Chapter 358: Teleportation Technique

"Leave?"

Bi Yun frowned strangely: "Master, your disciple hasn't grasped even a shred of Dao yet—she's a blank slate. Why rush to leave?"

"Is it truly important?"

"Of course!" Xiao Yaozi said softly: "In the cultivation world, once one reaches the Soul Transformation realm, one should theoretically ascend!"

"But our world is flawed—the pathway to ascension has somehow been severed!"

"So to enter the higher realm, one must use spatial Dao techniques to open spatial nodes and force one's way up!"

"This time, all twenty-seven Soul Transformation cultivators of the Liang Nation are meeting to discuss this very matter!"

"They call it the Ascension Assembly!"

"You know, I'm now in the Soul Transformation realm—it's my duty to attend!"

"Oh!" Bi Yun frowned tightly: "So many Soul Transformation cultivators together—and you've only just entered the realm. Be careful. Don't get betrayed!"

"Hehe…" Xiao Yaozi said: "Don't worry—I won't."

His heart warmed.

No matter what, his disciple still cared for him.

"Then this it is!" Xiao Yaozi looked at Qiao Hui Zhu: "When I return, I'll teach you the Dao of heaven and earth!"

"First, merge with the spatial Dao!"

Hummm…

As he spoke, Xiao Yaozi condensed from his mind-sea a fist-sized, soft, wispy mass, insubstantial as smoke.

He placed it before Qiao Hui Zhu: "Girl, once you merge with this, you'll grasp rudimentary spatial Dao principles and gain the ability to perform teleportation!"

"First, comprehend this!"

Then Xiao Yaozi glanced at Bi Yun: "I'm leaving. Stay indoors. Don't wander. Just cultivate quietly!"

Bi Yun's eyes grew damp: "Old thing, don't you dare die out there!"

Xiao Yaozi moved—and vanished without a trace.

Bi Yun Xianzi flicked her sleeve: "You may go back now!"

Her mood was sour.

He Pingsheng quickly pulled Qiao Hui Zhu out.

…

They returned to Qiao Hui Zhu's Dao hall.

The hall's name was elegant: "Qingyu Palace," naturally named after Qiao Hui Zhu's Dao title.

"Husband, if you have nothing else to do, I'll start comprehending the spatial law now!"

Qiao Hui Zhu pulled out the white, smoke-like mass.

He Pingsheng said: "No... the spatial law is the hardest; the Five Elements are comparatively easier!"

"Here—first comprehend the ice attribute of the Five Elements!"

As he spoke, He Pingsheng pulled out a jade box: "Look at this."

He snapped it open—a column of ice appeared before Qiao Hui Zhu.

Ten-thousand-year ice marrow.

"This is ten-thousand-year ice marrow!" He Pingsheng said: "I obtained it from the Water Dragon Gully in Five Dragon Gully. It contains the primal source of the ice Dao law—no need to contemplate it; just swallow it!"

"This one will take roughly two months to merge."

Qiao Hui Zhu said: "Alright… I'll follow your advice."

He Pingsheng said: "Give me the spatial Dao—let me see what secrets it holds."

Qiao Hui Zhu, without hesitation, handed him the spatial law.

Then she swallowed the ten-thousand-year ice marrow and began cultivation.

Once Qiao Hui Zhu entered her state, He Pingsheng gently tossed the spatial essence into his Treasure Basin.

The Soul Transformation elder was gone—no one would spy.

He Pingsheng feared Qiao Hui Zhu would notice, so when the law strengthened into two, he immediately took one out and continued strengthening the other.

By morning, he had two spatial law spiritual-nugget orbs.

They looked nearly identical, but the strengthened one carried stronger law power.

Hmm…

Since they looked identical, keep strengthening.

He Pingsheng strengthened the other one.

After both were strengthened, he took one and stealthily slipped it into his mind-sea.

Boom!

Vast spatial law power exploded within his mind-sea, instantly filling it completely.

He Pingsheng immediately sat cross-legged and began cultivation.

Comprehending the spatial Dao.

Time passed slowly.

Indeed, spatial Dao was far harder to comprehend.

Two months later, Qiao Hui Zhu had fully comprehended the entire ten-thousand-year ice marrow—but He Pingsheng still hadn't finished.

"Husband… I've finished!" Qiao Hui Zhu looked at He Pingsheng: "Can I now comprehend the spatial Dao?"

"Yes!" He Pingsheng gave Qiao Hui Zhu the strengthened spatial law and another ten-thousand-year ice marrow: "Choose—comprehend whichever you like."

Qiao Hui Zhu thought a moment: "I'll start with the spatial Dao."

Then she began merging the spatial Dao again.

Another month passed—He Pingsheng fully comprehended the spatial Dao.

Qiao Hui Zhu, however, had only comprehended it for one month.

Naturally, she hadn't fully grasped it.

He Pingsheng knew his wife couldn't grasp much in a short time, so he shifted his spiritual sense and activated the spatial Dao.

Whoosh—his figure vanished from the hall.

When he reappeared, he was outside Xiao Yao Immortal Sect, a thousand li away.

That's how terrifying it was.

He Pingsheng was overjoyed: "Success! Hahaha!"

Yes—his teleportation technique was complete.

Of course, his ability was still weak.

Because his grasp of the spatial law was extremely crude, after one teleport, he could move at most three thousand li.

When his comprehension of the law deepens, a single thought will carry him ten thousand li away.

Even farther.

"Go!" He Pingsheng shifted his spiritual sense again.

His body returned silently to the palace where Qiao Hui Zhu was.

Without a sound.

Four months later, Qiao Hui Zhu finally merged the spatial Dao and learned teleportation.

To put it plainly: He Pingsheng mastered teleportation in three months; Qiao Hui Zhu took five.

This showed his comprehension was slightly stronger.

They took equal time to comprehend the ice marrow because Qiao Hui Zhu was born with a single Ice Spirit Root—she had the advantage.

"Sister!" He Pingsheng asked: "Earlier, I gave you the 'Mystic Gate Stillness True Scripture'—have you cultivated it?"

"Mm-hmm!" Qiao Hui Zhu nodded: "I've cultivated it these years—my spiritual sense is now extremely strong. One thought covers ten thousand zhang around me."

Ten thousand zhang?

He Pingsheng was stunned.

But he quickly understood—her spiritual sense was now on par with his.

"Good!" He Pingsheng pulled out another jade slip: "This is a mind-sea defense technique—'Nine Purple Palace Shields.' Cultivate it—it defends against spiritual sense attacks. Take it."
