Supreme Emptiness

The deacon of the Reward and Punishment Hall paused.

Staring at the unusually large demon core, for a moment he couldn’t recognize it.

After a closer look, he widened his eyes in shock and said, "This… this is a Beast King’s Demon Core!"

"It’s a Beast King’s Demon Core!"

"Heavens! Did you slay the Beast King of the Hundred Beasts Mountain?"

In the vast square, a sudden uproar ensued.

Fortunately, this place was outdoor. If it had been indoors, the excitement might have blown the roof off.

"Isn’t the Beast King at the Core Formation Realm?"

"He actually slew a Core Formation Realm being?"

"In our Green Cloud Sect territory, there’s only one Beast King in the Hundred Beasts Mountain!"

"This means that Jiang Fan did indeed kill the demon beasts of the Hundred Beasts Mountain!"

"He didn’t cheat; he really killed that many demon beasts!"

The doubters all fell silent.

Other demon cores could be bought.

But where could one buy a Beast King’s Demon Core?

Tang Tianlong’s face turned unsightly.

He had intended to sabotage Jiang Fan’s first place.

But who knew, instead, he would affirm Jiang Fan’s first place without any dispute!

Seeing his favorite disciple so humiliated, Feng Guchan angrily said, "Sect Master, since you knew Jiang Fan was first."

"Why did you keep it hidden just now?"

Had it not been so, how could Tang Tianlong have doubted him so much and ended up being humiliated?

Liu Wuchen’s mouth twitched.

You ask me, who should I ask?

He was more puzzled than anyone.

This disciple whom he couldn’t stand had actually achieved such an astonishing feat!

Who could he reason with now!

However.

In front of the entire sect, he naturally could not show his foolishness.

He cleared his throat, and said, "Um… wasn’t it to avoid demoralizing your disciple, Tang Tianlong?"

"Who knew your disciple would insist on digging to the bottom."

"Now that he’s embarrassed, you can’t blame this Sect Master."

Feng Guchan gritted his teeth.

Today, truly, they had brought humiliation upon themselves!

Not only had they lost face, but they also allowed the Sect Master Peak to bask in glory!

To make matters worse, Jiang Fan was not willing to let it go.

He looked at Tang Tianlong with his hands behind his back and said, "Do you have any more doubts?"

"Second place, Tang Tianlong?"

The latter statement was truly a killing blow!

It drew people’s lips to twitch uncontrollably.

Tang Tianlong was indeed enraged, shouting in humiliation, "So what if you have more kills than me?"

"It’s just a bit more time to cultivate in the Holy Hall!"

"You, a waste without a Spirit Root, what’s the point of cultivating no matter how long?"

Jiang Fan shrugged, "Even if I can’t cultivate, can’t I still have two wives?"

He beckoned to Xu Youran in the crowd.

The latter, in front of everyone, shyly ran over to Jiang Fan and complained, "You and Silin going would have been enough, why drag me along."

"So many people watching, it’s so embarrassing."

Jiang Fan took her into his arms as well and laughed,

"This way, those who usually envy and slander you can have a good look at whether you made a wrong choice for your husband!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Youran’s eyes brightened slightly.

She unconsciously lifted her fair neck a little.

She was so beautiful, her Spirit Root was also extremely high, yet her fiancé was the notorious Spirit Rootless Jiang Fan.

How could there be a lack of gossip?

There was no shortage of jealous attackers who called her blind.

She never argued, for Jiang Fan indeed had no Spirit Root, and she couldn’t refute it.

But today, she finally felt proud!

Who would dare say her fiancé was unworthy now? Say she lacked discernment?

Watching Xu Youran and Chen Silin both getting the spotlight because of Jiang Fan made Xu Yining very uncomfortable.

She bit her red lips and stared at them silently.

Noticing her expression, Tang Tianlong felt even more disgraced.

Before setting out, he had boasted grandly about his superiority.

In the end, he made Xu Yining look inferior.

He shouted, "Entering the Holy Hall doesn’t mean relaxation!"

"Cultivation requires guidance!"

"Can you, a waste without a Spirit Root, provide guidance to them?"

Then, he turned to Xu Yining and said, "Junior Sister Xu, let’s go! Follow me and I will personally guide your cultivation!"

"I assure you, a day of training with me will be worth ten days with them!"

Xu Yining’s eyes lit up.

Yes!

The future was still uncertain!

Tang Tianlong was an exceptional talent.

With his personal guidance, how could her progress not surpass theirs?

Hearing this, the crowd finally came to their senses.

"That’s right, what’s so great about being first place anyway?"

"Merit points are ultimately for use in the Holy Hall for cultivation. No matter how many merit points Jiang Fan has, can he guide his two wives?"

"Xu Yining is still fortunate. Although she can only cultivate in the Holy Hall for one and a half days."

"But I bet her gains will definitely be much greater than those of Jiang Fan’s two wives!"

Liu Wuchen, who had just rejoiced in stepping on a Great Elder momentarily, also sighed inwardly upon hearing this: "Jiang Fan entering is purely a waste of merit points."

Thinking this, he said, "Jiang Fan, if you don’t mind, I can have Wang Chengjian enter the Holy Hall to guide them for you."

This way, not only would merit points not be wasted,

but Jiang Fan’s wives would also receive good guidance.

But he failed to realize that this was a competition between Jiang Fan and Tang Tianlong, between Xu Yining and the two women.

He had to go.

"Master, I recently have some insights into the Martial Path, and I want to share them with my two fiancées, so I must decline."

Being rejected made Liu Wuchen raise an eyebrow.

But remembering that Jiang Fan had earned him great face just now, he restrained his emotions and nodded, "Then arrange it yourself."

After all, after the Holy Hall cultivation, if Jiang Fan’s wives fell short, it would be his face that was lost, not Liu Wuchen’s.

Tang Tianlong laughed and said, "Jiang Fan, perhaps you should follow the Sect Master’s arrangement."

"Let someone else guide your wives."

"At least your wives wouldn’t lose so badly."

Jiang Fan glanced at him, calmly shaking the bag full of demon cores, making a jingling sound.

This made Tang Tianlong’s face darken, "Just by luck, you got so many!"

"We’ll see the results in the Holy Hall!"

Jiang Fan smiled.

His harvest would fetch one hundred eighty merit points.

Evenly distributed among the three, each could cultivate individually for five days.

Enough for the realm of all three to improve, how much depended on the Holy Hall’s mystical power.

"Jiang Fan."

At this moment, Elder Li Qingfeng of the Heavenly Sword Peak approached with a heavy heart.

Though Li Qingfeng had not favored him initially and continuously belittled him for achieving cultivation by exhausting his potential,

he had treated Chen Silin and Xu Youran well.

Therefore, Jiang Fan still maintained the necessary courtesy, "Greetings, Elder Li."

Li Qingfeng hesitated and asked, "Why haven’t I seen my disciple Ding Wanping? Do you have any news of him?"

He had inquired with the disciples who returned first.

He had only learned that Ding Wanping had been favored by a Soul Master and became the Young Master of the Ding Family.

Remembering Ding Xuhui’s instructions, Jiang Fan explained the whole situation.

On hearing it, Li Qingfeng trembled inwardly, eyes showing a trace of sorrow.

Yet, he was helpless.

After all, Ding Wanping was a member of the Ding Family. Read new chapters at NovelBin.Côm

That was their family affair.

He, an outsider, had no stake in it.

Moreover, it was too late to intervene.

"Alas! I always reminded him to widen his mind, avoid arrogance and impatience, or it might bring trouble to himself."

"I didn’t expect it to come true in the end."

Looking at the composed and steady Jiang Fan in front of him,

he couldn’t help but think, if only Ding Wanping had half of Jiang Fan’s steadiness, perhaps he wouldn’t have met this fate.

Thinking so, he began to see Jiang Fan in a different light.

This unexpected and astounding accomplishment must be tied to his character.

He raised his hand and patted Jiang Fan on the shoulder, "You did well this time."

"But to be worthy of my two female disciples, you still have a long way to go."

"Keep up the good work!"

Jiang Fan felt a sense of strangeness.

Was this really the same Li Qingfeng who couldn’t stand him?

Shaking his head.

He led the two women to the Holy Hall.

In front of the Holy Hall.

Two unkempt old men were whispering to each other.

One of them was Huang Zhantian from the Scripture Pavilion.

Seeing Jiang Fan approaching, he quickly said, "Old Zheng, that’s the kid."

Old Zheng was another Supreme Elder, Zheng Qiushuang.

He was in charge of guarding the Holy Hall.

Looking in the indicated direction, he couldn’t help but reveal a hint of suspicion, "His cultivation is very low, just the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment."

"Did you read too many inappropriate books and your eyes got blurry?"

"You really have high expectations for this kid."

Huang Zhantian rolled his eyes, "When have I ever misjudged someone?"

Zheng Qiushuang curled his lips, "Fine, didn’t they just finish hunting demon beasts?"

"Let’s see how your favored disciple performed in this action."

"Hopefully, it’s not just one merit point."
