Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2202: Chapter 2246: Daily Life Record

”What?”

Jiang Fan’s mind jolted, and he hurriedly used Instantaneous Movement to get there.

Liu Qingxian, Rebellious Guy, and Hua Xin also rushed over. Like Jiang Fan, they had read countless books until their eyes practically bled, yet they hadn’t found a single snippet of information. It was as if the Ancestral Dao had never existed during the era of the Daqian Divine Kingdom.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the Big Black Dog pulled out a dusty, green book with silver edges from beneath a bookshelf. The cover prominently bore four words: *Detailed Explanation of the Ten Thousand Daos*.

Jiang Fan’s gaze trembled. Finally, a document introducing the myriad Daos of heaven and earth! Since it introduced the myriad Daos, how could it possibly bypass the nine most powerful Ancestral Daos?

He quickly snatched it up and flipped to the title page, which contained the table of contents. On the very first line, the words ”Discussion on the Ancestral Daos” were clearly written.

Thrilled, Jiang Fan eagerly turned to the main text.

However, his expression suddenly froze. The onlookers also exchanged bewildered glances.

”Why... is it blank?” Liu Qingxian stammered.

The Big Black Dog quickly squeezed its canine head over. ”What the hell? How can it be a blank book?”

It flipped toward the back. As it turned out, past the section on the Ancestral Dao, the pages introducing the other Daos were completely intact. Continuing further, every subsequent page contained text as well. Various introductions were present; only the Ancestral Dao was left utterly blank.

A trace of helplessness washed over Jiang Fan’s face. ”No wonder we couldn’t find any documents on the Ancestral Dao. Its very existence has been erased!”

He had witnessed something like this once before. It was done by the White-robed Skeleton of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple in Central Earth. Right in front of Jiang Fan, he had deleted important names from the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple’s registry, erasing people’s memories along with them.

Hua Xin revealed an expression of expected realization. ”I had my suspicions. This should be the handiwork of a Holy Angel. To be exact, an extremely powerful Holy Angel!”

To be able to erase ancient texts right in front of the ten Saint Realm experts of the Martial Vault without them daring to object... what kind of existence was this Holy Angel? Just thinking about it sent a shiver down Hua Xin’s spine. It seemed someone was determined to prevent future generations from learning about the Ancestral Dao.

”So this was all for nothing?” Rebellious Guy muttered.

Liu Qingxian hugged Jiang Fan’s arm. ”Let’s keep looking. Maybe there are some documents that slipped through the cracks?”

Jiang Fan calculated the time. In five days, Liu Qingxian would participate in the trial tournament. If they still couldn’t find anything by then, they would have to leave.

Rallying his spirits, he said, ”Let’s push through a bit more. Everyone, keep searching!”

One day passed, then two, then three.

With only two days left before their departure, the group still had nothing to show for it. In a full thirteen days, only the Big Black Dog’s *Detailed Explanation of the Ten Thousand Daos* had mentioned the Ancestral Dao.

Naturally, this outcome left Jiang Fan feeling utterly discouraged. All their hard work had ultimately amounted to nothing. He gazed out at the boundless sea of books, then glanced at Rebellious Guy, the Big Black Dog, and Hua Xin. The three looked bored out of their minds, secretly slacking off to kill time.

He knew everyone was exhausted. They no longer held any hope of finding literature on the Ancestral Dao.

After a moment of contemplation, he said, ”Rest up. We’re done searching.”

Rebellious Guy and the others looked as if they had received a royal pardon. They all immediately laid down on the floor and closed their eyes to rest. Searching for books wasn’t physically taxing, but it was exceptionally draining on the mind.

RUSTLE—

The faint sound of turning pages drifted over. Jiang Fan looked over and saw Liu Qingxian buried in front of a bookshelf, rapidly checking the categories of the books. Her brows were tightly furrowed as she focused entirely on examining book after book, showing absolutely no intention of giving up!

A warmth bloomed in Jiang Fan’s heart. He used Instantaneous Movement to appear by her side, catching her hand as she reached for another book. ”Forget it. It was a needle in a haystack to begin with, so failure is normal.”

Unwilling to concede, Liu Qingxian said, ”Let me look a bit more. The Ancestral Dao is so important to you. Even if there’s only a sliver of a chance left, we can’t give up!”

Jiang Fan was slightly moved. Immediately, his own spirits were rekindled. If others hadn’t given up, how could he surrender so easily?

”Huh, what is this book?” Suddenly, Liu Qingxian pulled a slightly worn, gold-edged book from a pile.

Like the silver-edged book from earlier, it had a faint metallic luster. However, it was exceptionally heavy! Even though it was just a single book, it took a great deal of effort for Liu Qingxian to pull it out.

Yet, she couldn’t lift it at all.

The gold-edged book hit the floor with a heavy THUD, violently shaking the entire library world. Resting on the floor, Rebellious Guy was instantly bounced hundreds of feet into the air. The Big Black Dog was also shaken so hard its bones nearly fell apart, letting out a yelp of pain.

Hua Xin looked at the source of the tremor in astonishment. ”This realm is the Qiankun World, personally inscribed by the Daqian Monarch. Even a Three Calamity Realm Great Sage might not be able to shake these characters. What kind of thing just caused an earthquake in this world?”

Soon, the two beasts and one ghost rushed to the epicenter of the tremor.

Jiang Fan stared in utmost amazement at the gold-edged book lying on the ground. He tried to pick it up, only to discover to his shock that he couldn’t move it even a fraction of an inch!

”It’s a treasure!” The Big Black Dog’s eyes gleamed brightly. ”Let me do it!”

Leading the charge, it opened its jaws and clamped down on the book, attempting to pick it up. Yet, despite trying with all its might, it couldn’t budge it at all!

Even a Two Calamities Realm expert couldn’t shake it?

Jiang Fan’s curiosity was truly piqued. Just what kind of book was this?

The bright yellow cover was completely blank, bearing no title or design.

Since he couldn’t pick it up, he could at least open it, right?

Jiang Fan tried to open the book, but it felt as if it were sealed by some mysterious power, rendering it impossible to open!

Hua Xin stared at the book for a long time, her eyes trembling as she muttered, ”To think that this book actually ended up in the Martial Vault! And it was treated as a useless tome, left out here for anyone to flip through?”

Hmm?

Jiang Fan’s eyes flashed as he asked, ”Do you recognize this book?”

Upon hearing this, Hua Xin took a deep breath. Staring intently at the book, she asked, ”Have you ever seen any book with a bright yellow cover?”

This...

Jiang Fan exchanged glances with Rebellious Guy and the others. They had looked through tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, of books. The cover colors of all those books had repeated hundreds or thousands of times. But they had truly never seen one with a bright yellow cover.

Hua Xin explained, ”In the Daqian Divine Kingdom, bright yellow is a color exclusive to the imperial family. The same goes for books!”

What?

This was a royal book? And it was mixed in with ordinary documents?

Excitement shone in Jiang Fan’s eyes. ”How do we open this book?”

Hua Xin shook her head. ”It requires Divine Power...”

At this point, she suddenly paused. Didn’t Jiang Fan possess Divine Power?

Jiang Fan’s eyes lit up, and he immediately circulated the mysterious energy within his body. A fluttering flag materialized behind him, with the three words ”Champion Marquis” dancing in the wind. The moment it appeared, waves of Divine Power rippled outward.

Under the pressure, Rebellious Guy and Liu Qingxian were forced to bow. Anticipating this, Jiang Fan wrapped an arm around Liu Qingxian’s waist.

Then, with a burning gaze, he reached out and pressed his hand onto the book.

Instantly, a scorching sensation transmitted into his palm.

On the blank cover, several striking, large characters suddenly appeared!

*Daqian Monarch Daily Life Record*!
