Chapter 483 The Secret of the Tower of Babel

“Grandpa Liao, good morning! ” Ma Shuangshuang smiles sweetly. Liao wakes up with a hangover and finds that everyone is very nice to him. It makes him subconsciously cover his wallet.

Although Liao has run a variety store on N2 trading star for many years, in terms of money, he is only a little richer than Lin Luoran when she first came to Nami Alliance.

“Well, Liao, good morning.”

Cyan little fox has cleaned its face and washed its hands. It paces gracefully and calmly, passing in front of Liao and even greeting him.

Liao’s face is pale. He feels that his head is about to explode. For an old monster who has lived for so many years and witnessed so many events in the world, it is still very weird that this damn fox which treated him indifferent now suddenly becomes polite to him.

Today, they are going to invite the Windsors to dinner so everyone is busy in the kitchen. Colin is learning to steam buns. Learning how to knead dough is really difficult for an alien. Everyone in the kitchen laughs so much about it.

Liao is so confused and goes to have a look. When Liao sees Lin Luoran mixing stuffing, he twitches his nose and senses the familiar pork and leek stuffing smell. He tries his best to stay away from the temptation of food, frowned, and tugging Lin Luoran’s sleeve.

“Nephew, what did I tell you last night?”

Lin Luoran coughs, controlling her smile, “I have known everything. What do you want to know?”

Liao says bitterly, “Did I tell you why I sent you the Dragon Palace?”

Lin Luoran nods and invites Liao to sit down. She serves him a cup of tea, “You said guarding the Dragon Palace was too troublesome so you sent it to me. Besides, uncle Liao, you also told me how you had stolen the Dragon Palace from the Dragon King of Dongting Lake.”

Old Liao blushes and changes the topic immediately.

“Did I ever tell the secret of the Tower of Babel?”

The smile on Lin Luoran’s face kind of disappears but she still nods.

Even Liao doesn’t know when the Tower of Babel appeared on the banks of the Euphrates River. Liao was drunk last night and said that the Tower of Babel was not only an interstellar transmission circle, but also the last line of defense set by an unknown mighty for the earth.

“Turning on the Shelter of Gods of the Tower of Babel takes five cultivators of single Taoist root with all five elements and sufficient Reiki support.”

Lin Luoran’s heart was beating fiercely at that time. Cultivators of single Taoist root with five elements… aren’t they Wen Guanjing, Luo Dong, Li Xi’er, Cui Wanlu, and Xiao An from Qingcheng Taoist Temple?

The Shelter of Gods did trigger once. It destroyed most of the mutant monsters and stopped the Alpha Alliance coalition forces. The Shelter of Gods has brought precious time of more than two hundred years to recuperate for the earth. Liao’s words and the crazy Taoist’s message are counterparts. Since “the Shelter of Gods” can be turned on, it means that before that time, all five people with the five elements single Taoist root had been alive and well.

‘But you did not answer this question for me last night. How can I turn on the Tower of Babel again after it shut down… “Lin Luoran is staring at Liao who subconsciously turns his face to another side.

“It’s not the time yet.”

Liao is very secretive. He is trying to avoid this topic. Lin Luoran is then staring at the beautiful arc roof of the castle, “You know what I want to know.”

Liao is really in a dilemma and he scratches the back of his head, “Your families followed the little Taoist of the Jiuli Tribe into the Tower of Babel. The Tower of Babel has been closed for these years. I am not any god or immortal. How can I know that? They may have been to ancient Babylon like you. They may have been to the future world thousands of years later. They may even have been lost in time and space. Even if you can turn on the Tower of Babel again, there is no way to control the Tower of Babel without star atlas. ”

“Star atlas?” Lin Luoran is startled, seemingly unbelievable.

Liao sighs, “When we met last time, I went to Babylon to trick the old high priest to help me find the star atlas. Unfortunately, it was messed up by the variables of your travel to another era. The star atlas is lost… totally lost…”

Liao opens his eyes wide, as if he has seen a ghost.

Lin Luoran holds the jade stairs with small cracks suspending in her hand. Its blue light is hazy. The crazy Taoist once said that this thing is called “star atlas”. She has also witnessed similar stars light spots on the dome of the Tower of Babel—

“Is this what you are talking about?”

Liao rubs his eyes, “This thing… how… how do you get it?”

Lin Luoran thinks for a while and then tells Liao about what happened in the Kalahari Desert. Liao sighs for many times, “The god of destiny makes fools of the people. Sure enough, everything is arranged by Tao.”

He has the same opinion as Lin Luoran. Back then, the fake saintess and the ancestor of the monsters of wood walked in the stone gate of the Tower of Babel. With their personal ability, they could easily pass the transmission test of the Tower of Babel. The ancestor of the monsters of wood has disappeared and is no longer seen in the world. He must have been transported away through the Tower of Babel.

But the fake saintess was later sealed by the Jiuli Tribe in the Kalahari Desert underground world, which means that she must have found a way out at that time!

“Not only that, the fake saintess also found star atlas at the time. Maybe because of this, she gave up the chance to return to her hometown.”

Lin Luoran is holding the jade stairs and her eyes are shining. Many questions which she could not figure out before have been settled after confirmed by Liao. Jade stairs are the “star atlas” which can manipulate the Tower of Babel which can travel through time and space and enter different civilizations. It must have an inevitable connection with the stars engraved behind jade stairs.

“Even the star atlas itself has the ability of space jump transmission. Otherwise, the fake saintess would not choose to abandon the Tower of Babel and take away the star atlas… After that, she was suddenly sealed by the Jiuli Tribe. Then, the three of Baojia and I were involved in the Kalahari Desert mess!”

Lin Luoran sighs when thinking of the old history.

“Uncle Liao, since I have the star atlas, can you finally tell me how to open the Tower of Babel again?”

Liao wants to escape but he is caught by Lin Luoran.

He laughs awkwardly, “Single five elements Taoist root can open the Shelter of Gods and close the Tower of Babel. However, only a powerful cultivator with all five elements can open it again… Don’t look at me, your situation is really weird. Although you can use Spells of the Five Elements, with Lord Liao’s sensitive eyes, I can know that your Taoist root is mottled and impure, unlike the orthodox cultivator with five elements Taoist root. Although you have advanced to the Gathering Vitality period, it is really ridiculous that you want to open the Tower of Babel.”

Lin stares at Liao without a word. She has never been seen through by others. Liao who has lived for so many years really has excellent eyesight.

Two petals between the eyebrows of her Gathering Vitality are still not lit. She is relying on the white chaotic Taoist root which makes her own all five elements. She wants to fill the Taoist root of the Earth and the Gold. Besides the insights to the Earth and the Gold, according to her experience, she still needs two spirit animals of these two elements to water the spirit herb with blood for a lifetime… She has to kill two more spirit animals and get two magical restoratives?

Lin Luoran looks at the jade stairs in her hand. In this world, spirit animals now only exist in the vast starry sky and “monster forest” in Penglai.

It’s not a big deal. She can cross the Sea of Sin again. Lin Luoran puts the jade stairs away with unspeakable joy.

Even if she can’t enter Penglai, she can still try other methods. She can collect the twelve jade plates and go to Bermuda the Secret Territory to find spirit animals… Only Training Qi cultivators can enter the Secret Territory? Nonsense! Didn’t White Fairy enter the Secret Territory when she was in the Gathering Vitality period? Since according to her past experience could be there, Lin Luoran also has confidence in herself.

“Wait, the Gathering Vitality cultivators disappeared thousands of years ago because of the fake saintess… or were they transmitted through the Tower of Babel? I will tell you the truth, Uncle Liao. On the way here, we once got lost and been to a wild primitive planet. We saw bodies of senior cultivators most likely at the period of Divinization…”

Liao frowns, “The Gathering Vitality cultivator disappeared a thousand years ago? It may not because of the fake saintess, nor the Tower of Babel. Since the Han Dynasty, the earth’s Reiki has declined and some people have been preparing for migration… The bodies of the cultivators you saw could not be Divinization cultivators. ”

Seeing Lin Luoran staring at himself curiously, Liao hesitates for a long time. He feels that as a Gathering Vitality cultivator, Lin Luoran has known some secrets and it may be the time to tell her the truth. He signals Lin Luoran to put some more water in his teacup. Liao holds the teacup and thinks for a while. Liao finally figures out the whole thing.

“Let’s put it this way. You know, I’ve lived so long. Even though I don’t have any personal ability, I can always know some secrets after so many years… Do you know where cultivators go after Divinization and becoming immortals?”

Lin Luoran is stunned because of Liao’s question.

She has been thinking about this question for a long time. It is not easy to be immortal and personal ability enhancement is so difficult. Where do those Divinization cultivators who only exist in stories go after becoming immortals and breaking through the void?

Seeing the remains of Danling Taoist, Lin Luoran thinks the so-call becoming immortal is to leave the earth. However, according to Liao, Danling Taoist on the wild planet was not a Divinized Cultivator—does it mean that the destination of Divinized Cultivators is just the place where they go by the Tower of Babel as the crazy Taoist said? Besides the long distance, are there more rules?

“Do Divinized Cultivators break ‘Jie’?”
