Evelyn, however, couldn't sleep. She was excitedly discussing the legend of Atlantis with Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying. She was extremely fascinated by the history of ancient Egypt, and Atlantis was very likely the source of ancient Egyptian civilization. Moreover, she would soon be able to explore this origin of ancient Egyptian civilization. How could she possibly be in the mood to sleep?
"Isn't Teacher Evelyn afraid of encountering the Atlantean mummy again?" Jiang Liu couldn't help but tease her, seeing her so enthusiastic.
"I've already encountered two mummies. One was Imhotep, who has now turned into a human and is working with the Medgar warriors to research how to rebuild the land of Selkhater into an oasis. The other was the Scorpion King, who is already dead and cannot be resurrected. What's there to be afraid of?"
Evelyn held up two fingers, looking relaxed. "Besides, with you 'magicians' around, even the most evil mummy can be defeated."
"That's not necessarily true."
Jiang Liu looked towards the area where the "pupil" was located. His restrained divine light shone outward, reflecting the stars in the sky. In a place invisible to ordinary people, he "saw" thousands of invisible winds outlining patterns, forming a shape that resembled both a fish and a dragon. It was slowly swimming and turning, like a living creature, but it could only move within the range of the pupil and could not roam the entire area of the energy field.
Like the Kunpeng Qi Bureau and the Serket Qi Bureau, the Qi Bureau of this place is connected to the Qi Bureau of Heaven and Earth. It will not impact or shake the Qi Bureau of the human body. However, judging from its size, it is so vast and it also involves the ancient civilization of Atlantis. Before truly stepping into that realm, it is impossible to determine what kind of powerful or even strange existence has been nurtured within it.
This desert eye stretches for 340 kilometers, which, when combined with other features, can be considered a thousand-mile stretch.
With such a vast territory, if it were like the Ghost Realm of Lanruo, Jiang Liu couldn't even imagine what level of development it had reached!
True!
Having cultivated himself to this day, Jiang Liu has summarized all the methods he has practiced in the past and created a wonderful formula, which is the four words "manifest", "secret", "perfect" and "penetrating". He also has the great supernatural power of imitating heaven and earth, so Jiang Liu is not afraid of the dangers.
But better safe than sorry.
There are people outside people, and there are days outside the sky.
Jiang Liu understood this principle perfectly well, and he would not become arrogant or conceited just because he had mastered a great supernatural power that could only last for thirty seconds.
Jiang Liu's words surprised Lu Jin. He could distinguish between confidence and arrogance. In the past, his good older brother had always been quite confident in the face of any danger. But now, Jiang's tone revealed a hint of uncertainty.
He must have seen something that even he found difficult to solve!
[Afterwards, we must keep an eye on the others to prevent them from carelessly touching things and triggering some mechanisms, or releasing some terrifying creatures that exist within the aura...]
Lu Jin made up his mind that once they actually entered Atlantis, if anyone dared to disobey orders and act on their own, putting them in a life-or-death situation, they should not blame him for being ruthless.
Silent all night.
As dawn broke in the east and the morning light shone, the group had finished breakfast and were cleaning up their trash, preparing to head further west towards the "eye" of the desert.
After walking for nearly forty kilometers, Jiang Liu finally arrived at the "pupil". Even standing on the cliff that protrudes from the ground nearly a hundred meters high, the outline of the "pupil" could not be seen with the naked eye. All that could be seen was a barren desert.
But Jiang Liu was certain that the endless desert, sea of sand, and seemingly flat but actually textured rock layers ahead were the location of the Eye of the Desert, and also the main ruins of Atlantis!
"I didn't expect you to be the first team to arrive here!"
# Chapter 746 The Key to Atlantis
The river flows back.
An SUV sped toward them, then braked sharply to the side in front of them, kicking up a cloud of yellow smoke that caused many in the group to cough.
"I didn't expect you to be the first team to arrive here."
The car door opened, revealing a figure.
It is a robin.
And Ansuna.
Afterwards, several off-road vehicles arrived, and the remaining wealthy individuals who were willing to explore the place themselves, along with dozens of fully armed combat personnel, got out.
"With so few people, it's not enough to explore such a large area."
Jiang Liu said calmly.
"Don't worry."
The robin decided to reveal more information: "Atlantis isn't buried underground and doesn't need to be dug up here. It exists in another dimension. Once you find the right key, you can open the passage to enter it."
"Dimension?"
Zu Bo felt a hint of doubt.
If it involves space, then it's related to her abilities, and she should be able to sense the fluctuations in space... but right now she feels nothing at all.
"The concept of dimension is generally considered to be three-dimensional: point, plane, and volume. However, in 1915, Einstein added the dimension of time, constructing a four-dimensional spacetime model, that is, time and space are integrated and inseparable, and time alone is meaningless."
Robin proposed Einstein's four-dimensional spacetime theory: "Although humans are very small, they have already been able to perceive the essence of the universe - four-dimensional spacetime."
Planets, or the world we live in, are like three-dimensional spaces suspended in a four-dimensional universe.
Within this four-dimensional spacetime model, space can be folded, compressed, deformed, and even overlapped!
At this moment, the robin became more and more excited as he spoke, gazing at the empty desert and raising his arms high, "Atlantis did not sink in the Atlantic Ocean, nor was it destroyed by a flood, but exists in another space, in a dimension that overlaps with the real space!"
Then, he looked at Zubo and said quietly, "Although you have a very rare spatial teleportation ability, it is a pipe dream to try to use it to sense Atlantis."
Even an ordinary person would lock their door when going out to buy groceries, which is a crude way of separating the space inside the house from the space outside. How much more so for Atlantis?
How could an ancient civilization with such advanced alchemy technology not understand the principle of 'locking doors'?
Without the 'key' and without knowing the 'password', even if you have the ability to teleport, it's useless!
Even a thief with poor skills, unable to pick someone's lock, can at least watch from the outside. But we couldn't even see the house until we found the key!
Do not!
There was a "thief" at the scene who could see the "house"—
River flow.
There are four methods: understanding all things helps him sense the principles of Qi, avoiding death and prolonging life makes him understand the way of illusion and reality, shifting stars and changing constellations teaches him the way of change, and manipulating heaven and earth allows him to travel through time and space.
There are five mudras: the meditation mudra, which allows one to enter into meditation and control the timing; the teaching mudra, which clarifies the past and knows the future; the fearlessness mudra, which allows one to be fearless and assertive; the demon-subduing mudra, which clarifies the mind and nature and subdues inner demons; and the wish-granting mudra, which opens the heart, clarifies the reason, and fulfills the wishes.
The four methods and five seals combine to form nine, transforming into Dharma images and talismans. By emulating heaven and earth with one's body and expressing sincerity with one's heart, one can observe all things in the world. Furthermore, by combining the profound and wondrous secrets of exoteric and esoteric teachings with the effects of deities bestowed by innate extraordinary abilities, one can systematically classify, categorize, and summarize the spatial fluctuations of this place.
Especially for those with aura-based abilities, one can observe the flow of their patterns and construct them in the form of talismans to further improve one's own skills.
Therefore, while ordinary people perceive this place as empty, he can observe something resembling a fish or a dragon swimming around here. Given more time to sense the fluctuations in the flow of energy here, and to fully control the corresponding talisman, it would not be a problem for him to actively lead people into it.
When it comes to capabilities involving dimensional space, the so-called "keys" and "passwords" are nothing more than the fluctuation frequency of a specific spatial dimension.
However, being able to enter is one thing; whether one will be judged as an intruder by the mechanisms inside due to their incorrect identity is another matter entirely.
Although the fish-dragon talisman given by Murdoch reacts to Qi, according to Jiang Liu's examination, it is similar to the talismans, tokens, and waist tags carried by the ancient people of Shenzhou, as well as the unified ID card for all people in Shenzhou in the future. It is a kind of identity certificate.
Without this fish-dragon seal, entering Atlantis would most likely result in being treated as an "illegal resident".
"So, did you find the key?" Jiang Liu asked.
"No."
The robin shook his head, then smiled, his gaze falling on "Jesse," a sly look appearing on his face. "But the key is among us! You agree, don't you, Siobhan McDougall?"
The group immediately distanced themselves from "Jesse"—Jesse was actually an alias, and his real name was McDougall!
"I've heard of this family. They live on a small island between England and Scotland. They are a single-lineage family, born with white hair. When they truly use their abilities, their white hair turns silver... But what's most surprising is that people in this lineage live extremely long lives, up to two hundred years old."
Although Jax has a quirky personality, he is also a know-it-all and knows a lot of secrets. "Besides, I also know a secret that no one else knows."
That is, members of this family will age at an extremely rapid pace in the last ten years of their lives.
Assuming a McDougal person lives to be exactly two hundred years old, they will maintain the youthful vitality of a young girl for the first one hundred and ninety years, while the last ten years of their life will see them rapidly change from an eighteen-year-old girl to an eighty-year-old woman.
It's truly an incredible thing.
I even suspect that this is why the family lives on that remote island.
"You know quite a lot."
Siobhan glanced at Jax, his tone slightly cold.
"It's not that I know more, but that the Jade Society knows more."
Jax chuckled and kicked him, revealing that he and Ango had infiltrated the Emerald Society's library during a mission. Although there wasn't a single book in that library related to magic or alchemy, it contained many family secrets, during which they learned a great deal about the secrets of major alchemical and wizarding families in Europe and Africa.
As a result, they were put on the Jade Society's wanted list, and they would no longer loiter near the Jade Society's headquarters or branches unless absolutely necessary.
"Jade Society—"
Speaking of this faction, Siwon sneered, "They're just bandits. Since their establishment, they've been constantly collecting alchemy, magic, and even ancient alchemical artifacts from various families, claiming it's to protect the ancient alchemical heritage and maintain stability."
But in reality, it's about eliminating dissidents.
The 'prison' they've learned to run has imprisoned countless individuals who study dark magic!
Given the crimes they committed, even if they weren't executed, their methods should have been crippled. Instead, they were merely imprisoned, and aside from their lack of freedom, their lives were hardly worse than those of the nobility!
# Chapter 747 Gonggong?
"Let's leave aside for now how the Jade Society fares."
The robin stared at Siwon. "Now that you've admitted your identity, then hand over the three stone tablets you stole from the Emerald Society!"
original.
Robin was still suspicious that "Jesse" was actually Siobhan McDougall—the Jade Society would not let the theft of the stone tablet go unpunished, and it was not surprising that they recruited mercenaries to infiltrate the organization, but then the biplane carrying the white-haired "Jesse" crashed.
Among the four teams—Britain, Russia, the USA, and Germany—Britain and the USA each have one player with white hair, but Jesse is on the same plane as the German team.
no doubt.
There is a greater than 90% chance that Jesse is Siobhan.
The McDougall family is incredibly proud, and even when they disguise themselves, they will never change their naturally white hair, which is considered a hallmark of their superiority.
"Aren't we waiting for the other teams?" Jiang Liu interjected.
"The team is named after France, England, Russia, the United States, and Germany. You are the smartest Easterner I have ever met. Do you know why?" the robin asked with a sneer.
The G economy may have the idea of unifying the world, but who will ultimately take the lead?
The chairmanship rotates, maybe next year it'll be my turn?
Or is it a one-party dictatorship?
to this end.
Robins are willing to take risks!
