Reading the Situation and Heading to the Central Domain
"Teleportation location, number of people."
"Central Domain, the Earth Spirit Blessed Land."
The cultivators queuing behind were quite surprised to hear about this location, since traveling to the Central Domain ruled by the Earth Spirit Sect was extremely expensive, and no cultivator could afford the teleportation fee anymore.
Just as the other cultivators behind him were anticipating that this arrogant person would be driven away...
However, the Foundation Establishment cultivator managing the teleportation array ignored the expressions of the others and led the Azure Firmament Water Figurine to the central teleportation array.
Just as the guard was about to speak up, he noticed that the Foundation Establishment cultivator was behaving very strangely, as if he were under some kind of control spell. He was about to call for other guards nearby to come and check on him, but before he could even open his mouth, a wisp of wood energy entered his body, and his perception was also controlled and altered. He continued to stand guard expressionlessly.
The cultivators behind them originally intended to report the strange situation at the city lord's mansion.
Seeing the guard's situation, he immediately abandoned the idea and dared not leave. He simply waited quietly for the Foundation Establishment manager to return.
And so, with the other cultivators remaining silent, offering no reminders, and even displaying some schadenfreude, this Foundation Establishment cultivator somewhat clumsily activated the long-unused inter-domain teleportation array.
Unlike ordinary teleportation arrays that connect to other secondary immortal cities, this one uses thousands of mid-grade spirit stones, enough even for distant locations.
The little man from the Azure Firmament Water certainly didn't have that many spirit stones, so the Yin Spirit's thoughts silently modified his charging method, directly drawing spiritual energy from the entire immortal city as his operating energy.
Once activated, the inter-domain teleportation array at its center instantly transformed into a gigantic maw capable of devouring the heavens Earth Devouring, pulling in endless spiritual energy.
The energy concentration, which was originally at level 5 in the immortal city, rapidly decreased, and this energy was far from enough. The magic array frantically drew spiritual energy from the higher concentrations within the restrictions of various buildings, as well as from the spiritual energy in the numerous spiritual fields Mysterious Nether Immortal City.
The concentration of spiritual energy within a thousand-mile radius visibly decreased.
In the city lord's mansion, the city lord Danyuanzi is refining a precious pill that is crucial to enhancing his cultivation.
At this moment, in the center of the spiritually charged room, a round, golden elixir, brimming with infinite wonders, floated amidst the flames of the alchemy furnace.
Just as the precious pill was about to take shape, at such a crucial moment, a tremendous suction force suddenly came from the alchemy room. However, this restriction, which was only at the Core Formation level, was completely unable to stop the Nascent Soul level Nascent Soul from drawing energy across the teleportation array.
"Click~"
Immediately, the originally abundant spiritual energy in this place was rapidly drained, and the original precious pill formula, which was about to take shape, shattered and became useless due to the loss.
Seeing his precious medicine, which he had painstakingly accumulated over 100 years and was about to be refined, destroyed before his eyes, Danyuanzi's eyes turned bloodshot, and his powerful aura as Mid Core Formation spread from the City Lord's Mansion.
Dao God thought was also heading towards the center where the spiritual energy was gathering.
"I want to see that fool who dares to disturb my alchemy. I'll skin him alive, tear his soul apart, and use him as a lamp."
However, as soon as his divine sense touched the Azure Firmament Water Figurine, a fluctuation at the level of a law immediately repelled Danyuanzi's divine sense and was quickly infected and burned.
Danyuanzi, having lost a wisp of divine consciousness, turned pale and felt a sharp pain in his mind.
But he couldn't care less about any of that. He immediately rushed out of the city lord's mansion and looked at that figure.
"This... is Nascent Soul cultivator? I've only ever sensed this aura of law from the sect leader and elders."
"No, it shouldn't be Nascent Soul cultivator. They could simply release their aura to command me to open the inter-domain teleportation array. Why go through all this trouble?"
"Or perhaps a Nascent Soul Nascent Soul from some demonic sect, or even False Nascent Soul cultivator."
At this moment, Danyuanzi's eyes were filled with uncertainty, and various guesses were intertwined in his mind. His original anger and killing intent had completely dissipated, and his mind was unusually clear.
"But I can't afford to offend any of these beings. I should report to the sect leader first; at least I'll have fulfilled my responsibilities as city lord."
He immediately took out a communication jade slip and reported the situation on the ground to the sect leader of the Clear Mysteries Sect.
"Sect Master, there is a cultivator here who appears to be a Nascent Soul cultivator attempting to travel to another major region..."
The little figure of Azure Firmament Water, standing in the center of the teleportation plaza, was not idle either. Instead, it used its Yin Spirit to manipulate the great array here, accelerating the extraction of spiritual energy. Who knows what might happen if it wasn't allowed to slowly recharge?
The energy concentration in Mysterious Nether Immortal City had dropped below 1 point, and many cultivators in their cultivation rooms and caves were awakened by the commotion and came out to investigate in anger.
Seeing that the magnificent array did not resemble the aura of Core Formation, he immediately calmed down and returned home. He activated the protective array and stopped coming out, and even opened some of them completely, allowing the spiritual energy to leak out.
The teleportation array, already 90% charged, was drawing increasing attention. While it wasn't afraid of cultivators at the Core Formation Foundation Establishment stages, it feared the interference of Nascent Soul cultivators, which would ruin all its plans.
Immediately, the little man from the Azure Firmament Water took out four or five storage bags from his body, and a large number of low-grade and mid-grade spirit stones were shattered by him and returned to spiritual energy to continue charging.
"Thank you for your support, kind monks."
95%
97%
Just then, the Avatar sensed a spatial fluctuation coming from high above, as if some powerful being was about to break through space.
Immediately, the little man from the Azure Firmament Water poured out all the spiritual materials and minerals, crushed them to restore their spiritual energy, and immediately accelerated the charging progress.
99%
100%
Immediately, a cross-domain teleportation array appeared, and rays of light enveloped the Azure Firmament Water Figure. Avatar the teleportation array, a power extended to a distant coordinate.
The fluctuations of spatial laws were clearly visible in the Yin Spirit's thoughts, making it much easier than comprehending the "black box" in the blessed land.
There was nothing earth-shattering; a spatial distortion occurred, and the little figure of Azure Firmament Water disappeared from the spot.
Upon witnessing this scene, Danyuanzi and many other cultivators in the city breathed a sigh of relief. This powerful figure they couldn't afford to offend had finally left, leaving only the Mysterious Nether Immortal City, devoid of spiritual energy.
The buildings, which were originally supported by spiritual energy and arrays, were on the verge of collapse. The spiritual fields and herbs outside the city in the distance had lost their Spirituality and withered completely. A large number of spiritual materials and objects were transformed in such a low-spiritual environment, either dropping in quality or simply turning into ordinary mortal objects.
"This immortal city is now ruined."
At this moment, an elderly cultivator with a flowing white beard and an air of otherworldly grace appeared, breaking through the space to arrive at this place.
Danyuanzi couldn't sense any imposing aura emanating from this person, but the fluctuations of the laws were undeniably real.
Danyuanzi quickly stepped forward to pay his respects.
"Disciple Danyuanzi greets the Second Elder."
The Second Elder, Qingzhenzi, looked at the mess on the ground without paying any attention. This immortal city was merely a place to facilitate exchanges between different regions and to harvest resources and spirit stones from other rogue cultivators. Even if it were abandoned, it would be a drop in the ocean for the Clear Mysteries Sect, which ruled and absorbed countless spiritual energies throughout the Southern Domain, and would not cause any major harm.
