Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2316: Chapter 2364: Martial Uncle’s Guidance

As soon as these words were spoken, the Angels nodded in agreement.

Hua Wenqi said with hostility, "Exactly. You’ll only delay our Chaoge’s cultivation.

"Chaoge, you should reconsider.

"Elder Yun is your best choice, truly. We aren’t lying to you."

Xia Chaoge, however, only had a face full of smiles. With a light tap of her toes, a First Layer of Space Law fluctuation appeared beneath her feet. In the next instant, she appeared right beside Jiang Fan, proving her stance with her actions.

Jiang Fan was slightly surprised. Xia Chaoge was only an Angel Leader, so how could she use Laws?

Then, realization dawned on him. When he had first broken into the mysterious cave dwelling in the Southern Heavenly Realm, he had unexpectedly obtained the legacy of its master, a Nine-winged Great Angel. That Great Angel had specialized in the spatial element.

Jiang Fan smiled faintly and said, "Your clansmen are all urging you to leave me. It’s not too late to regret your choice."

Xia Chaoge covered her mouth, chuckling softly. "You won’t let me regret it."

She refused to believe that her martial uncle would ever let her suffer any grievances.

Jiang Fan gave her a doting smile. He raised his palm slightly, and a dagger radiating a pure, holy light appeared in his grasp.

It was impressively the Angel Blade!

"A meeting gift for you," Jiang Fan said, pressing the Angel Blade into Xia Chaoge’s arms.

Waves of exclamations immediately erupted from the crowd.

"Is that the Angel Blade, the Quasi-Realm Artifact forged by the Heavenly Realm ten thousand years ago to combat the Hell Realm?"

"This artifact has long been lost! Our Northern Heavenly State can no longer forge it."

"The meeting gift he gave Xia Chaoge is actually a paramount treasure of this caliber?"

Even in the Northern Heavenly State with its profound foundation, a Quasi-Realm Artifact was a High Tier Magic Artifact that only Great Angels could possess. Who would ever give one to a mere Angel Leader?

Hua Wenqi was so shocked her jaw dropped. "Th-this... giving a Quasi-Realm Artifact just upon meeting?" she said in disbelief.

Even she was tempted!

Could a month of Yun Wanxiao’s guidance even compare to a Quasi-Realm Artifact?

The rest of the Angel Leaders were also unable to suppress their envious expressions. Unable to resist the temptation, a female Angel Leader stepped forward and said cautiously, "Senior, I... I also wish to improve."

Jiang Fan did not even glance at her. "I am only guiding one person. You signed up too late.

"Chaoge, come with me."

Xia Chaoge held the Angel Blade with a face full of joy. This was the second gift her martial uncle had given her, following the legacy of the Nine-winged Great Angel. She followed closely on Jiang Fan’s heels as they departed, leaving the surrounding Angels with mixed and complicated feelings.

West Empress also slowly stood up. She swept her gaze over the Angel Leaders and said indifferently, "Why is it that between heaven and earth, those who possess fortuitous encounters are so few?

"On one hand, it is because such opportunities are inherently rare.

"On the other hand, it is because those who can actually seize them have always been exceedingly rare."

Having said her piece, she silently turned and returned to the West Saint Palace.

The Angel Leaders present felt even more uncomfortable in their hearts.

Hua Wenqi bit her red lip and snorted, "Hmph, he just happens to possess a few of the Angel Clan’s treasures, that’s all. I want to see just what level he can guide Chaoge to in a month’s time!"

On a mountain peak that pierced straight into the clouds, Jiang Fan sat cross-legged on a boulder. Xia Chaoge sat on another boulder opposite him, her beautiful eyes staring at him without blinking.

It was as if she could never get enough of looking at him. Sensing the Sage aura radiating from Jiang Fan, she asked curiously, "When did you break through to the Sage realm? The process must have been very difficult, right? Did you run into any danger?"

Xia Chaoge, who was usually a woman of few words, seemed to have endless things to say when facing the long-absent Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan said evenly, "We aren’t that familiar with each other. You’ve crossed the line."

Xia Chaoge puffed out her cheeks slightly. "You’re clearly a playboy with one beautiful girl after another constantly by your side. Yet when it comes to me, you’re so cold!"

Jiang Fan’s face remained expressionless as he replied, "Let’s begin your cultivation.

"Your Angel Race emphasizes bloodline purity and Magic cultivation, correct?"

Unlike most races, which followed the Ancient Saint of Cloud Desolation’s Cultivation Method of comprehending heaven and earth, the Angel Clan still maintained an extremely ancient method of bloodline inheritance. Elevating their bloodline strength was their primary shortcut to growing stronger. Aside from that, it was practicing the many bizarre Magic arts unique to the Angel Clan.

Xia Chaoge hadn’t genuinely expected Jiang Fan to guide her in the angelic path of cultivation, so she casually replied, "Yes.

"My mother gave me some secret treasures that can enhance my bloodline strength.

"Over the next month, I’ll do my best to absorb them and strive to achieve the greatest improvement, all to help you secure first place."

In this guidance program, the Great Angel who secured first place would be able to obtain the Power of Absolute Beginning. She wanted to help Jiang Fan get it. This might be the very last time she could help Jiang Fan in her life, for after this, she would likely have to marry East Emperor. It would be difficult for her to cross paths with Jiang Fan again.

*Mother?*

Jiang Fan thought to himself in surprise, "Who is Chaoge’s mother? Just what kind of noble and elegant mother could give birth to such an outstanding descendant like Chaoge? I’d really like to meet her if the opportunity arises."

Withdrawing his thoughts, he nodded and said, "Let me see your secret treasures."

Obediently, Xia Chaoge brought out a snow-white fruit. Faint red textures were embedded within it, resembling meridians. Jiang Fan swept his senses into it and immediately detected a faint trace of Holy Power. This proved that those red textures contained Holy Blood.

Xia Chaoge explained, "This is a Divine Fruit unique to our Northern Heavenly State. It grew from a fruit tree formed by the Essence Blood of a Holy Angel who fell in the past.

"It only bears one hundred fruits a year, and I have ten of them.

"If I consume them all, I might have a chance to advance to a Four Qi Angel Lord."

Jiang Fan looked at the top of Xia Chaoge’s head, where three Little Angels fluttered up and down—the very hallmark of a Three-qi Angel Lord. Back when Xia Chaoge left Central Earth, she hadn’t even stepped into the Angel Leader realm. After not seeing her for nearly four months, she was already a Three-qi Angel Lord. And this was despite the fact that she had extracted more than half of her Holy Angel Bloodline to leave for Jiang Fan. Otherwise, she would likely have reached the level of a Five Qi Angel Lord by now.

A trace of guilt echoed in his heart. The things he had given Xia Chaoge could be counted on one hand, yet she had given him far, far too much.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "Put the fruit away. Starting today, I will do everything in my power to help you elevate your bloodline."

Xia Chaoge tilted her head. The fruit in her hand was already the strongest Divine Fruit for enhancing bloodlines in the Northern Heavenly State. If she put it away, how was she supposed to improve?

Jiang Fan didn’t say a word. He brought out the Immortal King’s Undying Bell and inverted it over the two of them, trapping them inside.

The space was no more than ten feet wide, causing their knees to touch as they sat cross-legged facing each other. This sudden close contact caught Xia Chaoge off guard. Her heart accelerated, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP. Her face flushed red at a visible speed, and her gaze evasively dropped as she looked at Jiang Fan. Flustered, she asked, "Martial Uncle... what are you doing?"

That was, until the dim interior of the Immortal King’s Undying Bell suddenly glowed dark red.

In the palm of Jiang Fan’s hand, a crystal-clear, blood-red bead the size of an eye appeared. It emanated an incomparably powerful Holy Angel aura. This aura condensed into shockwaves that threatened to spread in all directions, but fortunately, they were absorbed by the Immortal King’s Undying Bell. Otherwise, if it had spread throughout the Northern Heavenly State, it would have sent tremors across the entire Heavenly Realm.

Xia Chaoge’s eyes widened. "Is this... Angel Holy Blood?"
