"Strange..." Tang Yuan muttered in bewilderment. "I don't sense any particularly powerful formation fluctuations. What power is keeping this pavilion suspended above the yellow sand?"
Jiang Ruoyun was equally astonished. "The billowing yellow sand supporting the pavilion below keeps flowing without end. Why does it feel alive? It doesn't seem like ordinary yellow sand."
Lu Feng said gravely, "It is alive!"
The two of them froze at once.
Zhu Yizhong, Miao Qiuyun, and the others all looked over in shock as well.
Lu Feng said in a low voice, "I sensed it. Dense life auras are emanating from that rolling yellow sand. They seem to be some sort of strange, special microalgae gathered together. Though these algae are as tiny as grains of sand, their numbers are immense. The power they unleash in a frenzy cannot be underestimated."
Tang Yuan secretly probed and found it was indeed so, leaving him deeply shaken. "There is actually such a bizarre colony of tiny beasts in this world? To the naked eye, they look exactly like grains of yellow sand. No, they are far smaller even than yellow sand."
From that perception, he finally understood the true reason why the Floating Sand Ghost Pavilion floated above the yellow sand.
What churned and surged beneath it was not yellow sand at all, but countless algae even smaller than sand grains. Judging by the area from which they rose, they seemed bound beneath the pavilion, unable to scatter outward at will.
After the Nine Directions Plate was drawn into the pointed roof of the pavilion, the tiny algae colony seemed to sense something and desperately sought to burrow into the pavilion. That was what created the spectacle of them swarming upward like a hive, pushing the Floating Sand Ghost Pavilion out of the yellow sand.
