Shi Xiaobai had disappeared.

One-Pun's God's Guardian should have been able to precisely pinpoint the target's location regardless of the distance, but this time, it failed. He was unable to lock onto Shi Xiaobai's location.

There were only two possibilities for such a situation to occur.

The first possibility was that Shi Xiaobai was in a location where God's Guardian couldn't locate. This was despite it having never happened before. Still, One-Pun had no way of determining how wide God's Guardian's range was, considering the possibility that some corner in the world could screen his targeting, or that it was possible that Shi Xiaobai had gone to another world which was separated spatially from their world.

It was very improbable, but still possible.

The second possibility was that the target was dead, and the targeting would automatically be removed in such a situation.

This was nearly impossible if Shi Xiaobai were to die, One-Pun would have sensed the ”danger” before he died and teleport to Shi Xiaobai's side through God's Guardian.

But up to now, One-Pun had never sensed any signs of ”danger” happening. The three targets he protected were safe. If he needed to doubt this point, then God's Guardian was something completely unreliable.

”It looks like I need to make a trip,” One-Pun thought.

God's Guardian's teleportation was categorized into two types. One of them was Guardian Teleport. It would allow him to teleport to the target if they encountered danger. Such a form of teleportation did not cause any harm to himself, but it could only be triggered when the target was in danger.

The other was a proactive teleport. Without hitting the condition that the target wasn't experiencing any danger, he could still teleport to his target's location at any time. But doing so would expend a great deal of Psionic Power. According to One-Pun's present Psionic Power capacity, using it once would drain about half his Psionic Power.

Draining half his Psionic Power to teleport to an unknown location was no doubt a risk.

But be it his appreciation for Shi Xiaobai's character and personality, or the importance he attached to the genius youth who was the only one to conquer the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower in ten thousand years, One-Pun could not sit idle.

”God's Guardian—Proactive Teleportation.”

One-Pun proactively used God's Guardian's and after instantaneously teleporting, he arrived somewhere unfamiliar.

Typically speaking, the person who appeared in front of him should have been the youth who called himself ”This King,” but right before him was a towering tree spanning a hundred meters in diameter.

To be precise, there were two trees. One of them grew out from the ground, while the other was inverted, having the sky as its soil. The crowns of the two gigantic trees met in midair more than ten kilometers in the sky. Together, they formed an expansive emerald-green shade that blotted out the firmaments.

These two giant trees were said to have grown overnight. The spectacle of the two trees had caused a sensation and had occupied the headlines today. One-Pun had also heard of it, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he was astounded.

It wasn't because of the massiveness of the gigantic tree, but that One-Pun sensed that the two trees contained immense power.

The stronger someone was, the more they could sense the might emitted by the gigantic tree. It was as though two divine soldiers were overlooking all life. That look of contempt towards all things in the world left One-Pun feeling apprehensive.

Soon, One-Pun sensed a familiar aura amid the might.

It was the youth's aura.

Right inside the trunk of the gigantic tree that rose from the ground, he could sense an aura belonging to Shi Xiaobai.

One-Pun's expression changed slightly.

There was no way for God's Guardian's teleportation to be wrong. Shi Xiaobai ought to be right in front of him, but all he saw was the ancient tree trunk that resembled a gigantic wall. Furthermore, he could sense Shi Xiaobai's aura from the trunk. Then, the answer was obvious.

”Shi Xiaobai is inside the tree!”

One-Pun's expression grew solemn.

If Shi Xiaobai was inside the tree, then perhaps the tree's might was able to screen God's Guardian's targeting. That was reasonable.

However, how was he to determine that Shi Xiaobai was safe inside the tree?
