Jiang Wang made a move, and Ye Nantian was tricked to death.

Su Ming, who was currently heading to the heaven-reaching pagoda, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Such a massive infusion of spiritual energy meant something must have happened on Chu Fan's end.

But the System didn't give him any prompts.

In other words, Chu Fan was currently receiving an Opportunity through Empowerment.

"System, how is Chu Fan doing? What will this Opportunity eventually turn into?"

[Due to previous interference, Chu Fan's Dantian has been destroyed.]

[The current Opportunity cannot be interfered with. According to calculations, Chu Fan's Dantian will be repaired. If any changes occur during this period, I will notify the Host immediately.]

"So that's how it is. I understand."

To be honest, Su Ming himself was startled.

He had previously interfered with Chu Fan's Cultivation of the Spirit Devouring Body Forging Art, but he didn't expect the final result of that interference would lead to the other party's Dantian being destroyed.

To repair the Dantian, one must rely on the 'reversing fate hun tian pill' and the spiritual energy of a Star Realm Cultivator.

Forget about the former; Su Ming didn't even have it himself.

As for the latter, anyone could guess who it was.

It had to be said that as a Master, Ye Nantian could be considered to have done everything humanly possible.

In the original work, Chu Fan was heavily injured; although it didn't reach the point of his Dantian being destroyed, it wasn't far off.

The other party also unhesitatingly gave up his own cultivation to restore him.

Under the Empowerment, Chu Fan not only successfully achieved a Breakthrough in his Realm, but because Star Power remained in his body, he far surpassed other Cultivators of the same Realm in the Nirvana Realm.

As for Ye Nantian's subsequent fate... apologies, the original author didn't write about him at all after that.

So Su Ming didn't know what would happen to Ye Nantian in the end.

But one thing had to be admitted: the spiritual energy of a Star Realm Cultivator was of immense help to him now.

Su Ming simply sat down to Cultivate on the spot and used the Time Acceleration Formation in front of Qu Xiangyang.

After sensing the Time Acceleration Formation, Qu Xiangyang was particularly shocked.

He had seen and experienced similar things, but whether in terms of cost or effect, they were far inferior to Su Ming's.

"It must have been given by his parents..." Qu Xiangyang thought to himself.

With Heavenly Dao Realm parents backing him, no matter how many incredible things happened to Su Ming, they could all be reasonably explained.

Seeing Su Ming enter a state of Cultivation again, with signs of an impending Breakthrough, Qu Xiangyang was once again shaken.

He remembered that when he first met Su Ming, the boy was only at the Fifth Layer of Longevity Realm.

When he saw him this morning, he had already reached the sixth layer.

Now, he was clearly on the verge of breaking through to the seventh layer.

This kind of cultivation speed would be terrifying even in the major powers of the Outer Void.

Not to mention this was the Qianyuan Continent, where the supply of resources was far inferior to the Outer Void.

Qu Xiangyang didn't dare to imagine what level of strength Su Ming would have now if he had been raised by his parents' side from birth.

"It is said that the Saints and Saintesses of great powers can step into the Void Realm before adulthood, and the talented ones can even reach the Creation Realm..."

At this thought, Qu Xiangyang felt a sense of sorrow.

It was the sorrow a Mortal feels for themselves after seeing a Genius.

He had worked hard for a hundred years and had only just touched the threshold of the Creation Realm.

Looking at Su Ming's momentum, stepping into the Creation Realm before adulthood seemed to be a foregone conclusion.

As for the subsequent Samsara Realm, Qu Xiangyang saw almost no hope.

Even among those peerless Geniuses and Prodigies in the Outer Void, none could step into this Realm before the age of a hundred.

Cultivation becomes millions of times harder the further one progresses.

As Su Ming's aura became increasingly stable, Qu Xiangyang knew that in at most another hour, he would step into the Seventh Layer of Longevity Realm.

Sixth layer in the morning, seventh layer in the afternoon—could he possibly break through to the eighth layer by evening?

If Su Ming could really do it, Qu Xiangyang had no doubt he could reach the Samsara Realm within a hundred years.

As for the main contributor to all this, he was still receiving Empowerment at the Three Saints Sect.

At this moment, Ye Nantian's cultivation had already dropped to the Nirvana Realm, yet he continued to pour spiritual energy into Chu Fan without stop.

He knew that if he continued, his Foundation would be damaged, and he might even have no hope of returning to the Star Realm in the future.

But he still refused to give up.

Right now, Chu Fan's Dantian was just a bit away from being restored; he absolutely could not give up here.

"Clap, clap, clap." Jiang Wang clapped his hands and slowly stepped into the room.

"Ye Nantian, your love for your disciple is truly moving. It's the first time I've seen a Star Realm Cultivator willing to go this far for a disciple."

Facing the sudden entry of Jiang Wang, Ye Nantian immediately roared: "What are you doing in here?!"

This was the most critical moment for repairing the Dantian; no outsider could be allowed to interfere.

Jiang Wang showed a mysterious smile and replied with an unfriendly tone: "What am I doing? Naturally, I'm helping you complete the repair of Chu Fan's Dantian..."

He slowly walked behind Ye Nantian and placed his hand on his shoulder.

Spiritual energy unique to the Demonic Path, filled with a cold and bloody aura, instantly surged into Ye Nantian's body.

Sensing this, Ye Nantian's eyes instantly widened: "You are from the Demonic..."

Before he could finish his words, they were stifled in his throat by Jiang Wang.

"Yes, I am from the Demonic Path. Let me introduce myself; my name is Jiang Wang."

"Don't get excited. If you let go now, won't your disciple's Dantian be completely ruined? Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you. Haven't you noticed that after my spiritual energy was injected, your disciple's condition has become more stable?"

Despite his intense resistance to the Demonic Path, Ye Nantian had to admit that Jiang Wang was right.

With the other party's help, Chu Fan's condition was indeed becoming more stable.

But could help from the Demonic Path really be accepted?

However, even if Ye Nantian wanted to resist now, he was powerless. Under Jiang Wang's control, the spiritual energy in Ye Nantian's body was surging toward Chu Fan's Dantian at an even more frantic speed.

"I haven't told you yet, have I?" Jiang Wang spoke again. "The reason your disciple became like this..."

Word by word, Jiang Wang described how he had picked up Chu Fan in the Northern Border, how he had tricked him into going to the ancient ruins to obtain the 'taotie feast spirit', how he had deceived Chu Fan's trust to make him voluntarily Cultivate the Spirit Devouring Body Forging Art, and how an accident ultimately led to his Dantian being destroyed.

Jiang Wang told Ye Nantian everything.

After listening to Jiang Wang's description, Ye Nantian felt despair in his heart. He never expected that Chu Fan's Dantian was destroyed because of a failed attempt to Cultivate a Demonic Technique.

"Ye Nantian, do you know? Chu Fan's Spirit Devouring Body Forging Art is only one step away, and the repair of his Dantian is also only one step away. And your life is the key to completing that step!"

"Go in peace. I will continue to nurture your disciple and make him a perfect pawn under my command, a pawn used to destroy your Righteous Path!"

As Jiang Wang changed the trajectory of the spiritual energy, Ye Nantian's life Origin was poured into Chu Fan's body along with his remaining spiritual energy.

They will be used to fill the gaps in Chu Fan's flawed Spirit Devouring Body Forging Art and his nearly repaired Dantian.

Under Jiang Wang's manipulation, Ye Nantian's death would be a grand sacrifice, free from any hint of conspiracy.

And he would recount Ye Nantian's last words to Chu Fan, helping him to continue growing.

"Perhaps I can provide a little guidance to make Chu Fan hate that Su Ming even more..."
