After Xing Ming said that only Nascent Soul cultivators could use the cross-border teleportation array, he deliberately paused and looked at Li Yan.
Li Yan nodded slightly and said calmly.
"That is, the cost of each use is very high, so high that only Nascent Soul cultivators can afford it."
Li Yan had already guessed this point. Based on his wealth after plundering a large number of storage bags in Fengliang Mountain, Li Yan felt that he was not an ordinary cultivator.
He was too lazy to count the low-level spirit stones he obtained in the battle. He had more than 340 mid-grade spirit stones. Even a Jindan cultivator might not be able to beat him.
When he was teleported back home from the Wuliang Sect, the teleportation of hundreds of thousands of miles only cost him six mid-grade spirit stones. Of course, for him at that time, it was almost all his assets.
Therefore, Li Yan felt that although the teleportation fee figure that Xing Ming was about to tell him was shocking, it would not be much different from his own. At most, he could just rob some other sects.
With his current level of cultivation, it should not be a problem for him to sneak into some second- and third-rate sects quietly. Moreover, he also has the "Heaven-Stealing Scarf" which might be an ancient treasure to break the ban.
But now, Xingming's next words made Li Yan's expression freeze instantly, and he stood there in a daze.
“Junior brother is right. To activate a cross-border formation, you need two thousand high-grade spirit stones, or one top-grade spirit stone.
What I'm talking about is not just the cost of spirit stones. The power required for cross-border transmission is not only extremely huge, but also needs to be extremely pure.
Therefore, to activate the teleportation array, only top-grade spirit stones and other natural treasures can be used. Even if it is a substitute, the lowest grade spirit stones must be of the upper grade, which is a huge burden even for Nascent Soul cultivators. "
"Two thousand high-grade spirit stones? One top-grade spirit stone? And it can't be replaced?"
Li Yan showed a shocked expression for the first time, but Xing Ming was not surprised by this.
"Is it expensive? This is a cross-border formation. How much power is needed just to teleport across the turbulent space
The monks traveling between the two continents are either the most powerful ones who are desperate. In order to avoid some disaster, they will give up everything they have to cross the border.
The other type is some financially strong business alliances, which may open branches on every continent.
They can take the raw materials from one continent to another continent and sell them at ten or a hundred times the price. Of course, they are not short of money.
Normally, it is best to use one top-grade spirit stone to activate the teleportation array, but if there is really no such thing, you can use one thousand high-grade spirit stones instead, but there will be some safety issues.
This is also the reason why a thousand more high-quality spirit stones are needed. In addition to the approximately five hundred required to activate the auxiliary magic array, the other five hundred are for transmission costs.
But if someone uses a top-grade spirit stone to teleport, there is no need to pay extra teleportation fees.
Because one teleportation cannot consume all the energy in the top-grade spirit stones, the used top-grade spirit stones are used as payment for the teleportation fee."
Li Yan was shocked beyond words. This teleportation formation actually required high-quality, or even top-quality spirit stones.
And if all the spirit stones on him, the magic weapons left after the heavenly tribulation, as well as spiritual tools, talismans, etc. were exchanged for high-quality spirit stones, he would be considered lucky if he could get twenty of them.
This is still under the premise that he can exchange it. Top-grade spirit stones are extremely rare in the market, and that kind of spirit stone usually only appears in the hands of high-level cultivators.
Li Yan had only seen the top-grade spirit stone in ancient books and heard of it in legends.
The spiritual energy contained in a top-grade spirit stone is roughly equivalent to that of a thousand high-grade spirit stones, but this does not mean that a thousand high-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for one top-grade spirit stone.
There are very few people in the world who can actually see a top-grade spirit stone. If you really have one in your hand, once you take it out to exchange it, it is possible to get three to five thousand high-grade spirit stones.
Scarcity makes things valuable. Although they are all top-grade spirit stones, there are differences between them.
Not all of them are perfect. Moreover, it is impossible for so many high-quality spirit stones to have the same five elements attributes. How can the spiritual energy provided by a top-quality spirit stone be as pure
“So I said that your master would not use the cross-border teleportation formation.
Of course, I am talking about normal circumstances. If your master has passed down something, you should be able to use this teleportation formation under certain conditions."
Xing Ming continued speaking, and Li Yan slowly recovered from his shock. He understood what Xing Ming meant.
That is to say, "If your great master left behind a large number of high-quality spirit stones, or even top-quality spirit stones, you can still use the cross-boundary teleportation formation."
However, he still heard some other negative meaning in Xingming's tone, and he keenly grasped a word.
"Brother said it is conditional? Why?"
“Hehe, this is the other condition I mentioned. Cross-boundary teleportation is an ultra-long-distance teleportation, and not every cultivator can use it.
Instead, one needs to have a diamond-like body like that of a Nascent Soul cultivator in order to withstand the pressure and tearing brought about by the teleportation process. Otherwise, the cultivator will be dismembered by the teleportation force and turned into countless pieces of powder.
However, if there is a Nascent Soul cultivator accompanying and protecting them, low-level cultivators can also be teleported with difficulty. It all depends on the strength of that Nascent Soul cultivator.
A strong one could make a low-level monk feel dizzy, or even protect multiple people at the same time. It was hard to say for a weak one.
If my guess is correct, your master was teleported to the Lost Continent with the help of your great master's magical power.
The last situation is similar to the second one, that is, the low-level cultivator himself has a magical defensive weapon that is against the sky, and of course he can also resist the destructive tearing force brought by the teleportation.
I said this, Junior Brother should know that your Master should have a greater chance of staying in the Lost Continent."
Li Yan's expression changed for a while, and then he bowed to Xing Ming. "I'm grateful for your guidance, Senior Brother! By the way, I still have a question that I don't understand, so I'll have to trouble you again."
"Oh, Junior Brother, tell me what I have to say and see if I can give you an answer."
Xing Ming did not care about this. As long as the other party did not ask about some great secrets that would bring disaster to the sect, he would of course be able to tell them.
“Brother, you also know that I was born in a remote and desolate place. There are some things that Master will not tell me before I reach a certain level of cultivation.
When I left the mountain several decades ago, my master’s arrangements were hasty and he left without giving me a chance to explain in detail.
What I want to know is why the White Demons and the Black Demons have such opposite attitudes towards our human race, and now the White Demons also intend to distance themselves from our human race?"
This question has also been hidden in Li Yan's mind for a long time, and no one has ever answered it.
After hearing this, Xing Ming's pair of dark eyes flashed with a sharp light, and then he was silent for a while. After Li Yan finished asking, he waited silently. If the other party can speak, he will speak, and if he can't speak, he will find an excuse to evade it.
He just needs to wait for the answer. No matter what answer the other party gives, Li Yan will naturally make his own judgment.
Five breaths later, Star Moth finally spoke.
"To be honest, Junior Brother, don't tell me about this matter. Even Senior Uncle doesn't know much about it."
He paused at this point. Li Yan thought to himself.
"You just don't want to talk about it. It seems that the reason for this matter is a big secret. Even a Jindan cultivator has to keep his mouth shut."
While he was thinking, Star Moth spoke again.
"But since Junior Brother Zhang is already the elder of 'Falling Star Valley', I will of course tell you everything I know. A lot of this is just my guesses, regardless of whether they are correct or not, you can just use it as a reference.
But you only know about this matter, don't tell others about it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Junior Brother Zhang should know about the war between the Black and White Demons, right?"
In response, Li Yan immediately nodded.
"The Xiahou family's cultivation method is contrary to the traditional demon clan's method, and they are regarded as aliens by the original demon clan."
"Well, since Junior Brother knows the whole story, I won't have to talk too much. The battle between the Xiahou family and the original demons lasted for a long time.
Later, because the Xiahou family's skills became more domineering and their attacks were more lethal, or more precisely, they could better exert the physical strength of the demons, the original demons were beaten back all the way to the current 'Holy Demon City'.
And just before the Xiahou family launched the final attack, they quietly retreated and divided the territory with the later White Demon Clan. Junior brother should have seen such records. "
Xingming took a sip of tea and roughly narrated the preface.
Li Yan also said, "Everything is just as Senior Brother said!"
"Then why did the Xiahou family, oh, that is, the Black Demon Clan, suddenly withdraw their troops? Junior brother, do you know?"
Li Yan's heart moved, but he still answered quickly.
“Junior brother has read a lot of classics for two reasons.
Firstly, there are also several gods in the original demon clan. When the Xiahou family launches a general attack, they plan to attack with all their strength, even if it violates the laws of heaven and earth.
Then, before being expelled from the Lost Continent, they all chose to self-destruct.
Just imagine, if so many gods were to self-destruct, the entire Lost Continent would probably be buried with them and would cease to exist, so the Xiahou family chose to withdraw their troops.
The second is that the 'Holy Demon Palace' is the birthplace of the original demons, and inside it is a superb magic weapon that is powerful enough to destroy most of the Lost Continent.
If the Xiahou family wanted to defeat the original demon clan, they would probably have to sacrifice most of their own disciples and their strength would be reduced to the lowest point.
Especially the entire western part of the Lost Continent with the Holy Demon Palace as its core also disappeared, and the Taoist tradition was completely destroyed, so in the end it was better to divide the land and govern it separately. Isn't this the reason that Senior Brother said? ? "
Xing Ming nodded. He asked the question to this extent, so it was understandable that the other party would have some doubts.
“That’s roughly what they say, but since the original demons had these two conditions, why did they wait until the Xiahou family attacked their lair before resorting to desperate measures
Of course, this kind of doubt has always existed, and they have sufficient reasons to refute it. If this is the case, why not just let the Divine Transformation cultivators rush forward to fight a life-and-death battle in every battle
The principles that the gods are subject to the constraints of the rules of heaven and earth, etc., are certainly tenable, and that is why they are widely circulated.
Let’s put these aside for now, but I have another opinion.
That was when the Xiahou family attacked the 'Holy Demon City', there happened to be a powerful human wandering in the city, whose origins and cultivation level were unknown.
He originally did not want to get involved in the internal fighting among the demons and planned to leave, but later an original demon elder in the city made some kind of deal with him, the content of the deal was also unknown.
Surprisingly, this powerful human being agreed to resolve the matter, so on the eve of the Xiahou family's general attack, the powerful human being quietly left the city and came to the Xiahou camp.
Without the knowledge of the 'Ancestor of the Dark Demon' Xiahou Shangxie, a letter was left beside his pillow.
There was only one sentence left on it: "The general has made great contributions, why did he destroy the lives of the people and divide the land to rule separately? They have nothing to do with each other!"
When Xiahou Shangxie woke up the next day and found the scroll, he was so frightened that his soul left his body. There were other Divine Transformation cultivators in his camp, but no one knew that someone else had sneaked in. "
Having said that, Xing Ming paused and looked at Li Yan, whose face showed a look of astonishment.
