Chapter 1665: Chapter 1666: Preliminary Investigation
According to the inspection, there is an undetectable space beneath Mingjing Lake, and based on their analysis, it should belong to a special subspace ruin. After hesitating for a mont, Ye Hanlei contacted ng Binglan to inform her of the matter.
Holding the confidential information sent by Ye Hanlei, ng Binglan rested her chin on her hand, pondering and saying,
“A special subspace? It’s sowhat similar to that space in Lake Bai Dao, but much less concealed. In terms of continuity, it’s not as good as Veronia’s World of Mirrors. It can basically be concluded as a normal ancient ruin, except the danger level…”
Although she wasn’t tasked with evaluating it, once she received the information, she subconsciously began analyzing the details. Having experienced so much, she no longer rushes in blindly as she used to. Even if it’s not as perilous as the area Veronia previously occupied, anything involving subspace is hard to predict…
As for whether Feng Yuan is going there too? Ye Hanlei had speculated on that guy’s purpose and even discussed it with her. She agrees with Ye Hanlei’s guess that he probably doesn’t need anything from the ruins. Going there proactively? It’s likely to gain experience for his friends.
Should she give him a hand? Sitting at her desk, fingers tapping on the surface, ng Binglan pondered, finally deciding to help him out. Picking up the landline, she dialed Maomu Academy’s number.
“Will you be going back with us or staying in the dormitory?”
Getting off the train, Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan and asked. At this ti, the head teachers had already checked the students from each class to ensure no one was missing. Therefore, not everyone needed to return to the academy. Those local could go ho over the weekend without a problem.
Thinking for a mont, Feng Yuan picked up Xiao Ji, indicating it to transform into Eggshell Chicken form and placed it on his head, saying,
“Let’s go ho. Anyway, Agunas needs to collect the Spiritual dicine and Materials for the next two days.”
Although Agunas had previously stored a few days’ worth of materials, it hadn’t considered weekend trips, resulting in the supply only being sufficient for the Small Fla Wolf until today. With their exploration of Mingjing Lake tomorrow, there wouldn’t be enough ti to search for Spiritual dicine and Materials, so Agunas decided to prepare a bit more this ti.
Feng Yuan thought Agunas could collect a month’s worth of materials at once, but Agunas insisted that using fresh Spiritual dicine ensures maximum efficacy. Feng Yuan was too lazy to argue about it. Since Agunas preferred the hassle, he couldn’t stop it.
Returning ho, the first thing Qi Chen and Qi Xiaoshuang talked about wasn’t anything else but rather inquired about her grades, causing Feng Yuan, who was secretly observing, to chuckle. Qi Xiaoshuang just showed a trace of impatience. After learning Feng Yuan’s plan, she couldn’t help but help them investigate online resources.
Compared to Feng Yuan, who directly obtained information from the Special Duty Team, the data Qi Xiaoshuang could find wasn’t as comprehensive, but it definitely contained a lot of folklore information compared to official data.
“Mingjing Lake is related to the teor Pavilion of the Tianqiong Dynasty? This rumor is quite interesting.”
Examining the information gathered by Qi Xiaoshuang, Feng Yuan remarked with an inscrutable expression. The teor Pavilion was relatively famous in the Divine Land Region because it was the place that harbored an ominous teorite. The teorite, allegedly descending from the sky to disrupt the sacrificial ceremony of the Tianqiong Dynasty, was said to be sealed in the teor Pavilion.
Moreover, after the sacrificial ceremony incident, the national power of the Tianqiong Dynasty continuously declined, heading toward the end of its era. In other words, that teorite was also the turning point for the decline of the dynasty. Such an artifact that holds special significance has never been discovered, which is indeed quite peculiar.
“Buildings of the Tianqiong Dynasty are typically constructed in high places. How could this so-called teor Pavilion appear at a lake bottom? It seems unlikely.”
Veronia speculated, pinching her chin, while Feng Yuan glanced at the two Divine Beasts and said,
“It’s not impossible. The Tianqiong Dynasty regarded the sky as the sacred land, but this doesn’t an they would treat the teorite that disrupted the sacrificial ceremony with respect. If you look at it this way, it might not only be within Mingjing Lake but could even be built at the bottom of the lake, in an underground space they called ‘Heaven Forsaken,’ where the teor Pavilion would be constructed to store the teorite.”
“That indeed could be possible. However, if it’s really like this, could the teor Pavilion built by the Tianqiong Dynasty really have gone undiscovered for so long?”
Suspiciously looking at Feng Yuan, Agunas said doubtfully. No matter how you say it, the Tianqiong Dynasty was in the dian of the Dynasty Era. How could so much ti pass without anyone excavating their ruins?
“Who in the Dynasty Era would go around digging out such ominous things? Even if it’s found, what would they do with it? Aren’t they afraid of bringing disaster to their own dynasty?”
Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan replied irritably, compared to modern tis, the Dynasty Era was clearly more taboo about these matters. In fact, due to the presence of the Fate Series and Mystic Series, real and effective ominous items still exist in modern tis. Curses originating from the Mystic Series or Fate Series could be quite harmful to ordinary people.
However, with the Alliance and various national regulatory bodies, these troubleso things can be quickly resolved properly. Of course, Feng Yuan doesn’t believe that his luck would be bad enough to encounter an ominous item; blaming that teorite for the Tianqiong Dynasty’s decline was inappropriate anyway.
Historically speaking, the Tianqiong Dynasty had already reached its peak during that period. As for the subsequent decline, it wasn’t much different from the normal dynasty cycle, so Feng Yuan doesn’t really believe that thing contains a curse.
“Once we get there, we’ll know the truth, right? If the teor Pavilion truly exists, confirming its authenticity shouldn’t be too hard?”
Veronia said nonchalantly. Its judgnt was straightforward. It had inquired with Feng Yuan if he was aware of the data and learned that Great Xia had already sent an archaeological team to investigate Mingjing Lake. From this, it could deduce that at least a powerful curse wouldn’t erupt suddenly.
A slowly functioning curse? That wouldn’t be a problem for them. For Divine Beasts, as long as it’s not a curse at the sa level, it’s relatively easy to dispel.
Early the next morning, Feng Yuan and Qi Chen made their way to the train station to gather with the team. However, along the way, he felt Qi Chen was acting strange. Only upon arriving at the train station did he understand why.
“Is this a class field trip?”
Seeing Teacher Wu leading the group, Feng Yuan was stunned. ng Binglan waved at him, saying,
“I’m joining your mission. You wouldn’t mind, would you?”
“Not at all, but you are—”
Looking at ng Binglan dressed as an explorer, Feng Yuan found it odd. Surely she wasn’t planning an expedition herself?
“Beneath Mingjing Lake, there’s a ruin with an undetectable area. Judging from my communication with them, it seems to be a special region akin to a subspace area, sowhat resembling the special space on Lake Bai Dao in the past.”
“Multi-layered compound sealing?”
Veronia rotated the parasol in her hand, suspiciously regarding ng Binglan. Back then, her Space of Mirrors wasn’t simple, with an external shield layered on top of it, and internally, it was her World of Mirrors. However, is this teor Pavilion really that unique?
“Not quite, it’s more about the nature. It’s not an ordinary subspace but one with self-concealnt and protection. Specifically, you’ll need to see it for yourselves to be clear. Besides that, while other areas haven’t been thoroughly explored, it’s presud there isn’t much threat.”
ng Binglan glanced at Teacher Wu while speaking. Without the archaeological team’s evaluation, the academy wouldn’t have agreed to her proposal. After all, their teacher had only Legendary Level abilities—taking a team out, as long as they didn’t enter overly dangerous ruins, wasn’t an issue. But the unknown ruin beneath Mingjing Lake needed careful consideration.
Of course, as long as they kept their distance, strictly speaking, there shouldn’t be any issues. Current research indicates that the unknown space predates the underwater ruin construction, aning that the underwater ruins shouldn’t surpriseingly transport any personnel into a special space within.
