Early the next morning, Qi Tian and others rushed to the Teleportation Plaza in the city center. Everyone from top to bottom at the National Master Manor came out to see Qi Tian and his group off. Even the several Nascent Soul Masters showed their faces, including Cheng Daoran, who had deep conflicts with Qi Tian and did not avoid showing himself at this time.

After bidding farewell to the people from National Master Manor with clasped hands, Qi Tian and his group arrived at the Teleportation Plaza. Qi Tian discovered that some had arrived even earlier than them. Zhang Chenghua, as persistent as a haunting spirit, personally led several cultivators from the Ink Flood Dragon Association and stood next to the Teleportation Array, their faces expressionless, intimidating everyone around them. Gao Wenlin and his disciple Zhang Baolin stood next to Zhang Chenghua, their faces full of respect.

Yi Xuwen greeted Zhang Chenghua, who responded indifferently. Yi Xuwen, finding the response awkward, also didn’t dare to show any dissatisfaction. He wasn’t as bold as Qi Tian, to disrespect Zhang Chenghua.

Soon after, other people also arrived and, finally, twenty people from Wanjie City assembled into a team. Contestants like Qi Tian could have two people accompanying them, while Wanjie Commerce and Ink Flood Dragon Association each deployed four people. On one hand, they were there to ensure the safety of Qi Tian and others along the way; on the other hand, they were looking for opportunities that would be beneficial to their respective forces at the place where the competition was held.

Once everyone had arrived, Zhang Chenghua, stepping in front of Lu Songsheng, said, “Going to the Holy Land to participate in the competition involves a long journey filled with many dangers. I want to emphasize two points, the first is that everyone must follow orders and not act recklessly. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences of any problems that arise. The second point is that travel expenses need to be covered by yourselves. If you gain benefits from participating in the competition, those are yours alone; there is no reason for us to foot the bill. Providing protection along the way is already showing plenty of respect for you.”

Qi Tian and others did not speak, as they had been sufficiently prepared for what Zhang Chenghua said and didn’t find anything inappropriate about it.

Zhang Chenghua glanced at Qi Tian, seemingly waiting for Qi Tian to provoke him at this time, but he was disappointed. Qi Tian did not even look at him, causing Zhang Chenghua to snort. He then waved his hand and said, “Let’s set off.”

Lu Songsheng wore a grim expression. He had not expected that the Ink Flood Dragon Association would let Zhang Chenghua lead the team this time; the journey might become tumultuous. He needed to be careful and maintain the reputation of Wanjie Commerce, and not let Ink Flood Dragon Association disrupt their efforts to recruit allies.

Zhang Chenghua led the way to the Teleportation Array and, in front of everyone, paid the teleportation fee. Following him, everyone else also paid their respective fees—it wasn’t a small amount. The destination they were heading to was very far from Wanjie City, naturally making the teleportation fees steep—ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones per person.

Qi Tian noticed that Gao Wenlin and Liang Hansen grimaced while paying their teleportation fees. Had it been another time, Qi Tian might have generously helped, but this time, he did not move. Not only did Qi Tian not act, but Lu Songsheng also refrained. In fact, he had already provided funds enough for this master and disciple duo to cover their travel expenses and other fees. Although they had money, they still looked pained, leaving Lu Songsheng speechless.

After everyone had paid the fees and stood on the Teleportation Array, the cultivator in charge of guarding the array adjusted the direction of the teleportation and activated the array. At once, the group was enveloped in bright light and soared into the sky.

This teleportation lasted especially long, taking over half an hour, before the light of teleportation finally fell. They appeared in another city’s Teleportation Plaza, where more cultivators than in Wanjie City had gathered but completely ignored Qi Tian and his group. Glancing around, Qi Tian noticed that there were at least dozens of Nascent Soul Masters, many of whom were not inferior to Zhang Chenghua or Lu Songsheng in terms of cultivation level.

Zhang Baolin said, “Stick close to me, and make sure not to get lost.”

As he spoke, he led them from the Teleportation Array toward another one, which was crowded with a long queue of cultivators, including some who looked around the same age as Qi Tian and were possibly at the peak of Gold Core Realm, likely also heading to the competition.

The Teleportation Array was highly efficient, and it was soon Qi Tian and his group’s turn. This time, the teleportation fee was astonishingly high, requiring ten thousand top-grade spirit stones per person. After they began the teleportation, they understood the high cost, as this time the teleportation lasted over a day. Twenty people were trapped within the teleportation light, unable to do anything—the discomfort was imaginable.

The space enveloped by the teleportation light was about the size of one and a half rooms. Although the twenty people weren’t squeezed tightly together, they weren’t far from it. Throughout, Qi Tian remained highly vigilant, constantly wary of the people from Ink Flood Dragon Association trying something sneaky.

Using the Teleportation Array for long-distance transport was very dangerous. Nothing much happened inside the light-enclosed space, but stepping outside—accidentally or not—could result in serious trouble. At best, one might get lost in the Spacetime Turbulence, possibly ending up in some bizarre place; at worst, one could be torn to shreds by the Spacetime Turbulence, leaving not even a corpse behind. Qi Tian certainly didn’t want to lose his life over something as trivial as teleportation.

Fortunately, throughout the teleportation, the people from Ink Flood Dragon Association were quite steady, never creating any issues or even standing close to Qi Tian. Additionally, Yi Xuwen and Huang Liuyan stood by Qi Tian’s side like two protective deities, constantly vigilant against any possible sneak attacks.

Other competitors in the major competition also enjoyed similar treatment, their Sect elders dutifully guarding them. Although the likelihood of incidents was small, no one dared to be negligent at this time.

Finally, this second long-distance teleportation ended, and everyone involved was exceedingly weary; standing as if being punished was not pleasant.

Emerging from the Teleportation Array, they found themselves in another city, but this city was not as large, and bizarrely, there was only one Teleportation Array.

After emerging from the Teleportation Array, Zhang Chenghua said, “After teleporting twice in a row, everyone must be tired. Let’s rest here for a day and continue our journey tomorrow.”
