Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1614: Chapter 1652: Old Acquaintance

That was a supreme being, overlooking all living beings, transcending the levels of life itself.

The mere aura it emitted made creatures feel insignificant in the face of vast heavenly might.

A few Nine Aperture Giants showed expressions of fear.

The tongues they shot out quickly reeled back, anxiously looking up at the white clouds.

A gust of wind blew, and amidst the clouds stood a teenager in black clothing.

In the midst of the cloud and mist, the bright full moon behind his head was exceptionally striking.

The Matriarch gasped, hurriedly kneeling down and praying with her hands clasped:

”The ancient royal family welcomes the arrival of the Divinity Transformation Venerable!”

All the Wang family members reverently knelt down and worshipped.

Although the ancient royal family had produced a Nine Aperture Nascent Soul, not one has ever reached the Divinity Transformation Realm in a thousand years.

In fact, no one in this generation has ever seen a Divinity Transformation Venerable.

To them, it was also a legendary existence.

To hear the name but never see the person.

Yet now, they had seen a true Divinity Transformation Venerable!

The Venerable had personally come to the ancient royal family!

Jiang Fan’s gaze fell on the several Nine Aperture Giants, casually waving, as a strand of lightning descended from the heavens, swiftly striking through the bodies of several giants.

Pff pff pff—

Several Ancient Giants didn’t even have time to let out a scream before they exploded into blood mist on the spot.

Jiang Fan withdrew his gaze and said lightly, ”Continue.”

He turned and walked towards the distance, with the white clouds swaying behind him.

The Wang family members then shockingly discovered that there was a group of Nascent Soul Realm experts following behind him in mid-air!

There were men and women, young and old, all were Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses!

Among them was a tall purple Female Giant!

They majestically marched eastward following the teenager in black.

Like a God passing by!

The Wang family members were stunned and knelt in place for a long time, slowly coming back to their senses.

Wang Lishi cradled her belly, excitedly saying:

”Matriarch, my unborn son was fortunate to brush by a Divinity Transformation Venerable.”

”He is destined for great success!”

The Matriarch’s face also lit up with joy, looking at the Nine Aperture Giants that had consumed the entire Qingling Mountain and died instantly, feeling both delight and amazement:

”Your grandmother often said, a Divinity Transformation Venerable walks among men as a true dragon.”

”Never having seen it with your own eyes, it’s hard to understand the meaning.”

”Today, we finally realize what a true dragon is.”

She looked toward the unborn child in Wang Lishi’s belly, saying, ”It was saved by the Divinity Transformation Venerable before being born, surely it will achieve greatness in the future!”

Suddenly, she noticed Wu Manyue staring off at the distant Divinity Transformation Venerable.

Her eyes filled with complex emotions.

There was surprise, gratitude, longing, and regret.

”Manyue, what’s wrong? Do you know any of them?”

Wu Manyue withdrew her gaze, gently shaking her head:

”How could I be fortunate enough to know them?”

She self-mocked inwardly.

Leaving the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, traveling a thousand miles to seek refuge in her mother’s family and fortunately breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, believing it to be a wise decision to change her destiny.

Now, she saw that everyone from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion had broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

The once familiar Ren Guhong was already a Three Apertures Nascent Soul.

Ye Banxia reached the Four Apertures Nascent Soul.

That person had even broken through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, becoming an unattainable existence for her to gaze upon.

How could she dare to associate as a former acquaintance?

The Matriarch casually nodded: ”Such an existence is certainly not one we can aspire to.”

”Come, help me tidy up the array.”

Wu Manyue nodded, her mood complex as she bent down to pick up a piece of the array fragment.

Suddenly.

Her vision blurred, and a pair of feet appeared out of thin air in her view.

She looked up in confusion, and the face of a teenager with a serene smile and a circular moon behind his head was clearly reflected in her eyes.

”It really is you, I thought I sensed wrong.”

Jiang Fan looked at the charming woman before him, feeling a strong sense of familiarity.

Wu Manyue hurriedly straightened up, tidying her hair and adjusting her wrinkled skirt, stumbling over her words, unsure what to say.

She had imagined a reunion with Jiang Fan.

But she never thought she would be so disheveled, with such a great disparity in their status.

After a while, she finally came back to her senses, shyly kneeling down and paying respect, saying:

”Junior pays respects to the Starfire Venerable.”

Turns out, she had heard the Ancient Saint’s proclamation.

Knowing that the former acquaintance was now a famous Starfire Venerable.

Before her knees touched the ground, a strand of gentle breeze lifted her up.

Jiang Fan said, ”Senior Sister Wu, no need for formality.”

Listening to the long-unheard phrase ”Senior Sister Wu,” Wu Manyue felt both comforted and saddened.

The comfort was that Jiang Fan still acknowledged her as his former senior sister at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

The sadness was that the two who once plotted against each other, both rivals and friends, had finally been reduced to just a ”senior sister and junior” seal.

Jiang Fan also felt distant.

The once charming and cunning Senior Sister Wu was no longer present.

At least, would no longer appear in front of her.

He said no more, taking out many resources from the Heavenly Realm and handing them to her, said:

”Senior Sister Wu, take care.”

”We shall meet again if fate allows.”

With that, he performed Instantaneous Movement and left.

Leaving Wu Manyue standing in place, dazedly watching the white clouds disappear at the horizon’s end.

”Many...Manyue, you...you know that Divinity Transformation Venerable?”

The Matriarch was the first to recover from the shocked Wang family members, lips quivering.

Wu Manyue lowered her head to look at the space storage device in her hand, silently saying:

”That’s all in the past now.”

Two tears fell down her cheeks.

She understood this was the last crossing of their lives.

Within the white clouds.

Watching Jiang Fan return, Xu Youran asked, ”Who did you see, husband?”

A trace of smile flickered in Jiang Fan’s eyes, he said, ”An old friend.”

The gap in status means that he and Wu Manyue will not return to the past.

If Wu Manyue could have stayed by his side like the others from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, it would be better.

Once leaving, they eventually become gradually distant old friends.

From ”fated to meet again” to ”dare not to meet again.”

He held Xu Youran’s soft hand, saying, ”Let’s progress together.”

”No one should leave anyone behind.”

Half a day later.

They arrived at the market surrounding Wenhai Academy.

The once bustling, lively giant market had now become ruins.

The rooftop where a brat lay eating pears and spitting at him had been trampled by a large foot.

All he saw was devastation and destruction.

Upon their arrival, the forces from various states had already arrived, clearing the nearby Ancient Giants.

It is worth mentioning that forces from the Holy Spirit State had also arrived.

Leading them was none other than Ice Heart Venerate!

Her skirt was slightly torn, as if she had experienced a battle.

She noticed Jiang Fan and the others arriving, turned her eyes, and caught sight of Jiang Fan.

Her gaze unconsciously shifted to Jiang Fan’s Divine Ring, her small mouth twinging lightly:

”You really certified yourself to Divinity Transformation, huh.”

”What Ancestor Dao, it’s unjust.”

A throbbing vein appeared on Jiang Fan’s forehead, he pointed to his Divine Ring: ”You also know I’m a Divinity Transformation.”

”Could you stay away when calling me an insect?”

The senses of a Divinity Transformation Venerable are ten times stronger than those in the Nascent Soul Realm.

Those whispers were like speaking right beside his ear.

Ice Heart Venerate’s cheeks flushed slightly, she pretended to look uninvolved towards Wenhai Academy, saying:

”Do you know where Xingyuan Venerable is?”
