Chapter 1182: Chapter 1167: Personal Matters
To Ye Zhen, whether bringing five people away from True Profound Continent or ten makes no difference.
Therefore, Ye Zhen agreed readily to the condition of four slots proposed by the old ancestor of the Devil God Palace.
Compared to these, the few questions raised by the old ancestor of the Devil God Palace are the real key.
“Senior, should this junior take a Divine Soul Oath?” After agreeing, Ye Zhen added.
The old ancestor of the Devil God Palace dismissively waved his hand, “That’s just a trick to fool ordinary people, a means used mostly by the weak.
Since you have agreed to the old man, then even if you had ten guts, you wouldn’t dare to breach the contract and sneak away quietly, right?”
“Besides, doing so would bring you no benefits!”
“Let me solve the problem of how to activate the Ancient Teleportation Formation.”
Ye Zhen nodded, the old ancestor of the Devil God Palace was indeed correct; firstly, Ye Zhen could not withstand the consequences of breaching the contract, and secondly, there was really no need for it.
“To activate that Ancient Teleportation Formation, you face three issues: whether it is one-way or two-way, meaning whether you can return after going, the issue of spirit crystals required for teleportation, and the final issue of how to control it,” said the old ancestor of the Devil God Palace.
“Actually, when you combine these three issues, their solutions all lie in a key item,” said the old ancestor of the Devil God Palace.
“What item?” Ye Zhen asked.
“Teleportation Formation Token!”
“Teleportation Formation Token?”
“Correct, it’s the entire grand formation’s control command talisman. With this token, everything becomes very simple, but if you don’t have this token, then you have to rely on luck.
Basically, it can only be used for one-way teleportation, and the spirit crystals required for teleportation cannot be controlled; you can only place them to the maximum extent.
As for how to activate it, if you’re lucky, and find an Ancient Public Teleportation Formation, if it’s not closed, you can activate it by placing enough spirit crystals.
But if you find a teleportation formation specifically used by a sect or power in the Ancient Times, then your idea of leaving True Profound Continent will go down the drain.
Because an ancient teleportation formation belonging to a specific power or sect requires its control command talisman to activate,” said the old ancestor of the Devil God Palace.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen’s heart immediately hung in suspense.
If after all this trouble, they found a teleportation formation owned by an ancient sect or power and didn’t have the control command talisman, then they would truly be in trouble.
“Senior, how do we determine if the teleportation formation is a public one or a special one?” Ye Zhen asked nervously.
“The biggest difference between a public teleportation formation and a special one is the size!”
“In Ancient Times, there were giants as large as mountains, Demon Beast bodies were even more enormous, and some Demon Race beings’ true bodies were said to be able to cover the sky and block out the sun.
Therefore, ancient public teleportation formations were known for their size, often built at the convergence of earth veins, starting size being dozens of miles in radius, and those spanning hundreds of miles were not uncommon.
Whereas special teleportation formations were built according to the needs of the sect or power. Larger ones could not drastically reduce their size, thus were built quite large, and those with ordinary bodies built theirs quite small.
Generally, the size of special teleportation formations ranges from ten miles to a hundred miles in radius, with ten miles being the most…”
Before the old ancestor of the Devil God Palace finished speaking, Ye Zhen’s face had already turned unsightly.
“Seems like you found a special teleportation formation?” seeing this, the old ancestor of the Devil God Palace asked.
“Only ten miles in radius, it should be a special teleportation formation…”
“Well, did you find a control command talisman?” the old ancestor of the Devil God Palace asked.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen shook his head, but halfway through, he suddenly had an idea and hurriedly asked, “Senior, may I ask what the control command talisman typically looks like?”
“That’s hard to say.”
“It’s subject to the formation creator’s likes, but most are in the normal command talisman shape! Furthermore, due to the critical importance of this control command talisman, materials used for its forging are mostly extremely durable and hard to destroy.
And typically, one side of the control command talisman would have the name of the ancient teleportation formation engraved…”
Listening to this, Ye Zhen’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.
The conditions mentioned by the old ancestor of the Devil God Palace were very similar to the mysterious iron token engraved with the word ‘Hei Huang’ that Ye Zhen obtained from the alternate space beneath the sea.
Ye Zhen originally intended to take out the Hei Huang Iron Token to consult the old ancestor of the Devil God Palace, but after considering it slightly, he abandoned this somewhat risky move.
If this Hei Huang Iron Token is indeed the control command talisman for the ancient teleportation formation, its importance is self-evident.
Though the old ancestor of the Devil God Palace’s status is prominent, who knows what thoughts might arise, better to keep it secured.
“Senior, we indeed obtained a command talisman extremely hard and heavy like a great mountain, engraved with the word ‘Hei Huang’ on the back, very similar to what you said about the ancient teleportation formation control command talisman.
But the problem is, we’ve tried various methods yet cannot refine it,” Ye Zhen said.
“Oh, may the old man take a look?”
After pondering for a moment, Ye Zhen shook his head, “Sorry, senior, that item is not with me.”
“I wanted to see such an ancient artifact, but it seems there’s no chance!”
“According to what you said, I can basically confirm that the Hei Huang Iron Token is indeed the control command talisman for that ancient teleportation formation you discovered, and it should be called the Hei Huang Teleportation Token.
As for the inability to refine it, the reason is simple. Not only you, but even if the ancient True God descended, it would be impossible to use Divine Sense to refine and control that Hei Huang Iron Token,” said the ancestor of the Devil God Palace.
“Why?” Ye Zhen was puzzled.
“Because the Hei Huang Teleportation Token fundamentally does not require refinement. If it’s an unowned item, just drop a drop of Origin Essence Blood to recognize the master. If it has an owner, you need to kill the possessor first, then you can use blood recognition,” said the ancestor of the Devil God Palace.
“Blood recognition?”
Ye Zhen’s face showed an extremely strange expression. Ye Zhen had thought of many possibilities but never expected the Hei Huang Iron Token to be so simple as to be recognized by blood.
“Basically, many powerful treasures from ancient times are recognized by blood,” the ancestor of the Devil God Palace added.
This sentence suddenly made Ye Zhen think of how the Mirage Dragon Pearl on his chest showed mysterious abilities after unintentionally absorbing his blood from the chest.
The thought immediately made Ye Zhen understand many things; why the Mirage Dragon Pearl hanging on him for many years during childhood only showed its effects when he was about to turn sixteen.
The reason was that Ye Zhen didn’t recognize the Mirage Dragon Pearl by blood until sixteen.
Only then did Ye Zhen acquire the ability to listen to the beast language and a series of subsequent encounters.
“Thank you for your guidance, senior. I estimate that the Hei Huang Iron Token is indeed the control command talisman for the ancient teleportation formation. Once I return and try it with my brother, we’ll know. However, I have a few more questions to ask you, senior,” Ye Zhen said a little embarrassed.
“Ask whatever you want to know…,” the ancestor of the Devil God Palace said amiably.
Ye Zhen raised questions for nearly two hours.
Ye Zhen did his best to present his doubts sincerely and sought advice from the ancestor of the Devil God Palace before him.
Especially, Ye Zhen urgently wanted to know about the Primordial Continent, the news regarding the Sun and Moon Divine Sect’s divine envoy from the Upper Realm, and so on.
Unfortunately, this ancestor of the Devil God Palace was not all-knowing.
As he said, his bloodline’s heritage memory is from 100,000 years ago, mostly regarding the demon race. Many things could only provide Ye Zhen with references, common knowledge, but could not truly explain.
But even so, Ye Zhen benefited immensely. Many answers shocked Ye Zhen, practically overturning his previous understanding.
For example, the twelve hexagonal Crystal Stones Ye Zhen got from Ming Tang’s storage ring are called High Grade Spiritual Stones.
What shocked Ye Zhen even more was that the currently most precious Supreme Spirit Crystal on the True Profound Continent is merely a Low Grade Spirit Stone on the Primordial Continent.
As for why the most precious Supreme Spirit Crystal on the True Profound Continent is just a Low Grade Spirit Stone on the Primordial Continent, the reason lies in the origin of the True Profound Continent.
According to the ancestor of Devil God Palace, the True Profound Continent was merely a fragment knocked off from the Primordial Continent during the ancient True God war and wasn’t gathered back.
Because of this reason, the True Profound Continent has incomplete Heavenly Dao that cannot be comprehended.
Also, due to this reason, the True Profound Continent lost the unique supplement from the Primordial Earth Vein.
The Earth Vein on the True Profound Continent, are all later naturally generated.
The most direct consequence is the Spirit Crystal Veins on the True Profound Continent produce Spirit Stones that are innately deficient, fundamentally incomparable to the Spirit Stones of the Primordial Continent.
Regrettably, the martial artists who ended up on the True Profound Continent could only redefine the grade according to the size of the naturally generated crystals.
The smallest is called a Low Grade Spirit Crystal, better ones a Mid-grade Spirit Crystal, even better is called High Grade Spirit Crystal, and the best is called Supreme Spirit Crystal.
The Supreme Spirit Crystal is equivalent to the Low Grade Spirit Stone on the Primordial Continent. Basically, most Supreme Spirit Crystals in the True Profound Continent erupted from veins produced before it was fractured.
Moreover, without the supplemental Qi from the original Earth Vein, the quality of veins on the True Profound Continent declined repeatedly, resulting in fewer veins producing Supreme Spirit Crystals.
This is why Supreme Spirit Crystals are becoming scarcer.
However, according to the ancestor of Devil God Palace, the twelve High Grade Spiritual Stones Ye Zhen obtained from Ming Tang hold significant value.
Because the exchange rate between Spirit Stones is the same as between Spirit Crystals, a minimum rate of one to hundred for each grade difference.
In other words, each of those twelve High Grade Spiritual Stones is equivalent to ten thousand Supreme Spirit Crystals.
This certainly counts as substantial wealth.
“Finished asking?”
Seeing Ye Zhen stop asking, the ancestor of the Devil God Palace asked with a smile.
Ye Zhen nodded.
“That’s good, since you’ve finished asking the official matters, there is a personal matter old I wish to discuss with you!” said the ancestor of the Devil God Palace.
“Personal matter?” Ye Zhen looked bewildered!
