Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1333: Chapter 1346: Opening One’s Heart

Looking at the silent Jiang Fan, True Word Venerable couldn’t help but recall their past.

When they first met Jiang Fan, he was still a young boy bullied by Evil Crow Venerable.

The next time they met, True Word Venerable was brought back to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion by him.

After that, they personally witnessed his journey to becoming a legend.

Venturing alone into the heart of the Heavenly Realm, slaying the Space Giant King, and contending with the Five-star Giant King.

On the Heavenly Mountain Battlefield, before the Giant Emperor, he fought to the death to eliminate the human clan traitors.

Finally, re-entering the Heavenly Realm, he resolutely stayed behind to save Xingyuan Venerable, battling against the Five-star Giant King and Wu Gou, the unrivaled elite enemies, hoping for a sliver of opportunity.

His strength might not be top-tier.

But the brilliance of his humanity, like a radiant sun, makes people dare not look directly.

Even she felt ashamed in comparison.

If her disciple were Jiang Fan instead of Chen Jing, she would certainly be happy every day.

Because, under the sky, there is no mentor who would not feel proud.

Unfortunately, Chen Jing is indeed her disciple.

Moreover, for the sake of Chen Jing, she must sever ties with Jiang Fan.

At this moment, she felt a bit reluctant.

Jiang Fan’s various offenses against her, those scenes that once made her feel ashamed and angry, upon reflection now, did not stir even a bit of anger.

Instead, there was a faint sense of melancholy for the soon-to-be distance.

She regretted a little.

Perhaps, it was not necessary to be so resolute, just seeing each other less would work.

”Or maybe...” she began to speak, intending to change her mind.

”It’s okay, let’s become strangers in the future.”

But Jiang Fan agreed.

”It’s unfortunately brought confusion to you and your disciple, senior.”

”Thank you, senior, for protecting me when I was weak, in front of Evil Crow Venerable.”

”I will remember this kindness in my heart and not forget.”

”After today, we will become strangers.”

True Word Venerable felt like a part was excavated from their heart.

A bit of disappointment, and a bit of pain.

But the words had already been spoken, irreversible.

”However...”

Just when True Word Venerable was sad, Jiang Fan’s words took a turn, inexplicably reviving their heart.

”Before we become strangers, could you do me one last favor, senior?”

True Word Venerable nodded repeatedly: ”Go ahead.”

Jiang Fan looked out at Venerate Xinnie, without hiding, and said:

”Venerate Xinnie is searching for a practitioner of Void Flow Thunder Force, do you know this, senior?”

True Word Venerable showed a strange expression: ”I’ve heard, and the person is called Wang Chongxiao.”

”In pursuing him, Venerate Xinnie has caused much bloodshed recently.”

She was somewhat confused.

Didn’t Jiang Fan mention that Wang Chongxiao was a made-up name by him?

Then who is Wang Chongxiao that Venerate Xinnie seeks, causing rivers of blood?

Until Jiang Fan calmly said, ”That person, is me.”

What?

True Word Venerable was taken aback: ”Ah? You’re the one Venerate Xinnie has been chasing for more than half a year?”

”But how did you become his true disciple?”

Jiang Fan said helplessly, ”Many coincidences formed this.”

”Precisely because I am his true disciple, upon knowing the truth, he would feel more betrayed and thus retaliate even more madly.”

”Therefore, I would like to ask you for a favor, senior.”

It took True Word Venerable a while to accept that Jiang Fan was indeed the Void Flow Thunder practitioner causing such a stir.

She regained her composure, looking at Venerate Xinnie with some apprehension:

”It’s very difficult for me to kill him.”

”Venerate Xinnie, being from Young Emperor Mountain, surely has considerable strength.”

Jiang Fan said, ”I would never dare ask for such an excessive request.”

”I only wish that when Venerate Xinnie discovers I am the Void Flow Thunder practitioner and wants to kill me, could you speak on my behalf, senior?”

True Word Venerable shook her head: ”He won’t listen to persuasion.”

”To kill you, he’s turned Taicang State into rivers of blood.”

”I’ve heard that there are sects that were exterminated, leaving no one alive.”

”His determination to kill you is ironclad, and he wouldn’t abandon it just because of my persuasion...”

Jiang Fan raised his hand slightly, interrupting her words.

”You misunderstand, senior, I am not asking for leniency.”

”But rather to let me finish a task first.”

”Afterward, it won’t be too late to kill me.”

True Word Venerable was moved: ”Do you want to meet people from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, to arrange your last wishes?”

Jiang Fan shook his head: ”I’ve experienced countless life-and-death dangers; they are long prepared for my death.”

”There’s no need for me to arrange any last wishes.”

”I want to...”

He looked towards the northwest direction of White Horse Temple.

”I want, before I die, to first bring down the Asura Clan from above.”

”In four or five days, it will be the grand hunt of the Ancient Giants from the Heavenly Realm.”

”The Asura clans in those villages will face their darkest moment, which occurs only once in a hundred years.”

”I had agreed with them that those willing to come to Central Earth would move the Connecting Sky Black Pillar, to bring them down.”

”The Nascent Soul Middle Late Stage Asuras among them will be a great help for us in Taicang State to resist the Ancient Giants.”

”Therefore, I want to complete this last task for Taicang State first.”

”Then have a life-death confrontation with Venerate Xinnie, and if I die then, at least there will be one less regret.”

True Word Venerable was in shock and awe.

The waves in their heart were difficult to calm down for a long time.

Facing death, what Jiang Fan was concerned about was the safety of Taicang State.

Previously, Jiang Fan had resolutely stayed in the Heavenly Realm to save Xingyuan Venerable.

That kind of spiritual impact was hard to fully experience from a projection, without being present in person.

Now, in front of Jiang Fan, feeling his compassion for all lives up close, she was deeply moved.

She somewhat understood why Venerable Lianjing would disregard such great risk, returning to the place almost leading to her fall.

That was because she was influenced by Jiang Fan.

”How about it, senior, could you help?”

”Just need to persuade him a little; if he agrees, that’s best. If not, you can leave.”

”This is my last request before we become strangers.”

Jiang Fan asked.

True Word Venerable’s eyes glistened.

No wonder Jiang Fan agreed to becoming strangers in the future.

Because, there was no future.

This was his request before death.

”Alright, I agree,” True Word Venerable’s voice was low.

Jiang Fan cupped his hands in salute: ”Thank you, senior.”

”I feel relieved.”

”Please undo the barrier, I should give a conclusion after hiding from Venerate Xinnie for so long!”

As the barrier was lifted.

Jiang Fan returned to Venerate Xinnie’s side.

”Do you need your teacher to back you up?” Venerate Xinnie glanced at True Word Venerable, who stood in the distance, not leaving.

Jiang Fan said, ”Thank you, master, but I’m fine.”

”Please activate the Wish Paper to find the Void Flow Thunder again.”

Venerate Xinnie nodded gently, saying, ”Very well.”

He raised the Wish Paper.

Suddenly, noticing the space storage device on his forefinger, he paused his action.

He removed the space storage device and handed it to Jiang Fan.

”Take it.”

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment: ”Master, what is this for?”

He had already prepared to act first, to strike preemptively.

But Venerate Xinnie handed his space storage device to him!

Venerate Xinnie said, ”Haven’t you wondered why I brought you here?”

Jiang Fan was slightly startled.

Only then did he realize, with the Wish Paper and a suspect, Venerate Xinnie didn’t need to bring along a burden like him.

”Disciple doesn’t understand master’s deeper meaning.”

Venerate Xinnie said, ”I am running out of time.”

”After making the wish, the chance of survival diminishes greatly.”

”It might even result in immediate death, which is why I haven’t used the Wish Paper so far.”

”The cost is too great.”

He pushed the space storage ring into Jiang Fan’s hand.

”If I survive after making the wish, return the storage ring.”

”If I fall...”

He chuckled hoarsely, ”Then you profit, kid.”

”The spell is engraved on the back of the ring; remember it and erase it, don’t let someone else take it.”
