Chapter 687 - 665: Damaged Teleportation Array
Chapter 687: Chapter 665: Damaged Teleportation Array
Heading to the Divine Land, apart from the Land of the Far South being poisonous, the sea beyond it is also shrouded in poisonous mist.
Shen Han inscribed the label [Resistant to Poison] onto the outer robe.
He then donned the robe to pass through the Land of the Far South, using this to test the effectiveness of the label.
Upon trying, the effect wasn’t particularly good.
After inscribing the label, it indeed had a poison-resisting effect.
But it only worked to some extent, not completely resisting.
The intrusion of poison weakened, but it still required him to operate the "Unceasing Skill" to guard against the lethal poison of the Land of the Far South.
Shen Han had previously thought about using this label to help Madam Yun and others reach the Divine Land.
But now it seems this plan is difficult to implement.
Even wearing a poison-resistant robe, one would still be harassed by the poison.
The effectiveness was poor, so Shen Han no longer focused his thoughts on this.
He concentrated on dealing with his own matters.
On the side of the Divine Land, after connecting with the Southern Heaven Continent, many changes occurred too.
Within various sects, people’s hearts were affected to some extent.
The new cultivation system indeed stirred anxiety in many hearts.
Especially for those who were neither progressing nor regressing.
Reluctant to abandon their entire strength to undergo Washing Marrow.
During the journey, Shen Han visited Yu Chou and Yu You.
He shared all his understanding from the Southern Heaven Continent with the two of them.
He also left behind some basic cultivation techniques from the new system for them to study.
After staying a few days, he also met with Su Jinyu.
The situation in Great Wei, she was actually aware of.
She could now communicate with the Su Family, naturally knowing about the changes happening in Great Wei.
Nowadays, uncertainties arise everywhere.
When Shen Han was about to leave, Yu You and Yu Chou didn’t have the intention to dissuade him.
In such a situation, neither knew what the best decision would be.
So naturally, they could only let the young ones venture themselves.
Walking through that passage, Shen Han once again arrived at the Southern Heaven Continent.
Returned, actually in pursuit of advancement.
Aiming to step into the Second Grade of the Immortal Realm, the heart thought had seemingly reached the brink.
Just a step away from breaking into the Second Grade.
But his body strength, physical power, was still lacking a bit.
The simplest way to enhance body strength is to consume Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that can enhance body strength.
Such things are said to be a matter of chance.
Shen Han had seen quite a few Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
But many of them did not have the effect of enhancing body strength.
Their uses were largely medicinal.
If not for certain injuries, these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures wouldn’t be necessary.
Many things are named Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but their actual effects aren’t significant.
Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are determined by rarity and function together.
Some things are very rare, possibly unseen for a hundred years.
But their effect is useful for treating certain injuries or ailments.
Like the Heart-Breaking Vine, in Shen Han’s view, they truly live up to the name of treasure.
If encountered again, it would not be bad.
In his thoughts, Shen Han had already taken out the map.
Flying westward on the Southern Heaven Continent following the map’s indications.
According to what it shows, what he’s looking for seems to be a cone-shaped object.
Shen Han didn’t understand what kind of thing this was.
But from Elder Sizhi’s words, this was needed for the old cultivation method.
Conversely, those cultivating the new system wouldn’t use this item.
Without much hesitation, Shen Han proceeded towards his target.
Even if the item found held little significance, at least it served as a training opportunity.
The Southern Heaven Continent is truly vast.
Heading to the place marked on the map, it took nearly a month just to travel.
During the journey, Shen Han also received various message transmissions.
On the side of Great Wei, people from Tiger Peak Manor had started searching for Shen Han’s whereabouts.
Tiger Peak Manor didn’t have many people, but the manor was wealthy, with plenty of resources.
Spending resources, they had recruited many to help search for Shen Han’s whereabouts.
The entire Great Wei Country had been divided into several zones.
Searching in a carpet-like manner by surrounding.
This method, although slow, produced the best results.
Step by step, enclosing and searching.
Even if he escaped to the countries of Qi or Yan, the same method could be used to investigate.
At the same time, others were encouraged to provide information related to Shen Han.
Shen Han wasn’t a lone traveler.
Shen Ao knew that as long as they couldn’t capture Shen Han, finding the remaining individuals like those at Yun Mansion and Xiaoyao Peak would suffice.
Such encirclement was particularly effective for those without enough strength.
The more frightened they were, the more likely they were to expose flaws.
Upon hearing these reports, Shen Han reassured Madam Yun and the others to stay as calm as possible.
The territory of Great Wei isn’t large, but the search was thorough.
To search the whole of Great Wei would take at least ten years.
This was achievable with the help and recruitment of many strong individuals.
As for Shen Han, the threat from these actions currently seemed not significant.
But it did reveal Tiger Peak Manor’s animosity towards him.
Finding oneself is so difficult, yet they still insist on doing it.
In the eyes of Tiger Peak Manor, they are a powerful sect on the Southern Heaven Continent.
It is only natural for them to try to kill me and take my life.
Just like that day with Yu Yan, when every word coming out of her mouth was about making me atone for my sins.
They persecute others, yet in their words, it’s about redemption.
Provoking them is a crime, not making them happy is a crime.
Shen Han slaying their core disciple from Tiger Peak Manor is a crime beyond forgiveness.
Tiger Peak Manor will never give up on dealing with Shen Han.
It’s not just talk when they say they’ll fight to the death.
After more than thirty days of travel, Shen Han finally reached the location marked on the map.
It is a valley in the mountains, and within the valley, at the location shown on the map, there is a tremendously dilapidated courtyard.
Were it not for some signs remaining, you couldn’t even tell there was a courtyard here.
Once a courtyard loses its human presence, it decays very easily.
With concentration, Shen Han summoned several sword shadows, cutting down all the deep weeds in the courtyard.
Sword shadows swarmed throughout the courtyard.
Nowadays, Shen Han is exceedingly skilled in using sword shadows.
Soon, the rough outline of the entire courtyard finally emerged.
Who knows how many years it has been for the courtyard to decay to this extent.
The old beams are completely rotten.
Shen Han tried to search within the courtyard.
Judging by the courtyard’s dilapidated state, it’s possible there’s nothing to be found.
Casting his gaze around the courtyard, he inspected various items’ etchings.
Finding himself a bit perplexed.
But in the process of searching, Shen Han did find something unusual.
At the location of the main house in the courtyard, he discovered something amiss.
[Broken Teleportation Array]
Seeing these words appear, Shen Han finally understood what this map was trying to convey.
Focusing intently, he removed the [Broken] description.
Then placed a [Sturdy] description onto it.
Once everything was done, Shen Han did not hesitate much and stepped into the teleportation array.
The whole process felt quite similar to stepping through the passage that connects the Southern Heaven Continent and Great Wei.
When he came back to his senses, he was already lying in the midst of a dense forest.
Rising and covering the teleportation array, Shen Han then started exploring within the forest.
His form floated, rising directly above the treetops.
From a high vantage point, Shen Han now located his position.
Though deep in the forest, it wasn’t particularly large.
Beyond this mountainous region, not far away, he could see a sizable city.
The map he had received directed him only to this courtyard, without further guidance.
However, the map indicated what it was pointing towards.
This cylindrical object with a conical top, Shen Han speculated, might be a key of some sort.
If it truly is a key, it holds little meaning for me.
Instead, I need to know exactly where this key is used.
Once I know the location for its use, I can easily extract what’s inside using the power of the descriptions.
With these thoughts in mind, Shen Han then headed towards the city.
The cylindrical object had a peculiar pattern on it.
Perhaps I can start from there.
Entering the city, Shen Han could see that the people around were still practicing with the new cultivation system.
But after a glance around, he didn’t spot any top-level masters.
Not even a single expert comparable to a Third Grade in the Immortal Realm.
Casually strolling.
The architectural style around him was not much different from that on the Southern Heaven Continent.
It seemed the same lineage had passed down.
However, Shen Han decided to move cautiously.
Whenever arriving in an unfamiliar place, caution is necessary.
Even though those he saw were not exceedingly powerful.
But who knows if there’s some way they are concealing themselves, or perhaps the strong have not yet appeared?
After a round through the city, Shen Han found an inn to stay at.
New to the area, he casually gathered some information.
Firstly, this city is called Ping City.
Due to the surrounding continuous mountain ranges, and within these ranges, there lies a vast plain.
The city was purposely established here, hence the name Ping City.
Ping City belongs to the Lingxiu Country.
Shen Han asked a few simple questions, but didn’t learn much.
However, he understood that he couldn’t continue interrogating.
The more questions you ask without getting answers, the more you draw attention.
Sitting in the inn, Shen Han made an effort to listen to the conversations around him.
Ping City was bustling.
From the conversations he overheard, it seemed something had happened, drawing many foreign visitors.
For this reason, Shen Han, being an outsider, didn’t stand out as much.
Upon realizing this, Shen Han relaxed a little.
With so many outsiders, asking about other matters wouldn’t be problematic.
With these thoughts, Shen Han ceased to worry, and thus went to ask the inn servant some questions.
He spent some gold and silver and bought a booklet.
It seems, people everywhere are the same.
Every time something like this happens, they come with news, selling it for a little money.
