Supreme Emptiness

Both sides were locked in fierce battle and had no time to pay attention to him.

He silently took out the Turtle Breath Cloak and draped it over himself.

In an instant, he vanished into thin air.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and lifted his robe to inspect the silver-white armor underneath.

Indeed, this Core Formation Fifth Level defensive armor was quite useful!

"You all can keep fighting."

"I'm going to see what kind of treasure this divine object really is!"

Jiang Fan secretly laughed to himself.

Did they think they could trick him into dying with such powerful Beast Kings?

What were they thinking?

He stayed behind only to take advantage of the chaos to seize that item.

He immediately took out the scale.

Guided by the scale.

He silently arrived at the back mountain of No Return Mountain.

A sheer cliff a hundred feet deep, half-filled by the Giant Sect's waste over the centuries.

If any secret cave was buried at the bottom, it would be a futile effort.

Fortunately.

The direction indicated by the scale was a cliff face.

It was several dozen feet above the waste.

The cliff was covered in smooth, sheer ice and snow.

Ordinary people could hardly reach it.

It's no wonder the Giant Sect hadn't discovered it.

Unless they spent a few more centuries flattening No Return Mountain, they wouldn't find it.

This was not a challenge for Jiang Fan at all.

He tied several rough, sharp crystal stones to the soles of his shoes to prevent slipping.

Then, using his movement technique, he walked on the smooth, icy cliff as if it were flat ground.

Soon.

Following the scale's guidance, he found a cave hidden beneath the snow and ice!

"So there's more to this!"

The inside of the cave was extremely large.

It had been hollowed out of the mountainside by sharp claws.

The interior was simple and spacious, resembling a secluded room specifically for cultivating techniques.

Apart from the numerous cultivation marks on the ground, there was nothing else.

Jiang Fan searched around, finding the cave empty.

The scale in his palm became inactive upon entering the cave.

"Nothing at all?"

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin, deep in thought, "It shouldn't be like this!"

"For such harsh conditions to lead here, there should be something!"

"Either the items here are well-hidden, or someone has taken them already."

"But judging by the untouched snow at the entrance, it doesn't seem like anyone has been here."

After careful consideration.

Jiang Fan's gaze flickered, and he activated the Iron Blood True Scripture.

Releasing the Dragon Elephant Battle Body.

As his body emitted sounds resembling roaring dragons and elephants.

The northeast corner of the cave responded with a rumbling sound.

Jiang Fan focused his eyes.

The stone wall in that corner suddenly opened automatically.

Revealing an inner wall, the size of a Buddha shrine.

Inside was a small beast-skin bundle.

He was overjoyed.

But calmly, he did not rush forward. Instead, from a distance, he used his Sword Control Technique to carefully pick up the bundle.

At the moment the bundle left the ground.

With a loud boom!

The ground where the bundle had been sprayed out a black, liquid poison.

It was tens of times more concentrated than the previous poisonous fog.

If sprayed directly, even a peerless expert at the Ninth Layer of Core Formation would be turned into a puddle of poisonous flesh! Water.

He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"What was that senior thinking?"

"Leaving the scale was clearly intended to guide someone to inherit this item."

"So why set such a deadly trap?"

Now, he dared not touch the bundle directly.

Keeping his distance, he used the Sorrow Frost Sword to cut open the bundle from afar.

As the beast-skin unraveled.

A bone as clear as jade came into view.

The bone was engraved with countless characters from the Demon Race.

"It seems to be a Demon Clan technique?" Jiang Fan was deeply disappointed.

But then he noticed a small piece of beast-skin beside the jade bone, also covered in writing.

It contained both Demon Race characters and Human Clan characters!

Jiang Fan looked closer and saw it read:

"If you can read this letter, it means you have passed my test."

"The martial path is one that goes against heaven, full of dangers, and without a cautious heart, even if you inherit my legacy, you will fall sooner or later."

"Rather than letting my legacy be cut off, it's better to leave it here, continuing to await someone destined."

Jiang Fan suddenly understood.

No wonder this senior set up so many traps.

It was meant to select a suitable inheritor.

Jiang Fan couldn't help but find it amusing.

This was clearly a cultivation technique for the Demon Race, what use did it have for a human like him?

The body structures of the Human Clan and the Demon Race were vastly different.

This made their cultivation techniques extremely exclusive.

It was impossible for humans to cultivate Demon Clan techniques.

However.

Upon reading further, Jiang Fan's heart suddenly shook.

"My father belonged to the Human Clan Nascent Soul cultivators, while my mother was a transformed member of the Demon Race."

"Hence, I have the bloodline of both the demon and human clans."

"From birth, neither the Human Clan welcomed me, nor did the Demon Race accept me."

"Thanks to my parents' profound knowledge and my own extraordinary talent, I combined both races' techniques to create the Earth-level high technique Brahma Saint True Spirit Technique."

"This technique is a body refinement method suitable for both the Human Clan and the Demon Race."

Reading this far.

Jiang Fan was utterly shocked.

The senior before his eyes was a unique being of mixed demon and human heritage.

One parent was a Nascent Soul great cultivator of the Human Clan, and the other a Demon Emperor!

What astounded Jiang Fan the most was.

This individual had managed to create an Earth-level high technique!

What kind of concept was that?

The Earth-level high technique Soul Cutting Three Forms he obtained from the Void Ancient Tree was difficult for him to comprehend.

Let alone creating an unprecedented Earth-level high technique suitable for both the demon and human clans!

He truly wasn't exaggerating when they called themselves exceptionally talented.

Indeed, they were worthy of such a title.

"Junior, having inherited the legacy, practice it well."

"This technique is not easy to cultivate, prepare yourself mentally."

"Additionally, I owe Venerate Wutong a promise."

"If you ever achieve success in your cultivation, could you go to the Great Wilderness Forbidden Land and tell her..."

"Lu Jiulin cannot fulfill his promise..."

A gust of wind blew by.

The beast-skin letter, having existed for untold years, crumbled like ashes.

With the regret of time and space, it drifted away with the wind.

Jiang Fan remained silent for a while.

"Even a peerless expert like Senior Lu had unfulfilled regrets."

He quietly repeated the words Great Wilderness Forbidden Land and Supreme Venerate Wutong.

If he had a chance, he would visit.

However, looking at the jade bone filled with Demon Race characters, Jiang Fan wore a bitter smile.

"Senior Lu, why didn't you engrave it in Human Clan characters as well?"

"Demon Race characters... I truly do not understand them!"

Having been at a loss several times due to illiteracy.

Jiang Fan felt it was necessary to learn the Demon Race characters.

The Pill Book Silver Scroll from the White Crystal Beast's stomach was like this.

The Brahma Saint True Spirit Technique before him was the same.

With a sigh.

Jiang Fan stored it in the Heavenly Thunder Stone space.

Confirming there was nothing else missing around, he prepared to leave the place.

But as soon as he stood up, he felt a barely perceptible tremor in the cave.

Something was nearby!

His heart skipped a beat.

He quickly donned the Turtle Breath Cloak.

Finding a corner, he concealed his aura and spiritual power fluctuations.

He watched the cave entrance without moving.
