"Lord Lin, Lady Zi Yan, this Teleportation Spirit Array leads directly to a city on the outskirts of Dragon Battle Palace. That city is called Shiqu City, an important northern gateway of our Dragon Battle Palace. From there, after a few more teleportations, we can leave the Northern Domain by the fastest route."
The speaker was Xia Jia. Her voice possessed an innate softness, yet it did not sound frivolous. Instead, it carried the capable polish of someone adept at handling every situation.
As Xia Jia spoke, she pointed toward the Spatial Crystal Core at the center of the array and explained, "Shiqu City is the largest transit city along the essential route from the Northern Domain to the Western Region. There is a large Teleportation Spirit Array there. Once we arrive, we can directly activate the teleportation array leading to the border of the Western Region, saving more than half the journey. If we traveled by flight, it would take at least several months to reach the Western Region's border from the Northern Domain. But with teleportation arrays, we can reach the outskirts of the Far Western Icefields in half a month at most."
Lin Ming nodded, his gaze sweeping over the Teleportation Spirit Array.

Lin Ming withdrew his gaze, exchanged a look with Zi Yan, and said, "Then let's go."

Then Lin Ming and Zi Yan stepped forward together and entered the center of the Teleportation Spirit Array's platform.
The spatial runes on the array suddenly lit up. Blue light converged from the platform's edges toward its center
