The World Tree fragment was barely a foot long, its surface mottled bronze. At the top was a branch as thick as a finger, bearing three emerald-green leaves; below, eight tiny roots of different colors took hold in the void.
It had originally rested quietly high above in Bai Yang's world. But when Bai Yang stepped into the Sage realm, it suddenly appeared atop the Innate Tai Chi Bagua Diagram, which was about to fade into the void.
Then the World Tree fragment merged directly into the yin-yang fish at the center of the Bagua Diagram!
Their minds were linked, so Bai Yang saw it clearly. The World Tree fragment, now merged with the yin-yang fish, extended its eight roots out from within it, each taking hold in one of the eight surrounding trigrams.
Right after that, Bai Yang discovered that the Innate Tai Chi Bagua Sacred Platform bearing his dharma image had begun spinning wildly, beyond his control. The Taiji Diagram revolved, and the trigrams flashed, as if deducing something.
What was going on?
Bai Yang was shocked. He tried to stop the Taiji Diagram, but it was no use. An invisible force had stripped him of control!
"What is the World Tree fragment trying to do?" he muttered, his heart pounding.
The World Tree was far too mysterious for him to comprehend, even after entering the Sage realm. Now that it had taken control of his Sacred Platform, Bai Yang felt a deep sense of helplessness.
Fortunately, he sensed no danger. With no way to interfere, all he could do was wait anxiously.
The World Tree merged into the yin-yang fish, its eight roots taking hold in the trigrams. The Innate Tai Chi Bagua Diagram spun wildly, and an unfathomable force began to brew within Bai Yang's world.
