Chapter 556: Chapter 354: Clue to Yin Yi’s A Talent (2)

"Lin Ke... If you leave now, will you be safe?"

It wasn’t Han Ning who spoke, but Irena.

She frowned. "Everyone knows you’ve been with us this entire time. If we leave, the Deep Sea Race will definitely cause trouble for you. Your life... will become very difficult. Why don’t you just come with us? We can go to the Thunder Continent and lay low for a few years. You can come back after this whole mess with the Deep Sea Race has died down, or after we’ve become stronger."

"I..." Lin Ke was a smart girl. Hearing Irena’s words, she realized it would be incredibly dangerous to go back alone. Not only would her own safety not be guaranteed, but she could also bring trouble upon her family.

Seeing the hesitation on Lin Ke’s face, Irena reassured her:

"The Azure Dragon Family is ranked fourth among the Deep Sea Race, not much weaker than families like the Blood Shark or Red Manta. You don’t have to worry about your family’s safety."

At this, Han Ning chimed in. "That’s right, Miss Lin Ke. Just come with us. Your Canghai Family was originally one of the Land Races; the land is your true home. It would be great for you to come venture out into the world with us."

The moment Han Ning spoke, the hesitant Lin Ke immediately nodded, having made her decision. "Okay! I’ll go find Bobo Man now and ask him to help me contact my family. I need to let them know I’m safe!"

"Go on."

Taking advantage of the moment, Han Ning, as arranged by Academician Zhou, released the Water Ape Race—103 Water Apes of all sizes—from the Heaven-Reaching Tower, transferring them into the river-and-forest region of the Five Elements Secret Realm.

"Huai Kong, this will serve as your temporary habitat. But please, do not wantonly harm the weaker Soul Beasts in the surroundings, nor should you harm any other creatures that pass by. If anything special happens, contact me through this little silkworm, and I’ll help you resolve the issue."

Han Ning handed the small puppet silkworm, created by the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm, to Huai Kong.

"As for food, someone will deliver it to you regularly every day. Trust me, this arrangement won’t last long. In a year and a half at most, I will find you a new and expansive home."

"OOH-AH~"

Huai Kong surveyed the lush forest with its clear, gurgling river, relatively satisfied with this temporary home. The only drawback was its size; for them, it was like an entire family living in a beautifully furnished 20-square-meter studio apartment.

All in all, it was a definite improvement over the dark, cramped ship cabin from before.

Huai Kong took the puppet silkworm and nodded.

Having temporarily settled the matter of housing Huai Kong and his clan, Han Ning rushed back to the valley without a moment’s rest to help everyone move supplies into Grey’s Yunlan Space.

The transfer was significantly more efficient this time around.

Buildings of all sizes had been constructed in advance on Grey’s back and inside its Yunlan Space. Even everyone’s living quarters had been assigned, all in preparation to leave at a moment’s notice.

In fact, some of the most important supplies had already been placed inside Grey by the more forward-thinking teachers.

Everyone basically just had to pack their personal belongings and help the researchers move important equipment and production lines.

In just over two hours, the once-scenic valley looked as if it had been scoured by a razor. Aside from the neatly arranged buildings left behind, the outlying fields, the vehicles on the streets, and all the goods had completely vanished.

A short while later, a colossal, graceful Yunlan Whale silently swept out from the valley beyond Caiyu City, arriving at the rendezvous point arranged with Bobo Man.

Bobo Man arrived even more slowly. After a wait of about half an hour, over a dozen enormous, bluish-black sea turtles, each with an octopus sigil etched onto its back, cruised up to the Gray Demon Whale like submarines.

This was the first time Han Ning had seen the assembled members of the Bobo Family.

Standing on the deck on Grey’s back, he looked down to see a total of sixteen sea turtles, each about 500 meters long, arranged in a three-dimensional rhomboid formation.

On each turtle’s back was a single black structure shaped like a conch shell. Roughly a hundred octopuses with pale blue skin bustled about, moving between the conch-like buildings.

Seeing the racial information for the group of turtles below, Han Ning marveled for what felt like the hundredth time at the sheer wealth and power of the Bobo Family.

Based on stats alone, these Vast Sea Profound Turtles were leagues above their Grey.

"Han Ning, you guys are fast!"

Bobo Man’s figure appeared above the first Vast Sea Profound Turtle. Despite the one or two-kilometer distance between them, the Spiritual Message came through with perfect clarity.

"Bring your whale into the middle of the formation. The Vast Sea Profound Turtles will create stable Gravity channels to link each other together. Once you’re inside, you can use these channels to move freely between the turtles without consuming your Gray Demon Whale’s Spiritual Energy. Plus, the formation will keep you safe."

Bobo Man floated up, and a pure, bright light shone from one of his tentacles, shooting toward the center of the diamond formation.

"Mr. Leon, follow Bobo Man’s instructions."

Han Ning transmitted the Spiritual Message to Leon in the command room.

"Roger!"

The command was given, and Grey immediately changed direction, merging into the turtle formation.

The moment it entered the formation, the six turtles positioned in front, behind, to the left, to the right, above, and below it immediately shot beams of dull yellow light from the edges of their shells, linking them to Grey.

Han Ning stood before one of the hazy yellow beams of light, faintly feeling a suction-like pull from it.

He leaped forward.

WHOOSH~

The Gravity inside the yellow channel shifted constantly, pulling him along and rapidly transporting him to the back of the Vast Sea Profound Turtle in front.

"So? Pretty convenient, isn’t it?" Bobo Man hopped down from the structure above, grinning at Han Ning.

"Incredible... Is this also a Spiritual Array?"

"Mhm, it’s a combination of Soul Artifacts and a Spiritual Array. It’s extremely complex. You’d need a Spiritual Strength of Spiritual Tier Seven or higher to construct a complete system like this."

Bobo Man lifted his head, his expression full of pride.

"These sixteen Vast Sea Profound Turtles are the ultimate strategic treasure of my Bobo Family. As long as I control them, I can go anywhere in the Purple Crystal World!"

"Come, come, come, let’s go inside. I’ll give you a proper tour."

Bobo Man draped one tentacle over Han Ning’s shoulder and twitched another, signaling the turtle formation to activate!

VMMMM!!

In that instant, the sixteen Vast Sea Profound Turtles let out a unified, deep bellow.

The diamond formation of turtles, moving as a single entity, emitted an Aqua Blue glow and vanished from the skies outside Caiyu City.

At the same time, Han Ning followed Bobo Man into the conch-shell building.

As soon as he entered, the space expanded infinitely.

What met his eyes was just like returning to Caiyu City.

His vision filled with a liquid that resembled seawater, through which buildings of all sizes came into view.

A single conch-shell building actually contained a city as large as Caiyu City!

Sixteen Vast Sea Profound Turtles together meant sixteen giant cities!

Bobo Man said proudly:

"What do you think? Incredible, isn’t it? My Bobo Family clansmen live here, along with some of our vassal families. Only the most honored guests are permitted to enter and tour the inner city of a Vast Sea Profound Turtle."

’No wonder it takes a Tier Seven Beast Master to handle such a massive Array. The workload is just immense...’

Han Ning gazed at the landscape of sprawling mountains and rivers, where Water Type Soul Beasts swam about happily, and couldn’t help but murmur to himself.

"I brought you over for two reasons. First, to give you a tour of the place. Second... weren’t you asking me earlier where that ’Sea of Death Stars’ is? I don’t know the exact location, but my father left behind a Star Map of the Subspace. It’s stored in the palace here in the city. I can take you to see it now."
