      Nine Rings C17

      Nine Rings C17 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 17: The Eccentric The tradition of the Record Keeper of the Heard has been passed down through the ages, branching into various sects over time. The He family remains steadfast in their adherence to the old ways. Traditional Record Keepers of the Heard hold a distinctly martial worldview, forbidding their direct descendants from pursuing official positions or high-level clerical work. As a direct descendant of the great-grandson generation, He Yu was naturally barred from such professions. From a…

      Nine Rings C49

      Nine Rings C49 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 49: Songjiachang Reservoir After six months of digging through data, Hou Jinshan finally concluded that the Nieyao Divine Mountain was actually Shennongjia in Hubei. But up to this point, it was still just an educated guess based on basic information—he had no way to confirm it for certain. So he began searching for the whereabouts of the Nine-Ring Jade Casket, hoping to see it again. As we talked, Xiao Wu caught my look and went to lock the door. I pulled the Jade Casket out of my bag and…

      Nine Rings C28

      Nine Rings C28 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 28: The Right Decision Throughout history, inverted murals and decorations haven’t been all that rare. Sometimes, the ancients used reflections in lakes to create illusions that blended reality and fantasy—like using water to mirror the figures in a mural, crafting the illusion of an underwater city, a so-called “divine miracle.” He Yu was an authority on ancient paintings and artifact authentication. So when he said the image was “upside down,” I knew he wasn’t talking about…

      Nine Rings C60

      Nine Rings C60 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 60: Suffocation This covered bridge probably doesn’t have too many traps, but that’s just my preliminary guess. After all, I’m not the one who built this ruin. Someone capable of embedding iron chains into the base of stone statues underwater is definitely no ordinary craftsman. If he insisted on rigging the bridge with something, I’d just have to accept my fate. Besides, it’s not like my mouth is really blessed with divine foresight. I raised my hand and gave Hou Jinshan a look. He…

      Nine Rings C07

      Nine Rings C07 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 7: The Strange Team With Fourth Brother not around, I locked the door from the inside and lay down on the bed, reflecting on everything that had happened today, especially that Nine-Ring Jade Casket. When Tian Yuqing asked me to take a closer look the second time, I did notice something I hadn't seen before. On the right side of the casket, there was a faint painting applied with a special kind of paint, which I hadn't noticed at first. I guessed it must be a unique paint that only becomes…

      Nine Rings C39

      Nine Rings C39 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 39: The Thief I stared at the casket, frozen in the act of unzipping my backpack, and stayed that way for over half an hour. The auntie on the lower bunk kept glancing up at me, probably thinking I had some kind of problem. When I first saw the Jade Casket sitting untouched in my bag, I could hardly believe it. My mind instantly flashed back to all the terrifying things Tian Yuqing had said about its origins. But truth be told, I’d never taken those stories seriously. In this world, at least…

      Nine Rings C71

      Nine Rings C71 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 71: Lu A'yao's Warning Of course I didn’t agree with what he said. The man wasn't even dead yet, and even if he were, I’d still want to bring him back and give him a proper burial. But Fourth Brother wasn’t joking. He was dead serious, trying to discuss it with me—or maybe he never intended to ask for my opinion at all. After all, everyone here listened to him. If he said to leave someone behind, who would dare disobey? When I didn’t respond, Fourth Brother asked, “You’re not…

      Nine Rings C18

      Nine Rings C18 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 18: A Rocky Start Once the makeshift pulley was securely fastened directly above the pit, everything was ready. The two professors entered the large tent one after the other. We followed closely behind. I initially intended to listen attentively to their arrangements, but as they spoke, I found it was like being in a math class—after a few sentences, I started to feel sleepy. So I moved over to sit next to He Yu. Most of the meeting was dominated by Wu Yili and the bald professor, with Tian…
