290: Chapter 290 The Birth of a Miraculous Treasure

"It would be great if there were a teleportation Formation," Li Qingling continued.

"A teleportation Formation?" Chen Changqing said thoughtfully.

The straight-line distance between Yan Country and Tang Country exceeded hundreds of thousands of li, yet this was merely distance, not counting the dangers along the way.

To teleport such a distance, at the very least, a Tier 4 grand teleportation Formation was required.

Generally speaking, a Tier 2 teleportation Formation could transmit over a thousand li away.

As for a Tier 3 teleportation Formation, it could range from ten thousand li to tens of thousands of li, depending on the skill level of the Formation Master who laid it out.

If it were a Tier 4 teleportation Formation, teleporting hundreds of thousands of li would be effortless, but the resources consumed were simply too vast. Under normal circumstances, no one would use a Tier 4 teleportation Formation.

Unless under special circumstances, such as foreign wars and so on.

Moreover, Formation Masters capable of setting up a Tier 4 teleportation Formation were far too rare. Even in Tang Country, there might not be anyone capable of setting it up; perhaps only the Five Dynasties possessed such Formation Masters.

Of course, aside from Formations, if one wanted to transport a large number of Cultivators at once, there were also things like spirit boats.

Spirit boats were categorized by size into small spirit boats, large spirit boats, and ultra-large spirit boats.

A small spirit boat could transport as few as a few people, or as many as a dozen or so.

As for a large spirit boat, it could hold dozens to hundreds of people.

As for ultra-large spirit boats, their grades were generally not low, with lower ones at Tier 3 and stronger ones at Tier 4. Solely in terms of capacity per trip, they could accommodate a full thousand people, or even more.

After all, aside from transporting Cultivators and supplies, such ultra-large spirit boats could also serve as war machines.

The Chen Family's qingye boat was obtained from the Legacy of the Wanta Sect, possessing two tiers: Tier 1 and Tier 2. This kind of qingye boat could only be used for traveling and could only accommodate a very small number of people.

Expecting it to transport Cultivators and supplies to Tang Country was nothing short of a pipe dream.

However, within the Legacy of the Wanta Sect, there was indeed a refining method for a large spirit boat capable of accommodating hundreds of people.

That spirit boat was named Qingyun Boat, of Tier 3 quality, and multiple Tier 3 Formations could be arranged inside it.

"A Tier 3 teleportation Formation is not enough, but we can find a way regarding a Tier 3 spirit boat," Chen Changqing explained.

"That's true. A Tier 3 teleportation Formation cannot transmit such a long distance, nor can it guarantee safety during the transmission," Li Qingling said.

If someone were to destroy the Formation on the opposite side during transmission, it was very likely that the Cultivator would be sucked into the turbulence of the Void Realm during transmission, thereby being torn apart by the Void Realm turbulence.

After all, every time you transmitted, you could not guarantee what was next to the opposite side of the teleportation Formation, nor could you send people to protect it, because that was not Yan Country's territory. If discovered by other forces, it would be impossible for them not to resort to some underhanded methods in secret.

This was also the reason why, for thousands of years, Yan Country had not sent Cultivators to develop in places like Tang Country.

Swish, swish, swish!

On the horizon, streaks of escaping light flashed past.

Inside the marketplace, the attention of a large number of Cultivators was attracted.

What is this?

Chen Changqing and his companion looked closely. They were all dressed in sky-blue attire, belonging to Cultivators of the Tianli Sect, and those leading them were five Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

A full hundred streaks of escaping light sped forward, and everyone was guessing what had happened.

"An extraordinary treasure has appeared in Heiyuan Valley. Junior Martial Uncle has given an order for us to hurry over," shouted the leading Tianli Sect Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Those low-tier Cultivators might not have heard what they were discussing, but Chen Changqing and his companion could clearly hear it, along with the Purple Palace Cultivator guarding the marketplace.

The Tianli Sect occupied a territory spanning tens of thousands of li, with Tianli City located at the center, and the Tianli Marketplace was the same.

But this did not mean that within the range of the Tianli Sect there was only one city like Tianli City, nor did it mean there was only a single marketplace like the Tianli Marketplace.

After all, it was impossible for many Cultivators to cross a distance of tens of thousands of li to go to Tianli City. Being close was fine, but if they were far away, unless they relied on a teleportation Formation, just this single journey alone would take one or two months.

Therefore, because of this, many powerful forces would spontaneously establish marketplaces or towns.

The marketplace where Chen Changqing and his companion were located was jointly controlled by the Zhang Family of Wuji Mountain and three other Purple Mansion forces, ranking quite high among all marketplaces within the scope of Tianli City. This marketplace was situated on the fringe of Tianli City, extremely close to Heiyuan Valley.

Therefore, they could naturally see these Tianli Sect Cultivators rushing over to Heiyuan Valley.

"Let's go over and take a look too," Chen Changqing said, after which the two of them headed there together.

They also wanted to see what extraordinary treasure had appeared in Heiyuan Valley.

That Purple Mansion expert of the Zhang Family inside the marketplace also learned the news of the extraordinary treasure appearing in Heiyuan Valley. He immediately transmitted this news back to the Family, and then he left with some people.

Several hours later, no one knew who spread the news of the extraordinary treasure appearing in Heiyuan Valley, but even many Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining Cultivators inside the marketplace came to know about it.

...

Black vegetation was densely spread everywhere. Looking out, everything that met the eye was bottomless black.

This was Heiyuan Valley.

Chen Changqing and Li Qingling continuously shuttled through Heiyuan Valley.

The entire Heiyuan Valley occupied a territory of tens of thousands of li, and the place where the extraordinary treasure appeared was in a remote corner within Heiyuan Valley.

Had it not been for Foundation Establishment Cultivators coming to hunt Yao Beasts, no one truly would have discovered it.

However, it was precisely because of the commotion from their fight that this extraordinary treasure was drawn out.

Many people saw the golden pillar of light shooting straight into the sky when the extraordinary treasure appeared.

"It's not far ahead." Not far from the two of them, a group of Cultivators was also rushing to the place where the extraordinary treasure appeared.

This group of Cultivators had about twenty-something people, and the strongest among them were two Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

When Chen Changqing saw them, they also saw Chen Changqing and his companion.

After merely glancing at Chen Changqing and his companion with vigilance in their eyes, they hurried away on their own.

It was no wonder they acted this way. This time, in order to contend for the extraordinary treasure, a large number of Cultivators had emerged from seclusion.

Among them, quite a few were Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and some Purple Palace old monsters were also rushing over one after another.

As for Chen Changqing and Li Qingling, the two of them had suppressed their auras to the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment.

As for why the two wanted to conceal their auras, it was mainly to catch others off guard.

Presently, Chen Changqing possessed the combat power of the ninth layer of Purple Mansion, while Li Qingling, although at the first layer of Purple Mansion, also possessed strength close to the sixth layer of Purple Mansion.

If the two joined forces and added the element of surprise, perhaps they really could seize this extraordinary treasure.

Before long, they arrived at the place where the extraordinary treasure appeared.

No less than two thousand Cultivators had already gathered here, and the number was still increasing.

Among them, a full eleven people stood at the very front of all the Cultivators, and they were all uniformly Purple Palace Cultivators.

As for the appearance of the extraordinary treasure, it came from the Immortal Cave below.

It was unknown who had passed away here, actually placing an extraordinary treasure in this place.

Those Purple Palace Cultivators were all waiting. There were still people rushing to this place now; if anyone rashly made the first move and consumed their magic power, only to have Purple Palace Cultivators arriving later reap the benefits, the losses would outweigh the gains.

Furthermore, this Immortal Cave actually had a Formation protecting it; they would still have to figure out a way to break the restrictions later.

As another hour passed, three more Purple Palace Cultivators arrived.

The newly arrived Purple Palace Cultivators looked at each other and also consciously stood aside to wait.
