Time passed second by second until the wind had blown the drifting petals back and forth twice before Nami Midori broke the silence: "I can’t open the void passage."
With Nami Midori’s strength, perhaps she could, with all her might, forcibly tear the void by relying on the vast natural energy and form a twisted void seam. But this seam wouldn’t be too large, and it would be extremely dangerous, so much so that not even Nami Midori could enter it.
As for constructing a stable void passage, Nami Midori couldn’t do it. Feng didn’t teach it, and even if he had, without magic power as a foundation, it still couldn’t be constructed.
Nami Midori wanted to go to the void but could only do so through the passage in that painting. However, the void represented by that painting wasn’t the void corresponding to the current position, so it was still to no avail.
Angel coughed twice: "In that case, let me take over."
After Angel advanced to an Official Wizard, the first thing he learned was how to enter the void, as it was crucial for escape endeavors.
Since there was no need to rush and there was no current danger, Angel did not need to consume precious demonic materials to open the Plane Corridor, he just needed to slowly construct a model to open a door to the void corresponding to the current coordinates.
This process took about two minutes.
An ancient light gate appeared in front of Angel just like that.
Angel and Nami Midori walked through the light gate one after the other, behind the door lay the vast dark void.
"This is the void corresponding to the Cloud Sea of Flowers," Angel said.
Entering the void, Angel carried with him a sense of vigilance, afraid that Nami Midori’s prediction would come true, and there would indeed be some observer hiding here. But upon arriving in the void and sensing the surroundings, Angel did not notice any hidden creatures within his perception range.
There was no spatial tempest typical of a treasure land here; everything seemed similar to any other part of the void.
Silent, dim, void... resembling a scene of chaos.
Angel turned to look at Nami Midori, intending to ask if its hypothesis was wrong. However, he found Nami Midori’s golden snake eyes at that moment covered by a faint green glow. This green glow transformed into mottled light spots, gradually blending with the surrounding darkness...
Angel knew that Nami Midori was sensing the surroundings, so he waited silently without disturbing it.
After a long while, Nami Midori finally opened her eyes.
From Nami Midori’s gaze, Angel did not see any emotional fluctuations. When he thought that Nami Midori had found nothing as well, Nami Midori suddenly said: "There are traces of abnormal fluctuations remaining."
There was indeed an anomaly?!
Angel, somewhat surprised, followed Nami Midori to a particular location, carefully sensing the residual traces in this current location as Nami Midori guided him.
However, Angel did not possess the strong and sensitive sense like Nami Midori; he couldn’t detect any trace of residual abnormal fluctuations.
Yet, his brow throbbed subtly, and his intuition told him that there might be some issues with the space fluctuations here.
Though intuition couldn’t serve as proof, it at least helped Angel understand that Nami Midori’s words were likely accurate. There might indeed be a problem here.
"Can you perceive the specific situation?" Angel asked.
Nami Midori shook her head: "Even though there are traces left, they are nearly disappearing, making it impossible to determine what the situation was at the time, let alone assess the observer’s condition."
——Since there indeed were unusual traces in the void, Nami Midori now believed in the existence of an observer.
Upon hearing this, Angel’s expression showed slight regret: "By now, they are surely no longer here... In the endless void, concealing a creature is too easy."
Meaning that to try finding the observer now would be very challenging.
Nami Midori pondered for a moment: "It’s not without a way."
Angel turned sharply to look at Nami Midori.
Nami Midori: "I do not know the observer’s purpose, but since they have observed you repeatedly, they likely have a way to pinpoint your location in Tidal World. Surely, their target must be you. Do you think they would give up now? Having observed you three times already, might there be a fourth time?"
Though Nami Midori said nothing more, Angel already somewhat understood its meaning.
Nami Midori: "I will hide a Yufu flower here in the void, and what you need to do is stay near the Vine House for the short term, waiting until a fourth observation."
The first three observations had many variables, proving uncontrollable.
However, if a fourth observation occurs in the future, knowing the observer hides in the void, and with Angel already on guard, the variables could be reduced, thereby narrowing the range of the observer or possibly finding and locking onto the observer.
As long as Angel remains near the Vine House, he can contain the observer’s location to this piece of void.
Nami Midori could also secretly log the observer’s situation by leaving a Yufu flower in the void.
Dominating the largest variable, "the observer’s location in the void," discovering the observer is only a matter of time.
"All prerequisites depend on whether the observer will attempt a fourth observation on you." Nami Midori looked at him: "Are you planning to give it a try?"
Angel pondered for a moment and finally nodded: "It’s worth a try."
He initially planned to stay at the Vine House for some time to contemplate ways of overcoming the spatial tempest to enter the treasure land.
Since the observer matter didn’t clash with this plan, they could proceed simultaneously.
Even if the observer does not observe Angel for the fourth time, not much time would be wasted.
Moreover, Angel believed, since the observer had repeatedly watched him, they wouldn’t suddenly stop. Unless they discover the hidden Yufu flower.
"As long as I deliberately conceal it, the Yufu flower is not easily discovered." Nami Midori said, gently shaking her emerald snake tail, a Yufu flower floated out.
After Nami Midori did something unknown, the Yufu flower began to dim shortly after appearing, as if darkness eroded it thoroughly, eventually merging with the void’s dimness and disappearing entirely.
Once the Yufu flower vanished, Angel immediately sensed it.
What Nami Midori said was true; Angel really could no longer sense the Yufu flower’s existence, even Earl Mi transformed into a wood element couldn’t discover the Yufu flower.
"To discover the Yufu flower would require at least a Legendary Level. Against a Legendary Level creature, resistance is futile." Nami Midori: "However, I still believe the observer’s strength is below Legendary Level, because a creature of Legendary Level has no need to observe you repeatedly."
