Chapter 799 Constructing a Teleportation Array

Translator: podao001

“Wow, Chen Feng! It hasn’t been all that long since our last meeting, but your cultivation base has risen yet again. You are too much of a defiance of Heaven! The way I see it, not even the geniuses of our academy are a match for you,” Jian Qingling exclaimed.

“Humph!” After Jian Qingling said that, a cold snort suddenly rang out from behind. Surprisingly, there were two other young male cultivators behind Lan Ling. Chen Feng had never seen them before. However, just by looking at their display of arrogance, Chen Feng was certain that they were the elites of Absolute Academy.

“I did hear that someone had taken over East Dragon Island. Unexpectedly, it would be a nameless and minor cultivator who is not even a mid-level Human Immortal.”

The one who spoke up was very arrogant. Clearly, he was looking down on Chen Feng.

“These two are?” In the past, Chen Feng would have gotten furious. At that moment, however, Chen Feng maintained a calm look, not showing any anger at those comments. At the very least, that was how it would appear.

That said, upon meeting Chen Feng, Lan Ling also felt as though there was something greatly different about Chen Feng. He had seemingly become more steady and more mature. Additionally, there was also something else about Chen Feng that she could not quite put her finger on.

“Let me introduce. This is Senior Brother Tie Yuan and this is Senior Brother Feng Jian. They are both the genius cultivators from our Absolute Academy,” Lan Ling hastily introduced them.

“Greetings!” Chen Feng said smilingly.

“Greetings, Island Lord Chen!” Seeing the polite gesture from Chen Feng, the two felt a need to reciprocate.

“It seems fellow seniors have reached the mid-level Human Immortal stage for quite some time now. I think you two must surely possess formidable cultivation bases and a strong mastery of secret techniques,” Chen Feng continued smilingly.

“I cannot claim to possess a formidable cultivation base. However, the average cultivator is nothing in my eyes,” Tie Yuan said with a scornful smile, his face directed upwards. He was simply ignoring Chen Feng.

Chen Feng nodded and stopped talking to him. Next, he turned around to ask Lan Ling, “Senior Sister Lan, why are you here?”

“Ha ha ha! What is this? Can we not just come for a visit?” Lan Ling asked, laughing.

“Of course not. You fellows are always welcomed here,” Chen Feng replied smilingly.

Pondering for a moment, Lan Ling then said with a chuckle, “Junior Brother Chen, your name has been ringing loudly recently. You even dare mess with the Xu Family. Are you not afraid that they would come trouble you?”

“There will surely be some troubles coming. However, I do not believe that the Xu Family will come trouble me anytime soon. Even if they did, I will be able to handle it.”

“Tch!”

Hearing Chen Feng’s words, Tie Yuan and Feng Jian scoffed at the same time.

“You can handle it? Hah! The Xu Family is a first-rate sect. It is not something that a small island like this can handle. Do you really think that you can dominate this place just by taking over a few small islands? For those first-rate sects, eliminating your East Dragon Island is just a piece of cake,” Tie Yuan said with a ridiculing grin.

“Senior Brother Tie’s words make sense. However, I have not considered something so far away. If the Xu Family truly comes after me for revenge, then I will just have to give up on East Dragon Island and find a place to hide,” Chen Feng said with a chortle.

“You’re really timid.” Hearing Chen Feng’s reply, Tie Yuan found himself at a loss for words. In the end, that was the only thing he could say. Naturally, the fact that Chen Feng was willing to raise havoc in Void City for a friend was enough proof that he was no timid character.

“Better to be timid than to die, no?” Chen Feng continued, laughing.

“This fellow!”

Lan Ling, who was beside them, felt puzzled. In her opinion, Chen Feng was not such a good-tempered person. At that moment, however, the light within Chen Feng’s eyes showed that he simply did not think much about Tie Yuan and Feng Jian.

It had to be said, Tie Yuan and Feng Jian were mid-level Human Immortals. Due to that, they were very famous within Absolute Academy.

“Junior Brother Chen, the reason I am here is because I want to search for some spiritual herbs in the ocean region. Since East Dragon Island is also in this ocean region, I decided to drop by and ask you when you plan on heading to Absolute Academy and report in.” Lan Ling changed the topic of conversation.

“According to what you said back then, I am already a student of Absolute Academy. However, I have yet to register myself with Absolute Academy. The reason for that is because I simply had too many things to take care of. As it so happens, I have more or less finished up my affairs here. It is time I head to Absolute Academy and check it out. Absolute Academy is one of the Four Great Holylands of the Central Plains. I should be able to learn something by going there, right?”

Hearing that, even Lan Ling, Jian Qingwu and Jian Qingling felt the words to be unbearable, let alone Tie Yuan and Feng Jian. Chen Feng was simply too arrogant.

“Insolence! I want to see just what kind of abilities you have!” Tie Yuan could no longer hold back. Raising his hand, he then attacked Chen Feng.

Tie Yuan cultivated the dao of metal and his attack was incomparably sharp. Golden light suddenly flashed out and a great road made from gold assailed Chen Feng [1].

To think that he would be able to transform the power of dao into an attack! The cultivators from Absolute Academy are truly extraordinary. Although this is not yet at the level of grand dao powers, it is still impressive. Chen Feng chuckled. He was not feeling too worried. If that was an attack from an Earthen Immortal, condensed from true grand dao of metal, Chen Feng would have to take it seriously. However, in the face of this attack, Chen Feng simply reached out with his bare hand to intercept it.

“You want to take on my Grand Goldenlight Path with your bare hand? You have a death wish!” Tie Yuan sneered and the great road abruptly burst with a more dazzling golden light. Next, various golden spikes and sharp poles shot towards Chen Feng.

“Break!” Chen Feng’s palm swiftly grasped and golden light scattered as the Grand Goldenlight Path that Tie Yuan fired out was destroyed by his grasp. In the face of Chen Feng’s grasp, his indestructible power of metal became as weak as water.

Deng! Deng! Deng! Deng! Deng!

Tie Yuan kept stepping backwards, a look of horror on his face as he regarded Chen Feng. He could not believe that his attack had been so easily destroyed.

As for Chen Feng, he did not continue attacking. Instead, he smiled and said, “It is quite the decent attack. However, there is not enough power behind it.”

As he spoke, he exuded a natural aura of imperiousness, giving them the feeling that Chen Feng was an exalted character whose words ring with truth.

“This fellow! Were my eyes playing tricks on me earlier?” Jian Qingling mumbled, rubbing her eyes.

By then, Chen Feng’s fleshly body was already strong enough to take on attacks from a grade 7 Sacred artefact. If he were to channel his cultivation techniques to reinforce his body, he could even take on the attacks from a grade 9 Sacred artefact. Rather, he might even be able to take a few attacks from some lesser Dao artefacts.

As for Tie Yuan, he was only a mid-level Human Immortal. Cultivators at this level were nothing in Chen Feng’s eyes.

Tie Yuan’s face alternated between flushed and pale. Irritation turned to rage and he wanted to attack again, only for Feng Jian to stop him.

“Enough! This fellow is truly formidable. You cannot win, not unless we attack together.” Feng Jian sent him a secret vocal transmission.

“Attack together?!”

Tie Yuan was taken aback to hear that. Next, he held himself back and fell silent. If the two of them were to attack Chen Feng together and news of that spread out, they would become a laughing stock.

“In the future, we will be walking on the path of cultivation together. Additionally, the competition within Absolute Academy is also very intense. Now that fellow seniors have witnessed Chen Feng’s strength, I believe that you will have no objections with my suggestion earlier, no?” Lan Ling suddenly said smilingly.

“I have no objections. Junior Brother Chen is very strong,” Feng Jian said with a smile.

Tie Yuan nodded, not saying anything.

“You fellows...” Chen Feng smiled as understanding dawned upon him. “You were testing me.”

“Yes. The competition within Absolute Academy is very fierce. I want to invite you to our group. Is Junior Brother Chen willing?” Lan Ling asked smilingly.

“So, that’s what this is about. In that case, I will be in your care.” Chen Feng then nodded, agreeing to it.

Seeing Chen Feng agree to it, a look of delight flashed across Lan Ling’s face. Chen Feng’s strength aside, the fact that he could take over East Dragon Island was something else. It was not something that the average Human Immortal could accomplish. In the past, even some Earthen Immortals had failed to take over East Dragon Island, suffering a defeat in their attempts to do so. Naturally, what Lan Ling valued the most was Chen Feng’s potential.

Since her first encounter with Chen Feng, his strength had risen considerably. In just a short span of time, he could already throw Void City upside down. It was something that not even Earthen Immortals could accomplish.

“I wonder, when will Junior Brother Chen head to Absolute Academy?”

“Having you fellows visit is a rare thing. No matter what, you fellows must stay here for a while and let me entertain you. Not to mention, I also have to make some arrangements first.”

“By the way, I plan on building a teleportation array here on East Dragon Island. I hope that you can assist me with that.” Chen Feng then changed the topic of discussion.

“Build a teleportation array? I do not know much about that. I can help out with some support work. However, that is all. Besides, doesn’t this island already have a teleportation array?” Lan Ling asked curiously.

“This island does have a teleportation array. However, its grade is not high enough. I want to build a large-scale teleportation array, one capable of teleporting through a distance of millions of li or even tens of millions of li.”

Feng Jian contemplated it for a moment and said, “That is a big undertaking. It is not something that could be completed in a short time.”

“A high number of precious materials will be needed. Naturally, the most important item here is the diagram for the arrays.”

“Regarding the materials needed for building the teleportation array, I have plenty. I have also prepared the array diagram. Additionally, I have some Human Immortals amongst my subordinates who will be able to help out. I believe it will not take long.”

Chen Feng was right. One month after saying that, East Dragon Island managed to construct a large-scale teleportation array. Not to mention, this was Chen Feng’s first time building a teleportation array. If he were to do it a second time, he would surely be able to greatly shorten the time needed.

Chen Feng had obtained the array diagram for the teleportation array from Tower. Speaking of which, there were at least 10 blueprints for large-scale teleportation arrays within the items stored inside the Longevity Tower. Even so, Chen Feng decided to get it from Tower instead. Helpless, Tower went through his memories and personally drew out an array diagram for the teleportation array.

As for the materials needed, Chen Feng faced no shortage of the Void Stones and Void Break Stones needed to construct the teleportation array. He was also not lacking various types of spirit stones. In Chen Feng’s opinion, given the amount of materials he currently possessed, even the act of constructing 100 large-scale teleportation arrays was not a problem.

He also had many cultivators for the engraving work needed for the teleportation array. Counting Chen Feng’s subordinates alone, there were easily tens of Human Immortals that he could send out for the job. Additionally, there were also Chen Feng himself, Lan Ling and the others from Absolute Academy. Not to be forgotten as well were the few Human Immortals from the Xu Family branch. Thus, the construction process proceeded quickly.

“As expected, the more people we have, the more power we can field!” Chen Feng said, his heart stirring as he regarded the massive teleportation array standing before him.

After continuing to stay in East Dragon Island for one more month and finishing up the arrangements, he finally set off.

Jian Xiaotian had already set out earlier, going on an adventure somewhere in the ocean. Thus, Chen Feng decided to temporarily hand over the management of East Dragon Island to Ye Ziming. As there were eight peak-level Demon Kings there to safeguard East Dragon Island, Chen Feng was not feeling too worried.

1 Gold is a type of metal, but gold and metal share the same Chinese character ‘金’, pinyin: ‘jīn’. The reason I am translating Tie Yuan’s moves as golden is because he named it ‘金光大道’, pinyin: ‘jīnguāng dàdào’, loosely translated as ‘golden light great path’. The characters ‘金光’, pinyin: ‘jīnguāng’ usually means golden light. ?
