Building a sect from scratch.

"Teleportation array..."

At the same time, Fang Xianyu, who was observing Nietzsche's team, also began to consider this possibility.

The Realm of Return to Nothingness contains spiritual energy, immortals and gods, and magic.

Although Fang Xianyu had at most completed compulsory education plus an ordinary university, she had been in the Guixu Realm for over a hundred years, but she still couldn't figure out the workings behind these things.

"Immortals and gods" are not idealistic, or rather, they are not purely idealistic concepts. Whether it is immortals and gods, spiritual energy, or anything else, they are all objectively existing matter or non-matter, not something that is imagined by so-called "my thoughts". Therefore, their operation has its own logic.

For example, the Wind Control Technique, which is commonly used by cultivators, can be simply understood as using spiritual power to control the airflow, thereby "lifting" oneself.

Of course, the specific logic is much more complex than this, but Fang Xianyu has not explored it.

Therefore, the classic formation of "teleportation array" also has its own operating logic.

In short, the "teleportation array" is not a passageway; there is no possibility of needing to traverse the Soul-Devouring Rift. This is different from the passage Fang Xianyu used to connect to Blue Star through the system and project the consciousness of her Blue Star family into the Void Realm. The latter is a continuous, uninterrupted passageway; once Fang Xianyu's energy supply is insufficient, or if she unilaterally cuts it off, the passageway becomes useless. The former, however, is different; the teleportation array is not a "passage" that can be cut off at any time.

This doesn't mean that people teleported by a teleportation array simply appear from one point to another without any reason. There is actually a teleportation process involved, but no one has yet figured out how it works. Even the legendary progenitor of arrays, who has disappeared into the annals of history, cannot explain the principles behind teleportation arrays. They have simply discovered its logic and applied it, even mastering it to a high degree.

This way of thinking about the world is very similar to that of the ancient people of Earth, who knew what happened but not why. Both China and other countries have gone through this stage until the Age of Exploration and the birth of modern science.

So, is the principle by which the teleportation array operates, i.e. its teleportation process, higher than the rules of the Soul Devouring Rift?

Fang Xianyu had some guesses in his mind.

The Soul-Devouring Rift is more like something subjectively formed by some indescribable entity, while the principle behind the teleportation array is probably the objective laws or rules that exist at this time.

If that's the case, the difference in power between the two is immediately apparent. The only thing that needs to be determined is the entity that manipulates the Soul Devouring Rift—perhaps it's a will, perhaps it really is Yinglong. In any case, will this entity deliberately block teleportation?
As far as Fang Xianyu knew, in the Guixu Realm, the rules of teleportation arrays had never failed. Whether it was various ancient secret realms or numerous small worlds with varying concentrations of spiritual energy, as long as there was spiritual energy, the teleportation array would work. The only way to make a teleportation array malfunction was to destroy the teleportation array itself.

So, optimistically speaking, unless the mastermind behind it personally destroys the teleportation array—if it still exists—Fang Xianyu can easily use the teleportation array to bring everyone out!

but……

"If teleportation arrays work, why haven't they tried them?"

Guantangbao wasn't too optimistic about everyone's guesses. She analyzed, "If the teleportation array really worked, surely the Sword God back then, or all those immortals and gods of the Sword Sect, would have thought of this method? So why didn't they try it? They couldn't have designed this plot specifically for us, could they? That would be too crude a design!"

"Why don't we just ask them!" Renxin Huadao was too lazy to guess. He chose to be direct and urged the Jade Emperor and Wu Ke, "Why don't you two ask them why they didn't escape through the teleportation array!"

The Jade Emperor was also eager to know the answer, and immediately asked Dai Min. "Teleportation array..."

Dai Min shook his head and said, "Of course we tried. Not to mention, there were many teleportation arrays in the Sword Sect, some of which even led to the Penglai Sect and the Taiyi Sect. But after the incident, the Tiangui Mountain was shaken and the mountains collapsed and the sea cracked, and all of these teleportation arrays were destroyed, none of them survived."

Wu Ke pressed further, "Didn't you try to repair it?"

Dai Min sighed: "It can't be repaired. At that time, the entire Tiangui Mountain was in complete chaos. By the time the Twelve Sword Maidens managed to maintain order in the Sword Sect, the locations of those teleportation arrays had completely failed."

Wu Ke scratched his head: "Direction?"

The Jade Emperor was aware of this concept, and he casually explained, "It's just coordinates!"

Wu Ke was even more confused: "Setting up a teleportation array requires coordinates, right? Why don't we need them?"

The Jade Emperor whispered, "The one we bought was a pre-made, simplified version, it's not the same! The coordinates have already been set up by the sect merchants! Didn't you notice that it always teleports to the same few teleportation points that are already open? We can't use teleportation points like the Guangcheng Sect's and the Ziwei Sect's old site!"

"Oh……"

Although Wu Ke had no more questions, Guan Tangbao's voice rang out again in the team channel: "But even if coordinates are needed, it's impossible for all the Sword Sect disciples to be trapped here, right? There must be some outside. Didn't they think of setting up a teleportation array?"

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor hesitated for a moment before passing the question about soup dumplings to Dai Min.

Dai Min smiled bitterly: "Of course there are lucky cultivators. We sent thousands of disciples to various places to carry out a plan... To my shame, the Sword God later told me that if it weren't for that plan, the Sword Sect probably wouldn't have suffered such a disaster."

Before the Jade Emperor could keep an eye on him, Wu Ke brazenly asked, "Is this some kind of plan to resurrect Yinglong?"

A rare look of surprise appeared on Dai Min's face: "Huh? How did you know?"

The Jade Emperor glanced at Wu Ke with a helpless expression, but to his surprise, the big light bulb looked back at him with an innocent and puzzled look, as if to say, "Why are you looking at me?"

The Jade Emperor suppressed the urge to criticize Wu Ke's intelligence and could only first tell Dai Min the whole story: "We discovered the Sword Sect's disappearance by chance because we found a small world that could revive Yinglong. Our sect leader also wanted us to investigate whether there were any survivors in the Arctic Flowing Continent... ah, that is, Tiangui Mountain, the land of divine punishment you mentioned..."

Dai Min suddenly realized, "That's right. The original plan set up three blood sacrifice secret realms: one in Zhongzhou, one in Wankuzhou, and one in Xuanzhou. They were three different altars for shaping Yinglong's bones, flesh, and soul. You were in Zhongzhou, so what you encountered should be the bone altar."

At this point, a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes: "Have you encountered any Sword Sect disciples who are outside, or descendants of Sword Sect disciples? I remember there were several hundred disciples in that Blood Sacrifice Secret Realm!"
