A World Worth Protecting

Chapter 997: Chapter 997 sealed remains!

The visit didn’t last long. In the end, Wang Baole left the senator’s residence under the senator’s personal escort. It was late at night outside. He looked at the bright moon in the sky and felt the gentle breeze blowing in his face, wang Baole walked on the streets with a complicated expression on his face.

He wasn’t the only person on the streets. He could occasionally see a few passersby walking past him. However, none of the passersby seemed to be able to see Wang Baole in their eyes. This made his presence very abrupt and at the same time.., it was similar to how he felt, and there was a hint of sadness in his heart.

He thought of Zhao Yameng and Zhou Xiaoya.

He had learned from the head senator that Li Wan ‘Er had gone missing. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, she had not participated in the Dark Swallow Project. This incident made Li Wan ‘er feel guilty and unwilling, therefore… She, who had access to some of the Federation’s secrets, went to some of the ruins on Earth.

In the end, she disappeared without a trace.

After knowing all this, Wang Baole recalled everything that had happened at the fallen star. His guess had been confirmed. The image of the masked woman in his mind had completely overlapped with the familiar body of Li Wan ‘Er.

Why didn’t she tell me? was there something she was hiding, or was she unwilling to tell me? Wang Baole shook his head, he suppressed the thoughts in his heart. He felt that no matter what, they would meet again in the starry skies in the future. In order to reassure the council member, Wang Baole had thought about it and told him about Li Wan ‘er.

At the same time, from the council member, Wang Baole learned that Kong Dao wasn’t the only one who hadn’t returned to the Dark Swallow Plan. Li Wuchen hadn’t returned either.

However, just like Kong Dao, the flame of life hadn’t been extinguished. Based on a simple estimation, there shouldn’t have been too many life-and-death accidents. Wang Baole was a little emotional, but he understood that ever since he had embarked on this path of cultivation.., he could only wish each of them well.

As for the ruins… Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. This was a hidden danger after all. The relationship between the Moon Star sect and earth was uncertain. However, regardless, the other party had immense power. Compared to the current federation.., they were extremely weak. As a result, there was a strong imbalance between the two parties.

This imbalance meant that the federation had no right to take the initiative.

If that’s the case… It’s better to seal those ruins! Wang baole’s eyes shone brightly. He slowly closed his eyes and spread out his divine sense, covering the entire earth and searching for all the ruins.

As his divine sense spread out, everything on Earth instantly became clear in his mind. He saw the lights of tens of thousands of homes. They were the joys and sorrows of countless living beings in the cities.

The appearance of all living beings in an instant represented a different life. Wang Baole was deeply affected by it, causing ripples to form in his heart. Then, he saw the endless wilderness. It had once been the gathering place of ferocious beasts, now, he couldn’t see many ferocious beasts anymore.

Even some of them had slowly changed their habits and become harmless after being suppressed for so many years. That was the only way they could survive.

Other than that, Wang Baole also saw the vast ocean and the mysterious bottom of the ocean. As the ocean stretched as far as the eye could see, the gigantic sea beasts at the bottom of the ocean trembled as Wang Baole scanned them with his divine sense.

“There are no more secrets,”Wang Baole muttered. He saw the spirit Qi that was slowly growing throughout the entire earth.

The Spirit Qi was weak, but it continued to spread. Since the spirit inception era, the Spirit Qi on Earth no longer came from the fragments of the ancient green-bronze sword. Instead, it was slowly condensing itself under the constant changes in the environment.

It could be imagined that even without external help, the environment on Earth would become richer in spirit qi after tens of thousands of years.

Looking at all this, nine regions finally appeared in Wang Baole’s mind!

They were nine ruins!

The nine ruins were scattered across the earth. The distance between them seemed to be irregular, but Wang baole could vaguely sense the traces of the array formation restriction.

There were three locations in particular… Wang Baole didn’t see any records in the Federation’s Secret Manual. This meant that the federation hadn’t noticed the three ruins before!

They were located deep beneath the sea.

At the same time, with Wang Baole’s current cultivation, he couldn’t see any special fluctuations in the nine ruins. Everything seemed to be no different from the ruins.

However, there had been too many cases of intruders going missing since the spirit inception era despite the fact that there was nothing unusual about the ruins.

Is the Moon Star sect… an enemy or a friend? Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and took a step forward, disappearing from the streets. When he reappeared, he was already outside the first ruins!

The ruins were buried deep underground. There was a mountain range on top of it, where ferocious beasts used to gather. When Wang Baole appeared, all he could see was desolation. The mountain peaks were green in color, however, it was difficult to hide the thick aura of death that permeated the area.

It was clear that a long time ago, there had been a battle between ferocious beasts and cultivators. The entrance to the ruins was a mountain stream. Even though more than half of it had collapsed, one could still pass through it. Furthermore, it was located around the entrance, there was also the power of the array formation. With just a glance, Wang Baole could immediately tell that the array formation came from Ethereal Dao College. There was a unique, faintly discernible fog that was unique to ethereal dao college.

Was it sealed by the grand supreme elder back then… Wang Baole’s body swayed. He ignored the array formation and stepped into the mountain stream. He sped all the way until he reached the interior of the ruins. The place was already empty. There was only the ground at the end, there were obvious traces of the ancient array formation that had been destroyed.

The array formation seemed to have existed for a long time. There were even signs of weathering on the ground. With Wang Baole’s cultivation, he could tell at a glance that the array formation was used for teleportation. The area affected was large enough to cover the entire ruins, it looked like it had been destroyed, but it was still powerful. The only difference was that the area affected had been reduced.

Wang Baole stared at the array formation and memorized its structure. A glint flashed in his eyes. The nine ancient stars behind him materialized into Dao Stars. At the same time, he raised his right hand and pressed down lightly on the array formation.

With that, the ground began to tremble. The array formation trembled as well, and cracks appeared on its surface. The number of cracks increased. Finally, with a loud boom, the entire array formation seemed to have been torn apart by an invisible hand, it split into four parts.

Large amounts of spirit qi, visible to the naked eye, rose from the cracks and spread in all directions with a loud boom. Eventually, they covered the entire area and merged with the heavens and earth.

Only then did the power of the array formation be completely dispelled!

After checking the area again and making sure that he hadn’t missed anything, Wang Baole turned around and left. He went to the second, third, and sixth ruins!

The five ruins behind him were distributed in different regions of the Earth. Some were in rivers, some were deep underground, and some were in a primitive rainforest. They all looked different, and they all existed in rivers, it was a stone bull that didn’t look big, but it actually contained supernatural powers and spells. It was as majestic as a small world.

Deep Underground, there was an underground city. In the primitive rainforest, there was an altar that worshipped unknown gods.

These ruins were all recorded in the Federation’s records without exception, so there were signs of being sealed. However, to Wang Baole, these seals were not perfect. As he walked past, he tore apart the array formations in the five ruins, all of them.

However, what made him feel regretful was that although the five ruins looked mysterious, he did not see any clues inside. It was as if everything had collapsed the moment the ruins were opened.

Finally, Wang Baole turned his gaze to the depths of the sea. The three ruins that had not been recorded by the federation, or even detected by humans, were located!

They were… a humongous rotting whale that was tens of thousands of feet tall. Half of its body was buried in the mud at the bottom of the sea. The exposed parts of its body were filled with an aura of death that affected the surrounding sea, turning the place pitch-black.

The other was a temple that was covered in seaweed. It seemed to have been damaged by the mighty force of the changes in the world!

In front of the temple, there was a statue of a cultivator. Its face was blurry, but the stone sword on its back still exuded a sharp aura. It caused all the sea creatures that had approached it over the years to pile up into rings of rotting bones.

Finally, there was a mountain!

There was a stone door at the bottom of the mountain. There were runes engraved on the door. These runes contained a strange power that could make all cultivators who saw it instantly think of the meaning of the runes.

The meaning of the runes was..

Sea suppression!
