Chapter 488: Discoveries

After leaving a special mark on the floating continent where the spatial rift was, the Spirit God Sect and the Tool Sect split up.

Bai Yu waved and beckoned Wu Ling, Huang Yuan, and a few other Tool Sect juniors to board her Rainbow Lightning. Meanwhile, Zhu Lian summoned another Rainbow Lightning and told the other Tool Sect members to get on board.

Zhen Huilan summoned her Lightning Shuttle from within her ring of holding and beckoned Nie Tian and Pei Qiqi to jump in.

Afterwards, the Rainbow Lightnings and Lightning Shuttle flew away from the floating continent.

Since the gravitational field was very weak, the speed at which the Lightning Shuttle and Rainbow Lightnings traveled was very fast, and it didn’t require as much spiritual power to propel them.

Nie Tian and Pei Qiqi stood in the Lightning Shuttle and glanced around curiously.

From time to time, the Lightning Shuttle would pass floating boulders, which were moving in some unknown pattern. It was just they were moving at a far lower speed than the Lightning Shuttle.

Zhen Huilan’s eyes narrowed as waves of extremely intense soul fluctuations spread out from her.

Standing beside her, Nie Tian could tell with great clarity that the soul fluctuations she was unleashing contained unfathomable truths of spatial energy. As they rippled out into the distance, they seemed to cause space to flicker slightly.

At that moment, Bai Yu, who was steering the Rainbow Lightning in the front, suddenly turned around and said with a smile, “Senior martial sister, I actually found something other than that mountain of bones. Come with me.”

Zhen Huilan’s eyes lit up.

The mountain of bones Bai Yu had brought back to them earlier had lost its value due to long-term erosion. The energy within those bones was completely gone.

If the mountain of bones hadn’t been riddled with holes, perhaps she wouldn’t have brought it back and showed it to the people from the Spirit God Sect.

After hearing her words, everyone looked spirited and expectant.

The Rainbow Lightnings and Lightning Shuttle rapidly flew past numerous floating boulders. An hour later, a volcano that had a penetrating hole in the middle entered everyone’s view.

Even though they were still thousands of meters away, Nie Tian could see crimson flames flickering within the enormous hole that went through the volcano.

The volcano was about three thousand meters high and roughly in the shape of a pagoda. It was unknown how long it had been there.

The silent volcano was surrounded by layers of very turbulent and unstable spatial energy.

It was because of that layer of spatial energy that Bai Yu hadn’t stayed to examine it earlier.

She was an expert of fire-attributed incantations and an equipment forger. However, she didn’t practice spatial power.

Without a deep understanding of spatial power, she hadn’t dared to handle the layer of spatial energy lightly.

Therefore, she had waited for them to part ways with the people from the Spirit God Sect to take Zhen Huilan to it.

Soon, the Rainbow Lightnings and Lightning Shuttle came to a stop before the floating volcano. Bai Yu didn’t say anything, but rather looked towards Zhen Huilan.

Eyes narrowed, Zhen Huilan took out her folding fan from within her ring of holding.

As she waved the fan, spatial energy fluctuations spread out towards the floating volcano like ripples on water.

Nie Tian looked at them with rapt attention.

It was unknown what kind of powerful weapon could have created such a huge, penetrating hole through the volcano. Through the fire-flickering mouth of the hole, Nie Tian could vaguely see lava bubbling within the heart of the volcano.

Instead of forming Heaven Eyes, he unleashed his psychic awareness in an attempt to examine that layer of mysterious energy.

However, as soon as the wisp of his psychic awareness flew close to it, he experienced an excruciating pain in his head.

Thus, he had to withdraw his psychic awareness.

Meanwhile, a strange look appeared in Zhen Huilan’s eyes. Countless fine strands of spatial energy rapidly formed and dissipated in the depths of her pupils.

Standing next to her, Nie Tian was flabbergasted as he looked into her eyes.

Then, he noticed that the image of the floating volcano had mysteriously appeared on the empty folding fan she was waving.

On the fan, the miniature of the floating volcano was bound down by numerous bright strings of spatial power, many of which even went through the volcano.

Astonished by the scene, Nie Tian couldn’t help but inwardly marvel at the profundity of spatial magics and those who practiced spatial power.

“That paper fan in my master’s hand is a spatial spiritual tool named the Illusion Realm,” Pei Qiqi explained to Nie Tian in a low voice. “However, it doesn’t have its own soul yet, and it can’t actually create an independent realm. It’s extremely hard to find and refine souls for spatial spiritual tools. My master has looked for years, but still can’t find a suitable soul for it.
