Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 328: The First Teleportation

Golden light flickered, and the array disc in Tang San's hand emitted a gentle glow. Instantly, the entire array began to tremble slightly, and strange energy waves spread out, seemingly affecting the entire Golden Valley.

Spatial fluctuations were very peculiar. The complexity of the space element was hard to understand, as it involved more than just energy changes; it had many mysterious aspects. Even the Peacock Demon clan, who were naturally adept at sensing the space element, couldn't fully grasp the mysteries of space.

At this moment, the spatial fluctuations became intense within the complex array, and the entire area seemed to become unstable.

Zhang Haoxuan signaled the others to move further away. If spatial tears appeared, ordinary people couldn’t possibly survive.

But at that moment, a strange change occurred. The initially chaotic spatial fluctuations started to display some regularity, and a closer look revealed that the changes in fluctuations corresponded to the changes in the patterns lighting up on the teleportation array. All the fluctuations became orderly and were confined to a specific range.

Tang San said to Zhang Haoxuan, "Master, in a moment, use your divine consciousness to envelop us, then enter the light gate of the teleportation array. Throughout the teleportation process, make sure your divine consciousness is stable. Remember, only use it to protect us; do not probe outward to avoid being pulled by spatial forces."

"Alright!" Zhang Haoxuan nodded thoughtfully.

Tang San reminded him again, "Space is just too powerful. Do not try to probe it lightly, or it may cause your divine consciousness to be shattered. You can’t recover from that, ever."

"Hmm... Yes, that makes sense," Zhang Haoxuan agreed once more. "Tang San, maybe I should try it alone. You don't need to come with me."

Zhang Haoxuan knew very well how terrifying the power of space was, and he was worried that if something went wrong...

Tang San shook his head. "It's fine. Although our teleportation array isn't very powerful and it’s not stable enough for ordinary people to use, I don’t think the two of us will have issues. Let's begin."

His divine consciousness was recovering faster and faster, and Tang San was confident in the teleportation array he had created. He just wanted to accompany Zhang Haoxuan to ensure his master didn't experience any mental or emotional fluctuations during his first teleportation. With Tang San's divine consciousness protecting them, there would be no problems.

The array disc in Tang San's hand emitted a golden light as he spoke. The gentle glow became brighter, and layers of light within the array began to converge toward the center. Gradually, a three-meter-tall, two-meter-wide light gate began to take shape at the center of the array.

The members of the Shrek Squad held their breath at the sight. They had witnessed Tang San and Zhang Haoxuan setting up the teleportation array and were somewhat skeptical about whether such an arrangement would really work.

However, they realized their doubts were meaningless when the light gate appeared before them. Reality proved that they were really going in the right direction.

Tang San nodded to Zhang Haoxuan. "Let's go!"

Zhang Haoxuan activated his divine consciousness, enveloping himself and Tang San in an invisible force. The two of them walked side by side into the light gate.

As soon as they entered the light gate, Zhang Haoxuan immediately felt a dizzying sensation. Everything around them seemed to be spinning at that moment. The strange energy changes gave him an indescribable, marvelous feeling, but also made his heart tighten.

"Keep your mind inward; do not probe outward."

Tang San's voice echoed in Zhang Haoxuan's mind. He couldn't help but shudder, quickly abandoning the urge to explore the mysteries of the universe and focusing his attention inward.

Suddenly, their bodies felt light for a brief moment, and all the surrounding distortions gradually faded away. Everything became clear.

Zhang Haoxuan was astonished to find that he and Tang San were now in a familiar room. Wasn't this his residence in Academy Town?

The light gate behind them gradually faded away, and everything returned to normal. The array patterns under their feet shimmered brilliantly and then slowly dimmed.

Tang San handed the array disc to Zhang Haoxuan and said, "Master, keep the array disc safe. You don't need to worry about the valley; the array can draw energy from the Golden Tree. But here, for each teleportation, you'll need to use a spatial gemstone. When we go to the Ancestral Court, we'll see if we can buy some higher-energy gems to use multiple times."

Zhang Haoxuan had not yet recovered from the shock of their first teleportation. Hearing this, he looked at Tang San and murmured, "This is truly amazing. It worked! Tang San, you really are..."

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "Don’t worry too much. Maybe we'll create a teleportation array that can directly send us to the Ancestral Court in the future. As long as we have enough resources, it's possible."

Zhang Haoxuan laughed heartily. "Who knows, by then, humans might have already defeated the demons and nymphs and truly risen."

Tang San didn't respond to this. How difficult would it be for humans to defeat the demon and nymph races? They were just too powerful. Even with Tang San's help, and even assuming the demons and nymphs didn't hinder human development, it would still take hundreds or thousands of years for humanity as a whole to evolve. Undoubtedly, letting humans grow gradually seemed unlikely ever to surpass the demons and nymphs. Not to mention, even if Tang San regained his God King level cultivation, he would have to consider the balance of the world and couldn't favor a single race.

Of course, Tang San would not dampen Zhang Haoxuan's enthusiasm now. He smiled and said, "We'll work hard together, and humans will always have a chance to rise. Master, I'll leave the array disc with you. You can try it again later. Testing is necessary, so don't be stingy with the resources. We must make sure that if anything happens, we can evacuate all students and teachers immediately."

Zhang Haoxuan nodded. "No worries, I understand how to operate it now. A few more tests will do. Now I can finally relax. Before we go to the Ancestral Court, I'll teach this teleportation method to Si Ru so I can accompany you to the Ancestral Court with peace of mind."

"Yes. Our progress in the Great Beast Fighting Arena should speed up. I will request the arena to schedule matches for us. The next two should be fairly easy to win," Tang San said with a smile.

Zhang Haoxuan was taken aback. "You’re that confident?"

Tang San nodded slightly. He had already paid the price of three array discs, so how could he not be confident?

The Great Beast Fighting Arena soon received a notification from the Shrek Squad that they wished to continue participating in the team battles. The arena was, of course, pleased to hear this. Although the Shrek Squad was not considered top-tier in evaluations, the revenue they brought to the arena was undoubtedly the greatest. They had become the arena's star team recently.

Their popularity had soared, making them one of the hottest presences in Kali City. And naturally, in the eyes of humans, they were the human team. Nobody knew their identities, as the arena never revealed such things, and their faces were concealed by masks. Otherwise, they would have long since been worshiped as idols by every human being in Kali City.
