Chapter 2309: Chapter 2357: Descent of the Holy Angel

At that time, Jiang Fan was wholeheartedly creating a brand-new Poison Path, completely oblivious to the changes in the outside world.

As his comprehension of the Law deepened, his Heart Spirit gradually sank, as if slowly falling into a boundless Abyss. His consciousness was gradually shrouded in darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, a hollow THUD THUD echoed in his ears. Only then did his consciousness suddenly clear.

What greeted his eyes was actually a world of consciousness identical to that of the Void Ancient Tree!

This place was a land of deathly stillness. There was no Spiritual Energy and no life. As far as the eye could see, there was only yellow sand dancing wildly in the wind and dark brown rubble, looking just like the world when heaven and earth were first formed.

"Where is this? I was comprehending the Poison Path, so why would I appear here?" Jiang Fan was utterly bewildered.

THUD, THUD—

The eerie knocking sound rang out again. In this deathly still world, it sounded exceptionally clear.

Jiang Fan hesitated for a moment before his Heart Spirit followed the source of the sound. Not long after, he arrived before a stretch of ruins. Collapsed, crude stone houses were scattered everywhere, most of them buried beneath the yellow sand. Only a small portion of the walls and stone beams remained exposed.

"There were once living creatures here?" Jiang Fan asked in surprise.

He looked up. The ruins were boundless, stretching as far as the eye could see with no end in sight. It was impossible to estimate just how massive a race had once lived here.

Suddenly, he noticed a pitch-black shadow towering at the edge of the world.

THUD, THUD—

The knocking sound came again, originating precisely from that tall figure!

Jiang Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly, a sense of unease welling up within him. However, he was currently trapped deep within this mysterious consciousness and couldn’t escape even if he wanted to. His only option was to go forward and investigate. Taking a deep breath, he moved his consciousness forward.

The eerie black figure gradually became clear. It was a tree. A tall ancient tree that had already withered and died.

"Another tree?" Jiang Fan fell into deep thought.

Through his Newborn Domain, he had once pieced together an eerie image from the murals on the ruined walls of the Daqian Divine Kingdom’s Imperial Palace. In that image, the Daqian Divine Kingdom, which seemed to have shattered into millions of fragments, was held together and barely maintained by the roots of nine Heaven and Earth Divine Trees. One of them was the Void Divine Tree.

To his surprise, this Continent before him also possessed a bizarre Heaven and Earth Divine Tree.

At this moment, faint flashes of green fluorescence suddenly flickered across the trunk, branches, and leaves. Then, they vanished as quickly as they appeared. Like fireflies, they were exceptionally eye-catching in the dim world.

Jiang Fan peered closely, only to realize that the fluorescent lights resembled Runes, or perhaps some kind of ancient text. He tried to lean in closer.

But suddenly, his pupils contracted. He realized something was moving beneath the giant tree! There were actually living things in such an eerie place?

His gaze swept over, only to find a person wearing a long robe woven from leaves! He had messy, unkempt hair that was a mix of gray and white. Holding a wooden chisel, he was carving those things—which resembled both text and Runes—into the tree trunk. Every strike produced a hollow THUD.

As if sensing something, he stopped chiseling and turned his head sideways.

When Jiang Fan met his gaze, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. The other party was actually a strange man with a dragon’s face and four eyes!

The man shot Jiang Fan an indifferent glance before continuing to chisel without any expression.

Jiang Fan was just about to ask who he was and where this place was. Suddenly, his vision blurred, and his consciousness rapidly plunged into darkness.

Then, after a bout of dizziness, a freezing sensation transmitted from his palm. His vision also regained its clarity. His consciousness had returned to his body. Currently, he was still slumped weakly on the ground. He had just been jolted awake because his hand was grasping something exceptionally cold.

"Where exactly was that place just now? And who was that four-eyed, dragon-headed person?" Jiang Fan asked in bewilderment.

HISS—

Suddenly, an icy coldness transmitted from his palm again, causing him to gasp slightly. Soon, he realized something was wrong. Right now, he was a genuine expert of the One Calamity Realm. What could possibly make him feel so cold?

He lifted his hand to take a look, and his pupils violently contracted!

In the center of his palm, there was actually a withered, yellow tree leaf! Carved onto it was a "scorpion" pattern that looked like a cross between a Rune and a character.

"This... this leaf... is it from that tree?" Jiang Fan couldn’t believe it.

Bringing something from the level of consciousness into the real world—he had only experienced such a thing with the Void Divine Tree.

At this moment, the "scorpion" pattern flickered and dissipated into thousands of light specks, condensing in midair into a brilliantly glowing text.

Jiang Fan looked up and couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice, "This is... the newly refined essence, a Poison Path Magic!"

He suddenly understood that the "scorpion" pattern symbolized the word "poison." When he looked closely at the contents of the text, his pupils trembled. "A quasi Immortal Technique?"

For a moment, he stood frozen in place.

He already possessed two sets of quasi Immortal Techniques. One was the Buddha’s Body Refinement Realm, the "Heavenly Separation Sutra". The other was the "Unity Ancestor Scripture" obtained from a mysterious cave dwelling in the Southern Heavenly Realm.

The Magic he created upon entering the Sage rank for the very first time was actually a quasi Immortal Technique that only a Saint could create? He still felt as if he were dreaming.

It took a long time for him to come to his senses, secretly thrilled as he thought, "Choosing to advance my Law through the Fifth Domain was indeed the wisest decision."

He couldn’t wait to close his eyes again, preparing to comprehend his Dao.

Suddenly, everything above his head turned black. A shadow pierced through the Array and the secret room, directly shrouding him. An ancient and faint consciousness projected into Jiang Fan’s mind.

"So it’s a Sage junior."

Jiang Fan was horrified. Within the other party’s voice was a supreme Holy Power that made him want to kneel in submission. Coupled with the projection that suddenly appeared in the secret room, he immediately understood what was going on and hastily said with respect, "This junior, Young Master Fan, greets the Holy Angel."

The Holy Angel in the Void remained silent for a while before sighing softly in a strange tone, "I originally thought a Dao Slave had died, and that we could now walk the heavens."

An indescribable feeling of disappointment spread out, affecting Jiang Fan’s Dao heart. Even he felt inexplicably dejected. A dangerous sense that everything was meaningless, that life was like ashes, and that it would be better to turn into dust welled up in his heart.

Fortunately, the Holy Angel’s emotions passed in a flash. He once again let out a broken and distant voice:

"You, how did you create a quasi Immortal Technique?"

Jiang Fan hesitated for a moment before answering truthfully, "When this junior was creating a Cultivation Technique, my consciousness fell into an unknown Continent."

The Holy Angel fell silent. Just as Jiang Fan thought his consciousness had already withdrawn, a calm voice transmitted into his mind:

"The Primordial City, the Heaven and Earth Origin..."

That stretch of ruins was once a city? Or was it the Heaven and Earth Origin? Did this "heaven and earth" refer to the Hundred Realms of All Heavens, or did it include even more distant and unknown places?

Jiang Fan thought for a moment, then added, "There was also a tree there, and there were strange characters on it. I obtained one of them, and then I created the quasi Immortal Technique."

The Holy Angel’s voice remained calm, as if he had already seen through everything. He spoke slowly:

"The Life Mother Tree, the beginning of all life."
