Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1755: Chapter 1794: Three Blessings from the Virtuous Sage

Yue Mingzhu felt a pang of apprehension in her heart and hurriedly tried to cover it up, saying, "Senior, I’m just casually cultivating, it’s nothing."

At that moment, Jiang Fan’s large hand gently pressed down on her shoulder, and a sigh was heard:

"Let me take a look for you. The ’Emperor’s Gaze Technique’ you’re cultivating has flaws; it’s best to resolve them soon."

Yue Mingzhu’s gaze faltered: "You... you found out?"

Jiang Fan said, "Last time passing through the Heavenly Realm, it was you who transferred part of Wang Chongxiao’s fortune to me, wasn’t it?"

He managed to survive twice against overwhelming odds, his luck defying the heavens.

It was hard not to make the connection to Wang Chongxiao.

Moreover, long ago, Yue Mingzhu suddenly gained the ability to discern the depth of fortune.

So how could Jiang Fan fail to figure it out?

The ’Emperor’s Gaze Technique’ she secretly learned from the Linlang Hunting was indeed very picky.

Only those recognized by Heaven and Earth’s Spirit are qualified to cultivate it.

Someone like Jiang Fan, with extraordinary comprehension, found the technique’s words blurred when he forcefully tried to comprehend it, giving him not a single chance.

Others at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion couldn’t earn its recognition either.

Only Yue Mingzhu was the one recognized by Heaven and Earth’s Spirit.

However, this technique has a significant flaw.

The method forcibly seizes others’ fortunes, which disrupts the balance of the heavens, causing backlash after breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

In the past, while still in the Core Formation Realm, who dared to even dream of Divinity Transformation?

But now, they truly must consider it.

Yue Mingzhu sighed: "I couldn’t hide it from you; initially, I wanted to surprise you, but later I feared you’d worry."

Nobody expected that their Martial Path would reach ever-greater heights, now nearing Divinity Transformation.

Jiang Fan held her shoulder and said, "If there’s difficulty, let’s find a solution together."

"Senior, she cultivates a technique from the Heavenly Court called ’Emperor’s Gaze Technique.’ Do you know about it?"

The old man’s gaze was solemn: "It’s a highly regarded secret technique of the Heavenly Realm; I didn’t expect someone in Central Earth to cultivate it."

The Heavenly Realm?

Jiang Fan silently noted it down.

"This technique has a flaw causing backlash after reaching the Divinity Transformation Realm; can it be resolved with a Spirit Pill?"

The old man shook his head without hesitation: "To resolve the knot, the one who tied it must untie it; since the backlash arises from seizing others’ fortunes, naturally it must be resolved through fortune."

"How could an ordinary Spirit Pill resolve this?"

Upon hearing that even the mightiest Soul Master of Central Earth was helpless, Jiang Fan’s brows furrowed as he said, "In that case, I need to make a trip to the Heavenly Realm."

"Since they practice this technique, they must have a method to avoid its backlash."

The old man showed an apologetic expression.

Though he discovered Yue Mingzhu’s problem, he was powerless to help.

He immediately took out a jade bottle containing three Spirit Pills with seven streaks on them, clearly Seventh Grade Great Pills!

"You have a connection with my Medicine God Hall; I can’t just watch you suffer from the backlash."

"These are Seventh Grade Great Pills that extend life; each one increases lifespan by a hundred years."

"When you encounter the fortune backlash, your life expectancy will easily diminish, similar to the Heavenly Human Five Declines of the Divinity Transformation Realm."

"Take one in times of crisis, and it can temporarily save your life."

Yue Mingzhu expressed gratitude continuously, bowing in respect: "Thank you, senior, for granting the pills."

These aren’t mere Spirit Pills; they are three chances to save a life.

Jiang Fan was also full of gratitude, saying, "Thank you, senior!"

The old man chuckled: "At last, I hear a thank you."

"I’ve paid back the debt of my disciple; I’m leaving now."

"Senior, wait!" Jiang Fan’s eyes turned, suddenly stopping him.

"Senior, since you’re here, why not meet Xingyuan Venerable’s daughter?"

If Forgetful Wild Elder’s self-sacrifice is moving.

Xingyuan Venerable carrying the will of a thousand years of Confucianism predecessors, plunging into Hun Yuan, is even more tragic and commendable.

The old man stopped in his tracks and said, "Is she here too? Let me take a look."

Jiang Fan beckoned, and True Word Venerable immediately arrived through Instantaneous Movement. She respectfully bowed: "True Word greets Wuhen Sage."

After all, having been in Divinity Transformation for a long time, True Word Venerable was well aware of the sages in the Heavenly State and uttered the sage’s dao name.

Wuhen Sage looked on with pity: "Your father’s body is of Divinity Transformation, but his heart surpasses our collective Virtuous Realm. He is the true Great Sage of Central Earth."

True Word Venerable’s eyes welled up, as her father’s sacrifice earned the admiration of the sages of the Heavenly State.

Wuhen Sage took out a bottle containing jade-colored Spiritual Liquid: "This is Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid, capable of breaking through the Heavenly Human Three Declines."

"Only one exists in Central Earth; it’s for you."

True Word Venerable gratefully received it with both hands: "Thank you, Wuhen Sage."

"Cultivate well and strive to become someone like your father," Wuhen Sage advised before saying, "I’m leaving."

"Senior, wait!"

Once again, Jiang Fan stopped him.

Wuhen Sage’s droopy eyelids trembled—would this kid ever finish?

But considering it might be another martyr’s descendant like Yue Mingzhu or True Word Venerable, he steadied himself and said:

"Who else wants to meet the old man?"

Jiang Fan hurriedly called to the palace, saying, "Caiyi, come quickly."

Gong Caiyi nervously hurried over and gently bowed: "Gong Caiyi greets Wuhen Sage."

"Who is this?" Wuhen Sage stroked his beard and asked.

Jiang Fan introduced: "This is my wife, pregnant. Senior, could you possibly..."

Upon hearing this, Wuhen Sage widened his eyes.

He thought he was here to provide care for another martyr’s descendant, while in reality, Jiang Fan dragged out his wife?

He was so angry that his breathing quickened, his beard fluttering in agitation.

Is he trying to fleece me?

Lianjing Venerable cherished this future grandchild immensely and quickly came to supplicate, saying, "Senior Wuhen, this is our Jiang Family’s first child."

"I beg you, senior, for a Spirit Pill that can enhance the fetus’s Spiritual Body, even if the junior owes Medicine God Hall a favor."

Seeing Lianjing Venerable coming to appeal, Wuhen Sage reluctantly produced eighteen jade boxes.

Inside each, a unique collection of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures was stored individually.

"I haven’t concocted such a Spirit Pill, but I do have the ingredients—it’s a Seventh Grade Great Pill named Dragon and Phoenix Divine Gallbladder."

"When taken, the child will be born into the Nascent Soul Realm."

"If the parents’ cultivation is higher, the child’s minimum potential would increase accordingly."

What?

Born into the Nascent Soul Realm?

This is treatment even many sages’ children don’t receive!

Venerable Lianjing’s heart was deeply moved—this was practically tailor-made for Little Jiang Fan, yet she hesitated and said:

"Senior, you’ve only provided materials; we can’t concoct them."

There are barely a handful of people in the world capable of refining Seventh Grade Great Pills.

Where would they find someone to refine it?

Wuhen Sage helplessly replied: "Though this pill is a Seventh Grade Great Pill, its refinement is nearly as intricate as an Eighth-grade Great Pill."

"I’ve tried several times, all in vain, leaving only this set of materials."

"You might as well seek someone else skilled."

Lianjing Venerable sighed slightly; if even Wuhen Sage couldn’t refine it, the mere possession of materials wouldn’t help them.

Just as she was feeling despondent, Jiang Fan beside her rubbed his chin and said:

"A Seventh Grade Great Pill?"

"I haven’t practiced Alchemy in a long time; let me give it a try."
