Chapter 1119
"Huh?" Xinran Zhanglao stared in shock at Qinglong Daoren, blinked, and asked: "In other words, you need two identical transmission devices to link them?"
"Not bad; with just one transmission device, it's impossible." Qinglong Daoren explained: "I can let you go in and try it, see where it sends you—location unknown—and also determine whether you can reach our world."
The transmission device can transport people; everything is unknown, and even Qinglong Daoren cannot control it.
Xinran Zhanglao quickly shook her head and refused: "Forget it, I don't want to take risks; you should have someone else do this."
She didn't want to die; she wanted to live a few more years. This transmission device consumes a lot of resources, many of them high-grade, resources not easily found in that world, requiring a long time to gather.
According to her knowledge, several major sects joining forces might manage it, but relying on Chen Chuyang alone would be difficult.
Moreover, many of the resources involved are extremely precious, hard to find in that world; obtaining them is no easy feat, and even if Chen Chuyang were immensely powerful, without materials it would be useless.
"Can Chen Chuyang complete the setup over there?" Xinran Zhanglao asked curiously.
Qinglong Daoren spread his hands: "I don't know; this is something the main body thought of. My side's device is done; the rest is left to the main body to handle. As for me, I don't worry about it—once the main body finishes setting up over there, I can naturally come over."
"We just need to wait; whether it will succeed, when it will succeed—I don't know."
"Huh?" Xinran Zhanglao was astonished, but upon reflection it was indeed true—they truly could not know or confirm.
All we can do is wait; there is no other way.
"Just keep waiting? Isn't there a specific time?" Xinran Zhanglao asked again, trying to see a clue on Qinglong Daoren's face.
Qinglong Daoren shook his head: "No, I'm merely a clone; I cannot know the main body's situation."
"All right." Xinran Zhanglao gazed at the transmission device before her, her eyes shifting, her heart filled with worry.
Qinglong Daoren smiled: "If you're worried, I can send you up; if luck is good, you can return to that world, and then you can bring some materials to the main body—how about that?"
Xinran Zhanglao gave Qinglong Daoren a white-eye and said: "You're really ruthless."
"Hahaha." Qinglong Daoren laughed loudly: "Don't worry, there's no danger; at worst you'll encounter some hardship."
"With your ability, there's no problem at all."
Xinran Zhanglao wouldn't believe such nonsense; she wouldn't be fooled, nor would she go up to test it.
The first setup, no one has tried it before; it's very dangerous.
"Then do we need to wait here?" Xinran Zhanglao asked.
Qinglong Daoren said: "If you want to wait here, you can wait; I won't be waiting here."
"Forget it, I'll go out and look at those spiritual herbs." Xinran Zhanglao didn't want to stay in this place; it was too oppressive.
The two left the mountain cave together, neither wanting to stay.
On Longshe Shan.
Chen Chuyang had a splitting headache, looking at the materials in his hands, he gave a bitter smile.
Heishanyang stood beside him, urging: "Kid, hurry up—Tianwai is already done over there; we just need to finish here. Once the transmission device is complete, we can directly enter Tianwai, unbeknownst to gods or ghosts, and then we can stir up the situation in Tianwai."
"If possible, we'll wipe out the herding-dragon clan and those sects that have been raising this world; they've kept you like livestock for so many years—it's time they paid a price. Then I'll help you."
Killing so many people would yield nothing but good stuff; if we could swallow them all, wouldn't that be great?
Refining people into pills—all essence; Chen Chuyang's methods are quite sophisticated, and Heishanyang has become addicted, finding it far better than eating people raw, since the essence can be retained and he doesn't have to lift a finger, making digestion easier—why not?
"Can you help? Just stand by and urge me on."
Chen Chuyang replied irritably: "This black goat is just here to supervise the work, not to help."
Moving one's mouth—who can't do that?
Heishanyang explained: "Kid, I also want to help you, but the problem is I can't do anything—I can't help you."
"If you insist I help, I can indeed help."
Saying that, it moved to help, but Chen Chuyang quickly pressed it down.
"Forget it, just stay lying down." Chen Chuyang was afraid, not wanting the transmission device he'd painstakingly set up to be ruined by it—Heishanyang is good at destruction; letting it handle the setup is wishful thinking.
"Hehehe, kid, that's what you said—it's not that I won't help you, but that you won't let me help you." Heishanyang gloated: "How about this: I still have some good stuff in my hands; I'll give it all to you."
To get the device set up quickly, Heishanyang gritted its teeth and produced some of its treasures—treasures Chen Chuyang didn't even know about, which it had hidden for many years, known only to itself.
Looking at the mountain-like pile of materials before him, Chen Chuyang froze for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and stared at Heishanyang.
"You have all these good things—why didn't you bring them out earlier, making me go through all this trouble to gather them? Do you know how much I've paid to collect these materials?"
"You're really something—keeping quiet all this time; I think you're itching for a beating."
It's been a while since anyone beat it, so Heishanyang is itching for a hit.
Seeing this, Heishanyang knew the kid was about to kill it, and quickly explained: "Kid, it's not that I refused to bring them out; it's that you never asked me."
"If you had asked, how could I possibly not tell you? How could I not give them to you?"
"I'm not a stingy person; between us, if you need support, I will definitely give it without reservation."
While speaking, it kept backing away, afraid Chen Chuyang might really lay hands on it.
It scared the living daylights out of it.
Chen Chuyang gave it a glare and snarled: "Hmph, I'll forgive you this time; if you dare mess with me again, hmph."
This time, I won't lay a hand on it.
If there's a next time, Chen Chuyang will make it know why flowers are so red.
Heishanyang breathed a sigh of relief, though it had been scared stiff; if Chen Chuyang really chose to strike, it couldn't fight back and would only be at the mercy of others.
"Kid, this time it's my fault; I admit it, I guarantee there won't be a next time." Heishanyang promised.
Chen Chuyang didn't dwell on the topic further, but sped up the setup of the transmission device; with the materials Heishanyang gave him, he had enough to complete the device. He suspected Heishanyang had done it on purpose, seeing his materials were insufficient and not wanting to delay progress, so it promptly produced them.
For all these days, it had kept them hidden; to say it had no ulterior motive would be impossible.
