Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1653: Chapter 1691: When Domains Fall Short, Spiritual Artifacts Fill the Gap

Although Heaven Level techniques vary in difficulty, no matter how hard they are, he doesn’t find it challenging to grasp them.

Yet, this invisibility technique before him, he can’t comprehend it at all.

It’s as if an invisible barrier is keeping him out.

"I don’t believe this!"

Unwilling to accept it, he closes his eyes and attempts to comprehend it again.

A cup of tea later.

He opens his eyes again, full of astonishment: "What the hell! What’s wrong with this technique?"

"Why can’t I comprehend it at all?"

"Is its threshold really that high? But how did that person cultivate it?"

With a sense of defiance, he tries to comprehend it several more times, but the result is still the same.

Realizing he truly can’t cultivate it, Jiang Yitian finally becomes aware that he’s jumped into a pitfall!

A book of incomprehensible invisibility technique has schemed away his "Poison Origin Scripture."

"Idiot!" Jiang Yitian angrily pounds his thigh.

However, when he thinks of the pitfall left by the "Poison Origin Scripture," his breath gradually calms down.

"Humph, I may not have mastered the invisibility technique, but you shouldn’t think you’ll gain any advantage!"

In a certain dense forest.

Jiang Fan is in an invisibility state, silently contemplating the contents of the "Poison Origin Scripture."

After a while, he slightly opens his eyes, full of amazement.

"Indeed it’s a Heaven Level technique, vastly different from the ’Nine Poison True Scripture’ I cultivated before."

"The latter merely forms a poison pill in the body, and if an excess of venom is absorbed, it can even burst the poison pill."

"The ’Poison Origin Scripture,’ however, is fantastical, drawing from the rebirth abilities of Ancient Giants through their blood, using one’s own flesh to nurture a new self, then tempering this clone with poison, cultivating it into a poison body."

"Once the poison body achieves great success, since it is also part of one’s flesh, the soul can switch between the original body and the poison body, circumventing the rules of possession."

"This avoids the possibility of concentrated poison threatening the main body’s life."

"Moreover, according to the ’Poison Origin Scripture,’ the poison body can be cultivated to the Heavenly Person Five Declines level."

Jiang Fan clicks his tongue in wonder.

Thinking of the Twin Sages and Young Master Xiang’s emperor bodies.

They seem to also possess similar dual bodies.

Perhaps, he can also embark on the path of creating a poison body in the future.

However, after looking at the materials required for crafting the poison body, Jiang Fan feels bewildered.

"Requires three Ancient Dark Creatures, a complete Sun Wheel of Emperor Level."

"Requires a Merit Divine Stele from the Human Clan to suppress the Curse Power of the Sun Wheel."

"Requires a complete Saint Crystal to prevent contamination into Ancient Dark Creatures."

"And Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures such as..."

Jiang Fan shakes his head, choosing not to look at the requirements for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Just the above three items require Sage Level strength to obtain, right?

If he had that kind of power, why would he even bother with crafting a poison body?

Disregarding the poison technique part, he directly contemplates the contents of poison refining, of which there’s a poison liquid specifically targeting Ancient Blood Demons.

Jiang Yitian had used it previously.

It’s called "Soul Melting Poison Water," belonging to the six Gu level of toxins.

Just like Spirit Pills, poisons also have grades.

Based on toxicity, from one Gu to nine Gu.

The toxins Jiang Yitian used to kill the Giant Demon King before were all of the five Gu level, which easily kills a One-star or Two-star Blood Demon King.

But attempting to kill above Three-star becomes difficult.

Jiang Fan looks puzzled: "If Jiang Yitian has this poison scripture, why did he only refine the Soul Melting Poison Water to five Gu rather than six Gu?"

Carrying this doubt, he follows the poison recipe and takes out the corresponding materials.

Previously, he’d gathered plenty of Spiritual Objects both at the Heavenly Mountain Battlefield and the Heavenly Realm, managing to scrape together enough materials.

Then, following the poison refining procedure described in the poison recipe, he processes each material step by step, extracting the toxins.

Subsequently, different toxins are fused either two or three together, followed by heating, cooling, smelting, and other tedious steps.

For the average person, they might have already given up due to impatience or made mistakes.

But for a Soul Master, the process of poison refining is much easier compared to alchemy.

Half a cup of tea later.

Ten small Jade Bottles are placed in front of him, all filled with sticky black Soul Melting Poison Water.

Jiang Fan’s eyebrows raised high: "Black color but no shine; according to the poison scripture, these are only of Three Gu level."

"It’s quite doubtful they’d be able to poison Nascent Soul Realm’s Ancient Dark Creatures!"

"What’s going on? I refined it completely by the poison scripture, why is the result not six Gu but far lower at three Gu?"

"Where did I go wrong?"

He faintly feels this is the pitfall Jiang Yitian left.

Though, why it would be so remains somewhat unclear to him.

After pondering for a moment, he sighs: "Nevermind, successfully refining the Soul Melting Poison Water is enough."

"As for the insufficient toxicity, I just have to put in some more effort."

He takes out the Mountain River Tripod and pours all ten bottles of Soul Melting Poison Water into it.

"A single bottle’s toxicity is only Three Gu; concentrated to the extreme with ten bottles, the toxicity should surely improve?"

As he begins to operate the Mountain River Tripod, the Soul Melting Poison Water boils as if boiling and continually condenses.

When there’s no more change, the contents of the ten bottles of Soul Melting Poison Water reduce to half a bottle!

A full twenty-fold condensation!

The Soul Melting Poison Water turns glossy black, viscous, and smooth; even targeted specifically against the Ancient Blood Demon, Jiang Fan senses a faint danger.

If this poison water were to spill onto a person, it would likely cause significant harm.

Just not as evident against Ancient Blood Demons.

Like the poison of a Shadow Black Snake from the Central Earth Realm.

Jiang Fan compares the poison scripture as he examines it, with a slight brightness in his eyes: "Six Gu level, finally reaching the standard described in the poison scripture."

He faintly understands what kind of pitfall Jiang Yitian had set.

Following the poison scripture method only manages to concoct Three Gu Soul Melting Poison Water, while Jiang Yitian has certain methods to increase the toxicity to Five Gu level.

Most likely it’s his Path of God Transformation.

Although Jiang Fan doesn’t possess this path, he has the Mountain River Tripod.

When the domain is insufficient, a Spiritual Artifact compensates.

The problem can similarly be resolved, moreover surpassing Jiang Yitian’s Path of God Transformation.

"Haha, thank you, Brother Jiang, for the generous gift."

Jiang Fan reveals a smile; if he were to present the newly refined Six Gu Soul Melting Poison Water in front of him, wouldn’t this poison prodigy start questioning his life?

"Ah, brother, you seem so happy."

Suddenly, a sweet childish voice comes down from above.

Jiang Fan’s hair stands on end.

Looking up, a cute and sweet six-year-old girl in a black pleated skirt, sporting a red headband, is lying on a cloud.

Her two tiny hands supporting her chin, her little feet swinging crossed.

Two big black eyes like grapes stare unblinkingly at Jiang Fan below.

Oh no!

Jiang Fan nearly loses his soul!

Qiqi from the Sin Realm?

He hastily packs up the Mountain River Tripod and Soul Melting Poison Water, then quietly moves away.

Qiqi seems to see through everything, her eyes follow Jiang Fan’s steps as he moves.

"Brother, are you playing hide and seek with Qiqi?"

The No-Self Dust-Cleansing Technique is useless against her!
