Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 440: Chapter 440: Seeing the Void Ancient Tree Again Chapter 440: Chapter 440: Seeing the Void Ancient Tree Again

As his vision gradually sank into darkness, he once again entered the long-lost world.

The Void Ancient Tree was still as grand as ever. Standing under it, he couldn’t see the top that soared into the clouds.

His eyes fell on a fruit.

Sealed within it was the cultivation technique he had been longing for!

Soul Secret Technique—— “Soul Cutting Three Forms”!

He immediately leaped up.

This time, without any resistance, he easily grabbed the fruit.

With a strong tug, the fruit came off and fell into Jiang Fan’s palm. “Soul attack secret technique, ‘Soul Cutting Three Forms,’ level… Earth-level High!!!”

Jiang Fan gasped.

It was actually an Earth-level High cultivation technique!

A technique of such level had never existed in the Nine-Sect Land.

Moreover, it was the most mysterious soul secret technique!

If he could learn the soul attack method within, it would be an extremely powerful ace up his sleeve!

Rustle, rustle.

At this moment, it seemed that Jiang Fan’s action of picking the fruit triggered a chain reaction.

He only heard a series of noises as branches were hit.

Jiang Fan quickly dodged.

Bang!

A stone plate smashed where Jiang Fan had stood.

The ground was pitted with a hole as deep as an ankle.

Amidst the white smoke, an ancient White Jade Plate came into view.

On the White Jade Plate were incredibly complex patterns, extremely mysterious.

They seemed like some kind of array, or a sacrificial method.

The Jade Plate was divided into three areas.

The patterns of each area ultimately led to a thumb-sized hole.

The three holes surrounded a central eyeball-sized hole like stars around the moon. “What is this?”

Jiang Fan was surprised.

Besides fruit, the Void Ancient Tree even dropped physical objects.

He picked it up.

The moment he touched it, a spark of electricity flashed through his mind, bringing a lot of information. “Life Changing Jade Disc, Top Grade Spiritual Artifact.” “It can produce Sky-reaching Marrow to break through the Nascent Soul Realm!”

What?

Jiang Fan’s pupils trembled violently.

This Jade Plate was actually a Top Grade Spiritual Artifact?

Moreover, it could produce the spiritual liquid needed to break through the Nascent Soul Realm?

Does this mean?

He had a glimmer of hope to reach the Nascent Soul Realm, unlike the Core Formation Realm experts of the Nine-Sect Land who had no hope at all?

This made him incredibly happy.

The more he understood, the more he realized how difficult it was to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

The renowned Sword King Xu Qingyang roamed the world, yet never found an opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul.

The powerful Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master managed to ascend to the Nascent Soul Realm solely by a stroke of great fortune.

Theoretically, the Ninth Layer Core Formation experts of the Nine-Sect Land were far from enough to produce a Nascent Soul.

Having one Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master was already an immense blessing to the Nine-Sect Land.

There could almost never be a second Nascent Soul martial artist.

But Jiang Fan.

Just after breaking through Core Formation, he immediately had hope for the Nascent Soul Realm.

However,

Jiang Fan didn’t celebrate for too long.

Because a new piece of information left him dumbfounded. “Conditions for production: Gather three Nascent Soul realm souls and a drop of Divinity Transformation realm essence blood.”

Jiang Fan opened his mouth.

He didn’t know what to say anymore.

Three Nascent Soul souls?

If he had the ability to kill Nascent Soul realm experts and seize their souls, he wouldn’t need to break through to the Nascent Soul!

Even so, it still needed a drop of Divinity Transformation realm essence blood!

What kind of existence was the Divinity Transformation realm?

It was doubtful whether they even existed in this world!

Holding the Life Changing Jade Disc, Jiang Fan felt conflicted. He neither wanted to throw it away nor could he bear to keep it!

After a while, he smiled bitterly: “Breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm truly has no shortcuts.” “Every path is fraught with danger!”

After standing still for a while, he sighed.

Finally, he looked up at the Void Ancient Tree.

Vaguely, he saw a fruit with a bamboo slip sealed inside. “Heaven-level sword technique ‘Dayan Sword Array’.” “Once the sword array forms, it can kill Divinity Transformation!”

What?

Jiang Fan gasped.

Excitedly, he leaped up to grasp the fruit.

But he was suppressed and pushed back like before.

A message appeared in his mind. “Only Nascent Soul realm can pick.”

Jiang Fan was itching with anticipation!

Mastering a sword technique that could slay Divinity Transformation realm experts.

How terrifying was that?

Yet he had to break through to Nascent Soul first to obtain it. “You… you dead tree, are you deliberately teasing me?”

Jiang Fan angrily kicked the Void Ancient Tree.

Snap—

But the next moment, the Void Ancient Tree trembled all over.

A branch whipped towards him with lightning speed.

Jiang Fan, with quick reflexes, decisively exited the conscious space before the branch could hit him.

He avoided the whipping.

Unknown to him, a faint voice of laughter and cursing came from the top of the Void Ancient Tree.

Jiang Fan’s consciousness returned to his body.

His hands each held something.

One was “Soul Cutting Three Forms,” and the other was the Life Changing Jade Disc.

Jiang Fan directly threw the latter into the Heavenly Thunder Stone space.

He solely focused on “Soul Cutting Three Forms.” “Earth-level High technique, the first move, ‘Soul-shocking Stab.ʼ” “The stronger the soul of the user, the greater the power. It can sting the soul of an opponent of the same realm, causing minor damage.” “For souls three realms lower than oneself, it can inflict serious injury.” “For souls six realms lower, it can kill outright.”

Jiang Fan frowned. “This explanation is too vague.” “To understand the power of ‘Soul-shocking Stab,’ I must first confirm the strength of my soul power.” “But, besides the Soul Tower at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, there’s nowhere and no good method to test my soul power.”

The testing of soul power was very specialized.

Ordinary magical treasures or forces couldn’t accurately measure a person’s soul strength. “No matter, let’s practice first.” “With my approximate fourth-grade Soul Master soul strength, ‘Soul-shocking Stab’ should be quite powerful.”

He immediately began to cultivate.

It was his first time practicing an Earth-level High technique.

Even with his talent, he felt a bit strained.

And this was under the premise that he had cultivated “Taiyin Soul Technique” and had a basic command over soul power.

If it were given to someone completely unfamiliar with soul power, they might find it as incomprehensible as reading a book of heaven.

Just as he was about to continue practicing, a knock came from the door. Liu Qingxian’s voice, with a hint of jealousy: “Your pretty junior niece is here to see you.”

Jiang Fan’s mouth twitched.

He could only put away the cultivation technique and step outside.

He saw Xia Chaoge standing gracefully in the courtyard, dressed in a fresh yellow long dress embroidered with cloud and water daffodils.

Compared to her usual cold and otherworldly demeanor, today’s attire added an extra touch of liveliness and charm. “Uncle Master.” Seeing Jiang Fan, Xia Chaoge’s usually indifferent face immediately showed a hint of joy.

Jiang Fan nodded: “Chaoge, what brings you to me?”

Xia Chaoge nodded and said: “Due to most of the disciples returning to Sunset City yesterday to exchange rewards,” “the beast tide took the opportunity to increase their attack on the defense line.” “Some powerful demon beasts broke through, and as a result, Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion issued an emergency mission.” “Going to the frontlines to kill five Beast Kings would count as one Profound Level mission.” “The more you kill, the more rewards you get.” “Jin Zhongming, Liang Feiyan, and Hua Xiangchen have already set off early.”

After a pause,

Xia Chaoge gently tucked her hair behind her ear and softly said: “Uncle Master, when will you set off? Chaoge will go with you.”
