Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 986: Guest Elder of the New Tianji Pavilion

Chen Jing stared deeply at Nangong Xiaoyun.

Finally, he glared viciously at Jiang Fan and said, "Once you reach Taicang State, do as you see fit!"

"Don’t think you can easily find your footing like on the Continent!"

With that, he flicked his sleeve and walked away into the sky.

Jiang Fan watched him leave and said helplessly:

"Pavilion Master, can your New Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion cover for me?"

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master touched his nose.

"It was fine before."

"Now... it’s probably uncertain."

He took out Bai Yu’s horsetail whisk, troubled, and said, "I spent ten years planning to invite Bai Yu as a Guest Elder for the New Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."

"With him here, since the establishment of New Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, no devils dares to approach."

"But he’s dead now."

Jiang Fan furrowed his brow.

It turns out Bai Yu was the Pavilion Master’s stabilizing pillar.

Setting aside his Five Apertures Nascent Soul strength, his identity as an elder of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple was quite intimidating.

Now that he’s dead, the New Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is facing significant trouble.

"Did you only invite him as the Guest Elder?"

The Pavilion Master sighed, "There was a backup, also an elder of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple, with Six Apertures Nascent Soul."

"Nan Yuanshu, whether in strength or character, is above Bai Yu."

"However, he’s solely focused on the Martial Path and has no time to serve as a Guest Elder."

"If he could be persuaded, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion would have no worries."

A practitioner with Six Apertures Nascent Soul sitting in town would truly fear nothing.

Such strength could not be provoked by anyone in Taicang State except sect leaders of great sects.

Jiang Fan pondered, "How about I go to the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple to meet this elder?"

"I won’t hide it from the Pavilion Master; my Cloud Shadow cultivation has reached perfection. If Nan Yuanshu is indeed a Martial Path enthusiast, it’s hard to imagine he could refuse learning about my Cloud Shadow experience, right?"

Ah?

The Pavilion Master was shocked, "Cloud Shadow perfected?"

"Few in the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple have achieved this! You’ve actually cultivated to this level!"

"Among the Heavenly Thunder Six Parts, Cloud Shadow is the most difficult to comprehend; even Nan Yuanshu hasn’t succeeded."

"If you invite him with that, it will be hard for him to refuse!"

He became excited.

Suddenly, he saw hope.

This kind of martial enthusiast finds wealth and beauty unappealing, yet martial experience is cherished like treasure.

"Then it’s all up to you, Jiang Fan."

"When will you depart? I’ll go with you."

Jiang Fan pondered, "Give me two days; I have some matters to resolve first."

"Also, there are things I need to ask of the Pavilion Master."

He took out an ancient corpse etched with the ’Emperor’s Gaze Technique.’

"This corpse is inscribed with a powerful cultivation technique, but it’s very selective."

"It requires a person favored by the heavens to discern the script on it."

"Pavilion Master, please bring it to the square and summon our Human Clan to observe. Whoever can see it, the technique shall belong to them."

He hoped someone around him could cultivate this technique.

However, it couldn’t be decided by him.

It must choose its own master.

Leaving the Demon Emperor Court ruins.

Jiang Fan found a concubine’s palace that was relatively intact and uninhabited.

He seized the time to enter secluded cultivation.

This journey to Taicang State is fraught with peril, with immediate concerns regarding the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s situation and distant threats like Venerate Xinnie sharp as a blade at heart.

He must quickly enhance his own strength.

In his mind, he started contemplating the ’Soul Cutting Three Forms.’

This Soul Secret Technique originating from the Void Ancient Tree is divided into three layers.

The First Layer suits the Core Formation Realm, and the Second Layer only suits the Nascent Soul Realm.

Now there is finally an opportunity to cultivate the Second Layer.

With contemplation, the content of the Second Layer surfaced.

"Soul Capturing Lock."

"It can imprison a soul not exceeding one level of one’s own Soul Power, preventing it from controlling its physique."

Jiang Fan’s face revealed a look of delight.

The effect is equivalent to making the opponent unable to move!

For strong opponents, life and death occur within breaths; imprisoning the opponent unable to move is enough to kill them several times.

With his current Three Apertures Nascent Soul Soul Power, he could immobilize a Four Apertures Nascent Soul.

An incredibly easy kill!

"Beyond one soul level, the effect gradually weakens until it’s ineffective at imprisoning."

In other words, he could even briefly immobilize a Five Apertures Nascent Soul expert!

Jiang Fan was overjoyed within; products from the Void Ancient Tree are indeed top-notch!

"Moreover, soulless bodies except those under Divinity Transformation can all be imprisoned!"

Upon seeing this, Jiang Fan became thoroughly excited!

The limitations of the Soul-Suppressing Buddha Beads had long become evident.

Beyond Three Apertures Nascent Soul, it loses effect, as was the case with Kui Xing previously, allowing it to escape.

Now with the Soul Capturing Lock, no Soul Body can escape right before him again!

He immediately began cultivating in silence.

At night.

A wisp of subtle fragrant scent drifted gently through the crack of the stone door.

Jiang Fan had just finished his cultivation.

Opening the door, a silhouette in snowy white stood beautifully outside.

The figure was slender, with a face as beautiful as a heavenly fairy and an aura of serene coldness.

Who else could it be but Fairy Yun Shang?

"Am I disturbing Jiang?"

Gazing at the sweat on Jiang Fan’s forehead, Fairy Yun Shang’s eyes held a hint of disappointment, as she softly retreated.

Jiang Fan recalled the storybooks he read as a child.

A scholar saves an injured white fox, and at night, the fox turns into a beautiful maid to repay his kindness.

And now, the fox coming to repay him has arrived.

He pulled Fairy Yun Shang inside, embracing her soft and delicate body, playfully saying:

"Intending to leave before repaying your kindness?"

Fairy Yun Shang blushed slightly, turned her face aside, not daring to meet Jiang Fan’s teasing gaze, and said:

"I’ll start by massaging your shoulders; after cultivating, you must be tired."

Jiang Fan held her as they sat on the stone bed, grasping her cool, soft hands, saying, "No need to hurry."

"Wait until I’m truly tired, and then you can massage."

Fairy Yun Shang was teased until her face turned even redder.

She pursed her red lips slightly, burying her face in Jiang Fan’s chest, too embarrassed to speak.

Was she being too forward by coming like this, appearing insufficiently reserved?

Jiang Fan, however, didn’t let her off, asking, "Yun Shang, when will you repay my kindness?"

"Now, a month, a year, or a lifetime?"

Fairy Yun Shang became serious, raising her face to gaze into Jiang Fan’s eyes, said:

"If I hadn’t met Jiang, Yun Shang would have sat idly in the post-rear palace of the Demon Emperor Court, growing old as my life ended."

"Jiang provided Yun Shang with the chance to surpass the Demon Emperor, delivered the Bodhi Pill, invited the Tao Guardian, and bestowed the Ancestor Returning Pill."

"Jiang treated me so, Yun Shang repays with her remaining life."

"In the years to come, Yun Shang’s eyes and heart will be entirely yours."

Jiang Fan gazed down, filled with passion, and kissed.

Fairy Yun Shang’s breathing quickened, her eyes closed in enjoyment.

Before long.

Dresses fluttered, amidst throbbing sounds, the two became unrestrainedly entangled.

Fairy Yun Shang was very proactive.

She was no longer Concubine Yunxia but solely Jiang Fan’s woman.

She could utterly melt into Jiang Fan’s body.

One two-hour later.

The wind calmed and the rain ceased.

Jiang Fan sat up, refreshed in spirit.

Turning to look at Fairy Yun Shang with sparkling eyes, he smiled, "Rest for a while."

"I’ll cultivate a bit more."

In this world, what strong cultivators exist?

They simply use the time others rest to cultivate.

Fairy Yun Shang sat up, gently leaned against Jiang Fan’s back, whispering softly by his ear:

"Is this it?"

"Jiang, now I am solely your concubine."

The fire in Jiang Fan’s eyes was instantly rekindled.

He turned, drawing her beneath him.
