Chapter 127 – Undercurrent
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Everything is good, earth spirits and humans complement each other… The location of this spirit vein seems to be quite a bit of a hassle to get to. Do you need us to bring you back later?”
Beneath the afternoon sun in New York, three bullet-proof cars surrounded a spot in the city while the police cars led the way for an extremely grand convoy that weaved through the busy streets.
The driver of the car in the middle was a diplomat of a state that was in the Xuan Nation Federation. He was Li Wei, the First Secretary. It was rather impressive of him to have become a federal diplomat at such a young age.
No matter how great of a background he had, he must have suffered for a few years in Africa or the Middle East before getting to where he was now.
Although Li Wei had been looking at the front, he would occasionally glance at the rear-view mirror to observe the little golden monkey sitting in the back row.
The golden snub-nosed monkey was almost the size of a human baby and seemed to be only a few years old. It was seated quietly, all curled up. It would only shake its head slightly whenever Li Wei questioned it.
Li Wei kept a straight face, for he had long expected to hear this answer.
During the three spiritual vein ignitions that were assisted by Xuan Nation, all the little animals had evolved because of the merit of the ignited spiritual veins. Apart from Pangolin, the rest disappeared without a trace.
It seems that the pangolin’s encounter alerted other animals, or perhaps, Nine-tailed Fox’s purpose of landing in the mortal world was to give the smaller animals a chance to leave.
Li Wei did not dwell on it for too long because the traffic was rather smooth, thanks to the Federal Government. Hence, they soon reached New York Port.
At this time, all cargo ship cruises in New York Port had been removed, and there was only one warship waiting at the port. Li Wei and the other diplomats were given the green light and thus, wheeled the golden monkey towards the warship. The entire scene looked rather amusing.
However, everyone was serious about it and solemnly wheeled the golden monkey into the Liberty Coastal Combat Ship in a wheelchair, under the surveillance of the federal soldiers.
Numerous citizens were staring at the port excitedly while standing on the sidewalk and holding up signs. Ren Suo could see the words “Heavenly Palace” written on the screen. It seemed that the palace was now known to the world.
Now, the “All-devouring Soul” was about to activate the sixth Spiritual treasure of the world, the Statue of Liberty, on Liberty Island, in New York City!
Li Wei was merely trying to verify the research condition of Xuan Nation when he tested the golden monkey just now.
Even Ren Suo could see the rules of the location of the spiritual treasure, what more the national organization.
After the Fan Ying incident, Nine-tailed Fox relied on “illusion” to disguise itself like a hedgehog, husky, and a palace beast. It then activated two spiritual treasures in Brazil and Australia.
However, the location of the two spiritual treasures had nothing to do with the capital. The Brazilian spiritual treasure was Mount Jesus of Rio de Janeiro, while the Australian spiritual treasure was the Sydney Opera House, a complete opposite of Xuan Nation, United Kingdom, and Fan Ying.
The locations where the spiritual treasures have appeared in, are namely Tianjing, London, Tokyo, Rio, and Sydney. Some of those five places were capitals while others were not, but they shared one common significant feature—they were all local and densely populated!
Therefore Ren Suo himself can conclude that the spiritual treasures will appear in the most densely populated areas, which are the capitals in Xuan Nation, England, and Japan.
The spiritual treasure locations of Brazil and Australia, however, are not. Hence, the location does vary.
Washington was the capital of the Pacific Federation but the most developed and populated city was New York City, which was on the East Coast. Therefore, after the pangolin was notified by Old Zhao, Ren Suo moved Nine-tailed Fox Horse to New York for inspection. The Statue of Liberty was easily discovered.
It was worth mentioning that when the nine-tailed fox arrived at the Statue of Liberty, the federal personnel had also blocked the Statue of Liberty, while many Practitioners and Awakeners were conducting a search and scrutinizing the statue in a bid to find some extraordinary characteristics.
The people were not fools and the locations of the spiritual veins that had been ignited by the Heavenly Palace cannot be hidden at all. Some speculation was all it took for them to find out the locations of the local spiritual veins.
But so what if they could find out? One would still have to send their national treasure to the palace beasts as a form of “ignition fee” in order to ignite the veins in advance.
Although the veins would be activated in a few days, activating it in advance would be of great benefit to the people of the country.
Of course, the most important advantage was that it would be extremely beneficial to the “All-devouring Spirit”.
Although the Pacific Federation was newly founded, it had a large population and hence, they had the most and best spirits. The Declaration of Independence alone had increased the evolutionary allowance by two additional times, for the “All-devouring Soul”. The other antique artworks have also provided ten more counts of evolution!
Moreover, it would take five days for the spiritual treasure to be activated five times, second only to Xuan Nation. It was much stronger than Brazil, Australia, Japan, and the United Kingdom.
After the Federal spiritual treasure is activated, there would only be three or four days left until all the spiritual treasures are automatically activated. By then, the strongest figure of the world would be promoted.
In other words, if Ren Suo wanted to clear the level after activating the spiritual treasure, he would have to try to use “Immortal Inheritance” to change the current “Phantom Charm” to “Combat”, and see if he can surpass the combat power of the strongest figure in the world!
Upon arriving at Liberty Island, Li Wei and others placed the golden monkey near the Statue of Liberty and then, stayed in the control area of Liberty Island while waiting for the completion of the spiritual treasure activation.
Twelve hours later at midnight, the red and blue aurora spread over the Statue of Liberty and a commotion broke out amongst the crowd in New York. The entire coast was illuminated by various fluorescent lights that resembled daylight.
At this time Ren Suo also discovered a minor problem—Nine-tailed Fox had nowhere to hide.
Like other spiritual treasures, the Federal spiritual treasure would enter a 12-hour hibernation period after being activated. At this time, there will be a layer of Qi outside the spiritual treasure, where the “All-devouring Soul” could not stay in. When in Xuan Nation, it would have to slip away once the treasure is activated. That was the same for Nine-Tailed Fox here in New York.
However, the Statue of Liberty was not on the mainland, but on Freedom Island outside New York Harbor. All ships entering New York Harbor can enter the harbor under the watchful eye of the Statue of Liberty, but Liberty Island was tiny and the greatest distance between the two ends was merely less than 500 meters.
Ren Suo initially wanted to fast forward 12 hours directly but he happened to catch sight of a warship in-between Liberty Island and Ellis Island at this very moment.
Huh?
Ren Suo recalled there was already a warship in the port previously and yet, there was now another one.
They’re being too paranoid! Could anyone possibly drive a small boat across the ocean to enter the Upper New York Bay and destroy the ritual?
Ren Suo subconsciously got Nine-tailed Fox to activate “Reiki Vision” to see if the warship was supernatural. However, once the “Reiki Vision” was activated, it became pitch dark suddenly emitted strong rays of light like a star!
On the deck of the warship, there was a strong man, who is so powerful that he can be compared to spirits that had more Reiki!
Nine-tailed Fox concentrated on viewing and saw that the man on the deck seemed to be a middle-aged man with fierce looks and scars on his face that made him look like a serial murderer.
However, no one could compare to him!
Although Ren Suo had no experience of guessing one’s strength through ‘Aura’, he could tell that this person had Extraordinary aura and was probably not inferior to the strongest in the world!
Forget it, if he’s not running the country and coming to Liberty Island instead. However, why is he staying on the warship as though he’s trying to hide?
Ren Suo quickly got Nine-tailed Fox to select a high-rise area, where she could enjoy a bird’s eye view of the island.
Sure enough—
As far as Nine-Tailed Fox could see, there were already three warships surrounding the entire Liberty Island.
“It’s time to save…”
Ren Suo gave it some thought and shrunk Nine-tailed Fox, allowing it to dig a pit in the darkness…
