Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer Perfection

Ling Guihai heard it and just found it funny, “You speak as if you’ve mastered the Sword Control Technique.”

Jiang Fan closed his eyes and sensed.

Sure enough, he could feel a trace of Sword Qi merging into his body, a slight sting as it penetrated his meridians.

This was just the beginning of cultivation.

As time passed, the scattered Sword Qi would increase.

What Ling Guihai said was not untrue.

Without the recognition of the Sword Qi here, it was impossible to cultivate long-term.

Fortunately, he really had learned the Sword Control Technique.

Immediately, he silently activated his Sword Heart.

Once the Sword Qi of the Sword Control Technique was demonstrated, the Sword Qi here instantly became docile.

Xu Yining felt the stinging sensation disappear and muttered in confusion, “Was it just an illusion?”

Then she looked at Ling Guihai suspiciously.

Could Ling Guihai have been trying to scare them?

After thinking about it, she stopped wondering and closed her eyes to cultivate.

Ling Guihai sneered, “Stubborn mule!” “Let’s see how long you can last.” “If you can last half a day, I’ll write my name backwards.”

Soon, several two-hour periods passed.

Ling Guihai and the few disciples gradually grew surprised.

Jiang Fan and Xu Yining were cultivating with ease, showing no discomfort at all.

Their aura was gradually improving as they deepened their cultivation.

It looked nothing like the scattered Sword Qi.

Worse yet, elite disciples from other sects began to find this place one after another.

Seeing two top-grade cultivation spots still available, they immediately rushed over.

This scene made the Myriad Swords Sect disciples anxious, “Junior Brother Ling, what should we do?”

Ling Guihai gritted his teeth and said, “Wait a bit longer! I don’t believe they can last half a day!”

Half a day passed in a flash.

This place was already filled with disciples from various sects.

Not to mention the two remaining top-grade spots had been taken.

Even the less desirable spots were occupied.

However, what made Ling Guihai and the other Myriad Swords Sect disciples even more frustrated was,

Jiang Fan and Xu Yining were still casually cultivating. “Why is this happening?” said the name-reversed Ling Guihai, in disbelief.

He didn’t understand.

Why was the Sword Qi here compliant with Jiang Fan, not rejecting him and Xu Yining?

It shouldn’t be!

Unfortunately, it was not the time to think about that.

The five Myriad Swords Sect disciples went from being confident to now being anxious. “Junior Brother Ling, what should we do?”

The best two top-grade cultivation spots were gone.

The other good spots were also occupied.

Now, even the lesser spots weren’t available for them.

Ling Guihai’s face darkened, and he shouted, “What’s the panic?” “Aren’t I here?”

He coldly glared at another top-grade cultivation spot occupied by the Desires Sect and snorted, “Ji Ruyue, you’ve had enough time to cultivate. It’s time to give up your spot!”

Unable to seize the No.1 Shadow Guard’s spot, he would turn on the Desires Sect.

Ji Ruyue felt a bitter taste in her mouth, having anticipated that Ling Guihai, unable to deal with Jiang Fan, would trouble her.

Although the other party was injured, he was still a genuine Second Level of Core Formation disciple.

How could she deal with that?

Reluctantly, she prepared to give up the spot along with her senior brothers and sisters.

Jiang Fan, still in cultivation, calmly said, “I’ll protect the Desires Sect.”

Ji Ruyue felt overjoyed.

She cupped her hands towards Jiang Fan gratefully, then continued her cultivation.

Ling Guihai’s face changed, and he said, “What do you mean?” “Do you intend to meddle in the Desires Sect’s affairs?”

Jiang Fan slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed within them, “Are you not convinced?”

Ling Guihai opened his mouth.

But remembering the other party’s imposing physique, he could only resentfully shift his gaze to Nie Yunxi and the Green Cloud Sect disciples, and shouted, “Get lost! You blind fools!”

Nie Yunxi was startled, intimidated by the other’s powerful aura, and prepared to move aside with a shiver.

However,

Jiang Fan coldly said again, “I’ll also protect the Green Cloud Sect.”

Nie Yunxi was overjoyed and gratefully cupped her hands multiple times, then sat back down at ease.

Fortunately, with No.1 Shadow Guard, otherwise today this third cultivation spot wouldn’t have been theirs.

Ling Guihai was infinitely annoyed and pointed to the remaining good cultivation spots, “You won’t protect them too, will you?”

Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow, a bit impatiently, “I don’t like noise. Go find another place to cultivate!”

Being constantly interrupted in cultivation would annoy anyone.

Leaving the Myriad Swords Sect disciples here, who knows what kind of disturbance they might cause. “What?”

The five Myriad Swords Sect disciples’ faces changed drastically. “The best cultivation spots are all concentrated here.” “Where are we supposed to find good spots?” “We’re not leaving!” “Right! Why should we, the Myriad Swords Sect disciples, as the hosts, not have a cultivation spot?”

Jiang Fan’s patience reached its limit.

He slapped the ground with both hands and sprang up.

Activating his movement technique, he left a string of afterimages, his fists all heading towards Ling Guihai.

Ling Guihai was shocked and hastily defended.

But already injured, how could he withstand it?

He was immediately sent flying, crashing into a swath of Sword Forest, blood spewing from his mouth. “You!” Ling Guihai was furious.

Why suddenly attack him?

Jiang Fan coldly said, “Take your people and leave!” “Continue being noisy, and I’ll keep hitting!”

Ling Guihai felt both ashamed and angry.

Was this guy too domineering?

But his strength far surpassed his own, leaving him no choice.

He then glared angrily at his five disciples and yelled, “What are you still lingering for?” “Find somewhere else!”

If they didn’t leave, he’d be the one getting hit again!

The five Myriad Swords Sect disciples looked resentful.

They had hoped to rely on Ling Guihai’s strength to occupy top-grade cultivation spots.

Instead, he was so easily defeated in front of the masked man.

Accepting this, they had missed out on other good cultivation spots.

Wasted half a day.

Not to mention top-grade spots, they couldn’t even find a decent cultivation place!

Several Myriad Swords Sect disciples, who had hoped to reach the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment, now hated Ling Guihai!

Watching them leave in disgrace,

Jiang Fan returned to his spot by the sword, resuming his cultivation.

Nie Yunxi and the other Green Cloud Sect disciples, who had felt aggrieved, now felt extremely satisfied.

The Myriad Swords Sect hosts didn’t even have ordinary cultivation spots.

They had the third-ranked spot, what more could they desire?

So, they happily resumed their cultivation.

A day later,

Jiang Fan was the first to break through to the Ninth Layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Having stayed at the Eighth Layer for so long, his foundation was extremely solid, making the breakthrough to the Ninth Layer feel natural.

Thus, he didn’t intend to stop.

He continued to seize the time to cultivate.

Two days later, before they finished their intensive training in the Sword Forest, he finally reached Ninth Layer Perfection.

His eyes glowed with excitement.

Don’t underestimate the difference between the Ninth Layer and Ninth Layer Perfection.

The difficulty of breaking through was more than twice that of breaking from the Eighth Layer to the Ninth Layer!

Without this Sword Forest, even with top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills, it would have taken at least two months!

This trip was truly fortuitous!

At the same time,

Xu Yining also had an enormous gain.

Starting at the Third Layer of Foundation Establishment, in the nourishment of the top-grade cultivation spot, she defied the odds, leaping three levels, reaching the Sixth Layer of Foundation Establishment!

Overjoyed, she grabbed Jiang Fan’s hand and said, “I’ve broken through to the Sixth Layer of Foundation Establishment, the Sixth Layer!”

This enormous breakthrough felt like a dream!

Ji Ruyue was also thrilled, saying, “I’ve broken through to the Seventh Layer of Foundation Establishment!”

Having started at the Fifth Layer, she also soared two levels!

The other three Desires Sect disciples, due to their higher realms, only broke through one realm each, reaching the Eighth and Ninth Layers of Foundation Establishment.

Meanwhile, at the Green Cloud Sect, the four other disciples, originally at the Sixth and Seventh Layers of Foundation Establishment, managed to break through to the next realm after three days of hard cultivation.

Only Nie Yunxi, at the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment, was held back by the lesser quality of their cultivation spot.

She remained at Eighth Layer Perfection.

Had she been at a top-grade cultivation spot, she would have long since broken through to the Ninth Layer.

Seeing the ecstatic Ji Ruyue and other Desires Sect disciples, her regret for earlier hesitation grew stronger.

She had missed the opportunity, and held back her junior brothers and sisters of the Green Cloud Sect.

But, without Jiang Fan’s protection, they couldn’t have kept the third spot.

Just as she was about to express her gratitude, suddenly, a straight bolt of lightning fiercely struck in the northeast.

The thunderous sound made the unsuspecting crowd stumble.

Jiang Fan abruptly stood up, looking towards the northeast.

Unwittingly thinking of Little Qilin’s previous sensing, there was Spiritual Power in the northeast comparable to this place.

But, it felt ominous.
