Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 966: Chapter 966: Emperor’s Gaze Technique

With trepidation, Jiang Fan stepped through the red light screen with Yu Peiyuan’s support.

Step by step, he walked forward.

By the time he reached the throne, with the help of the Fifth-grade Spirit Pill, his inner strength had been restored by sixty percent.

The person on the throne was finally clear to see.

It was a Divinity Transformation Venerable, with a dim halo on the back of his head, his body exuding a foul odor, as if beginning to rot.

He slowly opened his eyes, which were also very cloudy, like those of an old man.

But there was an undisguisable joy in his eyes:

"Congratulations, on becoming the champion of the Linyin Hunting."

"You can receive three rewards."

"First, an Ancient Token."

"Second, a Spirit Pill from the Heaven Furnace."

"Third, a set of Corpse Carving Cultivation Technique."

There was no hint of excitement in Jiang Fan’s eyes; he simply stared at the Divinity Transformation Venerable in front of him and said, "Senior, may I ask you a question?"

The Divinity Transformation Venerable smiled and said, "According to the rules, you can’t."

"But, considering that I was also once a Venerate of Central Earth, I will make an exception to answer one question for you."

"Ask away."

Jiang Fan said, "I heard that you once died but are now alive again?"

The Divinity Transformation Venerable fell silent and, after a while, sighed, "Another person peeking into the mystery of resurrection."

"It seems there is also someone you wish to bring back to life."

"Just like I was back then."

Jiang Fan’s heart moved slightly: "Then... Senior, did you succeed?"

The Divinity Transformation Venerable looked at Jiang Fan with a complex expression and said:

"Whether there is resurrection in this world, I think, like I was back then, you have come with the answer."

"Dust to dust, earth to earth, let everything go."

The flame in Jiang Fan’s eyes was instantly extinguished, his eyes becoming dim and lifeless.

A sense of helplessness rose in his heart, the last bit of luck shattered.

Yu Peiyuan then realized that Jiang Fan had come here for the secret of resurrection.

Did he recently lose someone very important?

A trace of reluctance crossed her heart, this answer failed Jiang Fan after such a perilous journey.

"Senior, why did you come back to life?"

Yu Peiyuan asked, voicing Jiang Fan’s doubt.

The Divinity Transformation Venerable said indifferently, "I didn’t die back then; there was still a wisp of remnant soul left."

"It was my master who saved me, gave me new life, and put me in charge of the Linyin Hunting Ground."

He looked at Jiang Fan again, joy overflowing in his eyes, "Quickly choose your rewards."

"Central Earth was not supposed to have a Linyin Hunting Ground appear. It was a Great Sage level ancient Demon Mirage causing chaos that mistakenly caused it to appear in Central Earth."

"Take what’s yours before everything is corrected."

"There won’t be another chance like this in the future."

Jiang Fan pulled himself together slightly, looked around at the corpses of the strong all over the ground, and saw the complex cultivation techniques on them, unable to choose a moment."

"Could I ask Senior to choose one for me?"

The Divinity Transformation Venerable nodded lightly, raised his hand, and summoned.

An unimposing ancient corpse lying on the ground floated over.

"This person once participated in the Linyin Hunting, perishing here, was a citizen of the Heavenly Court, cultivated the ’Emperor’s Gaze Technique’, of Heaven Level."

"Mastering this technique, one could discern the Spiritual Mountain Blessed Land, absorb the fortune of heaven and earth, and even intercept others’ fortunes for oneself and easily achieve greatness."

"The downside is, this technique defies divine will, after reaching the Divinity Transformation Realm, there will be backlash."

Jiang Fan was taken aback; this ’Emperor’s Gaze Technique’ was truly domineering.

As for the backlash after reaching the Divinity Transformation Realm, asking how many can reach that realm?

"Additionally..." The Divinity Transformation Venerable appeared regretful, "The technique chooses its practitioners, not everyone can cultivate it."

"It requires someone blessed by heaven to practice."

"Others find it hard to enter."

Really?

Jiang Fan was a bit skeptical.

He couldn’t believe his own comprehension couldn’t master this technique.

But to his surprise, when he focused on the Corpse Carving Cultivation Technique, the script on it began to blur!

Not giving him a chance to comprehend.

Jiang Fan had never encountered a cultivation technique he couldn’t comprehend before.

Regretfully, the Divinity Transformation Venerable said, "It seems this technique does not suit you."

Jiang Fan was unwilling and said, "Can I take the technique back with me?"

The technique personally chosen by the Divinity Transformation Venerable must be the best here; if he couldn’t practice it, he could take it back and let Concubine Yunxia try it.

The Divinity Transformation Venerable flicked his fingers, and the corpse flew towards Jiang Fan, "Take it."

Jiang Fan immediately stowed it away.

Then he looked at the Pill Furnace spewing colorful clouds and said, "Senior, about the Pill Furnace..."

The Divinity Transformation Venerable said, "There are many Spirit Pills inside, mostly Fifth-grade Spirit Pills, with a few Sixth-grade Spirit Pills."

"But it will only reward you one at random; its effect unknown, it’s up to your luck."

"Though I am in charge here, I cannot sway the Heaven Furnace."

Sixth grade?

Jiang Fan showed slight shock, under the Divinity Transformation Venerable’s guidance, he approached the Heaven Furnace.

Sensing the blood-colored column of light behind him, the inside of the Heaven Furnace began to rumble, emitting the sound of countless pills rolling.

Then.

A red pill flew out, landing in front of Jiang Fan.

The Divinity Transformation Venerable was surprised, "Good luck, it’s a Spirit Pill for raising the Nascent Soul Realm cultivation."

"Its effect is not far from the Dragon Marrow Seed; if the Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivation is deep enough, breaking through a realm isn’t hard."

"It’s one of the finest Spirit Pills from the Heaven Furnace."

Only Fifth-grade though, Jiang Fan sighed, it seemed his luck was quite ordinary.

Suddenly, Jiang Fan remembered something, curiously asking, "Senior, what is a Dragon Marrow Seed?"

He had always wanted to ask someone about the mysterious beans he found in the Divinity Transformation Relics.

The Spiritual Energy within them was so immense, consuming them even at the Core Formation Realm risked self-explosion.

But since they were a Divinity Transformation relic, he didn’t know who to consult for answers.

The senior in front of him might be someone to ask.

The Divinity Transformation Venerable smiled, "Dragon Marrow Seeds were already extinct in Central Earth when I was alive."

"Don’t even think about it."

After a pause, he casually pointed out a light image, "Fine, let me show you as a token for your thoughts."

The light image condensed into a clear picture.

It was a small bean the size of a pinky, entirely crystalline, like tiny jade pearls.

Jiang Fan’s heart surged with waves of emotions.

So those stacks of beans were the extinct Dragon Marrow Seeds?

He showed no expression, merely bowed and thanked, "Thank you for the guidance, Senior."

The Divinity Transformation Venerable shook his head, "No need to thank me."

Then he turned to Yu Peiyuan, "Though you’re not first, you did make it into the top three and have a chance to get a Spirit Pill."

Yu Peiyuan was overjoyed.

She quickly went to the Heaven Furnace, using her talent for sensing luck, suddenly casting a spell at a certain time.

With a bang.

A snow-white rabbit, glistening with layers of light, spat out from the Heaven Furnace and bolted away!

The Divinity Transformation Venerable was amazed, "A Sixth-grade Spirit Pill? Such luck, girl!"

He raised a hand to capture the snow rabbit, and with a grasp of his fingers, the rabbit turned into a Spirit Pill entirely snow-white, with the faint image of a small white rabbit running inside.

"It’s an Ancestor Returning Pill; if your ancestors had a certain powerful bloodline, consuming this pill may enhance that bloodline."

"Girl, you are incredibly lucky, it might defy fate for you."

Yu Peiyuan was overjoyed, quickly cupping it with both hands, "Thank you, Senior."

The Divinity Transformation Venerable finally looked at Jiang Fan and said:

"Next is the crucial Ancient Token."

"With this token, you will have the opportunity in the future to participate in the Ancient Wilderness Hunting."

"It’s a grander and more magnificent hunting ground than the Linyin Hunting Ground."

"The prey is even more dangerous, starting from the Nascent Soul Realm, with even some at the Divinity Transformation Realm!"
