331: Three transmissions

For Xun Xiuyuan, the second task was very simple, because it wasn't very troublesome for Xun Xiuyuan's combat power to kill True Saints.

Moreover, Berserk Blade Technique, Explosive Ignition Art, and Meng Qian Nian were all great weapons for group combat.

But Mountain Fire must have known about these things, so there must be a trick to the second task.

After a long deliberation, Xun Xiuyuan said, "I choose the first task."

Mountain Fire glanced at Xun Xiuyuan, nodded, handed a task token to Xun Xiuyuan, and then motioned for Xun Xiuyuan to leave.

Xun Xiuyuan walked out of the Mission Hall, and the guiding direct disciple had not yet left.

Seeing Xun Xiuyuan walk out of the hall, he eagerly came forward and said, "Senior Brother Xun! What task did you receive?"

Seeing how enthusiastic this person was, Xun Xiuyuan didn't think much of it and said, "Collecting cosmic stones."

The person was stunned: "Why would you take this task? This task is one of the most dangerous ones."

Upon hearing this, Xun Xiuyuan was taken aback. He had been tricked by this Mountain Fire, and he had even willingly jumped into the pit.

Finally, he asked carefully, "Junior Brother, since we've met, it's fate. Come, tell Senior Brother all about it."

After the junior brother's explanation, Xun Xiuyuan learned that collecting these cosmic stones required entering a special place within the Cosmic Battlefield.

cosmic stones were abundant there, but many people entered, and with many people came many vendettas. Over time, it became one of the most dangerous places in the Cosmic Battlefield.

The junior brother finally told Xun Xiuyuan that he was Elder Feng Lin's subordinate.

Xun Xiuyuan didn't fully believe or disbelieve what this junior brother said. In any case, after this incident, Xun Xiuyuan became more vigilant.

Xun Xiuyuan used a cross-realm sound transmission jade to tell Titan about collecting cosmic stones. Titan said silently, "Since you've taken this task, just do it step by step. Your strength shouldn't put you in too much danger."

After transmitting a message to Xun Xiuyuan, Titan couldn't help but chuckle, "Sure enough, it's this task."

Xun Xiuyuan then wasted no more time and arrived at the very center of Yuan Ling Sect, which was also the location of the Cosmic Vortex, via a teleportation array.

The one guarding the vortex was Elder Cheng Kui, but it wasn't his true body, because Cheng Kui's true body had always been in seclusion. Even his clone's strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Great Saint.

Cheng Kui's clone took Xun Xiuyuan's mission token and smiled, "Why this task? The survival rate for this task isn't very high, you know."

It was like a jest, yet also a warning.

This made it impossible for Xun Xiuyuan to distinguish which people within Yuan Ling Sect were trustworthy.

Xun Xiuyuan shook his head, no longer pondering much. After taking back his mission token, he directly leaped into the vortex.

The long-lost feeling of weightlessness came, and Xun Xiuyuan finally landed on solid ground.

This teleportation took longer than previous ones. Although it was a vortex connection, it felt as if it had crossed an infinitely vast distance.

After Xun Xiuyuan stood firm, he looked around.

He was in a dimly lit hall, or rather, a huge palace had been built above the teleportation point, making it easy to defend.

At this moment, a mechanical voice sounded: "Please place your Yuan Ling Sect identification and mission token on the tray."

Xun Xiuyuan took out his identification, but he didn't see the so-called tray.

Just as he was about to ask, a metal tray appeared out of thin air in front of Xun Xiuyuan.

There were no spatial fluctuations. Xun Xiuyuan knew this wasn't an item transmitted through space; it was creation from nothing.

Just as Titan had said, creating objects in the real world was a distinguishing feature of the Great Saint Realm peak.

Of course, the created objects must be within the laws he had comprehended.

As Xun Xiuyuan pondered, another tray appeared in front of him, holding Xun Xiuyuan's identification and the mission token.

The mechanical voice sounded again: "Core disciple Xun Xiuyuan, would you like to go directly to the Cosmic Abyss, or to the Yuan Ling Sect camp?"

Xun Xiuyuan took his items and casually asked, "If I go to the Cosmic Abyss, how do I return?"

The Cosmic Abyss was the name of the dangerous place abundant in cosmic stones.

The mechanical voice continued, "You need to return on your own. Our teleports are all one-way."

Xun Xiuyuan continued to ask, "Is Vice Sect Leader Qinghui in the Yuan Ling Sect's camp?"

Apparently, this question exceeded the mechanical voice's scope of response. After a long pause, it squeezed out three words: "I don't know."

Xun Xiuyuan had no choice but to say, "Then I'll go to the Yuan Ling Sect's camp first."

The mechanical voice did not appear again; instead, a barrier appeared around Xun Xiuyuan, and in an instant, Xun Xiuyuan vanished.

This teleportation was very short. Xun Xiuyuan didn't think much because he had already arrived at his destination.

This time it wasn't a hall but an open-air area. Xun Xiuyuan was standing directly on the array patterns of the teleportation formation.

Walking off the teleportation formation, Xun Xiuyuan looked at the surrounding scene. Wasn't this exactly like the large camp leading to the abyss in the Cage Domain?

An open-air giant teleportation gate, surrounded by an endless steel giant city. On the city walls of the giant city were many things resembling large cannons.

They should be cannons, but whether they were atomic cannons or magic cannons, Xun Xiuyuan didn't know.

He also didn't know what kind of cannons could cause damage to True Saints and Great Saints.

Xun Xiuyuan's arrival did not attract anyone's attention. Although there were quite a few people around the teleportation array, they all seemed to be in a hurry, with no one paying attention to outside matters.

Just as Xun Xiuyuan didn't know who to ask, a voice came to his mind: "Southwest direction, four hundred thousand kilometers."

Xun Xiuyuan was startled. It was Qing Hui's voice.

He looked up at the circular camp. Many gates were marked with directions.

Xun Xiuyuan chose a gate marked "Southwest" and walked in, heading directly for the place Qing Hui had mentioned.

Four hundred thousand kilometers sounded very far, but for Xun Xiuyuan, it wasn't far.

If he hadn't wanted to familiarize himself with the environment, he would have arrived in a few blinks.

After flying for a long time, observing the environment of the Cosmic Battlefield along the way, Xun Xiuyuan finally saw a huge fortress, standing at the end of his sight.

Xun Xiuyuan knew his destination was there, so he no longer flew slowly. A single blink brought him near the fortress.

From afar, he hadn't fully appreciated the fortress's grandeur, but upon getting closer, Xun Xiuyuan realized how massive it was.

With a height of nearly a thousand kilometers, such a tall building would have been impossible in his previous life. The key was its even wider footprint, which was in no way inferior to an entire continent.

Just as Xun Xiuyuan was sighing with emotion, Qing Hui's voice echoed in his mind again: "Don't resist!"

There were only four words, nothing else.

Xun Xiuyuan then felt a force of the Law of Space enveloping his body.

Instinctively wanting to resist, Xun Xiuyuan relaxed his body, allowing this force to teleport him away.

He arrived at the Cosmic Battlefield, did nothing, and was continuously teleported three times.
