The Strange Teleportation Array

The next moment, they found themselves in a small plaza.

It stood before an enormous palace. Both the paving and the palace were a somber gray, ancient in appearance and simple in construction.

Drawing soft breaths, they stepped through the entrance and looked curiously into the palace.

The palace was vast, but its interior was completely empty save for a few black columns standing in lonely silence.

Abstract patterns covered the columns, faintly giving off weak, elusive fluctuations of mysterious power.

They approached the foot of the nine steps leading up to the enormous, black-crystal-like throne at the head of the hall. Invisible spatial fluctuations spread outward, instantly warping and blurring the space around the seat.

Rumble...

Amid a low rumbling, the nine steps before them began to shake, slowly splitting down the middle to reveal a stairway descending underground.

They casually scanned either side. Chen Hua had descended only a few steps when his gaze sharpened and he stopped in his tracks. He stared blankly at an earthen-yellow crystal bottle resting on an ancient lamp holder on the wall beside him. Broad at both ends and narrow in the middle, it resembled the bowl of a glazed lamp.

A dazzling speck of earthen-yellow light shone within it like a wick. Most importantly, it was an innate Supreme Treasure.

Hiss...

A faint sound rose, and dazzling earthen-yellow light illuminated their surroundings.

They found themselves in an underground hall a little over a dozen zhang in length and width.

An intricate circular array diagram covered roughly two-thirds of the floor at the center of the hall.

At the center of the diagram lay a pitch-black opening resembling a black hole, about a zhang across. No one knew where it led.

A teleportation array diagram? Everyone recognized its purpose at first glance.
