A silver beam of coruscating light penetrated the sky of the Xiantu Continent and violently entered deep into a sea of red sand. The red sand was disintegrated by the beam of light, clearing the area to reveal a white platform radiating faint silver light. This was the spatial platform located in the Dead Soul Desert!
As the light slowly faded away, it revealed a little over a dozen figures. They stood atop the platform with disorientated eyes, some directly vomiting, while others were unconscious. Yan Zaizen was the only one that didn't lean over or show some intense reaction. Being spatially transmitted was like being sent to earth from space with only a small capsule protecting you. It was turbulent, blinding, and made you feel light-headed or directly lose consciousness, but due to his body cultivation, this wasn't much to him.
Bai Lufeng and Tao's cultivation base were at the Origin Core Realm, so their reaction wasn't nearly as intense as others. However, they had to catch their breaths and circulate their qi-essence to alleviate some of the disorientating side-effects.
”Heyo!” A rambunctious voice called out, a figure arrived on the platform with a jolly laughter. A round figure filled to the brim with fat appeared in everyone's vision. It was a bald male with a round belly, stubby legs, and stout arms. He dressed in a yellow martial art attire, but despite his characteristics, his face was exceptionally handsome. It was a deep contrast to those who raise up believing in a specific type of handsomeness.
”Alright, so! You, you, you, and you!” The figure waved his hand, a trace of true-essence surged outwards to wrap around the form of everyone except Yan Zaizen's group of three. They floated without resistance and allowed themselves to be taken away.
True Essence Realm?!
This individual possessed a profound cultivation base at the True Essence Realm, and he seemed to be nearing the peak of the mid-stage. This was an exceptional cultivation and could place one at the top in the entirety of Presba.
”Oh? New arrivals! Welcome! Enjoy your stay!” The man released his jolly laughter once more and took off, vanishing into the horizon in an instant. Those at the True Essence Realm could travel several li in a single step, and this was just the bare minimum. With a profound movement art, conceptual law, and other factors like armament, they could, in a single step, travel 100's of li.
”Huh…” Yan Zaizen gazed at the man's direction, and then his surroundings. Besides this giant mountain-like platform, there was literally nothing else! Just red sand. Tao had informed him of the Dead Soul Desert before, and the reason it was called as such. It was an odd area where several hundred thousands of li were nothing but a sea of red sand that sometimes exceeded mountains in height.
This red sand had a special property. It could absorb soul energy from one's soul form. Because of that, it was one of the areas where soul crystals were naturally produced. Checking his soul energy, he could feel faint traces of his energy seeping into the sand as if returning to its origin. ”Such a weird sand.” Hearing about it and actually experiencing it was two very different things.
”The Anima Syndicate chose this spot for its unique properties. It seems it has locations which can help with enlightenment.” Yan Zaizen recalled a few things Wu Yuanxu informed him of. Recalling how he mentioned the extraordinariness of the Anima Syndicate, Yan Zaizen wished that Wu Yuanxu had traveled with him also. In truth, he just wished he was still alive.
Tao's eyes flickered with traces of pondering, glancing to and fro in curiosity. As for Bai Lufeng, he felt a little uncomfortable in this sea of red sand. The feeling of having your soul energy siphoned against your will felt unpleasant.
