Chapter 747: Chapter 116: Exploring the Teleportation Array (2)

“First, go to the Central Ten Domains; second, remain in the Ten Thousand Merchants Domain; third, leave the Great Marsh Cultivation Realm.”

These three directions concerned the cultivation plans for his next stage.

In the Central Ten Domains there was the recruitment from Holy Beast Mountain, but also the threat from Beixuan True Monarch; the prospects were shrouded in uncertainty.

As for the Ten Thousand Merchants Domain, if they did not go to Holy Beast Mountain twenty years later, it was unclear whether Holy Beast Mountain would then forcibly demand people.

As for leaving the Great Marsh Cultivation Realm, that was only a tentative idea of his.

Hearing this, Ning Sujin said nothing more.

The Chaos Qi around her body slowly coiled up, intertwining with her Divine Soul.

That Chaos Qi appeared thin, yet carried a mysterious charm that could encompass all things and pierce through the secrets of heaven.

Her eyes slowly closed, and her Divine Sense fully sank into the threads of fate as she began to deduce the fortune and misfortune of the three paths.

The meditation chamber sank into utter silence.

Only the faint sound of Spiritual Qi fluctuations and the soft hum of circulating Chaos Qi remained.

Li Ji’an sat still, waiting patiently.

Divination of the heavens was inherently taxing on the mind, and this time she was divining a path twenty years into the future. If Ning Sujin had not just condensed a Golden Core, making her Chaos Magical Power deeper and nourishing her Primordial Spirit, he would not have asked her to attempt it.

A short while later.

Ning Sujin’s eyelashes quivered lightly.

The Chaos Qi circulating around her grew disordered, and her face turned slightly pale.

She slowly opened her eyes, a lingering heaviness in her gaze.

“How is it?” Li Ji’an asked.

“The Central Ten Domains are still shrouded in mist.”

Ning Sujin spoke slowly, her voice carrying a trace of fatigue.

“I cannot tell whether the secrets of heaven are passively obscured or deliberately concealed. No concrete fortune or misfortune can be glimpsed.”

She paused, then continued, “If we continue to stay in the Ten Thousand Merchants Domain, twenty years from now there will be a great omen of calamity.”

“That omen is extremely strong; it will endanger our very lives. We cannot take it lightly.”

Hearing this, Li Ji’an could not help but raise his brows. This meant that if Ning Sujin did not go to Holy Beast Mountain twenty years later, they would definitely come again.

“As for the third direction, leaving the Great Marsh Cultivation Realm…”

At this point, her expression relaxed slightly. “That, however, is a great omen of auspiciousness.”

“After leaving, though there will be some twists and turns, the road ahead will be broadly open, with no threat to our lives, and an enormous opportunity of heaven awaits us.”

“Oh? An enormous opportunity? Is it because of the prosperous cultivation environment of the Taihao Realm?” Li Ji’an’s fingertip twitched slightly; inwardly, he was rather surprised.

After all, he himself was not certain of any method of departure. He only had such a vision based on Wutong Fairy’s description and the Meng Family ancestor’s last words.

It was just that—how exactly were they to leave the Great Marsh Cultivation Realm?

He pondered for a moment, and two places that might contain a Teleportation Array surfaced in his mind.

“The first place is the underground abyss in the Great Marsh Mountain range of Cangyun State.”

“The large Teleportation Array there, I once saw it together with Duanmu Qin in my second life.”

“Back then, Duanmu Qin left the Great Marsh Cultivation Realm precisely through that Teleportation Array.”

“Unfortunately, later the Earth Dragon flipped over, and the Teleportation Array was dragged into the depths of the Earth Veins.”

“So many years have passed; its traces are long lost. Even if it were found, it is unknown whether it can still be activated.”

“Now, only the last possible place remains.”

He lifted his gaze toward Ning Sujin, his tone firm. “The underground abyss beneath the Floating Immortal City of the Five Blessings Commerce Association.”

The Meng Family ancestor’s suspicion that the old man emerged from the abyss was by no means groundless.

“First stabilize our Realm; this matter has to be planned long-term.”

Ning Sujin withdrew the Chaos Qi around her and spoke softly.

She had only recently advanced to the Early Golden Core Stage; her Realm was not yet fully stabilized.

Just now, divining the heavens had also consumed a great deal of the Power of the Divine Soul; she now needed time to settle and recover.

Li Ji’an nodded in understanding.

He as well needed time to further enhance his trump cards.

After all, once they left the Great Marsh Cultivation Realm, the road ahead would be unknown. Only with sufficient strength could he respond to all unforeseen situations.

In the next five years, Li Ji’an devoted all his energy to strengthening his trump cards.

The Business Alliance’s resources flowed into his Dao Field like an endless stream.

The Nine Tripods Commerce Association and Five Blessings Commerce Association joined forces and swept up most of the Tier Three high-grade Spiritual Materials in the entire Ten Thousand Merchants Domain and surrounding regions, all for his use.

With the help of these rare Spiritual Materials, Li Ji’an successfully forged two new Tier Three Mid-Stage Puppets.

He now possessed four Tier Three Mid-Stage Puppets.

Four strands of Split Soul separated from his Sea of Consciousness and precisely merged into the four Puppets.

After countless drills, he was now able to unleash the full power of the four Puppets.

When the four Puppets acted in concert, the Bloodthirsty Chains wove into a net, enough to suppress or even slaughter an ordinary Late Period Core Formation Ascendant.

In terms of Talismans, he did not slack off either.

The crafting of Tier Three high-grade Spirit Talismans was extremely consuming of effort and time.

The crafting of each Talisman required precise control of Magical Power; the slightest carelessness would ruin all prior work.

Each Tier Three high-grade Spirit Talisman often took him two to three months to complete.

Over five years, he only managed to replenish six Tier Three high-grade Spirit Talismans.

Two Tier Three Dun Tian Talismans, two Tier Three Nine-Heavens True Flame Talismans, and two Tier Three Rift-Sky Talismans with the greatest destructive power.

Each one was a life-saving trump card for desperate situations.

Besides this, the nurturing of the Jade Water Pearl had also made breakthrough progress.

After so many years of nourishment, the Jade Water Pearl had completely adapted to the Wood Magic Power in his Dantian.

Not only could it continuously nourish his Wood Magic Power, making his Middle Stage Core Formation Magical Power ever more dense and refined.

It could also continuously provide pure Water Element Spirit Charm, helping him temper his third Divine Treasure, “Kidney-Water.”

Relying on these Water Element Spirit Charms, Li Ji’an fully devoted himself to tempering the third Divine Treasure, “Kidney-Water.”
