The Bronze Small Cauldron brimming with dragon aura could not be stored in a storage bag.
Xiao Xiao carried the small cauldron, tied six Jia Ma Talismans to his legs, and became like a wisp of blue smoke as he headed along the mountain ridges toward the world's center—the only confirmed "Order Land."
The reason he used Jia Ma Talismans instead of faster escape lights or Apparition was out of necessity.
After Waghar's dragon skeleton had been removed by the school, its immense mass vanished in an instant, inflicting aftereffects akin to "collapse" or "tearing" upon the Xuanhuang Small World's fragile spatial structure. Countless spatial folds and faults, visible and invisible, large and small, had formed around the world's core region.
They resembled transparent, warped shards of glass embedded irregularly in the fabric of reality. If a wizard rashly used magic involving spatial jumps and accidentally—or rather, most likely—struck one of those spatial folds, the consequences would be unimaginable. Getting "lost" would be the least of it.
With better luck, one might encounter the common phenomenon of "body splitting," where the wizard failed to transport their entire body to the new destination. With worse luck, the spatial folds would be flattened, triggering violent spatial disturbances. The resulting chaotic energy would be enough to tear any insufficiently protected wizard's body into its most fundamental Magic Power particles.
By comparison, Jia Ma Talismans, which relied on physical movement, might lack a bit of immortal flair, but they were the most reliable choice at present.
As long as one's body could withstand it, tying a few more Jia Ma Talismans to one's legs would not make one much slower than escape light or Apparition.
Of course, Jiang Yu, the project supervisor, had also offered everyone another option—she had brought many Furry Dragons from
