Chapter 1334: Chapter 1347: The Bodhisattva Takes Action
Jiang Fan was in utter shock.
It turned out that Venerate Xinnie had brought him along to deliver his last words.
So that all his lifelong teachings would not be left without an heir.
For a moment, Jiang Fan didn’t know whether he should draw his sword against him.
He clutched the storage ring, his heart filled with complexity: "Master, must those who cultivate Void Flow Thunder Force meet their demise?"
"Why do you insist on risking your life just to find him?"
A trace of warmth flickered in Venerate Xinnie’s eyes.
Jiang Fan was the first disciple to care about him.
He patted Jiang Fan’s shoulder: "I accept your good intentions."
"However, this is an order from the Young Emperor; I only have less than five days left."
"If I can’t kill him, the Young Emperor will kill me."
"In this world, one is often helpless!"
"Alright, just follow my instructions for everything."
Venerate Xinnie raised the Wish Paper, his expression quickly turning cold and sinister:
"You little beast, you’ve forced this old man to expend his life force to find you."
"If I find you, I will annihilate your entire clan to quench the hatred in my heart!"
He blew a breath onto the Wish Paper.
"The paper ash fell onto the Void Flow Thunder Force!"
In an instant.
Venerate Xinnie’s life force quickly drained away. Already aged, his body became rapidly withered.
Wrinkles stacked visibly on his face, his eyeballs turned a dull yellow, and tufts of his hair fell away.
His frame became abruptly hunched.
Even as a Venerate, using the Wish Paper required the sacrifice of corresponding life force.
Jiang Fan watched Venerate Xinnie intently.
If he were to fall here, then everything would be over.
If he succeeded, then... it would be the moment for master and disciple to break, swords drawn against each other.
Under Jiang Fan’s tense gaze.
Finally.
The Wish Paper ignited, and Venerate Xinnie was still alive.
Though his breath was weak, and little life remained.
But, he was still alive.
The wish had succeeded!
Venerate Xinnie grinned as he watched the Wish Paper turn to ashes in his hands.
These ashes would fly to the practitioner of the Void Flow Thunder Force!
As the wish stated, it would fall on the person.
Just by following these ashes, he would find the target and complete this task that had persisted for more than half a year.
With a pop.
The Wish Paper completely turned to ashes, swirling above in search of the location of the Void Flow Thunder Force.
Suddenly!
The ashes suddenly stopped!
It had found the location of the Void Flow Thunder Force!
Venerate Xinnie sneered: "Little beast!"
"The game is over!"
Jiang Fan’s heart also suddenly thumped.
Indeed, it was over!
The battle between him and Venerate Xinnie had come!
However.
Just as the ashes were about to move, swooping towards Jiang Fan.
In the not-too-distant White Horse Temple.
Suddently Buddhist chants reverberated, and a golden radiance spread.
A slow yet magnetic, magnificent and solemn voice gradually resonated.
"There is something before heaven and earth, formless, inherently silent."
"It can be the master of all phenomena, not withering alongside the seasons."
It was clearly the Bodhisattva!
His Buddhist chant sounded like a heavenly melody, calming souls, and making honor and disgrace forgotten.
All past deeds were like fleeting clouds; greed, anger, and obsession flowed away like water to the east.
The soul became empty, forgetful of everything.
Not only was Jiang Fan transfixed, standing dumbfounded, but even Venerate Xinnie was lost within it.
A moment later, he abruptly broke free, exclaiming in shock: "Heavenly Listener, what are you doing?"
It was no wonder he was alarmed.
A clash between Venerates could decide victory and defeat in an instant.
Yet, he had been lost for so long.
If the Bodhisattva wished him harm, he would have been killed long ago!
"Amitabha, all desires lead to suffering, desirelessness is bliss."
"Donor Xinnie, do not force anything."
The Bodhisattva’s voice gradually faded, until the last word was as faint as the buzz of a mosquito.
Venerate Xinnie frowned: "Why did he suddenly intervene..."
"Not good! The ashes!"
He looked up, but where were the ashes?
During his moment of distraction, they had long since disappeared!
"Heavenly Listener!" Venerate Xinnie was furious.
He had spent more than half his life force on a wish that was just ruined by the Bodhisattva’s four-word Buddhist revelation!
Though angry, he dared not bother the Heavenly Listening Bodhisattva.
A single Buddhist chant from him nearly took his soul.
Jiang Fan was secretly shocked.
What was going on?
Where did the ashes go?
Weren’t they supposed to fall on him, Jiang Fan?
But just now, in his distraction, he had no idea what had happened.
Chen Jing also shook his head, bewildered: "Master, what just happened?"
Just as Venerate Xinnie was about to find the practitioner of the Void Flow Thunder Force, suddenly the Bodhisattva appeared!
The True Word Venerable paid no heed to him, but cast a look of relief at Jiang Fan.
Since Jiang Fan was safe, there was no reason for her to stay.
"Jiang Fan, I’m leaving now."
Jiang Fan bowed: "Farewell, Elder."
The True Word Venerable nodded and ascended into the air.
Seeing this, Venerate Xinnie quickly asked: "True Word Daoist, did you see where the ashes went just now?"
The True Word Venerable shook her head: "No, I didn’t."
"Chen Jing, let’s go."
Chen Jing glared at Jiang Fan, unwillingly followed the True Word Venerable.
The True Word Venerable soared into the sky.
She occasionally turned to look at Jiang Fan on the ground, her eyes gradually filled with a tinge of loss.
From today on, she and Jiang Fan would be like strangers.
All the past was over.
Chen Jing saw this, feeling discontent: "Master, is Jiang Fan really that important to you?"
The True Word Venerable replied without hesitation: "He holds some weight."
Chen Jing clenched his fist.
Jiang Fan had come to Taicang State not long ago, yet unknowingly had secured a place in his master’s heart.
He asked: "Then, between Jiang Fan and me, who do you prefer?"
The True Word Venerable said: "Do not compare yourself to him."
Chen Jing gritted his teeth and said: "I want to know! Otherwise, I can’t cultivate in peace!"
After a moment of silence, the True Word Venerable said: "Of course, it’s him."
Boom——
Chen Jing felt as if he was struck by lightning.
The master actually liked Jiang Fan more, was it just because Jiang Fan had physical contact with the master?
This is unfair!
The True Word Venerable then spoke again: "But, you are more important because you are my disciple."
Only then did Chen Jing’s jealousy subside, revealing a satisfied smile.
No matter how outstanding Jiang Fan was, could he surpass the standing of this disciple in the True Word Venerable’s heart?
His eyes darted as he pressed on: "Master, I don’t like Jiang Fan."
"Can you sever any dealings with him in the future?"
The True Word Venerable looked at him coldly.
Although she was already doing so, Chen Jing’s proactive request made her feel resistant.
Chen Jing snorted: "Master, you promised me back then that you would help me break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm."
"Now my state of mind is affected by Jiang Fan, if you don’t sever ties with him, I’ll find it hard to reach Divinity Transformation."
"You would suffer domain damage for breaking your vow."
A threat?
The True Word Venerable felt unspeakable aversion.
After overcoming his Rebellious Intent, Chen Jing had completely changed.
She said indifferently: "Fine, I promise."
Chen Jing was secretly overjoyed.
The True Word Venerable would never break a promise.
When she said sever, she meant it.
Hahaha, Jiang Fan, the True Word Venerable is mine alone, you’ll never have her in this lifetime, hahaha!
But, just at this moment.
Chen Jing suddenly smelled a faint stench of rot.
He tracked the source, his body shivering, trembling as he said:
"Master, your Divine Ring..."
