Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2157: Chapter 2201: Taiqing Hao Ran Technique

Jiang Fan was secretly amazed.

On the walls of the Daqian Divine Kingdom’s Imperial Palace, there’s an image of three Divine Trees.

No.

This is merely part of it.

On the remaining walls, perhaps there are images of other Divine Trees as well.

Indeed, just as he suspected.

Three images of destruction, under the influence of the Domain, gave birth to a completely new pattern.

It was a mysterious Void.

An ancient, broken continent hung between heaven and earth.

It was fragmented, transformed into countless pieces.

Yet, it barely connected into a whole.

Because there were nine unusual, gigantic Divine Trees, each standing at a corner of heaven and earth.

Their roots firmly anchored a piece of the continent, preventing the fragments from drifting afar.

And above the shattered continent.

A blood-red Thunder Pool surged with countless destructive thunderbolts, continuously crashing down on the nine Divine Trees.

Branches snapped, leaves scattered, and scorch marks marred the trunks.

Jiang Fan saw that one of them was the Void Divine Tree.

It stood at the center of the continent, straight beneath the Thunder Pool, receiving the most strikes from the Blood Thunder.

Jiang Fan curiously looked at the blood-red Thunder Pool.

What kind of thing could wound the Void Divine Tree?

Unexpectedly, just with one glance, that blood-red Thunder Pool seemed to awaken some hidden presence.

The Blood Pool ceased its attacks, gradually converging into a blood-colored eye.

The enormous blood-red pupil slowly turned, focusing on Jiang Fan!

Yes, across an unknown river of time, meeting Jiang Fan’s gaze!

In that instant, Jiang Fan’s mind exploded like ten thousand thunderbolts, his body shook violently, and his soul seemed about to be shattered into a million soul specks.

At the critical moment, a rapid rustling sound emerged from deep within his mind.

The Void Ancient Tree moved.

And it was a motion more intense than ever.

The image collapsed thereafter.

Only then did Jiang Fan awaken from it.

His muscles were still twitching uncontrollably, the pain in his soul retreating rapidly like a tide.

Gone without a trace after three breaths.

Jiang Fan’s face was slightly pale, revealing an expression of horror: ”What was that?”

”That near-death feeling just now, was it all an illusion?”

His Domain was capable of tracing the roots and summarizing the core power of all things.

In other words, what he saw was the truth behind why the nine Divine Trees ended up in their current state.

But this should be from an extremely distant era.

What he saw was merely a scene from the river of history.

That Blood Thunder, able to cross the river of history to lock onto him?

This must have been an illusion, right?

Convinced by this thought, he suddenly felt a burning pain at the back of his head.

Looking back, his pupils contracted.

On the Ancestor Ring that only he could see, there appeared a seal of blood-colored Thunderbolt.

Thin cracks formed around the seal.

His mind went blank.

The feeling just now... actually happened!

That eye, indeed crossed time, injuring him from countless years ago!

What on earth was that?

Moreover, the reason the Void Ancient Tree was left with only a seed, and the Undying Divine Tree with just a leaf.

Was it because of this Blood Pool?

Could the land fragments locked by the nine Divine Trees be the former Daqian Divine Kingdom?

Could it be that the Daqian Divine Kingdom was destroyed by that Blood Pool?

Such questions quickly flashed through his mind.

Feeling the remnants of various auras, his gaze flickered, activating the Fifth Domain again.

Once more, the image gathered in his mind.

He dared not delve deeper, just skimmed over it, and with the image fade, fragmented words emerged in his mind.

But the words were too fragmented to form a complete composition.

Not even a few coherent sentences were there.

Jiang Fan was speechless.

No wonder Widow Wolf Sage generously shared it with everyone for comprehension.

It turns out that the Taoist intentions within these walls, despite appearing profound, were actually incomplete, yielding little benefit.

However, for Jiang Fan, that might not be the case.

Because the Fifth Domain could bring forth the core essence from fragmented texts.

Sure enough, not long after, a text appeared in his mind.

”’Taiqing Hao Ran Technique Imitation Edition.’

”Heaven and earth possess righteous energy, magnificent and timeless.”

”Below embraces the spirit of mountains and rivers, above connects with the soul of the sun and moon.”

”On the red-blood path of a devoted heart, a blade rests against the setting sun.”

...

Jiang Fan silently recited it in his heart, and upon finishing, felt clarity on the Divine Platform, with a stream of righteous energy flowing through his chest.

”Is this Confucian Daoist Skill?”

”As an outsider, gaining a body full of righteousness just by first recitation, it’s truly incredible.”

His face brimmed with expressions of joy.

The most profound impression he had of Confucian Daoist Skills was naturally the Great Confucian Sect’s ability to make wishes granted through Vast Energy.

If he could also accumulate a substantial amount of Vast Energy, does it mean he could make wishes to defeat enemies like he once did?

Now, this text is far superior to the Confucian Daoist Skills in Central Earth.

With long-term cultivation, it surely would be extraordinary!

Moreover, it could be passed to the remaining Confucian Cultivator Sect in Hunyuan State of Central Earth.

They have endured the sinking of Hun Yuan land, with the way of Confucianism and Divinity Transformation Realm nearly extinct, doctrines all but severed.

The present text could surely let the way of Confucianism surpass its former days.

Consider it Jiang Fan’s personal compensation to the Confucian practitioners of Hunyuan State.

Truly unexpected, attending a coalition discussion, scoring a supreme Confucian Daoist Skill text.

Though it’s an imitation edition, its power might not match the genuine text found on the walls of the Daqian Divine Kingdom’s Imperial Palace, yet it’s undoubtedly a heaven-shaking, miraculous Taoist Skill.

Finishing the comprehension, he looked towards the others with satisfaction.

To see their progress.

At a glance, something seemed off.

All of them were immersed in the Taoist intentions of the broken walls, apparently still in comprehension.

But upon closer inspection, their expressions didn’t seem right.

Some looked bewildered, some were struggling, and some even showed expressions of pain.

Yet, they did not stop their comprehension either.

This was not right!

It seemed their consciousness was imprisoned by the Taoist intentions within the broken walls, unable to break free.

Recalling what the infant had said, Widow Wolf Sage’s insincerity in asking for help, his face subtly changed.

He glanced sideways and noticed with alarm.

Widow Wolf and the other seven sages had unknowingly spread out, surrounding the sages of the Poisonous World.

A flicker of murder intent in their eyes, as if waiting for an opportunity.

No good!

He suddenly realized, Widow Wolf Sage had sent away the local Great Sage, feigning help, to plot against the Poisonous World!

”You actually woke up?” A voice tinged with surprise and doubt came.

It was Widow Wolf Sage.

He scrutinized Jiang Fan with incredulous eyes.

The Taoist intents within those broken walls were too mysterious, if one’s consciousness entered, it would take considerable time to break free.

Yet, how much time had passed?

The sages of the Poisonous World were still deeply entangled, while Jiang Fan, a mere Divinity Transformation Realm, was the first to awaken.

He didn’t realize, Jiang Fan never truly entered his consciousness within.

It was all due to the Domain’s comprehension.

Fortunately, the opponent was just a Divinity Transformation Realm.

Easy to crush like an ant, without affecting the grand scheme.

Widow Wolf Sage said blandly: ”Originally had no interest in you, but alas, you woke up.”

”So it’s time to send you on your way!”

His gaze turned amiss, containing the tangible power of murky blood energy, piercing through the Void.

As someone who once made it onto the Divine Capital Holy Scroll.

To kill a Divinity Transformation Realm, he needs only a look.
