Xiao Fan had originally thought he would only need an instant to teleport to the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
He had never expected the array to have such a drawback.
Xiao Fan was already a Dou Zun expert. Even though this array would take him from the Central Plains to the Jia Ma Empire, as long as he paid enough Source Coins, the teleportation itself would still happen in an instant.
Unfortunately, while teleportation took only an instant, constructing the array did not.
The Jia Ma Empire lay in an extremely remote corner of the northwestern Dou Qi Continent, where both the Dou Qi in the air and all other forms of energy were much thinner.
That was why Dou Zong who could easily tear through space in the Jia Ma Empire seldom managed the same feat in the far more prosperous Central Plains.
The prosperity of the Central Plains was not reflected in its people alone.
Its Dou Qi and spatial force were also far more abundant.
Abundant spatial force made space exceptionally stable, so tearing it apart required greater power. Thus, if the Dou Zong here went to the Central Plains, very few could tear through space at will unless they were true geniuses or possessed extraordinary combat strength.
This also showed just how scarce energy was in the Northwest Continent.
