Chapter 1331: Chapter 1344: Guidance
Jiang Fan’s heart skipped a beat.
Was there any trace left at the scene back then?
With a hint of unease, he silently followed Venerate Xinnie away.
They first arrived at the Great Yin Sect.
"Greetings, Jiang Sect Master!" Upon hearing of Jiang Fan’s arrival, Feng Yuan Sect pushed past everyone and rushed forward to greet him.
Jiang Fan surveyed the recently maintained Mountain Protection Array and various equipment for resisting Ancient Giants.
He couldn’t help but feel secretly ashamed.
Although he was the Great Yin Sect Master, he had always managed things hands-off.
Unexpectedly, the Great Yin Sect was well-governed on its own.
"It seems that without me, the Great Yin Sect can still run smoothly." Jiang Fan felt embarrassed to give orders.
Feng Yuan Sect bowed and quickly said:
"Jiang Sect Master, please don’t say that!"
"Without your wise guidance, how could we turn over a new leaf and focus on resisting Ancient Giants?"
"Your farsightedness and great strategies are what keep the Great Yin Sect orderly!"
Uh!
Not only did Jiang Fan look at him with a strange face.
Even the people of the Great Yin Sect were wide-eyed in surprise.
"Is this our Junior Brother Feng?"
"If I remember correctly, Junior Brother Feng used to scold those who recognized Jiang Fan as the Sect Master."
"How did he become such a sycophant?"
"Is it hard to understand? If you had friends among the six Demon Venerable, Junior Brother Feng would treat you like his father!"
Jiang Fan was momentarily stunned, then said, "No need for such courtesy."
"If your Great Yin Sect can’t hold off the Ancient Giants, retreat to our Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."
After all, Heavenly Eye Sage had entrusted the Great Yin Sect to him.
If the Great Yin Sect truly faced difficulties, he couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
Feng Yuan Sect was overjoyed, with such a promise, the Great Yin Sect had an additional escape route.
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion now has an array capable of defending against a Venerable’s strike, along with valuable treasures gifted by several Venerables.
It was definitely safer than the Great Yin Sect!
"Thank you, Jiang Sect Master!"
Jiang Fan gently nodded and said, "I’m issuing an order now."
"Apart from the necessary disciples for warfare preparation, everyone else should disperse to find Wang Chongxiao."
Wang Chongxiao?
Feng Yuan Sect was puzzled, Venerate Xinnie had visited the Great Yin Sect several times looking for him.
Was he that important?
But for such a simple order, he was naturally willing to comply, "Yes, Sect Master!"
Jiang Fan’s gaze flickered, then he said, "Remember to visit the Three Divine Sects and Seven Great Sects, and all major and minor sects."
"And solemnly inform them that this is someone Venerate Xinnie is seeking; those who dare harbor him will bear the consequences!"
"Also, if found, immediately send him to Baima Temple Market!"
In his heart, Jiang Fan murmured:
"Green Pearl’s wife, I’ve even told you where Venerate Xinnie is."
"You better hurry up and save your husband!"
After giving instructions, Jiang Fan flew into the clouds.
Venerate Xinnie was very pleased with Jiang Fan’s performance, "I just like disciples who work hard."
"Take this."
He took out a Spirit Pill surrounded by thunderbolts, exuding strong spiritual pressure.
Jiang Fan’s pupils contracted as he said, "A Sixth Grade Spirit Pill?"
Such a level of Spirit Pill, he was currently not confident in refining; logically, his soul needed to reach the Venerable level to refine it.
Venerate Xinnie showed an expression of appreciation, "Good eye."
"This is a Sixth Grade Spirit Pill from Young Emperor Mountain, the Sky Breaking Pearl, effective for those at the late-stage Nascent Soul to break through."
"This pearl was initially meant for one of my eight-orifice Nascent Soul disciples to use to break through to the Nine Aperture Nascent Soul."
"Since you are my True Disciple, I’ll prioritize giving it to you."
Jiang Fan took it and said, "Thank you, Master."
Venerate Xinnie truly was as he said; though ruthless, even cruel beyond measure.
He was not unkind to his own people.
Venerate Xinnie swept up the clouds and headed to White Horse Temple, saying:
"Have you found your own path?"
Jiang Fan shook his head, "Not yet."
Venerate Xinnie stroked his beard and said, "Have you seen a meteor?"
He was actually trying to enlighten Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan hesitated for a moment, then sat cross-legged and said, "I have."
Venerate Xinnie asked, "Is it beautiful?"
Jiang Fan nodded, "Brilliant for an instant, dazzling with brilliance."
Venerate Xinnie gently nodded, "The Path of God Transformation is a meteor’s trajectory elevated to the extreme."
"Burning oneself out, exhausting one’s life, turning into a brilliant light streak across the vast earth."
"Without madness, there is no demon!"
Jiang Fan felt profoundly shaken.
It was the first time someone had explained the Path of God Transformation to him in such a manner.
This also coincided with his understanding of "madness".
The so-called madness is the result of pursuing something to its ultimate limit.
Like Shu Bu Xu’s stealing and Song Lingyu’s depression.
He pondered and said, "Then, how can I find my own path?"
The Heart Crystal had offered him many paths, but deep down, he wasn’t passionately pursuing any of them.
Without passion, how could he go mad or become crazed for it?
He believed that most Nine Aperture Nascent Souls got stuck in madness, unable to awaken.
Because they hastily chose a path.
If the madness isn’t deep enough, how can it rise to the extreme?
Venerate Xinnie said, "Look back on your journey; your path is within it."
Look back on his journey?
Jiang Fan closed his eyes, plunging into deep reflection.
His journey had been too long, too arduous.
Unwilling to be trapped in Lonely Boat City, he entered the Green Cloud Sect.
Soon after, the Demon Race invaded the Nine-Sect.
After defeating the Demon Race, he encountered his life’s great enemy, the Demon Emperor.
After slaying the Demon Emperor, he faced the cataclysm of Ancient Giants, up until today.
The countless hardships and life-and-death crises he faced were innumerable.
For a moment, Jiang Fan couldn’t figure out what had driven him along his path.
Venerate Xinnie glanced back at the deeply contemplative Jiang Fan.
He said, "The vast world is bustling, the allure of the mortal world distracts the heart."
"Think more about your original intention, perhaps you can find the answer."
He said no more, as a master, this was all he could do; ultimately, whether Jiang Fan could comprehend his own path depended on him.
Meanwhile.
At the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
True Word Venerable, having learned that Chen Jing had come to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, immediately rushed over.
"Venerable, Chen Jing is here."
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master had Chen Jing brought out.
True Word Venerable looked at Chen Jing’s severed wrist and the wounds all over, a trace of pain crossing her eyes.
She didn’t blame Jiang Fan.
She had heard about the battle between Chen Jing and Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan had shown mercy at every step, while Chen Jing used lethal attacks everywhere, almost killing Jiang Fan with madness in the end.
"Jiang Fan said I should redeem him?" True Word Venerable’s eyes held an indescribable emotion.
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master said, "Yes."
True Word Venerable woodenly nodded, gripping Chen Jing and saying:
"Fine!"
"For me, for Chen Jing."
"Between Jiang Fan and me, there needs to be a resolution."
"I’ll see him one more time, settle past grievances, and henceforth, we’ll be strangers!"
With a leap, she carried Chen Jing and headed to White Horse Temple.
Not long after.
The hurried Venerate Xinnie and Jiang Fan arrived near the market around White Horse Temple.
And went straight to the alley where Wang Chongxiao was rescued.
Jiang Fan’s heart hung in suspense and he said, "Master, after so much time has passed, can we still find any clues?"
Venerate Xinnie replied, "We always can."
"However, the cost required is too great, and I was reluctant to use it before."
"Now, some sacrifices must be made."
He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve that Jiang Fan was all too familiar with!
The Wish Paper from Hunyuan State!
