Chapter 641 The Truth and the Fallen Immortal

The writing on the tree bark stopped abruptly, and after staying there for a long time, Jiang Wen put the things away. Although they were all worthless items, he felt it was better to keep them.

What he found written on the tree bark truly astonished him. He hadn't expected that the blessed land where the Baixi tribe lived would be home to a fallen immortal. Just how large was this fallen immortal, capable of housing billions of living beings?

If that's the case, then the safety of the Land of Divine Blessing makes sense. After all, it resides in the body of a fallen immortal, and the inanimate objects of the Land of Fallen Immortals dare not disturb it.

As for the identity of the skeleton, Jiang Wen knew it.

This must be the descendant of that dragon elder, and Zhen's father. He and Zhen's mother came here through the Sky Tower. In the end, Zhen's mother was swallowed by the black water, while he survived by sheer luck.

Perhaps they thought they could find a way out of the Fallen Immortal Land from the Holy Land, but in the end, they failed at the last minute.

As for the matter recorded on this last piece of bark, Jiang Wen couldn't help but frown.

Is it part of Him, this island?

Could it be?! Jiang Wen's eyes widened as he realized some terrifying truth.

If his guess is correct, then this island is extraordinary. It is shaped like a heart, and Fallen Immortal Lake is like blood.

So this island is the heart of the Fallen Immortals, and the so-called Black Water is their blood?!
Jiang Wen was horrified by his own thought. If this conjecture was true, then the black water in the Land of Fallen Immortals was the blood spilled by the fallen immortals. And what about the black mud? Could it be the rotting flesh and blood of the fallen immortals?!

The Land of Fallen Immortals—what exactly is this place? Why does it hold such astonishing secrets? Could it be that in the distant past, the immortals waged an earth-shattering war?
His thoughts were in turmoil. Jiang Wen's intuition told him that this Land of Fallen Immortals was somehow connected to the Great Wilderness Sumeru Realm and even the Great Fog. Perhaps, on this land of fallen immortals, lay hidden secrets about the Three Realms. Or perhaps, secrets about his own body.

Why did he transmigrate to this world, and why does he hold such a high position? Even the true dragon calls him Heavenly Venerable.

"Phew—" Jiang Wen let out a long breath, calming his turbulent emotions. He hadn't expected to learn such a huge secret on this island.

This seems to be a secret known to all the elders of the Sky Tower, but they have all subtly kept quiet about it.

Jiang Wen suddenly thought of the golden-scaled dragonman of the dragon race. The day he wanted to keep him there, it seemed that it was also for some kind of secret. Perhaps he also knew the truth about this blessed land.

"The entire Baixi tribe lives amidst the corpses of fallen immortals—truly a shocking truth. If word gets out, the Baixi tribes will likely descend into chaos. No wonder the elders remain silent; sometimes ignorance is bliss." With a few sighs, Jiang Wen flicked his finger at the ground, creating a crack in the rock just large enough to accommodate the skeleton.

Jiang Wen buried the skeleton in the rocks, which was a way of comforting him.

bang-

A round piece of white jade fell down.

Picking it up, Jiang Wen looked at the white jade piece depicting two dragons chasing each other. In the center of the two soaring dragons, the character "帝" (Emperor) suddenly appeared.

"Emperor, Ao Di? It's clear that the dragon elder really dotes on this person, to have given him such a prestigious name. Ao Di, what a pity."

After putting the jade pendant away, Jiang Wen didn't see anything else of value.

After doing all this, he walked out of the cave. Although the island was calm, Jiang Wen could no longer feel any sense of joy.

After understanding what this island was, he found it hard to remain calm, after all, it was the heart of a fallen immortal.

"The elders of the Azure Sky Tower asked me to find something on this island. Could it be that they want me to find the entire island and take it back? That's quite strange. What could it be?" Jiang Wen was curious about what he was looking for. After all, judging from what the elders had said, these things were closely related to the Land of Divine Blessing. Now that he knew the truth about the entire Land of Divine Blessing, it wasn't hard for him to make some guesses.

According to the dragon elder, when he saw the island, he saw the treasure he sought. The first thing he saw was the lush, verdant scenery of the entire island.

Could it be that those people were merely there to have him confirm the island's condition? Perhaps the Azure Tower already knew this island was the heart of the Fallen Immortal. They were simply there to bring him here, to see if the island was still intact.

If his thoughts are correct, this island is the central hub of the entire Blessed Lands. Once this island is swallowed by the black waters, a great calamity will surely befall the Blessed Lands.

The elders might be unable to reach this place for some reason, and the tribal warriors who did manage to get here rarely returned. Therefore, they placed their hopes on this outsider; those promises were merely parting gifts. The elders of the Azure Tower didn't believe he would return alive.

If he really goes back, those promises will become shackles binding him. The position of elder in the Sky Tower looks wonderful, but it's like sitting on a volcano, constantly in danger of being shattered to pieces.

"If I can go back, even if I'm given the position of elder, those people won't lose anything. Being able to walk back safely from Fallen Immortal Lake requires real skill." Jiang Wen felt that these elders of the Azure Sky Tower were all cunning and scheming against him.

After descending the cliff, Jiang Wen headed towards the center of the island.

There, there was another huge lake. The lake shimmered with light, a stark contrast to the surrounding still, dark waters.

This piqued his curiosity, and he wanted to see if this water was different from the black water.

With Jiang Wen's current speed, traveling ten thousand miles a day is quite common. Although the lake is in the center of the island, it is only a hundred miles away.

They soon arrived at the lakeside, where Jiang Wen looked at the lake in the middle of the island.

The rippling water was indeed beautiful, unlike any other scenery in the holy land.

As Jiang Wen stirred up a clump of water, he smelled a rich spiritual energy. The spiritual energy in this lake was even more concentrated than that on the island, reaching a level of perfection.

"Could this be liquefied spiritual energy?" Jiang Wen was somewhat surprised. He had thought this lake was just ordinary water, but he hadn't expected it to be a place where spiritual energy gathered. Although the spiritual water in this lake was slightly inferior to the water from a spiritual vein spring, it wasn't far off. Just one sip was enough to fully restore the mana of a cultivator at the Life Fire Realm.

"What a wonderful thing! No wonder it can give birth to so many spiritual creatures."

Jiang Wen finally understood why this island had so many rare and precious materials, and why a lake formed from spiritual energy could turn even the underworld into a blessed land.

He filled a few bottles with lake water and then stopped. Although the lake water was very precious, he was not greedy.

Jiang Wen channeled his divine sense into the lake water and slowly began to sense the bottom of the lake.

He couldn't use his divine sense to explore outside the island, but he could still use it to some extent once he arrived on this island. The lake seemed to have no end, to the point that even Jiang Wen couldn't sense it with all his divine sense.

In that deep, bottomless abyss of dark blue, some invisible force was drawing his consciousness in.

Suddenly, an immense attraction drew Jiang Wen's consciousness away, and he immediately withdrew it.

"What is that?!" Jiang Wen stared at the lake.

He sensed an immense fear lurking beneath the surface of the lake.
