Chapter 508: Converge

After a moment of hesitation, Dong Baijie made his decision.

He steered his Rainbow Lightning away from the top of the ward, where the tree patterns were converging from all directions, and sought to reenter the continent through another location on the ward.

The moment he left, Qin Yi snapped back to reality, and shouted furiously, “What are you waiting for, idiots!?With us Worldly and Profound realm cultivators unable to go through the ward, why are you Greater Heaven stage ones also still standing here like fools?”

Upon hearing these words, all of the other Greater Heaven stage cultivators in the crowd snapped back to their senses.

One after another, they followed Dong Baijie’s example and flew towards areas where there weren’t many tree patterns on the ward.

BOOM!

Dong Baijie and his Rainbow Lightning rammed hard into the dark-green ward, and instantly bounced back.

He stood aghast. “What the hell?! Even Greater Heaven stage cultivators are stopped from entering now?!”

In the next moment, Dong Kang and the other Greater Heaven stage cultivators were also denied entrance, and repulsed by the dark-green ward one after another.

“Someone must have discovered something!” Eyes blazing like a torch, Dong Tuodi became increasingly convinced that someone had triggered the secrets of the continent, therefore causing new changes that stopped even Greater Heaven stage cultivators from entering.

“Perhaps it’s Qin Yan...” Qin Yi said.

Recalling Qin Yan’s sudden return and summoning Feng Ying, he couldn’t help but grow excited, anticipation gradually appearing in his eyes.

Everyone else’s expressions flickered as they heard his words.

They all recalled the sense of urgency and excitement of finding something on Qin Yan’s face when she had returned previously.

Therefore, they all assumed it was Qin Yan who had previously discovered the secrets of this floating continent, and thus came back to ask Feng Ying to resolve it with her.

Of everyone, Dong Baijie was the only one who was convinced that Qin Yan had nothing to do with what was happening.

After all, he knew the spot where the tree patterns were converging was directly above the place where Nie Tian had sat in the lotus position when he had left.

Before going on this trip, he had also learned from Dong Li that Nie Tian was the reason why she had been able to obtain a Fruit of Life and bring it back to the Dong Clan.

“It must be you again...” With a bitter smile, Dong Baijie shook his head. Even though he inwardly envied him, he didn’t say anything.

Meanwhile, on the floating continent...

Qin Yan, who had just arranged the tree branches and told Feng Ying to infuse them with her wood power, looked up into the heavens, a confused expression spreading on her face.

The sudden changes over their heads caught her attention before Feng Ying could infuse her refined wood power into the seventy-two branches.

She noticed the movements of the complicated tree patterns in the dark-green ward.

Without even thinking about it, she knew it was Nie Tian who had triggered these changes.

“Hurry up!” She urged Feng Ying.

“Nothing seems to be happening,” Feng Ying said, grievance filling her face. “I’ve already infused my wood power into these branches, but there don’t seem to be any changes.”

Qin Yan tore her eyes away from the changes in the sky and looked down. Like Feng Ying had said, nothing seemed to be happening.

At that moment, loud rumbles echoed out from the earth under their feet. It occurred to her that this floating continent might crack and shatter shortly.

With a hateful tone, she said, “He beat us to it after all...”

Feng Ying was confused. “Who?”

Grudges filling the corner of her mouth, Qin Yan let out a sigh and muttered, “We were just one step away, but we were still too late. Perhaps Dong Li was right. Only he can find and take the fortunes from this floating continent.”

With these words, she waved her hands and signaled for Feng Ying to stop wasting her time.

“You can go back now. Be careful though. I’m afraid this floating continent will be destroyed soon. Don’t sink with it.” With these words, she sped away towards the location where Nie Tian and Dong Li were.

…

Guarding Nie Tian, Dong Li’s bright eyes were filled with vigor as she giggled and said to herself, “What did I tell you, Qin Yan? If there’s any secret in this place, he’ll be the only one to find it. It’s not in your destiny.”

As she looked up, she saw streams of emerald green aura falling down from the sky directly above Nie Tian’s head.

Each and every one of them had complicated and beautiful tree patterns flowing in them, as if they were from the oldest trees this world had ever seen, and they carried the profound truths of wood power.

The streams of emerald green aura slowly extended towards the tree branches before Nie Tian.

As soon as they flew into the branches, dazzling light blossomed from the branches. Meanwhile, the branches became semi-transparent and crystalline, as if they had somehow changed from wood into some sort of sparkling crystal.

Each and every branch rapidly changed after receiving the streams filled with mysterious tree patterns.

After a brief pondering, Dong Li realized that the exquisite tree patterns must be the ones that were gathering from all directions in the dark-green ward above their heads.

Then, she realized that Nie Tian had truly uncovered the secrets of this floating continent.
