Black Book Summit. Beneath a mountain peak, three figures slowly appeared, namely Ye Zhongming, Jie Su, and Pao Bai.
Pao Bai first scanned the surroundings cautiously before sitting down slightly relieved and whispering, “That was torturous.”
The formation disk that teleported them directly from Layered Water Desolation to Black Book Summit was one of the few finished products Ye Zhongming obtained from the Library Palace. It was improved by book keepers based on the ancient teleportation arrays at the entrance of the Library Palace.
It could be used for long-distance teleportation on a planet.
However, spatial abilities have always been the most difficult capabilities for all life forms to master. Even the book keepers from the Library Palace could only produce a “defective” teleportation disk through generations of accumulation and research.
The reason it is called defective is that there are two types of these disks. One is the kind that Ye Zhongming and the others just used, which can teleport over long distances on a planet. Though the distance is limited, three disks are sufficient to teleport a circle, even on the equator of this planet, which is considered a large planet in the universe.
When in use, there will be terminal assistance, and after inputting the map, one can set the teleportation distance and location.
However, the energy consumption is enormous, not to mention that it is a one-time use.
Yes, this kind of disk costs as much as a million Moon Age Gold, and using it once also requires consuming a million Moon Age Gold—one-time use!
And due to the extremely high cost of manufacturing the formation disks, the number of life forms that can be teleported cannot be too many; otherwise, the manufacturing and consumption costs will multiply.
The cost of the last teleportation was two million, which corresponds to the cost of the three-person teleportation disk. If it increased to four people, the cost would directly soar to four million.
Even for Ye Zhongming, this is a luxury that cannot be used unless absolutely necessary.
Moreover, although he knows how to manufacture such teleportation disks, he currently does not have the ability. Ye Zhongming cannot manufacture these disks, and the only two long-distance teleportation disks he has were given to him by the Library Palace.
The other type of spatial disk, however, can be used multiple times but has a much shorter teleportation distance. Despite the book keepers' efforts, the farthest distance they can achieve is only about a hundred kilometers.
Of course, this type of disk has two methods: one is guided teleportation that consumes a lot of energy like long-distance ones, and the other is point-to-point teleportation between two disks, which consumes much less energy. However, it naturally requires the destination to be pre-installed.
The second type of teleportation disk can accommodate more people or items than the first type.
This was the first time for Ye Zhongming and the others to use such a disk. Although the book keepers repeatedly assured them of its safety, relieving Ye Zhongming of worries about failure, they did not mention the feeling during the teleportation. After the experience, the three found it utterly… unbearable.
It was excruciating; their bodies felt as if they were being torn apart, and they experienced dizziness, weightlessness, and loss of bodily control. If not for the fact that it only lasted for a few seconds, they might have wished for death.
After resting for a while, Jie Su looked at Ye Zhongming and said, “Since you decided to take action at this time, you must have a plan, right?”
Ye Zhongming nodded, then shook his head.
“I have a plan, but it requires a bit of luck.”
…
With a loud crash, a super ninth-level three-headed wind sparrow fell heavily to the ground, creating a large pit.
“Your Highness, did you see clearly?” A middle-aged man landed on the three-headed wind sparrow and looked at Zimu with a calm expression.
“Strength is in your hands, but how to use it? Is it awakened through the essence veins and flesh within your body as everyone says? No, that’s just the most superficial method. The true activation of power requires using this…”
