Chapter 654: Chapter 654: Ancient Teleportation Array_1
Zhang Xian and the others turned their heads, also struck by the distant scenery.
At this mont, dawn had already broken, the distant horizon showing a hint of morning light that illuminated the land, gradually revealing the outline of the scene.
In the morning light, a majestic mountain stood towering, enveloped in a green ocean. Amidst the misty fog, the greenery was abundant, flowers blood in profusion, and an ancient palace appeared in and out of view...
"There’s a palace on the mountain."
Zhu Qing pointed into the mist, her face full of excitent: "Could it be another relic from ancient tis?"
"So beautiful..."
Fu iting’s eyes curved into a pair of beautiful crescents.
"Senior sister!"
Zhang Xian, who was lying on Zi Yu’s back, laughed: "Let’s go and have a look."
"You want
to carry you again?" Zi Yu asked in surprise.
Zhang Xian deeply inhaled the faint, delicate fragrance emanating from Zi Yu’s body and chuckled: "Aren’t I unable to walk?"
Zi Yu rolled her eyes, too lazy to quibble with Zhang Xian. Lifting him up by the buttocks, she began running rapidly towards the distant mountain peak.
Seeing this, Fu iting, Mo Shaoyun, and the other won also ran after them.
They all possessed the strength of the Innate Realm, and their sprinting speeds were not slow.
"Eh..."
Zhang Xian, feeling Zi Yu’s hands grabbing his buttocks, paused for a mont before asking: "Senior sister, aren’t you taking advantage of ? It would’ve been fine if you had just grabbed my thighs, why are you grabbing my buttocks?"
"You..."
Zi Yu’s hands moved downwards as she retorted with gritted teeth: "Either shut up or walk on your own, why do you have to chatter so much?"
Zhang Xian just chuckled without saying anything more.
Traveling at a rapid pace, the ancient but majestic palace was soon in front of them.
"Could this be another sect?"
Resting on Zi Yu’s back and holding her slender neck, Zhang Xian inquired with a puzzled tone.
At this mont, they had already entered the palace, and the layout of the palace was consistent with the design of a sect, featuring a main hall, side halls, a martial arts arena, a book collection tower, an alchemy tower, and other places.
However, there were no defensive formations protecting the outer periphery of the palace, which was a little contrary to common sense. How could such a large sect not have defensive formations?
In comparison to the sect Zhang Xian entered previously, the sect in front of them was clearly much larger. If one was to compare, the current sect was as imposing as a large Buddhist temple, whereas the previous one could pass as a small sect at most.
"It’s so majestic! Let’s go in and see what good things are inside." Fu iting was the first to run inside.
Zhang Xian no longer required Zi Yu to carry him. He jumped down and followed along.
Although he didn’t sense any formations within the sect, he was unsure whether there were other dangers present. The cultivators of the ancient tis were simply too powerful.
Right now, he was only a beginner among cultivators. Those mighty ones could easily annihilate him with just a flick of their fingers.
"What kind of place is this?"
Zi Yu was unaware of cultivation, the ancient tis, and the existence of many ancient martial arts sects.
However, it was obvious that the ancient martial arts sects none of which had the scale of this palace. If such a large ancient martial arts sect truly existed, dominating the world of ancient martial arts would seem like a trivial task.
"Brother Zhang Xian, look, there are words up there."
Dong Qian suddenly pointed at a giant palace in front and said, "But those characters look strange. They don’t seem like ancient text, I don’t know when they were written."
"Feather Immortal Gate?" Zhang Xian looked up and muttered to himself.
Having received the heritage of ancient tis, the ancient characters were not too unfamiliar to him, much similar to how modern words felt.
The ancient heritage he received previously was more of a ntal transmission, imprinting everything in his mind.
"Do you recognize those characters?" Mo Shaoyun asked.
Rembering Zhang Xian’s abilities, she understood, "Oh, you did receive an ancient heritage, so it’s not strange that you recognize these characters."
"What’s an ancient heritage?" Zi Yu’s face was filled with confusion.
Dong Qian smiled and said, "It’s the civilization of ancient tis, the kind of cultivation of ancient tis! Actually, both we and Brother Zhang Xian are not ancient martial artists! Moreover, we are much stronger than ancient martial artists."
Zi Yu widened her eyes and asked, "What? You are not ancient martial artists? What do you an by cultivators?"
"We practice the civilization of ancient tis, what we now regard as cultivation in modern tis." Zhang Xian explained, "Actually, I had such strength when I was just in my twenties. It has nothing to do with my talent. The path I take is entirely different from you ancient martial artists. The cultivation civilization of ancient tis is far stronger than our current ancient martial arts."
"Your practice is completely different from ours? How is that possible?"
Zi Yu was filled with confusion, "I’ve never heard of any practices outside of ancient martial arts. Like those western practices, they can’t even compare to our ancient martial arts."
"Of course."
Zhang Xian smiled, "Within the realm of ancient martial arts, I’m already a grandmaster. After grandmaster, there’s only the Legendary Realm. In the cultivation world, do you know my strength?"
Zi Yu curiously asked, "What level? Is it very strong?"
"Eh..."
Zhang Xian forced a smile, "I haven’t even entered the real gateway to power. How strong could I be? At the highest realm of cultivation, the strength is beyond your imagination."
"N...No way?"
Zi Yu was already shocked beyond her limits, "Is the civilization of ancient tis really that strong?"
"Mmm, very impressive indeed," Dong Qian and Zhu Qing nodded in agreent.
When they first learned about these matters, their reactions were similar to Zi Yu’s. If Zhang Xian’s abilities were not genuinely extraordinary, they might not have believed him; everything seed too surreal.
"Let’s go in and take a look first."
Zhang Xian suggested, "Later, when we return, I’ll teach you the thod of practice. Stop walking the path of the ancient martial arts. With your current basics, you should be able to reach the Tier Seven Celestial Body Refinent Realm."
"Tier Seven Celestial Body Refinent Realm?" Zi Yu curiously asked, "What stage is that?"
Zhang Xian explained, "Refining the body lays the foundation for future cultivation and represents the initial stage for cultivators. After crossing this threshold, a spiritual vortex, also known as the Spiritual Origin Realm, will appear inside you. In this realm, your body can store Spiritual Origin, which is superior to Spiritual Energy. This can be considered as truly entering the hall of cultivation."
"How would one fare in the Spiritual Origin Realm?" Zi Yu asked.
Fu Tianlin shook his head, "I haven’t reached that realm yet, so I am not sure. However, it must be more powerful than the Legendary Realm."
"That impressive?"
After a mont’s pause, Zi Yu asked, "After the Spiritual Origin Realm, how many realms are left?"
"There are many..."
Zhang Xian laughed and said, "Sister, let’s go in first. We can talk more about cultivating when we return. We don’t have much ti now."
Zi Yu nodded without asking any further.
"What is that ahead?"
Before long, Zhang Xian and the others reached the back mountain of the sect.
Before their eyes was an open space where stood nine stone pillars, too large for a single person to embrace, covered in exceedingly intricate symbols that were difficult to comprehend.
In the center of the stone pillars was a circular pedestal about one ter high, also engraved with strange symbols.
"What odd stone pillars."
Having examined the pillars, Fu iting asked, "Zhang Xian, do you recognize these bizarre characters?"
"This is not text, but rather a form of symbols."
After circling the stone pedestal, Zhang Xian suddenly froze. After a long while, he exclaid in surprise, "Could this be a teleportation array left from ancient tis?"
"Teleportation array?" The won looked at Zhang Xian in surprise.
The na sounded sowhat profound. Could it be a teleportation array that could transport one from one place to another instantly?
"It seems so." Zhang Xian’s face was grave.
On their way here, he found this sect was like the one they visited before: empty and deserted. After searching for quite so ti, they found nothing.
Now that a teleportation array had appeared, he began to suspect that the great powers of ancient tis might have departed from this very spot.
However, how could this teleportation array be activated? Although he knew a bit about formations, teleportation arrays were rather special, with different arrays requiring different activation thods. With his current understanding, he could not decipher such a complex teleportation array.
It must be understood that the great powers of ancient tis were no longer in this space and ti. Could a teleportation array that could traverse space and ti be so ordinary small formation?
"Did the cultivators of ancient tis truly leave Earth and reach a different space-ti?" Suddenly, Zhang Xian beca doubtful.
The inheritances of ancient tis only ntioned cultivation thods and relevant information but left no word about what happened or the outco during that period. Though he had a vague intuition that the cultivators of ancient tis must have left rather than perishing through the clues of the ancient inheritance, he was still unsure when he actually saw the teleportation array.
Beyond the universe, is there another unknown space-ti? What does the scene in that space-ti look like?
"Hey, what are you staring at?"
Fu iting saw Zhang Xian lost in thought and couldn’t help but give him a nudge.
"Let’s go and see other places."
Zhang Xian ca back to his senses, smiled and said, "We’ve been walking around for a while with nothing to show for it. We must keep searching."
"Aren’t we going to handle this teleportation array?" Mo Shaoyun asked, her eyebrows furrowed.
Zhang Xian’s sudden introspection and his changing countenance earlier made her feel that this teleportation array was not simple. The fact that he was keeping quiet further increased her suspicions.
"Let it be."
Zhang Xian shook his head and walked away.
"Hey..."-
When Zhu Qing and Dong Qian saw this, they quickly followed him.
"Teleportation array?"
Zi Yu glanced at the teleportation array once more and, after frowning for a mont, turned and left as well.
Just now, she had noticed Zhang Xian’s abnormal state. However, seeing as he obviously did not intend to share, she didn’t press further.
"Zhang Xian..."
Mo Shaoyun quickly moved forward, walking side by side with Zhang Xian, "Are you hiding sothing from us?"
"No!"
Zhang Xian laughed, "What would I be hiding from you all? Why would I hide sothing from you all?"
"I don’t believe you."
Mo Shaoyun said, "Just now, you were fine, but suddenly you wanted to leave. Isn’t it because sothing happened? Or did you suddenly learn sothing that you can’t tell us?"
