King of Creation Chapter 1678 - 1663: Medium Teleportation Formation
Previously on King of Creation...
As Princess Changle grandly escorted her massive entourage away from the posthouse, Grand Divine Master Shou Hui at last exhaled a deep breath of relief.
Outsiders always disrupted their monitoring operations.
The recent enfeoffment ritual had pushed the three Grand Divine Masters' nerves right to the edge.
Should an assassin suddenly strike and slay Ye Zhen, the whole affair would collapse without resolution.
Yet even after Princess Changle's departure, she had dumped some headaches on them still.
Those headaches came in the form of fifty Star Priests from Barbarian Spirit Hall, stationed around Ye Zhen’s Silent Chamber both above ground and below.
The excuse rang true enough—since Ye Zhen now served as their Left Chief Priest of Barbarian Spirit Hall, dispatching guards for his safety made perfect sense.
Shou Hui couldn't counter that logic, and besides, he had zero desire to clash once more with a wild card like Princess Changle.
That earlier spectacle had truly shaken him to the core.
The fifty Realm King Realm Star Priests posed no real threat regardless, for as long as they stayed in plain sight, it just meant extra eyes watching Ye Zhen.
Right then, Ye Zhen sat cross-legged upon the bed inside the Silent Chamber, immersed in cultivation, with the fresh seal of Barbarian Spirit Hall's Left Chief Priest positioned to his left upfront.
No issues!
All clear!
Shou Hui carefully scanned the Silent Chamber interior and Ye Zhen's surroundings with his Divine Sense, ultimately releasing a relieved sigh.
Though the prior enfeoffment had turned chaotic, in the end, normalcy prevailed.
With a flick of his Divine Sense, he dispatched a Talisman Communication hurtling toward the Heavenly Temple Lower Court in East Luoyi.
Shou Hui needed to update the three Hall Masters on Ye Zhen’s status and shifts every two hours.
At the Heavenly Temple Lower Court in East Hao Yi, Baili Fei received Shou Hui’s report and also sighed in relief, now simply biding time for the next twenty days.
Yet neither Baili Fei nor Shou Hui noticed that Ye Zhen’s actual body had already materialized on the Dragon Swimming Plain beyond Luoyi.
Despite Luoyi’s formidable underground Grand Formation, Ye Zhen meticulously took more than an hour to slip past the subterranean barriers via Innate Five Elements Divine Escape.
The figure lingering in the Luoyi posthouse was nothing but Ye Zhen’s Mirage Avatar.
This Mirage Avatar drew heavily on Origin Mirage Qi from the Mirage Dragon Pearl, so not even a Dao Realm Expert’s Divine Sense probe—let alone facing the real Ye Zhen up close—could spot that it wasn’t the True Body anymore.
Ye Zhen’s escape scheme kicked off for real.
Back in Luoyi, Princess Changle had just arrived at Barbarian Spirit Hall’s quarters and sat pondering with a furrowed brow.
In the earlier enfeoffment, Ye Zhen requested her aid, prompting her to trigger the Primordial Aura inside the Main Priest’s seal.
Even with the Primordial Aura’s veil, her nearness to Ye Zhen let her keenly detect a faint odd ripple.
Ye Zhen’s presence before her appeared to vanish for an instant.
Soon after, Ye Zhen sent her a voice transmission, stating his True Body had departed to deal with certain affairs.
But he kept the nature of those affairs secret from her.
In the end, as she departed, Princess Changle stationed the fifty Barbarian Spirit Hall Star Priests there.
Those fifty Star Priests' only task was blocking any approach to Ye Zhen.
While the twenty days remained and Ye Zhen stayed secluded in the Silent Chamber, nobody could barge in to interrupt his cultivation.
This setup offered Princess Changle’s brand of safeguard for Ye Zhen’s departed True Body.
Still, Princess Changle puzzled over precisely what Ye Zhen planned once outside.
....
Activating Great Zhou’s scattered Ancient Teleportation Formations required verifying identity via an official Jade Scroll, followed by paying the fee.
Switching identities proved far too tough for typical Martial Artists.
Heavenly Patrol Department folks, though, would blush in front of peers without multiple road aliases ready.
Ye Zhen toted at least a hundred such identity Jade Scrolls, shelling out ten High Grade Spiritual Stones to skip the queue before vanishing from Dragon Swimming Plain under a false guise.
Ye Zhen certainly wasn’t running away, of course.
Were true flight his goal, Ye Zhen could’ve ditched all this hassle entirely.
Ye Zhen's next planned stop on the Ancient Teleportation Formation was situated at the northwest border region, within Wind State's State City called Strong Wind City. Once he arrived in Strong Wind City, Ye Zhen decided against proceeding immediately with more Ancient Teleportation Formations.
Rather than that, he ventured into Strong Wind City first, discovered a tavern, savored a few drinks, and relished the regional delicacy—braised Wind Spirit Lamb. By the moment Ye Zhen departed the tavern, his looks had been completely transformed.
Afterward, utilizing a separate identity Jade Scroll, Ye Zhen boarded the Ancient Teleportation Formation and resumed his path toward the northwest frontier.
Through four additional jumps, Ye Zhen finally reached Weizhou.
Estimates placed the span between Weizhou and Luoyi at over twenty million miles, with its location shifted somewhat westward, bordered by various states, all covered by the oversight of the West Patrol’s fourth path, the Wind Patrol Envoy.
Given the major undertaking ahead, creating chaos for the West Patrol’s Xio Qiangu brought nothing but satisfaction to Ye Zhen.
That said, Ye Zhen’s actual goal lay outside Weizhou City.
In the surrounding area exceeding six million miles, Weizhou State City alone featured an Ancient Teleportation Formation, meaning Ye Zhen had to traverse the leftover distance on his own by flying.
Nevertheless, Ye Zhen felt no urgency to depart; several preparations still demanded attention.
After gaining a brief overview of conditions in Weizhou City, Ye Zhen traveled three hundred miles outward from the city prior to plunging abruptly into the ground.
Underground, having descended a thousand meters, Ye Zhen abruptly unleashed a scorching torrent of Heavenly Thunder Spirit Fire, rapidly hollowing out a subterranean chamber measuring ten meters in each dimension.
Hurling forth a High Grade Ice Element Attribute Spirit Stone, Ye Zhen swiftly lowered the underground space's heat to a workable state, then swept his Divine Sense across all directions.
With confirmation that nobody within a hundred miles monitored the subsurface activity, Ye Zhen established multiple tiers of Guardian Formations inside this underground area. To ward off any chance entries via burrowing, he further conjured an Illusory Realm encircling it with Mirage Qi.
Once finished with these steps, Ye Zhen cautiously extracted a five-meter-square Array Plate etched with elaborate designs, positioned it properly, and loaded it with no less than a hundred incredibly valuable Supreme Spirit Stones!
This prized item was a medium-sized Teleportation Formation, obtained via Mountain God Yi Xun at Five Immortals Island, priced at twenty times the cost of a small Communication Transfer Formation. Additionally, its range extended merely three million miles, limited moreover to a single activation.
Its performance paled against that of a small Communication Transfer Formation; the single edge it held was the capacity to convey living entities!
Everything arranged, Ye Zhen emerged quietly to the surface, activated a General-Level Spirit Boat, and set off for his intended site.
Luo Prefecture Capital lay 3.1 million miles distant from Weizhou City!
