“Ever since we teleported here, you’d remained. unconscious, Mr. Chance. During the teleportation process, everyone’s consciousness would be sealed off. The person would be no different from being dead. But when it had been completed, he would regain consciousness. Yet, that didn’t happen. for you. You gave us both a scare,” Cloud explained to Jared.
“What about these people here, then?” Jared asked, pointing at the dozen or so motionless cultivators around them.
“They’re all dead. Every time the Teleportation Array is activated, there are always those who are presumptuous and unleash their spiritual sense for a feel of the Teleportation Array’s might. These people were recalcitrant. After they unleashed their spiritual sense, it was stripped by the Teleportation Array. Although they’re not dead, they’re no different from being dead, a cultivator in his forties said while walking past them.
At that moment, Jared perceived that his situation back then was exactly the same.
He had likewise unleashed a wisp of spiritual sense out of curiosity, leading to the Teleportation Array sucking his entire soul out of his body. Fortunately, the Golden Tome in his consciousness field saved him at the critical juncture.
Fear lingered within him then. Nonetheless, as he cast his mind back on all he had experienced, he realized that he remembered every step taken by the elderly man in setting up the Teleportation Array.
In other words, if my capabilities sufficed presently, I can also set up the powerful Teleportation Array according to the elderly man’s steps!
Following that thought, excitement brewed within him.
“Let’s leave quickly, Mr. Chance. The nearest city is likely thousands of miles away. When it gets dark, there’ll probably be demon beasts roaming around here,” Cloud urged the preoccupied man.
“Okay.” Jared nodded in agreement.
Then, he scanned his eyes over the forest around them and wondered in puzzlement, “Since we used the Teleportation Array, shouldn’t we have been teleported to another Teleportation Array? Why did we get teleported here? There doesn’t seem to be any Teleportation Array here.”
He was very much perplexed. In his understanding, teleportation involved conveyance between two Teleportation Arrays. Therefore, it made no sense that they were teleported to the wilderness.
“The kind of Teleportation Array you’re speaking of is a fixed two-way conveyance, Master. That’s not the case for the Teleportation Array we took. It’ll only teleport someone to a general area. The location is different each time, but the difference is minimal. Speaking of which, the Teleportation Array is akin to tearing time and space apart for people to travel through the gaps to arrive at their desired destinations. But when it malfunctions sometimes, people might be teleported to some other place. Due to the disruption in time and space, there could be an offset in the teleported location,” Feenix interjected.
After listening to her explanation, Jared finally grasped the concept of it. Thus, they briskly. walked out of the forest.
Cloud found an open space and took out his. airship. Their plan was to take the airship to the nearest city to rest for a while before making subsequent arrangements. But no sooner had he done so than a number of cultivators crowded over.
“How much does it cost for a ride on your airship, buddy?” someone asked.
“Sorry, but this airship of mine is for private use. I’m not accepting passengers.”
Cloud waved a dismissive hand.
“You must be exceedingly rich to have such a big airship, buddy. Why don’t you do us a favor and allow us to hitch a ride with you?” someone else ventured, stepping forward to curry favor with him.
Just as Cloud was about to respond, the man known as Mr. Seizon, who had been traveling with Behemoth Palace, climbed onto the airship without a word.
A frown marred Cloud’s face. He was a moment away from blowing his top when a cultivator beside him held him back.
