Techniques and Dao

Chapter 111 The Threads of Jupiter (2)

"The Bedland?"

Tai Shang Xiao Jun, Mie Ying, and Hua Sheng looked at each other in bewilderment.

Clearly, the Bede Lan that Tai Shang Xiao Jun and Mie Ying knew about was just a scene that appeared when the immortal array was corrupted during the clever box game in the Tianmu Trial.

Only Hua Sheng knew that this cruise ship should be the coordinates when Ming You descended to earth. In other words, the thing that caused the so-called "time resonance" of the Jupiter Silk was the Jupiter Veil that Ming You had before the rain.

Hua Sheng did not interrupt Jian.

Jane continued, "At first, our professor thought it was a middle-aged man in a blue robe, but he discovered that he was just using what you call magic to transfer the passengers on the cruise ship. The one who truly resonated with the Jupiter Threads was a little girl in black who appeared later!"

Master Yu Ran asked, "Little girl?"

Jane said, "Our professor recognized that the little girl in black was wearing a veil made of Jupiter silk."

Mieying interrupted, "Wait! But didn't you just say that the Jupiter Silk can't be woven into anything?"

"So the professors were immediately surprised to discover that something else had been added to this tulle woven from Jupiter silk. That thing is called an energy string."

Tai Shang Xiao Jun said in surprise, "Energy String... I have indeed heard of it."

Hua Sheng immediately realized that this was in the Panxian Cave.

“Energy strings are fundamental to the world. So there are hundreds of millions of people in the world who know about them,” Jane said. “These things can indeed combine with Jupiter threads, which we have already discovered in our professor’s research.”

Taishang Xiaojun asked, "Since you know this, why do you say they will be surprised?"

He answered simply, “The Jupiter filament and the energy string can combine. But when the two first come into contact, it will trigger a violent reaction. Like a chemical reaction, it's an extremely powerful and unavoidable release of energy. Once they come into contact, this world will cease to exist. No, perhaps even the universe will cease to exist.”

Master Yu Ran said, "It sounds like a boundless level immortal technique? No, if it were to return everything to its origin, it would probably surpass the boundless level..."

"Super Limitless?" Everyone exclaimed in shock, "Why would contact between the Jupiter Thread and the Energy String trigger such a world-destroying catastrophe?"

Jane said, "You wouldn't understand even if I explained."

Immortal Master Yu Ran replied, "Little sister, the Academy of Arts and Sciences is, after all, a place of instruction. The immortal masters and disciples are not illiterate people. Why don't you explain it to us and see if we really can't understand it?"

Jane opened the red legal code in her hand, swiped her finger across it a few times, and two orbs of light flew out of the book. One was blue, and the other was red. The two orbs collided and instantly turned into a ball of white light and disappeared.

Jian said, "This world is composed of 'spacetime' represented by the Jupiter filament and 'quantum field' represented by the energy string. The two are inseparable in daily life, but once they exist separately, they cannot come into contact. When 'spacetime' and 'quantum field' collide for the first time, a new universe will be formed, also known as the Big Bang. Do you understand?"

Hanamori replied, "I think everyone in this era should have heard of the Big Bang..."

Tai Shang Xiao Jun pondered, "The Big Bang was indeed an existence that transcended the immeasurable level."

Jane explained, “The contact between the Jupiter thread and the energy string could cause our universe to be reset. So these two objects could never be sewn together into a garment! But in fact, this garment has appeared in the East, no, it should be said that this garment is in the future, and its wearer is merely peeking into and influencing the present through the future.”

Master Yu Ran said, "Little sister, you said earlier that the Jupiter Silk was stolen later?"

“Not bad.” Jian’s eyes were sharp as she stared at Immortal Master Yu Ran.

Master Yu Ran replied, "Perhaps we know of the existence of energy strings, but we do not know where the Jupiter Thread you mentioned is located. Not only that, it sounds like everyone should avoid contact between these two divine objects? Even if we have the Jupiter Thread, wouldn't combining the two objects be tantamount to self-destruction?"

Jane pressed on, saying, "No, perhaps you have already found the ability to integrate the Jupiter Threads and the Energy Strings."

"how you said that?"

“I’m afraid you’re getting old and senile,” Jane said bluntly. “Not long ago, you had a major battle in the stratosphere. At that time, something made of Jupiter threads and energy strings appeared on the battlefield.”

Master Yu Ran said, "Are you referring to the Battle of Qiankun in the stratosphere?"

"I don't care what it's called! Anyway, that thing appeared in that battle!"

Hua Sheng interjected, "But that Jupiter gauze dress is ruined!"

"What evidence is there?"

"I destroyed it with my own hands!" Hua Sheng angrily raised his golden cudgel and charged forward. It was he who had destroyed the Sui Xing Sha with his own hands; otherwise, how could Wei Yu have...

Tai Shang Xiao Jun stopped the furious Hua Sheng and said to the magician Jian, "Then you also need to have evidence to say that we did not destroy the Sui Xing Sha!"

"You don't need to keep the clothes made of Jupiter Silk. It's possible you've found the Energy String and learned how to combine the Jupiter Silk and the Energy String. Because on the same day as your battle in the stratosphere, the Jupiter Silk disappeared from the treasury of Klin Magic Academy!"

Immortal Master Yu Ran said, "All the immortal masters and disciples of the Daoist Academy that day, including the Dean Dao Ling Xing Jun, along with the entire academy, were in the stratosphere. Everyone's lives were in danger. How could we possibly go to that Lebanon you're talking about..." "Immortal Master... not Lebanon, that place is called Paris... Paris in France," Tai Shang Xiao Jun quickly corrected.

"Indeed. How could my Magic Academy possibly have the time to go to Paris to steal your magical artifact?"

Jane narrowed her eyes and said, "Very well. So you're admitting that none of you were in Saint Pingning at the time? With tens of thousands of teachers and students in your Magic Academy, who would know if one of them escaped?"

"Shut up!" Master Yu Ran shouted, "How dare you call the Academy of Arts and Sciences such petty thieves!"

The surrounding disciples of the magic academy were indignant and made a great fuss. Some of them were even itching to teach these magicians from the Klin Magic Academy a lesson.

Jane raised the red legal code in her hand and said, "We knew you weren't going to admit it, and now you're still denying it! We're here today because we found direct evidence in the lost treasure vault of the Jupiter Silk that the thief was from the Academy of Arts and Sciences!"

She shouted, "Here is the evidence of your thievery! Let's see how you deny it now!"

Jane opened the red law book in her hand and ran her finger across it.

Hua Sheng said, "You said we wanted to steal the Star of Jupiter's Silk, but we have to have a motive, right?"

"Are you really that confused, kid? If the Jupiter Silk were to form clothing, it could travel through time." Jane didn't even lift her eyelids. "Do you even understand what time travel means?!"

The other person looked to be only the age of a "young girl," yet she called Hua Sheng a brat.

Hua Sheng suppressed the sudden surge of anger within him and replied, "Of course I understand what time travel means."

Jane said, "Okay! Then tell me, what in the world can't I get if I have this dress?"

Hua Sheng said, "Are you saying that we took your things for our own selfish gain?"

"As long as this world exists, there will always be conflicts of interest!"

Master Yu Ran said, "Since you already knew that the Jupiter Veil that appeared during the Qiankun Defense War was related to your missing Jupiter Silk, you should also know that this Jupiter Veil belongs to the Mingyou, the enemy of our Daoist Academy. So why did you come to the Academy to ask for it?"

"We don't need to know anything about the underworld or anything like that; just seeing this will tell us who to look for!"

Jane removed her finger from the red codex, releasing a magical incantation that flashed with orange light. The incantation floated in the air, condensing into a thin, purple-gold thread as small as a hair.

Jane stretched out her hand, held the loose thread between her thumb and middle finger in the air, and said, "This is it!"

Master Yu Ran squinted and stared for a while before asking, "Little sister, what is the meaning of holding up two fingers? Are you trying to snap your fingers?"

Jane shouted angrily, "It's this! What I'm holding is a purple-gold thread!"

"My apologies. My eyesight has been failing lately, so please allow me to examine this carefully." Immortal Master Yu Ran stepped forward and extended his palm. The purple-gold thread flew out from Jian's palm and wobbled into Immortal Master Yu Ran's palm.

Master Yu Ran examined the loose thread closely and then returned it to Jian.

"This is indeed the purple-gold thread on the robes of my disciples at the Daoist Academy."

The Taoist robes of the Academy of Arts and Sciences were made by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden used purple-gold thread to embroider the immortal incantations from "All Laws Return to Their Origin" onto the robes, thereby enhancing the power of the academy's disciples' magic.

Hua Sheng recalled hearing about this when he first arrived at Xiyuan, and asked, "Why can this purple-gold thread be used as evidence?"

Jane chuckled a few times, but there was no hint of amusement in her words.

"After the Jupiter Silk disappeared from the treasury, this purple-gold thread was the only extra item found in our Klin Magic Academy's treasury. This tiny loose thread was so insignificant that it was left behind by the thief. Our magic professors searched every corner of the world but couldn't find anything similar. Only the robes of your Magic Academy disciples have this kind of thread!"

The relaxed and indifferent expression on Master Yu Ran's face gradually disappeared.

From this expression, everyone realized that what the magician named Jane said might actually be some kind of evidence.

Taishang Xiaojun asked, "Immortal Master, is it possible for this purple-gold thread to be forged?"

Master Yu Ran shook his head.

"Besides the Taoist robes of the Taoist Academy, has this purple-gold thread been used on any other objects?"

Master Yu Ran shook his head again and said, "In Shengping Ning, only the robes of my Xiyuan Academy are embroidered with the purple-gold thread specially made by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. There is no such thing anywhere else in heaven or on earth."

Mie Ying also got anxious and said, "If that's the case, does it mean that the disciples of the Magic Academy went to their Klin Magic School?"

Master Yu Ran glanced at Jian and said, "If the other party did not deliberately frame you, then it is probably indeed evidence."
