Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1748: Chapter 1787: Journey to the Heavenly State

These Spirit Rains have the miraculous effect of allowing those in the Nascent Soul realm to break through immediately.

For those in the Divinity Transformation realm, they also have the special effect of healing injuries and enhancing comprehension.

Jiang Fan, forced to leave due to the pursuit of the Asura Saint Heir, had no time to fully embrace this opportunity.

Unexpectedly, Black Dragon Venerable collected so much.

"Take it to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion." Black Dragon Venerable smiled and tossed the Spirit Rain over.

Jiang Fan gratefully received it, "Thank you, Venerable."

After a moment, he recalled something and asked, "Is Black Dragon Venerable’s cave mansion still there?"

Since he came to the Demon Continent, he couldn’t help but inquire about the Throne Treasury of Black Dragon Venerable.

The purple crystal mine within left a deep impression on Jiang Fan.

Not only did he obtain Washing Spirit Liquid, speed-enhancing shoes, and mysterious black wood from there.

More importantly, at the top of the crystal mine, there were many black Mystic Ice Coffins formed by condensed alien power.

These are precious resources that can refine alien power for Ling Shu to use.

Besides, if the eight characters in the recess can be successfully imprinted, they could replicate that tattered cloth piece, collapse the world’s barriers, and reveal a reverse-heaven capability of the void.

Unfortunately, Jinlin Venerable also showed a face of regret and said, "People like him would never leave their cave mansion behind."

"Back then, when he collapsed the world and lured Bingxin Venerable and me to mend the void, he took the opportunity to return and emptied his cave mansion, even taking his confidants with him."

Jiang Fan looked regretful.

That’s truly unfortunate, as he still held the key to that Throne Treasury.

If he got the throne, he could open it directly.

"I wonder where Black Dragon Venerable went," Jiang Fan murmured.

If they encounter this guy again, with the Immortal Fixing Jade Branch or the power of cause and effect obtained from the Hell Realm Master, they could suppress him.

Shaking his head, Jiang Fan checked the time and released Ling Shu.

"I still need to exorcise the souls in various great states."

"Remember to focus on your cultivation and return to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion if you have time," Jiang Fan instructed.

Ling Shu reluctantly let go of Jiang Fan, nodded tearfully, "I will, brother."

Jiang Fan didn’t hesitate any longer and hurried to the next great state with the Great Wine Sacrifice.

Next.

They successively went to the Divine Weapon State, Dan State, Holy Spirit State, and Returning Ruins State.

During this time, everything was peaceful, and there was no trace of the Asura Saint Heir.

Jiang Fan was puzzled, "Could it be that the Asura Saint Heir only went to the Great Wilderness State?"

With this question, they finally arrived at the Great Wilderness State.

The battlefield, destroyed by the blood-colored spear, was still a shocking scorched earth.

Jiang Fan held the "Prison Suppressing Soul Scripture" to exorcise, but no Remnant Soul appeared.

His face darkened slightly, "All the souls in this place have vanished."

At this moment, an intoxicated Great Wine Sacrifice staggered over, reeking of alcohol.

Her steps were unsteady, eyes drifting, and she slurred:

"These souls are not the main point; he also visited another place."

"I just discovered it too, don’t scold me, okay?"

"Sigh~"

She hiccupped, rolled her eyes, and fell asleep right there.

The Great Taicang State’s Great Wine Sacrifice shook his head helplessly, "In the end, unable to take the second step!"

Then he looked into the distance, frowned, "I was careless."

He carried Jiang Fan’s figure, flashing, and soon appeared in front of a huge crater.

This was not formed by war but left when the Silver Apricot Tree rose from the ground.

This place was once the Great Wilderness Forbidden Land.

The Silver Apricot Tree claimed territory, weaving a giant bird’s nest labyrinth across the sky with Mysterious Demon Liquid.

Once a living being fell into it, it was extremely difficult to escape.

But now, all the Mysterious Demon Liquid had disappeared!

Jiang Fan’s face changed, "Could the Asura Saint Heir have taken it all?"

The Silver Apricot Tree once said that this Mysterious Demon Liquid was the shed remnants of the True Demon and nourishment for the True Demon’s reincarnation, helping it awaken into a demon sooner.

When the Silver Apricot Tree planned to leave Central Earth, it wanted to take this huge hidden danger into the void with it.

But plans couldn’t keep up with changes; to save the intoxicated Great Wine Sacrifice, it blocked a strike from the blood-colored spear with its body and was destroyed, leaving only the treetop.

Being so weakened, it couldn’t take the Mysterious Demon Liquid away at all.

This means all that boundless Mysterious Demon Liquid fell into the hands of the Asura Saint Heir.

But what does he intend to do with the Mysterious Demon Liquid?

Jiang Fan felt a vague unease in his heart.

The Great Taicang State’s Great Wine Sacrifice gazed deeply, "No matter what he’s plotting, the ultimate focus is on you."

"As long as you are protected, his plot will be hard to realize."

If the Asura Saint Heir wanted to leave, he could have long ago torn open the void to escape Central Earth; staying until now without leaving, just because of Jiang Fan.

So as long as Jiang Fan is safeguarded, everything will be resolved.

Jiang Fan slightly furrowed his brows.

He felt that the Asura Saint Heir’s scheme might not just be about capturing a Divinity Transformation realm like him.

But for now, he could only take one step at a time.

"Let’s go to the Heavenly State first; the Merit Assembly starts in half a day."

The Great Wine Sacrifice looked at Jiang Fan, straightforwardly saying:

"The Merit this little Spirit Beast carries is bound to attract attention; take precautions early."

Jiang Fan became serious.

The Little Qilin carried the Merit granted by exorcising the souls of six states, and it already had a Merit Divine Pearl, plus Heavenly Realm sent down a piece of Merit feather.

Its current amount of Merit is already comparable to the Merit of Wutong Venerable.

Enough to tempt any Heavenly Human Five Declines Great Venerates.

Familiar Venerates like Jinlin Venerable could be trusted not to have any nefarious intentions due to their camaraderie from fighting side by side.

But the Venerates of the Heavenly State may not have the same scruples.

Especially the Young Emperor, with his domineering nature, knowing of the Little Qilin’s existence would certainly provoke a motive to seize it.

Nevertheless, if Jiang Fan doesn’t go to the Heavenly State, he won’t be able to redeem his accomplishments in the Ancient Giant war.

Gritting his teeth, he said, "Please, Great Wine Sacrifice, take me to the Heavenly State."

Not for Merit, but for Chen Silin, he must go to the Heavenly State.

The Great Wine Sacrifice nodded.

Soon after, they arrived at the Qintian Bureau and activated the state-level teleportation array to the Heavenly State.

Jiang Fan was somewhat expectant in his heart.

The legendary center of the world, a Martial Arts Holy Land as vast as eight states, what kind of scene would it be?

At that moment.

Heavenly State, Qintian Bureau.

The Qintian Bureaus of all states were located at the center of the continent, occupying a Spirit Vein, with no forces daring to approach.

Only the Qintian Bureau of Central State is surrounded by numerous forces and has formed an endless city stretching for ten thousand miles.

Standing at the Qintian Bureau and looking north, there is a Thunder Mountain suspended amidst the celestial sphere.

Looking south, a bright and pristine moon hangs high in the sky.

To the east, vast golden temples stretch to the horizon, resembling a Buddha Country.

To the west, ancient and charming Divine Sect great teachings stand one after another.

Within a ten-thousand-mile radius of the Qintian Bureau alone, countless powerful beings gather, and the Central State’s domain is teeming with sects and factions like fish passing through water.

At that moment.

In a palace beneath the Qintian Bureau, the strong ones from Taicang State gathered there.

However, they were not welcome in the Heavenly State.
