The Way of The Dao

"It will be 3 million middle grade spiritual crystals if you want to use the formation to travel to Heaven territory!"

One of the guards said indifferently. These people were wearing combat armor and had their personal weapons at hand.

"Okay, here you go."

Shin Wei handed a storage ring to the guard.

The guard took the storage ring, his spirit sense scanned inside before nodding slightly and handing the storage ring to another guard. Then, he turned to Shin Wei and said, "Okay! In a moment the formation will be activated and you will be able to travel. Only 5 people are allowed to use the formation at a time!"

The guard said that and stopped looking at Shin Wei, not caring anymore.

"3 million middle grade spiritual crystals? Isn't that too much?" Li Fengyuan asked in a low voice once Shin Wei returned. Her complexion was somewhat pale as she looked at the large amounts of spirit crystals that were easily given out.

Everyone was waiting for them to activate the formation and be summoned.

"It varies depending on where we go. Since the Heaven territory is a more remote place, it increases the price, while for the Sea Heart territory they only require 1.5 million middle grade spiritual crystals." Shin Wei nodded and explained what he was told once he asked about the use of the formation.

The Sea Heart territory was somewhat close to the territory where they were located, so the cost of travel in the formation was less unlike the Heaven territory!

"Besides, it's not as if it was our money that was reduced. Thanks to those guys' generous contribution, we still have 1 million more mid-grade spirit crystals from them." Shin Wei shrugged with an innocent expression.

The woman and the two men had given up and handed over just over 4 million spirit crystals to Shin Wei in exchange for him to let them go. Shin Wei quietly accepted and with that money paid for the use of the formation.

"But trouble with them won't stop following us, huh?" Ling Tian spoke casually, causing them to notice that there were several people discreetly watching them, as if they were monitoring them.

"Will it be because of those people?" Li Fengyuan asked in a low voice.

"Most likely. They should have a connection with someone here." Xuanyuan Ling lightly answered Li Fengyuan's question, realizing that more than 10 cultivators were sneaking glances at them.

Most of them had an average cultivation between the Nascent Soul and Body Condensation level. Only the guards had a cultivation at the Peak Stage of Body Condensation.

Although the incident occurred outside the city, there could have been witnesses who would have witnessed them.

Suddenly, two more people arrived. These had an appearance of over 30 years old, wearing inconspicuous yet noticeable robes among the people.

"Middle Stage and Peak Stage of Separation and Reunion." Shin Wei frowned as he saw their cultivation bases instantly.

The two men also frowned as their gazes landed on Shin Wei. They only saw Li Fengyuan for a second and then Xuanyuan Ling, with whom they lingered a bit longer as they saw her cultivation base. They paid no attention to Ling Tian as they saw that he was a just cripple.

"The formation is ready! Come up!"

After a long while of waiting, the guard shouted loudly to Ling Tian's group, signaling them to get on the platform.

The teleportation formation was guarded and well restrained, with patterns and designs all around, while standing on what looked like a small platform.

The guards arrived and deposited small mountains of the middle grade spiritual crystals that Shin Wei delivered to specific points on the formation, activating it and causing it to absorb the spiritual energy of the spiritual crystals.

"That's barely a quarter that was delivered, right Master?" Li Fengyuan noticed the amounts of spirit crystals and whispered to Ling Tian, not wanting to bring trouble with her question.

"It takes a considerable amount of spiritual energy to activate the formation, but of course, the rest would be considered as fee for using the formation." Ling Tian nodded and did not worry about this, knowing that it was normal for large amounts of spiritual crystals to be charged even though with an adequate amount the formation would work.

"Once the formation is activated you cannot move, let alone talk! Because you can disrupt the teleportation and die in the process!"

The guard looked at Ling Tian's group causing them to be silent and listen.

" You are going to experience dizziness, nausea and even vomiting once you arrive!"

"Radiant Sun City is not responsible if anything happens to you on the transportation, so any incidents that occur will be taken care of by you!"

The guard finished speaking and nodded to his companion nearby to activate the formation.

Unconsciously, Li Fengyuan moved closer to Ling Tian and inadvertently grabbed the corner of his clothes, having a bit of nerves and fear when traveling in a teleportation formation for the first time.

"Looks like it won't be so easy to leave." Ling Tian smirked as the pair of men who had arrived last approached the guard and spoke quietly to him, indicating instructions.

Urging the power of the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures, Ling Tian covered Xuanyuan Ling, Li Fengyuan and Shin Wei with his aura. His spirit sense imperceptibly connected with the formation as he finished activating.

Shin Wei also covered Xuanyuan Ling and Li Fengyuan with his aura, making sure he had them bound with his energy so as not to make too much of a burden for Ling Tian.

The two men finished talking to the guard and looked mockingly at Ling Tian's group before quickly leaving, as if they wanted to carry the news of something important.

"I already marked them with my spirit sense!"

Shin Wei looked coldly at the two men running away, knowing that they were planning something.

"Get ready!"

The guard shouted loudly once more before signaling his partner to activate the formation and send the group into the Heaven territory.

A powerful spatial force shook the formation, enveloping Ling Tian's group and making them disappear instantly.

"What a pity."

The guard muttered to himself before returning to his place of surveillance.

The ups and downs in space moved intensely across the entire void, creating spatial ripples in their way.

"Haha! I knew it!"

Ling Tian's mocking voice was heard as he began to feel the turbulence in space, feeling more and more of the void energy beginning to flow into the teleportation tunnel.

It seemed that they altered the flow of the formation so that they would be torn apart in the teleportation or sent into the void!

"In a few seconds, cracks of the void will begin to open, so they are waiting for us to be killed by the force of the void."

Ling Tian spoke calmly.

"Master!" Li Fengyuan clung to Ling Tian as she felt the turbulent energies of space as well as a sense of terror beginning to be felt faster and faster.

Xuanyuan Ling tried to maintain a calm expression but was still slightly worried, especially remembering the last time she was lost in the void if not for Shin Wei and Ling Tian going after her.

Shin Wei was the only one along with Ling Tian who did not show despair, maintaining great confidence in Ling Tian. A cultivation essence giant hand formed and gripped the two women tightly, not wanting to make the mistake from last time.

"It's okay! Don't worry! I'll control the flow of space to arrive safely."

Ling Tian put his hand on Shin Wei's shoulder and began to mobilize the space principles around them, quickly calming the turbulent flow of space.

The small cracks in the void that was beginning to form quickly closed, turning the sensation of moving through space smooth and calm.

A suction was soon felt as the four were swallowed up by an imperceptible entrance, touching solid ground again as they returned to the other space again.

Natural sunlight again shrouded them, making everyone conscious again.

"We arrived."

Ling Tian nodded and Shin Wei quickly pulled the shuttle out of its ring, with everyone stepping off the platform.

A group of numerous people looked at Ling Tian and the others, realizing that they were users who used the teleportation formation before losing interest and going their separate ways.

"Wait..."

Li Fengyuan only whispered those words before approaching the nearest structure and leaning against it. Her vision was spinning as she felt like she might vomit at any moment. She tightly closed her eyes as she tried to steady her breathing.

Xuanyuan Ling took a deep breath, feeling slightly less nauseous thanks to being somewhat accustomed to teleportation. But she still felt some general discomfort.

Ling Tian and Shin Wei looked at each other and smiled helplessly, looking at the two women in such a state.

"Heaven Territory?" Ling Tian asked the nearby guard, who nodded as he had a dumbfounded look on his face when he saw the group, as if he had never expected to see these people appear.

The other guards also looked at Ling Tian and the others, and kept their gazes mainly on Shin Wei as they were unable to look at his cultivation base.

"Everything okay?"

Ling Tian asked with a small helpless smile to Li Fengyuan.

"Yes, everything is fine, Master. I apologize..." Li Fengyuan nodded, still breathing deeply as the strange feeling passed.

Ling Tian looked at Xuanyuan Ling asking the same question, who the latter nodded calmly.

"Okay, it's time to go to Old Ye's house."

Ling Tian took out the special talisman that Feng Ye had given him and poured his Chi into it, instantly activating it and transforming into a small crane as it was consumed in fire and began to fly in a certain direction.

Feng Ye had said that that special rune would guide them towards his Feng family's territory.

"Let's go."

Ling Tian along with the others quickly boarded the shuttle, following the trail of light.

One of the guards on site watched the shuttle disappear into the clouds, before running towards a giant building with an expression full of shock.
