Chapter 1001: Chapter 549: Classification of Teleportation Arrays (Monthly Ticket Bonus 4) Chapter 1001: Chapter 549: Classification of Teleportation Arrays (Monthly Ticket Bonus 4) On the day of departure, Chen Mobai opened his eyes in his wooden hut, and the semi-transparent skeletons swirling around him slowly faded away.
Glancing at the dry Void Stone in his palm, Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction.
Due to the lack of Green Wood Evil, he could only pause his cultivation of the Golden Flame temporarily.
After the routine cultivation of the Pure Yang Scroll, Pure Yang Daoist Body, and the Precious Golden Light, and with the Longevity Dew not yet refined, he devoted the remaining time to the cultivation of the All Laws Persona.
After becoming the Sect Leader, this was the perk–he could exchange for any resource available within the sect using contribution points.
The price of the Void Stone was roughly equivalent to that of a Rank-3 Life Stone, about three thousand five hundred Spirit Stones. As Sect Leader, Chen Mobai could exchange three pieces for ten thousand sect contribution points at a slight discount.
Having surmounted the Core Formation realm, Chen Mobai’s account had long since surpassed a million contribution points, so exchanging for Void Stones didn’t even make him blink; he directly exchanged for ninety-nine pieces.
He did not exchange for more, not because he did not want to, but because there were only a hundred pieces in stock in the sect’s treasury.
However, he was not worried about running out of Void Stones, since the Void Mysterious Stone Mine at Lonely Spirit Ridge was conservatively estimated to be exploitable for another decade or so.
He had also instructed Luo Xue’er to set aside the Void Stones yielded from this year’s Spirit Vein Division for him. By then, he estimated that besides the spine, he might be able to condense the entire skeletal network of the All Laws Persona with the Void Stones.
If there were any surplus upon completing the All Laws Persona, they could also be used to elevate his own Golden Core Domain.
While mulling over his cultivation matters, he put the dried-up Void Stone into the storage bag designated for trash and rose from his wooden hut.
As he opened the door and stepped onto the ground, he found that Gu Yan was already waiting there.
Zhuo Ming was present, too.
Today, Chen Mobai was set to lead a team from the Divine Wood Sect to visit the Snow-blowing Palace in Snow Country, and as his disciple, Zhuo Ming naturally came to see him off.
When they arrived at the Teleportation Array at Giant Tree Ridge, Chen Mobai noticed that the rest of the team had already gathered.
In addition to Mu Yuan, Yin Qingmei, Xi Jinghuo, and Li Yixian, confirmed the previous day, there were others pushed in by the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions.
However, many were just True Disciples, and among the Foundation Establishment Practitioners were only Lian Maozhi, Jiang Zongheng, and Ding Ying.
When Chen Mobai approached, Ding Ying hardly dared to breathe; she did not wish to come, but Cao Lian, the head of the Talisman Making Department, had chosen her.
Although Ding Ying had the right to refuse, she dared not.
It wasn’t that she was afraid of defying Cao Lian–who, although in a high and powerful position, was not as significant as the fact Ding Ying was now a Foundation Establishment Practitioner and could secure cultivation resources with her excellent talisman-making skills, even if she left the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions.
The main reason was that she knew refusing to join the team visiting the East Wilderness Major Sect under the opportunity presented would make many feel that she did not respect Elder Chen.
Even if Chen Mobai was magnanimous, others might henceforth be wary of her, or even avoid associating with her.
Having learned that troubles with the young are hard to deal with during her more than thirty years in the Talisman Making Department, Ding Ying was all too aware of this.
She suspected that Cao Lian was hoping for her to refuse so she could be portrayed as someone who opposed Elder Chen.
The reason why Cao Lian targeted Ding Ying was very clear to her; it was because Ding Ying had offended both Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming when she was an ignorant Qi Cultivation practitioner.
In the past, it didn’t amount to much, but after Chen Mobai’s Core Formation, those incidents became a thorn in Cao Lian’s side. Fearing that Ding Ying would bring trouble upon her, Cao Lian had always been plotting to drive her out of the department; this time it was an open scheme.
After mulling it over, Ding Ying, despite seeing through the ploy, had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree.
For if she refused, she would find it difficult to progress in the Divine Wood Sect.
Yet, by going, she felt that a figure as astonishing as Chen Mobai would surely be true to his word, and since he had said past grievances were settled, they were certainly settled.
Sure enough, when Chen Mobai arrived, he smiled at each of them, and his gaze didn’t linger intentionally when he saw Ding Ying; he greeted everyone equally.
“Mu, since you established your Foundation first, you will be in charge of commanding them,” Chen Mobai designated the second-in-command of the team, and Mu Yuan nodded in acknowledgement.
There were 18 people waiting there in total, 7 at Foundation Establishment and 11 True Disciples at Qi Cultivation level. Mu Yuan did not count Gu Yan, who was with Chen Mobai, even considering her the real second-in-command of the team, given her status as the close associate of the Elder.
Before they left, Chen Mobai finished speaking with Yue Zutao and others, then turned to Zhuo Ming and admonished, “It will be hard on you with Xiao Nanshan and the Longevity Wood Dojo.”
In Tianhe Realm, disciples are oftentimes closer than sons and daughters. When the master travels far, the disciple left behind to guard the home is usually the designated heir.
But Chen Mobai had more than once publicly acknowledged that Zhuo Ming was like a child to him.
Everyone in the Divine Wood Sect knew that Zhuo Ming was the most valued and cherished disciple of Chen Mobai.
After the master and disciple finished speaking, the light from the Teleportation Array began to grow bright.
Having just cultivated the All Laws Persona with the Void Stone, Chen Mobai was in an exceptionally sensitive phase towards the Power of Void and felt an indescribable harmony during the transmission.
Amid the flashing silver light, they had already teleported to Yuhu Market.
In the Tianhe Realm, Teleportation Arrays are divided into small, medium, and large scales.
Of this, the vast majority employed are small Teleportation Arrays, with a range that allows for connectivity between markets within a single nation.
“`
But even so, the minimum cost of setting up a Small Teleportation Array is at least one hundred thousand Spirit Stones. Plus, the subsequent activation and maintenance, as well as the replacement of Spirit Stones and Void Stones, make it quite costly.
In the Eastern Wilderness, only those cultivator families who own a Teleportation Array are considered to have real status, as this means they have the ability to escape at any moment, ensuring high levels of safety.
As for the Medium Transmission Formation, it can cross between nations, and in the entire Eastern Wilderness there were only two, both set up during the time of Ancestor Hunyuan.
One is located in the Hunyuan Immortal City, and the other in Wind Rain Hamlet within Cloud Dream Ze.
Together, these two covered all the territories of the now-gone Five Elements Sect, allowing travel across half of the Eastern Wilderness in an instant.
The cost for each Medium Transporting Formation is over one million Spirit Stones, and every teleportation consumes a whole Void Stone, so they are generally not activated unless absolutely necessary.
As for the Large-scale Transmission Array, it’s almost mythical in the Eastern Wilderness, able to cross between domains, with the only known one being located at the Sun Bathing Sea of the East Barbarians.
Therefore, whenever the Star Heaven Dao Sect of East Yu sends their commerce delegation, they always appear at the Golden Crow Immortal City, as it is connected by a Large-scale Transmission Array, saving a lot of time.
Chen Mobai contemplated setting up a Medium Transporting Formation for the Divine Wood Sect during his term to ensure that in the event of war, Giant Tree Ridge could quickly reach Rock Country.
However, in the Tianhe Realm, such arrays are monopolized by the major sects.
The Divine Wood Sect doesn’t have the capability to set up its own arrays, and its Small Teleportation Arrays had all been purchased during commerce guild auctions.
The two Medium Transmission Formations of the Five Elements Sect were also set up by high-level experts from the Starry Sky Commerce Guild, courtesy of the favor of Baiwu Ancestor from the Sun Bathing Sea.
If one wanted to set up a Medium Transporting Formation for the Divine Wood Sect, there was simply no way to do so within the Eastern Wilderness.
Above these three types, it is said that there is an even larger type of Teleportation Array that can cross the entirety of the six domains of East Land, and even transport outside the borders of East Land. However, only the Holy Lands, which control the entire East Yu, possess such a foundation; not even the Star Heaven Dao Sect has it.
At Yuhu Market, Fu Xiuzuo, the head of the Fu family, has already arrived with several others to wait here.
Chen Mobai did not linger and after exchanging a few words with Fu Xiuzuo, he gave the signal to activate the Teleportation Array again.
After several successive teleports, they arrived at the White Moon Market.
Past there lies Snow Country.
Bai Dingxian was waiting for them at the Teleportation Array with his clan members. Besides him, there was another person familiar to Chen Mobai.
It was Xue Ting.
She was in charge of welcoming them, since they were about to enter the territory of the Snow-blowing Palace.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Bai Dingxian, Chen Mobai teleported again in the company of Xue Ting.
“Sect Master Chen’s personal visit truly brings honor and glory to our sect!”
In Snow Country, another of Chen Mobai’s acquaintances was already waiting with two teams of graceful, fair-skinned female cultivators from the Snow-blowing Palace.
“It’s been a while, Elder Lan still looks as young and beautiful as ever,” said Chen Mobai with a smile to Lan Lingping, who modestly welcomed him out of the Teleportation Array. The female cultivators from the Snow-blowing Palace were also dutifully attending to everyone in Mu Yuan’s group to ensure each person received a proper welcome.
“Since True Person Kong is at a crucial moment in her cultivation, I won’t disturb her,” Chen Mobai said after being escorted to the Snow-blowing Palace and discussing with Sect Leader Zhu Jinyu a while, expressing his regret upon learning Kong Lingling was in seclusion.
However, his main aim had been to visit the Five Elements Sect, so stopping by the Snow-blowing Palace was merely incidental.
It was even better that Kong Lingling wasn’t appearing, as it saved him the dilemma of having to deal with future conflicts much less awkwardly.
Thinking thus, Chen Mobai nonetheless maintained his outward cordiality.
Over the next few days, he discussed the ongoing border disputes with Zhu Jinyu. These issues had led to several wars between Jian Country and Snow Country, the secular dynasties involved.
Although Divine Wood Sect and Snow-blowing Palace never officially entered the battlefield, they did invite numerous disciples to aid in the struggle, and for decades there had been continuous skirmishes along the border.
For the true disciples of both sects, it was a way to make a name for themselves. Dominating the opposition would instantly make one famous across half of the Eastern Wilderness.
In the past, before Hong He became a true disciple, he had defeated twelve true disciples from the Snow-blowing Palace on the border of Jian Country and Snow Country, ultimately even drawing out Bai Cai, the youngest disciple of Kong Lingling, who could only barely manage a stalemate.
As a result, Hong He’s fame soared, and after becoming the foremost true disciple of the Divine Wood Sect, he was named alongside the other four as the Five Colored Immortals of the Eastern Wilderness.
Unfortunately, Ji Dao Yuan from Shake Mountain Peak had just achieved Foundation Establishment when he met Chen Mobai and was killed by a single sword strike.
Huangfu Gan of Liu Jia Mountain failed in his Foundation Establishment, growing despondent, and now spends his days drowning in alcohol, becoming a shell of his former self.
The once-celebrated Five Colored Immortals of the Eastern Wilderness now dwindled to merely three.
It remains to be seen whether any will achieve Core Formation.
As Chen Mobai pondered this, his gaze fell upon a strikingly beautiful young girl next to Zhu Jinyu, with naturally arched brows, unadorned beauty, and a cascade of blue hair falling smoothly down her perfect back to her waist, accentuating her tall figure and long legs.
She was none other than Bai Cai, whose clear eyes were also fixed on Chen Mobai.
