Chapter 302 Teleportation Array

Azure Dragon spoke with all the Qi Refining stage cultivators and gave the following instructions:

"Bear, have Black Hawk escort them away, then come back. I have something to tell you."

"Yes, ma'am."

Xiong Ba stepped out of the cave and conveyed the Azure Dragon's order.

Black Hawk bared his teeth, "More hard labor ahead!"

He leaped lightly upwards, billowing black smoke.

When the smoke cleared, it had transformed into a giant eagle.

Powerful claws grabbed two people, and the demonic wind emanating from its body swept up six more people, rising into the sky like a dark cloud and drifting into the distance, quickly turning into a black dot.

He was able to use magical artifacts like flying boats, but he preferred this kind of unrestrained flight.

Xiong Ba withdrew his gaze and turned back to his cave.

Azure Dragon said calmly:

"The three sects have been operating in the Western Continent for many years. We cannot give them a chance to breathe. Otherwise, the order in the Western Continent will be re-established, and it will be much more difficult for us to take advantage of the chaos to establish the Heavenly Demon Alliance."

Our next step is to continue spreading demonic cultivation techniques, causing human cultivators to kill each other and keeping all sects busy.

"Those families that have become demon cultivators should not be used for now; they still have a great use."

Despite the strength and ferocity of the three sects in the war, the demonic beasts achieved little of real success.

The only Golden Core cultivator to die in the Western Zhou since the start of the war was indirectly killed by him through a sneak attack.

Even if he were a demon cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core stage, he would be powerless against the encirclement and suppression of numerous Golden Core cultivators from the Western Continent.

Therefore, Qinglong's plan is to play the long game, using a slow and gradual approach to deplete the potential of various sects and the Western Continent.

The foundation for the existence of each sect is the continuous replenishment of outstanding disciples. These disciples come from various cultivation families and outstanding independent cultivators. His plan can be described as a strategy to wipe out the entire lineage.

"In addition, you must continue to abduct mortals and raise them. The development of the Heavenly Demon Alliance also requires a constant stream of new blood."

At the same time, we must continue to send Qi Refining stage Heavenly Demon Alliance cultivators to Yuanhe Mountain, slowly infiltrating the sect and ultimately dismantling it.

Xiong Ba scratched his head, revealing a clear yet foolish look in his eyes:

"My lord, I feel that this method is simply incapable of dismantling a Golden Core sect."

Leaving aside the fact that the number of Qi Refining stage demon cultivators sent over only accounts for a small portion, as these demon cultivators continue to grow, they will inevitably come into contact with the higher-ups of the sect.

At that time, the danger of exposure will increase significantly.

How could a sect with a history spanning thousands of years be careless in matters of inheritance?

Azure Dragon chuckled softly, his open mouth resembling an endless abyss:

“A direct collapse is impossible; what I want to do is delay the development of Yuanhe Mountain.”

Once these demon cultivators who entered the sect reached the Foundation Establishment stage, they were ordered to work in various miscellaneous departments.

Finding an opportunity to kill those low-level disciples overnight would delay their development for decades.

As time went on, it became increasingly difficult for each sect to recruit disciples from outside; they couldn't sustain this for long.

Qinglong knew that of the two Golden Core cultivators of Yuanhe Mountain, Beichen Zhenren's lifespan was less than one hundred years, while Nanshan Zhenren's lifespan was only two hundred years.

Yuanhe Mountain Society will do its best to cultivate new Golden Core cultivators, and will pay much less attention to Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining disciples.

He has many plans he hasn't revealed yet, and he will personally step in to suppress Yuan Heshan when the time comes.

As for why Yuanhe Mountain was chosen as the main target, it was because they suffered the heaviest casualties and were the weakest in the war.

Adding fuel to the fire, even if it doesn't extinguish its lineage, will weaken it further.

The three sects share a common destiny and are based on their comparable strength.

If a weak 'patient' appears, the original balance will be broken.

At that time, the other two sects will inevitably have different thoughts.

Chu Huaige's magical artifact was very special, resembling an array plate with five colors flashing on it: red, yellow, white, black, and blue.

As it flew away, the magical artifact emitted a stream of air that resembled five-colored ribbons.

He had a thin face, with a few strands of black beard floating on his chest, and his gaze was calm and deep, as if he were pondering something.

Ji An was piloting his flying shuttle, hovering on the east side of Crimson Flame Peak. He saw the dazzling five-colored light flying towards him and immediately controlled his magical artifact to meet it.

When the two met, he bowed respectfully and smiled gently:

"Is the person who came here Senior Brother Chu Huaige? I am Ji An. Greetings."

Yesterday, his master sent him a message via the golden sword, informing him that the teleportation array at Ningcui Cliff had been completed and that Chu Huaige would come to Chiyan Peak at Chenshi (7-9 AM) today to build the array.

Chu Huaige returned the greeting with a cupped hand and smiled kindly:

"I was ordered to leave the sect a few days ago and missed my junior brother's celebration of the founding of the dynasty. Please forgive me."

As he spoke, he took out a wooden box, activated his telekinesis technique to send it out, and said:

"I've heard that you enjoy collecting rare and precious spiritual seeds, so I have a second-grade, low-level Bodhi tree seed here as a congratulatory gift!"

This new junior brother is so young yet he has already reached the ranks of the Chaoyuan stage cultivators; he is worth getting to know.

Ji An took the box, opened it, and saw a finger-sized oval seed lying quietly on the red silk.

The seed's surface was smooth, displaying a dark, jade-like luster. He probed into it with his divine sense and immediately felt a tranquil aura rising within him.

"What my senior brother gave me is exactly what I urgently needed. I gladly accept it."

Once I have cultivated the Bodhi tree to the second level, I will definitely send my fellow disciple some Bodhi fruits and leaves every year.

Ji An solemnly made a promise. It is said that the Bodhi tree was not originally a sacred plant of this continent. It was brought from another continent by Buddhist monks and regarded as a sacred tree, symbolizing wisdom and enlightenment.

Bodhi leaves and Bodhi fruits have a strong calming effect and can temporarily enhance enlightenment, making them a low-end version of enlightenment tea.

This kind of spiritual plant is extremely rare in the Western Continent. It is said that there is only one thousand-year-old Bodhi tree in Falling Wind Valley, which has reached the second-grade superior level.

"Haha, junior brother, you're too kind."

Chu Huaige stroked his beard and laughed, "Only when such a spiritual seed is in the hands of my junior brother can it play its greatest role."

He had only recently acquired this spirit seed and originally intended to offer it to the sect, but upon hearing that a spirit farmer in the sect had broken through to the Chaoyuan stage, he kept it as a congratulatory gift.

Chu Huaige gave this junior brother a careful look, marveling at him inwardly.

In his memory, the other party was not well-known, so he was very curious about the sudden news of his breakthrough.

Ji An smiled and extended his hand, saying:

"Senior brother, you flatter me. Haha, I'm sorry for the neglect. Please come into Crimson Flame Peak to talk."

I have already instructed my disciples to prepare lunch; we can begin the meal after we've had a short chat.

Chu Huaige waved his hand and said:

"Let's go to the place where we plan to set up the teleportation array first, so we can scout it out."

"We'll have a proper chat after the teleportation array is completed."

Ji An nodded slightly and said:

"The location for setting up the magic array is at the foot of the mountain. I'll take my senior brother there."

Two days ago, he ordered people to carve out a stone house next to Dahuang's cave, so that anyone teleported there would be identified by Dahuang.

At the same time, he set up a sealing array outside the stone house. If the people who were teleported here could not break the seal, they could only enter Crimson Flame Peak by brute force.

Even within the sect, he maintained a cautious and prudent approach.

The two entered the protective array of Crimson Flame Peak and landed at the foot of the mountain near the Cold Pool.

Chu Huaige carefully examined the area and nodded slightly:

“That’s right, there’s a miniature spiritual vein node beneath the location my junior brother chose.”

"The teleportation array will be very stable here, reducing my maintenance costs."

Unlike mountain-protecting arrays that rely on the earth's veins, teleportation arrays require testing and maintenance once a certain number of teleportations have been performed.

He took out various materials from his storage bag and placed them on the ground, saying:

"I'm going to start setting up the magic array framework. Junior brother, go ahead and do your work. You don't need to stay here."

He paused, then smiled and said:

"Remember to call me for lunch. I'm really looking forward to it after hearing other senior students talk about how plentiful the food is during the celebration."

"Just serve them some spiritual tea; they can ask their junior brother for wine after the magic array is completed."

"Alright, let's drink and chat after the magic array is completed."

I'll wait outside. Please feel free to call me anytime if you need help.

Ji An developed a very good impression of this senior brother; he was a down-to-earth person.

He turned and left, sat down cross-legged at the entrance of the big yellow bird's cave, took out the jade slip of the Azure Dragon Awakening Technique, probed it with his divine sense, opened it with the key, and then stuck it to his forehead.

The descriptions of the spells of the Chaoyuan period are all profound and subtle. Studying them carefully will help you practice them to their fullest potential more quickly.

Lunch consisted of four dishes and a soup, followed by a second-grade, mid-level Yunding Silver Needle tea.

Chu Huaige swallowed the spiritual tea, feeling a lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth, and a refreshing coolness spreading through his mind.

"Judging from this meal, Junior Brother is living the life of a god!"

The spiritual food is delicious and visually appealing, containing abundant spiritual energy. After refining it, it should be equivalent to half an hour of meditation.

The supply of elixirs for cultivators in the Chaoyuan stage is relatively scarce, so spiritual food can be a good supplement.

He sighed inwardly, thinking that perhaps the Spirit Farming technique was the most promising cultivation method.

Of course, all of this is based on having superb planting techniques; otherwise, one can only maintain cultivation.

He also learned about the situation at Crimson Flame Peak from his other senior brothers. It was something that a different spirit farmer could never have achieved, managing to make it prosperous in just a few decades.

Ji An smiled and said, "I'm very fortunate that I was able to grasp some of the essence of magic relatively quickly, which is why all my efforts have finally paid off."

"It must be that my junior brother has exceptional comprehension from birth, which is actually equivalent to having special talent."

In some ways, such talent is even more valuable than the aptitude of an earth-elemental root.

A hint of envy flashed in Chu Huaige's eyes. A cultivator's aptitude can improve with the advancement of their cultivation level, but the improvement of their comprehension is much slower.

A cultivator with high comprehension will be able to demonstrate their potential for future growth as their cultivation level increases.

However, cultivators do not have a direct means to improve their comprehension; they all indirectly improve it by increasing the strength of their divine soul.

Ji An nodded slightly and said:

"Fortunately, otherwise, with my mid-grade aptitude, I'm afraid my cultivation would have ended at the Foundation Establishment stage."

He tacitly acknowledged the fact that he had high comprehension, which was also the persona he had cultivated for himself as a magical genius.

After chatting for a while, Chu Huaige stood up:

"The situation here is different from that of Ningcui Cliff. We need to speed up the construction of the teleportation array, otherwise it won't be completed by tomorrow."

"Thank you for your trouble, senior brother."

"Of course, the sect has done a small favor in building this teleportation array."

After saying that, Chu Huaige walked towards the stone house at the foot of the mountain.

Ji An instructed:

"Songtao, you and Tiezhu go to the tea trees and clear out a space."

After you finish your work, wait outside the stone house. If you encounter any problems you cannot solve, come to my cave.

"Okay," Wei Songtao replied, and jogged away.

Ji An then said:

"Cuihua, every hour, bring some tea to the stone house."

Additionally, place one mid-grade second-tier spirit peach and two dragon blood fruits into the gift box, and then take out a jar of mid-grade second-tier spirit wine.

He was very pleased with the congratulatory gift from the other party, so he prepared a nice return gift.

The next day, at 5 PM.

Ji An stood in the stone house, watching quietly. The teleportation array had been built and was now being tested.

Chu Huaige took out a black iron cage the size of a human head, and then took out a rat from the spirit beast bag.

"This is just a Qi Refining Level 1 Earth Rock Rat. The straight-line distance between Crimson Flame Peak and Emerald Cliff is only a little over 600 miles. Theoretically, this little thing won't be injured during the teleportation process."

As he spoke, he put the monster into a cage, where the little mouse jumped around frantically.

The teleportation array was activated, and a hazy, translucent silver light flashed by. The array twisted, and the cage disappeared.

Chu Huaige clapped his hands and laughed:

"At noon, I used the golden sword to notify Ge Ying and asked her to wait on the other side."

Regardless of whether the demon rat is harmed or not, she will teleport the cage back.

"Junior brother, please wait a moment."

Ji An nodded and smiled:

"The method of teleportation is truly amazing. I wonder how our predecessors created it."

"What is the principle behind this magic array? Could you please enlighten me, senior brother?"

To traverse directly without regard to spatial distance must contain supreme laws.

Chu Huaige shook his head and chuckled:

"Junior brother overestimates me. The mysteries involved are beyond the comprehension of cultivators in the Chaoyuan stage."

All I can do is take the achievements of my predecessors and apply them by imitation.

For example, the storage bag we see most often is an application of the laws of space, but no cultivator in the sect dares to say that they have comprehended the principles within these restrictions.

Even the patriarch himself didn't fully understand this.

In the world of cultivation, there are many seemingly ordinary little things, but the laws involved are only those of great cultivators who are qualified to comprehend them.

Those top-tier demonic beasts all possess bloodline inheritance, integrating their clan's cultivation methods and knowledge into their bloodline. When their offspring reach a certain level, they can naturally comprehend these.

Humans do not have such convenient means; they rely entirely on the accumulation of generations to raise the limits of human capabilities.

In ancient times, humans were the prey of monsters, but now the power of humans firmly suppresses the monster race.

As the two were talking, the magic circle flashed again, and when the distortion of space dissipated, an iron cage appeared out of thin air.

The rock rat looked listless, and blood was flowing from its mouth.

Chu Huaige took out the demonic beast, examined its injuries, and then laughed:

"It's nothing serious, just some minor internal injuries caused by the compression of spatial forces."

He handed the demonic beast over, saying, "Junior brother, take a look."

Ji An took the beast and probed its wounds with his divine sense. He found that the damage was caused by the vibration of the internal organs, and it was indeed very minor.

A monster at the first level of Qi Refining can travel back and forth; there are no safety issues.
