Chapter 243: Teleportation Array
Song Jiulai’s own cultivation was originally hidden at the early Qi Condensation stage, but it was too low and not suitable for going to the Longshuang Great Marsh.
She could only change it once a year for free, and this time she wasted a bit of energy to change it to the late Qi Condensation stage.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to keep up with the others in the team.
She looked around and asked, “Isn’t Mu Qiu also going?”
The System said, “We’re departing together. She’s in the next batch.”
Song Jiulai suddenly understood and excitedly headed towards Honghuang.
“Excuse me, fellow Daoist, are you also going to the Longshuang Great Marsh?”
Song Jiulai squeezed into the crowd and enthusiastically greeted Honghuang and An Xiu.
Honghuang glanced at her suspiciously, but he was quite outgoing and immediately smiled, “Yes, fellow Daoist, you too.”
Only An Xiu scrutinized Song Jiulai.
Song Jiulai nodded, “Yes, what a coincidence!”
System: “Are you deliberately making such an awkward topic because you think Honghuang is stupid?”
Song Jiulai: “Shut up, I won’t allow you to talk about my son like that!”
System: “…”
Even Honghuang could tell how awkward Song Jiulai’s topic was. However, since they were traveling, it was the first time they had met a cultivator so enthusiastic towards them. He remained vigilant internally but was willing to humor Song Jiulai on the surface.
“It is indeed a coincidence, a coincidence,” Honghuang said enthusiastically. “My name is Honghuang, and this is my friend An Xiu. What do you call yourself, fellow Daoist?”
“Me? My name is Li Daqiang!”
Song Jiulai said with a very straightforward demeanor.
Honghuang raised an eyebrow subtly upon hearing the name: “So it’s Brother Li.”
He remembered Su Daqiang.
Although the characters in Yunzhou Continent were different, the translated meaning was similar.
Many names followed the style of ancient Huaxia.
Mortals here sometimes took advantage of things when naming their children.
However, Yunzhou Continent did not restrict knowledge, so there were quite a few literate people, and their naming skills were quite high.
It was quite rare for someone to be as perfunctory as Li Daqiang!
He really wanted to tell Su Daqiang that he had found his half-brother.
Song Jiulai: “Then I’ll shamelessly call you Brother Honghuang too.”
An Xiu then privately messaged Honghuang: 【He has a problem, don’t interact with him much. 】
Honghuang: 【I know, can’t I tell? Do you really think I’m stupid? 】
An Xiu: 【Yes 】
Honghuang: 【…You bastard 】
‘Player Honghuang cursed and was muted for ten minutes.’
Honghuang: “…”
Now he couldn’t even send private messages.
He glared at An Xiu and then looked at Song Jiulai: “May I ask which sect Brother Li is from?”
“Me? Just a Rogue Cultivator,” Song Jiulai waved her hand, feigning curiosity as she asked Honghuang, “Brother Honghuang, what about you?”
“Flying Sparrow Sect.”
As expected, everyone was from the Flying Sparrow Sect when traveling.
Song Jiulai put on a look of understanding: “Flying Sparrow Sect, I’ve heard of it.”
As they were talking enthusiastically, the leading disciple in front asked them to line up in groups of fifty, interrupting their conversation.
They were instructed to hold their Jade Tokens tightly and enter the tower containing the Teleportation Array in order.
There were four Teleportation Arrays in Guanhai Sect, leading to four different directions.
Upon entering the tower, everyone realized that the Teleportation Array, which seemed to be in the sky from the outside, was actually inside the tower.
A huge Bagua platform was placed in the center, with various complex and profound incantations interwoven within it.
A sky-piercing light array rotated within the tower, and the entire Teleportation Array emitted a light similar to Spirit Stones, but the Spirit Stone platform in the middle for people to stand on was still dim and lifeless.
Song Jiulai and Honghuang were seeing this Teleportation Array for the first time.
Both of them couldn’t help but exclaim “Wow.”
Song Jiulai: It’s so big, it would be great if Longevity Sect could build one in the future.
Honghuang: It’s so big, can our sect afford to build one in the future?
Building a Teleportation Array requires High-grade Spirit Stones to fill it, a cost that small sects simply cannot afford.
Then the two looked at each other.
They exchanged glances and confirmed that they were both people who had never seen the world.
Honghuang, who had just felt Song Jiulai had a problem, suddenly felt a sense of camaraderie: “Brother Li, is this your first time seeing it too?”
Song Jiulai nodded.
Honghuang glanced at the calm crowd ahead, then coughed again: “Never mind, Brother Li, let’s both be calm, lest others think we’re inexperienced.”
Song Jiulai: “…”
Isn’t that the truth?
An Xiu behind them narrowed his eyes slightly.
No matter how vigilant and careful he was, he would never have imagined that the cultivator before him was the Sect Master in disguise.
He only felt that anyone who approached Honghuang so inexplicably must have a problem!
Everyone, holding their Jade Tokens, stepped onto the Teleportation Array in order.
Once inside the Formation, those with higher cultivation levels stood in the widest areas, while they, being at the Qi Condensation stage, could only squeeze together.
Song Jiulai noticed that there were only two or three Golden Core stage cultivators, while the Foundation Establishment stage and Qi Condensation stage were similar.
Because it was a long-distance Teleportation Array, Song Jiulai heard the leading disciple say outside: “Those taking the Teleportation Array for the first time will feel very uncomfortable. You must endure it. The chance of an accident with the Teleportation Array is very small, but not impossible. If something goes wrong during the teleportation and you die—then it was your fate.”
What?!
Why didn’t you say anything about this earlier!
Wow, Song Jiulai had never seen such a situation where they took no responsibility for accidents.
Although this was common in the Cultivation World.
It didn’t stop her from complaining a bit.
The others, however, all looked as if they were used to it.
But before anyone could react, the Spirit Stone platform they were standing on erupted with a blinding light.
In the next instant, they were no longer in the same place.
It was a very mystical sensation; Song Jiulai could clearly see her Body being pulled apart into wisps of Fragments.
Her consciousness was clear.
It wasn’t exactly uncomfortable.
She felt rather clear-headed.
The process was both fast and slow, so slow that Song Jiulai saw a moment of colorful splendor, as if accelerating past many Things.
It was so fast it felt like the blink of an eye.
By the time she regained her senses, she had already appeared in a magical land.
The first thing that caught her eye was a massive Black Tortoise Tower in the distance, in the Sky.
The tower was carved in the shape of a Black Tortoise and hung in the Sky, amidst swirling clouds, carrying the building as if it were moving through the Sky.
A sense of pressure came from all directions, and faintly, she could hear sounds of singing and dancing.
Around it, similar structures were not uncommon.
Only this Black Tortoise Tower was the largest.
And below it, there was also a huge city-state.
The Teleportation Array they were standing on was now an open-air location, with several giant Stone Pillars forming ruins that enclosed the Teleportation Array.
Disciples guarding the area could be seen all around.
At this moment, a wave of vomiting sounds came from the surroundings.
The disciples at the Foundation Establishment and Qi Condensation stages had weak limbs and were preparing to step out of the Teleportation Array, clearly still feeling disoriented and dizzy.
The two male cultivators at the Golden Core stage, however, had normal expressions.
Song Jiulai reacted quickly, but she noticed that Honghuang and An Xiu over there also showed no reaction.
However, they tacitly lowered their heads and, along with the crowd, pretended to have weak legs as they walked out.
Shen Hai’an and his companion, however, keenly noticed the abnormality of the three.
I have something to do tomorrow and need to go out, so I’ll rest now. Two more chapters will be updated during the day or—at night.
