Chapter 270: The Great Teleportation Token and the Ancient Teleportation Array

~10 min read 1,976 words

Han Li had never heard the name "Great Teleportation Token" before! But seeing Lu Lu Tianmeng and Xuan Le not hesitate to kill others for it, one could tell how precious this item was.

However, facing the eerie posture of the five-colored skeleton, Han Li dared not act rashly.

He took out a golden blade and carefully touched the skeleton. Seeing there was no reaction, he then felt relieved enough to walk closer and carefully examine this token.

The token was a brilliant blue, radiating a faint, lustrous glow. Judging from the archaic patterns and the ancient characters inscribed on it, it was clearly an item from the ancient era. In other respects, Han Li did not sense anything unusual, and the spiritual power it contained was not very high.

Han Li thought for a moment, then used the golden blade in his hand to reach out and gently flick it; the token easily landed in his hand.

After pinching it with his fingers, it was not the metallic texture he had imagined; instead, it was somewhat soft yet firm, as if it were made of some kind of wood.

Han Li played with it for a while, then attempted to inject some spiritual power into it.

But immediately, a massive suction force came from the token, causing a large amount of spiritual power in his body to escape. Frightened, Han Li hurriedly cut off the supply of spiritual power, which caused the suction to disappear.

Having suffered a setback, Han Li dared not try again recklessly and carefully put the token into his storage bag.

Then, he circled the unknown teleportation array several times, feeling extremely curious about where this teleportation array could lead!

Of course, Han Li would not rashly go up and try it. Moreover, even if he were truly foolish enough to have such an idea, he would be unable to do so. Because one corner of the teleportation array was already damaged; although it wasn't damaged much, it was enough to make the teleportation array unusable.

Han Li blinked his eyes and suddenly took out a jade slip, beginning to copy the style and patterns of the teleportation array, preparing to find some people to see if this teleportation array could still be repaired. He was full of anticipation for this!

After finishing all this, Han Li searched around the giant cave again to see if there were any other items left behind.

As a result, behind a thick stone pillar, he discovered two crystal-clear, transparent round eggs, each the size of a fist.

Upon seeing them, Han Li was pleasantly surprised. Without guessing, he knew they were the eggs of that spider demonic beast.

Han Li had personally experienced the power of this spider demonic beast. Having such an opportunity, how could he let it slip by? He immediately found a leather bag specifically for holding spirit beasts from the storage bag of a Spirit Beast Mountain cultivator, carefully collected the spider eggs into the bag, and then tucked it into his waist.

With this harvest, Han Li searched the remaining places even more diligently, but unfortunately, he found nothing else.

However, Han Li, who was already satisfied, didn't mind.

He returned to the white spider's corpse, unceremoniously dismembered it, and collected the parts into his storage bag. Then, he used fireballs to turn the corpses of Xuan Le, Lu Lu Tianmeng, and the others into ashes and buried them on the spot.

When he saw the five-colored skeleton, Han Li also casually threw several small fireballs at it, preparing to burn it all away. As a result, after the fierce fire melted it, the skeleton actually condensed seven or eight five-colored small beads. This surprised Han Li, and he curiously collected them.

Han Li was about to leave this place, but to prevent the teleportation array from being discovered by others, he simply swept the cave entrance into a mess with his Cyan Origin Sword Ray when he left, completely blocking the entrance. Of course, he still left some secret marks nearby so he could find this place again later.

Afterward, Han Li followed the direction of the wind in the stalactite cave, and after several hours, he found an extremely hidden exit and finally stepped onto the surface.

Because he was afraid that the group of demonic path people were still wandering nearby, Han Li did not dare to delay in the slightest and steered the Spirit Wind Boat to fly toward Mount Taiyue.

Because the journey was uneventful!

Seven or eight days later, Han Li returned to Huang Feng Valley. After recounting a simplified version of his encounter to the sect's duty manager, he returned to his own cave dwelling to await orders.

At this time, he also learned that the second major battle had already begun. Moreover, in the early stages, with the strong support of the other two nations, the Seven Sects seemed to have the upper hand against the Six Sects, which made the atmosphere within Huang Feng Valley much more relaxed, no longer as pessimistic as when the war first started.

After returning, looking at everything in the cave dwelling as it was, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Although returning to the sect now was not a wise move, and there was a high probability of being conscripted, the Seven Sects were currently very strict in punishing disciples who shirked battle or used excuses to avoid mission conscription. The light punishment was a fine of spirit stones, and the heavy punishment was the abolition of magic power; they were completely merciless on this point!

Moreover, it was said that nearly a hundred people within the Seven Sects had already suffered punishments of varying severity.

As for whether there were any actions of avoiding battle, it was required that disciples without missions and those who had completed missions must report back to the sect within the stipulated time! If they did not provide a reason and failed to return on time, they would be judged as punishable.

Of course, if one simply hid and stopped appearing, or fled directly to another nation, the consequences would be even more terrifying; they would face a lifelong pursuit by the Seven Sects' law enforcement teams. As long as the Seven Sects existed for one day, the pursuit would not stop.

Han Li did not want to leave Huang Feng Valley and flee Yue Kingdom at this time, so naturally, he had to honestly return and listen to orders.

In fact, according to his estimation, with the simultaneous expansion of the demonic path and the righteous path, where else in the entire Tiannan region would there be a peaceful place? The cultivation worlds everywhere would be drawn into the struggle; it was just a matter of sooner or later. Since that was the case, it was better to stay in Yue Kingdom; after all, it was hard to leave one's homeland!

The first thing Han Li did upon returning to the cave dwelling was to soak the spider eggs in the Spirit Eye Spring, letting the spiritual energy slowly nourish their hatching.

Then he hurriedly went into seclusion for two days and finally succeeded in practicing the first layer of the Great Expansion Art. Whether it was a coincidence or not, the Cyan Origin Sword Art, which had not made progress for a long time, simultaneously broke through to the fifth layer, allowing Han Li to step into the level of Foundation Establishment mid-stage.

Seeing this, Han Li was overjoyed! After all, at this time, every bit of increase in his cultivation base meant a slightly greater hope of survival in the turmoil.

But what made Han Li strange was that after returning for several days, the sect still hadn't assigned him any missions, which made Han Li feel a bit uneasy!

According to his experience, the more abnormal things were, the more they represented trouble and danger.

But Han Li thought again, what safe missions were there now while fighting the Six Sects? Even guarding a spirit stone mine would almost cost one's life, so what mission it was didn't matter!

After thinking this through, Han Li regained his peaceful state of mind. And taking advantage of this short time, he began to search for what exactly this "Great Teleportation Token" was.

As for his master Li Li Huayuan and Master Hongfu, there was no need to report the matter of Dong Dong Xuaner, because as Core Formation stage cultivators, they already had missions and were not in the sect.

In the Heaven-Knowing Pavilion of Huang Feng Valley, after two days of searching everywhere, Han Li finally found a brief introduction to the "Great Teleportation Token" in a book called "Dong Xuan Explanation".

According to the book, this brilliant blue token was actually a magic tool that ancient cultivators had to possess when performing ultra-long-distance teleportation; otherwise, the safety of the teleportation could not be guaranteed.

Only by possessing the "Great Teleportation Token" would ancient cultivators not be crushed to death by the spatial pressure formed during teleportation due to the excessive distance. As for short-distance teleportation, the spatial pressure could naturally be ignored; just like the small teleportation array inside and outside the Yuelu Hall, Han Li hadn't felt the slightest impropriety.

As for how the Great Teleportation Token guaranteed the safety of the teleportee, the book didn't say. Moreover, the method of making the "Great Teleportation Token" had long been lost in the distant turmoil of the cultivation world. The existing "Great Teleportation Tokens" had also disappeared one by one, and by today, they had become legendary items; he had never heard of anyone holding such an item.

However, this was also a matter of no consequence to the current cultivation world!

Because ancient teleportation arrays had become legendary things even earlier than the "Great Teleportation Token". He didn't know about other places, but in this Tiannan region, one couldn't see a single one on the surface. As for whether any still existed in some inaccessible place, or in the secret grounds of some sect or family, that was hard to say.

But the longest teleportation array that the current cultivation world could build was only a hundred miles or so, which could not be compared at all with the ancient teleportation arrays calculated in thousands of miles. But even so, the expensive cost of a teleportation array meant that even a sect or faction would have at most three or four, and having more would make them feel a great deal of heartache.

After Han Li figured out the purpose of the Great Teleportation Token, the first thought in his mind was, "Could that underground teleportation array be an ancient teleportation array?"

This guess made Han Li's heart thump wildly! He knew the possibility was extremely high.

If that were the case, with this Great Teleportation Token, and after repairing that teleportation array, wouldn't he be able to immediately reach a place at least thousands of miles away? He wouldn't need to wade through this muddy water between the Seven Sects and the Six Sects anymore; he could go to a new place and continue his own cultivation.

Once this idea arose, Han Li could no longer restrain himself!

He began to search for books related to ancient teleportation arrays to see if he could find a way to repair that underground teleportation array.

Han Li stayed in the Heaven-Knowing Pavilion, which had a vast collection of books, for several more days. Although he read many books on arrays, he didn't find any information about ancient teleportation arrays at all.

This made Han Li extremely disappointed!

At this time, Han Li remembered that there was one person who might be able to help him repair this array.
