Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1257: Chapter 1262: Merit Divine Pearl

"I’ve heard that the world has reincarnation."

"So deeply in love, perhaps they have long renewed their past bonds, heading to a distant utopia."

"I shall go to see, if they are there, then I will stay with them."

"If not, then I will wait for their return."

Jiang Fan remained silent.

Without a goal, life becomes meaningless.

The Silver Apricot Tree waited for five hundred years for Lu Jiulin’s promise after its master’s departure.

Now, with a new goal, how could Jiang Fan stop it?

He raised a slight smile and asked, "Do you know where the distant utopia is?"

The Silver Apricot Tree replied, "I only know it’s in a very faraway place."

Jiang Fan asked again, "Is there a way to leave the Central Earth Realm?"

Only a sage can tear through a realm.

The Silver Apricot Tree pondered and said, "Don’t worry, the Central Earth Realm is not impenetrable."

"Cracks appear at specific times, and I will act accordingly."

Jiang Fan recalled the Heavenly Ascending Ancient Road tearing through the void and remembered the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis tearing through the Central Earth Realm’s barrier, threatening him from afar.

With the arrival of the Ancient Giant, the world is in chaos, and cracks will appear more frequently than usual.

Jiang Fan looked at the Silver Apricot Tree’s mostly severed roots and its half-cut crown.

After a brief thought, he took out a small pouch.

Inside was the Breath Soil.

Currently, a Fixed Seed was buried in the Breath Soil, and its sprout had grown significantly taller and had acquired a blue halo over time.

He moved it aside and took out half of the Breath Soil, handing it to the Silver Apricot Tree.

"This soil should be useful to you, take it."

The Silver Apricot Tree looked closely and exclaimed, "Breath Soil from the Heavenly Realm?"

"You have such a thing?"

"This was a Divine Object exclusively owned by the Imperial Family when the Angel Race ruled the Heavenly Realm!"

"For our plant race, it has the ability to transform decay into a miracle."

"My master once wanted to find a piece for me, to help me evolve into a Divine Tree, but unfortunately, it was extremely scarce in the Heavenly Realm, impossible to acquire."

"You... you actually have so much?"

Oh?

The Breath Soil can allow an ordinary tree to evolve into a Divine Tree?

Does this mean the Fixed Seed, staying long in the Breath Soil, will also evolve?

He felt a surge of anticipation, curious to see what the Fixed Seed would grow into once it became a Divine Tree.

"Gifted to you, take it."

Jiang Fan handed over the Breath Soil.

The Silver Apricot Tree extended its roots but withdrew them, saying, "I cannot accept it, it’s too precious!"

Jiang Fan looked at the old remains of Venerate Wutong and said, "If they have renewed their past bonds in the distant utopia, this bit of Breath Soil can be my blessing to them."

Upon hearing this, the Silver Apricot Tree could no longer refuse.

With a choked voice, it said, "Thank you, thank you..."

Jiang Fan not only brought news of Lu Jiulin but also sacrificed the Great Sage’s Law to protect his master’s remains.

Now he was giving the precious Breath Soil to it.

After a moment of silence, a Pill Pearl floated in the Silver Apricot Tree’s eyes.

Soon, a small, red pearl emitting a holy soft light dropped out.

The Silver Apricot Tree held it with its roots and handed it to Jiang Fan.

"What is this?" Jiang Fan asked, looking at the small red pearl.

The soft light it emitted made him feel comfortable in both body and mind.

"The merit of my master."

"Some people also call it the Merit Divine Pearl."

Ah?

Jiang Fan was surprised, "Why are you giving it to me?"

Just earlier, the Silver Apricot Tree had explicitly stated that it would not give away its master’s merit to anyone!

The Silver Apricot Tree said, "Keep it."

"If someday you reach the stage of the Heavenly Human Five Declines, then use it, perhaps it could help you ascend to Sageship."

"Or, if you find a Heavenly Person Five Decays Supreme worthy of assistance, give him the Merit Divine Pearl."

"Consider it a legacy my master leaves for the Central Earth."

Upon hearing the first part, Jiang Fan was unmoved.

He didn’t even dare to guarantee he could undergo Divinity Transformation in this life, let alone the Heavenly Human Five Declines.

Hearing the latter part, he pondered for a moment and accepted the Merit Divine Pearl.

"Alright, I will pick a trustworthy Human Supreme."

The Silver Apricot Tree smiled and finally accepted the Breath Soil.

With this matter settled, Jiang Fan had to go see the Asura Clan to plan for Taicang State.

He took a deep breath, with a face of reluctance, said, "Brother Tree, then I take my leave."

The Silver Apricot Tree said, "Take care."

"Oh, I still don’t know your name."

"Jiang Fan."

"Oh, Brother Jiang, may we meet again by fate."

Jiang Fan nodded, following the mysterious path left by the six Demon Venerables, moving far away.

The Silver Apricot Tree suddenly realized something and said, "Brother Jiang, wait a moment."

It thought for a moment.

Dozens of Mysterious Demon Liquid gathered into a water tank-sized sphere.

"I sensed you have some Mysterious Demon Liquid, you must have been using it as a weapon against enemies, right?"

"Then I’ll gift you another batch."

"With my seal in you, you can manipulate the Mysterious Demon Liquid like me."

"This water tank will be enough for you to use."

Jiang Fan was overjoyed; the amount of Mysterious Demon Liquid he had in his Jade Box was now a hundred times more!

If used properly, the effect would be astounding!

"Thank you, Brother Tree!" Jiang Fan quickly took out a Space Storage Device and stored it away.

In a passing thought, looking at the countless Mysterious Demon Liquid, he couldn’t help but be tempted.

The Silver Apricot Tree was about to head out to the outside world, these Mysterious Demon Liquids should be of no use to it.

Why not give them all to him?

The Silver Apricot Tree seemed to understand what he was thinking, its eyes slightly serious:

"Carrying too much Mysterious Demon Liquid will bring upon you a great cause and effect."

Jiang Fan was taken aback: "What do you mean by that?"

The Silver Apricot Tree said, "Do you know where the Mysterious Demon Liquid came from?"

Jiang Fan had no idea where to learn about its origins; he hadn’t had the Mysterious Demon Liquid for long.

However, the Silver Apricot Tree revealed a secret that made Jiang Fan’s pupils contract sharply.

"The Mysterious Demon Liquid is the remnant shed of the first generation True Demon of Destruction!"

"The Mysterious Demon Liquid in this place has existed since the establishment of the Central Earth Realm!"

"It contains immense demonic qi, once polluting the entire Great Wilderness State, making demon cultivation flourish there."

Jiang Fan suddenly understood.

No wonder only Great Wilderness State had demon cultivators while Taicang State and the other states did not.

It was all due to historical reasons.

And the source was the Mysterious Demon Liquid in the Great Wilderness Forbidden Land.

He immediately furrowed his brows, "What does this have to do with cause and effect?"

The Silver Apricot Tree said sternly, "The Mysterious Demon Liquid is the unique nourishment for the reincarnations of True Demons, speeding up their growth into True Demons."

"If all the Mysterious Demon Liquid here were given to you, sooner or later the reincarnated True Demon of Destruction would find you, bringing you an unimaginable catastrophe."

"Even the amount you currently have is already quite dangerous."

"I can’t let you carry any more with you."

"When I leave the Central Earth Realm, I will take this area of Mysterious Demon Liquid with me."

"Clearing a hidden danger for the Central Earth."𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Jiang Fan was shaken.

The Mysterious Demon Liquid had such use?

He immediately extinguished the thought of acquiring more Mysterious Demon Liquid.

For, the present reincarnated True Demon was right by his side!
