Chapter 854: Super Teleportation Array
Peerless Medicine God · 第854章 超级传送阵
Yihai City was a fourth-rank holy land in Dinghe Domain, and it was an affiliated force of Chaotian Palace, one of the eight super holy lands.
Yihai City was very prosperous, because among the several nearby domains, only Yihai City had an ultra-long-distance teleportation array.
In the Divine Domain, to travel across several domains, one had to use an ultra-long-distance teleportation array.
If martial artists relied solely on their own strength to fly, it would take several years or even decades to complete the journey.
Of course, if one's strength reached the Divine King realm, that was a different matter.
"Kid, stop gawking! The super teleportation array is broken. If you want to use the teleportation array, go over there to register and queue up!"
A city guard at the ninth level of Heavenly Enlightenment scolded, not taking the young man before him seriously at all.
And the target of his scolding was none other than Ye Yuan, who had traveled from Baiwu Domain.
The cost of building a super teleportation array was astronomical. A place like Baiwu Domain simply did not have the capability to build one.
So if Ye Yuan wanted to go to the Chaotic Demon Sea, he had to pass through a place with a super teleportation array.
This super teleportation array in Yihai City led to a large city near the Chaotic Demon Sea, so Ye Yuan had come to Yihai City.
Building a super teleportation array not only consumed enormous resources but also required the collaboration of several ninth-rank array masters.
Naturally, Yihai City did not have this capability either. This array was built with the help of Chaotian Palace to strengthen its control over several nearby domains.
But when Ye Yuan arrived at Yihai City, as luck would have it, the teleportation array was broken.
What frustrated Ye Yuan was that a large number of martial artists were now stranded in Yihai City. Even if the array were repaired, if Ye Yuan queued up in order, it would take a month before he could leave.
After all, activating such a super teleportation array once consumed a terrifying amount of primal crystals.
This array could only be activated once every three days, and each activation could only teleport three hundred people.
Ye Yuan had just learned that several thousand people had already registered. At this rate, it would probably take months to leave Yihai City.
The area around the teleportation array was now sealed off, and from a distance, some people who looked like array masters could be seen repairing it inside.
"Brother, do you know when this super teleportation array will be fixed?" Ye Yuan secretly slipped a bag of earthly primal crystals to the city guard and asked.
The city guard gave Ye Yuan a meaningful look, clearly not expecting this young man to be so savvy. His expression softened considerably.
Having taken the money, the city guard naturally answered every question: "Maybe ten days, maybe a year—how can I say for sure? Repairing this super teleportation array requires a ninth-rank Array Emperor to do it personally. Our Yihai City doesn't have a ninth-rank Array Emperor. The city lord has already sent people to Chaotian Palace to invite one, but those ninth-rank Array Emperors are in high demand. Whether they'll come, and when, is anyone's guess."
This... this was awkward!
Ye Yuan was very worried about Long Teng's situation and didn't want to delay even a moment. So the day after returning to Chixia, he set off.
He hadn't expected to be delayed not in Chixia but in Yihai City.
"Is that so? I wonder how the teleportation array was damaged?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.
At this mention, the city guard immediately fumed, "Don't even mention it! That damned fellow was originally being hunted here by the elders of Chaotian Palace. As luck would have it, when he arrived, our teleportation array was in an active state. He struck out and killed several people, and also destroyed the grand array."
It was evident that when the city guard mentioned that person, fear showed in his eyes, indicating that the man was extremely powerful.
Ye Yuan was also surprised upon hearing this. Someone who could be hunted by Chaotian Palace was probably no pushover.
Moreover, from the destruction of the grand array, it was clear that the guy was definitely a tough character.
Destroying the grand array from within meant he could be swept into spatial turbulence at any moment—this was a last-ditch effort.
Ye Yuan pondered for a moment, then said to the city guard, "I have some knowledge of arrays. How about letting me try to help?"
The city guard was taken aback and laughed, "Forget it! Although our Yihai City doesn't have a ninth-rank Array Emperor, we do have some eighth-rank Array Masters! Look at those inside—they are all master-level figures. A little brat like you, what help could you be?"
Ye Yuan slipped him another bag of Earth Essence Crystals and said with a smile, "Brother, I've been very interested in arrays since I was young. With so many masters inside, I just want to go in and learn. Look at them, they're not young anymore; there must be some manual labor where I can be useful, right?"
Looking at the bag of Earth Essence Crystals, the city guard clearly hesitated.
After thinking it over, he said, "Alright, I'll go put in a word for you, but whether they use you or not is beyond my control! But this stuff..."
His meaning was obvious: regardless of success or failure, this bag of Earth Essence Crystals was his.
Ye Yuan smiled, "Brother, rest assured. Whether it works out or not, since I've taken it out, I never intended to take it back. Brother has worked hard; take it to buy some wine and relax."
The city guard laughed heartily, "Kid, you're sensible. I like you! Wait here. I've heard that this time the teleportation array is badly damaged, and Master Wu and his team really are short-handed."
Ye Yuan cupped his hands, "Then I'll trouble you, brother."
Ye Yuan sneaked in not to learn, but to repair the grand array.
Rather than waiting for some Array Emperor to come, it would be faster for him to do it himself.
The super teleportation array was not a single array but a combination of many large and small arrays, very complex.
Among them were ninth-rank arrays, as well as eighth-rank and even seventh-rank arrays.
The array masters inside were all repairing arrays below the ninth rank. Naturally, only an Array Emperor understood ninth-rank arrays.
However, these arrays were not difficult for Ye Yuan, so he volunteered, saying he wanted to go in and learn.
At that moment, Ye Yuan saw that Master Wu was busy and overwhelmed. Presiding over the repair of such a grand array was obviously a stretch for him.
Ye Yuan saw the city guard go up and exchange a few words with him, then return.
Seeing Ye Yuan, the city guard smiled, "You're in luck, kid. Master Wu and his team are short-handed and told you to hurry over. But Master Wu said if you're here to cause trouble, he'll slap you to death! Don't say I didn't warn you—Master Wu has a bad temper, so be careful."
This result did not surprise Ye Yuan. The super teleportation array was very complex, indeed a bit much for eighth-rank array masters.
He had glanced earlier and knew they were really short-handed. So if someone offered to help, they probably wouldn't refuse.
Ye Yuan smiled, "Brother, rest assured. Although I'm young, my foundation is solid. I won't cause any trouble."
