After the storm, every thing was quiet. The fleet that had already drifted to the facet was resting, and the crew members had been even falling asleep on the deck. Final evening’s expertise significantly surpassed any battle with the human navy or pirates. Xue Linglan walked previous these sleeping crew members, proudly his comrades. After this battle, she started to consider that she might do one thing on this sea. There was a bunch of individuals value entrusting her with, and this made her, who had been operating away after the usurpation of energy by Wan Zhenghao, considerably at peace.
As Xue Linglan walked down the deck, Yue Xinchuan hoped to convene a gathering to elucidate the present scenario. As she entered the cabin, she noticed that a number of folks had been already ready there.
Yue Xinchuan had already become clear and contemporary garments. He appeared to love the colour cyan, particularly the inexperienced beans, and he typically wore a blue Biden on his neck. When he was not speaking, he seemed very mild. Seeing Xue Linglan stroll in, he opened an outdated sea chart and known as her over. Below the flickering candlelight, Xue Linglan might simply barely make out the phrases written on it. The whole chart exuded a moist aura. A few of the edges had been already extraordinarily dilapidated.
“This chart seems to be a bit outdated.” Xue Linglan touched the map and sniffed it, a transparent musk wafting by way of the air. “It has been a very long time since anybody has used such a calligraphy. The final time the Feathered Man used them was over 200 years in the past.”
“That is one thing our Yue Clan inherited.” The nook of Yue Xinchuan’s mouth curled up as a hint of a proud smile appeared on his face. “However you truly acknowledged it? It’s kind of surprising.”
“I’ve learn some books on this earlier than. I do know a bit concerning the historical past of the Yu Clan’s language evolution.” Xue Linglan was already used to Yue Xinchuan’s delight, so he did not thoughts. After he completed talking, he began to brew a cup of tea. The white tea leaves swirled and sank into the underside of the cup. Like snowflakes falling from the sky, a wealthy tea perfume immediately crammed the air. She handed the teacup to him, who accepted it with each arms and nodded to the princess.
After taking a sip of tea, his coronary heart warmed.
The Princess’s second cup of tea was supplied to Yue Xinchuan, however Yue Xinchuan declined.
Yue Xinchuan pointed to the map and stated, “Now shouldn’t be the time to drink tea. The rationale why we have gathered right here is to debate our present scenario.”
“So, inform me first, what number of casualties did our crew undergo?” Xue Linglan checked out Yue Xinchuan, a hint of unease flashing by way of his eyes.
“In comparison with the injury executed to the ship, the naval casualties are nonetheless acceptable. In spite of everything, it is lucky that everybody continues to be alive and is holding onto their teacups.” Yue Xinchuan seemed on the silent Yulan province, his tone carrying a hint of ridicule.
“If the ship is damaged, we will restore it once more. The troopers of the Xue Clan cannot be reborn.” Upon seeing Yue Xinchuan’s perspective, Xue Linglan was barely sad. She pursed her lips, like a cussed however fragile white Thorn Flower.
“However how many individuals are you able to save within the sea?” Yue Xinchuan leaned again in his chair and sighed softly.
“Let’s discuss concerning the boat.” Yu Mu Province interrupted their dialog and stated emotionlessly, “Yue Xinchuan is correct. Solely fifty-seven crew members died this time. It is certainly uncommon to see such a low variety of casualties.”
After following him for twenty years, Vice Commander Tianqing Bai nodded and added, “The perimeters of our primary ship are damaged. Three of the medium-sized masts are damaged, and one other ten or so are additionally broken to various levels. As a result of the dragon bone was injured, the restore work on the ship was very sophisticated. What’s worse, there was not sufficient wooden. “
“Is there an island close by?” Xue Linglan frowned and pointed on the sea map, “The fleet has deviated from their earlier route, it looks as if it is going to be troublesome for us to find our place now.”
Yue Xinchuan smiled confidently and pointed to a location southeast of the chart. “Primarily based on the pace of the ship and the course of the present, we ought to be right here by now.”
“Deliver me a normal goal chart.” Xue Linglan was puzzled. “Why do I do not forget that the ocean map shouldn’t be like this?”
“No want, I’ve one right here.” Yue Xinchuan stopped his attendants and took out a small, scroll-shaped barrel from his waist. He then took out a neatly rolled chart from inside and laid it flat on the desk.
“This chart was introduced from Autumn Leaf by ourselves. It was drawn by the navigators of the continent in accordance with their very own expertise and measurements.” “Sadly, they are not utterly correct. Some seas are inaccessible to the fleet because of pure causes, such because the ‘Swirling Sea’ we encountered earlier than. This sea map is not marked.”
Xue Linglan paid consideration to the map that the Yue Xinchuan clan had handed down. There was certainly a whirlpool image on the map, and even the principle turbulent seas and the big reefs there have been clearly marked out.
“I can not consider it. I did not count on that the ancestors of your Yue household would have such a wealthy expertise in navigation.” Xue Linglan exclaimed, “With this sea map, we will depend on ourselves.”
“It may well’t be too early to rejoice. There’s an issue with this map as properly.” Yue Xinchuan pointed to Ran Mountain on the Yue Household chart. “Our ultimate vacation spot is right here, towards the final foothold on the ocean and the vital space of the navy, however for some purpose, there is no such thing as a corresponding mark on our household chart.”
Xue Linglan’s gaze adopted the course pointed by Yue Xinchuan. Certain sufficient, there was no signal in any respect on the map. That place was a boundless sea.
“I do not know why there weren’t any marks. A number of hundred years in the past, even the Whirlpool Sea wasn’t capable of cease our ancestors, however Ran Mountain is a big island by the ocean and did not depart any marks. Irrespective of how I give it some thought, I can not determine it out.”
“Ruan Mountain cannot presumably have been forgotten by the individuals who drew the ocean map.” Xue Linglan frowned, just a few scenes flashed by way of his thoughts. He took the Yue Clan’s sea map and checked out it carefully, saying with some hesitation, “It might have been hidden?”
“Disguise?”
“Once I was younger, my brother Xue Zhengyuan and I had been despatched to reside with my great-grandfather for a short while. We heard every kind of tales about our great-grandfather Xue Xiao Chao, and one among them was concerning the ‘Dragon’s Roar’.”
“Dragon’s Roar? What’s a dragon’s roar? ” Yue Xinchuan checked out Yu Mu Province and realized that this admiral of the Hai Clan, who had lived within the army all his life, didn’t perceive all of this. Everybody current was curiously ready for Xue Linglan to elucidate additional.
“In a few of the historic scrolls of the key arts of the Feathered Race, my great-grandfather discovered some mysterious symbols. These symbols typically comprise a variety of data, and after my great-grandfather understood the secrets and techniques inside, he known as them the ‘Dragon’s Roar’. All his life, he had firmly believed that the legendary dragon race really existed, and believed that these had been the dragon race’s phrases. ” Xue Linglan pointed at some traces and symbols on the facet of the map and stated, “The symbols he described in his notes are similar to the symbols and symbols depicted on this map. If these symbols and characters actually are the ‘Dragon’s Roar’, then maybe there may be some secret hidden inside?”
“Are you aware the that means of those symbols?”
“Solely my great-grandfather might perceive the Dragon’s Roar. This is without doubt one of the the explanation why he was capable of set up the 9 Areas Empire because the Everlasting Wing King. If the Xue Household has this means for generations, how might the white wolves of Central State steal it!” A glance of deep sorrow flashed throughout Xue Linglan’s face. “If this actually is the legendary Dragon Roar, then maybe there is a purpose why the Ran Mountains did not seem on the ocean map.”
“Ran Mountain was an vital naval base for the Feathered Race 200 years in the past. Aside from being straightforward to defend and troublesome to assault, there’s nothing particular about it. What want is there for it to be hidden?” Yu Mu warned.
“No, there’s a particular that means to the mountain.” Xue Linglan shook his head barely and didn’t say the rest. Ran Mountain was their vacation spot not solely due to the Xue Clan’s final naval garrison, but in addition as a result of their great-grandfather, Xue Xiaoshan, and his good good friend, the “Hidden Saint” Bi Wenxuan, had stayed there for a few years. The truth is, the starflow rudder doesn’t merely speed up in accordance with the course of the planet, it turns to the thriller of the connection between the planet and Ran Mountain, and there should be a secret in it.
“To know these symbols …” Xue Linglan’s gaze was attracted by the complicated and complicated patterns surrounding the ocean diagram. The straightforward and unadorned decorations had been like twisted sophisticated leaves and leaves that densely intertwined collectively, giving off a disorderly and delightful feeling.
Subconsciously, Xue Linglan touched the ornaments along with her hand. Her fingers fell on the black ink, and a refreshing feeling unfold from her fingertips to her entire physique. Touching these tiny protrusions, the friction between her fingerprints and the patterns gave her an phantasm of virtually pleasure, an phantasm of immersion in one thing unknown.
Instantly, she felt a ache in her fingertips, as if she had been stabbed. She shortly pulled her hand again and noticed the darkish purple blood flowing from the tip of her finger. Yu Yuan instantly stood up and pulled out his sword, pointing it at Yue Xinchuan.
“It is none of his enterprise, I used to be careless.” Xue Linglan stopped Yu Mu and made him put away his sword. “There’s one thing mistaken with this sea chart. It simply bit me …”
Earlier than Xue Linglan might end his phrases, he all of the sudden felt dizzy and fell to the bottom uncontrollably. She felt as if she had no power left in her physique. Her eyes had been closed tightly, and she or he heard him calling for the princess, however she didn’t reply.
What resounded in Xue Linglan’s thoughts at this second was a whistling sound that would shatter the heavens.
It surged upwards from the deepest a part of its thoughts, crossing the ocean of feelings. Because it breathed out and in, this huge roar exploded like thunder, bringing with it a berserk aura because it rose up from the ocean floor. It was the traditional voice, an incredible sound that no musical instrument or creature might imitate.
What brought about Xue Linglan to lose consciousness was this deep and profound voice. Her blood had are available in contact with these sophisticated engravings, and within the subsequent second, these engravings had been like raging waves crashing into her thoughts. The inflow of data made her quickly faint, and for a quick second she appeared to see the world.
It was truly written phrases!
The reminiscences sealed inside Xue Linglan’s bloodline burst like a mountain. These sophisticated and incomprehensible symbols remodeled into recognizable phrases that flowed like a river as they streaked throughout in entrance of Xue Linglan’s eyes. She did not know why she might perceive these phrases, however one thing had invaded her consciousness, as if one thing was calling out to her.
“Mountains and rivers are shattered. Stars are falling down, collapsing on high of their homeland, reversing every thing exterior. So I supplied up the seed of the celebrities to search out the correct path. “
The loud voice was nonetheless removed from over. Along with the sentence above, there was nonetheless numerous data filling Xue Linglan’s thoughts. Her head ached a lot that it felt prefer it was about to blow up.
“The seed of the celebrities …” After a very long time, Xue Linglan lastly opened his eyes and recovered from the heavy exhalations of the sky. Yu Mu Province was her with concern. His sudden fall had scared him fairly a bit.
“Go…” “Go and fetch the Star Seal Stone …” The drowsy Xue Linglan struggled to reply, “I appear to have a option to decipher this map.”
Yu Mu Province led Xue Lun Lan again to their seats, and never lengthy after, a servant fastidiously introduced out a small star stone. This was an ore created by the heavens and the earth, and it was excavated and utilized by the Feathered Man. It contained the pure energy of the imprint pool, and though it was solely the scale of a thumb, the operation of the Star Arm depended totally on its energy.
The star stone was even purer than the ocean. It was like a fantastically carved emerald blue gem emitting a soul-stirring mild. The whole starstone felt prefer it was coated with a layer of water, however in actuality, it was not water, however relatively a sort of crystal secreted by the starstone itself. It appeared to be its personal protecting membrane, making it appear even brighter and extra clear. Xue Linglan calmed himself down and gently positioned the Star Stone onto the map. He then recited the mantra that he had simply realized from the huge sea of stars. As she chanted, the blue glow on the Star Imprint Stone started to unfold to the ocean map, fusing into the place the place the ocean was depicted. Quickly after, all the ocean water on the map began to mild up, and the intense blue glow made all the sea appear lifelike.
Whether or not it was Xue Linglan, Yue Xinchuan, or Yu Mu Province, they might always remember what they noticed subsequent.
The primary to reach was the sound of the sound, the sound of the present within the bay, the sound of the waves, rolling and stirring, nibbling away on the big rock mass on the shore.
Quickly after, the traces that had been drawn with ink slowly pale as an actual sea appeared within the sea map. Everybody seemed on the sea by way of the chart as in the event that they had been trying on the sky. They may see every thing clearly. As they watched, the ocean steadily parted, and an enormous island broke out of the ocean. Numerous warships had been docked at its shores, and each constructing on the island was clearly seen. The Feathered Race’s signature white Thorn Flower Banner fluttered within the wind, and the wild, unyielding flowers bloomed on the ocean, by no means to be seen for a very long time.
That was how Ran Shan seemed like now! Xue Linglan checked out Yu Mu Province excitedly, solely to search out that Director Hai had lengthy since misplaced his wits and was observing every thing earlier than him. Within the sea map, Ran Mountains steadily moved away and a bigger sea appeared. Not lengthy after, all the sea appeared in entrance of everybody’s eyes. Yue Xinchuan’s face was stuffed with shock and ecstasy. His eyes had been immobile as he seemed on the scene earlier than him. Solely then did he perceive why this sea map might precisely depict each single shoreline. It was as a result of it was this sea’s most actual look. It was alive!
“This… That is merely a miracle, the primary time I’ve seen Ran Shan in his entirety. ” Yu Dui was so shocked that he was perplexed.
“The image on this map is certainly the Dragon Roar!” Nevertheless it could not have come from the Yue household. ” At the moment, Xue Linglan had calmed down. She seemed on the ecstatic face of Yue Xinchuan and stated, “Inform me the reality, how did you get this map?”
Yue Xinchuan caressed the ocean map along with his hand. The materialized Ran Mountains gave off an ice-cold feeling. He might even really feel the ocean breeze that blew throughout his palm. He closed his eyes to really feel the slight chill, as if he was misplaced in thought.
There had as soon as been a plant plague in Orchid Metropolis, and that plague had led to a devastating catastrophe. The plush orchids and bushes of the Orchid Metropolis had all died in a single evening, which was an enormous blow to the Yue household, the shipbuilding household. Boat wooden is the most effective wooden for shipbuilding, with out the continual progress of Lan Cha wooden, the Yue household misplaced the benefits of shipbuilding.
At the moment, the Yue household was a household that was equally famend for his or her shipbuilding and navigation expertise. An ancestor who had as soon as traveled the ocean got here again from the east at this vital time, and what he introduced again was the dear orchid raft, even higher than the unique seed. With the seed he introduced again, the Lan Yue household shortly revived their household enterprise.
Nonetheless, such a hero died very quickly after returning. Within the ultimate moments, he went insane and will solely mutter one sentence time and again, “To the east, all the best way to the east. That’s the residence of the Yue household.” The folks tidied up his issues and located the chart, however nobody might decipher its secrets and techniques. At the moment, the Eldest Patriarch of the Yue household had despatched folks to the Jap Lands many occasions, however both not one of the individuals who left had discovered something or by no means returned. Ultimately, this sea map was collected within the Yue household’s attic, and slowly died down together with their status as a seamen’s household.
“This sea map would possibly comprise details about the legendary dragon race. Your ancestor will need to have skilled one thing.” Xue Linglan stated, “Let me try to see if I can discover one thing right here. If we will say that we will go all the best way east, it will be the Swirling Sea. Now that we’ve handed by way of it, maybe we will discover the place your ancestors went.”
“I do not assume we must always.” Yu Mu Province stated, “Princess, we aren’t a marine expedition fleet, and our ship is in pressing want of restore. Below such circumstances, we can not take such a danger simply due to an unknown sea map.”
Xue Linglan gently caressed the diagram. The symbols on it had been nonetheless vibrating with the chanting of the traditional occasions. She had already begun to steadily get used to it. “Regional Commander, you do not perceive …” She raised her head and checked out Yu Mu Province, her expression stuffed with immense grief. “Do you continue to not perceive what the Dragon Roar means to the Xue Clan?”
Yue Xinchuan was intimidated by Xue Linglan’s expression and couldn’t assist however to recall the golden age of the Feathered Race, the founding of the 9 Prefectures Empire.
“That’s the start line of our Xue Clan’s domination of the world. From then on, nobody in our Xue Clan will be capable of perceive the Dragon Roar. “Ever since my great-grandfather disappeared, the rumors concerning the Xue Clan’s benefactors who misplaced their stars by no means stopped …” Xue Linglan bit his decrease lip. “I did not count on that I might truly perceive the Dragon Roar …” If it was three years earlier, or perhaps a yr earlier, would every thing be totally different? ” As she spoke, her tears unconsciously fell onto the traditional sea map. Yue Xinchuan and Yulan checked out one another, not realizing what to do. Yu Mu Province was particularly uneasy. He might really feel Xue Luan’s heavy grief, however his responsibility was to elucidate the present scenario.
Ultimately, Yu Ling who was barely longer than Xue Linglan walked over. She put her arm round Xue Linglan’s shoulders and tried to research. “What precisely is east of Lan? For the reason that map would not have any markings on it, it is rather possible that additionally it is intentionally hidden like Lan Lan.” For the reason that Star Stone can set off the reappearance of the mountain, then maybe we will attempt one thing else? ” Yu Ling was a real arcane grasp of the age of twenty. As she spoke, she tried to infuse the ability of the age into the map. Sadly, there was no response. She checked out Xue Linglan. “Princess, there isn’t any response from somebody with the power on the prime of his age. Why do not you give it a attempt, Brightmoon?”
Everybody had a deep impression of her. Xue Linglan nodded and tried his greatest to calm his thoughts, gathering the star energy that affected the moon at his fingertips and reciting the mantra for the dragon chant. When she as soon as once more introduced her hand near the ocean map, the change instantly occurred.
The chart resurrected and the ocean surged. Then a skinny golden line appeared on the floor of the ocean. It cleverly handed by way of the windstorm and finally disappeared right into a white mist to the east.
“Might this be an air route?” Xue Linglan seemed on the golden thread in shock. The golden thread had handed proper by way of them. “However how did it disappear in the long run?”
“That is the ocean fog, and the realm the place the golden traces disappeared is the fog area.” Yue Xinchuan judged after trying on the remodeled chart. Xue Linglan subconsciously wished to make use of her hand to wipe it away, however when her hand got here involved with the ocean map, she felt as if her pores and skin was immediately soaked by the fog. Xue Linglan was secretly shocked, however after her hand caressed it, the fog that lingered on the ocean map disappeared.
On the finish of the golden line, an island appeared earlier than everybody’s eyes.
“The island!” Yue Xinchuan excitedly shouted, “This should be the Island of Future talked about by our ancestors!”
