Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity

Chapter 561: Chapter 397: Whose Blood is the Sick Blood?_1

On the surface, the two hearts looked almost identical except for their sizes. Both were pitch black, with a layer of dark radiant glow circulating on the surface as if they had been deliberately coated with wax.

The dark radiant glow was something that Jiang Hui had only discovered on a black heart up until now.

“Who would believe there’s no connection between these two!”

His gaze flickered as he rubbed his brow, muttering to himself.

Two identical hearts carved from the same mold, one in the Void God Realm and the other in Alien Territory. Any sane person would feel that something was awry, and it was impossible to ignore the coincidence.

Jiang Hui stood with his hands behind his back, and in the next moment, his Five Senses and divine consciousness surged out like a tidal wave, forming a colossal yet invisible Heavenly Eye. It hung high in the boundless sky, looking down at the gargantuan black heart in front of him that seemed as big as a mountain peak.

With such a view.

The scene before him became more comprehensive and three-dimensional.

It was as if beneath the magma lied another world entirely.

The chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers, the shining sunlight.

One could find massive peaks, majestic old trees, rushing rivers, cascading waterfalls, almost a perfect match to the real world.

The vast mountain range harbored the humongous black heart that spanned the distance between Heaven and Earth. It was clear to the naked eye even when concealed by the mountains.

Surrounding it, the muddy path was covered in various fallen leaves emanating the scent of decay. The cold wind whistled through the air with the rustling of leaves. The black heart pulsated against the wind, resulting in a deafening sound.

Along with the pulsation of the heart, the entire forest shook, leaves flew all around, and rocks and debris tumbled down. The ground cracked inch by inch, and dust flew everywhere…

This was an exaggerated scene, like an Earth Dragon rolling around, the vibrations from the ground were distinctly perceptible.

“Huh?”

He made another observation while withdrawing his divine consciousness.

In a secluded corner of the heart, Jiang Hui noticed something resembling a Stele.

Hidden among the fallen leaves and dried branches in the mountains, they were surrounded by various wild weeds, some of which had grown as tall as a man, others as impressive as a Small Tree.

Dense wild branches and leaves intertwined together, covering the area firmly making it hard to spot anything unusual from the outside. Fortunately, these intense leaves and roots could not obstruct his Five Senses.

Jiang Hui gestured with his jade-like hand, causing dazzling Runes to flare up, condensing into scorching flames above the weeds.

The raging fire spewed out, emitting unbearable heat, and instantly burned all the dried branches and weeds to ashes.

Following that.

The blue Stele was revealed entirely in front of Jiang Hui.

It seemed to have been there for an extended period. Many areas on its surface were damaged and uneven. However, Jiang Hui could tell this was not man-made but due to weathering over a long time.

What surprised him further was that the surface of the blue Stele was covered with a sticky unknown purple-red liquid.

This unknown liquid kept flowing, like decaying blood, emitting a nauseating smell.

The smell was unpleasant; if one got too close, they could even pick up an overwhelmingly rotten scent. Even Jiang Hui couldn’t help but scrunch up his nose, covering it with his hand slightly.

Regardless.

He launched another fireball.

In an instant, the flame glowed in all directions, sparks splattered around. The intense heat could easily melt large stones. The strong thick stench seemed to have decreased a bit.

Much to Jiang Hui’s surprise, the purple-red liquid was not as simple as he initially assumed – somewhat like a sort of life form. The moment the fire dropped, a sharp shrieking sound was heard, piercingly high.

Jiang Hui’s eyes narrowed slightly, a flash of surprise crossed his eye, and without a second thought, he launched a Surveillance Technique.

Blame him for this oversight; it wasn’t his habit; next time, regardless, he would use the Surveillance Technique to investigate any strange object first hand.

The Surveillance Technique was put into use.

Soon, the essential information of this weird sticky substance appeared before his eyes. However, what was displayed made Jiang Hui frown.

Name: Diseased Blood (Remnant)

Introduction: ??

Others: ??

Usage: ??

?

Other than the name of this purple-red liquid, other any information remained unavailable, represented by a series of question marks.

Such a scenario was a first for Jiang Hui, and he was stunned for a moment.

“It would be great if I could upgrade the Surveillance Technique!”

He couldn’t help but sigh after a while.

He knew the reason in his heart.

The purple-red liquid level was too high, and the Junior Detective Art couldn’t probe too much useful information.

Until now, his Surveillance Technique was only at the primary level. It barely sufficed for dealing with a majority of everyday items. When it came to more sophisticated and complex objects, the useful information he could get from the Junior Detective Art was limited.

Not all is lost, and it wasn’t anything like the situation at hand. But given the circumstances, Jiang Hui decided to prepare himself for what lies ahead mentally.
