In Spirit Bamboo Mountain, starlight, like water, fell upon the Star Gate Formation Disk in Jiang Yun's hand.
The array plate is entirely silver-white, with intricate Star Track Patterns engraved on its surface. Inlaid in the center is a crystal that ripples with spatial energy; this is the core of the Star Gate Formation — the Sumeru Star Core Star Core, which is crafted from the purest and most condensed Star Power.
"The Star Gate Formation uses the power of stars as a guide, the Mount Sumeru protective formation as a foundation, and is supplemented by the laws of space to cross thousands of miles." Jiang Yun lightly tapped his fingertip, and strands of starlight spread out from the array plate, transforming into countless intricate runes that slowly merged into the veins of the Spirit Bamboo Valley.
The Three Xiao stood aside, watching Jiang Yun's movements intently.
Bixiao blinked and couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother, after this Star Gate is activated, will we be able to teleport directly from Spirit Bamboo Mountain to Mount Sumeru?"
Jiang Yun smiled slightly, "That's right. As long as there are Star Gate in both places and one possesses Protective Jade Talisman, one can travel back and forth in an instant."
Once you've completed the construction of the Frozen Plains and set up the Star Gate, you can cross the Star Gate from the Frozen Plains to come to my Spirit Bamboo Mountain at any time."
Yunxiao pondered for a moment, "If the Demon Clan were to control the Heavenly Cycle Stars Great Formation, wouldn't it interfere with the operation of the Star Gate?"
Jiang Yun nodded. "That is indeed possible, but that would mean the Demon Clan has blocked the Star Power of the Starry Sky. Currently, we are in a period of cooperation, so there is no need to worry for the time being."
After our Star Gate undergoes several iterations, we will teach this Star Gate Formation to our allies. At that time, we will attract more people to join the Star Gate Network and then put pressure on the Demon Clan to find a way to separate the core permissions of the Star Gate Formation, so that the Demon Clan cannot control it."
However, although Jiang Yun said this, what he was actually thinking was that after the Third Lecture, when the Old Ancestor Hongjun determined the ownership of the six Sainthood, the Demon Clan probably wouldn't dare to cause any trouble in this regard.
As he spoke, he raised his hand and guided the Star Gate Formation Disk to completely merge into the Earth Veins. In an instant, a phantom spatial mark appeared above Spirit Bamboo Mountain. At this moment, this mark was just a spatial marker. It still needed to be connected to the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Star Formation of Spirit Bamboo Mountain. Through the Jieyin power of the Circumference Star Power, Stars portal could be formed, and only then could the teleportation effect be achieved.
"The Star Gate Formation Disk needs to be connected to the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Star Formation to achieve cross-domain teleportation." Jiang Yun muttered to himself, then raised his hand to form a hand seal, and a starlight rune condensed at his fingertips, which he gently touched to the center of the Star Gate Formation Disk through the barrier of the earth.
"Buzz--"
The array plate trembled slightly, and the Star Track Patterns on its surface lit up one by one. The silvery-white light spread out like ripples on water, forming a phantom Star Chart projection.
At the same time, the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Star Formation above Spirit Bamboo Valley also responded, with 365 starlight beams falling and weaving into a huge star net in the valley, reflecting the Star Chart of the Star Gate Formation Disk.
Jiang Yun's gaze sharpened, his hands swiftly forming a hand seal, and he chanted an incantation:
"The stars guide the Celestial Pivot, the formation unites the heavens!"
In an instant, the Star Track Patterns on the Star Gate Formation Disk suddenly expanded, transforming into countless fine starlight threads that extended in all directions, eventually intertwining with the Star Power network of the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Star Formation.
"Boom--"
A dazzling beam of starlight shot up from the array plate, soaring into the Yunxiao and merging with the torrent of Star Power from the Heavenly Cycle Stars Formation.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Yun immediately changed his hand seals, drawing a spatial rune with his fingertips and sending it into the array plate.
"Sumeru can be contained within a mustard seed; the Star Gate opens!"
"Click--"
In the void, at the spatial imprint, an invisible barrier was torn apart, and starlight and Spatial Power intertwined, slowly condensing into a phantom starlight portal above the Spirit Bamboo Valley.
At this time, no other portal Spatial Node have been set up in the Star Gate, and the area in the middle of the portal is still empty!
"It's done!" A hint of joy flashed in Jiang Yun's eyes.
However, the Star Gate trembled slightly as soon as it took shape, seemingly somewhat unstable.
"The Star Power Jieyin is not stable enough..." Jiang Yun frowned slightly, then raised his hand and drew more Star Power from the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Star Formation, continuously injecting it into the Star Gate Formation Disk.
The Star Track Patterns on the array plate became increasingly brilliant, and starlight surged in like a tide, causing the Star Gate to gradually solidify and eventually become completely stable.
"The Star Gate is complete; next, we need to test the teleportation effect."
At this time, apart from Spirit Bamboo Mountain, only Mount Sumeru had set up Star Gate on the Western Land.
Jiang Yun had already memorized the spatial address of Mount Sumeru. He then tried to set the address within the Star Gate. The scenery within the Star Gate changed in a flash, and after it stabilized, the outline of Mount Sumeru could be vaguely seen on the other side.
Jiang Yun took out a Protective Jade Talisman and tossed it gently. The Jade Jue transformed into a stream of light, passed through the Star Gate, and arrived at Mount Sumeru in an instant.
"Transmission successful!"
He nodded in satisfaction, then put away the Jade Jue and turned to the Three Xiao of Sanxiao who were observing from the side, saying:
The connection between the Star Gate Formation Disk and the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Star Formation lies in two key points:
Star Power Resonance: The array plate must be consistent with the Star Power frequency of the Heavenly Cycle Stars Formation; otherwise, a stable spatial channel cannot be formed.
Spatial Anchoring: The Star Gate Formation Disk needs to record the spatial coordinates of the two locations and maintain the stability of the channel through Star Power; otherwise, it is easy to get lost in the Void Turbulence during the teleportation process.
Bixiao's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! Senior Brother, this will make it so much easier for me to come visit you in the future!"
Jiang Yun smiled slightly, "So you have Protective Jade Talisman? The Protective Jade Talisman is the only pass, and only the person in charge is given one. Without the Jade Jue, even the Demon Clan can only interfere with the Star Power, but cannot forcibly open the Star Gate."
Stop thinking about playing all the time and focus on your cultivation. Once you're able to manage a Spirit Land Node on your own, you can use the Star Gate Teleportation!
Qiongxiao and Yunxiao chuckled softly as they listened to Jiang Yun teasing Bixiao, while Bixiao remained stunned.
"Alright!" Jiang Yun finished setting up the Star Gate, teased Bixiao a bit, clapped his hands in satisfaction, and then said to the Three Xiao, "Since you're going to the Frozen Plains to build Spirit Land, why don't you first rotate through the Office in the Spirit Bamboo Valley to familiarize yourselves with the various procedures for managing the Spirit Land?"
Upon hearing this, Bixiao's eyes lit up and she quickly shook off her earlier disappointment. She grinned and leaned closer, saying, "Senior Brother, could you arrange a few capable assistants for us? We're new here, so we need someone to help us out, right?"
Jiang Yun chuckled, "You little rascal, you sure know how to get away with things."
After a moment's thought, he raised his hand and summoned three managers at the early stage of Golden Immortal from the Spirit Bamboo Valley Office — Qingsong, Baihe, and Black Tortoise, all of whom were capable assistants cultivated by Spirit Bamboo Valley for many years.
"These three are familiar with the Spirit Land Construction, so they will stay with you! Once you are familiar with the procedures, they can accompany you to the Frozen Plains."
Bixiao's eyes lit up, and she quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"
Qiongxiao and Yunxiao also thanked them repeatedly.
Jiang Yun then took out three jade slips and handed them to them. "These contain records of the characteristics of the Earth Veins in the Frozen Plains, the distribution of Spirit Materials, and some key points of negotiation with the Northern Sea Dragon Palace. Study them carefully and don't make any mistakes."
I will also make a trip to the Northern Sea Dragon Palace in a few days. I Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the Northern Sea, and ask him to give you more help and relieve some of your pressure.
The Three Xiao accepted the jade slip and solemnly agreed.
Decades later, the Three Xiao had completed their rotations at the Spirit Bamboo Valley Office, gaining considerable knowledge of the affairs of each hall and developing their own insights into many rules.
Bixiao is lively and gets along very well in the Mission Hall and Exchange Pavilion; Yunxiao is meticulous and pays special attention to the operation of the Enforcement Hall and the Web of Luo; Qiongxiao has a lot of experience in managing the Transmission Hall and the Scripture Hall.
Before departing, Jiang Yun specifically reminded them, "The environment of the Frozen Plains is unique, so you need to pay attention to a few things:"
"Firstly, although the Northern Sea Dragon Palace is on good terms with our Western Teachings, the Dragon Clan's glorious past has made their younger disciples somewhat arrogant, having heard too many stories of those deeds. Therefore, we must treat them with courtesy during negotiations and avoid being rash. However, if a real problem arises, we don't need to be too cautious."
"Secondly, there are Ice Spirit Crystal Vein beneath the Frozen Plains. We can cooperate with the Dragon Clan to mine them, but we must reserve a sufficient share and not be greedy."
Thirdly, the Star Gate Formation needs to be set up as soon as possible to facilitate subsequent resource allocation.
The Three Xiao memorized everything, and then, together with Qingsong, Baihe, and Black Tortoise, they rode their Evasion Light and flew towards the Northern Region Frozen Plains.
Jiang Yun watched them leave, then turned to look towards the North Sea, stroking his chin and muttering to himself, "Next, I should visit the Dragon King of the Northern Sea. I heard things aren't going well at the Northern Sea Dragon Palace lately. Let's go see what's going on."
With a flick of his sleeve, he transformed into a streak of starlight and headed straight for the Northern Sea Dragon Palace.
