Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2041 1489: Discussion (Happy Holidays) (Part 2)
"Yes, the Sea Clan is scattered across the Four Seas, with distances stretching millions of miles between us. In the past, communication was truly troublesome, but with the Teleportation Array, these concerns will no longer be a problem in the future."
The representatives from each faction spoke up one after another. Though their words differed, every single one was praising Ziwei and expressing their full support.
"Good!"
Ziwei was naturally pleased with their attitude, feeling quite delighted. He smiled and said, "Since all of you are so frank, I will speak plainly."
"The Teleportation Array requires the aid of Star Power to stabilize the spatial channels and maintain the spatial entrances. Therefore, every time it's used, a portion of Spirit Stones must be offered to the corresponding Star. As for the specific proportion, you may negotiate with the relevant Star God."
The representatives frowned slightly, but did not speak further. This was something they had not known before, but, if it was indeed the case, they had no grounds to refuse.
After all, if the Star Gods were unwilling to project Star Power, then even if the Teleportation Array was set up, it would be unusable, and a great many Spiritual Objects would be wasted for nothing.
Thus, aside from accepting this condition, they had no other choice.
Unless they could further improve the Formation, making the Teleportation Array independent of the Stars' control.
As for whether that could be achieved, none of them knew, since they didn't even know what the Array actually looked like at the moment.
But judging from how the Divine Path so carelessly established Arrays right on their own territories, it seemed the Formation would not be so easily deciphered or enhanced.
"If none of you have objections, why not settle the contract here and now?" Ziwei said.
The reactions of the crowd showed their surprise; they had thought the Divine Path would demand outrageous terms and seize considerable benefits, but instead, there was only this one condition?
"May I ask, Your Majesty, are there any other conditions?" a Devil Race member probed cautiously.
"None."
Ziwei smiled faintly and said, "Since this method benefits the Primal Spirit Realm, as the Heavenly Emperor who acts on behalf of Heaven, I naturally wish to offer further assistance."
"Your Majesty is truly virtuous!" Of course, none of them believed these words in their hearts, but their faces betrayed nothing, and their mouths still uttered words of praise.
"Here is a Jade Slip containing the Teleportation Array Formation. If you decide to deploy the Array, you may consult and cooperate with the respective Star God."
As he spoke, Jade Slips flew out one by one, landing steadily in the hands of every being present.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
With their aim accomplished, the crowd felt ready to depart.
Soon, they bid their farewells and left.
Once the other factions' beings had departed, only the Divines remained in the great hall.
"Your Majesty, why give away the Teleportation Array's Methods for free? Wouldn't it be better to seize the opportunity and obtain some precious Spiritual Objects?" A certain Divine could not comprehend, feeling that Ziwei was far too generous.
"You don't understand."
Ziwei smiled and shook his head, not intending to explain, and as everyone gazed at him, his figure slowly faded away.
The Teleportation Array requires Star Power—so can the Star Gods directly integrate with it and use the Array? The answer is yes!
And through this feature, Ziwei can completely use the Teleportation Array and the Star Gods to exert control over the entire Primal Spirit Realm.
Of course, this is merely his beautiful vision.
Now that every faction is exceptionally powerful, how could they possibly allow the Divine Path to rule unopposed?
Therefore, without sufficient strength, Ziwei will not reveal this fact, and will even add restrictions, to prevent any Star God from accidentally discovering this secret.
...
As for the various factions that obtained the Jade Slips, they did not immediately distribute them among their powers. Instead, they held onto them, intending to comprehend them first—or perhaps they had other ideas.
For factions like the Immortal Tao, Human Dao, and the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance, it was fine; they didn't fully trust the contents of the Jade Slip, so planned to deduce and verify them, and, once confident there were no issues, would pass the Methods on to their respective powers.
But as for factions like the Demonic Tao, Devil Race, and Sea Clan, they weren't so benevolent. They would never freely impart the Methods, even though they were originally free!
So upon returning to their territories, the first thing they did was to massively replicate the Jade Slips, then summoned their various powers, informing them that if they wished to set up the Teleportation Array, they must provide so many Spiritual Objects.
Moreover, to maximize benefits, they even stipulated the amount of Spiritual Objects required according to each power's strength.
The weaker the power, the less they had to pay, and it wouldn't hurt them financially.
In short, they thought of every possible way to extract the greatest benefit!
At first, those powers had no idea this was unrelated to the Divine Path; some even cursed the Divine Path for being greedy and insatiable.
It wasn't until the truth came to light that their resentment and rage shifted to those who profited greatly off the free Methods.
But that was all they could do; after all, those parties were at least Heavenly Immortal level, while their own little factions were no match, and, if they really tried to do anything, it would be no different from courting death.
Apart from cursing privately, they dared not do anything else.
...
Back to the main story.
Ten Thousand Immortals Mountain, family great hall.
Li Debo summoned all array masters of at least Human Immortal level who were still within the clan's domain. Not long after, everyone arrived one after another.
There were twenty-three in total: three were Earth Immortal level array grandmasters; the rest were Human Immortal level array masters.
"There is a very important task for you now!"
With a thought, Li Debo sent out Jade Slips, each transforming into a white light and landing steadily in the hands of every array master.
"These Jade Slips record the Teleportation Array created by the Divine Path. You are to study and comprehend it for one month; after that, the clan requires you to find suitable sites within Shanhai Prefecture and set up the Arrays—not fewer than seven!"
Strictly speaking, at this point, those Immortal Tao elders had not yet distributed the Formation, so how did the Li clan obtain the Jade Slips?
Naturally, through Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo!
Don't forget—the identity and cultivation of these two Star Gods are both substantial, and their divine position among the Star Gods is especially unique. All sorts of affairs cannot bypass them.
In fact, these two possess advantages in setting up the Teleportation Array far beyond any other Star God—namely, the Sun and Taiyin do not merely shine upon one place, but the entire Primal Spirit Realm!
Of course, the Sun and Taiyin do not remain stationary, but will change position as time progresses.
Because of their presence, not long after the Divine Path and the other factions concluded, the Li clan received Jade Slips sent by Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, naturally recording the Methods of the Teleportation Array.
"After you acquire the Methods, you are forbidden to disseminate the Jade Slips!" Li Debo sternly warned them, then urged them to hurry and comprehend the Formation.
