Cao Ya examined the teleportation array.

Given his status and wealth in the God Realm, this was the first time he had ever been near a teleportation array. Even if he knew about it before, he never had the thought of using it.

The teleportation array is hexagonal and can accommodate dozens of people at a time. The area is not large, but it is not small either.

What's most surprising isn't the size, but the simplicity of the teleportation array.

The formation was simple and almost useless; what truly made it effective was the special arrangement left behind by a god-king... After all, in this divine realm, only a god-king who had comprehended the laws of space could set up a teleportation array...

Cao Ya sighed inwardly.

Those beings of that caliber would probably only personally set up teleportation arrays in certain cities.

Since Cao Ya had mentioned teleportation arrays before, Qin Yu and Hei Yu examined it carefully and found that it was indeed exactly as Cao Ya had described.

It's too simple!

Yuchi Gonglan and Huangfu Jing were slightly surprised, but they didn't think about it further.

Perhaps they have some kind of lineage or knowledge about this before they even use it.

Qiu Zhongfu might have told them about it.

As a high-ranking deity, Qiu Zhongfu had naturally used the teleportation arrays of various cities many times.

Qiu Zhongfu thought to himself, "Is it strange that someone like my master has such a top-notch lineage?"

Jiang Lanjie's spatial artifact greatly surprised Qiu Zhongfu.

After all, spatial artifacts can only be crafted by god-kings who have comprehended the laws of space. Even the long-lost craftsman, Che Houyuan, whose skills were capable of crafting first-class primordial treasures, could not handle any spatial artifacts.

Therefore, in Qiu Zhongfu's opinion, it's possible that behind Qin Yu stands some kind of god-king.

Judging from Qin Yu's acceptance of the invitation from Dongji Xuanjin Mountain, Qiu Zhongfu believes that Qin Yu's possible master might be a reclusive god-king?

"Once we teleport there, we'll arrive at the foot of Xuanjin Mountain," Yuchi Gonglan said with a smile.

"Why not just teleport directly into the interior of Xuanjin Mountain?" Hei Yu asked, puzzled.

“If we can directly enter Xuanjin Mountain, wouldn’t that mean that as long as we spend some divine stones, even ordinary gods can directly enter Xuanjin Mountain? How can that be?” Huangfu Jing shook her head and said.

As the sole overlord of the eastern region of the divine realm and one of the eight great divine races, Dongji Xuanjin Mountain naturally holds a special position.

Kuroba agreed and nodded.

"Those aren't just some divine stones." Cao Ya thought to himself after hearing Huangfu Jing's words.

His savings wouldn't last long enough to use the teleportation array a few times.

Even for ordinary gods, it was quite a painful expense.

Of course, since Princess Xuanjin Mountain and the City Lord of Yuchi City were both on the move, they didn't have to pay for the teleportation array under the command of Xuanjin Mountain in the East. The responsible deity even came to personally see them off.

Buzz...

The group stepped into the teleportation array, which was activated by a specialist. They felt no fluctuations, only a sudden shift in the space before them. In an instant, they arrived at their destination.

"Haha, Dongji Xuanjin Mountain actually sent Princess Jing and Brother Yuchi to invite Qin Yu?"

"Which one of you is Qin Yu?"

Before they even left the teleportation array, various sounds began to rang out.

It turned out that the other seven divine races and the celestial messengers of the three ascended forces all felt that they could not take advantage of the terrain of the Eastern Pole Xuanjin Mountain first, so they all came down to Xuanjin Mountain to wait and extend an invitation to Qin Yu.

Cao Ya, Hei Yu, and Qiu Zhongfu watched from the sidelines, while Huangfu Jing and Yuchi Gonglan introduced the envoys of the seven great divine races to Qin Yu.

As for the envoys from the three ascended forces, the two were quite indifferent.

"It seems the relationship between the two sides is not very friendly," Kuroba transmitted telepathically.

"Who cares! These are things the God-Kings have to consider," Cao Ya said indifferently.

Even if the eight great divine races are truly a united front, are they really?

Cao Ya looked up, but all he saw was darkness.

Qiu Zhongfu said from the side:

"Although I have never been to Xuanjin Mountain, I have heard that wherever you are below Xuanjin Mountain, it is all darkness."

“Xuanjin Mountain covers an area of ​​nearly 100,000 li. Among the eight holy lands, only the Flaming Mountain in the west and the Forest City in the northeast are larger than it,” Huangfu Jing said with a light laugh.

At this point, Qin Yu had already declined all invitations, and the celestial messengers had no choice but to leave.

In fact, when they saw Huangfu Jing, they already felt that the matter was in jeopardy.

There were no princesses or similar figures among them.

"I've heard that more than half of the gods in the eastern region of the God Realm are cultivating at Xuanjin Mountain," Cao Ya said in a low voice.

"Actually, it's not just that! People like me, who have no hope of further advancement, although they belong to Xuanjin Mountain, don't actually stay here often anymore. The situation of the gods in the other sixty-three cities is mostly similar to mine. If we include us, the proportion would be two or three tenths higher," Yuchi Gonglan said with a smile.

He is a high-ranking deity; the next step forward would be a god-king.

Yuchi Gonglan did not believe he had any hope of becoming a god-king.

“Apart from Lord Yuchi, many of the gods who are not in Xuanjin Mountain either live in seclusion and cultivate diligently, single-mindedly wanting to become God-Kings, or they are like me, who have become bandits,” Qiu Zhongfu said.

The eight great divine races are not only powerful enough to suppress their weaknesses with top-tier Primordial Treasures, nor are they solely due to the emergence of God-King level experts; they also possess over ten thousand Celestial God level experts…

Cao Ya sighed.

Then the group flew into the sky.

The bottom of Xuanjin Mountain is not a solid block, but has many ravines. Under Huangfu Jing's guidance, the group entered one of the tunnels.

After passing through the tunnel, the group walked along a mountain path and flew for quite a while before finally arriving at the only city on Xuanjin Mountain.

“Most of the cave dwellings outside the city are places where the gods cultivate. There are many such scattered cave dwellings on Xuanjin Mountain,” Huangfu Jing said, pointing to the cave dwellings built on the mountainside or cliffs outside the city.

"This city is truly magnificent!" Cao Ya exclaimed. The entire city wall was made of golden ore, and at first glance, it looked as dazzling as a star.

However, unlike the dazzling city walls, the streets inside the city were paved with black stone slabs.

There were very few people in the city, but at a glance, almost all of them were experts at the level of celestial gods, which was indeed quite shocking.

Only a small number of the gods' relatives and friends are at the level of gods or not yet gods.

Moreover, those were all very young relatives and friends.

Generally speaking, the eight great divine races have a rule that those who are not too old can live in the holy city, but those who are too old and have not yet reached the level of a celestial being, even if they are high-level gods, must leave and go to live in one of their own cities.

Cao Ya is a superior god-level being. He was able to enter Xuanjin Mountain because he is Qin Yu's friend.

According to Huangfu Jing and Yuchi Gonglan, Cao Ya will probably have to leave Xuanjin Mountain in a few years.

After living here for a long time, they would naturally know this, so neither of them explained it.

The main issue is that Cao Ya isn't Qin Yu, so they don't need to care too much about him.

He's just a mere high-ranking deity.
