After a night of reflection, although the worry and gloom that had lingered on Cai Mei'er's face due to Yan Shaozhe's matter were still difficult to completely dispel, as the leader of the Shrek Academy, she knew what was most important at this moment.
She forced herself to stay alert, her gaze regaining some of its usual composure, and whispered to the four people behind her, "Let's go, everyone, cheer up."
Upon hearing this, Bei Bei, Wang Yan, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao all straightened up, nodded silently, and followed closely behind Cai Mei'er.
The five of them walked along the passage to the majestic base of the Spirit Pagoda, then climbed the steps and stepped into the wide-open gate of the Spirit Pagoda.
Stepping inside the Spirit Pagoda, the five of them felt a sudden sense of openness and their eyes lit up. They thought to themselves that there was truly a hidden world inside.
The scene inside the tower was completely different from what they had imagined. The interior space was extremely spacious, and the light did not come from the windows, but from countless soft Soul Guidance Lamp embedded in the walls and dome, illuminating the entire first floor as if it were daytime, yet without being glaring.
The air is fresh, carrying a faint scent of energy that invigorates the spirit.
The Spirit Pagoda has nine floors and adopts a classic tower structure, with the area decreasing as you go up. Therefore, the first floor has the largest space.
At this moment, although it has already accommodated hundreds of spectators from various factions, it does not feel crowded at all.
All eyes turned to the most central location inside the tower.
There, there is a circular platform surrounded by "caution tape".
The crowd now stood silently around the circular platform, all their attention focused on it.
The platform's surface was not flat; instead, it was engraved with countless complex and dazzling patterns.
Everyone was secretly wondering what magical role this obviously extraordinary circular platform would play in the upcoming Soul Spirit fusion ceremony.
Soon, all the forces that received the invitations sent representatives into the Spirit Pagoda, according to the quota of five people.
Roughly estimated, these people number around 580, encompassing almost all the well-known Soul Master factions on the continent.
At that moment, the two heavy metal doors slowly closed with a low rumble.
Kong Xuan's voice rang out clearly once again throughout the entire first floor, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
"I apologize for keeping you all waiting. Next... we will be heading to the true place of Soul Spirit fusion."
These words immediately stirred up a noticeable commotion in the crowd, with low murmurs rising like a tide.
"The true place of fusion? It's not here."
"What is this round platform for?"
"Are we going somewhere else?"
Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire stepped forward from the crowd and asked the question that had been on everyone's mind, " Pagoda Master Kong, do you mean that the Soul Spirit fusion ritual is not performed here?"
Her voice, amplified by her Soul Power, carried clearly, instantly silencing the previously noisy discussions. Everyone held their breath, awaiting Kong Xuan's answer.
Kong Xuan stepped forward, a faint, expected smile on his face, " Princess Jiujiu asks a good question. Soul Spirit fusion naturally requires Soul Beast, but everyone, besides us, is there a Soul Beast here?"
An impatient elder from the Heavenly Dragon Sect couldn't help but press, "If that's the case, then where are we headed next?"
Kong Xuan glanced at the Heavenly Dragon Sect elder who had asked the question, and replied calmly, with an air of matter-of-fact certainty, "Naturally, we should go to the place with the most Soul Beast."
Where are the most Soul Beast?
These few simple words instantly brought the same name to the minds of the vast majority of people present— Star Dou Great Forest!
However, this answer only confused everyone more.
They were currently in Mingdu, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire, which was more than ten thousand miles away from the Star Dou Great Forest!
Does this mean that all these hundreds of people present must travel a long distance, crossing the continent to reach the Star Dou Great Forest, just to attend the ceremony?
If that's the case, why not just set the viewing location at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest from the beginning?
This was almost the shared thought in the minds of the vast majority of people inside the tower at that moment.
When Cai Mei'er heard "the place with the most Soul Beast," she immediately thought of the Spirit Pagoda branch tower built on the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, which was "funded" by the Shrek Academy!
In an instant, she felt that things weren't that simple.
She couldn't help but ask, "Master Kong... Pagoda Master Kong?"
She hesitated slightly, but still chose the more formal form of address.
Because she knew very well that from this day forward, Kong Xuan's identity would be completely different.
He was no longer just a gifted student, but the founder of the Spirit Pagoda and the creator of the Soul Spirit System!
"Do you... have a way to get us to the Star Dou Great Forest quickly?"
Kong Xuan thought to himself, "As expected of an elite from the Shrek Academy, their thinking is really quick."
He stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "That's right. Although Mingdu is thousands of miles away from the Star Dou Great Forest, I have my own methods and can arrive in no time."
As he spoke, he parted the crowd and slowly walked to the edge of the circular platform, which was surrounded by people and engraved with countless mysterious patterns.
He extended his finger and gently tapped the platform flowing with silver energy; the sound clearly echoed throughout the entire hall.
"This is Teleportation Array developed by my Spirit Pagoda. Even if the distance is tens of millions of miles, one can arrive instantly!"
Teleportation Array!
Although this was the first time anyone present had heard this term, as the name suggests, it was a magic array capable of spatial teleportation!
If you heard this elsewhere, you might scoff at it as nonsense.
But at this moment, inside the Spirit Pagoda, which gathers the top forces from across the continent, no one doubted that the founder Kong Xuan, was speaking nonsense after he made the announcement himself.
Therefore, the moment Kong Xuan finished speaking, the entire first-floor hall fell into a deathly silence!
Immediately, a chorus of suppressed gasps and gasps of surprise rose and fell!
Everyone's face was filled with utter shock and horror!
Traveling thousands of miles, arriving in an instant?!
What an incredible ability! This completely exceeds their understanding of Soul Tool, and even the abilities of Soul Master!
This is almost divine power!
The " Teleportation Array " that Kong Xuan spoke of, which was enough to overturn the continent's understanding, was naturally not something he could have developed on his own.
Even as a time traveler with a vision beyond his time, the profound and complex spatial laws and applications involved were far beyond his current cultivation and knowledge to handle independently.
This groundbreaking masterpiece naturally originated from Electrolux, who came from the Holy Demon Continent, within his Sea of Consciousness!
This Holy Necromancer, the Scourge of the Undead, with his profound understanding of the nature of magic and his vast knowledge, fundamentally transformed and reconstructed the teleportation arrays on the Holy Demon Continent that originally relied on magical energy, making their core driving energy compatible with the Soul Power commonly possessed by Soul Master in this world!
This Teleportation Array array will surely become a great product that changes the continent, just like the Soul Spirit!
Just as everyone was still immersed in the shock brought by the concept of Teleportation Array, Kong Xuan's voice rang out again, pulling their thoughts back to reality.
"Furthermore, I must inform you that this Teleportation Array can only reliably transport a maximum of about fifty people at a time."
Before he finished speaking, he had already taken a step and steadily stepped onto the round platform in the middle of the crowd.
He turned around, his gaze sweeping over the crowd below with their varied expressions, and asked loudly, "So, now... who is willing to join me on this first teleportation journey?"
