Teleportation Formation

Lu Shang left.

He did not slaughter the Po clan's disciples.

He let them flee.

Lu Shang knew that a Core Formation Stage cultivator would hold a relatively important position anywhere in the Human Realm.

Once news of this Core Formation Cultivator's death spread, disaster would inevitably descend upon them.

Even if they faced no danger in the next few years, once the matter came to light, it would only be a matter of time before others in the Inverse Star Alliance held them accountable.

Lu Shang took more than half the Spirit Stones, leaving only a little over a third.

That was already merciful and wise of him. Otherwise, their petty schemes against him alone would have been enough to make them disappear from the Chaotic Star Sea ahead of their time.

By the time he flew out of the Po clan's estate, Lu Shang had made ample preparations for his next seclusion.

That went for both Spirit Stones and medicinal pills.

Lu Shang had no intention of concerning himself with the Guluan Islands any further.

The trouble he had caused had been resolved, so there was no need to keep doing anything pointless.

Improving his cultivation was more important right now.

Lu Shang flew back to the Cave Abode he had prepared beforehand.

After entering, he cast spells again to make the final preparations for his seclusion.

It was much like last time, except that he added a few more formations.

These formations could immediately wake him from seclusion if something unexpected happened.

Lu Shang had good reason to prepare these.

For a cultivator, seclusion was the time when his attention was at its weakest.

If he came under attack, he would certainly find it difficult to evade.

Even though he had taken some measures outside the Cave Abode to conceal it.

Those merely reduced the chances of it being discovered directly.

"Now I can enter seclusion with peace of mind!" Lu Shang said calmly.

Then he went deeper into the Cave Abode, found an open space, and began meditating.

As Lu Shang's cultivation improved, each period of seclusion differed from the last.

He remembered that the first thing he had done upon arriving in this world was find a ramshackle thatched hut, intending to enter seclusion.

But with his extremely poor Spirit Root and terribly low cultivation, he could not possibly devote himself wholeheartedly to cultivating for long.

Back then, only a faint glow shimmered around him as he meditated, but now a crimson light surrounded him.

Moreover, mistlike thunder now swirled around him as he cultivated.

The thunder crackled from time to time.

But back then, Lu Shang had not even had a system and could not accomplish any goals. Besides, he had only just transmigrated-how could he possibly have sat still?

Now, after a hundred years here, his mindset had undergone a fundamental change.

Lu Shang was no longer the youth who asked System Sis about everything.

When Lu Shang next appeared, he was already at the harbor.

Recalling how he had first arrived here, he could not help giving an awkward laugh.

That Teleportation Formation should originally have sent him near Kuixing Island in the Inner Sea, but instead, it had unexpectedly transported him to the Outer Sea.

Thinking back, it might have had something to do with the system, but it was no great problem.

He still had plenty of time.

Before coming to the harbor, however, Lu Shang had obtained a rough map of the Chaotic Star Sea.

Comparing it with his memories, he realized that the place where he had arrived was clearly closer to another inhabited island.

There had been no need at all to spend so much extra time traveling to the vicinity of the Guluan Islands.

But surrounded by the boundless sea, Lu Shang had been completely unable to get his bearings when he first arrived in the Chaotic Star Sea, and so had gone the wrong way.

Nor had he come here to board a mortal ship.

Compared with a cultivator's flight, a ship was far too slow.

Traveling by ship meant being delayed or affected by all sorts of factors.

Lu Shang did not want to be held up.

Besides, his preparations for seclusion had still been too scant.

He had inadvertently stayed in seclusion a little longer than intended, and now he would barely make it to Kuixing Island in time for the festival.

He had only come here because it was relatively close to his Cave Abode.

He had come solely for this map.

Lu Shang studied it several times, then flew into the air and looked around to confirm the direction of the Teleportation Formation.

Then he put the map into the Storage Bag at his waist and headed toward the nearest Teleportation Formation.

Ordinary Teleportation Formations had substantial restrictions.

Generally speaking, the most basic ones were distance and the number of people.

Lu Shang had chosen that particular Teleportation Formation because his observations and deductions suggested it was the most suitable.

There was another Teleportation Formation on an island beside this one.

But Lu Shang suspected that formation could not send him anywhere near Kuixing Island.

Once ready, Lu Shang instantly transformed into a streak of red light and sped toward the Teleportation Formation.

Almost the entire journey was over open water, and he did not see even a single ship.

There were, however, quite a few Demon Beasts in the sea.

Along the way, Lu Shang encountered many groups of Sea Race Demon Beasts.

All those years of stumbling amounted to but a moment!

Lu Shang could not help sighing with emotion!

"If one day I reach the summit, or can no longer improve my cultivation, perhaps I'll find some secluded place, take a wife or a concubine or two, and live in seclusion!"

"When I get bored, I could go down into the sea for a swim, or spend time enjoying myself with my wife and concubines. That would be a lovely life too!"

Looking at the calm sea, Lu Shang could not help making plans for his future.

"Then, when I die, should I leave behind an inheritance?"

"I should be able to live at least tens of thousands of years. By then, my cultivation will surely be the strongest even in the Spirit Realm!"

"The inheritance I leave behind will surely be sought after by everyone, and later generations will surely pass down stories of my deeds!"

At that thought, Lu Shang's old face inexplicably reddened.

Still, he continued toward his destination.

As Lu Shang flew at high speed, the surrounding air collided with the spiritual energy around him, producing explosive cracks.

Several days later, Lu Shang landed on an island.

This was territory under the Star Palace's control.

The island had clearly designated areas for trade, social exchange, and residence.

Lu Shang guessed this was because of the Teleportation Formation.

Having a Teleportation Formation made dealings with other islands much more convenient.

Whether transporting goods or doing anything else, as long as enough people passed through, there was profit to be made.

But Lu Shang had not come to do business.

He was only here to reach Kuixing Island and had no plans for anything else.

If he did have another plan, it was to advance to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible after finishing the Chaotic Star Sea instance, then return and properly settle accounts with the Ghost Spirit Sect.

Whenever he thought of how Wang Chan of the Ghost Spirit Sect had forced him all the way to the Chaotic Star Sea with just two talismans, Lu Shang's expression could not help turning cold.

"Wang Chan!" Lu Shang muttered, anger crossing his face!

But he quickly recovered.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Lu Shang still made a few efforts to disguise himself.

An unknown high-level cultivator appearing at a Star Palace Teleportation Formation in the Outer Sea would certainly cause no small amount of trouble.

Lu Shang then concealed his cultivation, making it appear to be at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"This should spare me some unnecessary trouble."

Then he followed the crowd toward the Teleportation Formation.

Perhaps there were so many people because this was where the Teleportation Formation was located, allowing them to travel elsewhere.

But at that moment, Lu Shang thought of something even more troublesome.

He wanted to go to Kuixing Island specifically for the celebration event.

The troublesome part was that, after he had just told the system his intentions, he had received a shocking piece of news.

"That celebration won't happen for another twelve years! Have you even thought this through?"

Faced with System Sis's mockery, Lu Shang could only accept his defeat.

Wonderful. Forget getting the date wrong-now that he had already reached the Teleportation Formation, he could hardly stay here.

In the end, Lu Shang decided he could only go ahead of time.

He would have to carefully plan out those twelve years.

After all, he had only just emerged from seclusion. He could not possibly go straight back into it.

At worst, he could keep posing as a low-level cultivator and have some fun playing the pig to devour the tiger.
