Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2336: Chapter 2385: True Appearance of the Five Magnet Immortal Mountain

Yu Luo’s obvious loss of composure drew the attention of the West Empress.

She raised an eyebrow. "What’s wrong with you now?"

Clenching his fists, Yu Luo replied, "I want to strangle him to death too!"

The West Empress chuckled at his words. These two were rather amusing, both itching to strangle each other. But it was for the best; if two outsiders were too united, she would be the one who needed to worry.

Having passed the West Empress’s scrutiny, Yu Luo sent a cold voice transmission: "Who told you?"

Jiang Fan smiled faintly, replying via Mute Zen, "Do you think I would answer you?"

Yu Luo felt a surge of apprehension. If the East Emperor and West Empress found out that their so-called Northern Heavenly State migration plan was a complete lie, let alone allowing them to enter the Five Magnet Immortal Mountain, they wouldn’t let them stay in the Northern Heavenly State for another second. Now, both men held dirt on each other, leaving their hands tied by mutual blackmail.

"Fine, I will tell you our plan," Yu Luo continued. "But you and I are in the same boat now. If you dare leak a word of this, we’ll perish together!"

Jiang Fan smiled amiably. "Of course."

Yu Luo gazed into the distance at the hand-shaped Five Magnet Immortal Mountain and said, "We... are going to seize the Five Magnet Immortal Mountain!"

Jiang Fan’s smile froze.

"Oh? So they’re trying to steal my property?" he thought.

Keeping his composure, Jiang Fan sent back, "Aren’t you being a bit too confident?

"The Five Magnet Immortal Mountain is inherently dangerous; it can directly crush an Eight-winged Archangel to death.

"Moreover, with the East Emperor and West Empress watching like hawks, no move you make will escape their eyes.

"Even taking a step back, if you actually succeeded, would the Saints of the Northern Heavenly State allow you to take this World Embryo away?"

Yu Luo chuckled. "Since we dare to scheme, we naturally have a fifty percent certainty of success.

"But if you help us, that certainty will rise to seventy percent."

Jiang Fan fell into deep thought. He only dared to target the Five Magnet Immortal Mountain because he had mastered various trump cards. For Yu Luo to claim a fifty percent success rate, he must possess quite a few hidden tricks himself.

"If you assist us, I can give you a Law from a Mixed Element Nine-winged Archangel," Yu Luo continued his voice transmission. "And that is exactly the reason why your secret was discovered.

"Of course, if you choose not to help but keep it a secret, I won’t force you."

"A Hun Yuan Law?" Jiang Fan thought to himself. Pondering for a moment, he replied, "Helping you requires risking my life.

"If things go south, I’m afraid I won’t make it out of the Northern Heavenly State alive.

"A mere Law is not worth taking such a massive risk."

Yu Luo’s eyes turned cold, assuming Jiang Fan intended to stand by and do nothing. But after a brief pause, Jiang Fan’s voice returned.

"You need to sweeten the deal.

"In addition to the Nine-winged Great Angel’s Law, I need more Power of Laws.

"One of each type will do."

With his successful vindication of his Dao and entry into the Sage realm, his Physique’s strength had finally caught up to his realm. He needed to continue cultivating the Buddha’s Quasi-Immortal Technique, the Heavenly Separation Sutra. And what he lacked most was various types of Power of Laws. He had previously commissioned Qiqi, but who knew where that shady little merchant had disappeared to. He had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.

Yu Luo was slightly surprised, unable to understand why Jiang Fan needed so many different types of the Power of Laws. However, his agreement to help was a good thing after all, and his demand wasn’t unreasonable.

"I currently hold ten types of the Power of Laws, the lowest of which belongs to a Four-winged Great Angel," Yu Luo proposed. "I will give you half upfront and pay the other half after it’s done. How about it?"

Jiang Fan readily agreed. "Deal."

And so, the two outsiders successfully struck a deal right under the noses of the East Emperor and West Empress.

Meanwhile, they finally arrived ten thousand zhang away from the Five Magnet Immortal Mountain.

Any further, and they would enter the mountain’s sphere of power. Standing there, even with their eyesight as a Sage and Great Angels, they actually couldn’t clearly make out the specific appearance of the Five Magnet Immortal Mountain. Their spiritual senses were suppressed by some unknown force, preventing them from reaching the mountain.

Bracing himself, the East Emperor stared at the thousand-zhang-tall mountain radiating five-colored brilliance with deep wariness. "We can enter up to five thousand zhang at most.

"If we get any closer to the Five Magnet Immortal Mountain, the Origin Umbrellas in our hands won’t be able to hold up."

With that, he held up his umbrella and stepped into this ten-thousand-zhang area of the Ten Thousand Forces Prohibition.

Jiang Fan followed the West Empress, approaching the Five Magnet Immortal Mountain for the first time. The moment he stepped into the ten-thousand-zhang zone, he immediately felt his spiritual senses being drastically compressed. Outside the area enveloped by the Five Elements Umbrella, his senses were completely suppressed. Even the strength of his Physique experienced a noticeable drop. And this was under the protection of the umbrella. Otherwise, he feared he would immediately turn into a puddle of mud, lying paralyzed on the ground.

"The Five Elements Power of the Five Magnet Immortal Mountain is far more massive than I imagined!" Jiang Fan exclaimed internally.

He finally understood why even Eight-winged Archangels would be trapped to death in the outer perimeter. If someone fell here with no one to rescue them and no ability to withstand the Five Elements Power themselves, it would truly be a near-certain death.

However...

Jiang Fan frowned slightly. If the East Emperor and West Empress had to be so careful just entering the ten-thousand-zhang zone, how was Yun Wanxiao able to obtain a legacy on the Five Magnet Immortal Mountain? Could it be that he also possessed the Five Elements Power?

"Be careful," the West Empress’s warning sounded by his ear.

Jiang Fan withdrew his Heart Spirit and nodded silently, sticking close to her side as if terrified of being left behind to die.

"To think he still wants to scheme against the Five Magnet Immortal Mountain with these measly skills," the West Empress scoffed inwardly. "He should just obediently grab a few rocks and be done with it."

Taking this in, Yu Luo also chuckled darkly to himself. "He dared to follow us without any life-saving measures?

"This is for the best. He will be much easier to control later."

The group maintained a steady pace, trudging through the five thousand zhang on foot as though they were mere mortals. The deeper they ventured, the more arduous it became. When they reached the boundary of the five-thousand-zhang mark, a faint, five-colored light barrier blocked their path.

It was only then that Jiang Fan noticed a thousand-zhang-tall, bowl-shaped Array hovering above the Five Magnet Immortal Mountain, capping it upside down. The vast majority of the Five Elements Power was isolated within the inner perimeter by this Array!

Listening to his bones creaking and looking at his feet sinking into the earth, he couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath. This was the result of an Array controlling the power of the Five Magnet Immortal Mountain. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have even been able to enter the outer perimeter!

The East Emperor and West Empress wore solemn expressions, their movements turning increasingly cautious. Upon noticing the numerous Rune stones flickering on the Array ahead, the East Emperor stopped in his tracks and said, "You all just observe from here."

Yu Luo and Hun Yuan gazed at the ancient Immortal Mountain with reverent, pilgrimage-like eyes.

Jiang Fan also looked over curiously. At such a close distance, he finally saw the true appearance of the Five Magnet Immortal Mountain. A thousand zhang tall, it resembled a gigantic hand reaching up to the heavens. The fingerprints were starkly clear, and the various lines on the palm crisscrossed intricately.

How was this a mountain? It was clearly the palm of a living creature!

What shocked Jiang Fan even more was the five-colored liquid continuously flowing out from the mountain. At first glance, wasn’t this Angel blood? Angel blood was red while inside the body, but once it left the body for a certain distance, it would automatically turn into five iridescent colors. And this blood was actually gluing the rocks above together!

Jiang Fan was stunned. "Could it be that the bloodline of the Angel Race all originated from the Immortal Mountain before me?" he wondered. "In that case, the original owner of this hand was..."

The thought of a terrifying existence violently reverberated through his mind!
