Although he hadnât inscribed a teleportation array before, he was very confident at this moment.
From the moment the idea to set up a teleportation array linking the human safe zone and the Catastrophe-level Contamination Zone emerged in his mind, Xu Ran had already rehearsed it countless times.
Even if he hadnât inscribed it before, he was now full of confidence.
He had a deeper understanding of arrays and his cultivation had greatly improved, so the teleportation array he would inscribe naturally wouldnât consume as much Qi Blood as the teleportation arrays of the Exotic Star cities.
Even though this valley was remote and no Exotic Star creatures would come here.
However, appearing in such a dangerous place and instantly consuming a large amount of Qi Bloodâif that were the case, it would be better not to use a teleportation array at all.
Closing his eyes for a moment, the countless rehearsed plans in his mind were replicated once more.
Then, he opened his eyes.
With a wave of his hand, the ten stone pillars that were originally lying on the ground floated into the air.
Golden rays appeared in his hands, and thin golden threads like strands of hair wrapped around the ten stone pillars.
Gradually, the dark runes on the ten stone pillars dissipated, replaced by mysterious runes that emitted golden light.
These ten stone pillars, though materials for the teleportation array, were foreign objects from the Exotic Star; even if the core structure of the teleportation array remained unchanged, it merely had some commonalities.
Exotic Star materials couldnât be directly used; the Exotic Star runes inscribed on them had to be erased first.
With Xu Ranâs current rune skills, accomplishing this was just a matter of minutes.
After all, his level of rune inscription had even shocked the True Form of the Blood Riverâneither the Talisman Vengeful God specialized in talismans on the Exotic Star could match Xu Ran.
Moreover, at that time Xu Ran hadnât yet ascended to the Divine Level.
Soon, the rune inscription was complete.
The ten originally dark stone pillars now shone brilliantly in gold, unimaginable compared to their previous appearance.
Xu Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead and exhaled a breath of foul air.
"Inscribing a teleportation staff for the first time, and simultaneously inscribing ten pillarsâit indeed consumed quite a bit!"
"But fortunately, I rehearsed it countless times in my mind beforehand, so no problems occurred!"
Teleportation arrays arenât easy to inscribe, let alone a perfect array.
Inscribing for the first time and simultaneously inscribing ten pillars without any errors was incredibly beyond expectations.
Then, Xu Ran sat on the ground and rested for half an hour.
He needed some time to regain his strength.
After half an hour, he stood up again.
Closing his eyes, his ten fingers glowed golden as the thin golden threads reappeared.
This time, however, they didnât appear on the stone pillars but in the air, weaving together into intricate runes.
What Xu Ran had just inscribed on the pillars belonged to the materialâs runes.
What he was inscribing now could be considered the arrayâs core, equally the most important part.
Under Xu Ranâs operation, the originally intricate golden threads gradually became clearer, each segment exuded a mysterious aura.
"Masterâs teleportation array inscription technique is truly remarkable!" Round Dragon flapped its angelic wings, exclaiming in astonishment.
Teleportation arrays also represent a kind of display of the power of space.
And Round Dragon itself possessed terrifying space power; otherwise, it couldnât have housed a Spatial Bag within its body.
As Xu Ranâs Crystal Beast, it knew its master, Xu Ran, didnât possess any power of space.
Yet, being able to inscribe a teleportation array requiring terrifying space power so quickly showcased Xu Ranâs extraordinary prowess.
As Xu Ran inscribed the arrayâs core more deeply, the speed of inscription increased, causing more sweat to drip from his forehead.
At this moment, the golden threads woven into a massive array in the air, initially the size of a spiderâs web, now expanded to the size of a football field, with no intention of stopping.
The football-field-sized golden threads hovered above Xu Ranâs head like a golden ocean.
If not for the absence of Exotic Star creatures in the Catastrophe-level Contamination Zone, it would absolutely attract every Exotic Star creature.
Suddenly.
"Ah!"
A loud shout resonated throughout the entire valley, echoing for a long time without dissipating.
Round Dragon, hearing it, beamed with joy, "Is it about to succeed?"
After speaking.
A vast power of space erupted from Xu Ranâs body.
Simultaneously, the golden threads the size of a football field rapidly expanded outward, enshrouding the entire Catastrophe-level Contamination Zone in an instant.
But only for an instant, the golden threads swiftly contracted, shrinking to the size of a seed, hovering before Xu Ran.
This golden seed represented Xu Ranâs final achievement.
Xu Ran slowly opened his eyes, gazing at the golden seed in front of him, wiping sweat from his forehead and saying, "Finally succeeded!"
Although inscribing the teleportation array took Xu Ran only half a day, as the person involved, he felt like ten years had passed.
Considering that Xu Ran was only thirteen years old now, experiencing the span of ten years was naturally quite grueling.
Fortunately, the arrayâs core was completed.
Without any rest.
With a wave of his hand, the ten prepared stone pillars stood in the empty space, forming a circle about one hundred square meters.
The moment the ten stone pillars were erected, golden light radiated, countless golden threads extending from them, mutually attracting, thereby connecting the ten stone pillars.
Seeing this, Xu Ran directly tossed the recently acquired golden seed into the empty space encircled by the pillars.
A golden vortex appeared, and on the other end was an expanse of void.
"Once I return to the safe zone and set up another teleportation array, the task will be complete!" Xu Ran nodded in satisfaction.
A teleportation array, connecting two places, naturally requires two teleportation arrays to be utilized.
If one enters without two synchronized teleportation arrays, they would be teleported directly into the void.
The void is a place where even Supremes cannot surviveâcertain death.
With a wave of his hand, the golden light dissipated, and in the valley, apart from the extra ten stone pillars, it seemed nothing had occurred.
"Master, is it finished?" Round Dragon flapped its small wings and asked.
Xu Ran thought for a moment and replied, "The teleportation array is finished, but I need to create a concealment array to cover it just in case!"
Immediately, Xu Ran began inscribing the concealment array.
Compared to the teleportation array, the concealment array was like heaven and earth.
Perhaps even more than half of Xu Ranâs students could inscribe a concealment array.
Soon, with a few swift strokes, within three minutes, the concealment array was completed.
Xu Ran clapped his hands and said, "Done, now itâs foolproof!"
"Once the map is handed over to the Celestial Summit Pavilion for large-scale printing and given to the Godslaying Squad for training, thatâs all thatâs needed!"
After finishing this, Xu Ran and Round Dragon walked out of the valley, using Divine Sense to search for traces of Tiger Girl and the others, frowning, "Where have they gone?"
...
At this moment.
Led by Tiger Girl, the group had already collected all the gems and absorbed them.
Time Gems, 50 Space Gems.
Following the mapâs guidance, they arrived at the most edge city of the Catastrophe-level Contamination Zone.
Now, they were looking up at the sky, reminiscing about what had just happened.
"The commotion just nowâwas it created by Big Brother!" Tiger Girl gazed at the sky and said.
After they absorbed the gems, the sky suddenly burst with a golden hue, covering the entire Catastrophe-level Contamination Zone, visible to anyone who wasnât blind.
"Within that golden light, I felt a power of spaceâit must be Big Brotherâs teleportation array!"
As the one in charge of space power here, Tiger Girl naturally sensed the aura emitted by the array.
"Judging by the situation, Xu Ranâs teleportation array seems to have succeeded!" Zhu Yuheng remarked.
As his words fell, Xu Ranâs figure appeared before them.
"Big Brother."
"Xu Ran."
"Captain."
The group exclaimed in surprise.
Seeing this, Xu Ran said, "Looks like youâve absorbed all the Time Gems and Space Gems in the Catastrophe-level Contamination Zone!"
According to the map he had provided earlier, this city was indeed the last city with gems, also the most edge city of the Catastrophe-level Contamination Zone; one step further was the entrance to the Exotic Star.
Then Xu Ran turned to Tiger Girl and Zhu Yuheng, asking, "After absorbing the gemstone power, did you notice any improvements?"
