Chapter 263: The Mystery of the Teleportation Array, Grandmaster-Level Phantom Demon Transformation

Ten years later.

In the blink of an eye, ten years passed in an instant.

During this period, the sea area ruled by the Wuji Alliance was very peaceful.

Because Taohua Shangren had killed five Nascent Soul Sea Clan Cultivators, it thoroughly intimidated the Sea Clan, causing them to not dare act rashly for a short time, nor did they dare to launch large-scale attacks again.

However, the Wuji Alliance also lacked the strength to fight back and retake the first island chain.

Therefore, both sides could only remain in a stalemate within the second island chain, which could be considered a rare period of peace.

For the Samsung Island Group, this was undoubtedly a good thing.

Due to the stable environment, coupled with being located in the rear.

A large number of refugees fled from the northern sea area, joining the Samsung Island Group one after another.

This also caused the population ruled by Xianxia City to become larger and larger, and commerce to become increasingly prosperous.

Every year, the three major sects could earn a large amount of Spirit Stones, as well as a large amount of cultivation resources.

…………

Xianxia Sect, Xianxia Peak, a quiet room.

"It's done. I've finally understood the principles of the Teleportation Array."

Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground, his expression very excited.

After ten years, plus the help of the Array Heart Gu and the Book Gu, he had finally learned the method of setting up a Teleportation Array and understood the basic principles of the Teleportation Array.

This was quite an astonishing thing.

After all, even a Tier 4 Upper Grade Array Master might not be able to understand a Teleportation Array.

This had vaguely reached the level of a Five-Tier array.

It could be said that in the entire Immortal Cultivation World, the number of Array Masters who could set up a Teleportation Array was simply countable on one's fingers.

If these Array Masters were to fall, then in the future, there would not be many people in the Immortal Cultivation World who could set up Teleportation Arrays.

There wouldn't even be anyone to maintain them.

"There are basically only three types of Teleportation Arrays."

"The first type of Teleportation Array is the random Teleportation Array. This kind of array can teleport randomly, and the distance is extremely vast, easily exceeding a distance of ten billion kilometers.

But because it is a random teleportation, even the person who activates the array does not know where they will be teleported to; such arrays are basically used for escaping."

"The second type of Teleportation Array is the Yin-Yang Teleportation Array. It requires building two spatial array disks in advance, divided into Yin and Yang disks. In this way, these two disks can be built in different places.

Once this is done, when such a Teleportation Array is activated, the Yin and Yang arrays will simultaneously generate a resonance, establishing a stable spatial channel, thereby creating the effect of instantaneous teleportation.

However, the distance of such a Teleportation Array is relatively short, only about one hundred million kilometers, and the consumption is not small, with great limitations, so it has been gradually phased out."

"The third type of Teleportation Array is the current mainstream spatial array in the Immortal Cultivation World, which is the Child-Mother Teleportation Array. The so-called Child-Mother Teleportation Array requires first building a Mother Teleportation Array.

This Mother Teleportation Array is actually equivalent to a transit array, and it is also a central array. After having a central array, one can go to other places to build many Child Teleportation Arrays.

And in this way, these Child Teleportation Arrays will generate a resonance with the Mother Teleportation Array, and every teleportation will return to the central teleportation, and then from the central Teleportation Array, teleport to other Child Teleportation Arrays.

It can be said that this is also the Teleportation Array mainly used by the major Nascent Soul forces at present, because the benefits of this are simply too many; there is no need to build a large number of Yin-Yang Teleportation Arrays, as long as one builds individual Child Teleportation Arrays, the major islands can be connected to each other.

Of course, wanting to build a Child-Mother Teleportation Array is not such a simple matter; the resources required to be consumed are quite astonishing, and if one is not a Nascent Soul-level force, one is simply not qualified to afford to build it.

However, this kind of array also has a certain degree of defects, which is that the distance is not particularly far; the range covered by one Mother Teleportation Array is only about one billion kilometers.

If it exceeds this range, it cannot be teleported, and a second Mother Teleportation Array is needed. It can be said that each Mother Teleportation Array can only cover one billion kilometers of sea area, which is also the range covered by each Nascent Soul force."

Zhou Sui stroked his chin.

It had to be said that the spatial Teleportation Array was the most profound among the many Tier 4 arrays he had studied, because it involved the power of space, which was simply unfathomable.

If it weren't for the power of the Array Heart Gu, plus the power of the Book Gu, he would never have been able to learn it.

It could be said that if it weren't for the appearance of the Teleportation Array, the current Immortal Cultivation World would likely only be confined to a corner.

The major forces would simply be unable to connect.

After all, if one relied on flying by oneself, one wouldn't know how long it would take to cross a sea area of hundreds of millions of kilometers.

Most likely, an Immortal Cultivator would spend most of their life flying.

This was also something that Cultivators could not tolerate.

"Of course, besides these Teleportation Arrays, there are also long-distance Teleportation Arrays."

"Such Teleportation Arrays can instantly cross the Canglan Sea."

"But this belongs to a Five-Tier array, and it has long been lost to history."

"Therefore, they are also called Ancient Teleportation Arrays, which were built by Transformation God Cultivators in the Ancient Era."

"In the past, Wanliu Zhenren of the Yanmo Sect also relied on an Ancient Teleportation Array to escape to the Canglan Sea."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

It is rumored that in the Ancient Era of the Immortal Cultivation World, the many continents of the whole world, as well as the major sea areas, were all connected to each other, precisely because of the existence of Ancient Teleportation Arrays.

It is a pity that because the Ancient Teleportation Arrays were lost, and the distance was too far.

The long distance became a natural chasm.

Therefore, the major immortal cultivation regions formed major independent areas, and it was no longer possible to connect them.

Of course, there is also the so-called Cross-Boundary Teleportation Array.

But such an array is only a legend; it is said that this belongs to a Six-Rank, or even a Seven-Tier array.

It is simply impossible for it to appear in the Human World.

"No wonder Wuji Island became the core of the Wuji Alliance."

"Even if Fourth-tier Islands appeared in other parts of the sea area, they could not compare to Wuji Island."

"After all, Wuji Island is the true transportation hub."

"Therefore, Cultivators who want to cross the sea area all need to take a Teleportation Array to reach Wuji Island."

"Due to the existence of Top-grade Spirit Stones, the cost of starting the Teleportation Array is not very high."

"Each Cultivator only needs ten High-grade Spirit Stones to teleport once."

"Each teleportation involves hundreds of people, and sometimes even thousands."

"Many Cultivators who want to save time are willing to pay this fee."

"Tsk tsk, relying on this central Teleportation Array, Wuji Island makes a fortune every single day."

"Just by relying on collecting transit fees, who knows how much money they make."

"It is simply a business with ten thousand times the profit."

Zhou Sui clicked his tongue in admiration.

He finally understood why Nascent Soul forces like the Wuji Alliance were becoming increasingly wealthy.

Just these transit fees alone were enough to fill their coffers.

It was enough to make countless Cultivators green with envy.

However, without absolute strength, one could not hold onto such benefits.

This was also what the Wuji Alliance deserved—benefits brought about by strength.

Of course, the reason the Wuji Alliance's Teleportation Array fees were so cheap.

Was actually because the Wuji Alliance possessed a massive amount of Top-grade Spirit Stones.

After all, Top-grade Spirit Stones could be removed.

Once the energy of the Top-grade Spirit Stones inside the array was exhausted, they could be replaced with new ones.

Those depleted Top-grade Spirit Stones would then be placed into a Spirit Vein to recharge.

In this way, a continuous supply of Top-grade Spirit Stones could be utilized.

The energy cost was almost zero.

However, since it still required daily maintenance by an Array Master, the cost was still quite significant.

"But looking at it this way, if I want to build a Teleportation Array, I still need to apply to the Wuji Alliance for a Child Array."

"The kind that can connect to Wuji Island."

"After all, if I were to build a Teleportation Array myself, the resources consumed would be far too great, and I would have to build arrays in two locations; it simply wouldn't be worth the effort."

Zhou Sui felt very helpless.

Because the construction of a Teleportation Array was not a matter for a single island, but for many islands.

He could not exclude other islands to build a single Teleportation Array on his own.

That would have no meaning at all.

It could be said that this was an array only a major force could possess.

If it were an ordinary force, there would be no need at all; it would just be a vanity project for the sake of reputation.

It belonged to the category of a "chicken rib" endeavor.

Unless he became the leader of a Nascent Soul force, there was no need to build a Teleportation Array.

"Forget it, forget it. It seems that improving my cultivation is more important."

"Teleportation Arrays and the like are purely side paths."

Zhou Sui's heart stirred, and he immediately put the matter of the Teleportation Array aside; he opened his Virtual Panel.

"Not bad, my cultivation has improved quite a bit; it seems I will soon be able to advance to the Golden Core Late Stage."

Zhou Sui was very satisfied.

After ten years of bitter cultivation, it wasn't just his Array Formation cultivation that had broken through.

The greatest breakthrough, without a doubt, was the increase in his internal Golden Core Dharma Power.

It wouldn't take long before he reached the perfection of the Golden Core Middle Stage, thereby breaking through to the Golden Core Late Stage.

Once he broke through to the Golden Core Late Stage, the Nascent Soul Realm would not be very far away.

It could be said that his speed of progress was already quite astonishing.

Even for a Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator, wanting to break through to the Golden Core Late Stage would take over a hundred years.

Wanting to advance to Nascent Soul would also take over two hundred years.

This was already a terrifying speed of progress.

His cultivation efficiency, to a certain extent, had already surpassed that of a Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator.

Of course, this also had a great deal to do with the many fortuitous encounters he had obtained, as well as the help of the Infatuation Gu.

"The Phantom Demon Transformation Art has also finally broken through to the Master Realm."

Zhou Sui felt that over these past ten years, all the various abilities he possessed had improved to varying degrees, but the one that had improved the most was undoubtedly the Phantom Demon Transformation Art.

This top-tier auxiliary technique from the Heavenly Demon Sect had indeed helped him a great deal.

It could not only conceal the aura on his body but also change his appearance and his aura, transforming him into the likeness of another person.

With this technique, he could disguise himself as someone else at any time.

Even if enemies wanted to find his true form, it was almost an impossible task.

After advancing to the Master Realm, this technique had become even more powerful.

It was no longer as simple as just transforming into a Human.

It could also alter his flesh and blood structure and compress his body density, allowing him to transform into another species.

For example, kittens, puppies, lions, tigers, fish, flying eagles, bats, and various other animals.

This was practically no different from a transformation art.

"The Master Realm Phantom Demon Transformation Art is actually this powerful."

"If this is the case, I could even transform into a Monster Beast and disguise myself as a monster."

Zhou Sui exclaimed in wonder.

He felt more and more that this technique had inexhaustible marvelous uses; it was simply a supreme art for being a spy.

Moreover, it could not only infiltrate the hostile sects of Humans but also infiltrate the Demon Race.

He could gather all kinds of intelligence from the Demon Race.

Of course, for an ordinary Cultivator, it was basically impossible to cultivate this technique to the Master Realm.

At the very least, one would need to reach the Nascent Soul Realm, or even the Spirit Severing, to possibly cultivate this technique to the Master level.

And it was only by relying on the power of the Book Gu that Zhou Sui was able to cultivate this technique to the Master level while in the Golden Core Realm.

It could only be said that this was an achievement unprecedented in history.

"It is worthy of being a secret technique of the Heavenly Demon Sect."

"The so-called Heavenly Demon is one that has a thousand transformations, is formless and colorless, and has no self and no appearance."

"It seems the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon Sect is definitely not as simple as being at the Nascent Soul level; at the very least, it is at the Spirit Severing level."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible for such an exquisite and peerless technique to exist."

Zhou Sui clicked his tongue in admiration.

He felt that he had truly struck gold by obtaining this technique.

To a certain extent, this must be a top-tier auxiliary technique within the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Of course, the difficulty of cultivation was also extremely high.

If one lacked talent, it would be difficult to take even a single step, and one would be unable to make a breakthrough at all.

Even after several hundred years, there was a high probability that one would only be at the Beginner level.

As for wanting to reach the Master Realm, who knew how many years or months that would take.

"The Void Soul Thorn has also advanced to the Major Achievement realm."

Zhou Sui was also very satisfied with the progress of this Soul Secret Technique.

Because during the battle at Julu Island, he had discovered the wonders of this Soul Secret Technique.

Combined with his powerful Soul strength, he could simply unleash this Soul Secret Technique to its fullest potential.

After the Void Soul Thorn reached the Major Achievement realm, its speed and power increased by more than several times, and he could also condense multiple Void Soul Thorns simultaneously to launch attacks at enemies.

This also made it impossible for enemies to defend against.

In an instant, they would be pierced like a hornet's nest, and death would be almost certain.

After mastering this Soul Secret Technique, he had gained one more means of dealing with enemies.

One hour later, Zhou Sui consolidated his cultivation slightly and walked out of the quiet room.

"Master Zhou."

At this very moment, the four Golden Core handmaidens, Chuntao, Xiatao, Qiutao, and Dongtao, had also been waiting outside for a long time.

To prevent his information from leaking out, Zhou Sui had also planted the Infatuation Gu in them.

After all, there were simply too many secrets on him.

It was better to trust one's own people.

The human heart is fickle; who would know what the other party is thinking?

And more importantly, since they were already his personal handmaidens, they would naturally be his own people in the future.

Therefore, integrating the Infatuation Gu was only right and proper.

Clearly, after the Infatuation Gu was integrated, the four Golden Core handmaidens, Chuntao, Xiatao, Qiutao, and Dongtao, looked at Zhou Sui with even more infatuation; they already had quite a bit of affection for Zhou Sui to begin with.

After ten years of living together, plus the effect of the Infatuation Gu, such affection was elevated to the extreme.

"The meal is already prepared; I wonder when you would like to begin dining?"

Chuntao looked at Zhou Sui with deep affection, her gaze bold and passionate.

"No rush, I will go take a bath first."

"We will eat later; you all prepare first."

Zhou Sui waved his hand and walked straight toward the hot spring.

Although Cultivators also have a Cleaning Technique that can instantly remove filth from their bodies, he still liked soaking in the hot spring.

Because soaking in the hot spring was not just about washing away filth, it was also a form of rest.

Therefore, he still maintained his habits as a mortal, which basically hadn't changed much.

"I didn't expect Master Zhou to be such a diligent cultivator."

"In ten years, he has almost never left Xianxia City, and hasn't even gone down the mountain."

"If he isn't bitterly cultivating with his wives and concubines, he is bitterly cultivating in the quiet room, learning the hundred arts of immortality."

"No wonder Lord Zhou's cultivation progress is so fast."

Watching Zhou Sui enter the hot spring, Xiatao said with great emotion.

Previously, she had more or less misunderstood this man, thinking he might be a playboy who relied on his handsome appearance to flirt with female Cultivators everywhere.

But after spending ten years together, she realized that was not the case at all.

This man was simply a bitter cultivator who was single-mindedly striving for improvement.

It is said that the six wives and concubines by his side all pursued him actively, even forcing themselves upon him, to win this man over.

If it weren't for these wives and concubines pursuing him, I'm afraid this man would still be all alone.

Of course, if this man were ugly and had low cultivation, she felt he would simply lack charm and no female Cultivator would like him.

Yet this man is exceptionally beautiful, with an appearance like Pan An, counting as a peerless handsome man, just like an immortal descended from the heavens.

A man like this would surely be pursued by countless wild bees and butterflies.

If he just crooked his finger a little, who knows how many shameless female Cultivators would come to his door, offering themselves.

So, the fact that this man only has six Dao Companions now is already considered incredibly devoted.

Having spent ten years together, she became increasingly certain of this point.

"Isn't that so? No wonder this man never contacts the Island Master."

"It's not that he doesn't like the Island Master, it's purely that his heart for seeking the Dao is resolute."

"All his thoughts are spent on cultivation."

"Wanting to make him actively pursue the Island Master is probably an impossible task."

Qiutao looked helpless.

She felt that the task issued by the Island Master was becoming increasingly difficult to complete.

She had never encountered such a thorny task in her entire life.

"Is he really spending his thoughts on cultivation?"

"This man spends most of his time bitterly cultivating with his Dao Companions, right?"

"It's simply day and night; I've never seen such a man with such vigorous needs."

Dongtao was speechless, her face flushed red.

As a maiden herself, where had she ever seen such scenes between Dao Companions?

To tell the truth, it also took her a long time to adapt to it.

"This is also something that can't be helped."

"Lord Zhou's internal Qi and blood are vigorous, and he also needs to bitterly cultivate with his Dao Companions."

"Only then can he discharge the vigorous Pure Yang Qi within his body."

"If Lord Zhou were truly fickle, I'm afraid taking a hundred concubines would only be a trivial matter."

"It wouldn't just be six wives and concubines as it is now."

Chuntao, however, expressed understanding of Zhou Sui's situation.

She could sense that this man was a powerful Body Cultivator, and the Qi and blood within his body were unimaginably vigorous.

If it weren't for the assistance of his Dao Companions, I'm afraid the yin and yang within his body would have long been out of balance.

For a Cultivator, this is not a good thing.

Only by bitterly cultivating with his Dao Companions day and night can such trouble be resolved.

"But if this is the case, how should we complete the Island Master's task?"

Xiatao said with great helplessness.

"Why not drug him?"

"Tie this man up and carry him to the Island Master's bed."

"Cook the raw rice into cooked rice."

"Even if this man wants to regret it, it will be too late."

Qiutao said triumphantly, stating her scheme.

"Pah, what kind of ghost scheme is that?"

"The Island Master is of such heavenly beauty, does she still need to drug a man? I can't believe you thought of that."

"Do you know that a forced melon is not sweet?"

Dongtao said indignantly.

She didn't know what Qiutao was thinking; it was barely any different from those shameless male Cultivators.

"But according to this man's personality, I'm afraid he will continue to bitterly cultivate on Xianxia Peak for several decades."

"If that happens, he will have no chance to meet the Island Master."

"Unless the Island Master comes here in person."

"The one near the water gets the moon first; otherwise, how could it succeed?"

Qiutao said with great helplessness.

Because Taohua Shangren needs to guard Julu Island, even if the Sea Clan is temporarily unable to attack, she cannot slack off.

Otherwise, if the Teleportation Array on the island is destroyed, the second island chain will suffer.

So Taohua Shangren still needs to stay on Julu Island all the time and cannot leave.

"Rather than waiting for the Island Master to act, we might as well act ourselves."

"If one could become the wife or concubine of an immortal like Lord Zhou, it might not be a bad thing."

Chuntao's eyes were seductive, her heart fluttering.

She felt as if she could no longer control the emotions in her heart.

It was just like a volcanic eruption, gushing forth.

"Chuntao, what are you thinking about? This is a man the Island Master has taken a fancy to."

"Are you trying to fight the Island Master for a man?"

Xiatao said crossly.

"What is wrong with that? Besides, men all have three wives and four concubines."

"The Island Master can be the main wife, and we can perfectly well be concubines."

"In this way, we can be with the Island Master forever."

"I have no intention of ruining the Island Master's marriage, but rather intend to join it."

Chuntao said righteously.

What?!

Hearing this, the three sisters Xiatao, Qiutao, and Dongtao looked at each other, and all saw the feeling of heart-pounding excitement in each other; it seemed this was a path they had never imagined before.

But it also seemed like it might actually work.

Boom~~

Just at this moment, before they could even discuss the next step of their plan, the entire Shuixing Island, and even the sea area of the Samsung Island Group, experienced a massive earthquake, reaching a magnitude nine.

The intense tremors affected every single island in this sea area.
