Chapter 349: 349 will shake the entire human history! [1 more update]

The whereabouts of "Heavenly Inception Grand Canon," the largest encyclopedia of humanity, were finally known to her, as spoken by the Great Ancestor Ning himself.

Shenzhou also finally had greater hope.

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

"Little Junior Sister? Little Junior Sister, say something, don’t scare me!"

Ye Wanlan slowly exhaled. She came back to her senses, "Big Senior Brother, I’m fine, it’s just..."

She needed more time to digest the information she had learned today.

Seeing her finally respond, Xie Linyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Big Senior Brother." Ye Wanlan suddenly smiled faintly, "Today, I think your divination talents are no less than those of the Rong Family members. Have you considered switching careers?"

Xie Linyuan: "???"

He, a sword fanatic, learning fortune-telling?

Seeing his puzzled expression, Ye Wanlan knew that indeed, only she had been able to see the Great Ancestor Ning appear.

She sat cross-legged at the top of the tower, looking down at the bustling city below, and asked, "Big Senior Brother, do you know who I saw?"

"Who?" Xie Linyuan frowned, "You were like a soul departed just now. I called you for a long time and you didn’t respond. I even thought the treasure bead might have sucked in your soul or that some Art and Method had ensnared you."

Ye Wanlan chuckled silently: "I met the Great Ancestor of our Daning."

"What?!" Xie Linyuan almost jumped up, "Did the Great Ancestor Ning really appear because you summoned him?!"

"Sort of, not exactly." Ye Wanlan nodded faintly, "Indeed, it was my blood nourishing the Treasure Bead that made the Great Ancestor appear, but he too had been waiting for me for six hundred years."

She briefly described how the Great Ancestor Ning, step by step and through a thousand bows, sought the Treasure Bead and exchanged a lifetime of merit to leave a wisp of lingering thought in this world.

Xie Linyuan was greatly shocked and muttered after a while, "Worthy of being the Great Ancestor..."

"Yes." Ye Wanlan said softly, "Worthy of being the Great Ancestor."

The mind and virtue of Great Ancestor Ning were saintly.

She also recalled a phrase from her conversation with Great Ancestor Ning.

She asked Great Ancestor Ning, "Great Ancestor, don’t you want to hear how future generations evaluate you?"

Future generations held Great Ancestor Ning in high esteem, calling him "the eternal wise monarch" and "the foremost founding emperor."

In the era of rapidly developing internet, netizens jokingly called him "the man with the standard playbook for thrilling narratives," skillfully turning a losing hand into a royal flush.

Either description highlighted the significance of Great Ancestor Ning in the history of Shenzhou and his outstanding contributions.

"What’s there to listen to?" At that time, Great Ancestor Ning laughed heartily, "If someone praises me, that’s what I deserve. If someone scolds me, what, am I supposed to jump out of my grave and beat him up?"

The matters after death were no longer necessary.

His lingering presence in this world wasn’t to hear future generations’ praise or criticism; it was simply to give Shenzhou a glimmer of hope, and to extend it a bit further.

For this, even if he had to spend all his merit bowing to Heaven and Earth in his imperial capacity, it was worth it.

In this moment, Great Ancestor Ning was not only regarded as an eternal wise monarch but deservedly called the first holy emperor of Shenzhou.

His deeds and influence spanned centuries, and even after death, he laid plans for hundreds of years, all for Shenzhou.

Interacting with Great Ancestor Ning, Ye Wanlan not only learned some secrets, but her own state of mind began to edge towards perfection.

Before her nocturnal venture to Phoenix Origin Pagoda, she had not imagined she would gain so much.

"Incredible, truly incredible." Xie Linyuan exhaled softly, "I was only joking, but I didn’t expect the joke to become reality."

Without Ye Wanlan saying it, he could guess what kind of tremendous changes the appearance of the Great Ancestor Ning would bring to Shenzhou.

"The Great Ancestor told me, ’Heavenly Inception Grand Canon’ is hidden under the Phoenix Origin Pagoda, seventy-seven feet down," said Ye Wanlan. "Big Senior Brother, let’s go and see for ourselves."

Xie Linyuan’s expression became serious, he nodded, and quickly he and Ye Wanlan were back at the first level of the Phoenix Origin Pagoda.

This first level attracted tens of thousands of visitors daily and was also assessed by professional archaeologists.

After centuries, had no one discovered its secret?

Ye Wanlan, with a calm demeanor, began searching for the mechanism specified by Great Ancestor Ning.

"Click!"

A sharp sound was heard, and the ground at the center started to rise slowly,

and then, a stone staircase leading into the depths appeared before them.

It seemed like an ordinary mechanism, yet only Ye Wanlan could activate it.

"Senior Brother, let’s go down." Ye Wanlan took out a flashlight, illuminating the pitch-dark stairs, and began to descend.

When they reached seventy-seven feet down, another door appeared in front of them.

Following what Great Ancestor Ning had described, she triggered the underground mechanism and opened the grand door.

"Whoosh—"

In an instant, there was a burst of light.

Ye Wanlan raised her hand to shield her eyes from the dazzling light, and after a few seconds, she realized that beneath the ground, there were hundreds of luminous pearls laid out.

Each pearl was the size of a fist and invaluable.

But that wasn’t the most important part. The most crucial were the scrolls piled on the bookshelves.

As far as the eye could see, there were dense clusters.

Each bookshelf was labeled with a number and categories—Heavenly Work, Art, Medicine, Yin Yang, Five Elements...

Ye Wanlan and Xie Linyuan were rooted to the spot, experiencing for the first time what it meant to be "as vast as a smoky sea."

This was the "Heavenly Inception Grand Canon," a divine book supervised and compiled by Great Ancestor Ning for thirty years and, after enduring six hundred years of obscurity, was finally seeing the light of day again.

"Little Junior Sister, with so many scrolls, the two of us... oh no, you alone can’t carry them all," Xie Linyuan gasped, "We need to find someone to help."

"It’s impossible!" Ye Wanlan’s expression grew cold, "This matter absolutely cannot be publicized widely, not even leaked. The fewer people who know, the better."

Not even Great Ancestor Ning had told a second person. Although he wanted to leave a lingering thought in this world, he made sure to directly tell her, indicating that he didn’t completely trust those around him.

Walls have ears.

The more people who know, even if they are trusted, the news can still spread uncontrollably.

If enemy nations knew that the original copy of "Heavenly Inception Grand Canon" was still intact, Shenzhou would definitely be plunged into chaos again.

Until professionals have fully grasped the knowledge and technology in "Heavenly Inception Grand Canon," it must remain a secret!

Only when Shenzhou has fully mastered the technology in "Heavenly Inception Grand Canon" can it be announced to the world.

"Right." A murderous intent flickered in Xie Linyuan’s eyes, "Little Junior Sister, although you were just born during the palace upheaval, it’s clear that one of the enemy’s goals was to destroy the ’Heavenly Inception Grand Canon.’"

He paused, "But how can we transport these scrolls?"

"No rush, the night is still long." Ye Wanlan walked to the shelf labeled "Heavenly Work," took out a scroll and unfolded it.

The handwriting was very well preserved, presumably, Great Ancestor Ning used numerous techniques to prevent scroll decay while compiling the original.

Ye Wanlan read a few lines and her heart was shaken for a long while.

Worthy of being the "Heavenly Inception Grand Canon."

The people from the Global Center only took some away during the original palace upheaval and saw such developments; she believed that even if the enemy from three hundred years ago came back, they would be enough to withstand them.

Ye Wanlan continued reading.

This reading lasted until the sun rose.

She put the scrolls back following their numbering, "I’ve decided whom to tell, Big Senior Brother, let’s go."

They exited following the path they had taken to enter, and the door was also properly closed.

Xie Linyuan frowned slightly, "I still feel it’s a bit insecure. Should I stay and guard here?"

"Don’t worry." Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow, "The Great Ancestor said only I can open this door, so without me, no one else can enter."

The foresight of Great Ancestor Ning reached a terrifying level.

He had hidden the "Heavenly Inception Grand Canon" under the Phoenix Origin Pagoda for six hundred years without it ever being discovered, even surviving the war involving thousands of troops three hundred years ago, which shows the high degree of security of this door.

Xie Linyuan paused, somewhat caught between laughter and tears, "You Xiang family members... really outdo each other in eccentricity."

"Thank you for the compliment." Ye Wanlan was composed, "If I meet Prince Brother later, I will also convey your words to him."

"Cough cough cough... don’t, absolutely not!" Xie Linyuan choked, "Little Junior Sister, let’s talk nicely."

He Jia is indeed a stern god of death, but he listens closely to Princess Yongning.

He definitely did not want to fight with He Jia again.

Ye Wanlan returned to the production team, and Professor Shen was just getting up.

"Professor Shen, please contact the manager of the Phoenix Origin Pagoda." Ye Wanlan said, "It’s a matter of great urgency; the pavilion must be closed immediately."

Professor Shen was taken aback but didn’t ask why, simply nodding: "Alright, no problem."

"Thank you, Professor Shen." Ye Wanlan went to a quiet place and took out her phone to contact Professor Xue in Yunjing.

"Wanlan?" Professor Xue was clearly only just awake. "Why are you calling me so early?"

"Professor Xue." Ye Wanlan spoke slowly, "I need the Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau, the President of Yunjing University, Curator Xiang, and a trustable academician from your research institute to come to the Southern Frontier to discuss this matter together."

Professor Xue, waking fully, had a sinking feeling in his heart, "You... what have you discovered again?!"

Would it really take four major figures to come together at once?
