Chapter 528: Unexpected Discovery

ying:"Ming'er, Yueyue, you two don't need to be nervous. Although they are elders of my Su clan, I can manage my own household. You just need to be polite, and I'll handle the rest.""Okay, I got it."W...R ripples was uncertain if she could repair the dwelling in Batti's mouth, so she didn't promise readily. Instead, she smiled and said:

"Mr. Batty, our resources are limited, so we're not sure if we can fully repair your home. However, we could take a look and see what the problem is"

Bart clearly understood Ripple's cautious stance, nodded in agreement, and then addressed Langli:

Go play somewhere else, don't come near here, and don't let anyone else come near here either.

"Okay, Grandpa Batty!"

Langli waved his little meaty hands to Ripples and a few others, then floated away.

Because Grandfather Batty would drive all the nearby spirits away every so often, or else something bad would happen, so after Lanly informed everyone, he too disappeared into thin air.

Bart beckoned to several people, then walked toward the back of a small hill.

"Lotus, don't push yourself too hard. If you can't do it, we can just leave and find another soul to exchange with."

Leia spoke softly, she always felt danger.

"Young Master Lian, I don't necessarily want this flower of the departed souls."

Raul also agreed, though he wasn't being entirely sincere, because it was obvious to everyone that the old man named Bart had grown the highest quality Soul Withering Flowers.

The ripples just gave the two of them a reassuring look, and then, following Batty's footsteps, she went around to the back of the small hill.

Looking at the sea of soul-petals before him, Lianri even made a rare sigh:

The flowers here are beautiful.

The next second, strange things happened. The sea of dead soul flowers before them was flickering between reality and illusion. Lian Ri paused for a moment, then stood beside Batty, her purple eyes fixed on the scene in front of them.

How could this be

Raul exclaimed in surprise, and Leia and Laya both subconsciously gripped their magic staffs. Both of them became unusually serious.

Ripple felt the spatial fluctuations, a force trying to connect here, and this sea of ghost flowers was the chosen coordinate. This is because ghost flowers have the characteristic of communicating with both yin and yang forces.

"Mr. Batty, how long has this been going on"

It appears at intervals, but the time between appearances is not fixed. This is the third time it has happened.

"To repair this, you must move this field of flowers."

“I’ve already removed a part of it, but the situation is still happening. Before, I wanted to invite a great mage to take a look, but he fell in love with this field of flowers and wanted to possess it for himself. I disagreed, so he tried to seize it. Unfortunately, before I could make a move, he was sucked into the illusory flower sea and vanished!”

Patti said helplessly.

This made both Leia and Laya on the side very nervous, because they were only intermediate mages, two levels lower than a grand mage, clearly not enough to compete.

Ripple didn't feel any malice from Batty, so she wasn't too worried. Instead, she continued to ask:

"Does this kind of situation happen around the tides"

"You're right, I didn't realize that. It is true like that, but it doesn't happen every month before and after the tides, because there's no pattern to follow."

Bart seemed to be reminded by the ripples, after a moment of thought he said.

The ripple's violet eyes narrowed. She was now certain that someone was trying to establish a spatial channel, and it was very likely somewhere outside the realm of magic.

Thinking of those invaders who had encroached upon the magical continent, Lian Ri felt a twinge of bitterness in her teeth. A thousand sheep stampeded before her eyes, and then she let out a soft sigh, continuing to speak to Batty:

Mr. Batty, you did the right thing in keeping the spirits away from here. Were there any spirits that were drawn into this place before

"Well, there was once, so I ordered them all to stay away from here. Because there are my soul-eating flowers planted here, they dare not come here to loiter. So except for the first time, nothing like that happened again."

Bart was quite impressed by this black-haired, violet-eyed boy. Despite being underage, he was very composed and intelligent. Bart was sure that the boy had already seen through the ruse.

"Mr. Batty, it's not that we don't want to help, but our capabilities are limited."

Liàn Yī intends to politely decline.

But before she could finish her sentence, Bart said:

"I am the oldest soul on this graveyard, and in my experience, this is not a good sign. You see the problem, but you lack the ability to solve it. If so, you can tell me, and I'll try to find a solution myself."

Bart said, settling for second best.

Mr. Batty, it's not that I'm unwilling to tell you, but in your current state, you are unable to solve the problem here. And like the previous spirits, you will only provide energy to the other side.

The ripples paused for a moment, then continued,

After this kind of fluctuation ends, I'll try to seal this place first. Someone must be using the special energy field here to build an inter-dimensional space channel.

"Interdimensional portal!"

Leah and Layla both gasped.

Because those capable of constructing interdimensional space passages are god-level mages, the pinnacle of magic practitioners. There are no more than five such individuals on the entire magical continent, and they generally do not appear unless the fate of the magical continent is at stake.

Bart sighed, apparently he had guessed a few things himself, but he couldn't confirm them. Now that Ripple spoke up, he finally had some idea.

How long does this usually last

"The first time it was only half an hour, the second time it was an hour, this is the third time, I feel it will last at least an hour and a half."

Bart calculated for a moment then said.

"Then I'll go discuss with my friends first, and then come back over."

The Ripple courtesey greeted everyone before leading them back to their original positions, leaving the space where the power fluctuations of the flower sea were becoming more intense.

Lara didn't need to say a word. She simply opened a magic circle, encasing everyone within it and shielding them from all outside eyes.

"Lotus, our abilities are limited. How can we seal this place"

Leia was the first to speak.

"Of course I know, we don't even have contract Phantasms, so we can't exert our full strength. So I think we should combine our powers to build a composite magic circle and temporarily seal this place, then find someone else to help us."

"If a composite magic array is controlled by the same mage, there should be no problem. But the three of us constructing one together will probably be difficult. The properties of the magic array, the size and balance of its power, these are all issues."

Leia didn't back down from the challenge. Instead, she began to consider the feasibility of Lian's proposal and the potential operational difficulties it presented.

"Actually, I think the best time to seal them would be when they are trying to build a portal on the other side. At least that way we let them know that we're aware of what they're doing and capable of stopping them."

Liayi also shared her thoughts.

Grey and Raul weren't good with magic, they just frowned and listened to the three of them analyze.

"Young Master Lian, Miss Leia, you were too reckless! Why didn't you notify the head of the family"es of my pursuers. If it weren't for my five brothers' timely intervention, I'd probably be a ghost now."The white-robed cultivator chuckled wryly.Ripples caught a whiff of something with a story to t...
