Zong Shen was also quite curious about Hearthstone teleportation.
He had originally planned to repair the Hearthstone Passage near his territory.
After all, it had been an ultra-long-distance transportation method popular during the ancient era.
Its single-use transmission range far surpassed the teleportation arrays used by the natives today.
It could be said that, in terms of ultra-long-distance teleportation technology, the present had undoubtedly regressed considerably compared to the "ancient" past.
However, that might have been related to Hearthstone teleportation's demanding requirements, which made it impossible to implement on a widespread scale.
By comparison, although modern long-distance teleportation arrays had a far shorter range per use, the overall teleportation process was much more stable.
As gray currents appeared, space suddenly began to ripple.
Amid wave after wave of distortions, Zong Shen vaguely saw a straight passage that pierced through the barriers of space.
It was like a line connecting two points.
It folded and pierced space between two points on a plane, bringing their distance infinitely close.
"Let's go!"
Only after the Hearthstone Passage had become somewhat more stable did Uma urge him onward.
Zong Shen gripped the imitation Hearthstone in one hand and her wrist in the other, following her into the passage.
The teleportation process was swift, but the pulling sensation from space was unprecedentedly intense.
That was only because Uma had spread a defensive force field and shielded him from ninety-nine percent of the turbulence.
"We're here!"
With a sharp cry, Uma grabbed Zong Shen in turn and leaped out of the Hearthstone Passage.
The space around Uma flickered like a frame-skipping image.
The escaping spatial fluctuations tore open pitch-black rifts one after another.
They waited in place for a moment. Only after the tearing fluctuations caused by space finally subsided did Uma dismiss the force field
