Chapter 1432: Chapter 1456: The Five Great Sages

Ice Heart Venerate was surprised, not understanding why Jiang Fan would ask about the Sages.

Jiang Fan was only at the Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul Realm; sages should be a very distant matter for him.

After pondering for a moment, she patiently replied:

"As far as I know, there are only five."

Jiang Fan was slightly shocked.

First, he was surprised at the difficulty of entering the Virtuous Realm.

In the past thousand years, the number of Heavenly Human Five Declines Great Venerate born in Central Earth might not be a hundred, but there should be dozens, right?

However, among them, only three actually reached the Virtuous Realm!

The difficulty of achieving merit is evident.

Second is the excitement; there was finally a clue about the Asura Saint Son.

He asked eagerly, "Could you please tell me who the sages are?"

Ice Heart Venerate grew more puzzled, feeling as if Wang Chongxiao was searching for someone.

Suppressing her confusion, she answered:

"They are Wan Yun Sage, Dragon Flame Sage, Tianluo Sage, Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable, and Jiuyou Demon Venerable."

Jiang Fan was secretly excited; the Asura Saint Son was among these five people!

No, one had to be excluded.

That would be Dragon Flame Sage.

If I’m not mistaken, the owner of the Little Tiger’s family is Long Yan Venerable.

He later advanced to the Virtuous Realm.

The Dragon Flame Sage mentioned here should be him.

This Dragon Flame Sage became a Divinity Transformation Venerable in the Human Clan a thousand years ago.

So his suspicion is directly eliminated.

Next are Wan Yun Sage, Tianluo Sage, Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable, and Jiuyou Demon Venerable.

Judging by the names, the latter two should be sages from Buddhism and the Demon Race.

But this does not eliminate their suspicion.

Because Hua Xin once said, the Asura Saint Son originates from the Bloodthirsty Shura lineage.

Their best skills besides blood-sucking are hiding identities, to the extent that the Ancient Saints had not detected his existence.

So, it’s hard to say whether he disguised himself as a Human Clan, a Demon Race, or even hid in Buddhism.

It’s Jiang Fan’s first time being so close to the Asura Saint Son.

He hurriedly asked again, "Senior, do you know if there was a Heavenly Human Five Declines Great Venerate in the Taicang State who seized the luck of the entire state to enter the Virtuous Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Ice Heart Venerate felt a bit embarrassed but still said:

"Of course, I know."

"I have also been to Taicang State to observe the local luck and see if it’s possible to replicate the path of that sage."

"But I was stopped by the Great Wine Sacrifice."

Oh?

Jiang Fan was puzzled, Ice Heart Venerate had been to Taicang State?

When did this happen?

However, that was not the question he should be asking.

With a hint of anticipation in his eyes, he said, "Which one of the aforementioned was that Great Venerate?"

Ice Heart Venerate replied, "How would I know?"

"Entering the Virtuous through luck is not an honorable deed; that Great Sage would naturally conceal the past."

"Moreover, it happened several hundred years ago; most of those aware of it have already fallen, and few know of it now."

Jiang Fan felt deeply regretful.

He was so close to exposing the Asura Saint Son.

Still, today’s gains were not insignificant.

At least he narrowed it down to four people.

Upon returning to Taicang State, he’ll slowly inquire about the four sages’ circumstances to see if there are any clues.

Whoosh—

An invisible fluctuation suddenly swept out from a crack.

It was shapeless and invisible.

But wherever it passed, the Hell Creatures crowded at the entrance of the crack.

Regardless of whether they were at the Nascent Soul Realm or hiding among them at the Divinity Transformation Realm.

They all scattered like sand sculptures.

Ice Heart Venerate’s expression changed slightly; she waved her sleeve to envelop everyone and retreated, her beautiful face showing a solemn look:

"It’s the fluctuation of rules!"

"The Great Wine Sacrifice and some existence are battling in the interlayer world!"

Jiang Fan drew a cold breath.

He wondered why the Great Wine Sacrifice failed to seal a gap.

It turned out there was a terrifying existence in the interlayer world.

They retreated to the horizon, and what they saw was an endless sea of Hell Creatures, half of whom had been cleared out completely.

All of them scattered like sand, leaving no remains.

This frightened the Hell Creatures that barely escaped, making them dare not approach the gap again.

They turned around and charged at Jiang Fan and the others.

After finally driving them to this point, due to the rule fluctuation in the interlayer world, it was all in vain.

Jiang Fan was slightly annoyed, "It must be that terrifying existence inside that noticed the Hell Creatures retreating and thus made a move."

His gaze flashed, and he quietly took out the Hell Soul Bell, hid it in his sleeve.

He shouted, "What are you all standing around for? Stop them quickly!"

The strong from various states rushed forward to attack.

Jiang Fan noticed that Ice Heart Venerate also made a move; only then did he, taking advantage of the battlefield’s noisy environment, shake the Hell Soul Bell.

The Hell Creatures, upon hearing the bell, turned around in panic and fled toward the crack.

This time, perhaps the Great Wine Sacrifice had entangled that terrifying being.

The other side could not make another move.

The Hell Creatures surged into the crack in droves.

Half a tea’s time later, all the Hell Creatures had dispersed.

The Hell Creatures of the East Road were cleared.

Jiang Wuya let out a long breath, a few traces of relief appearing on his face:

"I can’t believe it; so many Hell Creatures were driven back by us."

All the strong from various states showed some signs of relief.

Many had prepared themselves for the possibility of falling.

Unexpectedly, it ended up incredibly smoothly, except for one Fairy who fell at the beginning.

The reinforcements from various states suffered no other casualties.

It was truly a miracle.

Red Dust Venerable looked at her severed arm, feeling a bit disoriented.

The result turning out like this was beyond her imagination.

In thought, she cast her gaze toward the young and beautiful Ice Heart Venerate, her eyes filled with envy and respect.

With respect, she said, "Thanks to your blessing, our reinforcements from various states have made a great contribution."

"Please accept our bow of gratitude."

In her view, the only person capable of making the Hell Creatures flee should be this Venerate.

Upon hearing this, everyone gathered their spirits and bowed to Ice Heart Venerate in respect.

They had reaped significant rewards this time, earning many precious resources to exchange at Spiritual Snake Mountain.

It was right to express gratitude to Ice Heart Venerate.

Unexpectedly.

Ice Heart Venerate glanced meaningfully at Jiang Fan’s sleeve and then calmly said:

"No need to thank me."

"You all have your own blessings; this great victory has little to do with me."

"Wang Chongxiao performed well in this battle; let him say a few words to you all."

Everyone was greatly exhausted and fatigued.

Someone was needed to boost their spirit, so they could muster the energy to go support the Demon Race led by Golden Scale Venerate on the West Road.

The crowd looked at Jiang Fan, deeply impressed by this fierce fighter against Hell Creatures from Taicang State.

This person’s methods were diverse and extremely powerful.

The Hell Creatures he had slain probably weren’t fewer than those taken down by several Divinity Transformation Realm cultivators.

While adjusting their own states, they watched Jiang Fan, curious about what he would say.

Suddenly being named, Jiang Fan was taken aback.

What is there to say?

Just roll up your sleeves and get to work, that’s all.

Looking at everyone in their sorry state, he dazedly envisioned the imminent war between two worlds.

That battle would be far more brutal than now.

Thinking of this, he solemnly clasped his hands in salute to everyone and said in a low voice:

"Fellow Daoists of various states, today is our first and last time joining forces to resist foreign enemies."

The unexpected topic made everyone’s expressions momentarily pause.

Clearly, they understood Jiang Fan’s implication.

Their actions couldn’t help but slow down, silently listening to Jiang Fan’s words.
