Jiang Fan curiously looked over and discovered pearl-sized crystals inside the small tripod.
Each one contained unparalleled heat.
Some even enveloped a strange fire.
Even with his Fire Origin, approaching the magma, his skin felt prickly, let alone the Nascent Soul Realm Martial Artist without protection.
Of course, the Ancient Giants were included as well.
Looking at the hundred magma pearls, he couldnāt help but sigh:
"If I had gotten these earlier, we wouldnāt have suffered such heavy casualties in the previous battle."
"They werenāt used previously, and hopefully, there wonāt be a need to use them henceforth."
He put away the pearls and the Mountain River Tripod and leapt towards the outside world.
Soon after.
Successfully returned to the Fire Spring Entrance.
Sensing his arrival, Heart Demon Venerable and others gathered around.
"Jiang Dao You, why are you alone?"
Jiang Fan didnāt hide anything and said, "Below thereās a Remnant Soul of a Sage. True Word Venerable was favored by it and is currently receiving its inheritance."
A Sageās Remnant Soul?
And inheritance too?
Heart Demon Venerable envied and sighed repeatedly: "Alas, falling behind one step means falling behind every step!"
"If I broke through Heavenly Human Two Declines, I could go down and explore. The opportunity of Sage inheritance would be mine."
Jiang Fan glanced at his bald head and prosperous belly, and thought of the Lecherous Sageās vain and cunning natureāhow could she fancy Heart Demon Venerable?
Probably would kick him away in disdain.
He patted Heart Demon Venerableās shoulder and said:
"True Word Venerable went for the inheritance, you perhaps would just end as manual transmission."
Pingtian Bodhisattva heard and said, "True Word Donor is truly fortunate."
"That Lin Zhenyu Donor surely obtained enormous blessings too."
Eh?
Only then did Jiang Fan realize he overlooked Lin Zhenyu.
He expressed doubts and said:
"On my return journey, I didnāt encounter any formidable treasure to neutralize Water Origin."
"How did that disciple named Lin Zhenyu, who was hit into the Fire Spring by Water Origin, get saved?"
The Two-star Giant Kingās Water Origin is not easy to counteract.
Furthermore, in the process, ensuring Lin Zhenyuās unharmed condition is even harder.
"Could this guy be lying?" Jiang Fanās eyes flashed with keen insight.
Unfortunately, the opponent had already gone to Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, leaving no time to question him.
Buzz buzz~
Unexpectedly, a terrifying aura radiated causing tremors.
The world shook, and everyone felt the urge to worship.
It was distinctly the aura of the Giant Emperor!
Jiang Fan, Pingtian Bodhisattva, Heart Demon Venerable, and Jian Lanjiang became solemn simultaneously.
Misfortune God Stele descended before them, and Jiang Wuyaās weighty voice emerged from within:
"Iāll go alone to investigate the situation; you all wait here."
"If thereās danger, evacuate swiftly."
Then turned to Ming Ye Asura King and said, "Ming Ye Dao You, lend me the talent of heavenly sight for shared vision."
Ming Ye Asura King activated his talent, sharing the perspective of all five present.
Jiang Fan had experienced it in the Heavenly Realm, and felt familiar, saying:
"Going there is just risking your lives without purpose; in battles of such level, Divinity Transformation Realm strength means little."
"I have a treasure to counter the Sage, Iāll go alone."
"Monitor my perspective and act accordingly."
After speaking, he took a deep breath and rushed towards the direction of the radiating aura.
Heart Demon Venerable hesitated, ultimately decided against it.
Because he realized deep down, he feared going; it was merely blind fervor driving him before.
Watching Jiang Fan fearlessly advance against the Giant Emperorās aura, he remarked:
"This young fellow has unrivaled magical treasures, countless rare beauties, but I donāt envy him one bit."
"Because, all of them were hard-earned with his life!"
Extreme East.
Thousands of miles uninhabited.
Jiang Fan pursued the source of the aura, reaching the depths of the Eastern Wilderness.
Looking around, the ground was scorched black by flames, and fissures spouted bright red magma.
No grass grew between heaven and earth, all life was extinct.
And a Connecting Sky Black Pillar was firmly planted in the charred ground.
It was precisely the second Connecting Sky Black Pillar!
Jiang Fan sighed inwardly, "I underestimated and didnāt expect a second Connecting Sky Black Pillar."
"No, it should be just my oversight."
"Great Wine Sacrifice can foresee all major affairs in Taicang State; the emergence of a second Connecting Sky Black Pillar couldnāt have escaped his notice."
"He hadnāt acted before likely because he anticipated a formidable enemy would descend with the second Connecting Sky Black Pillar."
"This place is the Eastern Wilderness land, Sage Realm combats here wouldnāt damage Taicangās heartland, which is why he didnāt make me move the Connecting Sky Black Pillar."
Contemplating, he surveyed his surroundings.
The Giant Emperorās aura had vanished without a trace, impossible to locate.
Jiang Fan smiled bitterly, "No wonder the White-robed Skeleton said even with the Nine-colored Crystal, itās impossible to slay the Giant Emperor."
"I canāt even detect their presence, let alone slay them?"
This Nine-colored Crystal, according to White-robed Skeleton, few Sages in Central Earth could withstand it.
Its power is undeniable.
The challenge is how Jiang Fan could wield it.
"Why are you here too?" Suddenly, a voice, like a warm spring breeze, came from behind Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fanās heart skipped a beat, trembling all over.
He quickly turned and saw a middle-aged man with a gentle smile, standing behind him with hands clasped.
"Jiangshan First-class Building Owner?" Jiang Fan asked in surprise, "Why is it you?"
Currently, Jiang Fan is an Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul, with keen awareness of external fluctuations.
The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner was only a Five-aperture Nascent Soul, yet could appear silently behind him.
"Where thereās business, thereās me."
The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner smiled lightly and said:
"Sage and Giant Emperorās battle, itās a once-in-millennium sight, business opportunities are limitless."
Jiang Fan was speechless.
This guy, truly, heās encountered everywhere!
Encountered on the continent, trapping Ancient Giants in the East Sea, and even still in the North Sea cave in Biluo Huangquan...
Now, Sage and Giant Emperor battle, he encountered again!
Itās truly eerie.
Jiang Fan suspiciously asked: "Are you a paper figure now or the real body?"
He found that he couldnāt perceive the cultivation of the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner standing before him.
Could it be, itās no longer a paper figure but the real body?
The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner said, "Want to know? Exchange for Prison Suppressing Soul Scripture."
Jiang Fan rolled his eyes at him.
He really was consistent, charging even for answers, and asking for such a priceless scripture like Prison Suppressing Soul Scripture.
The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner chuckled, "Then just keep it well hidden."
"As far as I know, a Sage is looking for you, presumably for the Prison Suppressing Soul Scripture."
"Be careful."
What?
Jiang Fanās heart pounded, the whole of Central Earth had only one Sage relentlessly searching for the Prison Suppressing Soul Scripture!
That is, the Asura Saint Son!
Back then when he showcased the Prison Suppressing Soul Scripture in Heavenly Heritage City, he anticipated the scripture would attract the Asura Saint Sonās attention.
The opponent finally took the bait.
Jiang Fan hurriedly asked, "Which Sage?"
As long as exposed, it could alert the Sages of Central Earth, even lead to elimination.
