All eyes were now fixed on Kong Xuan, trying to glean more information from the seemingly relaxed smile on his face.
Although reason told them that since Kong Xuan dared to personally step onto this newly activated Teleportation Array, his safety must be guaranteed to a certain extent.
However, Kong Xuan was ultimately a member of the Sun Moon Empire, which inevitably aroused suspicion and vigilance from many forces.
What if the other end of the Teleportation Array isn't the Star Dou Great Forest, but rather an encirclement prepared by the Sun Moon Empire's most elite Soul Engineer Corps?
Wouldn't that be like walking into a trap, handing over one's own core members to the tiger's den?
For a moment, all sorts of conspiracy theories swirled in everyone's minds, plunging the scene into an eerie silence and entanglement, with no one daring to take the first step.
Just then, a clear and firm voice rang out, breaking the silence.
Shrek Academy is willing to be among the first to be teleported!
The one who spoke was Cai Mei'er, the current leader of the Shrek Academy!
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Cai Mei'er led the four members of Shrek onto the Teleportation Array.
Compared to the concerns of other forces, Shrek Academy, which had personally participated in the construction of a Spirit Pagoda, clearly had a deeper understanding and trust in the technological foundation of the Spirit Pagoda and Kong Xuan's reputation.
With the Shrek Academy taking the lead, other forces followed suit without further hesitation.
Soon, all fifty spots were filled, and representatives from various factions gathered on the Teleportation Array array platform, their expressions a mixture of tension and barely suppressed excitement and anticipation.
Kong Xuan's gaze swept over the assembled crowd. Without further delay, he shouted in a deep voice, "Activate the formation!"
At his command, Kong Ling and several other core members of the Spirit Pagoda, who had been waiting nearby, immediately stepped forward.
They each went to the silver metal pillars that had quietly risen around the Teleportation Array array platform, each engraved with dense runes, and simultaneously poured their pure Soul Power into them!
On the circular platform, the mysterious patterns that had been slowly flowing with a faint light suddenly became bright, as if they had been infused with Life.
The silver light spread and connected rapidly along the predetermined trajectory, forming a complete and dazzling giant light array in the blink of an eye!
A very obvious spatial fluctuation suddenly spread outwards from the Teleportation Array array!
As Kong Ling and the others continued to pour their Soul Power into the space, the spatial fluctuations became increasingly intense, and the light on the circular platform became even more blazing, like a silver sun rising from the ground, so bright that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes!
At the instant when energy accumulates to a certain critical point...
"Boom!!!"
An incredibly thick silver beam of light, carrying immense spatial power, shot fiercely into the sky from the center of the Teleportation Array, instantly engulfing the fifty figures standing within it!
All that remained in the eyes of the onlookers was that pure, brilliant silver!
The next moment, the pillar of light that shot into the sky suddenly contracted and dissipated, just as it had when it appeared.
The blinding light on the circular platform quickly dimmed, returning to its previous slow, flowing state.
Kong Xuan, the Shrek Devils, and representatives of other factions, who were originally standing on the Teleportation Array, totaled fifty-one people...
They've vanished without a trace!
Apart from Kong Xuan, who had experienced it many times before, this was the first time for everyone else on the platform to "ride" Teleportation Array.
As for the experience... well, there wasn't anything particularly special about it.
There was no dizzying sensation as I had expected, nor any excruciating feeling of being torn apart by space. I simply felt my vision blur as my eyes were filled with intense silver light.
When everyone's vision quickly returned to normal, and they subconsciously looked around, many people showed expressions of surprise and confusion.
The surroundings... seem to still be inside the Spirit Pagoda?
However, the hundreds of people who were originally inside the tower have now disappeared, and the surrounding area appears empty and quiet.
However, Cai Mei'er immediately noticed the abnormality.
She quickly scanned the entire tower and found that it was smaller than the first floor of the main tower of the Mingdu Spirit Pagoda Tower!
Clearly, she had confirmed that this was the Spirit Pagoda that Star Dou Shrek Academy had built on the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest!
The gates of the Spirit Pagoda Pagoda's branch tower were already open, and fresh air, carrying the fragrance of grass and trees and a faint dampness, rushed in, completely different from the air in Mingdu that carried the metallic and Soul Tool energy aura.
Many impatient people had already quickly stepped off the teleportation platform and rushed out of the door.
As their vision was filled with the boundless, lush vegetation brimming with primal Life, and as the distant, faint cries of Soul Beast and the chirping of birds reached their ears...
The last shred of doubt vanished completely!
In the blink of an eye, they traversed countless mountains and rivers, arriving at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest from the capital of the Sun Moon Empire!
Exclamations and sighs of wonder echoed inside and outside the tower as everyone gazed at the vast and dangerous forest before them, their feelings a complex mix of emotions.
Kong Xuan ignored the shock and discussion of the crowd behind him. He walked straight down the Teleportation Array and came to Ji Juechen, who had been waiting there.
He strode up to Ji Juechen, and without any pleasantries, asked directly, "How are the preparations going?"
Ji Juechen maintained his perpetually cold and hard expression. He nodded slightly, his voice low and steady. "Everything is ready."
Soon, the remaining hundreds of spectators inside the main tower of the Mingdu Spirit Pagoda also stepped onto the magical Teleportation Array in batches.
The reactions of each new group of people who arrived were almost identical to those of the first group—they all looked like they had never seen anything like it before.
However, Kong Xuan's demonstration of his skills only made them more interested in the subsequent Soul Spirit fusion ceremony.
Some were already impatient, shouting to Kong Xuan, " Pagoda Master Kong, we've seen this Teleportation Array; it's truly a Tongtian feat! When will the Soul Spirit fusion ceremony finally begin?"
Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan smiled calmly, his gaze sweeping over the anxious faces before him, and said loudly, "Please be patient, everyone. Now that we're here, the show... is about to begin!"
After saying this, everyone saw that Kong Xuan made no other move, but simply produced an object in his hand.
It was a palm-sized, completely black, and seemingly inconspicuous piece of iron.
However, some insightful people in the crowd immediately recognized that what Kong Xuan held in his hand was not some "iron sheet," but clearly a dragon scale!
As Kong Xuan infused his Soul Power, a distinctly extraordinary aura, though not strong, rose from the dragon scale.
Those who could sense this aura almost instantly understood that the owner of this scale was definitely not simple; it was probably Ferocious Beast.
At that very moment, on the other side of the group, the space itself stirred again!
It wasn't the orderly energy flow seen when Teleportation Array is activated, but rather a more primal and brutal spatial tearing!
The violent spatial fluctuations rippled outwards like waves on water, before anyone could even react to this sudden turn of events...
"Boom!"
A terrifying pressure, as vast as an abyss and as heavy as a mountain, descended from the sky without warning!
In an instant, everyone present changed their expressions drastically. Soul Master with cultivation levels below Soul Emperor even had their legs go weak and could not even stand up!
Even powerful figures at the Soul Saint and Soul Douluo levels felt their blood churning and their Soul Power sluggish, forcing them to exert all their Soul Power to barely resist this invisible pressure.
Those powerful individuals who had reached the level of Titled Douluo endured their discomfort and looked towards the source of the pressure.
At that moment, the space beside Kong Xuan was forcibly torn open like a fragile piece of cloth, and a tall and burly figure stepped out out of thin air!
The newcomer was dressed in a seemingly simple black robe and had an extremely robust physique.
He casually clasped his hands behind his back, his long black hair cascading down to his shoulders, with only a striking strand of golden hair falling across his forehead, swaying with the invisible aura surrounding him.
Those deep eyes swept calmly over the crowd who were stunned as if struck by lightning, with an indifferent air of looking down on the world.
