Chapter 1347: Ancient Teleportation Array
Translator: CinderTL
"Gou... Ji Yin. Do you remember Qiuyue mentioning the Western Rong Continent and the Willow Serpent Clan before?"
Bai Wei glanced shyly at Song Wen as she spoke, seemingly still adjusting to his new title and nearly mispronouncing it.
Seeing Bai Wei deliberately change the subject, Song Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Of course I remember."
Bai Wei continued, "The Willow Serpent Clan’s Yaoguang Lotus can defy fate and reshape a cultivator’s spirit root, potentially resolving your predicament of having an inferior spirit root. Several years ago, certain events occurred related to the Western Rong Continent. I believe you should be informed."
Song Wen’s eyes lit up with sudden interest.
"Please elaborate, Fellow Daoist."
Bai Wei explained, "The Western Rong Continent and our Eastern Profound Continent were originally connected by a Teleportation Array. However, the array was lost at some point, severing all contact between the two regions. About thirty years ago, the Azure Flame Sect in Crimson Cloud Province discovered an ancient ruin containing what appears to be a Teleportation Array leading to the Western Rong Continent. Unfortunately, the formation is damaged beyond repair and cannot be used."
"The Azure Flame Sect has been trying to repair the Teleportation Array, but despite years of dedicated effort, they’ve made no progress. In desperation, they sought external assistance. Twelve years ago, they approached the three great sects of the Southern Nether Continent. Intrigued by the matter, all three sects dispatched their formation masters, and I was among them. Oh, and Yuanrong, the one who issued the bounty for you, was also there."
Song Wen’s heart stirred slightly.
Twelve years ago... that was exactly when I made my infamous raid on the Wu Clan!
Bai Wei’s words inadvertently resolved a lingering question in his mind.
Yuanrong had offered a million spirit stones for his capture for one of two reasons: either to avenge Jian Xiao or to seize the Nine Calamity Heaven-Measuring Sword—or perhaps both.
Yet Yuanrong hadn’t appeared during Song Wen’s raid on the Wu Clan, missing a golden opportunity.
Now it seemed Yuanrong had been in Crimson Cloud Province all along, far from the Southern Nether Continent, explaining why he couldn’t pursue Song Wen.
Crimson Cloud Province lay north of the Southern Nether Continent.
Continuing north from there would lead to Candle Dragon Province.
And north of Candle Dragon Province lay Azure Wutong Province.
The Evil Cloud Mountain Range, where the Divine Blood Gate was located, stretched across Azure Wutong Province.
"How’s the formation repair progressing?" Song Wen asked.
Bai Wei shook her head gently. "It’s still not repaired. However, after extensive discussions among numerous formation masters, we’ve devised some viable plans. The Azure Flame Sect is currently testing them, and perhaps one day they’ll succeed. When that happens, if you wish to travel to the Western Rong Continent, I can arrange for you to use the Teleportation Array."
"Then I thank you in advance, Fellow Daoist," Song Wen said solemnly, rising from his seat and clasping his hands in a formal bow.
Regarding the prospect of traveling to the Western Rong Continent to seek the Yaoguang Lotus, Song Wen felt both drawn and hesitant.
After all, the Western Rong Continent was a demon-dominated land, fraught with peril. Moreover, the Yaoguang Lotus was a treasure of the Willow Serpent Clan—hardly something easily obtained.
Yet, if he couldn’t resolve the deficiency in his innate spiritual root, his future cultivation path would be fraught with insurmountable obstacles.
The Great Ascension Stage and the Tribulation Crossing Stage, in particular, would become impassable chasms.
Without reaching the Tribulation Crossing Stage, the so-called pursuit of immortality and boundless freedom would remain nothing more than the delusional fantasies of a madman. His current, seemingly formidable cultivation would be nothing but a fleeting illusion, destined to vanish like a mirage.
Of course, he had another path: to break through his bottleneck by devouring the cultivation of members of the Divine Blood Gate.
However, this path was equally perilous.
When advancing to the Body Integration Stage, he had only managed to devour Wei Gu’s cultivation because Jian Xiao and Wei Gu had both been severely injured in their battle. Even when he had planned this scheme, he had already prepared for failure.
Moreover, even if he managed to devour a Great Ascension Stage cultivator when breaking through to that stage, where would he find someone to devour when advancing to the Tribulation Crossing Stage?
Setting aside the terrifying power of Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivators, even encountering one was an exceedingly difficult task.
Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivators were the apex of power in this realm. They would only reveal themselves if something piqued their interest.
Song Wen found himself torn. Fortunately, the journey to the Western Rong Continent was unlikely to materialize soon, giving him time to consider his options.
"Ji Yin," Wang Qiuyue suddenly spoke, "I also plan to travel to the Western Rong Continent. Perhaps we could journey together."
"If I could travel with Fellow Daoist Wang, I would be most honored," Song Wen replied with a smile.
Wang Qiuyue glanced at the dishes on the round table and continued.
"Ji Yin, Bai Wei promised us such a great favor, and you’re trying to fob us off with this? Hurry and have the Moon Embracing Pavilion bring out their signature dishes!"
"A minor matter, Fellow Daoist Wang. Please wait a moment."
Song Wen retreated from the room.
Moments later, he returned with several servants carrying trays laden with fine cuisine.
Soon, the four were seated around the table, raising their cups in toasts.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Song Wen produced a jade slip and handed it to Bai Wei.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, Fellow Daoist Wang, do either of you possess the spiritual materials listed in this jade slip?"
The jade slip contained a list of spiritual materials required to construct the Imperial Thunder God’s Sacrifice Platform, though it only represented a small portion of the total materials needed.
Song Wen had killed many cultivators from various sects and families, accumulating a collection of rare spiritual materials. Additionally, some of the less rare materials could be purchased directly from the market.
Bai Wei accepted the jade slip and examined its contents. Her brow furrowed slightly.
"Ji Yin, the spiritual materials you require are all extremely rare. I only have the glazed crystal on hand. However, our sect’s treasury should contain the majority of the materials you need."
"Then how can I obtain spiritual materials from your sect?" Song Wen asked.
Bai Wei replied, "These precious spiritual materials have been accumulated by the Spirit Jade Palace over many years and are not easily traded with outsiders. Only the sect elders are qualified to purchase them, and they must expend sect merit points to do so."
The Spirit Jade Palace’s sect merit points are earned by disciples through completing sect missions and making special contributions. These points can be exchanged for cultivation resources, cultivation techniques, or secret arts.
"This..." Song Wen was momentarily at a loss.
Bai Wei continued, "I could use my own merit points to help you purchase these Spirit Herbs. However, I fear my points may not be sufficient..."
At this point, she turned to Wang Qiuyue.
"Elder Wang, would you... be willing to assist us?"
