"Are you wishing to join Dad?"
Chiang Xiao gave a firm nod.
"In that case, we'll head to D State to locate a secure spot for the Talisman Diagram, which means testing whether it functions when positioned away from a person's body."
Prior to him even attempting to activate the portion of the Talisman Diagram attached to himself, Chiang Xiao had suddenly materialized.
This implied that the half he possessed might not require activation at all, instead serving as a beacon for drawing others in.
On the other hand, the piece held by Chiang Xiao demanded relocation, hence the necessity for activation.
Given this possibility, his own segment could likely be stationed in a fixed location as well.
Meng Xinian's thoughts raced ahead swiftly.
Chiang Xiao had arrived at the same conclusion.
"We should return and give it a shot."
With their discussion concluded, they swam together toward the far bank.
The Talisman Diagrams clutched in their grips ignited on their own.
Upon arriving at the other side, they switched into fresh attire inside the vehicle before heading back home by car.
When they finally arrived, dawn was almost breaking, but the thrill and vitality from their trial kept sleep far from their minds.
Thirst struck and they quenched it with Spirit Spring Water; hunger came and they satisfied it with bites of snacks and meat jerky, staying brimming with vigor.
Chiang Xiao sketched out two additional Talisman Diagrams, setting one half in the study for the experiment, as Xinian carried the counterpart to the kitchen. Activating his portion, he appeared in the study in an instant.
Thus, this approach proved viable as well.
The next step involved testing it over distances of a thousand miles.
For experiments at different ranges, Chiang Xiao created numerous Talisman Diagrams.
Once Meng Xinian had eaten his fill and stocked the vehicle with multiple vials of Spirit Spring Water along with abundant snacks and meat jerky, he departed.
They had settled on checking it at predetermined points.
As he drove away, Chiang Xiao kept crafting the Thousand Miles Talisman Diagram, aware that it stayed dormant until split into halves.
After producing a substantial number, she also crafted a few Illusionary Talisman Diagrams. Although time constraints prevented capturing a live chicken for testing that day, distant travels might yet yield unexpected chances.
She then concealed two segments of the Talisman Diagram securely within the bedroom.
The leftover portions were tucked neatly into a compact pouch, prepared to hand one over to Meng Xinian, allowing him to rush back home from any location.
This setup would prevent him from encountering lethal perils once more.
Should dire peril arise, activating the Talisman Diagram would bring him back safely.
In moments where survival hung by a thread, who would fret over strange happenings or the risk of revelation?
With sufficient talismans readied, she bathed, prepared a meal, and settled down for a brief rest.
By half past eleven, the scheduled moment with Meng Xinian had arrived.
During that short span, he could have covered several hundred miles by car.
Prior to activating the Talisman Diagram, a sudden impulse led Chiang Xiao to check if items in hand could teleport alongside, so she seized a nearby cushion before triggering her half of the Talisman Diagram.
On this occasion, the gale roaring by her ears grew far more savage and intense.
It evoked the terrifying plunge of tumbling from a sheer precipice.
The overwhelming weightlessness carried a chilling dread.
A wave of unease washed over Chiang Xiao involuntarily.
Furthermore, this feeling dragged on far longer than previous attempts.
Her head spun with dizziness, and an ominous dread gripped her chest, as she abruptly recalled that excessive distance might thwart the teleportation—leaving her stranded in limbo after the attempt.
Would she be trapped in this swirling vertigo, forever barred from returning?
