A few moments after the Northern Sovereign left the courtyard, Quan Lin turned his attention towards Shun Long and asked him
”Young master Shun, are you ready to go?”
Nodding his head, Shun Long looked at Quan Lin and said calmly
”Commander Quan, please lead the way.”
A few moments later, Quan Lin led Shun Long’s group of 6 towards the back of the Northern Sovereign’s estate, and soon, their group arrived in front of an empty, large area that seemed to be guarded by a squad of 10 soldiers, all clad in silver armor that looked quite similar to Quan Lin’s own.
Surprisingly, each of those 10 soldiers seemed to be emitting an aura that had already surpassed that of a Dao King and was clearly at the Dao Emperor realm, surprising Shun Long and the others quite a bit.
Clearly, for 10 Dao Emperors to be standing guard here, even if they were early-stage Dao Emperors at most, it showed how much importance the Northern Sovereign placed in this area.
The moment that the 10 Dao Emperors noticed Quan Lin’s arrival, they all knelt down on one knee and saluted respectfully
”Greetings, commander Quan!”
Quan Lin nodded his head as he walked past them and entered the empty area that they were guarding.
”Quan Lin, what is this place?”
A few moments after they walked past the silver-armored soldiers and stepped foot into this area, Jiang Tianfang suddenly asked this question, as he stared at Quan Lin who seemed to have stopped walking.
Quan Lin had a calm look in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Tianfang, before he answered seriously
”This place we are standing on is a massive teleportation formation inscribed by a peak 3-star formation master from the Tianxuan dynasty, and it is the fastest way to get to the ‘City of Immortals’ from our ‘Northern Sovereign’s city’.
Normally, even if we traveled on the back of a rank 8 magic beast, we would need at least a couple of months to get to the ‘City of Immortals’, but through this teleportation formation, we can travel directly to the territory of the Tianxuan dynasty in the central part of the central region. From there, we will need around a week to get to the ‘City of Immortals’.”
Quan Lin then turned his gaze towards Shun Long and continued
”Young master Shun, please get ready! I’m about to activate the teleportation formation.”
Once he finished speaking, Quan Lin waved his right hand before a golden-colored token appeared in his palm. At the same time, the aura of a peak rank 9 Dao Emperor burst out from his body and entered inside the golden-colored token in his hand, before the runes on the token’s surface started to glow with a bright white light.
A moment later, Shun Long could feel the ground beneath his feet that had started to tremble, as the familiar feeling of spatial fluctuation enveloped his body soon after.
”Everyone, prepare yourselves.” Quan Lin’s voice resounded through the air, before Shun Long and the others all noticed that their surroundings had already begun to change.
Even though Liu Mei and the others were quite used to this feeling since this wasn’t the first time that they were traveling through space, this time, they could all sense that there was something different about this teleportation formation compared to the one they had used back in the Holy sect that they had used to travel to the King’s Palace.
However, although Liu Mei and the others couldn’t pinpoint exactly what the difference was, at that moment, Shun Long seemed to have fallen into a trance as he suddenly realized something.
Unlike Liu Mei and the others, Shun Long could clearly sense that the difference between this teleportation formation and the one back in the Holy sect wasn’t just in the runes that were used to inscribe the 2 formations, but also, in the understanding of the element of space that the expert who had inscribed this formation had reached.
Clearly, this expert’s understanding of the Dao of Space was much higher than the Grand Elder’s own.
Shun Long could guess that even if this person’s understanding of the Dao of Space wasn’t at the Sovereign realm by the time he created this formation, it was certainly at the peak of the Dao Emperor realm at the very least!
Closing his eyes, Shun Long then allowed the feeling of spatial fluctuations to completely envelop his body, while his own understanding of the Dao of Space seemed to be advancing at an extremely rapid rate.
At this moment, Shun Long could sense that his own Dao of Space which had been stranded to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for so long seemed to finally be advancing again, as it rapidly inched closer and closer towards the Dao King realm.
A couple of minutes later, in the sky just a few miles away from a large city within the central part of the central region, a massive space tear seemed to have opened in the air, before Shun Long’s figure shot out of it, along with Liu Mei, Jiang Chen and the others, all of them landing in an empty patch of grass just a few miles away from the city gates.
The moment that his body left the space tear, Shun Long felt as if his sudden feeling of enlightenment had abruptly disappeared, and yet, a smile still lingered on his lips as he sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed.
Although his understanding of the Dao of Space hadn’t reached the Dao King realm just yet, Shun Long was confident that he only needed a few more months at most before he stepped into the sixth stage of his ‘Monarch’s Eternal body’ as well.
At the same time, once their group of 7 was ejected out of the space tear, commander Quan Lin stared at his surroundings seriously for a few moments, his gaze finally landing on the massive city in the distance before he said with a smile on his face
”It seems that we are quite lucky. If I’m not wrong, right now, we are in the vicinity of the Tianxuan dynasty’s Luoyang city. According to the information I got from the city lord, the City of Immortals is just a 3-day journey away from this place!”
