In just the span of a breath, the secret chamber became completely barren.
The force of the sudden spatial power pulled Ice Heart Venerate next to the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod.
With a quick glance, she was startled to find that the bottom was pitch black, connected to the void.
Fortunately, her strength was extraordinary, allowing her to forcibly stabilize herself.
With a wave of her hand, a splendid radiance blocked the cauldron.
Only then did the suction power dissipate.
The lid of the cauldron also closed automatically.
Jiang Fan, who was trying to slip away, cautiously returned after sensing the crisis had passed.
Seeing Ice Heart Venerate with disheveled hair and untidy clothes, Jiang Fan apprehensively asked:
"Senior, are you alright?"
Ice Heart Venerate chuckled in anger and said, "I’m fine, though I didn’t slip away as quickly as you, I’m still alive!"
She was truly impressed by Jiang Fan.
Causing trouble and escaping so swiftly in one go.
Jiang Fan scratched his head with an embarrassed smile: "I didn’t expect this Pill Furnace to connect to the void, it’s so dangerous."
He anticipated some accidents, but who would have thought the bottom of the furnace was empty?
Thankfully, Ice Heart Venerate was here to hold down the fort.
If it were anyone else, they might have been sucked into the void, eternally exiled.
Ice Heart Venerate shot a glance at Jiang Fan which, even so, felt soft and gentle.
As if she couldn’t genuinely get angry.
In this regard, she bore some resemblance to Fairy Yun Shang.
However, due to her youth, she possessed a bit more youthful vibrance than Fairy Yun Shang.
She gazed at the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod, pondering: "Though it’s clearly a Pill Furnace, why is it connecting to the void?"
Jiang Fan was also puzzled.
The Forgetful Wild Elder left it in the Nascent Soul Cave Mansion, clearly stating it was for the destined one.
But such a cauldron connecting to the void would only harm people, wouldn’t it?
It shouldn’t be this way.
Additionally, the last time, the Forgetful Wild Elder didn’t warn him of the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod’s dangers.
Could it be that getting sucked into the void via the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod was intentional by the Forgetful Wild Elder?
Thinking of this, he decided to open it again and venture into the void for a look.
To ensure absolute safety, he turned and looked at Ice Heart Venerate, saying:
"Senior, I would like your help with something."
He shared his thoughts with her.
Ice Heart Venerate was slightly enlightened:
"So, it belongs to Forgetful Wild Elder’s treasure, though I still don’t know what kind of person he is."
"But for a Great Venerate on the path of Heavenly Human Five Declines, it’s not worthwhile to use his top-grade spiritual artifact to harm a junior."
"Perhaps, there really is some secret within the void of the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod."
"But the void is dangerous, and if you get pulled in, I may not have a way to pull you back."
She turned worried.
Feeling that Jiang Fan’s venture into the void could be a bit too risky.
Jiang Fan took out two purple jade rings, one large and one small.
He handed the smaller one to Ice Heart Venerate, saying, "These are a pair of jade rings."
"Once worn, the distance between them can’t exceed a thousand feet."
"In this way, I don’t have to worry about being swept away once I’m in the void."
Ice Heart Venerate hesitated momentarily before accepting the jade ring.
She looked at Jiang Fan, then at the ring.
Her red lips pressed slightly before she nodded: "Alright."
She slipped the jade ring onto her wrist, transforming it into a purple circle of light that merged into her wrist.
Jiang Fan expressed gratitude and slipped the larger jade ring onto his wrist.
This way, as long as Ice Heart Venerate steps back a thousand feet, she could forcibly pull Jiang Fan back from the void.
He took a deep breath and once again maneuvered the cauldron with his soul power, shifting it aside.
