After school, Feng Yuan didn’t leave imdiately but kept staring at the oval stone on the Guanshi Terrace. Mr. Lu noticed Feng Yuan’s behavior and approached, asking in confusion,
"Feng Yuan, is there sothing wrong with this thing?"
"Problem... not exactly, or rather, it seems there’s a slight issue with the Guanshi Terrace."
Seeing Mr. Lu’s surprised expression, Feng Yuan suspected he might have misunderstood and quickly added,
"It’s not that there’s a problem with this Guanshi Terrace, but with that Resonance Stone. You probably didn’t succeed in fully restoring it, but... the focus is on what’s behind it."
"Wait, are you saying that the Great Stone the Guanshi Tower is searching for..."
Realizing sothing, Mr. Lu looked at Feng Yuan in shock. The students who hadn’t left yet also turned to look at Feng Yuan. Although not everyone was familiar with the Guanshi Tower, during their break tis of dismantling the chanisms, they had checked the information on their phones and naturally knew the public info about the Guanshi Tower.
Although it’s unclear what the Great Stone refers to, everyone assud the Great Stone probably didn’t exist.
However, Feng Yuan’s words made them think twice, as he was accompanied by two Divine Beasts and might know a lot of information that ordinary people didn’t, which was why Mr. Lu didn’t imdiately refute him.
"Are you planning to track the whereabouts of the Great Stone?"
Opening his eyes, Agunas looked at Feng Yuan, flicking his tail, and asked. Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said,
"Not really, it’s just that there’s such a possibility. After all, I don’t even know what the Great Stone is, and there’s no Guanshi Tower nearby, so finding that thing would be quite troubleso."
The area governed by the Shengjing Dynasty doesn’t include this Maomu City area, so if Feng Yuan wanted to find the Guanshi Tower, he’d have to go northwest. But Feng Yuan was not willing to go through that trouble.
"If you want to investigate, I can help you."
"Forget it, there’s no need. After all these years, the Great Stone hasn’t caused any trouble; it’s unlikely anything major would happen just now."
Looking at Agunas, Feng Yuan smiled and said, he truly didn’t care much about this matter. The Great Stone obviously wouldn’t undergo any adverse changes; whether investigated or not, it poses no threat to the real world. So he naturally wasn’t in a hurry to find it.
"However, that Resonance Stone does indeed have so special movents, though very subtle. You should research it further to decide whether any adjustnts are needed."
Waving his hand, Feng Yuan patted Xiao Ji, signaling it to follow, then turned to leave. But before departing, he rembered sothing and said to Mr. Lu, who, hearing his words, kept scrutinizing the replica Resonance Stone.
Is there special movent? That ans so functional aspects of Guanshi Terrace have already been realized, but...
He understood Feng Yuan’s implication that restoring ancient ruins isn’t an endeavor where higher restoration is always better since so ancient ruins have connections with other elents. If the function of the Resonance Stone hides a danger, then a high restoration level could be a bad thing because it suggests that the Resonance Stone might impact the students.
"Could the Resonance Stone on the Guanshi Terrace have so issues?"
Standing nearby, listening to Feng Yuan’s conversation with Mr. Lu, Dou Yanlan couldn’t help but ask Feng Yuan, who thought for a mont before saying,
"Hard to say. Although I feel like it’s just resonating with so power, we must understand this might an broadcasting this location, so..."
Shaking his head, Feng Yuan truly wasn’t sure about the Resonance Stone’s situation since he hadn’t really looked into the information on the Guanshi Tower before and therefore wasn’t aware of potential risks.
"Broadcasting location?"
Dou Yanlan was taken aback, not expecting this answer. Smiling, Feng Yuan said,
"Yes, you know, in the Dynasty Era, there were many similar things like gathering marks or other markers that were essentially broadcasting a location, right? And the Resonance Stone of the Guanshi Tower is sothing similar, but instead of broadcasting to others, it’s to the Great Stone."
Saying this, Feng Yuan felt sothing was off. Pinching his chin and pondering for a mont, he said,
"It’s not entirely correct to put it that way. I feel like they probably wouldn’t just do sothing like that because it’s aningless and gives all the initiative to the Great Stone, unless it was the superiors of the Shengjing Dynasty. But that’s impossible, and the Dynasty Master wouldn’t allow such a thing either."
"In that case, maybe the Resonance Stone could attract the Great Stone, or perhaps that broadcast isn’t just about location but also..."
Dou Yanlan said, her expression turning sowhat unpleasant. Qi Chen interjected,
"A provocation? Wait! If that’s the case, wouldn’t places with Resonance Stones be dangerous?!"
"Hey! Why are you all so alard? If that thing really could attract the Great Stone, there would have been incidents long ago, not to ntion the weak signal strength of this semi-finished product of the academy."
Seeing the two looking intently at him, Feng Yuan said, feeling a bit guilty. Sighing, Qi Chen said helplessly,
"But with you involved, doesn’t the likelihood of incidents..."
"Hey, hey! What does that have to do with ? Those incidents objectively existed! It’s not like I caused them!"
"But it seems like you have increased the probability of incidents occurring."
Looking at Feng Yuan, Dou Yanlan said, not very certain. Seeing Feng Yuan’s expression of being deeply struck, Dou Yanlan chuckled softly and said,
"Of course, these are just our speculations. Maybe this isn’t the truth at all, and hopefully, it really isn’t."
"Of course not, I’m not a jinx! How could disasters strike wherever I go!"
"That’s hard to say, considering the odds; the likelihood of incidents around you is indeed higher."
Flicking his tail, Agunas said with a strange smile, and the argunt eventually ended with Qi Chen treating them. That evening, back in the dormitory, watching Xiao Ji training, Feng Yuan sat on the steps staring at the vast sky and said,
"What exactly is that Resonance Stone searching for? What do you think the Great Stone is?"
"It’s definitely not a Spirit Beast or a Divine Beast, otherwise we wouldn’t all be ignorant. No matter how secretive, a Spirit Beast or Divine Beast couldn’t be so concealed."
Veronia said calmly, standing aside with a teacup. After returning and learning about the Great Stone and Resonance Stone from Feng Yuan, she looked into her collection on the topic. As for asking in the Divine Beast intelligence network? Agunas had already inquired once, yielding no useful information.
Back when the Shengjing Dynasty’s search for the Great Stone caused a huge stir, those who lived through that period and even contacted the Dynasty Master knew that the Shengjing Dynasty themselves didn’t know what the Great Stone was, nor if it was an object or a Spirit Beast.
They only knew such an existence, leading many Divine Beasts to suspect that the Shengjing Dynasty Master who initially proposed seeking the Great Stone was delusional, given the information was so vague, why seek it?
But now that no one knows what it really is, it inevitably raises suspicions about whether the Great Stone is related to the external, or perhaps it’s another one of His tricks?
"It’s really a strange thing, and the energy field spread by the Resonance Stone is quite special. At least, I can confirm it’s not from the real world’s energy field. But, could there be such peculiar things in the Subspace?"
After pointing out several mistakes of Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan casually said, making Agunas pause. Glaring at Feng Yuan, he said fiercely,
"You didn’t ntion this before!"
"Didn’t I? Anyway, it’s not important. These matters of occupying special areas for secret communications are seen quite often, aren’t they?"
Glancing at Agunas, Feng Yuan smiled and said. Hearing this, Agunas snorted without retorting. Nowadays, indeed, many Subspaces that only allow special energy to pass are used by humans or Divine Beasts as layers for special communications, though it hadn’t expected the Great Stone to relate to this.
Was it possible that the thing was a human creation? Thinking this, it imdiately wasn’t as concerned anymore. If it’s sothing modern, fine. But creations from the Dynasty Era humans, except for those influenced by outsiders, basically posed no threat.
