Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 995: Chapter 995: The Accompanying Runner

He looked into the eyes of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master, initiated the Mute Zen.

”Pavilion Master, is it possible to impersonate a Bodhisattva?”

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master said seriously, ”The words you just spoke, the Heavenly Listening Bodhisattva is already aware of them.”

”I wonder, will there be any consequences.”

Heavenly Listening Bodhisattva?

Jiang Fan felt an impulse to cough up blood; the monks at the White Horse Temple all referred to each other as Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva.

Who would have thought his full name would actually be Heavenly Listening Bodhisattva!

Quite the pitfall.

Thinking it over for a while, he conceded helplessly, ”Never mind.”

”After all, I had already offended the Heavenly Listening Bodhisattva long before.”

”What’s the harm in impersonating one of his decrees?”

Compared to what he did in front of the White Horse Temple, masquerading in his name was already a small matter.

With a lot of lice, you stop worrying.

He had nothing left to fear.

Moreover, three months later the Ancient Giant would descend, then the world would be in chaos, and the Heavenly Listening Bodhisattva wouldn’t have the time to bother with him.

With that thought, Jiang Fan felt relieved.

He followed Master Sanqian towards the inside of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple.

It was said to be inside the Holy Temple.

But, at a glance, an endless and enormous mountain range lay stretched out between heaven and earth, with palaces like smoke, vast and grandiose.

Above the mountains, the Spiritual Energy was so dense it formed a mist, hovering around the range.

Such dense Spiritual Energy, he had only encountered in the underground Zen courtyards in the Nine-Dynasty Ancient Capital.

For the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple, it was everywhere.

”Pavilion Master, how does our new location compare to this?” Jiang Fan was a bit curious about the site selection for the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master said earnestly, ”About the same.”

Hm?

Jiang Fan was surprised, ”Really?”

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master nodded, ”The Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple is a mountain range; we are a mountain.”

”Just missing the word ’range’.”

Jiang Fan’s lips twitched.

Pretty similar, indeed.

Not long after.

They appeared at the beginning of the mountain range, with the Spirit Vein raising its head to the sky, like a dragon head gazing at the heavens, very imposing.

On the dragon head stood four towering palaces.

At this moment, the palaces were rather bustling.𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

It seemed a very grand event was taking place.

”Old Palace Master, you’ve slept for three months straight; are you all right?”

The Master of Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple reverently poured tea for a skinny old man.

His eyelids drooped as if he could fall asleep again at any moment.

But the aura emanating from him was overwhelmingly powerful, about to enter the realm of the Nine Aperture Nascent Soul at any time.

He was the old Palace Master of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple, Cold Sword Master.

Ever since stepping into the Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul realm, he had stepped down from the position of Hall Master.

His path of Divinity Transformation was different from ordinary people’s.

When others go mad, it’s unpredictable; when he goes mad, he scolds himself in the mirror until he faints, then falls asleep.

Considered one of the rare safe madmen, no need to enter the Madhouse.

Now that he’s awake, the Hall Master politely invited him over.

The old Palace Master was one of ten who cultivated the Black Sky Eyes to Perfection, but the others had already entered the Nine Aperture Nascent Soul realm and completely lost their minds.

Only he could guide the disciples.

Now, he’s also close to entering the Nine Aperture Nascent Soul realm.

The Hall Master wanted to have him guide the disciples in Black Sky Eyes once more before he crossed over.

So, he specially invited him over.

”Is this the monthly elder contest?”

Cold Sword Master looked at the elders exchanging pointers in the square.

Some used the Undying Blade, others the Black Sky Eyes, and some even used the Hell Lotus.

Most had Small Success, occasionally two achieved Great Success.

No one had achieved Perfection yet.

Firstly, the Power of thunder and lightning was extremely hard to obtain; secondly, the complete set of the Heavenly Thunder Six Parts, after all, was a Heaven Level Technique, exceptionally difficult to understand.

And the seniors who succeeded in cultivation either stepped into the Eight Orifices or entered the Nine Acupoints, unable to guide.

This left the younger generation to explore on their own, progressing very slowly.

The Hall Master respectfully said, ”Yes, old Palace Master.”

Cold Sword Master slightly nodded his shriveled chin, suddenly his gaze fell on a few elders competing in Cloud Shadow.

A hint of interest appeared on his face.

The Hall Master observed and interpreted his expression.

Cold Sword Master mainly cultivated the Black Sky Eyes, but held great interest in Cloud Shadow, though due to limited energy, he only cultivated to Small Success.

His eyes twinkled as he said, ”Old Palace Master, why not have a friendly match against them in Cloud Shadow?”

Cold Sword Master laughed, ”Some of them have reached Great Success.”

”How can I outrun them? I won’t disgrace myself, I won’t disgrace myself.”

Despite saying so, his interest was evident.

The Hall Master laughed, ”Just for fun, I believe the old Palace Master’s Treasure Saber isn’t old, surely you’ll win.”

Pleasure Cold Sword Master meant he would guide Black Sky Eyes more seriously.

Cold Sword Master pretended to refuse, ”Alright then, I’ll embarrass myself, but it’s about participating!”

The Hall Master looked happy, ”Old Palace Master, please wait a moment, I’ll make arrangements.”

He approached the elders sparring in Cloud Shadow, gathered them, and explained the situation briefly.

The Hall Master said meaningfully, ”The old Palace Master is gracing you with a match.”

”You all know how to perform, right?”

Everyone was nimble-minded.

It was clear this was meant to make Cold Sword Master happy.

During the match, they obviously couldn’t use their true abilities; they had to think of ways for the old Palace Master to win.

”Rest assured, Hall Master, we understand.”

At this moment.

Master Sanqian brought Jiang Fan and the others over.

”Hall Master, Bodhisattva has sent someone over with important news.”

The Hall Master looked solemnly at Jiang Fan, ”What news is this?”

Jiang Fan glanced around the chaotic scene, ”It’s very important, Hall Master should gather all the key disciples to listen together.”

He wanted to use this opportunity to meet Nan Yuanshu.

The Hall Master dared not be negligent.

But he had already arranged a match to please the old Palace Master.

”Would you mind waiting a bit?”

”There’s a Cloud Shadow match; it’ll be over soon, then I’ll gather the key personnel.”

Cloud Shadow, hmm?

Jiang Fan nodded lightly, ”As you please, Hall Master.”

The Hall Master immediately rushed back and respectfully invited Cold Sword Master over.

”Old Palace Master, I’ve informed them; everyone must give their all, put in their utmost effort in the match.”

Cold Sword Master squinted, looking as if he might not bother correcting him.

He didn’t refute it.

Because he was also worried about losing face if truly beaten by a bunch of juniors.

So, he didn’t expose it.

He wanted to win fairly too.

Does everyone understand?”

A dozen elders show understanding expressions.

Clearly, this was a match to please Cold Sword Master.

They knew that they still had to yield during the match.

Cold Sword Master pulled out a Thunder Extension Order, ”This is the Black Sky Eyes at Perfection; only the Pavilion Master got this remnant scroll!”

”If you win, this will be yours, and you are allowed to cultivate this technique.”

”Therefore, you must give your all.”

Over a dozen elders looked at the opportunity with red eyes; even Jiang Fan on the side was envious; this was something even the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master only had a fragment of, the Black Sky Eyes!

In a fortuitous turn of events for this outer sect disciple like me, I inadvertently practiced some Cloud Shadow.”

”May I, as an outer sect disciple, try participating?”

The Cultivation Technique of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple wasn’t usually allowed to be practiced by outsiders.

But seeing him on the side, the Hall Master could see.

The small number of scrolls received by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master was what made Jiang Fan so envious with red eyes!

Cold Sword Master glanced at Jiang Fan and said with a smile, ”Alright, the more, the merrier.”

He didn’t shy away.

Because he was confident, he wouldn’t lose to the juniors.
