Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2305: Chapter 2353: Entering the Northern Heavenly State

A favor too great turns into enmity. How does one erase a debt of gratitude they can never repay? According to the rules of the world, simply killing the benefactor would do. Jiang Fan’s face darkened. "This second personality of yours is quite shameless," he remarked. He silently activated the Hammer of Thunder God, hoping to catch the woman off guard.

Unexpectedly, the woman in gorgeous purple clothes wagged her finger. "No, no, no, I’m not that cold and callous of a person.

"This lady is still very kindhearted."

With a half-smile, she began chanting those ancient syllables once again. It was astonishingly that eerie Magic capable of deleting a person’s memories, or even their very existence. The next instant, the fluctuation swept over Jiang Fan. However, without any suspense, a soft RUSTLE brushed past him.

Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered slightly. He grabbed his head and put on a look of utter bewilderment. "What did you do to me?

"My memories seem to be missing!"

He wasn’t entirely sure which part of his memories this woman intended to erase, so he dared not be too specific about what he supposedly forgot.

The woman in gorgeous purple clothes crossed her arms over her chest and said, "You heartless thing. You were in danger in a Dark World, nearly eaten by the Ancient Blood Demon Emperor, and I was the one who saved you!

"How dare you bite the hand that feeds you and suspect me?"

Jiang Fan was so furious he almost laughed. He thought, "Oh boy, eradicating my memory of her life-saving favor is one thing, but to audaciously turn the tables and claim to be my savior? This second personality’s heart is even blacker than the Big Black Dog’s." He feigned ignorance and frowned. "So I lost my memories when I was injured?"

"What else could it be?" the woman in gorgeous purple clothes huffed. "You think I deleted them?"

Jiang Fan spat inwardly but quickly and respectfully cupped his hands. "Thank you, Senior!

"I have no way to repay you for saving my life. I will gladly work like a horse to serve you in my next life.

"Farewell!"

The woman in gorgeous purple clothes stomped her foot in anger. "Hmph, you pragmatic little thing!

"If I were in another younger body, you’d be singing a completely different tune!

"Don’t wait until your next life to repay me. Come with me to the Northern Heavenly State and help me refine a few batches of Seventh Grade Spirit Pills. That will count as your repayment."

He wondered, "Is this woman biological sisters with Linglong?" One was more shameless than the other! However, Jiang Fan wasn’t opposed to going to the Northern Heavenly State. This was because he needed to take someone away from there—Xia Chaoge! In the past, his strength had been insufficient, leaving him with no choice but to watch helplessly as she was taken away by the East Emperor. To prevent Jiang Fan from risking his life to find her, Chaoge had even begged the East Emperor to cast a Magic spell, erasing all traces of her existence in the Central Earth. But now, Jiang Fan had already reached the Sage Realm. It was time to bring Chaoge back.

Jiang Fan looked troubled. "If you want me to do Alchemy, I’ll do it right here. What if you don’t let me leave after we go to your Northern Heavenly State?"

The woman in gorgeous purple clothes smacked Jiang Fan on the forehead. "Am I that kind of person?"

Jiang Fan turned around, giving her the back of his head as an answer. This woman’s maiden personality was absolutely capable of pulling a stunt like that.

Grinding her teeth, the woman in gorgeous purple clothes asked, "Then what do you propose?"

Jiang Fan’s eyes darted around before he replied, "Give me something as collateral. I’ll return it to you when you let me go." As he spoke, his gaze landed on the maiden’s finger. "How about this Space Storage Device?"

The woman in gorgeous purple clothes raised her fist, wanting to punch Jiang Fan hard. This guy really dared to dream! Her entire life’s savings were inside it! However, recalling that Jiang Fan’s memory had already been erased and he had completely forgotten the Spell for the Space Storage Device, she figured there would be no harm in letting him hold onto it temporarily. After a brief moment of thought, she feigned generosity, took off the Space Storage Device, and tossed it to Jiang Fan.

"There really isn’t a shred of trust between people these days."

Catching it nimbly, Jiang Fan wore a look of profound relief. "Alright, let’s head to the Northern Heavenly State right now."

The wings on the back of the woman in gorgeous purple clothes flapped, whipping up an overwhelmingly powerful airstream that swept Jiang Fan along as they headed toward the Northern Heavenly State.

An hour later.

The jagged, irregular borders of the Northern Heavenly State came into view. Directly below them lay the Central Earth and the Hell Realm. As it turned out, after killing the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis, the paper crane had carried Jiang Fan drifting through the turbulent currents of the void, coincidentally bringing him back near the Central Earth.

Looking at the Northern Heavenly State, a place he had never set foot in, Jiang Fan turned his head toward the woman in gorgeous purple clothes beside him, whose nine pairs of wings had now grown exceptionally faint. "I still don’t know your name, Senior?" He thought, "This person must hold quite an extraordinary status in the Northern Heavenly State, right?"

Without hesitation, the woman in gorgeous purple clothes replied, "Me? I’m Zishao Hua.

"Of course, everyone calls me by another name.

"The West Empress."

What? Jiang Fan’s pupils quaked. There were only two Nine-winged Great Angels in the entire Northern Heavenly State. One was the East Emperor, and the other was the West Empress. Rumor had it that the two were husband and wife. The woman he had inadvertently saved in the Dark World turned out to be the West Empress, a Nine-winged Great Angel of the Northern Heavenly State!

Thinking back to the jade plaque she had given him—engraved with the character "West"—and the fact that she dared to erase the East Emperor’s memories, Jiang Fan rubbed his face vigorously. He told himself, "I should have guessed it earlier! What ordinary Great Angel would dare to sneak into the Dark World?"

Falling into the hands of a Nine-winged Great Angel like her meant escaping wouldn’t be easy. Naturally, there was some good news as well. And that was the fact that a titan who had ruled the Northern Heavenly State for ten thousand years was bound to have plenty of good stuff in her Space Storage Device.

"And you, what’s your name?" the West Empress looked at Jiang Fan, asking curiously.

Jiang Fan replied without missing a beat, "I am from the Divine Capital. My name is Young Master Fan." Since the East Emperor’s memories had been deleted anyway, there were very few people in the entire Northern Heavenly State who recognized him. Any random name would suffice.

The West Empress’s almond-shaped eyes went wide. "You’re actually from the Divine Capital?

"Furthermore, not just anyone is worthy of bearing the surname ’Young Master’."

However, she suddenly felt that this made perfect sense. Other than the Divine Capital, she couldn’t fathom where else could cultivate such a young Eight-star Soul Master. Her eyes darted around. She felt it was necessary to properly win over this distinguished guest from the Divine Capital standing before her. If she could leverage his connections to get in touch with certain almighty figures in the Divine Capital, paying a small price would be well worth it.

She smiled pleasantly and said, "Young Master, my Northern Heavenly State was once the center of the Heavenly Realm and harbors endless supreme treasures.

"Would you be interested in taking a tour?"

He wondered, "Supreme treasures of the Northern Heavenly State?" The very first thing that popped into Jiang Fan’s mind was a top-grade supreme treasure! One of the Four Immortal Mountains of the Heavenly Realm—the Five Magnet Immortal Mountain! Because his Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain lacked enough stones from the Five Magnet Immortal Mountain, its current power was long past being able to deal with formidable enemies. If he could obtain the Five Magnet Immortal Mountain during this trip to the Northern Heavenly State, his Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain would receive an unprecedented upgrade.

He mused aloud, "I’ve heard that the World Embryo of the Northern Heavenly State is the former Five Magnet Immortal Mountain?"

The West Empress’s smile vanished. "Since you know the Five Magnet Immortal Mountain is our World Embryo, Young Master, you should also know that outsiders are not easily allowed near the World Embryo."

"I’ll only look. I promise not to touch," Jiang Fan said unhurriedly.

Hearing this, the West Empress rolled her eyes at him. "That sounds a little too familiar." After pondering for a moment, she said, "Alright, as long as you successfully refine three batches of Seventh Grade Great Pills, I can make the call to take you to the Five Magnet Immortal Mountain.

"I can even gift you a few stones."
