Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1492: Chapter 1525: Eats Well, Sleeps Well

"If there is any discrepancy in the inscriptions between the two of you..."

Jiang Fan waved the Divine Wood in his hand and said indifferently:

"If there’s a difference of one character, each of you will get one strike."

"For ten characters, it will be ten strikes."

"As for more than that, I can’t guarantee whether you’d survive under the rod."

Tian Ge’s pupils contracted sharply.

She couldn’t bear even half a blow, and hurriedly said:

"What I wrote is absolutely true, not a single character is wrong."

"If there’s a mistake, it’s this woman!"

"You can’t hit me along with her!"

Jiang Fan ignored her, tossing the pen and paper to Hua Xin.

Using two copies of the ’Invitation to the Saint’ for comparison was just one method to test authenticity.

Monitoring Hua Xin’s inner thoughts was also a method to test authenticity.

Using both methods simultaneously could ensure the authenticity of the inscriptions.

Hua Xin gripped the pen, grinding her teeth silently, "This bastard, deceiving him is harder than ascending to heaven!"

She didn’t know what Tian Ge had written.

So she dared not recklessly write a false one.

Otherwise, if there were differences, she herself would also be beaten.

After much deliberation, she could only resentfully yet obediently transcribe a true copy of the ’Invitation to the Saint’.

Jiang Fan compared the two copies and, finding not a single character discrepancy, finally relaxed his mind.

The matter of the inscriptions on the bronze artifact was thoroughly resolved.

He memorized the content and then set it on fire, burning it to ashes.

"Consider yourselves honest."

Jiang Fan casually tossed several Yin Qi radishes in front of Tian Ge.

"Take them."

As soon as Tian Ge saw them, a desire rising from the depths of her soul surged in her heart: "These are spiritual objects from the Hell Realm?"

No Shura from the Heavenly Realm could resist objects from their homeland.

Especially since Tian Ge had been so weak for so long, she urgently needed the nourishment of Yin Qi.

Hua Xin, seeing this, immediately protested: "Don’t give them to her!"

"The Dark Shura Clan doesn’t deserve it!"

She glared at Tian Ge, her eyes filled with anger.

Just like the first time they met.

Jiang Fan said indifferently, "The grudges of your Hell Realm have nothing to do with me."

"She gave me the ’Invitation to the Saint’ that I wanted, giving her some Yin Qi spiritual objects is nothing."

"As for you..."

His eyes narrowed slowly.

If Hua Xin had handed over the ’Invitation to the Saint’ earlier, Jiang Fan wouldn’t have unknowingly killed the Hell Beast.

Resulting in having the sacrificial inscriptions and utensils, but lacking the Hell Beast’s blood.

This woman had been guarding against her all along.

Moreover, her background was complicated, her origins a mystery.

Soon, Jiang Fan was set to die, and if Hua Xin regained her freedom by then, would she become a hidden threat to Central Earth?

Hua Xin keenly sensed the faint killing intent in Jiang Fan’s heart, and she was shocked.

Hastily bowing her head and acting submissive, she said, "I—I still have other valuable uses."

Without a change in expression, Jiang Fan activated the Soul Capturing Lock, binding Hua Xin’s remnant soul with chains.

His eyes flickered with an undefined emotion, and he said indifferently, "Such as?"

Cold sweat dripped from Hua Xin’s forehead, and she stammered, "For example... Well, I can eat and sleep."

What she feared Jiang Fan the least was the bronze artifact inscriptions.

Now, since Jiang Fan had already obtained them through other means.

What value did she have left?

Suddenly, a bright idea struck her, and she said, "I—I can help you ward off disasters!"

"Isn’t that Asura Saint Son still hunting you down?"

She had almost forgotten about the Asura Saint Son.

That Bloodthirsty Shura Clan line of the Asura Saint Son was obviously at odds with Hua Xin’s lineage.

With Hua Xin around, she could block a calamity at a critical moment.

Contemplating this, Jiang Fan thought, "Alright, you can stay in the Ghost Soul Crystal."

"Before that, you’d better think about what other extra value you have."

"In case one day the threat of the Asura Saint Son is resolved, you might..."

He made a gesture across his neck, unreservedly revealing his threat.

Hua Xin bit her silver teeth secretly, "Bastard! Do you really think all those Yin Qi Vegetables I’ve been eating were for nothing?"

"I’ll soon give you a surprise."

Her eyes flashed with a trace of anticipation.

Just as Jiang Fan was about to put away the Ghost Soul Crystal, he suddenly caught this hint through the Ancient Heart Mirror.

He was quite surprised.

It turned out that Yin Qi Vegetables had another significant use for Hua Xin.

Had she restored lost memories? Or cultivated a Hell Realm cultivation technique?

Or was she brewing some other method?

No wonder she had such an unusually strong demand for Yin Qi Vegetables.

Unintentionally, he discovered a little secret of Hua Xin’s.

Turning his gaze, he took out all the Yin Qi Vegetables from the Ghost Soul Crystal.

He tossed them to Tian Ge with a flick of his hand.

"Ah! What are you doing?" Hua Xin asked in surprise.

Jiang Fan replied, "I don’t have enough Yin Qi Vegetables, so use yours to reward her."

"Don’t be so stingy; I’ll get you fresher ones."

Really?

Hua Xin was skeptical, with some doubt in her heart. Could it be that Jiang Fan had noticed the things she was planning secretly?

It shouldn’t be. She had hidden it so well.

After a while, she finally said, "Alright, but you have to replenish me."

"Otherwise, a weak remnant soul like me will die."

Weak?

Jiang Fan used to think so, but now he was questioning it.

Releasing the Soul Capturing Lock, Jiang Fan tossed her back into the Ghost Soul Crystal.

Giving Tian Ge a final glance, he prepared to turn and leave.

"Wait." Tian Ge gathered a pile of Yin Qi Vegetables in front of herself and said coldly:

"You’d better stay away from that woman."

Oh?

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin and asked, "You know who she is?"

Tian Ge shook her head, "I don’t know. I’m from the Heavenly Realm; how would I know someone from the Hell Realm?"

"But I can feel that in her lifetime, she must have been a terrifying figure."

"For her to end up dead with a remnant soul, she must have been involved in a huge cause and effect."

"Be careful not to get entangled."

A terrifying figure?

Coming from the mouth of a princess of the Dark Shura Clan, Hua Xin’s past identity rose another level in Jiang Fan’s mind.

"Thank you."

Jiang Fan waved his hand without looking back and left with his hands behind his back.

Tian Ge watched Jiang Fan leave, her eyes still cold, and muttered to herself:

"No need to thank me."

"I just don’t want to owe you a favor, so it will be easier to kill you when I’m free!"

She looked at the Yin Qi Vegetables before her, her eyes brighter than ever.

Speaking of Jiang Fan.

He took a step toward the prison exit.

Muttering as he walked, "The journey to White Horse Temple is over."

"Time to take a look at the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple."

Suddenly, he sensed a faint chill permeating the air.

At the same time, within the Ghost Soul Crystal, Hua Xin squinted her eyes and warned:

"Be careful, a Divinity Transformation Venerable is coming."

Perhaps eager to demonstrate her value, Hua Xin was quite actively assisting Jiang Fan.

A Divinity Transformation Venerable?

Specializing in ice cultivation?

Does Taicang State have such a Divinity Transformation Venerable?

No matter what, it’s better for me to avoid for now.

He pressed his two fingers against his lips and silently chanted, "No-Self Dust-Cleansing Technique."

In the next moment, he vanished from where he stood.

It was a perfect chance to test whether the Second Layer Perfection of the ’No-Self Dust-Cleansing Technique’ was as described.

Capable of concealing from the senses of a Divinity Transformation Venerable.
