Chapter 610: 610 Sacrificing oneself for the cause, protect Shenzhou! [2 more]

Penglai and Beiming Sect, both originally aloof from worldly affairs and refraining from Martial World disputes, yet in the year 1723 of the Shenzhou Calendar, when bandits invaded, disciples from both sects descended the mountain to oppose the enemies, never to return.

...

Ye Wanlan closed her eyes, and upon opening them again, the figures of Yue Zheng and Xing Yun were no longer visible.

All she could see were two extremely bright spheres of light in the sky.

She knew that Yue Zheng and Xing Yun were burning their own lifeforce.

The flame of life, a brilliance not even the sun could surpass.

However, Penglai and Beiming Sect joining the battlefield did not reverse the situation.

But indeed, it significantly delayed the progress of time.

Ye Wanlan saw that tens of thousands of disciples from Penglai and Beiming had used their bodies as focal points of the magical formation, forming a great array that kept the enemies outside of Fengyuan City, to allow the Master of Highest Heaven Tower to channel the extreme forces of Heaven and Earth, Yin Yang, and Five Elements.

After confirming that this was not merely a simple historical flashback, Ye Wanlan knew that things would not stop with her departure.

It’s just that she couldn’t see the subsequent story; this was an experience that the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl could grant her.

Therefore, Ye Wanlan did not know that after she left, the Master of Highest Heaven Tower and the Great Purity Sect Leader Rong Shi had already met.

Rong Shi, as the most brilliantly talented genius of the Great Purity Sect, a rarity in a hundred generations, possessed incredible divination abilities.

But correspondingly, whether it was probing into the Heavenly Mechanism or meddling with the fate of others, he himself would suffer backlash.

Therefore, Rong Shi’s health was extremely weak.

Even with the Divine Doctor from the Taiyi Palace residing permanently in the Great Purity Sect to treat him, Rong Shi was now at the point where walking a few steps would leave him gasping for breath.

The man was pale in complexion, but still strikingly gorgeous, with an ethereal quality reminiscent of otherworldly transcendence, much like the elusive mist in mountain gorges, or the gentle flow of a trickling stream.

"I have been waiting for Tower Master for a while," Rong Shi coughed a few times before continuing with a faint smile, "Has Tower Master made a decision?"

The Master of Highest Heaven Tower nodded lightly: "I ask for Brother Rong’s assistance."

Rong Shi did not answer directly but instead asked, "I see some confusion in the Tower Master, may I know what troubles you?"

"Just now..." The Master of Highest Heaven Tower paused for a moment, recounting the events prior, "Because I also do not know who this person really is."

Rong Shi pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "A person from the past, but also from the future."

Hearing this, beneath the mask, the Master of Highest Heaven Tower’s brows unconsciously furrowed.

Past and future, inherently a pair of opposing and contradictory terms,

How could one be a person from the past and yet also from the future?

What could be the reason for this?

"If the Tower Leader cannot figure it out, then there’s no need to dwell on it," Rong Shi smiled, "because there are many things in this world that are forever incomprehensible and will never have a conclusion."

With these words, his expression still carried a smile, but his eyes dimmed slightly.

Everyone said there was nothing he couldn’t see under heaven, but it wasn’t until this war descended, with the King of Yan and Prince of Chu dying in battle, that he finally foresaw some of the future.

"Brother Rong speaks wisely. If it’s incomprehensible, then let’s not ponder upon it, as it would only add to our troubles," the Master of Highest Heaven Tower finally smiled, "I have brought the only Life-Devouring Gu, Brother Rong, please—"

His physical strength indeed could be considered the strongest in the world, but to resist the force of Heaven and Earth, Yin Yang, and the Five Elements was still far from adequate.

This required embedding the Life-Devouring Gu into his body, ensuring that his body would continue to repair itself after being torn apart for a certain duration.

He had never experienced such pain, but it did not concern him.

Rong Shi watched intently at the man who never showed his true self to the world.

He had not seen through the fate of the Master of Highest Heaven Tower, just as he couldn’t see through that of Princess Yongning.

Princess Yongning had already passed away, so the Master of Highest Heaven Tower was now the last sliver of hope at this very moment.

This sliver of hope must be preserved.

With that thought, Rong Shi’s smile deepened, "Then, I ask Tower Master to have a good sleep."

He would assist this Supreme Martial Arts Master to open his eyes and see the future of Shenzhou.

History unfolded over several hours, yet now but a fleeting instant.

In Xing Yue’s eyes, Ye Wanlan had only received a slight shock while picking up the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl, standing still for a second or two, just the blink of an eye.

"Ah Lan!" Xing Yue also leaped down, "Ah Lan, are you alright? This pearl..."

Ye Wanlan didn’t respond, her gaze still fixated on her palm, which was shrouded in blood.

All the way here, she had seen her dearest Prince Brother fall in front of her, followed by the entire Xiang Imperial Family.

From Tianyin Sect, Sword Saint Sect to Penglai and Beiming Sect, all of it was an unbearable agony of life she could not withstand.

In the life of Princess Yongning, she and Yue Zheng, Xing Yun were not acquainted.

But having seen Yue Zheng and Xing Yun’s suicidal resolve, she found it somewhat unacceptable.

"Ah Lan?" Seeing that Ye Wanlan remained unresponsive, Xing Yue became anxious, waving her hand in front of her, "Ah Lan!"

Just then, a familiar voice rang out, "Xing Yue, Miss Ye!"

Xing Yue turned around and saw Rong Qi rushing over above the giant pit.

The Ocean Stabilizing Pearl had caused a massive pit in Yunjing, undoubtedly alarming many.

Rong Family, taking this as a sign of Heavenly Mechanism, blocked other forces and Rong Qi arrived first.

"Not expecting to find Xing Yue here as well," Rong Qi paused, "What happened to Miss Ye? And the loud noise here, did you see what it was?"

Xing Yue stammered, "I... As I was walking with Ah Lan, the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl fell from the sky, creating a huge pit in the ground."

"The Ocean Stabilizing Pearl?" Rong Qi’s expression shook, a trace of disbelief, "One of Penglai’s three Holy Objects?"

Ye Wanlan was still holding the deep blue pearl in her hand; she finally came back to her senses, speaking lightly, "Indeed."

In the past, she saw Yue Zheng and Xing Yun handing over all three Magical Treasures to the Master of Highest Heaven Tower and Rong Shi, to invoke the power of Heaven and Earth, Five Elements, and Yin Yang.

So, could the descent of the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl be related to Rong Shi?

Perhaps Rong Shi had foreseen this, which is why she encountered the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl today.

"It truly is the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl!" Rong Qi couldn’t help but gasp, "I didn’t expect this Magical Treasure to still exist."

The Ocean Stabilizing Pearl might seem like the most useless one among the three Magical Treasures of the Mountain of Penglai, but for them now, it’s actually the most important one.

"Indeed, who would have thought the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl would just appear like this," Ye Wanlan pulled out her phone and immediately contacted Academician Wu.

"Wanlan?" Academician Wu picked up quickly, "What’s up? Why the sudden call?"

"Old Wu." Ye Wanlan spoke deliberately, "Perhaps, we can directly resolve our most critical technology."

Academician Wu was taken aback, his voice escaping him, "What did you say?!"
