Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1594: Chapter 1632: I Will Undergo Divinity Transformation

Jiang Fan had a bad premonition in his heart and asked in return:

"Does the predecessor need time for possession?"

The Remnant Soul of Red Demon Venerable said: "Possession doesn’t require time, but restoring the soul to its peak takes a year."

A year?

The joy in Jiang Fan’s heart was swept away, plunging deeply once more.

He gave a bitter smile and said, "I was too presumptuous."

If the remnant soul of a sage was so easy to restore, there wouldn’t have been so many sages fallen a thousand years ago.

They could have fully restored their souls immediately and continued the battle.

After all, Laws Wine is not a product of this era alone.

The era a thousand years ago was even more prosperous.

The Remnant Soul of Red Demon Venerable said: "Are you now encountering the plight of Heavenly Human Five Declines?"

Jiang Fan nodded and briefly described the situation of the battle.

The Remnant Soul of Red Demon Venerable said no more and directly merged into the Confucian body.

Shortly after.

This corpse that had been asleep for a thousand years slowly opened its eyes.

She stood up, and gradually a divine ring condensed at the back of her head, with three flame seals on it.

Just as she predicted, there were only Heavenly Human Three Declines.

Moreover, the realm was not stable.

She was a demonic soul in a Confucian body, the two were conflicting, making it hard for her to adapt to the body.

Sometimes demonic qi would surge out, and sometimes vast energy would churn.

Thus, the divine ring was flickering.

"Let’s go, even if I lose, I can still clear two Giant Kings for you."

Looking at her unstable cultivation, Jiang Fan recalled the remnant soul of Red Demon Venerable once said.

Wu Gou was a Confucian soul in a demonic body, naturally conflicting, making it hard to fully control the body.

It needed the most treasured item of the Twin Sages in the past, the Nine Phoenix Chao Dao hairpin, to balance the Confucian and demonic paths.

Thinking of this, he took out half of the Nine Phoenix Chao Dao hairpin and said:

"This should return to its original owner."

He was filled with emotion, with some reluctance in his heart.

This item had accompanied him all the way from the Continent to today as a magic artifact, but unfortunately, it was only half, and its power was limited.

It had long been useless.

Better to return it to Red Demon Venerable, and perhaps reuniting the two pieces might unleash greater power.

Upon seeing this item, Gu Xin’er’s eyes widened like two walnuts, so shocked that she could hardly speak:

"Master, am I seeing it wrong? Is this the other half of the Nine Phoenix Chao Dao hairpin you’ve been searching for hundreds of years?"

"It has always been in Jiang Fan’s hands?"

At this moment, even Red Demon Venerable’s eyes were wide with disbelief:

"It... it was with you?"

Her hairpin was broken by the Giant Emperor and went missing back then.

To search all states for it, she had Gu Xin’er find top-grade crystal stones to accumulate the funds needed to use state-level teleportation arrays.

But who would have thought, after a thousand searches, it turned out to be in Jiang Fan’s place!

For a moment, she didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

Jiang Fan said, "I discovered it in the predecessor’s clothing tomb."

"It was alongside a dress as well."

He also took out the blood-stained dress that had become sentient and could absorb blood, handing it over along with the Nine Phoenix Chao Dao hairpin.

Red Demon Venerable gazed at the familiar blood dress, with a glint in her eyes, and said:

"So, people of later generations even erected a clothing tomb for me."

She took the two items, and solemnly said, "Then I must fight once more for the people of this era."

"Once I reforged the two pieces of the Nine Phoenix Chao Dao hairpin, in its prime, it was a quasi-realm artifact."

"With this, I can battle Heavenly Human Four Declines."

Jiang Fan saw a glimmer of light.

Though it was still no match for the Black Sun King, there was no Heavenly Human Four Declines in the giant army of the lower realm.

Since they couldn’t resist two Five-Star Giant Kings, then they would kill their giant army!

If they wanted to devour the Taicang State, they would have to pay a price!

"Predecessor, please proceed, seek me once ready."

Reuniting the Nine Phoenix Chao Dao hairpin also needed a bit of time.

Taking advantage of this time, Jiang Fan wanted to see the people of Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

As it might be the last meeting.

However, he didn’t need to find everyone.

When leaving Gu Xin’er’s secret chamber, it was already crowded outside.

Everyone from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion had come.

Fairy Yun Shang, with her celestial air, approached him, not inquiring about the battle up ahead, but instead, she looked at his bloodshot eyes and silently embraced him.

Liu Qingxian also came over, and the always heroic and valiant she, uncharacteristically gently said:

"Tired?"

Jiang Fan gave a silent smile, quietly embraced her too, savoring a moment of warmth.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and said:

"Everyone, perhaps our Taicang State can’t hold on anymore."

He explained the battle situation upfront.

There were not many expressions on their faces; having gone through the first wave of life-and-death battles, they had already looked past life and death.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master sighed slightly, "In the end, we still can’t get through this catastrophe?"

He gazed at Jiang Fan, regretful, "We’re dying, but it’s a pity for you to fall as well."

"With a bit more time, you could succeed in Divinity Transformation."

Jiang Fan, a dragon among men, would have a different situation if he was born in the previous era.

Jiang Fan gave a bitter smile, "Divinity Transformation, how easy is it to talk about?"

Suddenly, something hit Jiang Fan!

Having lost all hope, a spark ignited in his eyes.

He suddenly remembered, if he could achieve Divinity Transformation, he could pluck something from the Void Ancient Tree!

A world artifact — Tai Chu Prison Sky Gourd!

The Lecherous Sage, by self-destructing the Jade Paper Heavenly Book, managed to kill a Giant Emperor.

If the Tai Chu Prison Sky Gourd were detonated, surely it could take down a mere Five-Star Giant King, right?

Moreover, according to previous experiences, items from the Void Ancient Tree were always stronger than those of the same tier in the outside world.

As a world artifact, the Tai Chu Prison Sky Gourd should be stronger than the Jade Paper Heavenly Book.

Perhaps it wouldn’t need to be detonated to slay a Five-Star Giant King!

With that thought, his eyes shone with determination.

Given it’s doom either way, why not attempt to reach the Divinity Transformation realm?

If it succeeds, there is a chance to turn the tide.

If it fails, then he would forever succumb to madness, perishing with Taicang State!

He lowered his head, kissed Fairy Yun Shang and Liu Qingxian on their foreheads.

Then, with a look of farewell, he scanned everyone, imprinting their faces deeply in his heart.

Xia Chaoge felt something, anxiously clutching her chest, said:

"Uncle Master, what are you planning to do?"

She sensed a farewell in Jiang Fan’s gaze.

Jiang Fan let go of the two women, looked at everyone, took a deep breath, and said:

"I am going to strive for Divinity Transformation!"

What?

A stone stirred thousands of waves.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master was shocked: "Divinity Transformation at this time?"

Fairy Yun Shang’s delicate face changed slightly, saying, "Jiang, are you... ready?"

Jiang Fan still had regrets unfinished, making it impossible to enter the path.

This attempt might get stuck at the Nine Aperture Nascent Soul Realm, unable to wake again.

Liu Qingxian’s heart tightened, biting her lips, "Fan, don’t go, I’d rather fight with you and die than see you forever mad."

Even the Fire Worship Sect Leader straightforwardly said:

"Jiang Dao You, there is no trickle path in reaching Divinity Transformation."

"Only when the way is perfected can become Divinity Transformation, if lacking, forever fall into madness."

"Which of those Nine Aperture Nascent Soul elders of each sect was not a brilliant talent? Which did not hone their way to the utmost?"

"But a slight shortfall remains a gap, an insurmountable hurdle."

"If your way isn’t full, do not attempt, or a bottomless abyss awaits you."

The warning, profound and thought-provoking, instilled awe in Jiang Fan.

The path to Divinity Transformation, those with fluke minds all ended the same.

And he, still carried a significant regret unfinished, his way immensely lacking.

Forcing Divinity Transformation, the only outcome would be madness.

But, he had no choice!

Only try desperately once!

"Vice Pavilion Master Jiang, we have a gift for you."

At this moment.

Shang Shiqiu and Leng Qingzhu stepped forth from the crowd.
