Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl-Chapter 831. A powerful hidden move, Emperor Ning Taizu’s Treasure revealed! [1st update]

Chapter 831: 831. A powerful hidden move, Emperor Ning Taizu’s Treasure revealed! [1st update]

This is a colossal treasure trove, with a cave connecting to the entire mountain range.

A glance reveals mountains full of gold and silver jewels, jade ore, and countless black iron armor and frostbite blades.

Besides, there are also various seeds and herbs.

Ye Wanlan carefully observed that these herbal seeds were extinct in Shenzhou today. The Battle of Ten Thousand Armies caused not only human casualties for Shenzhou but also severe environmental damage.

Even after more than three hundred years of reconstruction, the irreversible damage inflicted on the soil cannot be restored.

Those extraterrestrial invaders aimed to destroy not only the Ning Dynasty but also to kill the heroes and warriors of the Six Great Sects, the Four Directions Nobility, and others. Their goal was to make Shenzhou uninhabitable.

They wanted to sever Shenzhou’s cultural roots, making it impossible for heritage to be passed down. Thus, many heavenly materials and earthly treasures cannot grow in Shenzhou, and various intangible cultural heritage has quietly vanished without a trace.

When Ye Wanlan returned to Shenzhou, both Su embroidery and Kunqu opera were in jeopardy, with only one branch of successors left.

At that time, she hadn’t thought it through, assuming that it was merely the passage of time and the replacement of ancient culture by advanced technology that caused the decline of these cultural artifacts.

But now, Ye Wanlan could confirm that it was originally all part of the invaders’ conspiracy.

First, they destroyed Shenzhou’s spiritual civilization and cultural arts, then they allowed the Global Center to gradually claim what originally belonged to Shenzhou.

If this continues, within no more than a few years, Shenzhou will truly disappear from this world, never to exist again.

However, they underestimated the People of Shenzhou.

Even with all the intangible cultural heritage in decline, and some successors so impoverished that they couldn’t feed themselves, they never gave up and continued to pass on these heritages from generation to generation.

It was never any celestial beings that saved Shenzhou, but the People of Shenzhou themselves.

Ye Wanlan gazed blankly at the endless treasure, tears unexpectedly falling one by one.

"Xiao Wan!" Yan Tingfeng’s voice came from behind her, gripping her wrist, his brows furrowing, "Are you alright?"

He had seen the cave open earlier and wanted to enter together with Ye Wanlan, but was frozen in place by a white light for a full three seconds.

Three seconds is short, but even a tenth of a second is enough to take a person’s life.

"I’m fine," Ye Wanlan said softly, "I just... saw the Great Ancestor."

Yan Tingfeng’s eyes suddenly flickered: "Great Ancestor Ning?"

"Yes," Ye Wanlan slowly raised her head, "The Great Ancestor said he had already learned from the able people of his time that a great disaster would befall Shenzhou in the future, a disaster that could not be avoided. So, he preserved the last embers of the Ning Dynasty."

The "Heavenly Inception Grand Canon" lies beneath the Phoenix Origin Pagoda, while other treasures were relocated to Atlantis.

The most dangerous place is also the safest place.

Whether beneath the Phoenix Origin Pagoda or this cave, only Princess Yongning could unlock it.

No wonder, for six hundred years, countless people have been searching for Emperor Ning Taizu’s Treasure but never found it.

Because all these treasures were here.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, it’s wonderful! With these resources, we can definitely enhance our capabilities!" Qingyun Pendant was overjoyed, "It’s truly worthy of the Great Ancestor!"

Heart Protecting Bracelet nodded in agreement, "With such enormous resources, we could train an army of one hundred thousand elite soldiers."

"The Great Ancestor fooled everyone," Jade Luan Pin couldn’t help but marvel, "Now that all the treasures belong to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Great Ancestor can finally rest easy."

"I see," Yan Tingfeng also understood everything in a blink, his furrowed brows relaxing, "Placing it in Atlantis means the enemy cannot find it."

"Your Royal Highness the Princess!" Qingyun Pendant suddenly became excited again, "Look, there’s a stone tablet over there, with words on it!"

Ye Wanlan followed the voice and saw that the stone tablet was buried under gold, with only a corner exposed. freewebnσvel.cѳm

She stepped forward and dug out the stone tablet, which indeed had engraved characters.

The characters were engraved with deep inner strength and unmistakably in Great Ancestor Ning’s handwriting—

"If descendants find this place, all treasures are to be returned to Shenzhou.

Enemies remain relentless in their desire to destroy Shenzhou, I must ignite my Azure Blood Pill Heart.

If I alone cannot illuminate eternity, I can at least illuminate a moment for the people, and that is enough."

This represented Great Ancestor Ning, as well as countless others.

Ye Wanlan slowly exhaled and whispered, "I should do the same."

Though she was but a small glow, she would use all she had to light up the places where sunlight could not reach.

Ye Wanlan turned the stone tablet over and discovered writing on the back as well.

It was a rougher and more straightforward style.

"Atlantis ultimately does not belong to this world; the passage will close one day. I have left a path here; passing through it leads directly to the space beneath the Phoenix Origin Pagoda."

"Tingting!" Ye Wanlan’s hand trembled, "The Great Ancestor left a passage, we can return to Shenzhou from here, and then bring people to transfer these treasures away."

Yan Tingfeng’s expression shifted, nodding slightly, "Okay."

The two followed the directions on the stone tablet and found the passage left by Great Ancestor Ning.

"This is the passage from Atlantis to Shenzhou, but it won’t last long, only six shichen; descendants, it’s all up to you!"

Ye Wanlan and Yan Tingfeng exchanged glances and walked into the passage.

At that moment, in the Southern Frontier, beneath the Phoenix Origin Pagoda.

The archaeological team was still working tirelessly, day and night, without relaxation.

"Professor Xue, where has Miss Ye gone? Haven’t seen her for some time?" the team leader asked, "The team’s brothers and sisters all miss Miss Ye."

"Miss Wanlan?" Professor Xue rolled his eyes, "I think you guys just slack off when she’s around!"

"Hehe, you caught us," the team leader said sheepishly, scratching his head, "Isn’t it said that Miss Ye is a mascot? She can directly sense the location of artifacts, with her around, why worry about finding relics?"

"Get on with your work," Professor Xue chided, giving him a kick, "Wanlan has important things to deal with, get working."

He and Professor Foo haven’t rested either in recent months, busy with archaeology everywhere.

Professor Xue heard from Professor Yuwen and Academician Wu that Ye Wanlan went to Atlantis and might be gone for a long time.

He was excited but also regretted not being able to see Ye Wanlan off.

For archaeologists, Atlantis is also a sacred place.

Professor Xue sighed; his curiosity and questions would have to wait for Ye Wanlan to return.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion echoed, causing Professor Xue to spit out his water, then he shouted angrily, "Who’s making so much noise? What if the artifacts are damaged?"

"It’s not us, Professor Xue." The archaeology team members looked at each other, growing nervous.

Could it be they encountered tomb robbers again?

"The sound came from underground," the team leader frowned, "but there’s nothing inside, hey, Professor Xue!"

Professor Xue was already rushing down.

Smoke filled the area, shrouding the surroundings underground.

Professor Xue tread cautiously, remaining vigilant.

A faint chuckle arose from behind him, "Professor Xue, long time no see."
