Chapter 611: 611 Shock, Atlantians! [1 more update]

Academician Wu was naturally astonished.

She certainly knew what the most core technology of the submarine they designed was.

It was not the engine, not the turbine, even less so any single part.

It was how to make the submarine, once it reached the Nanling Sea, not be affected by the interference of the Nanling Sea.

After all, the Nanling Sea Floor is also listed as an extremely dangerous area by the Global Center.

This was also the source of Academician Wu’s headache.

Ordinary submarines could go anywhere, but if you want to explore the Nanling Sea, you must overcome this core issue.

Ye Wanlan actually said the core issue could be resolved?

"Old Wu, I’ve found something." Ye Wanlan said with a faint smile, "I think, its master would also wish for it to protect Shenzhou."

The Ocean Stabilizing Pearl can calm the sea and ensure the safe passage of ships for a certain period.

Both the Nanling Sea and the Beiing Sea had previously raised many sea tornadoes and large waves, and it was Mount Penglai that took out the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl to help fishermen go out to sea safely.

Under the sea, the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl has a similar function.

An elder from Mount Penglai once carried the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl to the bottom of the Nanling Sea, which is why the records related to the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl remind the later generations not to enter the Nanling Sea just because they have the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl.

Otherwise, once their Inner Strength is exhausted, they would be completely swallowed by the sea.

But now it’s different, the high-tech development of today’s society means science and mysterious studies are inherently interconnected; perhaps there’s a way to perfectly integrate the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl into the submarine.

That way, the submarine would have the function of the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl.

Ye Wanlan has never been an advocate of absolutes; she always believed that various fields could integrate with each other to achieve a greater-than-sum effect.

Even, Penglai and Beiming Taoist Arts could be explained with the language of science—

A certain power within the body, when it activates the natural forces of Heaven and Earth, can call winds and summon rain, or draw lightning from the clouds.

But many major forces fail to realize this, especially families like the Lin Family.

The Lin Family only venerates the Heavenly Music Method, despising and excluding modern technology.

Self-enclosed, they will ultimately bring about their demise.

"Wan... Wanlan, you’re not trying to scare me, are you?" Academician Wu’s body shivered involuntarily again and her heart was pounding uncontrollably, "If... if..."

Hearing this, Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow: "Old Wu, although I scared you, I never lie. But to actually use it in practice, I still need to do some experiments."

"Alright, no problem!" Academician Wu said without hesitation, "I’ve already given you the highest authority, you can freely call upon personnel and equipment."

Without Ye Wanlan finding the Heavenly Inception Grand Canon, even this current experiment wouldn’t exist.

"I hope we can succeed." Ye Wanlan said softly, "I’m really looking forward to that day."

The call ended, and she looked again at the deep blue pearl in her hand, taking a deep breath.

The arrival of the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl was just too timely.

This made her increasingly suspect that Rong Shi might have done something in this matter.

If there was anyone in this world who could make flawless calculations, it would be Rong Shi.

She had confronted him many times and had also asked him about numerous problems.

Ye Wanlan frowned slightly.

Unfortunately, what the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl showed her in history only went up to the annihilation of Penglai and Beiming factions.

What exactly the Master of Highest Heaven Tower and Rong Shi said and did afterward, she knew nothing about.

It seems that she must find ancient relics related to Rong Shi before she can be pulled back into the past.

So, what is Rong Shi’s obsession?

"Ah Lan, we should leave first." Xing Yue held her shoulder, "Although Xiao Rong said the Rong Family held back the other families, they will definitely still come in pursuit."

"Yes." Ye Wanlan safely stored the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl, "Let’s go."

"However, before leaving, there is one thing that needs to be resolved—let me restore it," Xing Yue hummed and extended her hand.

She used her Art and Method to transport distant rocks and soil over, filling the deep pit.

Indeed, Shenzhou Taoism Technique is miraculous, now the flattened ground leaves no clue to what had transpired here.

The three had just left when, after five minutes, people sent by the other Four Great Families arrived at the "scene of the event" and were all enveloped in a collective silence.

After receiving the news, Lin Shiyuan narrowed her eyes: "It must be something valuable, otherwise the Rong Family wouldn’t bury the traces."

What could something that fell from the sky like a meteorite be?

Lin Shiyuan pressed her temples, pondering continuously.

Regrettably, she couldn’t figure it out at all.

This somewhat irritated her; lately, she found there were too many things she could not see through.

Lin Shiyuan didn’t like this feeling, that things were beyond her control. After a long pause, she asked again, "What about Ye Wanlan?"

"The past two days she has been frequently visiting Yunjing University," the young man replied respectfully, "Yunjing University is indeed about to start its term. If Miss Shiyuan pleases, you could simply make trouble for Yunjing University, forcing them to revoke Ye Wanlan’s enrollment."

"Absolutely not!" Lin Shiyuan exclaimed, "That would be a foolish act!"

The young man hastily said, "It is my stupidity, please forgive me, Miss Shiyuan."

"She represents our Lin Family when outside and also our family’s reputation," said Lin Shiyuan in a light voice, "and there’s a saying that has been true from ancient times to the present—"

She stretched out her hand and gently plucked a string of the zither: "Whoever wins the hearts of the people, wins the world."

However, her energy was limited, so it would be better to let Ye Wanlan attract the hearts of ordinary people for her.

"You truly are Miss Shiyuan," the young man admired wholeheartedly, "This way, she is merely serving you."

Lin Shiyuan said no more and continued to play the zither.

Meanwhile, Ye Wanlan and Xing Yue followed Rong Qi back to the Rong Family.

"Is it really the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl?" Old Master Rong, after hearing the story, was so surprised that he tore out a wisp of his beard.

"Indeed," Ye Wanlan nodded, "I would like to study the object in the back mountain these next few days, and I will need your assistance, Elder Rong."

"No problem, feel free to stay," said Old Master Rong with a beaming smile, "The back mountain can even shield the Heavenly Mechanism, it is perfect for your research."

Ye Wanlan smiled faintly: "Thank you, Elder Rong."

She headed to the back mountain, and Old Master Rong turned to Rong Qi, "Increase the patrol of the guards immediately, and seek help from other families if necessary."

"Grandfather?" Rong Qi was initially stunned then realized, "Do you mean, someone is intending to steal the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl?"

"Hmm, a shadow that lurks in the dark has started to stir again," Old Master Rong spoke gravely, "But the shielding is too strong, I cannot confirm."

"Understood," Rong Qi nodded, "I will have someone prepare right away."

Xing Yue dusted off the dust from her clothes: "If there truly is trouble, I will stand in front; if all else fails, I will call the old man over."

At this moment, in a certain place on Earth.

It was an extremely empty area, with something resembling an altar in the middle, with deep blue orbs of light floating on either side, captivating to the soul.

And right in front of the altar was a person dressed like a priest.

Beneath the platform, many people gathered, somewhat bewildered by why this ritual had suddenly ceased.

"The Ocean Stabilizing Pearl has appeared in the world; this object poses a great threat to our clan," the person spoke indifferently, "Who will go to Shenzhou Land Continent to retrieve it and offer it to the supreme wisdom?"

With these words, people below began to stir, whispering amongst themselves, but none stepped forward.

"The Ocean Stabilizing Pearl? Wasn’t it lost three hundred years ago?"

"I’ve read a description of the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl in books, Shenzhou actually possesses such a Divine Object; it truly is enviable."

"Hmph, what’s there to fear? Let them cling to the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl all they want, I want to see how long they can survive under the sea, even the people from three hundred years ago would be of no use!"

Amidst the murmurs, a young man stepped forward, bowing with folded fist: "I am willing to travel to Shenzhou Land Continent and retrieve the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl!"

"Very well," the person smiled, "The last time someone was sent to Yunjing was more than forty years ago, they are old now, but we are not."

It was time, once again, for the Five Great Families of Yunjing to see just how weak their power really was!
