Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 6 The Secrets of the Clan (Part Two)
The gold-edged blue booklet finally closed slowly, the ribbon immediately tied it back up, and it fluttered onto the table. Now, this booklet became the key to unlocking the Lan family's secrets on Penglai Island. Ancestral precepts guided everyone to Penglai Island to begin a different kind of life.

The elders immediately sprang into action, packing all their equipment and supplies, offering sacrifices to their ancestors, and taking one last, heartfelt look at the land they had lived on. The villagers rushed home to pack their belongings, preparing to evacuate. The village was bustling with activity, moving all sorts of supplies to the square, which was piled high with various items—equipment, furniture, utensils, pots and pans—everyone took what they could carry. They didn't know what they would find on the other side; if not, these were the essential materials that had sustained them in their early days.

After a full day of preparation, everyone had brought everything and was just waiting for the clan chief's command. So the clan chief and elders went to the mysterious room. The blue crystal was becoming increasingly unstable; the entire room seemed to be bound by a barrier, and a dazzling blue light filled the space, with energy fluctuations creating ripples like a magical mirror.

At this moment, the elders sat around the blue crystal, silently chanting ancient incantations. This was to break the taboo surrounding the blue crystal, allowing it to merge with the Blue Enchantress. The chants echoed throughout the room. Suddenly, the clan leader took out the blue book with gold edges, and the room burst into a burst of blue light, unleashing a violent, storm-like vibration of energy that instantly expanded, with an invisible pressure continuously rising.

"Crunch, crunch"

The invisible barrier is collapsing, in just a short while.

The sounds of "splashing" and "crackling" kept going on and on.

With a thunderous roar, a beam of multicolored blue crystal light burst through the barrier, soaring into the sky. Columns of light shot upwards, illuminating the entire mountain village like a scene from a fairy tale. Inside the room, a blinding white light filled the air, with swirling blue clouds. At that moment, a bright light emanated from the deep sea near Gantang Village. Giant waves rose from the seabed, and with each wave, a gleaming giant ship was slowly lifted to the surface by the blue light. The waves crashed, their roar deafening. A faint blue light surrounded the ship; it was as tall as a five-story building, hundreds of meters wide, and over a thousand meters long—a colossal vessel appeared before them.

Suddenly, a shimmering blue-gold crystal flew from the clouds into the ship and disappeared. The giant ship trembled, releasing a powerful pressure that spread outwards. It turned out the blue crystal was the ship's energy source. This was the Blue Enchantress spaceship the clan leader had spoken of. Magnificent, exquisite, and imposing, its hull emitting bursts of blue light, powerful energy ripples spreading around it. The villagers had never seen such a floating spaceship before; they were both mysterious and curious, eager to board and see it for themselves.

The clan chief maneuvered the Blue Enchantress spaceship and brought it to a steady stop in the center of the village square. Ladders were lowered from the ship, the hatches were opened, and the villagers boarded the Blue Enchantress spaceship in an orderly manner. With a large amount of supplies and heavy moving work, it took the villagers most of the day to move all the supplies of the village into the spaceship and settle all the villagers in.

At this moment, the clan leader controlled the Blue Enchantress spaceship to take off and fly into the clouds, higher and higher, gradually flying into the sea of ​​clouds.

Lan Tian stood by the ship's window, gazing down. Gantang Village and the Mensomm Mountains were slowly sinking; Xuri's home was disappearing. People could never return to what they once were, never return to their village. The Mensomm Mountains and Gantang Village were vanishing into the endless sea. A wave of sadness washed over him. The future was uncertain; he didn't know what would happen. A sense of melancholy washed over him.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, the Blue Enchantress spaceship sped towards the eastern sea, heading towards its new ancestral home. No one knew what lay ahead, and everyone was uncertain, hoping for a good outcome.

……

Lan Feng stood behind Lan Tian, ​​silently watching him in a daze. Recalling the moments Lan Tian had brought to their family, her face radiated happiness and joy. Her son was growing up day by day, and she had nothing left to entrust to him. He was intelligent, physically strong, and possessed extraordinary talents; he was perfectly capable of standing on his own. Sigh! A deep sense of helplessness washed over her. She should have made things clear to him.

Lan Feng turned around, went back to his cell, took a bag, and returned to Lan Tian's side.

"Blue Sky, come here, Dad wants to talk to you."

"Dad, um." Lan Tian turned around and saw her father, then sat down next to Lan Feng. She silently watched her father.

Lan Feng spread these things out on the small table on the boat. He looked at Lan Tian with a serious expression, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Haha, my son... the Lan family's darling."

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a little excited." Lan Feng was so excited that he was incoherent. Ten years! In the blink of an eye, Lan Tian is already ten years old and has grown into a young man. Not bad, not bad at all!

"Dad, what's wrong with you today? Are you worried that something bad might happen to us in the future?"

"No, I have nothing to worry about with the clan leader here. I'm really fine."

"Yes, I believe we will have a new development and a new life."

"Yes, Blue Sky, I have high hopes for you!"

"I will work hard and do my best!"

Lan Feng opened the package and hung a blue crystal necklace around Lan Tian's neck. He then placed two rings on Lan Tian's hands, a blue crystal ring on his right hand and a ruby ​​ring on his left. Lan Feng patted Lan Tian's shoulder and draped a battle robe over him from the package.

"That's more like it. What a brave warrior! Our family's hero, Mom and Dad's pride."

Lan Tian was a little stunned; he didn't understand why his father was doing this. He stepped forward and hugged Lan Feng tightly.

"Dad, I will always be our family's hero."

"Okay, okay. Oh, right, take this." Lan Feng handed the short sword from his waist to Lan Tian.

"Keep it safe. This is a divine sword; you must always carry it with you."

"Okay, Dad."

Lan Tian took the short sword; it gleamed silver, felt heavy, and had a menacing blade. A blue crystal was inlaid on the hilt, emanating a wave of energy that sent a shiver down one's spine. Lan Tian carefully sheathed the short sword and fastened it to his waist.

Lan Feng looked at Lan Tian and wanted to tell him about his origins, to let him understand his predicament. However, before he came, his wife had forbade him to speak of it, fearing the loss of their son. Therefore, looking at Lan Tian, ​​he hesitated and ultimately did not tell him the truth.

"Get some rest. We don't even know if we'll arrive by tomorrow," Lan Feng said, leaving Lan Tian's room and going back to her own.

Lan Tian looked at the ring on her hand, touched the pendant on her body, and without thinking much about it, she tidied herself up and went to bed.
