Chapter 1698: Chapter 863 Ancient Teleportation Array

Chen Mobai brought Qing Nu to Southstream Market in Cloud County, intending to use the teleportation array there to go to Wind Rain Hamlet.

However, they found that the teleportation array on the Wind Rain Hamlet side was closed.

If it’s closed over there, then it’s impossible to teleport from Southstream Market.

Chen Mobai went to another market in Cloud County, but found the same situation, and quickly realized the reason.

It should be because Luo Xue’er is forming her Core, and Nu Jiang is afraid of unexpected events, so Wind Rain Hamlet is sealed.

Thinking of this, he wasn’t in a hurry, so he decided to ride the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo, taking Qing Nu directly towards Wind Rain Hamlet.

At his current speed, flying from Cloud County to there would only take a few days.

…

When Nu Jiang received a message from Chen Mobai saying he was at the door, he was so shocked his mouth was agape.

“Sect Leader Junior Brother, you came here without notifying me in advance.”

Nu Jiang brought them in, his expression solemn, because in the local mindset, if a Nascent Soul cultivator moves, it certainly means something earth-shattering is about to happen.

At any rate, Nu Jiang couldn’t believe Chen Mobai would make a special trip to Wind Rain Hamlet just for Luo Xue’er’s Core Formation.

“There is something that might involve devil cultivators…”

Chen Mobai didn’t hide it, explaining the situation where Yuji Sanren gathered a group of people to Yun Meng Ze, which shocked Nu Jiang, and he immediately called the disciple responsible for recording the medium transporting formation in Wind Rain Hamlet.

Very quickly, they found the records of Yuji Sanren’s group.

After Luo Xue’er’s Core Formation, they teleported to a place called Zhi Dao, where there is a second order high-grade spirit vein, so the Five Elements Sect set up a market there with a small teleportation array.

Nu Jiang immediately sent disciples over to investigate, and soon after detailed information was relayed back.

The group of Foundation Establishment cultivators led by Yuji Sanren left immediately after arriving at Zhi Dao. Some of them, due to revealing their Foundation Establishment cultivation, were noticed by the disciples on the island, who found that they were heading towards the southern waters.

“Sect Leader Junior Brother, let me take care of this matter, I’ll personally lead a team to investigate.”

Nu Jiang offered to assist; he has been guarding Yun Meng Ze for nearly two hundred years, and knows it like the back of his hand.

“This matter involves devil cultivators, so it’s more prudent for me to handle it.”

Chen Mobai shook his head, having been cautious to this extent, he couldn’t afford to give up halfway.

At this moment, Nu Jiang also shared the good news of Luo Xue’er’s successful Core Formation.

Hearing this, Chen Mobai was very pleased.

Since Luo Xue’er was still consolidating her realm, he didn’t disturb her. After leaving a few words, he took Qing Nu to Zhi Dao first.

Unfortunately, the waters of Yun Meng Ze are vast and boundless; trying to find eleven Foundation Establishment cultivators here is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Fortunately, there was a general direction of their departure and the Longevity Sect’s grand spell, “Water Mirror Reflection”!

Qing Nu is truly a genius; in order to catch up with Chen Mobai, she cultivates very diligently. She has already become proficient in the Longevity Sect’s five grand spells.

A pool of Abyss True Water floated in her snow-white palm, like a circular light. After aligning it in the right direction, she quickly utilized the omnipresent moisture in the void, projecting reflections of everything within a hundred miles, clear and detailed!

Chen Mobai entered the realm of the Guidance Book, analyzing these reflections within the shortest time, pinpointing areas with anomalies in spiritual energy or under the water surface.

He performed void walking to investigate each one, finding that two places were hidden by demonic beasts; he casually cleared them out, then arrived at the third place, discovering a relatively rare Rank-3 Water Fairy Grass, guarded by a Rank-2 demonic beast, which naturally became a dead spirit under his hand.

“Unexpected gain.”

After returning to Qing Nu’s side, Chen Mobai handed her the Rank-3 Water Fairy Grass, which she delightedly placed into the Pure Yang Treasure Cauldron.

“Isn’t it said that cultivators and demonic beasts are fighting every day in Yun Meng Ze, how come there are such good herbs?”

Qing Nu was a bit puzzled about finding Rank-3 herbs just by going out.

“It’s normal, Yun Meng Ze is so vast that it’s equivalent to the entire Eastern Wilderness and Dongwu put together. Although cultivators from both domains together aren’t few, compared to here, they are just a drop in the ocean, only occupying some crucial spirit islands and developing surrounding water resources.”

“For this reason, if the demonic beasts don’t go mad and attack, the two domains previously didn’t have the capability to clean out all the demonic beasts hidden in Yun Meng Ze.”

“Thus, underwater there are still many resources like Water Fairy Grass growing, which is also why the Tianhe Realm is better than the Immortal Gate. As long as one works hard, ordinary cultivators also have the opportunity to find heavenly and earthly treasures and change their fate.”

After hearing Chen Mobai’s words, Qing Nu nodded, then immediately performed the Water Mirror Reflection Art again, starting to inspect the next hundred-mile range.

This time, indeed, she discovered two different precious herbs, along with a group of Alligator Turtle Monsters.

Chen Mobai used the least noticeable Primordial Yang Sword Evil; an orange-red light burst from the sword box, slicing through the water several times soundlessly, chopping the group of demonic beasts into chunks.

“Could it be the wrong direction?”

After three consecutive Water Mirror Reflections, they still hadn’t located any signs of Yuji Sanren’s group, so Qing Nu hesitantly spoke.

“Let’s search a bit more; if it doesn’t work, we’ll investigate carefully after they return to Northern Abyss City.”

Chen Mobai said, expressing that he originally didn’t plan to act, but intended to verify Yuji Sanren’s identity as a devil cultivator first, then let the Jiutian Dangmo Sect handle it.

Qing Nu, upon hearing this, nodded gently.

On the fourth use of the Water Mirror Retrospection Art, Chen Mobai analyzed the reflected universe with the Guidance Book and finally discovered an anomaly in the water’s distortion.

He immediately executed a Void Walk to appear above this water surface.

Soon, he found an illusory array below the water and, after deploying the Void Spirit Eye, quickly discovered it concealed a teleportation array.

After confirming there was no one within the illusory array, he stepped inside.

At the teleportation array’s hub, several unused Spirit Stones were placed, indicating someone had just used it.

Chen Mobai immediately used Echoes in the Void to listen to the lingering power of the Void.

Unfortunately, Echoes in the Void clearly couldn’t directly listen through the teleportation array to what’s on the other side.

To find out where Yu Ji and others went using this teleportation array, he could only follow through after activation to see.

Soon after, Qing Nu arrived as well.

“Shall we teleport?”

When Qing Nu said this, she seemed eager, believing that, as a Nascent Soul Cultivator, her Daoist partner could go anywhere possible in this land.

“Better be cautious. This area once belonged to the Longevity Sect and had produced Ascended Monks like True Lord Yuan; there’s a possibility of being trapped if the other side of the teleportation array is a cave dwelling left by such beings.”

Chen Mobai’s cultivation to this stage was all owed to prudence; even at the Nascent Soul Realm, he took out the Formless Puppet to probe first.

Apart from his own, he even gave Qing Nu a Formless Puppet.

With his current status in the Immortal Gate, gathering materials to refine Formless Puppets required just one call, and upon hearing about his need, Wen Ren Xuewei immediately dropped everything to prepare the most challenging bionic materials.

Because of this, Chen Mobai had an extra Formless Puppet to give to Meng Huang’er.

Moreover, in refining Formless Puppets, aside from personal use, he intended to test if he could elevate them to Rank-4.

This was Che Yucheng’s lifelong wish, and as his disciple, with capability now, he surely had to try.

The newly refined Formless Puppets by Chen Mobai already differed from the original version with added understanding from Yan Xinji’s Puppetry Technique.

However, completing the theory of a Rank-4 Puppet within the knowledge and materials framework of the Immortal Gate remained a long journey ahead.

The Formless Puppet for Qing Nu was considered the current pinnacle of Chen Mobai’s Puppetry Technique.

Except for irreplaceable bionic materials in the Immortal Gate, all other high-grade materials were upgraded here.

And the puppet’s energy core was the Supreme-grade Spirit Stone.

After Qing Nu’s Dividing Mind into Thoughts entered, she immediately felt the power this Formless Puppet could exert was even more formidable than her own body.

Once both were ready, they activated the teleportation array.

Soon, the two puppet incarnations were bathed in a silver glow, but after the teleportation light faded, they still stood in the same spot.

Witnessing this scene, Chen Mobai was slightly taken aback.

As Qing Nu looked on in confusion, he maintained a calm demeanor and used the Guidance Book to thoroughly inspect the teleportation array.

Soon, he discovered the issue.

This teleportation array could only teleport individuals at the Foundation Establishment level or below.

No wonder the group led by Yu Ji was all Foundation Establishment Practitioners.

Understanding this, Chen Mobai quickly devised a solution.

He removed the Supreme-grade Spirit Stone from the puppet core and replaced it with an intermediate grade Spirit Stone.

Now, it emitted only Qi Cultivation fluctuations.

Qing Nu followed suit; of course, they still carried the Supreme-grade Spirit Stones to reinstall after teleporting.

Upon reactivating the teleportation array, the two puppet bodies finally vanished before them in a silver radiance.

…

After passing through the teleportation array, Chen Mobai and Qing Nu found themselves in an underwater world.

A vast, transparent shield, like a dome, enveloped the area, allowing water flow but trapping extensive and majestic spiritual energy.

Chen Mobai gently moved the puppet body, sensing the resistance of the water, and activated the scanning function of the Formless Puppets. The screens soon reflected scenes of schools of fish swimming around vibrant corals in abundance.

The water here was very clear, with coral radiance, forming what seemed like rainbows.

They now stood at the shield’s edge, and in the center, they could see magnificent golden palaces.

“The spiritual energy here is surprisingly Rank-5!”

Qing Nu, using the Formless Puppet’s built-in feature to detect the Spiritual Energy Value, was immensely shocked!
