Chapter 506: Searching for Secrets

Nie Tian was surprised after casting a short-range Starshift.

He saw Dong Baijie sitting by the foot of a huge tree, holding a bottle of alcohol and gulping it down by himself.

Seeing Nie Tian appearing out of nowhere, Dong Baijie was startled, and blurted, “What are you doing?”

instead of answering him, Nie Tian asked with a confused expression, “Didn’t you leave?”

Just now, he had let his guard down and hadn’t monitored everything happening in the vicinity with his Heaven Eyes, and when Dong Baijie left earlier, he didn’t pay much attention as to where he had gone.

He hadn’t expected that Dong Baijie hadn’t gone very far.

Dong Baijie laughed out loud and said somewhat embarrassedly, “Well, I don’t want to give up yet. I’ve stuck around to see if something will happen.”

“Have you seen anything noteworthy?” Nie Tian asked with a smile.

Dong Baijie sighed in frustration. “I’m one hundred percent certain that some sorts of secrets are hiding in this continent, but I just can’t figure them out. Meanwhile, our seniors whose souls have transformed and thus acquired soul power can’t come in here due to the restrictive spell. As Greater Heaven stage cultivators, we can only use our psychic power to scan this continent, which means our perception will be far inferior...”

Upon hearing his words, an idea struck Nie Tian.

Dong Baijie’s words enlightened him.

Early on, he had been consumed with the battle against the Poison Sect disciples, and thus he hadn’t had the chance to examine this mysterious continent closely.

Even though he hadn’t entered the Worldly realm yet, he actually had soul power at his disposal, which was from the nine fragmentary stars in his soul.

Furthermore, the perception of his Heaven Eyes would also be far superior to the psychic awareness of normal Greater Heaven stage cultivators. With these thoughts in mind, he sent his nine Heaven Eyes, which were scattered in the vicinity, on different missions.

He sent three of them into three of the surrounding huge trees, while sending the other six into the depths of the earth.

While doing this, he sat down with his back against an ancient tree, and said to Dong Baijie, “I’ll see if I can find anything.”

With these words, he slowly closed his eyes and focused on controlling his Heaven Eyes with his soul.

Dong Baijie nodded and didn’t say anything. He kept drinking and occasionally glancing around, trying not to disturb Nie Tian.

Soon, Nie Tian discovered that extremely rich wood power was flowing within each of the three ancient trees he had examined with his Heaven Eyes.

Meanwhile, he also discovered that all of the trees’ roots were actually connected, forming an enormous web underground, yet he wasn’t able to find anything noteworthy in the depths of the earth.

An hour later, he failed to find anything else with the help of his nine Heaven Eyes.

In the meantime, the green aura, which carried the profound truths of life, was still dormant, coiled up in his heart. It didn’t seem to be reacting to this special place in any way.

At that moment, Dong Baijie asked, his cheeks flushed from the alcohol, “Found anything, Nie Tian?”

Nie Tian shook his head. “Not yet.”

“Hahaha!” Dong Baijie laughed wildly. “I was hoping you could uncover the secrets of this place. Who would have guessed that you can’t find any clues either.”

Before Nie Tian could say anything, he rose to his feet, wobbling slightly, and said, “Alright, I’m out of here.If no one can find anything here, we’re probably gonna leave after a couple of days.”

With these words, he sped away towards the edge of the floating continent.

After he left, Nie Tian sat in place, wracking his mind for ways to uncover the secrets of this place.

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed. After roaming around for so long, Dong Kang and the members of the Water Moon Chamber of Commerce had still failed to discover any anomalies or clues.

One after another, they left the floating continent.
