Chapter 1499: Heavenly Dao Teleportation Array

Yuan Tao should be at the Yuan Clan of the Sages. If it were nearby, borrowing a teleportation array wouldn't be a big issue, but a half-month journey is still a bit too far!

Since he couldn't think of any other method, he thought: If others can build a teleportation array, why can't he build one himself and teleport directly?

"Build a teleportation array?" Chen Leyao was stunned, then shook her head with a bitter smile. "Teleportation arrays can only be built by true nine-star formation masters. It also requires an extremely deep understanding of space. The layout is incredibly complex, demanding extremely precise calculations; even a slight error can lead to a vast deviation."

"I wasn't present when the Glacier Palace's teleportation array was built, but I saw it once during its repair. It took three nine-star formation masters a full three months of calculations just to finalize the layout. It's incredibly difficult! Even if we had sufficient strength and understanding of formations, which we don't, it would still be impossible to complete quickly!"

Long-distance teleportation arrays transport people millions of kilometers away. Calculations must be precise; even a slight error could lead to arriving far from the intended destination. This is why, even with knowledge of how to arrange the formation and sufficient strength, such a device cannot be easily set up successfully. Otherwise, the entire continent would be filled with them, and they wouldn't be so rare, with many people never having even seen one.

"Three months?" Zhang Xuan's scalp tingled. If repairing took that long, building would certainly be even harder. Was there truly no way to quickly get there and save them?

"Precise calculations and pinpoint accuracy certainly require a lot of effort for others, but... I'm different!" After pondering for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up. No matter what kind of formation, setting it up requires calculating directions, adapting to the surrounding environment, and then activating the formation flags...

Normally, others setting up formations spend a great deal of effort, using compasses, making various measurements, and performing calculations based on terrain, environment, and surrounding spiritual energy. But he was different. The Library of Heaven's Path could easily mark any incorrect direction, completely eliminating the need for calculations! If it could do this for other formations, it surely could for teleportation arrays! What others found incredibly difficult might be effortless for him, just like other formations.

"Come on, let's go to the Hall of Wisdom," Zhang Xuan said without hesitation, having realized this. "I'll see if there are any books about teleportation arrays. I'll study them; if I can set up the array, great. If not, we'll think of other ways!"

"Study? Now?" Chen Leyao's face twitched. Setting aside the difficulty of arranging a teleportation array, just considering how profoundly it involves space, learning it now seemed far too late! It would be more reliable to simply leave immediately.

"There's no time to waste, hurry up!" Not wanting to explain, Zhang Xuan led the way out. He had been to the Formation Master Guild in the Hall of Wisdom once before and had been assessed there, so he knew its location very well and immediately flew towards it. Although Chen Leyao couldn't understand his reasoning, she knew it was to save the Young Palace Mistress, so she didn't say much and followed closely behind.

They quickly found Elder Su of the guild. Elder Su had been in charge of Zhang Xuan's eight-star formation master assessment and had personally witnessed Luo Xuanqing's sabotage, so they were quite familiar with each other. "I'd like to see some books about teleportation arrays. Do you have any here?" Zhang Xuan directly stated his purpose.

"Teleportation arrays have always been a research focus of the Saint Son Hall," Elder Su explained. "When Sage Kui was still alive, the Saint Son Hall was renowned as the foremost authority in this area, and they preserved many books. If you wish to see them, I can take you there!" Elder Su nodded. Zhang Xuan's current status as an eight-star master teacher and an eight-star formation master indeed gave him the qualifications to view such books.

"Thank you for leading the way, Elder Su!" Zhang Xuan clasped his fists. Before long, they arrived at the library. After Elder Su pointed the way, Zhang Xuan walked over and indeed saw rows upon rows of books about teleportation arrays, densely packed and countless. The Saint Son Hall had geniuses in various professions. Despite the sophistication of teleportation arrays, many powerful individuals had researched them, resulting in a vast number of methods on how to arrange formations, determine locations, and utilize space. Zhang Xuan nodded secretly, his eyes sweeping across the shelves, taking in numerous books into his mind.

"Correct!" With a thought, a book appeared before him, and he eagerly flipped it open. "Heaven's Path Teleportation Array..." He breathed a sigh of relief. The sheer number of books here was enough to successfully form Heaven's Path-level array arrangement methods. With a touch of his finger, the knowledge entered his mind, seamlessly integrating with his previous understanding of formations. He had already finished reading all the level eight formations, and his understanding of formations was comparable to that of an early-stage nine-star formation master. Coupled with having learned the third level of the Expansional Void Heaven's Path Manual, even though teleportation arrays were profound, they held no great secrets for him anymore.

In a short time, he completely understood. Without bothering to look at other books, he stepped out and found Elder Su again. "Elder Su, do you happen to have any level nine formation flags? May I borrow them?" Teleportation arrays capable of transporting people are level nine formations and require level nine formation flags to be set up.

"Level nine formation flags? No!" Elder Su shook his head. He was only an eight-star formation master; how could he possibly have such advanced formation flags?

"Does anyone in the Saint Son Hall have flags of that level?" Zhang Xuan asked. "Acting Hall Master Zhan Shi should have them... As for others, I'm not sure!" Elder Su said after thinking for a moment.

"Zhan Shi?" Zhang Xuan nodded. He had met Zhan Shi once before; this person had taken him to the inner court and was the Acting Hall Master of the Saint Son Hall. His cultivation had reached Saint 9-dan, making him the strongest, and indeed, only he would be qualified to possess level nine formation flags. Even if others obtained them, they likely wouldn't have the power to control them. The Saint Son Hall used to be very glorious, with many true nine-star master teachers. However, without a Hall Master to lead them, it had weakened considerably.

"Thank you, Elder Su. Do you know where the Acting Hall Master is now?" Understanding, Zhang Xuan inquired. "He should be in the Hall Master's Quarters. You can go directly there to find him!" Elder Su smiled slightly.

"Alright!" Relieved, Zhang Xuan exchanged a few words with Chen Leyao, then leaped and flew towards the Hall Master's Quarters. Just as he took off, he suddenly felt a chill all over. While airborne, he quickly contracted his body and shifted half a foot directly away. *Rip!* No sooner had he done this than he felt the space where he had just been torn open. A sword mark streaked through the air, striking the ground and leaving a huge crater. "I'm going to kill you..." Immediately after, a roar exploded nearby. Hearing this voice, Zhang Xuan was startled and quickly turned his head. He then saw a young man floating not far away, his eyes filled with fury. "Luo Xuanqing, what's wrong with you?" His face sinking, he couldn't help but shout.
