Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1893: Chapter 1936: Little Qilin’s Great Contribution

Hmm?

Whose line is this that’s so familiar that it needs no introduction?

Jiang Fan chuckled angrily, "Wang Chongxiao, oh Wang Chongxiao, how did you manage to take my treasure again?"

Just after the Immortal King’s Undying Bell was broken, he encountered Wang Chongxiao in the boundless void.

This is what is called fate, what is called destiny.

He silently groped forward, just as the inscription on the stone door said, this place truly was a prison.

On both sides of the long dark corridor were huge individual cells, each carved with mysterious array runes.

The array runes of the vast majority of cells had failed, having been breached and searched.

Only a few cells still had functioning array runes, forming indestructible arrays.

When Jiang Fan passed by one array, he was shocked to find a well-preserved corpse inside, likely a former prisoner.

Enduring for millennia, the cultivation of this prisoner in life was beyond doubt.

At the very least, they were at the Sage Realm!

"A Sage’s body is a treasure, Qiqi loves these, selling it to her would surely be profitable."

"It’s just a pity the array is too powerful."

Jiang Fan looked regretful.

The stone walls of the cells were made of the same indestructible mysterious black material as the exterior, with the only difference being that the cell doors were arrays.

It shows that the defense of the arrays is much higher than that of the stone walls.

The Sumeru Divine Prison has existed for such a long time, with numerous people exploring it, yet none have been able to open the arrays, highlighting their power.

However, just as he was about to give up, he suddenly had a thought.

Wait a minute! Arrays?

Can’t the Little Qilin pass through arrays freely?

And the Little Qilin likely escaped from the Sumeru Divine Prison!

The cell that held it must have had an array, and since the Little Qilin could escape, it definitely means it can traverse the arrays here.

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan directed his consciousness towards the Space Mirror.

Ever since he acquired the Merit Divine Pearl, formed from nine of his merit feathers, it had fallen into a deep sleep.

At this moment, it was lying on its back with its white belly exposed, snoring softly.

Hua Xin was contentedly stroking its reddish-brown fur.

This ghostly lady made quite the gain, petting the Little Qilin for half a month.

Jiang Fan focused his thoughts and rescued the Little Qilin from Hua Xin’s grasp, bringing it to the outside world. He gently tapped its belly and said, "Wake up, you’re experiencing sleep paralysis."

The Little Qilin remained motionless.

But when Jiang Fan took out a dog leash and dangled it around its neck, the Little Qilin reflexively opened its eyes.

Then, with a start, it jumped up, staring intently at the leash and retreating continuously, growling lowly, with all its brown hair standing on end.

Jiang Fan looked at the leash with a collar and said in surprise, "Is this really what’s tethering you?"

Seeing Jiang Fan, the Little Qilin calmed down, but still looked fearfully at the leash, complaining:

"Master, you scared me!"

Jiang Fan said, "Look around, does it seem familiar to you?"

The Little Qilin then opened its bright eyes and glanced around. After just one look, it quickly jumped back into Jiang Fan’s arms, burrowed into his clothes, only sticking out a small head:

"Master, why are you here? Leave quickly, this place is very dangerous, there’s a very ferocious presence patrolling!"

It made a monster face by pulling its two little paws across its cheeks.

Jiang Fan’s expression grew serious.

The Little Qilin had accompanied him for so long, seeing many fierce creatures, but what kind of existence could still make it feel extremely dangerous?

However, with Wang Chongxiao scouting ahead, it’s currently safe.

He pointed at the leash and said, "Was this what was wrapped around you back then?"

The Little Qilin waved its little paw at the leash: "Yes, and I don’t know who put it on me."

"When I woke up, I found myself tethered by it."

Jiang Fan felt a bit puzzled.

This Sumeru Divine Prison had been abandoned for millennia, so could it be that the Little Qilin had been asleep for millennia before waking up?

Looking at this fluffy, soft, adorable Little Spirit Beast, Jiang Fan felt a moment of unreality.

Is this creature a millennium-old being?

Impossible, right?

It must have been confined here only a few years ago, right?

Alright, let’s not worry about this for now.

Jiang Fan pointed at the body inside and said, "Bring that corpse out."

After saying that, he handed the Little Qilin a small pouch.

With a glance, the Little Qilin said, "Alrighty."

Clutching the small pouch, it leaped towards the array and indeed passed through without any hindrance!

Shortly after.

The Little Qilin returned with a bulging pouch in its mouth. Jiang Fan took it joyfully, and upon inspection, it was a lifelike female body!

Young and beautiful, exuding the aura of the Virtuous Realm.

Indeed, it was undoubtedly a Sage-level female corpse.

Unfortunately, as a prisoner, she had nothing on her except for the almost rotting prison garments.

"Take it away!"

Jiang Fan put away the pouch, held the Little Qilin, and continued forward. Each time they passed a cell with an array, he had the Little Qilin go in and drag out the corpses.

In this manner, by the time Jiang Fan sensed that he was close to Wang Chongxiao and the others, he had gathered ten complete Sage-level prisoner corpses.

Having those corpses meant this trip was not in vain.

He gave the Little Qilin a bottle of Spirit Pill and sent it back to the Space Mirror, then quietly moved forward.

The narrow corridor suddenly widened.

The left side was no longer cells, but a large square, seemingly a place for the prisoners to shelter from the wind.

In the square, there was a massive abyss leading further down, which once seemed to be protected by an incredibly powerful array, now damaged.

Waves of fierce energy emanated from within.

Wang Chongxiao and several beings of different races were standing by the abyss.

Among them were members of the Asura Clan, the Human Clan, the Demon Race, and some beings of unidentifiable races according to Jiang Fan.

All of them were of Great Venerable Level cultivation.

Precisely the kind of individuals Wang Chongxiao could control with decent strength.

"This guy, last time I stripped him bare, yet so soon he managed to mingle among these alien powerhouses looking all refined."

Jiang Fan couldn’t help but admire this guy; he could fit in anywhere.

Wang Chongxiao said, "As far as I know, the Sumeru Divine Prison is divided into upper, middle, and lower layers."

"We’re in the upper layer, which has three thousand cells, all containing Sage-level prisoners."

Jiang Fan looked across the square and only then noticed it too was filled with dense cells, ten layers high, each with hundreds of cells.

Wang Chongxiao continued, "And the middle layer, which contains Saint Realm prisoners, only has eighteen cells."

Jiang Fan’s pupils contracted; there are even Saint Realm prisoners?

What was the origin of the Sumeru Divine Prison? And who could imprison Saint Realm beings?

At this moment, a girl dressed in a white gown, with colorful antennae on her head and pink wings on her back, charmingly asked:

"What about the third layer?"

With a solemn expression, Wang Chongxiao replied, "The Third Layer..."

"Only has one."

"It’s said to imprison an unknown...entity."
