David walked to her side and looked up into her gaze.
Deep within the ancient tree canopy, a hollow tree could be vaguely seen.
The hole in the tree was not big, but it emitted a soft, warm, and soothing pale golden light, making people want to get closer.
“What’s that?” David asked.
“The Foundation of the Divine Palace,” said Jiang Xuelan, “is also a place where I can help you release your remaining soul.”
He took the soul crystal from David and held it in his palm.
“Come with me.”
He climbed the ladder from the tree roots, his steps light and steady.
David followed, and the sound of their footsteps echoed among the ancient tree branches, mixing with the rustling of the leaves to create a strange rhythm.
The hole in the tree was much bigger than David had imagined.
The entrance of the cave didn’t look very big, but once you went inside, the space was as big as a small palace.
The walls of the cave were covered with golden patterns, which were identical to the patterns on the tree bark and radiated a warm light.
In the center of the cave, there is a naturally formed stone platform.
The stone platform was small, only enough for one person to lie down.
The surface of the stone platform was as smooth as a mirror, and was covered with complicated runes. These runes were not known scripts, but rather a more ancient and primitive language.
“This is an ancient scripture?” David exclaimed in surprise.
He had seen this character in ancient books. It is said that it was the language spoken by the world’s first living beings when the gods were born, and each character contained the power of the laws of heaven and earth.
“You know him?” Jiang Xuelan looked at him with some surprise.
“I don’t know him; I’ve only seen him in ancient books,” David answered honestly.
Jiang Xuelan nodded slightly and said no more.
He walked to the stone platform and placed the soul crystal in the center. Then, he raised his right hand, palm facing down, above the soul crystal.
Pale golden light radiated from his palm, warm and gentle, having the same origin and essence as the golden light of the ancient tree, but more dense and profound.
As the light fell on the Soul Crystal, its blue outer shell began to slowly melt, like melting spring snow.
The two beams of white light within the soul crystal sensed the presence of the outside world and began to vibrate violently, their movement speed increasing significantly, as if they wanted to break free from their shackles.
Jiang Xuelan frowned slightly, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Releasing the soul remnants within the soul crystal was much more mentally exhausting than he had imagined. These two remnant souls were too weak; a slight misstep could result in their complete disappearance.
He had to use the most gentle and subtle method to guide them out of the soul crystal little by little.
Time passed, second by second.
The cave was so quiet that only the sound of the two of them breathing could be heard and the hissing sound of the soul crystals melting.
David stood aside, holding his breath, not daring to make a sound.
He didn’t dare disturb Jiang Xuelan, or even approach too close, for fear that her presence would affect his magical abilities.
After approximately the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the outer layer of the soul crystal finally melted completely.
Two beams of white light slowly rose from the molten liquid, like two butterflies emerging from their cocoons, floating gently above the stone platform.
Their light was very dim, almost invisible, but the vitality contained in them made David’s eyes slightly warm.
That’s Moses.
That was his wife.
