Chapter 8: The Supreme Soul in the Necklace!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for spending 100,000 Fortune Points in the lottery draw. You have obtained a Heaven-tier Divine Ability: Myriad Abyss Demon-Ascending Fist! Learn now? Yes/No?]

[Remaining Fortune Points:]

“Heaven-tier Divine Ability?!” Jiang Wang’s heart trembled as he immediately chose to learn it!

In an instant, countless great Dao mantras poured into his mind. Golden misty light swirled around his body. Within his consciousness, solemn and mighty voices echoed, followed by images of countless figures throwing punches in unison. He stared greedily at the scene, memorizing every single movement of those figures. The mantras, too, were etched deeply into his memory.

Moments later, the entire Myriad Abyss Demon-Ascending Fist was imprinted into the depths of his mind. Jiang Wang slowly opened his eyes, a dark gleam flashing through them. He clenched his fists as spiritual Qi lightly coiled around his palms. When the Divine Ability had been demonstrating in his mind, he had already gained some comprehension, faintly touching the threshold of the 1st stage Mysterious Spirit Realm in the Six Spirit Cultivation Realms.

“As expected of a Heaven-tier Divine Ability. Just by watching it once, I already gained so much insight,” Jiang Wang murmured.

Currently, the Jiang Clan only had two Heaven-tier Divine Abilities—one passed down through the clan, and the other left behind by his mother, Chu Yunwan. Due to his insufficient cultivation, Jiang Wang hadn’t been able to practice them yet.

He had originally planned to imprint the Myriad Abyss Demon-Ascending Fist to preserve it for the Jiang Clan. However, when he tried, he realized that only upon fully mastering it could he do so. Having only just entered the introductory stage, he was still far from mastery, so he had no choice but to give up.

But the fact that he could already begin learning a Heaven-tier Divine Ability with just one glance clearly demonstrated Jiang Wang’s extraordinary Talent!

Seeing that he had only 10,000 Fortune Points left, he frowned slightly. “Looks like I’ll still need to squeeze more out of Ye Fan.”

“I recall that in my past life, around this time, Ye Fan went out and found a Profound Flame Dao Fruit. He consumed it with the Nine Yang Mystic Herb, forging his body into the Nine-Flame Profound Physique. From then on, he never struggled to endure the power of the Immortal Bone again!”

“If I seize the Profound Flame Dao Fruit first, wouldn’t that earn me another batch of Fortune Points?”

Thinking this, his eyes gradually lit up. “That’s it!”

“It should happen in the next few days—I need to keep a close eye on Ye Fan!”

With that thought, he summoned an immortal servant and whispered a few instructions. The servant nodded and respectfully retreated. Only then did Jiang Wang feel reassured.

Elsewhere, Ye Fan learned that Li Qingxuan hadn’t brought the Immortal Bone and Spirit Pills, and he couldn’t hide his disappointment. His expression made Li Qingxuan feel even more guilty.

“Brother Ye Fan, I…” she began.

“Sister Qingxuan, don’t feel guilty. It’s not your fault,” Ye Fan said gently. “Let me rest alone for a while.”

“Alright then…” Li Qingxuan hesitated, but still turned to leave, thoughtfully closing the door behind her.

Once the room quieted, Ye Fan’s gaze turned cold and venomous. “Jiang Wang, the hatred of having my bone dug out… is irreconcilable. One day, I’ll make you feel the pain of having your bone and heart ripped out!”

Just as he was thinking about how to take revenge, the simple necklace on his neck suddenly emitted a dim gray light. At the same time, an ancient voice echoed in his mind!

“The criteria for choosing a master for this Soul-Binding Necklace are getting lower and lower! This lifetime, it actually picked a cripple for me!”

“Who’s speaking?!” The sudden voice startled Ye Fan. He looked around warily, body tense.

“Junior, don’t panic. I am the Supreme Xuanming. My physical body was destroyed, and my soul has slumbered in this Soul-Binding Necklace for a thousand years!” the aged voice came again.

Ye Fan instinctively looked down at the necklace on his neck. It was the only thing on him that could possibly be the so-called Soul-Binding Necklace.

“If senior has been asleep in this necklace… how did you awaken?” Though he barely accepted the explanation, Ye Fan remained alert.

“Hmph, naturally it was your blood that dripped onto the necklace and awakened my soul!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan suddenly recalled the blood he lost after his Immortal Bone was dug out. It must have been then that he awakened Supreme Xuanming.

“Fine, fine! Since you’ve awakened me, it’s fate. I won’t promise anything else, but helping you become a Supreme is within my ability!”

“Help me become a Supreme?” Ye Fan’s eyes lit up briefly, but quickly dimmed. “Senior must be joking. I’m just a cripple now. How could I ever become a Supreme?”

“I see a Dao injury in your body. How did you get hurt so badly?” Supreme Xuanming asked, unable to hold back his curiosity.

Ye Fan chuckled bitterly. “Naturally, it’s because my innate Supreme Immortal Bone was forcibly dug out.”

“What!” Supreme Xuanming was shocked!

An innate Supreme Immortal Bone was a blessing bestowed by the Dao—someone who could suppress all others of their era! Correspondingly, losing it was an act of defiance against the Dao itself, and the possessor would suffer a Dao injury, turning into a cripple!

“The Soul-Binding Necklace truly doesn’t choose ordinary people!” Supreme Xuanming exclaimed with joy.

Ye Fan was speechless. He said irritably, “So what if I had the Immortal Bone? It’s already been dug out. I’m still a cripple now!”

“Hahaha! Junior, don’t underestimate yourself! With your knowledge, of course you don’t know how to repair such an injury. But I used to be a Supreme expert!”

“This Dao injury, while troublesome, is not entirely irreparable!”

Hearing this, Ye Fan felt as though he had glimpsed light in the darkness. He immediately said, “Please guide me, senior!”

Inside the Soul-Binding Necklace, the soul of Supreme Xuanming stroked his beard and said slowly, “The Immortal Domain is divided into eight great provinces: Heaven, Earth, Mystical, Yellow, Universe, and Desolation. A thousand years ago, I once found a Profound Flame Dao Tree in a hidden blessed land within Mystical Province.”

“This Profound Flame Dao Tree bears fruit once every thousand years. Its fruit can heal Dao injuries. By my calculations, it should bear fruit in just over a month!”

“You must go and retrieve the Profound Flame Dao Fruit! That way, your Dao injury can be healed. Not only that, but your strength will also improve significantly. In time, the one who stole your bone will pay a heavy price!”

Though Ye Fan was excited by the news, he didn’t lose his reason. He cautiously asked, “Senior, for you to tell me such valuable information, what do you want in return?”

Supreme Xuanming laughed heartily, “I like clever juniors like you!”

“Indeed, I do have a condition. Once you become a Supreme, you must help me reconstruct my body. I have old grudges yet to be avenged, and by then, I will need your help!”

Ye Fan frowned and thought for a while. This condition was difficult. Rebuilding a body wasn’t a big issue, but this Supreme’s enemy… if he was a Supreme a thousand years ago, wouldn’t he be even stronger now?

Still, he nodded. “Alright! I accept!”

Supreme Xuanming chuckled as he stroked his beard. “You’re quite sensible, junior. In the coming days, use the medicinal power within you to recover as much as you can. Ten days from now, the two of us shall set off for Mystical Province!”
