Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2210

Shannon and her group had ventured deep into the River of Oblivion and arrived once more at the chroyan branch that had sunk into the river yet connected directly to the underworld.

Though they'd seen both Zidane and Morcedai use it to open the time-traveling portal, that wasn't their purpose this time.

"The Wynthorpe clan's Soul Tree is a manifestation of the chroyan branch's spiritual energy. They're naturally linked, so what we need to do now is open a passage between them."

With that, Mike set up an array around the chroyan branch.

He might seem flippant and money-hungry on the surface, but when it came to his specialty, his dedication and precision never wavered.

"By the threefold mystery, draw the triple path."

As the array lit up, so did the chroyan branch. Its bark shimmered and pulsed with growing light like it was being summoned. Slowly, tendrils of its branches began to stretch toward the void.

As if there was contact, a faint path flickered into existence. It was barely wide enough for a single person and looked unstable, like it could snap shut at any moment.

Fearing doubt from the group, he quickly clarified, "Something's wrong with the Soul Tree. Its link to the chroyan branch is extremely weak. If we wait any longer, we won't be able to get in."

Before anyone could reply, Thalia did not hesitate to grab Shannon and said, "I have a way."

She released a surge of supernatural energy and transformed into her five-tailed fox form right before their eyes. It was small and fluffy with oversized tails, but graceful enough to slip through the narrow passage.

Stirred by her supernatural energy, Shannon felt a sudden burst of instinctual understanding. She allowed herself to assume her fox demon form without a thought and shifted into a tiny figure.

Soon, she darted after Thalia into the passage.

Benjamin reacted on reflex. His body burst into golden light as he rushed to follow them, but the moment his golden light entered the passage, it was violently rejected.

A force flung him back across the ground and reformed him into human shape. He frowned and turned sharply to Mike.

Mike shrugged in defense and innocently said, "Not my fault!"

He had no idea why Soul Tree would reject Benjamin either. Logically speaking, there was no reason for it to do that.
