Chapter 975: Tong Yunshu's Discovery
Global major official media and self-media are broadcasting this strange spaceship from the Outer Domain.
The flying vehicles made by Earth's countries, especially high-altitude ones, are all sealed. However, this spaceship from beyond looks entirely like the oldest sea vessel.
It has a deck, rooms, and windows.
The key point is, it damn well looks completely made of wood.
Most importantly, according to the satellite images from last night, people on this ship can actually walk out of the cabin in high altitude and appear unaffected by the thin air on the deck outside.
So both the Divine Continent and other countries in the world basically call this strange spaceship the Ghost Ship.
Every country with satellite relay real-time tracking technology is watching over this Ghost Ship.
All Earthlings want to know one thing—where does this spaceship come from and what is it doing on Earth?
Regarding the banner that the Australian officials hung via balloon, many countries around the world saw it immediately.
No one ridiculed Australia's low posture of appeasement because the Divine Continent had already paid a painful price last night.
From the satellite footage, it can be seen that the Alien Race on the Ghost Ship noticed the banner Australia hung up and even spoke about it, commenting on it.
Yet they didn't respond in any way.
The most surprising thing is, the Ghost Ship that descended over Australia quickly left.
The Australian officials breathed a sigh of relief, fortunate in their wise decision to bow.
Nothing is more important than peace.
As long as the safety and prosperity of the country's people can be ensured, bowing to the strong is not shameful.
Judging from the satellite footage captured during the day with the sun shining, and with the Ghost Ship flying at low altitude, major powers soon captured clearer images of the Ghost Ship.
Every person appearing on the deck of this ship was individually listed by the intelligence systems of various countries.
Their every word captured in footage is being repeatedly researched and analyzed.
Countries are trying to analyze their words through video in real-time, to understand their language. Only then can effective communication be achieved.
On this day, there was no more scheming and plotting among countries on Earth, as all national thoughts were drawn to this Ghost Ship from the Outer Domain.
Will Earth usher in a grand era of interstellar journeys beyond the Solar System, or summon the strike of an Alien Civilization, possibly leading to Earth's plundering and colonization by extraterrestrial forces, becoming a major concern worldwide.
Unlike ordinary civilians, Heaven, Penglai Realm, as well as Hidden Sect and cultivation experts across countries, have been excited since last night after witnessing the powerful strength displayed by the cultivators aboard the Ghost Ship.
Even Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang, aside from feeling distressed and angry over the loss of five fighter jets, are personally excited and eager to discover powerful cultivators like these.
This indicates that the Cultivation Civilization can develop to higher levels.
For cultivators, this is exceptionally good news.
Especially for those elderly who have reached the peak realm achievable on Earth, they eagerly crave a higher realm, hoping to break the shackles of lifespan.
Divine Continent, Yunwu Mountain's Base.
After detecting that the Ghost Ship left Australia and continued slowly traveling along the Southern Hemisphere without heading toward the Divine Continent, Qin Yanyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Truthfully, after losing five fighter jets last night, she deeply resents this powerful outsider. Hatred aside, she realizes the strength of the enemy and knows there is a certain gap between them, worrying that the other side might seize this opportunity to retaliate against the Divine Continent.
Now that the Ghost Ship has descended to Earth's low altitude but did not immediately come to the Divine Continent, it shows they have no thoughts of revenge.
It seems that the Outer Realm Cultivators do not care about the attack and provocation from last night.
Of course, although the Ghost Ship hasn't come toward the Divine Continent, the military has already locked its radar on it, ready to launch the most powerful nuclear weapon at any cost should the command be given, to destroy it.
The nuclear weapons carried by fighter jets indeed do not threaten these cultivator warriors, but Qin Yanyang believes the most powerful nuclear weapon possessed by the Divine Continent can still deal a devastating blow to this Ghost Ship.
Of course, this is also what most earthlings think.
No matter how powerful a cultivator is, they're still flesh and blood; as long as the nuclear power is maximized, they should not withstand it.
In the monitoring room, Zhuge Cang and Tong Yunshu were also present.
When those Outer Realm Cultivators on the Ghost Ship spoke, Zhuge Cang furrowed his brows, carefully identifying their lip movements.
Qin Yanyang and a member of the Military Department most skilled in lip reading were also watching their lip movements.
Unfortunately, in the end, they couldn't decipher their pronunciations.
"Yun Shu, did you find something?" Yang Fei suddenly asked Tong Yunshu.
He noticed Tong Yunshu had been staring at the surveillance footage, seemingly searching for something. Tosupportourwork,pleasereadonM|V|LE_MPYR.
Everyone looked at Tong Yunshu.
Tong Yunshu suddenly pointed at a display screen and said, "Rewind this video by one minute and twenty-seven seconds."
The operator looked at Qin Yanyang.
Qin Yanyang said, "Do it."
Soon, the operator rewound the video to one minute and twenty-seven seconds earlier and paused the footage.
Tong Yunshu pointed to a position and said, "Yang Fei, Master, what do you think this looks like?"
Yang Fei and Zhuge Cang both said, "Rune?"
Tong Yunshu said, "Yes, I also think it's a rune, it feels very familiar, as if I recognize it, yet I cannot make it out."
Qin Yanyang looked closely and saw that on one of the windows of the Ghost Ship, in a spot that wouldn't be noticed without close inspection, a golden Ghost Talisman appeared vaguely among the decorative carvings.
This was pointed out by Tong Yunshu, otherwise, even if you looked closely, it would be difficult to spot, especially since it was fleeting in the surveillance footage.
Qin Yanyang gave Tong Yunshu a peculiar look, wondering how she spotted this rune among a total of over ten surveillance screens.
Moreover, how had she remembered the point in time this rune appeared?
"Did you find it earlier?" Qin Yanyang asked.
Tong Yunshu nodded and said, "Yes, after that, I tried looking for similar runes in other surveillance screens but didn't find any. Actually, even this rune wasn't meant to be seen; it only vaguely appeared because the sunlight hit it at the right angle."
Qin Yanyang curiously asked, "Why is that?"
Before Tong Yunshu could answer, Zhuge Cang excitedly said, "This is a Spirit Ship entirely covered with runes, enveloped by a powerful Talismanic Array."
Tong Yunshu nodded and said, "It should be so. To think that once the Talismanic Array reaches a certain level, it can turn decay into magic, even allowing a wooden ship to wander through the void, truly impressive."
Zhuge Cang elatedly said, "These people must come from an advanced Cultivation Civilization, and the Talisman Tao and Formation Array there must be very powerful."
Yang Fei said, "That's certain, didn't you see that every one of them has the divine skill to roam the void, and a single sword can blow up a Divine Continent Fighter? The Cultivation Civilization in this world is terrifyingly strong. I really want to see what kind of world it is."
Zhu Tianshou and Xu Jian and others also had fervent gazes.
Clearly, for all cultivators, the pursuit is a higher realm.
With such a powerful Cultivation Civilization existing, who wouldn't want to see it as a cultivator?
"Perhaps I have thought of a way to communicate with them." Suddenly, Tong Yunshu spoke.
Everyone was surprised, then delighted, Qin Yanyang quickly said, "Really? Can you understand their language?"
