Secret of Ancient Teleportation Formations

“Secret, huh? Now we’re talking.”

Ku Mu released eight rays of light in eight different directions, conjuring a replica of the void formation in the air. “The teleportation formation was erected when Pill Cauldron Sect was first established. I have no means of tracing backs its history. Nonetheless, I can tell you that its abilities surpass our imagination. You can use it to travel any of the other eight heavens.”

The nine void formations linked up a line of light as they spun, drawing a yin yang symbol that was subsequently installed into the nine. The yin yang symbols then emerged from one and travelled to the next, going back and forth between the nine.

“I was equally surprised when I first discovered it could be used to travel to the eight other heavens for it meant that our knowledge in Third Heaven is but one ninth of what is out there.” Ku Mu wagged his arm, conjuring Dabai and Dahei around his fingertip. “The world we are in is known as Third Heaven. There are lots of secrets about Third Heaven that we have yet to unearth. Third Heaven Palace, the eight great sects, the supposed end of the world the fiend races reside at, they’re all but a tip of the iceberg. Alchemists are but grains of sand at a shore, and alchemists are the weakest cultivators whether they want to admit it or not. What’s important is for you to not be drunk on your alchemy abilities and think nobody will touch you. When your life depends on it, prioritise your life.”

“Don’t give me that disdainful look. I’m not a fragile alchemist,” Mu Yu uttered quietly.

“I assume you’ve been to Second Heaven. Second Heaven and Third Heaven were once similar until the former was destroyed over five millenniums ago. Second Heaven isn’t inferior to Third Heaven, but a powerful entity turned the former into desolate land. In other words, the same entity can do the same to Third Heaven. Alchemists, therefore, must learn not to indulge in momentary gains for the reason that the destruction doesn’t discriminate between alchemists and non-alchemists.

“The entity that wiped out Second Heaven came from another world. Races from the other worlds are far mightier than races in Third Heaven. I’m stressing these points as I don’t want you to limit your attention to Third Heaven. You may not encounter races from the other worlds in your lifetime. You will, however, encounter scheming, two-faced cultivators. Some won’t care who you are; they’ll kill and rob you before they worry about it. All you can do is master the art of formations as best as you can so that you have a means of defending yourself.”

“Never in my life did I imagine I’d hear this sort of lecture from you, Dad.”

“Over three thousand years ago, Pill Cauldron Sect’s ancestor also agreed to explore Second Heaven together with other sects. That is the reason they employ the void formation to send Primordial Infant Realm cultivators to Second Heaven. A void formation exists in every world, meaning a total of nine exist. Depending on what formation you use to activate them, you will be transported to the world accordingly.

“The fiend race also has their own teleportation formation. Ten thousand years ago or so, they made a deal with one of Pill Cauldron Sect’s ancestors to erect a formation for them. Their formation only provides passage to Second Heaven and Third Heaven. Don’t celebrate yet, though.

“Nobody has been maintaining this formation as nobody knows how to. If there are missing lines in the formation, the formation can only send people between two specific worlds, namely Second Heaven and Fourth Heaven.

“Although I fixed the lines to allow passage to Fourth Heaven and worked out the method to reach it, I ended up sealing the passage as Fourth Heaven is far too dangerous for anyone from Third Heaven to survive. Don’t even think about going there until you have ascended to Apotheosis Realm.”

“I don’t plan on touring the other worlds. Besides, I haven’t stomped Third Heaven Palace out or revived you yet, Dad. I still have numerous goals to accomplish in this world.”

“If you have been to Revealing Cauldron’s dimension, you would know that the dimension is similar to cosmic sleeves. Cosmic sleeve formations are rather easy to break through and can’t store living organisms. A dimension that a void formation creates, on the other hand, can house living organisms. I will now tell you about void formations’ lines. See if you can comprehend it.”

As he listened to Ku Mu’s lecture on each line of the formation, how to cast void formations and the eighty-one characters one needed to make sense of, Mu Yu thought, I’m probably the only person in this world who can keep up with you, Dad.

Evidently, Ku Mu explored Chen Tiandao’s Celestial Staircase after he had acquired an abundance of knowledge on formations. Otherwise, Chen Tiandao would not have had let him try.
