Chapter 2306: Chapter 2354: Guidance Plan

Jiang Fan smiled faintly. "Deal."

Once they reached the Five Magnet Immortal Mountain, how could he be satisfied with just a few mere stones? Between the East Emperor and the West Empress, one had tried to kill him twice, while the other had reneged on her debt. It was perfectly reasonable to take their World Embryo as compensation, wasn’t it?

The West Empress gave a sly smile as well. She tore open the world barrier and led Jiang Fan into the Northern Heavenly State.

A rich, holy energy washed over them. The sky was a clear blue, dotted with jade-green clouds, and a gentle breeze caressed their faces. Wisps of Holy Light painted a picturesque scene across the vast, boundless ancient Continent. Looking into the distance, snow-white cities floated in the mirror-like sky like late-summer cotton balls. Even though he had imagined the beauty of the Northern Heavenly State, the magnificent sight before him still left him slightly mesmerized.

"What a Heavenly Holy Country. It certainly lives up to the name of the Heavenly Realm," Jiang Fan murmured.

Compared to the Southern Heavenly Realm, which had been occupied by Ancient Giants for tens of thousands of years, the Northern Heavenly State retained the original appearance of the Heavenly Realm from back then.

The West Empress was accustomed to this reaction. Everyone who visited the Northern Heavenly State for the first time marveled at it.

She said mildly, "Take a good look if you like it. Perhaps it will be destroyed in the Dark Tide.

"Or maybe it will collapse in the impending turmoil of the heavens.

"Only God knows which will come first: tomorrow or an accident."

Jiang Fan glanced at her, noticing that the girlish liveliness in her eyes had faded a bit, replaced by a touch of maturity. Her personality seemed to be quietly shifting.

He was somewhat curious. What exactly was going on with the West Empress’s personality? Was it one soul with two personalities? Or did she possess two souls, just like Chen Silin?

WHOOSH.

The West Empress flapped her now-transparent wings, transforming into a golden arc between heaven and earth before vanishing completely without a trace.

A short while later, in the center of the Northern Heavenly State.

A resplendent Golden Holy City hovered high in the sky. Behind the city stood a snow-white mountain that towered over the land and pierced the clouds.

Only after getting closer did Jiang Fan realize that it was not a mountain at all. It was a massive Angel Statue that reached down to the earth and up to the top of the firmament, almost piercing through the upper and lower world barriers. It was incredibly heavy, pressing down on the boundless Continent so much that it tilted, forming an unimaginably massive crater.

Astonished, Jiang Fan asked tentatively, "This statue isn’t just for decoration, is it?"

The West Empress rolled her eyes at him. "It’s a heavy weapon to deal with the Dark Tide."

The Dark Tide again.

Jiang Fan’s brows knitted together. Considering that the Northern Heavenly State had inherited the legacy of the former Heavenly Realm, its foundation was extraordinarily profound. He couldn’t help but ask curiously, "What exactly is the Dark Tide?"

The West Empress giggled. "You want to know? Add another furnace of pills."

Jiang Fan rolled his eyes back at her and ignored her, flying straight toward the Golden Holy City.

The West Empress chuckled and flapped her wings to catch up. "The Dark Tide... it’s very simple.

"It is an artificially triggered path to becoming a god."

RUMBLE.

Several claps of thunder exploded deep within the sky, shaking the entire Northern Heavenly State.

The West Empress grunted softly as blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. She looked up at the sky, her eyes filled with stubbornness. "You won’t even let me speak?"

Even so, she didn’t dare to elaborate further.

Jiang Fan’s heart was trembling with absolute shock. The path to becoming a god? The ultimate goal of the Daqian Crown Prince in triggering the Dark Tide was actually to become a god? This answer was simply too earth-shattering.

The West Empress wiped the blood from her mouth and said, "I can’t say any more.

"If you want to know exactly how the Dark Tide will break out, take a trip to the Divine Capital when you have the time.

"Perhaps you’ll have the chance to witness the existence of the Dark Tide with your own eyes."

After saying this, she grabbed Jiang Fan and teleported them to the western part of the Holy City. Before them stood a peculiar palace that was half elegantly chic and half warmly romantic.

As soon as they landed, a Six-winged Archangel in a floral dress excitedly rushed forward to greet them. "West Empress, you’ve finally returned!"

The West Empress raised an eyebrow, scanning the West Saint Palace that belonged to her. "Where is everyone? Why are you the only one guarding the palace?"

The Six-winged Archangel replied respectfully, "To answer the West Empress, the Great Angels are currently guiding the Angel Leaders in their cultivation."

The West Empress suddenly understood. "Oh, right! I almost forgot. This is the plan the East Emperor and I jointly implemented before I left the Northern Heavenly State.

"Whoever guides their Angel Leader to the greatest improvement in cultivation will even receive a portion of the Holy Angel’s Tai Chu Power."

Huh?

Jiang Fan looked at the West Empress in astonishment, doubting his own ears. Tai Chu Power was a force that only those in the Saint Realm possessed. He had proven his path as an Ancestor Dao Sage, and the reason he was able to hunt down the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis was entirely due to that battle axe formed from Tai Chu Power.

How could the Northern Heavenly State possibly use Tai Chu Power as a prize? Was that even possible?

Noticing Jiang Fan’s strange gaze, the West Empress shrugged. "Don’t overthink it. That Tai Chu Power has been diluted countless times."

Jiang Fan gave a slight nod. That made sense. If the Northern Heavenly State truly possessed undiluted Tai Chu Power, why would they fear the descent of the Ancient Dark Creatures every thousand years?

Just as he was losing interest, the West Empress added, "However, no matter how diluted it is, Tai Chu Power remains extraordinarily profound.

"It can evolve into any force between heaven and earth.

"Soul Power, Physical Power, Five Elements Power, and even the Power of Laws used by our Angel Clan and your Human Clan—it can become any of them."

The concept of "Tai Chu" meant the very beginning. All forces in the world had evolved from this primordial power.

Jiang Fan’s heart skipped a beat. If he could obtain this wisp of Tai Chu Power and completely evolve it into the laws required by the Tai Chu Prison Sky Gourd, wouldn’t he be able to achieve his goal in one fell swoop and ignite the ultimate Blue Gourd?

Once the Blue Gourd was unleashed, even a Saint would have to retreat. If it were truly ignited, he could easily capture another Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis!

Seeing through his thoughts, the West Empress’s beautiful eyes flashed. "This plan only permits the participation of Great Angels from our Northern Heavenly State.

"But since fate brought us together, I’ll make an exception and allow you to join.

"You may freely select an Angel Leader from my Northern Heavenly State to instruct. A month from now, whichever Angel Leader makes the greatest progress, their instructor will receive the Tai Chu Power as a reward."

This plan had been proposed against the backdrop of the Northern Heavenly State’s urgent need to improve its strength after being ravaged by Ancient Dark Creatures. As someone from the Divine Capital, if Young Master Fan could mentor a formidable Prodigy for the Northern Heavenly State, it would be a blessing for their realm.

As for handing the Tai Chu Power over to an outsider...

She had conveniently forgotten to remind Jiang Fan that this wisp of Tai Chu Power, which originated from a Holy Angel, could only be borne by someone with an Angel Bloodline. How could Jiang Fan, a member of the Human Clan, possibly possess an Angel Bloodline?

Therefore, Jiang Fan was destined to serve as free labor for once.

Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered secretly. Was this wretched woman really that kind-hearted? She most likely had some trap waiting for him to jump into.

However, this suited him perfectly. Aside from the reward, he could also use this opportunity to get closer to Xia Chaoge. Moreover, the massive amount of Angel Holy Blood he had prepared for Xia Chaoge could finally be put to use.

Jiang Fan feigned contemplation and said, "Since the West Empress has invited me, I’ll give it a try.

"I wonder which Angel Leaders in your realm require instruction?"

The West Empress smiled faintly. With a swipe of her fingertip, the portraits of nearly fifty Angel Leaders hovered uniformly in midair.

Jiang Fan scanned them one by one until his gaze suddenly fixed on the one right in the center. An indifferent face with long black hair, showing neither joy nor sorrow, entered his vision.

Jiang Fan secretly clenched his fists, murmuring in his heart, "Found you, Chaoge."
