The Man In Rage novel Chapter 2318

“Master, you've returned?” Behind him, Gaius' voice rang out, filled with surprise and delight.

These days, aside from occasionally stepping out to chat with young women, Gaius spent most of his time in Mount Kransbay.

He had no choice but to obey Ye Fan's orders.

Moreover, Gaius had to stay here to ensure the presence of the Dragon Temple in the Mount Kransbay region.

Otherwise, sometime later, it was likely that the martial artists from various nations will divide this mountain region among themselves, leaving no share for Dragon God Temple.

“Mm. Did anything unusual happen these past few months?” Ye Fan asked.

Gaius shook his head. “Master, things are still the same. The only change is that the flowers, plants, and trees no longer grow. However, this divine tree before our eyes continue to grow at a terrifying speed each day. Moreover, the golden energy flowing down from the Sky Gate was largely absorbed by this divine tree.”

Due to its extraordinary characteristics, the people here simply refer to the tree as a divine tree.

Ye Fan suddenly fell silent.

Previously, Ye Fan didn't pay much attention to it.

He thought this tree wouldn't be much different from the other plants.

Now, he increasingly felt that this tree was becoming more and more peculiar.

After a moment of hesitation, Ye Fan flicked his long sleeve, unleashing his aura.

With a crisp swish, a green leaf was severed from the tree by Ye Fan.

A crystal-clear juice started to flow from within.

Ye Fan held the green leaf in his hand, examining it closely.

Gaius explained, “Master, the leaves of this divine tree are filled with extremely pure heaven and earth energy. It can be used for medicinal purposes, as well as for drinking tea. Many minor injuries and ailments people suffer from can be healed simply by using water infused with these tree leaves. Moreover, the juice from these leaves, when taken directly, surprisingly has a remarkable effect on cultivation. During this period, several warriors have managed to break through to Grandmaster by utilizing the sap of this divine tree. Now, this divine tree is under the control of various parties. Every day, one can only pick a maximum of ten leaves. They are afraid if they pick too much, they might end up killing this divine tree.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan shook his head and chuckled. “Those fools are unable to learn from their past mistakes. Back at the Dragon Gate Project, they had not succumbed to the allure of power and instead flocked to it eagerly. In the end, someone took control of their souls. Now, the origins of this tree are unknown, and yet they recklessly consume the sap. Are they not afraid of repeating their mistakes?” Ye Fan asked coldly.

Gaius' face suddenly turned grim. “Master, that shouldn't be happening. It's just a dead tree, devoid of any soul or consciousness. It shouldn't be able to control our minds, should it?”

Gaius felt a bit uneasy and scared.

Ye Fan gave him an annoyed glance. “You old geezer. You've definitely eaten some too, haven't you? If you can't control your desire, can't you control your mind?” he chided sternly.

Gaius hung his head in shame, too embarrassed to speak.

“Okay, don't fret too much. I examined it, and this sap appears to be a basic conversion of heaven and earth energy. There shouldn't be any hidden complexities. Of course, this is just my assumption. I'll bring it back and let Wan'er take a closer look. Stay here, and if anything out of the ordinary occurs, inform me right away,” Ye Fan instructed.

After he finished speaking, Ye Fan took another stroll around this mountain range.

He even soared to the peak of the blue sky to take a closer look at the Sky Gate.

Yes, the Sky Gate was still there.

Moreover, golden light flowed out incessantly from within, like a tide.

Ye Fan tried to enter again.

However, that invisible barrier still kept Ye Fan on the outside.

“What on earth is it?”

Everything that happened after the great battle of Mount Kransbay was a mystery to Ye Fan.

The Sky Gate had opened, yet apart from a continuous stream of golden light orbs, nothing else transpired.

If there really was some consciousness controlling things behind this the Sky Gate, their purpose was to transform this mortal world, making the earth, drained of its spiritual energy, into a land fit for saints.

After all, in Ye Fan's view, these golden light orbs were nothing but pure heaven and earth energy.

And now they were flowing out continuously, as if there was no end.
