Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 950: Chapter 950: Charging Toward Taicang State

This is just too shocking.

So many peerless experts have come to Taicang State, some even more formidable than Bai Yu.

Yet none of them can do anything to the Connecting Sky Black Pillar.

But they are actually afraid of Jiang Fan!

As Jiang Fan approaches, it seems to consciously retreat.

”No need to fear me.”

”I’m just taking you to a better place!”

With a swift step, Jiang Fan darts to the Connecting Sky Black Pillar, and before it can move, he grasps it firmly.

Though it looks like a beam of light, it feels solid.

Instantly, Jiang Fan captures it.

It twists, trying to escape from Jiang Fan’s grasp, but cannot break free.

After a moment, realizing that struggling is futile, it ceases its efforts, letting Jiang Fan drag it away.

Concubine Yunxia suddenly understands.

”You intend to take the Connecting Sky Black Pillar to the White Horse Temple?”

Jiang Fan responds blandly, ”What comes down from the Connecting Sky Black Pillar are the vicious ancient giants.”

”Wherever the pillar is, that becomes the first site of disaster.”

”As the ancient Buddha said, if I don’t enter hell, who will?”

”The monks of the White Horse Temple boast of Buddha’s compassion and deliverance for all. Surely, they won’t mind being the first to face the disaster of the ancient giants, will they?”

Concubine Yunxia finally understands.

Why Jiang Fan would say that even the Bodhisattva cannot save the Sky Demon Emperor.

If the Connecting Sky Black Pillar is thrown into the White Horse Temple, even the Bodhisattva cannot sit still. How would they still dare to shelter the Sky Demon Emperor?

”Then do you have the confidence to deal with the Sky Demon Emperor?”

She pondered and asked again.

In a previous battle, Jiang Fan had exhausted all his Magical Treasures.

The White Horse Temple might no longer care about the Sky Demon Emperor, but Jiang Fan might not be able to deal with him either.

Jiang Fan said, ”Therefore, I mentioned needing someone’s assistance.”

He took out half a bottle of True Spirit Blood, saying, ”If we travel to the White Horse Temple at the speed of a One-Orifice Nascent Soul, how long will it take?”

Concubine Yunxia, having traveled in Taicang State when she was younger, knew a bit about it.

”About a day.”

Jiang Fan nodded, ”Just enough!”

”Let’s go!”

With the Connecting Sky Black Pillar in tow, he returned to the Nine Dragon Bronze Chariot, heading towards the Beihai Coast.

Upon reaching the seaside.

He retrieved the Nine Dragon Bronze Chariot, switching to the Golden Cloud Spirit Boat.

The remaining Water Source Essence was less than a conch shell and couldn’t possibly cross the Vast Sea.

They could only rely on the Golden Cloud Spirit Boat before them.

”Next, you maneuver the spirit boat while I focus on cultivation.”

”Once I achieve Great Success, killing the Cangqiong will be easy.”

Concubine Yunxia nodded lightly, steering the Golden Cloud Spirit Boat at the front.

Jiang Fan sat cross-legged on the spirit boat, with the Connecting Sky Black Pillar tied to his back, crossing the Vast Sea with them.

From afar,

one would see a strange scene of a dark beam of light moving swiftly across the Vast Sea.

On the spirit boat,

Jiang Fan checked his body.

The various powers drained by the Execution Pen were completely restored, as was the Soul Power exhausted from using the Nine Phoenix Chao Dao hairpin.

Besides this.

When he saved the Slave Heart Demon Emperor, he had absorbed some Tribulation Thunder, though it was less than one percent of what the Slave Heart Demon Emperor absorbed.

Yet it caused a change in his power, adding a hint of Nascent Soul Aura.

Thus, his Spiritual Power surpassed ordinary spiritual power, and he had two inner cores—one at the Ninth Layer Perfection of Core Formation and one at the Ninth Layer—his Spiritual Energy was exceedingly abundant.

Combined, his Spiritual Power was just a hair’s breadth from true Nascent Soul Power.

Plus, his Soul Power had reached the Peak of One-Orifice Nascent Soul.

If he could fully absorb the True Spirit Blood and forge the Second Form, he could attain the Golden Body!

This so-called Golden Body means that the Physique in the path of Body Refinement attains a Nascent Soul Body!

At that time, what would Jiang Fan have to fear from the Sky Demon Emperor?

With many Magical Treasures, killing him would be as easy as turning over his hand!

Calming his heart.

He gazed at the half bottle of True Spirit Blood before him.

Time was pressing, and he had no leisure to consume it as gradually as before.

He drank a large sip that could cultivate to a form.

In an instant!

Jiang Fan felt as if his internal organs were burning, his whole body scorching from inside to out.

The pain was greater than being struck by a Heavenly Tribulation.

Even though he had taken True Spirit Blood many times before, he found it unbearably painful and let out a painful howl.

His consciousness quickly spiraled into darkness.

No! I can’t fall asleep!

With a thought, he hastily took out the Pain Relief Stone he had acquired through swindling the Rebellious Guy.

This item was originally meant for use during tribulations.

Now, he could not care more.

He immediately put it into his mouth.

The heartbreaking pain was greatly alleviated, but it was still much more painful than taking diluted True Spirit Blood before.

He endured the intense pain, silently operating the ”Brahma Saint True Spirit Technique.”

Taicang State.

A magnificent, vast Buddhist temple lay on Zhu Yuan Mountain, where the Spiritual Energy of Taicang State was most abundant.

The halls were resplendent, and mists of treasure light and rosiness pervaded the surroundings.

Wisps of sacred Buddha Light illuminated the surroundings, turning the clouds in the sky golden.

The continuous chants of Sanskrit echoed endlessly, calming the heart and soul and making one forget both glory and shame.

At this moment,

inside the most solemn Hall of Great Strength.

The Sky Demon Emperor knelt before the statue of Buddha.

The dragon robe he had worn was replaced by a simple garment of blue gauze.

His once neatly combed golden hair flowed loosely.

He clasped his hands together, bowing his head in prayer.

Monks gathered all around him.

Among them was the serene and smiling Dharma Seal Vajra.

Besides the temple’s own monks, there were also a few guests from other sects.

”Senior Qi Yin, what brings you here?”

Wei Wuji compressed his voice into a sound wave, quietly conveying it to Qi Yin Master sitting with tea beside him.

He himself pretended to take a nap with eyes closed.

Qi Yin Master received the message and replied without a change in expression:

”Why have you been invited?”

Wei Wuji replied with a wry smile, ”Like everyone present, we’ve all offended the White Horse Temple, so we were invited to witness the enlightenment of the Sky Demon Emperor, to set an example.”

”A Vajra was injured. When he went to borrow the Mother Origin Cauldron from the East Sea, it so happened that a strong figure from our Myriad Phenomena Void Realm also needed it due to injury, leading to a dispute.”

”That Vajra was unreasonable, not only beating our person up but also wrecking Yizhu Demon Emperor’s East Sea Palace, accusing them of disrespecting the White Horse Temple for not giving them priority.”

Qi Yin Master’s mouth twitched as he replied, ”That is quite domineering.”

”Our Heaven and Sea Pavilion had a similar issue when a few inexperienced new disciples clashed with the monks coming to beg for alms.”

”Then we were invited over.”

Every time White Horse Temple wants to enlighten a strong practitioner, they invite people over.

This is White Horse Temple’s longstanding tradition.

The purpose is to showcase their strength, warning outsiders to prepare mentally before opposing them.

In recent years, White Horse Temple has enlightened one demon emperor or exotic beast each year.

Over decades to a hundred years, no one could say for sure how many demon emperors and exotic beasts enlightened in White Horse Temple.

If they were to make a full strike, coupled with many Vajras within White Horse Temple and the reclusive Bodhisattva,

it’s suffocating to even think about it.

No one denies that White Horse Temple is the top power in Taicang State.

Therefore, when White Horse Temple invites many sects they’ve offended throughout the year to witness their enlightenment, no sect dares not to come.

All attend with awkward smiles, bearing it.

Even if there’s resentment, they can only grit their teeth, pretending to participate amicably.

Wei Wuji sighs heavily through transmission, helplessly:

”Isn’t there anyone who can tackle the White Horse Temple?”
