Supreme Emptiness

Xiang Zhenyuan's eyebrows slightly arched.

He whispered: "Sister, focus on your own cultivation."

"Do not compete with him."

He felt speechless toward his proud junior sister.

Why care about others having a dominant mental method?

As long as you can breakthrough to the Ninth Layer of Core Formation, wouldn't that be sufficient?

Gui Fengyin formed seals with her hands and displayed a high-tier mental method of the Void Dimension.

She said confidently: "I'm fighting for the pride of Void Dimension."

"Besides, it's just a comparison of mental methods, not a martial arts battle."

"Don't worry."

Xiang Zhenyuan felt helpless.

He could only say: "Then be cautious, I think this person is about to breakthrough."

"Do not interfere with him."

Interfering with one's breakthrough is a major taboo.

If by any chance it leads to failure or even a loss of mind, the grudge would be immense.

"Rest assured, I know the limit."

Gui Fengyin's high-tier mental method was already begun.

Suddenly.

The Spirit Pond seemed to have a second opening.

Part of the spiritual energy flowing towards Jiang Fan was turning towards Gui Fengyin.

And as her cultivation technique accelerated, the returning spiritual energy increased.

At this moment.

It was precisely the time for Jiang Fan's breakthrough.

The Void Ancient Tree was gathering more spiritual energy, preparing for the breakthrough.

Suddenly sensing someone recklessly seizing spiritual energy, affecting the gathering of spiritual energy.

It immediately responded.

The roots anchored in the void became slightly more earnest.

With a gentle inhale.

All of a sudden.

All spiritual energy in the Spirit Pond was absorbed around Jiang Fan.

The spiritual energy condensed into liquefied pink spiritual rain, dripping onto Jiang Fan's head.

The spiritual liquid that fell into the pond barely reformed into spiritual energy before being absorbed by the roots.

Repetition ensued.

Forming a strange spectacle.

Jiang Fan had an abundance of spiritual energy, never running out.

While the surroundings... had none at all.

Gui Fengyin's lips just curved into a proud smile, she widened her eyes suddenly.

She stared at the strange phenomenon before her.

And again looked at the surroundings devoid of spiritual energy.

Aghast.

"Senior brother, what is happening?"

"Could he be using Taicang State's number one mental method, 'Sutra of Mahakala'?"

Xiang Zhenyuan was equally astonished, shaking his head:

"No."

"'Sutra of Mahakala' can't absorb surrounding spiritual energy into spiritual rain!"

"You shouldn't have provoked him, Gui."

A mental method cultivated to be this imperious and outstanding, how could he be of simple status?

Gui Fengyin's previous actions undoubtedly offended him.

That's why he absorbed all the spiritual energy from the pond, leaving none for Gui Fengyin.

It's hard to come to the East Sea, and the master had to sell favors to gain the opportunity, which could be wasted.

Gui Fengyin bit her lips lightly.

While the spiritual energy was indeed flowing towards Jiang Fan, the remaining spiritual energy was still enough for her use.

Now it's come to this, he retaliated, not leaving her with any usable spiritual energy.

Unwillingly, she once again used a high-tier mental method, trying to recover some spiritual energy.

But to no avail.

The spiritual energy around her was even less than what was in the seawater.

This was forcing her out of the Spirit Pond.

Xiang Zhenyuan felt helpless, he could only sternly say: "Sir, please show mercy."

"My junior sister acted on a whim, only wanting to compete with you, without malice."

"Please forgive her once."

Jiang Fan slept deeply, how could he hear his words?

And the Void Ancient Tree could not understand either.

Continuing to create the spiritual rain cycle.

Still being ignored, Xiang Zhenyuan felt a loss of face.

Just had to present his identity.

"I am from the Void Dimension, disciple of Dream Suppressing Tower, Xiang Zhenyuan."

"Dare to ask which Divine Sect progeny you are?"

Yet, the reply he received was still silence.

Xiang Zhenyuan felt slightly displeased in his heart.

Isn't this person too arrogant?

Completely treating them like air?

Yet knowing they were in the wrong first, he could not say anything, he told Gui Fengyin:

"Sister, come up first."

"Wait for him to finish his cultivation, then go back in."

Such a stalemate was pointless.

Just had to have her take a step back.

To prevent disharmony.

"Why should I?" Gui Fengyin gritted her teeth, looking utterly humiliated.

She was the most promising prodigy of Void Dimension.

In a place like the East Sea, she had to concede?

She glared at Jiang Fan basking under the spiritual rain, saying: "I'm not leaving!"

"I'll wait until he breaks through the Jiedan Eighth Layer, then I'll drive him out!"

Asking her to retreat, that was impossible!

Xiang Zhenyuan also felt helpless.

The junior sister's personality was like this, no one could persuade her.

After looking closely, confirming Jiang Fan was merely at the Seventh Level of Core Formation, even after a breakthrough, it would only be the Eighth Layer.

He nodded saying: "Alright then."

"But don't be too heavy-handed."

"If this person is some important guest, injuring him would be bad."

In terms of his junior sister's strength, Xiang Zhenyuan was confident.

Within the Eighth Layer of Core Formation, few were her match.

This person just broke through to the Jiedan Eighth Layer, would certainly not be a match.

Shortly.

Jiang Fan's breakthrough arrived as expected.

A mass of spiritual rain poured into his body, causing the Golden Core to expand rapidly.

Finally.

After reaching a certain critical point.

With a soft bang.

The Golden Core suddenly enlarged.

The mighty aura emanated out, shaking the spiritual rain back into mist.

Jiang Fan finally awoke.

But still, his eyes were unfocused, filled with a drunken haze.

Not yet understanding what happened.

A cold snort sounded by his ear: "Finally broke through!"

"Now it doesn't count as a hindrance to your cultivation, right?"

"Come! Let's see the real deal under our hands!"

"Dare to bully someone so tyrannically, surely your skills aren't lacking?"

Gui Fengyin couldn't wait to act.

The first move was a middling Earth-level cultivation technique with considerable power.

In such a remote place, an Earth-level middling technique was undoubtedly the strongest presence.

Xiang Zhenyuan watched in shock and shouted:

"Sister, be gentle!"

"If you hurt someone, the master won't forgive you!"

Gui Fengyin snorted: "What's there to fear?"

"His mental method is so fierce, how could his combat techniques be weak?"

Speaking.

A punch was already thrown.

Rays of crimson light swirled around her fist.

Coupled with her strong cultivation at the Eighth Layer.

This strike, under the Ninth Layer of Core Formation, wouldn't stand a chance.

Jiang Fan was still in a daze.

Vaguely feeling someone wanted to attack him.

Without thinking, he struck back.

Casually throwing two punches.

A golden divine statue suddenly appeared behind him.

Four golden fists were thrown simultaneously.

Gui Fengyin, who had been filled with provocation, felt the unstoppable force coming at her.

Was dumbfounded at the scene.

"What... what level of technique is this?"

The next moment.

She felt a powerful force overwhelming her.

Her frail body instantly spun like a fallen leaf in a gale, being blasted away.

"Sister!"

The circumstances happened too suddenly.

Xiang Zhenyuan wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

This strike bore the power of the Ninth Layer.

How could the sister withstand it?

Hurriedly chasing.

He caught Gui Fengyin before she landed, avoiding further injury.

Poof—

Even so, Gui Fengyin couldn't hold back a mouthful of blood.

Splattering Xiang Zhenyuan's face.

"Sister!" Xiang Zhenyuan was startled.

The force of that punch was so tyrannical?

Quickly administering her a healing pill to stabilize her injuries.

Then glaring at Jiang Fan with a complaint.

"Your strike was rather heavy-handed, wasn't it?"
