Chapter 146: Teleportation Array
Do not be swayed by things, do not be saddened by oneself.
My cultivation, it hasn't reached home yet!
Zhang Xingyu sighed, composed his mood, and sized up the situation before him.
Just a moment ago, after the Dragon Pearl dissipated, the scene at the very top of this Jade Dragon Tower had also changed.
He saw that where the Dragon Pearl had dissipated, a vortex about a zhang in diameter had appeared.
The inside of the vortex was pitch black; the situation within could not be seen clearly.
What the hell is this?
Could it be that by passing through this vortex, one can return to the Xuantiandalu?
Zhang Xingyu stared at the vortex, pondering to himself.
Beside him.
Mo Guang had a face full of pain, his body trembling incessantly, and he was emitting painful groans from his mouth.
His body was constantly swelling like a balloon, and his cheeks were twisting incessantly as if having a cramp.
On the surface of his ink-black skin, sweat like ink was constantly surging out.
Mo Guang's skin color was becoming whiter and whiter, and a pair of fleshy bumps gradually bulged from both sides of his forehead.
Zhang Xingyu turned his head, looking at this scene in shock.
Is Mo Guang playing at transformation?
Half an hour later, his eyes were wide as copper bells, and his mouth was open wide enough to fit an egg.
Is the guy in front of him still Mo Guang?
At this very moment, standing before him was no longer that burly black charcoal head, but a fair-skinned, handsome-faced, slender young man.
The only discordant thing was that this guy actually had two horns growing on his head, letting one know at a glance that he had successfully evolved into the True Dragon race.
This turned into a dragon?
Simply unbelievable!
Zhang Xingyu turned his head and asked Zhang Kaixin in a low voice: "Who is this guy? No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like Mo Guang."
"What's the big deal? He just evolved into a True Dragon, that's all."
"Even if he evolved into a True Dragon, he couldn't change this much. From a black kid to a fair-faced young man?"
"It's very normal. The Dragon race is a very vain race, oh! Everyone likes to turn themselves into a handsome, dashing, and romantic appearance."
Nearby, Mo Guang heard Zhang Kaixin's reply and snorted coldly: "You two idiots don't know a damn thing. This is bloodline evolution. After bloodline evolution, the face naturally evolves along with it."
After Mo Guang finished speaking, without waiting for Zhang Xingyu and the other to speak, he lifted his leg and walked toward the vortex.
Arriving before the vortex, he leaped down.
The vortex was like a big mouth, instantly swallowing him until he was nowhere to be seen.
Damn, this guy Mo Guang is very vain now, completely forgetting his own status.
I'll have to educate him properly later.
I must make him understand one principle.
A master is meant to be respected.
Pulling Zhang Kaixin, the two of them lightly stepped into the pitch-black vortex.
The world spun.
When he opened his eyes again, he discovered he had already arrived in another world.
Here, the mountains were clear and the waters beautiful, the birds sang and the flowers smelled fragrant; what a peach blossom paradise.
"A good place. Could it be that this is back to the Xuantiandalu? That's right, only the Xuantiandalu has such high mountains." Zhang Xingyu praised softly.
His voice had just fallen when a familiar voice rang in his ear.
"Kid, what are you blindly thinking about? This is a secret realm of our Dragon race."
Zhang Xingyu turned his head and saw a face so handsome it was falling apart.
This was a youth in his twenties.
His skin was smooth and fair, his face had distinct angles, and his eyes were dark and deep. Thick brows, a high nose, and his lips held a faint smile.
This guy looks somewhat familiar.
"This brother, may I ask your honorable name? Have we met before?" Zhang Xingyu cupped his hands toward the youth.
The youth laughed.
"Stinky kid, it's one thing to be disrespectful, but you also lack discernment. Look again, who am I?"
Zhang Xingyu carefully sized up the youth once more.
He looked somewhat like that bullshit Crown Prince Ao Guang of the Blue Crystal Dragon Palace.
"Are you Ao Guang?" Zhang Xingyu asked.
"Thump."
The words had just fallen when his head received a blow.
"Stinky kid, I am Ao Cheng. How long has it been, and you don't recognize me?" The youth roared at Zhang Xingyu.
"Ah?"
Zhang Xingyu looked at the youth, his eyeballs already shocked out of their sockets.
"Ao Cheng? You are the old dragon Ao Cheng? This is too unbelievable!"
Just witnessed a black charcoal head turn into a pretty boy, and didn't expect to see an old guy rejuvenate.
"Thump."
His head received another blow.
"Stinky kid, what's unbelievable. I, the old dragon, originally looked like this. Do you think I, the old dragon, am very handsome?" Ao Cheng said, and even touched his nose with his hand, looking very vain.
Zhang Xingyu was dumbfounded. Is this still the original old dragon Ao Cheng with a face full of wrinkles and a dead-as-a-doornail look?
"Stinky kid, did you also go to break into the Jade Dragon Tower?" Ao Cheng asked.
Zhang Xingyu nodded.
"The Jade Dragon Tower is not easy to break into. How did you break through?" Ao Cheng asked again.
Zhang Xingyu told Ao Cheng about the situation they encountered in the Jade Dragon Tower.
"By the way, Senior, my partner Mo Guang entered the vortex before me. I wonder if he also arrived here?"
Ao Cheng shook his head.
"That kid obtained the Dragon God's inheritance, so he must have been teleported to the Dragon God's residence. He probably won't be able to come out until he cultivates to the Dragon King realm."
Zhang Xingyu listened in silence.
It seems this bodyguard Mo Guang won't be leaving with him.
Forget it, it's nothing. Without a bodyguard, I'll still roam the jianghu just the same.
Zhang Xingyu quickly recovered from his disappointment, and then listened to Ao Cheng talk about the situation after they parted.
It turned out that after Ao Cheng successfully passed his tribulation, he returned to the Dragon Palace with his brothers.
With the help of the Dragon Palace's divine pills and spiritual medicines, his incomplete body quickly recovered as before.
According to the Dragon race's regulations, every Great Vehicle stage Dragon King must guard this secret realm for ten thousand years.
Ao Cheng had just entered the Great Vehicle stage, and thinking that his cultivation needed consolidation, he came to this secret realm to cultivate while guarding the teleportation array.
After finishing his own affairs, Ao Cheng asked Zhang Xingyu: "Kid, this secret realm connects the Blue Crystal Sea and the Xuantiandalu. You broke through the Jade Dragon Tower and came here; could it be that you want to go to the Xuantiandalu from here?"
"Senior's eyes are like torches. I do indeed want to use the teleportation array here to teleport to the Xuantiandalu."
Ao Cheng glared at Zhang Xingyu, then shook his head.
"Kid, the teleportation array here is a super-long-distance large-scale teleportation array. Activating it once requires a million high-grade spirit stones. I am a poor ghost; I don't have that many spirit stones."
"Senior, does the teleportation array have any requirements for the attributes of the spirit stones?" Zhang Xingyu asked.
"That, it doesn't. But a million high-grade spirit stones is a truly shocking amount. In the past, I could have helped you scrape some together. But the last tribulation consumed all the supplies on me. Now, I am completely clean; I really cannot take out so many spirit stones."
"Senior, I have the spirit stones. Just trouble yourself to activate the teleportation array and teleport me back to the Xuantiandalu."
"A million high-grade spirit stones, you have them?"
Ao Cheng's eyes widened, looking completely disbelieving.
"I really do." Zhang Xingyu nodded solemnly.
"Stinky kid, I didn't expect you to be a little rich man."
After speaking, Ao Cheng sighed again.
"Fine, since you have the spirit stones, then I will send you on your way."
Ao Cheng led Zhang Xingyu and the other to a steaming, mist-filled valley.
"This is Hot Spring Valley, originally a volcanic crater, which was renovated by our Dragon race to build the teleportation array."
Walking into the valley, one could see a high platform vaguely appearing in the center of the valley.
Approaching the high platform, one could see that this platform was ten zhang in diameter and about three zhang high, with the base covered in runes.
Climbing the stairs to the high platform, one could see a six-pointed pattern carved in the center of the platform.
Around the pattern were carved six giant dragons of different shapes and colors.
Under Ao Cheng's signal, Zhang Xingyu poured the spirit stones from his ring toward one of the giant dragons.
Strange to say, once these spirit stones reached above the giant dragon, they were like birds returning to the forest, automatically throwing themselves into the giant dragon's mouth.
After pouring in about a hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones, that giant dragon became as if alive, its whole body flashing with golden light, and dragon roars echoing from its mouth.
In this way, he poured a massive amount of spirit stones into the mouths of the other giant dragons, and the six giant dragons simultaneously spat golden light toward the six star rays.
The star rays lit up.
"Kid, take care!"
"Old Dragon, take care!" ===== CHAPTER 147 =====
