Chapter 2161: Chapter 2205: Tempering the Soul

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——

The sages of the Poisonous World arrived one after another. Under the scattered firelight, their faces appeared particularly solemn.

The Heavenly Poison Sage froze for a long while, then knelt down with a thud on the burning crimson ground.

"My tomes..." He lowered his head, white hair draping, exuding an indescribable sense of age.

The other sages also looked filled with sorrow.

This was not just the burning of tomes, but the accumulated legacy of the Poisonous World since ancient times.

A civilization they inherited till now, destined to inherit to the next generation.

Jiang Fan couldn’t help but ask, "Are these tomes irreplaceable?"

Logically speaking, the sages should have many important tomes on them, not to the extent that the destruction of a library leads to the end of civilization.

A sage bitterly said, "Our own Poison Path heritage naturally is on us."

"But, the Poison Path heritage here exceeds our generation’s alone."

Jiang Fan realized.

There are differences even between Poison Paths.

The lineage here of countless Poisonous World ancestors, had no inheritor, let alone storage in any carrier.

Now destroyed, it’s completely wiped from the world.

The Poisonous World can’t be said to have a civilizational fracture, but at least it’s a great decline.

The consequences of the library being burned might be more severe than the loss of a dozen sages.

The Three Calamities Realm woman also had a grave face, closed her eyes, and sighed:

"We are ashamed as sages..."

The others too blamed themselves.

If the Poisonous World can weather the Dark Tide, it will leave a heavy mark in future history.

The civilization of the Poisonous World, numerous splendid and prosperous lineages, severed in their generation.

They are the criminals of the Poisonous World.

Jiang Fan stroked his chin, hesitated for a moment, then said, "I might be able to restore your tomes."

Hmm?

The Heavenly Poison Sage slightly raised his head, showing a puzzled expression.

Even the Three Calamities Realm woman glanced over, pondering: "Are you practicing the Time Path?"

"No, the Time Path is useless."

Laws like time reversal, to reverse such a long span of time, require Three Calamities Realm capability.

Jiang Fan isn’t even a sage.

Jiang Fan offered no explanation, the fewer who knew about the Ancestor Path, the better.

He closed his eyes, activated the Fifth Domain, and as ripples swept out, the ash-like remnants of endless words appeared in his mind.

How many tomes were there here?

To say millions is an understatement, the abundance comparable to an ocean.

How could Jiang Fan’s soul bear so much knowledge?

In mere moments, his soul expanded dramatically, on the verge of bursting.

Jiang Fan was secretly startled, he had underestimated the civilization of the Poisonous World!

On the brink of his soul shattering, he decisively cut off his domain, his face as pale as paper, with trickles of blood in his eye sockets, his body drenched in sweat.

At this moment, his mind was immensely swollen.

Yet he endured the discomfort, placing a Jade Scroll on his forehead, imprinting the information within.

"About fifty percent." Jiang Fan tossed it to the Heavenly Poison Sage.

The latter took it uncertainly, and upon a glance inside, immediately saw several familiar tomes he once read.

He jumped up in shock, overjoyed: "They’re back, truly back!"

The Three Calamities Realm woman instantly moved and snatched the Jade Scroll to inspect, her eyes filled with deep astonishment: "A portion truly returned."

She looked towards Jiang Fan, deep suspicion flickering in her profound eyes.

What kind of heaven-defying domain is this?

That it could restore original texts from ashes?

Putting away the Jade Scroll, she closed her eyes, communicating with something within the Saint Realm.

Soon after, a colorful bottle descended from the depths of the sky, suspended before the woman.

Inside the bottle were a few fresh, emerald-green willow branches, from which faint and pure soul power wafted out.

The woman took out a willow branch, sprinkling a splash of clear water onto Jiang Fan.

In an instant, the swelling in Jiang Fan’s mind subsided, his clarity restored.

The surrounding sages showed alarm, while the Heavenly Poison Sage directly exclaimed:

"The Saint’s World Artifact, the Five-Colored Soul Purification Bottle!"

"Even if the soul becomes mottled fragments, as long as it hasn’t dissipated, it can be restored!"

"Even the Saints never used it on us..."

The crowd’s gaze towards Jiang Fan bore a hint of envy, yet it was limited to just envy.

Jiang Fan had suffered soul damage to restore their Poisonous World’s destroyed civilization, so what if the World Artifact was used on him?

Jiang Fan was also quite surprised.

The Saints were alarmed, even lent a World Artifact!

But, since a Saint’s World Artifact was aiding him, the task ahead would be easier.

He once again activated the domain, and another massive stream of information surged into his mind, stretching his soul to the brink of explosion.

But, he clearly sensed, this time his soul’s endurance seemed stronger!

He recalled the state during his Body Refinement training.

Surpassing the limit pressure was what allowed the Physique to transcend.

Now, he was restoring a medium world’s civilization spanning millennia, the pressure on his soul was catastrophic.

Yet, under the effect of the Five-Colored Soul Purification Bottle, his soul could recover at the edge of destruction.

This gave birth to a bold idea within him.

Since the Five-Colored Soul Purification Bottle could repair even fragmented soul specks.

Then... why not push the limits?

Clenching his teeth, he bore the soul-wrenching pain, allowing more and more information to flood into him.

The woman’s face changed slightly, shouting: "Stop, your soul can’t sustain it!"

Jiang Fan seemed oblivious, continuing to absorb more information.

Finally, in the next moment, his soul burst on the spot!

The woman was startled, quickly sprinkling another droplet of clear water on Jiang Fan.

The already torn-apart soul narrowly reconnected.

"Are you crazy?" the woman scolded, "If you die here in our Poisonous World, how do we explain it to your Central Earth?"

Jiang Fan’s mind held residual pain, but his face was all smiles.

Because, his Soul Power grew stronger yet again.

Taking out a Jade Scroll, he replicated all the information, then once more activated the Fifth Domain, saying: "Continue!"

This time, he continued to receive unlimited knowledge without hesitation.

The woman finally understood, chuckling in exasperation: "This guy, he’s actually using our Saint’s World Artifact to refine his soul!"

"I don’t know if he’s too crazy, or I’m outdated."

Such a life-threatening training method deeply shocked her.

Back when she was in the Divinity Transformation Realm, she certainly didn’t have such courage.

Watching Jiang Fan’s soul about to burst once more, she sighed slightly:

"I thought, a Marquis emerging from a dead for millennia Daqian Divine Kingdom was just a joke."

"Now I see, the marquises of the Daqian Divine Kingdom aren’t titled in vain!"

"Alright, let me give you a hand."

"Let’s see how far your soul can reach in the end!"
