Chapter 227 Teleportation Array
Seeing that the cultivators in the unloading workshop were all rushing towards the slaughterhouse, Ji Rong spread her wings and transformed into a colorful little bird, flying towards the location of the teleportation array.
Arriving at the entrance of the teleportation array, she said to the cultivator guarding the array, "Fellow Daoist, the head of our butchering workshop is dueling with the butcher below. The head of the workshop is afraid of delaying the banquet at Yaochi, so he specially ordered me to bring the slaughtered meat here."
As he spoke, he took out the brand-new bag containing the meat and respectfully handed it to the cultivator.
Upon seeing this, the cultivator said to the other cultivator who was guarding the gate, "You and she go and deliver it, and also tell them that Liao Gang has accepted the duel."
Following the example demonstrated by Gu Qingqing and Ji Zhuang, Ji Rong carried the storage bag with her wings and claws, lowered her head, and ran quickly with small, quick steps.
The azure dragon cultivator ahead, also a King Realm cultivator, grew impatient and said, "Fellow Daoist, let's continue like this once we reach Yaochi, otherwise the meat will get cold before we even get there."
Ji Rong immediately nodded and followed the green-headed dragon cultivator as usual through the passageway. They arrived at the teleportation array, revealed their identities, checked their belongings, and then entered the array.
This teleportation array is a divine inscription array based on a spirit crystal mine. It is composed of countless superimposed divine runes, with golden light flowing around it, giving the space inside the runes a strong sense of detachment.
Ji Rong stared at the inscriptions, examining them closely. She recognized only a few characters before feeling a headache coming on. Knowing she couldn't look any further, she stopped.
The green-headed dragon cultivator instructed her, "This is your first time going back, so stay close to me. We'll leave after we deliver the meat. If you fall behind along the way, I won't look for you."
Ji Rong nodded obediently and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely follow you."
Seeing Ji Rong's obedient appearance, the Green-Headed Dragon handed her a jade stone engraved with divine runes.
The green-headed dragon made Ji Rong hold on tightly with its wing claws, and then the dragon carried Ji Rong into the teleportation array.
Ji Rong entered the inscription array and saw a large, vertical disc resembling a sundial in the center. The green-headed dragon was turning the millstone-like disc in the middle.
As the disc was turned, the faint sound of gears turning could be heard from within. Suddenly, the space inside the inscription seemed to boil like steaming water, enveloping Ji Rong and the Green-Headed Dragon, and they began to move rapidly through the air.
"It's actually an aerial teleportation technique!" Ji Rong exclaimed inwardly.
Her mouth tasted sweet, blood trickled from the corner of her eye, and her mind was in complete chaos.
But Ji Rong was curious, so she tightened her grip on the jade in her hand and tilted her head slightly to look around. She saw golden light streaking across the surroundings like stars.
In a daze, Ji Rong felt as if she were surrounded by a sky full of stars.
But upon closer inspection, she saw that the golden light, like shooting stars, was actually a continuous stream of divine runes.
As long as the spiritual veins are inexhaustible, the divine runes will never perish. These divine runes, attached to the spiritual veins, provide the teleportation array with near-eternal divine power.
The Jade Void Palace and the Golden Cauldron Palace are less than nine thousand miles apart, and they can arrive in just a moment through this teleportation array.
After exiting the teleportation array, the blue-headed dragon led Ji Rong through a blood-stained circular passageway into a small stone room filled with the stench of blood. He led Ji Rong inside and pointed to a large stone basin, saying, "Put the meat in here."
The black cat Xiu Huangzhe, sitting next to the large basin, saw that the meat had been poured out and there was only about half a basin left. He complained, "Why is there so little meat today!"
The green-headed dragon then said to the cat cultivator, "Liao Gang, the head of the Jade Void Palace's unloading workshop, actually agreed to a private duel today. At a time like this, the fact that he still remembered to deliver the meat is already commendable."
The cat nodded and said, "I understand. If he wins, he will have his own benefits; if he loses, then as usual, let the winner come up so we can see."
After handing over the meat, the green-headed dragon didn't linger and quickly led Ji Rong towards the teleportation array.
Having learned from her first experience, Ji Rong was mentally prepared. She focused her mind, gripped the jade in her hand tightly, and turned her head to look at the continuous divine runes, struggling to decipher them: "...like a roc spreading its wings, traveling in the sun..."
As Ji Rong tried to understand, she felt increasingly dizzy. Suddenly, she felt an emptiness inside, her eyes began to roll back, and her body swayed precariously.
"We're here. What are you doing, wandering around? Give me the engraving jade!" the green-headed dragon shouted in Ji Rong's ear.
Ji Rong blankly handed the jade stone in her claws to the green-headed dragon, flapped her wings and walked forward. Just as she was about to touch the wall, Ji Rong turned her head and swayed as she walked away.
This sight made the Azure-Headed Flood Dragon shake his head repeatedly. He said to his colleague beside him, "How strange! Today I actually saw a bird cultivator who had become a king being dizzy in the teleportation array."
Her colleague, who was also a dragon cultivator, replied with great interest, "Perhaps she was born with a disability and didn't know it in the past. After all, not everyone can ride a teleportation array."
"That's true."
"That's right!"
...These words immediately gained the approval of many of the surrounding guardian cultivators.
Ji Rong, having exited the teleportation array, sat on the ground, gulping down spiritual energy.
After a long while, as her spiritual energy recovered somewhat, Ji Rong's mind gradually cleared. She suddenly heard a noisy sound of weapons being struck outside. She shook her head and remembered that Shan Wu and Liao Gang were dueling. She wondered how they were doing now.
Ji Rong immediately flapped her wings and ran towards the slaughterhouse. When she flew onto the roof and squeezed next to Ying Shiyi to look inside, the battle between Shan Wu and Liao Gang was already coming to an end.
Liao Gang's two hooves, which gripped the sword, were a bloody mess, and the curved blades he held tightly in those hooves had lost their tips. Three of his four protruding teeth were broken, and his body was covered in crisscrossing wounds.
Liao Gang lay helplessly on the ground, allowing Shan Wuzi, who was also covered in wounds, to pull out a small knife from the three broken blades and plunge it into Liao Gang's brow, heart, and neck.
He stared at Ji Rong on the roof, his gaze becoming unfocused. As a butcher, he seemed to have lived his entire life around the chopping board, never thinking of going outside to see what was going on. Now, thinking about it, it was truly a pity.
As the Earth Emperor Liao Gang breathed his last, a wind arose in the sky, carrying earth and stones that wailed in the air, creating swirling vortexes to mark Liao Gang's passing.
In the crooked, nearly collapsing slaughterhouse, held together only by a tattered array, Shan Wu pulled out the Dao Pill from the skinned pig Liao Gang, sniffed it, and this time, this Dao Pill, which had also cultivated blood magic, became a delicacy in his eyes.
He stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it vigorously. The pill was like a juicy fruit, and the rich, sweet, and slightly bloody taste filled Shan Wu's mouth.
Shan Wu circulated the "Spirit Refining Scripture," and chains of spiritual energy emerged from his spiritual platform, breaking down the blood energy. The turbid energy was expelled from his body with each breath, leaving behind the pure essence of blood.
As the foul air dissipated, Shan Wu's injuries healed more quickly. Ji Rong slid down from the rooftop, flapping her wings as she landed beside Shan Wu, shouting, "Uncle is mighty! Shan Wu is mighty!" She then used her feathers as cover to hand Shan Wu a pill through her wing claws.
Shan Wu swallowed the pill in one gulp, and then shouted boldly, "Nephew, I'm doing very well. Your sword works very well with the blood technique. Even if another Liao Gang comes, I can still cut him down."
