Chapter 1614: More Questions (1/2)

Confusion filled Dong Li’s face as she turned to fix her eyes on Nie Tian.

Nie Tian, who was wielding the Spirit Scepter, looked almost identical to his true form other than the fact that he was in pure soul form.

Meeting her eyes, he remained as calm as ever.

Dong Li came to a sudden realization. “You know about that strange ward? What’s up with it? Though amplified by the Dark Aureole, my soul power still can’t penetrate it, not in the slightest.”

Nie Tian nodded. “It’s a ward made of a wide array of weird energies. It appears to be protecting something. The sudden changes in the Realm of Middle Continent appear to be stimulated by something in the depths of the earth. Hence, I suspect that the heart of the Realm of Middle Continent is going through significant changes.”

“Can you penetrate that ward with your soul awareness?” Dong Li asked.

“I haven’t succeeded yet,” Nie Tian said honestly.

He had only released his nine sub-souls because he wanted to see if they could make their refined soul power penetrate that energy ward and reach the heart of the Realm of Middle Continent.

He remembered when the existence of the Divine Flame and Nie Yan had caused fundamental changes to the heart of the Flame Land.

They had modified the veins that ran through the depths of the earth, created a lava lake at the heart of the earth, and established a complicated grand spell formation that contained the ultimate flame power.

As soon as the grand spell formation had come to form, the Flame Land had started channeling flame power from its surrounding realms, and even the entire Domain of Flame’s End.

The convergence of rich flame power had made Agaz and many who practiced fire incantations believe that the Flame Land was bound to become a holy land for fire-attributed beings throughout the three worlds, one that would surpass the Realm of Fire Spirit and the Holy Flame Mountain.

The Flame Land was indeed developing in that direction.

Could the sudden appearance of the frigid lake, the golden mountain, the land of lightning, and the area wreathed in wood power be signals that the heart of the Realm of Middle Continent was also experiencing some sort of transformation?

If the Divine Flame and Nie Yan had made the Flame Land, who or what was transforming the Realm of Middle Continent?

Also, who had built the secret teleportation portal in the Bone Sect’s ruins in the Realm of Unbounded Desolation, which connected to the Realm of Middle Continent?

According to Zhao Shanling, there wasn’t any flesh power in that teleportation portal, which meant it hadn’t been built by Voidspirits or members of the other outsider races.

Even though there were a number of races throughout the three worlds that didn’t carry special bloodlines, and humanity was only one of them, the Realm of Middle Continent and the Realm of Unbounded Desolation were both human realms.

Therefore, it was most likely that humans had built the teleportation portal.

“Could it be some sectmaster or expert of the Void Spirit Society?” With this thought, he assumed a serious expression and asked Ji Yuanquan, “Elder Ji, has any spatial power expert in the history of your sect ever lived in the Realm of Unbounded Desolation, or come to the Domain of the Falling Stars?”

Ji Yuanquan immediately realized what he was thinking. “So you suspect that the secret teleportation portal in the Realm of Unbounded Desolation was established by someone from the Void Spirit Society?”

“It can’t be someone from the Void Spirit Society!” Zhao Shanling called out with a grim face.

Nie Tian was taken aback.

“I’ve learned a large number of the Void Spirit Society’s spatial incantations through the Voidspirit Pagoda,” Zhao Shanling said with a serious expression. “The teleportation portal in the Realm of Unbounded Desolation doesn’t match the Void Spirit Society’s system in the slightest!”

“If he says so, then I guess it really doesn’t have anything to do with us,” Ji Yuanquan then said, “That Voidspirit Pagoda of his does carry our sect’s legacies. If he’s certain that the portal didn’t come from our system, then it must not be. Besides, I thought about that possibility since I learned about that teleportation portal and this place.

“I did some research, and I’m certain that none of our renowned seniors have ever lived in the Realm of Unbounded Desolation.

“So I don’t think there’s any connection between that teleportation portal in the Realm of Unbounded Desolation and the Void Spirit Society.”

At this moment, Yu Suying, Yin Xingtian, Master Blood Spirit, and the others withdrew their soul power one after another.

They shook their heads as they exchanged frustrated glances.

Yu Suying, who was at the middle God domain, had failed to even detect that energy ward with her soul power, not to mention going through the ward to explore the wonders that lay beyond it.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
