Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2042 1490: Spread Throughout

The Divine Path had long considered the varying strengths of the many powers, so the array was not difficult to arrange; on the contrary, it was rather simple, though quite tedious.

Thus, the Li familyʼs array masters quickly grasped the layout of the Teleportation Array.

After Li Debo learned of this, he had them go collect Spiritual Objects to prepare for the upcoming formation of the arrays.

At the same time, those few top-tier Immortal Dao Powers also verified that there were no issues with the array before they confidently passed the Method on to the various factions.

In order to save time and resources, although the Eight-direction Heavenly Pillar Array was utilized, not all powers were drawn into the system—only those of the Heavenly Immortal Power rank were connected and tasked with spreading the methods outward.

After all, each Heavenly Immortal Power controlled vast territories and had no shortage of subordinate forces.

Moreover, even for relatively independent powers that were not subordinates, they could go to the nearest Heavenly Immortal Power and receive the method for free.

This was a rule set by those top-level powers. If there were any force that refused to comply, once discovered, it would be punished!

Naturally, the Li family would not stir up trouble for themselves or others in such a trivial matter. Upon formally receiving the method, they immediately informed their subordinates, telling them that if interested, they could come to Mount Wanxian and collect the method.

As the subordinates rushed to Mount Wanxian, the Li family had already begun arranging the arrays.

Li familyʼs initial plan was to set up seven Teleportation Arrays within Shanhai State, four of which would be distributed at the east, south, west, and north of Shanhai State.

The other three would be located at the Ten Thousand Immortals Mountain Range, the junction of land and sea, and in the Wanling Market of Wanling Island.

The array located within the Ten Thousand Immortals Mountain Range would not be open to outsiders and would permit only cultivators of the Li family to use and travel through.

However, as the familyʼs array masters grasped and understood the Teleportation Arrays further, they found that the greater the teleportation distance, the higher the resource consumption. But, by adding a few transit stations between two Teleportation Arrays, the cost could be markedly reduced!

Though in the short term, this required more input of Spiritual Objects, over a longer timeline it would actually save resources.

Therefore, Li Debo ultimately agreed to add a few more Teleportation Arrays.

At the same time, Immortal Cities and Marketplaces were built at the locations of the Teleportation Arrays, gathering Loose Cultivators and earning Spirit Stones from them.

As for whether anyone might use teleportation to attack the Immortal Cities or Marketplaces from within, this, too, had long been guarded against by the Divine Path.

The array included multiple countermeasures, such as Restrictions that suppressed Mana and imprisoned Divine Sense; and for instance, if attacked from within, a self-destruction mechanism would be triggered.

It could be said that the Divine Path had indeed put extreme care into the matter of the Teleportation Arrays!

...

But to speak of the present—

For a time, numerous construction sites bustled across Shanhai State.

Yet under the mighty power of cultivators, the basic structures quickly took shape, and in no more than a month, imposing Immortal Cities or marketplaces had risen from what was once open ground.

At the same time, the Teleportation Arrays had all been set in place by the Li familyʼs arrangement.

But at present, these arrays were but empty shells; for them to truly function, it was still necessary to communicate with the corresponding Star Gods, have them inject Star Power, and maintain a long casting of starshine.

If other powers might encounter troubles or difficulties approaching the Star Gods, the Li family faced no such problems at all.

Even though Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo had long maintained a low profile, their very existence could not be ignored.

Thus, these Star Gods, to varying degrees, all had to show them some respect.

Yet the Li family did not take advantage of this relationship; instead, they maintained a humble attitude in dealings with these Star Gods, and did not take much of a share of the Spirit Stones, remaining fair in profit distribution.

The Star Gods, naturally delighted, agreed without hesitation.

Buzz—

With the Star Gods channeling Star Power, the Teleportation Arrays were finally truly activated.

There were over a dozen Teleportation Arrays in Shanhai State; except for the one on Mount Wanxian, all the others were open for use.

However, due to the high cost, for example, teleporting from the land-sea junction array to Wanling Island required a thousand Spirit Stones!

For Loose Cultivators, this price was still too expensive—for a trip that only saved a day or two, there was simply no need to spend so many Spirit Stones.

As such, Loose Cultivators seldom used the arrays, still traveling as before; in contrast, Li family cultivators used them much more frequently.

However, as time passed, many Immortal Dao Powers in East Continent successively installed Teleportation Arrays; the Li familyʼs array was no longer an isolated island, but incorporated into the transfer network, allowing direct passage to other regions of East Continent, greatly saving travel time—albeit at a great cost.

Strictly speaking, the Teleportation Arrays could lead to any other array, but as regions and powers differed, artificial boundaries and restrictions were established to control this.

For example, the range of teleportation for cultivators of East Continent was limited to within the East Continent—they could not directly reach West Continent, the Southern Domain, and such; for cross-regional travel, they still had to rely on flying themselves.

Moreover, even within East Continent, some Teleportation Arrays in important positions would not be open to outsiders.

...

Shanhai State, Western Immortal City.

”So this is the Li familyʼs territory?” A young cultivator, dressed in splendid attire and of distinguished appearance, emerged in the array.
