Chapter 2512  Atleanteans

"Atlantean?" The name was something that Lin Mu didn't particularly recognize. "What are those?" he asked.

"It's not surprising you haven't heard about them before, they aren't a race that like to make themselves known." Xukong replied. "But to answer you, they are a sea dwelling race of humans." "They're humans?" Lin Mu raised his brows. "So that statue that the twins saw was that of an Atlantean?" he asked.

"Indeed." Xukong replied. "But aren't there other races that have similar characteristics too? Like the Merpeople and fishkin?" Lin Mu asked in doubt. "There are, but they won't match this since I'm not basing it on just their appearance, but rather the barrier in front of you." Xukong replied. "You know about the barrier?" Lin Mu raised his brows. "Is it a formation or what?" "That barrier is perhaps one of the greatest works of the Atlantean Race. Its their Mystic Atlantean Domain." Xukong revealed. "And no, it's not a formation. You can think of it as a 'property' of a material." He added.

"A property? So something like the magnetic force of a lodestone?" Lin Mu began to understand what Xukong was talking about.

"Indeed. Just as how a Lodestone possesses magnetism, the Mystic Atlantean Domain is the property of Atlantean Neptunium. Its a special mineral that was created by the forefathers of the Atlantean a long item ago as a means to provide them a safe haven." Xukong explained. "The 'barrier' created by it is special such that it prevents humans and humanoid cultivators from getting through it as well as anything they might be a.s.sociated with it. It also doesn't actually stop Qi so it serves as a good way of hiding their settlements.

It allows the pa.s.sage of water, and beasts through it along with other inanimate objects. When combined with some tools it can also create illusions that can further hide their presence, and as such even if s.h.i.+ps and other people pa.s.s by it, they won't sense it." He added.

"That is very powerful." Lin Mu could see the benefits of such a material. "But there seems to be some mismatches here. There is no illusion here." He added.

"That might be for now, but there was definitely an illusion hiding it long ago." Xukong replied. "It's likely that the Atlantean Neptunium is running out of energy as such other functions of the tool are failing. If not for that, this place should have been discovered in the past." He explained.

"Hmm… that does make sense." Lin Mu thought about it. "How long do you think this place has been here?" he questioned.

"Considering the fact that there have been no records of Atlanteans living in the Rust Sky World, they must have always lived in secrecy or at the very least, did until they were wiped out somehow. It might have been during the warring period of the Rust Sky World or even before that." Xukong answered.

Lin Mu nodded his head as that seemed correct. He had read about the history of the Rust Sky World and combining that with what he had learned from the Haima Tribe, it was clear that basically no one knew of the Atlanteans or at the very least there was no one left anymore that knew about it.

There might have been records hidden in some places or lost, but Lin Mu didn't have much hope of someone finding them. Though the presence of Atlanteans didn't seem that far fetched if one considered that fact that the Misty Sea World which was one of the worlds located near the Rust Sky World was primarily dominated by Aquatic races.

Lin Mu knew of a lot of Merpeople that lived there along with tens of Aquatic races that were quite diverse in addition to of course the beasts who were the true rulers of the world. The humans that lived there were tiny fraction of it all and lived on the small islands that were barely present in the world.

'If there are Merpeople living there, perhaps Atlanteans might be living there too.' Lin Mu reckoned.

But before he could think more about that, he needed to focus on the task at hand.

"How do we get past this barrier, Senior?" Lin Mu questioned.

"For you it's simple. Your Spatial Skills aren't inhibited by it. But for others, it'll be a bit difficult." Xukong answered. "The straightforward method is to simply break this barrier, which should be possible with the power of everyone but we don't know what its containing. There are definitely defensive measures that would activate when you try that." He added.

"What else can we do than that?" Lin Mu didn't want to take the risk of damaging anything inside, or worse creating a large enough commotion that Yao Changying might find out about it. 'She might also sense the Soul Fragment somehow.' He thought.

"You will have to fool the barrier." Xukong spoke. "You will have to make it think that those pa.s.sing through it are beasts."

"Hmm… So mask their aura and imprint it with a beast's aura." Lin Mu quickly began to think. "Would beast bloodlines work?"

"Those that have already a.s.similated the bloodline might be able to get thorough if they can release the aura as densely as possible. As for those without it, you might need a concentrated souse of aura so the Bloodline Crystal might just work." Xukong proposed.

"I guess we can try that." Lin Mu decided to go back to the s.h.i.+p. "You two aren't coming?" he saw that the twins weren't following him.

"We'll check the area more, it doesn't seem like there's much danger there." Xiao Yin replied. "The other beasts are also living there just fine." "Yeah, we might find something more." Xiao Yang agreed.

"It should be fine." Xukong agreed as well. "The Atlanteans aren't as wary about the beasts so the barrier won't do anything to them and since the other beasts are fine there, it means that the defenses there don't target beasts either." He added.

"Very well, but be careful and inform me if you find anything." Lin Mu permitted them.

"Yes!" the twins said before darting back into the direction of the ruins.

Lin Mu on the other hand began swimming back up while the fish swam beside him.

The people on the s.h.i.+p already knew that he was coming up, but didn't know what he had discovered. After all, the fish couldn't hear the conversation between Lin Mu, the twins and Xukong.

~SPLASH~

Lin Mu jumped out of the water and flew up, landing on the deck of the s.h.i.+p.

"I reckon you found something?" Crown Prince Feng Shun inquired.

"I sure did." Lin Mu replied. "You'll be surprised." He said before telling them about it all.

After they finished listening to it most of them them were certainly surprised with only a couple of them being fine. One of them was Ziran while the other was Lady Kang.

"To think Atlanteans would have a settlement in the Rust Sky World too." Ziran spoke. "I thought they avoided this region of the Immortal Realm." He added. "Indeed, after the last rebellion I think they totally avoided the Western Immortal Court." Lady Kang nodded as well.

"What happened?" Lin Mu and the others were curious.

"The Atlanteans are primarily a reclusive race but there are always a few among them that wish to spread their influence." Ziran answered. "And while they might seem weak to hide all the time, but they are actually very strong. A majority of them are born with strong bodies and have the highest affinity to Water element. And unlike the other Aquatic races such as the Merpeople they aren't actually weak on land. They can live on land the same way as they can in the sea. Just imagine what the human cultivators would do if they had the same capability they do on land in water." He explained.

Lin Mu became intrigued by it as it was certainly an interesting case.

"Most worlds with humans are limited to the land since the oceans are far too dangerous with the aquatic beasts." Someone spoke.

"Yeah, they always outnumber us and going to the ocean is dangerous in most places. Especially the depths of it." Another person added it.

"If humans had the capabilities, we would have already conquered the oceans." Lady Kang stated. "But the Atlanteans are really capable of it." She added.

"Indeed, and it has caused them to have several conflicts in the past." Ziran informed. "A few ambitious leaders among them caused a large scale rebellion against the ruling powers of multiple worlds.

The Western Immortal Court's region was the worst affected and the resultant war led to the wipe out of all the Atlanteans. Now the only ones left are those in the Northern, Southern and Eastern Immortal Court and they almost always stay hidden." He revealed.

"No wonder we didn't know about them here."
