Yu Lian finally understood that the spatial jumps made by the Sacred Jade weren't completely random.
Based on his past experiments, when he hadn't set up a spatial anchor in advance, there was more than a sixty percent chance it would jump to the place nearby with the densest spiritual energy. For example, a gathering point for zero-element mines. Or a site where supernatural phenomena occurred. Or, for that matter, the largest gathering of phantom-beast species.
Perhaps this could also be explained by the spiritual aggregation effect.
Of course, as a divine artifact meant to save its user's life, the Azure Sky Sacred Jade would create a spatial bubble around him each time he jumped to a new location, so he wouldn't actually get teleported inside a rock and trapped there.
That alone made it far superior to things like force-field jumps or dimensional traversals—the difference was almost impossible to measure. Its effects were every bit as impressive as those of the Blue-grade Void Token. Yu Lian figured that if he took the Azure Sky Sacred Jade apart for a closer look, he might find something the two had in common and perhaps create a new kind of psionic technique that could open a stable spatial passage.
...Of course, he wasn't Yanni. He wasn't rich enough to dismantle a high-grade treasure without so much as batting an eye.
Also, even if he'd set a spatial anchor, other spatial phenomena nearby might cause him to veer off course. Naturally, that depended on the spatial anchor he'd originally set and how stable the transit channel was.
He'd entered the ruins of the Coordination Factory to rescue Major Popas and his "robot" friends, so there hadn't been time to set up a spatial anchor nearby for his escape. And with Count Celiola about
