Chapter 325 Starry Sky Teleportation
Chapter 325 Starry Sky Teleportation
"No problem." Du Fan nodded with a smile, then his expression shifted, and he asked, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, are there any water-attribute spells of the group attack type among these stars?"
"A group attack? And it's water-based... I'm afraid not." After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yun shook her head.
"Metal or earth element spells will also work," Du Fan added after a moment's thought.
"If it's earth element... there is a minor elemental spell called Earth Spike Technique."
I once saw someone use this technique. When this technique is mastered to the third level, the earth within a radius of ten feet around the person rolls and forms a depression. At the same time, countless earth spikes emerge from the ground, causing a large-scale attack.
"However, this spell looks terrifying, but its actual attack power is not high. Even at level three, it can only kill cultivators below the fifth level of the Qi Refining stage. If facing an opponent of the same level, the destructive power of this spell can be basically ignored." Xiao Yun pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.
"Yes, I understand. Although this technique has some drawbacks, it is still quite good when used in specific situations."
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, which star contains this spell? Would you please enlighten me?" Du Fan nodded. Regardless of whether this spell would be useful to him, he planned to memorize it first, since opportunities to learn spells for free were rare.
"If I remember correctly, it should be that one." Xiao Yun didn't try to refuse. She looked up at the starry night sky, thought for a moment, and then suddenly pointed to one of the stars.
"Okay, thank you!" Du Fan thanked him and then wasted no more time. He immediately sent out a wisp of divine thought, which directly entered a star that seemed extremely far away but was actually tens of feet high.
After a short while, Du Fan had memorized all the fragments of the cultivation technique in that star. He figured that he would be able to accurately deduce and piece together a mere set of minor Five Elements spells in no time.
However, this was not the time to do such things. After quickly noting it down, Du Fan looked at Xiao Yun again and smiled, "Does your organization have any Buddhist or Taoist body techniques, or cultivation methods for the fusion of Dharma and body?"
"I may disappoint Brother Du, but there are probably very few Buddhist and Taoist cultivators in the entire Earthly Fiend Islands. Even if there are, they were captured by accident from the Nine Provinces Continent. There are no Buddhist or Taoist masters among them."
Therefore, the idea of returning to one's roots and the practices of Buddhism and Taoism are completely unrelated, which is why our organization has never collected any Buddhist or Taoist cultivation methods.
As for the so-called Body Fusion Technique… Brother Du, it’s not that I’m trying to deny it, but our organization doesn’t emphasize body training at all, so this kind of technique doesn’t exist.” Xiao Yun gave a wry smile and shook her head.
"Oh, is that so? It's alright. Then... do you have the Black Mist Divine Power that Fellow Daoist Xiao cultivates here?" Du Fan didn't press the matter further, but nodded with great regret. Then, as if he had thought of something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly asked.
"Black Mist Divine Power... what does that mean?" Xiao Yun was taken aback.
"During the battle, you repeatedly summoned black mist to transform into a sea of mist for combat, and even condensed a pitch-black divine chain from the sea of mist, which was truly formidable."
"Oh, and another thing is that this black mist can envelop oneself, thus concealing one's form and even one's aura to the extreme. It's far more profound than my own concealment artifacts." Du Fan described with great enthusiasm.
"So Brother Du was referring to the Illusionary Mist Technique. This technique is a fairly common secret art within the Fallen Leaves Return to Roots system, and it is very suitable for us assassins to cultivate. It is not a particularly secretive technique."
However, there are certain requirements for cultivating this secret technique. These requirements are not related to spiritual root attributes, but rather require undergoing a special ritual called "Returning to the Roots" to cleanse the marrow before one can cultivate it.
"Of course, Brother Du, if you're interested, I won't hide anything from you. That star contains the Illusionary Mist Technique." Xiao Yun suddenly realized, smiled slightly, and then explained a few words to Du Fan before pointing to the starry sky.
"Thank you." Du Fan didn't say much, and directly sent out his divine sense to begin memorizing.
And so, in the time that followed, as long as Du Fan was interested in any cultivation technique that existed in this starry sky, Xiao Yun would patiently guide him one by one. After four or five hours, Du Fan had silently memorized more than thirty cultivation techniques and secret arts.
In fact, among these cultivation techniques, Du Fan could only immediately cultivate a few. He simply thought that it would be foolish not to take advantage of any opportunity. As long as he was even slightly interested in a certain cultivation technique, regardless of whether it was useful to him or whether he could cultivate it, he would immediately sweep it away with his divine sense without saying a word.
Du Fan's attitude of taking advantage of others without ever complaining left Xiao Yun speechless. Occasionally, a hint of disdain would flash in her crystal eyes. Du Fan, however, paid no attention to any of this, truly acting like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, leaving Xiao Yun speechless.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, you just mentioned a secret escape technique that can be used in conjunction with Earth Escape Technique. Which one is it?" Du Fan asked again, full of energy and enthusiasm, after having just memorized a technique.
"Um." Xiao Yun's expression was no longer as polite as before. She rolled her eyes, casually raised her hand, and pointed to a star.
"Haha, thank you!" Du Fan seemed oblivious to the woman's change in attitude, laughed loudly, and immediately launched a divine sense scan.
After a short while, Du Fan had memorized the secret technique recorded on that star. Just as he was smiling and about to ask again, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked up at the starry sky.
Xiao Yun's eyes also flashed, and she instantly looked up.
Originally, this starry sky was still, as if it had never changed since time immemorial. But at that moment, the brightest moon in the night sky suddenly shone with divine light and began to rotate.
As the bright moon slowly rotated in the sky, all the stars in the night sky began to tremble violently. They were no longer still, but instead moved along a specific trajectory, carrying a dazzling and mysterious radiance, wandering through the night sky.
The stars in the night sky initially moved very slowly, but after a moment, their speed suddenly increased to an incredible level, like countless shooting stars streaking across the sky, tearing through the void and becoming a meteor shower.
However, the meteor shower did not fall in a straight line. Instead, it circled the bright moon in the night sky, spinning rapidly, round and round, like a cycle, endless and never-ending.
Du Fan was completely shocked by this scene. He had a feeling that perhaps it wasn't the stars that were rotating, but the entire starry sky. If the starry sky was moving, then the stars below it would naturally be moving as well.
About fifteen minutes later, the meteor in the night sky had reached its maximum speed, and it was impossible to distinguish it with the naked eye.
The stars were no longer there; they had long since transformed into rings of light. These countless rings of light converged to form a vortex of light, resembling a circular galaxy, swirling and flowing. At the center of this galaxy was the bright moon.
Upon witnessing this scene, Du Fan gasped, his face filled with shock. In his shock, he couldn't help but frown. He felt a faint sense of familiarity with this strange celestial phenomenon and the spatial aura emanating from the vortex.
A moment later, his expression changed drastically, filled with disbelief, and he roared, "This is... teleportation power! A super teleportation array!"
"What, a super teleportation array?" Xiao Yun, who had been standing there in a daze, was startled by Du Fan's voice and suddenly turned to look at him.
"When I was on the Nine Provinces Continent, I used the super teleportation array twice. The aura and energy fluctuations emanating from that vortex in the starry sky are exactly the same as those of the super teleportation array. There is no mistake. Moreover, the aerial array has been activated at this moment!" Du Fan's body trembled, his hands clenched into fists, staring intently at the vortex in the sky.
"I trust Brother Du's words. Since it's a super teleportation array, then where exactly is the other side of this array..." Xiao Yun murmured, her expression somewhat dazed.
"Perhaps it's... the Nine Provinces continent!"
Du Fan's breathing quickened, his heart pounded, and his eyes suddenly blazed with light. An intense desire instantly filled his mind, and his lips trembled with excitement. He had a strong urge to step into it!
"Brother Du, calm down and listen to me first."
The distance between the Nine Provinces Continent and the Earthly Fiend Islands is exceptionally far, and the environment of the Eastern Sea is unique. Many powerful predecessors have tried to establish a super teleportation array between the two sides, but all of them have failed.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be a teleportation array leading to the Nine Provinces continent.
Moreover, the concept of returning to one's roots has nothing to do with the Nine Provinces Continent. Even if a super teleportation array existed, the probability of it leading to the Nine Provinces Continent would be very low.
"If the other side of the magic array is still the Earthly Fiend Islands, that would be fine. But if this array is unfinished, or leads to some dangerous place, Brother Du, stepping into it rashly will definitely mean certain death!" Seeing Du Fan's expression, Xiao Yun could easily guess what he was thinking, and quickly offered this advice.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao is absolutely right. Thank you for the reminder. I understand now." After a long while, Du Fan took a deep breath, the excitement in his eyes slowly fading, and he gradually calmed down. It seemed that he had given up the idea of stepping into it.
Seeing this, Xiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief, but just as she was about to say something, her expression changed again, and she cried out, "Oh no!"
Just as the vortex of light in the night sky reached its peak, the bright moon in the center suddenly exploded, accompanied by rolling thunder, dazzling light, and the collapse of the sky and earth. A powerful suction force suddenly erupted, instantly filling every corner of the entire stone hall.
