Techniques and Dao

Chapter 188 Global Computing Power
The combination of magic and computational power was not something Hua Sheng had heard of before. He understood perfectly well the terrifying power that this implied!

Jane continued, "Someone must have provided the magic school with some kind of technology that allows the computing power of computers worldwide to be introduced into the magic school and enhance the effects of magic."

Master Qingmiao said, "Although I don't quite understand, I feel it's somewhat similar to the Ruyi Qiankun Formation we used just now. It's because of the intervention of some external force that the original magic formation has become more powerful."

Jian explained, "Combining computing power and magic is like implanting a computer chip without a physical form into magic, and this chip is connected to the global Internet, so the power of magic will increase dramatically!"

Qingmiao said, "Our Xiyuan's Daoist robes do indeed have a certain effect on enhancing immortal arts. But the enhancement is limited. Do you also have such magic?"

He replied simply, “I had never heard of this power before. But it’s clear that the magicians from the magic academy who went to the East were equipped with this magic, or some kind of technology. Not only that, they also set up a central command center at the Klin Magic Academy to more efficiently deploy the attacking forces.”

Upon hearing this, Hua Sheng became even more anxious and quickly said, "This sounds extremely troublesome!"

Jane shook her head and said, "It's far from that! The magic teams that severed the dragon veins are said to be equipped with twelve groups of people. They will set up extremely powerful magic arrays in various regions around the world."

After hearing this, Hua Sheng asked, "Didn't they say the dragon vein is in Nanjing? Shouldn't they be going there? Why are they going all over the world?"

"The Magic Academy plans to set up a super-giant six-pointed star magic circle, placing the Jinling Dragon Vein at the center of the magic circle."

"Huh?" Hua Sheng was taken aback. "What is this thing? With such destructive power, is it a nuclear bomb?"

"Far more terrifying than nuclear bombs!"

Master Qingmiao explained, "The width of this dragon vein is about the same as the entire Jinling. Aren't all the magic circles I've seen quite small? Even the one that summoned that platinum dragon just now only required a tiny space. If the entire Jinling were to be placed at the center of a magic circle, how big would that magic circle have to be?"

Hua Sheng quickly said, "Yes, yes! I heard that Nanjing's area exceeds 6,000 square kilometers. Just how big is this six-pointed star magic circle?"

Jane said solemnly, "It's the Giant Seal of Solomon. Its area is vast, stretching from Russia in the north to the Indian Ocean in the south, from Europe in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east. It covers a total of 63 million square kilometers..."

Hua Sheng gasped, "What on earth is that?! Why would they set up such a huge magic circle?"

Jane said, "Do you remember the spherical magic circle we had with the Fallen Angels? When all three corners are right angles, the power of the triangle magic circle will reach its peak!"

"Of course, it's just what happened! And then what?"

"The six-pointed star magic circle, also known as the Seal of Solomon, is a six-pointed star composed of two triangles."

Hanamori's mouth dropped open: "It can't be... that all six corners will form right angles?"

"Yes! It's more than one-eighth of the Earth's surface area. The Demon School will use the Earth's natural spherical shape to set up six right-angled Solomon seals! This will completely sever and destroy your Eastern Dragon Vein within two minutes!"

Using the entire arc of the Earth, a Solomon sealing magic circle with six right angles was set up!
How could Klin Magic Academy not know how to set up such a magic circle? But Hanamori never expected that the entire Earth would be used!

This is a magical intensity that increases exponentially; if you add the entire world's computing power to that, how could the dragon vein possibly withstand such an impact!
Immortal Master Qingmiao and Huasheng were immediately speechless with astonishment.

Hua Sheng never imagined that the Magic Academy would deploy a magic array weapon with such immense destructive power and area.

He immediately broke out in a cold sweat: "Immortal Master, what will happen if the Jinling Dragon Vein is severed...?"

Master Qingmiao replied, “If this were to happen, not to mention the enormous depletion of the mountain and river's energy, the mere fact that the dragon vein would be severed from west to east over a distance of approximately ten thousand miles would inevitably result in hundreds of millions of casualties. The entire feng shui formation would be completely destroyed, and disasters would ravage the areas along the way for many years. Without thousands of years of recuperation, the dragon vein's energy could never be restored.”

Hua Sheng slapped a rock beside him, splitting it into several pieces, and asked, "Jane! The Magic Academy should have set off for the East long ago. Why didn't they inform you that you were going, especially since you're a top-notch magic student? Why did we only find out at the last minute!"

"FXXK! It's all your fault, you bastard!"

Jane jumped up and punched a granite block next to her, causing a large dent in the block.

Then she yelled, "Write that damned period leave slip! That's why the Demon School thought I was sick and didn't call me when they set off to attack the Dragon Vein!" Hua Sheng was stunned for a long time. What Jian said made sense; it was entirely his responsibility.

He could only stamp his foot and say, "But there are only two hours left, we can't give up! We have to think of a solution, we can't let the six-pointed star magic array destroy the dragon vein!"

Master Qingmiao looked at Hua Sheng and asked, "Do you have a solution?"

Hua Sheng said, "Calm down! We need to sort out our thoughts first! Immortal Master, how long would it take to get back now at the fastest?"

"At full speed, it would take about one to two hours."

“It seems too late to go back! Instead of going back, we might as well go to Paris,” Hua Sheng said.

"Back to Paris?"

"As Jane just mentioned, the Magic Academy has a command center for attacking the Jinling Dragon Vein, and it seems that global computing power is concentrated at the Magic Academy. Since they've mobilized a large force, their rear defenses will likely be weak! They would never expect us to be able to directly outflank them!"

Jane said, "Perhaps we can find a way to stop this once we get to the Demon School. If everyone sees me, maybe we can find a way to persuade them to stop the attack."

Master Qingmiao said, "But if you stand on our side, you might be accused of being a traitor. I hope you will think this through carefully."

Jane sighed and replied, "We need to try to negotiate first. Many professors know me."

However, Hua Sheng lacked confidence in this suggestion and shook his head, saying:

"Intuitively speaking, the success rate of negotiations between the two sides is not high. Moreover, as you just said, there must be an instigator behind the Magic School, otherwise they wouldn't dare to use such a large force. But as long as Jane is willing to stop this, we are willing to take the gamble, even if it means going all out."

Qingmiao said, "Although we can alleviate the attack of the magic army, I think someone still needs to stop that huge six-pointed star magic array."

Jane nodded in agreement: "Without stopping the six-pointed star, we cannot fundamentally prevent the disaster from happening."

Hua Sheng said, "We still need to resolve the issue of global computing power entering the Klin Magic Academy. Preventing the input of computing power will also protect the dragon vein. The situation is urgent; we must contact Saint Pingning first!"

Master Qingmiao said, "Hua Sheng, you and Xiao Qi both threw the Ruihua Treasure Mirror near the Panxian Cave because you were worried about being followed. Now that we can't contact Sheng Pingning by cell phone in the mortal realm, what should we do?"

"Ah!" Hua Sheng suddenly remembered this, "I threw away the Ruihua Mirror long ago when I was trying to escape!"

“I do have a cell phone! Who in your Saint Pingning would carry a human cell phone? This…” Jane said, “Even if you could call the police on the human side, you still wouldn’t be able to contact Saint Pingning! Who would believe that?”

The three men frowned, lowered their heads, and remained silent, seemingly at a loss for what to do.

Jane picked up the Star Rainbow Codex and unconsciously flipped through it, when suddenly a white slip of paper fell out of the pages.

A sea breeze blew by, and the white paper was instantly blown away.

Snapped!
Hua Sheng, quick-witted and agile, pinched the slip of paper between two fingers.

He and Master Qingmiao stared blankly at the white paper swaying back and forth in the wind, when suddenly they both shouted at the same time.

Jane covered her gaping mouth and uttered a sentence through her fingers:

"Ah! That pervert with the earring gave me the phone number!"

At this moment, it is 10:58 AM Monte Carlo time. 5:58 PM Nanjing time. 4:45 PM Santo Niño time.

There are 2 hours and 02 minutes left until the six-pointed star magic circle of the ultimate Solomon seal is formed and the Jinling Dragon Vein is severed!
