"Once we ascend, the strong winds will be fierce. With our strength, we won't be blown away, but it will be difficult to hold on for long. With this wind wall forming a protective barrier, it will block the external winds and allow us to conserve some energy," Sean Sterling said, sitting on the shoulder of the Green Dome, facing away from everyone.
Bu nodded in understanding but said nothing. At that moment, Sean Sterling's voice came again: "Everyone, hold on tight. Let's go."
A long cry echoed from the Green Dome as its claws pushed off the ground and its wings spread wide. Bu felt a lightness all over, as if stepping onto a ladder, and then they were airborne.
...
In the vast expanse, layers of white clouds rolled like waves, and gusts of wind surged like tides. The massive body of the Green Dome was but a drop in the ocean.
With the wind wall created by Sean Sterling forming a protective barrier outside, even as the strong winds raged in the air, they could not affect anyone in the slightest.
"Where exactly is the Spatial Teleportation Array?" Kalandor asked, unable to contain his curiosity after his initial amazement.
Hearing this question, Bu and Reynold, who were also intrigued by the matter, turned their attention to Sean Sterling.
"There are a total of Twelve Great Cities in Crook Duchy. Above each major city is a Silver Rune that exists between reality and illusion. This rune is a scaled-down version of the Spatial Teleportation Array by hundreds of times. By using some Azure Jade as a medium and focusing our thoughts, we can reach the imperial capital," Sean Sterling said slowly, half-closing his eyes as he sensed several gazes gathering behind him.
"What? The Spatial Teleportation Array is actually built in mid-air?" Kalandor exclaimed with wide eyes, finding it hard to believe. Even though he was a direct descendant of the Arthur Royal Family, he had no right to know such secrets before gaining control of family power.
Unlike Kalandor's disbelief, Bu and Reynold were surprised but found it within the realm of acceptance.
Bu had crossed over from another world; no matter how strange things were, nothing could be more outrageous than that. As for Reynold, being the young master of the Thunderous Merchant Guild and having some family authority meant he had heard bits and pieces about such secrets and had some expectations in mind.
"Who besides mages at Intermediate Level 4 or above or High-Level Warriors could even approach a teleportation array built in mid-air? Such a Spatial Teleportation Array seems too excessive," Kalandor said as he regained his composure from his shock.
Sean Sterling merely smiled and shook his head in response. Bu felt his face twitch slightly as his eyelids drooped; he chose not to explain further.
Kalandor was slightly taken aback, and then seemed to realize something as he looked down at the rapidly flying Green Dome, exclaiming, "A flying Contract Beast? Could it be a flying Contract Beast?" Kalandor suddenly understood, but then frowned and muttered to himself, "But Contract Beasts are already extremely precious; flying Contract Beasts are worth their weight in gold.
Even low-tier flying Contract Beasts are worth thousands of gold coins. To spend such a fortune just for a means of transportation seems excessively extravagant."
Although the others heard Kalandor's murmurs, they chose to ignore them.
After some time of flying, the location of the Spatial Teleportation Array was now in sight.
In the air ahead, a mysterious Silver Rune floated unsteadily. This rune was about the size of a palm, its light flickering between existence and non-existence. The surrounding air was distorted by its influence, creating twisted patterns, and an overwhelming pressure suddenly descended upon everyone, as if the void itself were collapsing.
"This... is this the Spatial Teleportation Array left over from ancient times?" Looking at the Silver Rune nearby that seemed to contain world-destroying power, Bu's expression was somewhat dazed.
Although Sean Sterling had mentioned it before, seeing it in person left Bu feeling incredulous. In his impression, a Spatial Teleportation Array should occupy a large area; even if it were suspended in mid-air, it should exist in some sort of formation.
However, this palm-sized Silver Rune, despite appearing extraordinarily mysterious and unfathomable, gave Bu an inexplicable sense of strangeness.
"The Spatial Teleportation Array... constructed using the power of spatial rules, bridging distances and containing vastness within a tiny space; only a master of divine arts can touch it. Don't be fooled by the delicate appearance of this Spatial Teleportation Array; it is actually an exterior formed after being transformed by the power of spatial rules, seeming both real and unreal.
Once inside, space is infinite; a distance of a thousand miles can be crossed in the blink of an eye," Sean Sterling said as he maneuvered the Green Dome closer to the floating Silver Rune, leisurely introducing it to the three.
"Containing vastness within a tiny space..." Bu's eyes flickered as he gazed thoughtfully at the Silver Rune.
At that moment, Sean Sterling stood up and took out five fist-sized pieces of crystal-clear Azure Jade from his pocket. Judging by their color and purity, their quality should be even higher than that of the Azure Jade Tokens given to Bu and others.
"Once I transfer the energy from these Azure Jades into the Spatial Teleportation Array, this array will activate. At that time, breaking through the Spatial Barrier for long-distance transmission will create intense Spatial Turbulence. If one is not careful, they could be pulled into the void by the force of Spatial Turbulence and become utterly lost. Remember, do not let your guard down."
Sean Sterling, with a serious expression, finished his explanation and waved his hand. Five fist-sized Azure Jades emitted a captivating crystalline glow and shot toward the floating Silver Rune in the air.
Bu and the others watched intently, their eyes fixed on every move of Sean Sterling, feeling cautious and not daring to be careless for even a moment.
As the five crystalline Azure Jades approached within ten zhang of the Silver Rune, they rapidly shrank, their internal energy dissipating into wisps of energy mist. In just a moment, the energy within the five Azure Jades was completely consumed, their crystalline color fading into five clouds of powder that scattered in the air with the wind.
At that moment, the Silver Rune suddenly shone brightly, and rippling patterns of disturbed air appeared around it. Bu and the others felt an overwhelming pressure, as if being pushed away by an entire world. From the center of the Silver Rune, a blurred spatial vortex emerged, resembling a mysterious passage to an endless world.
"The Spatial Teleportation Array has been activated. Hold on tight; we're leaving," Sean Sterling commanded in a low voice, driving the Green Dome toward the Silver Rune.
An extraordinary scene unfolded as they drew closer; the originally palm-sized Silver Rune appeared to grow larger in Bu's eyes. The spatial vortex at its center became increasingly clear and profound, as if connecting to some unknown world.
Shaking his head, Bu quickly realized that it was not the Silver Rune growing but rather that they were shrinking. Just like the five Azure Jades before, the closer they got to this Spatial Teleportation Array, the smaller their own size became.
Bu Xin was astonished, finally understanding in a true sense how vast and unfathomable the power of spatial rules could be. It was beyond what Force or magic could compare to; perhaps these two were not even on the same level.
This space represented the highest power of rules, symbolizing cosmic laws intertwined with time. Space and time formed a world together, creating universal order.
As he gazed at the increasingly larger Silver Rune, Bu focused intently on it.
The rune was shaped like an octagon, surrounded by intricate silver patterns. Upon closer inspection, it indeed formed an array. As it gradually enlarged in Bu's eyes, it transformed from a mere rune into a grand and magnificent array containing endless space.
On the surface of this teleportation array shimmered countless points of silver light, which were reminiscent of the colors of the runes seen by Bu Chuo earlier. These points of silver light were formed by threads piercing through the void.
The threads resembled white silk—translucent and ethereal—seeming both real and illusory. Within them surged a destructive energy that made Bu's scalp tingle; just one glance gave him a sensation of being instantaneously sliced into countless fragments, causing his eyes to sting painfully.
Beside him, Reynold and Kalandor also suffered a hidden loss while peering in.
"Do not look, do not ask. When the time comes for you to know, all mysteries will be revealed. The secrets of space are extraordinary; without extraordinary strength, do not foolishly attempt to comprehend them." Seemingly aware of the actions of the three behind him, Sean Sterling shook his head lightly and smiled, his eyelids lowered as if he held a deep secret regarding the threads of silver light.
Hearing this, Bu touched his nose and muttered inwardly, "Is it really that mysterious? This old man truly thinks of himself as the Buddha, saying 'the Buddha says no' just to appear profound." Despite these thoughts, Bu no longer looked at the illusory threads and instead focused on circulating the energy within his body, firmly attaching himself to the back of Green Dome.
"Prepare yourselves; we are about to break through the Spatial Barrier. Hold on tight." Just as Bu secured his body, Sean Sterling's urgent voice came through, followed by an overwhelming pressure descending like mountains.
Green Dome surged forward, directly facing the Deep Space Vortex. Bu's pupils contracted, and his heartbeat nearly stopped; at that moment, it felt as if he had penetrated some kind of barrier. It was like a fish leaping out of water onto the riverbank.
This sensation felt familiar and reminiscent; Bu immediately recalled the endless light gates in the long passage before crossing into Fran Continent.
The moment he inadvertently stepped through a light gate, that feeling of penetrating a barrier and entering another world was particularly strong. Now, this sense of familiarity surged again in his heart; though not intense, it stirred something within Bu Xin, as if he had realized something yet remained confused.
There was no time to think further; Bu felt darkness enveloping him, and his body seemed to lose gravity entirely, floating as if entering a vacuum.
At that moment, an extremely chaotic and violent tearing force suddenly descended. Bu's body sank as if pressed down by immense ocean depths; every muscle ached painfully, and his limbs felt as though they were being violently pulled and struck by invisible hands. Even his mind wavered slightly, with a buzzing in his head rendering him almost deaf.
