Chapter 2334: Chapter 2383: Primordial Power
He felt no small amount of resentment in his heart.
He had repeatedly begged to guide Xia Chaoge, but the latter had coldly refused.
Yet the moment Jiang Fan appeared, Xia Chaoge actively begged for his guidance!
He wanted to see what kind of expression Xia Chaoge would make when she saw Hua Wenqi break through to the Five Qi Angel Lord realm while she herself was still stuck at the same level.
Jiang Fan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "Chaoge, it’s a good thing I didn’t hold back with you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to walk out of the Northern Heavenly State today."
Xia Chaoge covered her mouth and chuckled. "If I had known, I wouldn’t have cultivated so diligently. I should have just let you be embarrassed."
As she smiled, Holy Light diffused behind her. A pair of massive, resplendent golden wings unfurled. Golden light radiated from every beautiful feather. With her black hair, blue dress, and slender figure, a breathtakingly stunning image was reflected in everyone’s eyes. Especially those golden wings—they were like a beam of blinding golden light, shining so brightly that everyone’s pupils contracted sharply.
"A One-Winged Great Angel!"
Hua Wenqi covered her small mouth, gasping.
The sky full of angels also snapped back to their senses, erupting into a cacophony of unbelievable shock.
"Am I seeing things? Did Xia Chaoge break through to the One-Winged Great Angel Realm?"
"If I remember correctly, just a month ago, Xia Chaoge was only a Three-qi Angel Lord!"
It was no wonder they collectively lost their composure. This Instantaneous Movement-like breakthrough truly exceeded everyone’s imagination. At a time when others breaking through a minor realm was worthy of the entire clan’s congratulations, Xia Chaoge had silently skipped three realms! She had even broken through from an Angel Leader to a Great Angel! This was simply an unprecedented marvel!
Yu Luo’s eyes were also filled with disbelief. "Even in the Divine Capital, it has never been heard of that someone could break through from the Heavenly Human Three Decline to the Sage Realm in a single month!
"Unless this woman before us eats Holy Angel Blood for her meals.
"But how is that possible?
"A single drop of Holy Angel Blood is incredibly hard to come by."
The Mixed Element Archangel stroked his beard and stared at Jiang Fan, a sharp glint in his eyes. "This kid hides his depths well.
"I investigated him for half a month and repeatedly cast Magic to find out his past.
"However, my Magic was actually blocked by a force containing the rhythm of the Heavenly Dao."
"What?" Yu Luo narrowed his eyes into slits, his sharp gaze like a blade, as if trying to dissect Jiang Fan and see through him completely. "The Heavenly Dao is protecting him?
"Inconceivable!
"Heh, this person is getting more and more interesting."
Compared to everyone else’s shock, Yun Wanxiao looked as if he had been struck by a Thunder Strike, standing motionless where he was. His eyes were full of unaccepting denial as he stared at the resplendent golden wings behind Xia Chaoge. Even if he had given his all, he could only help Xia Chaoge break through to a Four Qi Angel Lord at most. Yet, Jiang Fan had easily allowed her to prove her Dao and become a Great Angel!
At this moment, the crowd recovered their wits and began discussing fervently. The Angel Leaders, in particular, were the most intense in their discussions.
"To think I was actually worried for Xia Chaoge. After all this time, I’m the clown!"
"You have to admire Xia Chaoge’s foresight. By repeatedly rejecting Yun Wanxiao and proactively choosing this senior before us, she made the right move at every step!"
"Yeah, if she had been hot-headed back then and followed Yun Wanxiao, she would have suffered a huge loss!"
This scene deeply pierced Yun Wanxiao’s heart. Jealousy, anger, humiliation, and other emotions washed over him like a blazing inferno. He looked at Jiang Fan, and then at the beaming Xia Chaoge.
Steeling his heart, he called out, "Wenqi!"
Hua Wenqi, who was still immersed in shock, hurriedly replied, "Here, I’m here."
At this moment, she felt even more regretful. She had originally thought that since Xia Chaoge followed an outsider, her cultivation would regress. Instead, she had actually broken through to a realm that Hua Wenqi could not even hope to reach.
Yun Wanxiao said gloomily, "Hurry up and stab the Love Arrow into Xia Chaoge’s body for me!"
Hua Wenqi’s eyes lit up! Finally, her chance to make amends and salvage Jiang Fan’s favor had arrived. She also wanted to prove her Dao and become a Great Angel; she also wanted to improve!
"Alright, I will absolutely get it done right away!" Hua Wenqi said decisively.
Only then did the anger in Yun Wanxiao’s heart ease slightly as he coldly stared at Xia Chaoge. "Chaoge, don’t blame me.
"If you must blame someone, blame me for caring about you too much!
"You belong to me, and no one can take you away!"
Jiang Fan tucked his hands into his sleeves. Waiting quietly for the scene to calm down a little, he then announced loudly, "West Empress, it’s time to announce who the reward for the guidance program belongs to, right?"
The corners of the West Empress’s lips curled up slightly. The good show her second personality had waited a whole month for was finally about to begin. She was also somewhat looking forward to seeing the expression on this guy’s face when he realized his month of hard work had all been for naught.
She cleared her throat and smiled. "First place, of course, belongs to none other than you.
"However, you can choose another reward and yield this Power of Absolute Beginning to someone else."
She was giving Jiang Fan a heads-up in advance to prevent him from suffering a total mental breakdown later.
Jiang Fan picked up on something unusual and grew secretly vigilant. He wondered, "What’s this? Is this Power of Absolute Beginning not that easy to obtain? Why didn’t the other West Empress remind me?"
However, he didn’t hesitate in the slightest. He stated directly, "I only want the Power of Absolute Beginning."
The only things in the Northern Heavenly State that could attract him, besides the Five Magnet Immortal Mountain, were the Power of Absolute Beginning. He had no interest in anything else.
The West Empress said, "Very well, then as you wish."
She exchanged a glance with the East Emperor. Although the East Emperor was somewhat reluctant to see Jiang Fan, an outsider, take first place, Xia Chaoge’s unparalleled progress left him speechless. The two of them closed their eyes simultaneously, transmitting their consciousness into the unseen Void to announce the outcome of this event to the slumbering Saint Realm.
Shortly after, the depths of the sky suddenly began to tremble lightly. An illusory, multicolored Angel Feather spun as it slowly descended in front of Jiang Fan. It emitted no pressure whatsoever, and not even a trace of Spiritual Power fluctuations could be sensed. Yet, it instilled a fear in all the angels present that stemmed from the very depths of their bloodlines.
This was the power of a Holy Angel!
Jiang Fan’s gaze burned feverishly. Even though it had been diluted countless times, it still possessed the profound effect of evolving into myriad forms of power. According to what the West Empress had said, the Power of Absolute Beginning could evolve into any force in the world—Soul Power, Physical Power, Five Elements Power, and even the Power of Laws! There were truly far too many places where Jiang Fan could put this wisp of the Power of Absolute Beginning to use!
"Thank you, East Emperor and West Empress!" Jiang Fan smiled as he reached out and grabbed it.
The West Empress pursed her red lips slightly, waiting to watch the show.
The East Emperor noticed the West Empress’s unusual demeanor, and only then did he suddenly remember that this power of the Holy Angel required the bloodline of their Angel Clan to sustain it. As a mortal, Jiang Fan simply couldn’t acquire it! He couldn’t help but reveal a somewhat amused expression as well. "Working so hard to help the Northern Heavenly State cultivate a Great Angel, only to end up with absolutely nothing in the end. Hehehe," he thought.
However, what caused the expressions of both the West Empress and the East Emperor to stiffen simultaneously was this: when Jiang Fan initially grabbed the feather, his fingers did indeed pass right through it, unable to sustain it. But as the Angel Bloodline that Xia Chaoge had shared with him activated within Jiang Fan’s body, he easily grasped the feather in his hand.
The West Empress looked as though she had seen a ghost. "He... He’s from our Angel Race?"
