The air inside the Sanctuary Alchemy Tower and the docked yacht’s lower research bay crackled with static electricity.
On a central magnetic suspension pedestal, the three ancient pre-flood jade tablets recovered from the Kunlun glacier were humming with a deep, melodic vibration. The microscopic circuits carved into the moss-green stone glowed with rhythmic pulses of sea-blue light, like a living heartbeat responding to a distant call across the ocean.
Old Master Mo leaned over the pedestal, his Heavenly Appraisal Eye blazing with intense azure luminescence.
Lin Xiaoxiao stood beside him, her tablet screen displaying real-time geographic magnetic readings.
“As our orbital satellite link locks onto the Mediterranean basin, the faster they vibrate,” Lin Xiaoxiao reported, her fingers tapping rapidly on her touchscreen. “The harmonic frequency has increased by three hundred percent in the last ten minutes alone. Look at this waveform, Master Mo. The tablets aren’t just reacting to local crustal geology. They are synchronizing with an external, active energetic source five thousand miles away!”
Lin Mo stepped into the laboratory, followed by Chu Lingxiao and Master Lu Jian.
Across the main holographic wall, the live orbital satellite feed of the dark eastern Mediterranean Sea stretched toward the horizon under a moonlit sky.
