Chapter 1209: A New Beginning
Two figures sped through multiple layers of clouds. They were Su Mo and Qin Busi.
After leaving the Craftsman Guild, the two soared at full speed. They headed for a place called Valley Tongyu within Star Beiling.
Valley Tongyu was a transit station for travelers from the other stars to Star Beiling. There was a Starry Sky Teleportation Formation.
Via the Formation, one could travel to other stars.
Steward Chai had already briefed them. All they needed to do was to follow the travel route.
Within the Ancientspirit Galaxy, people could travel to and fro the nearer stars via the Teleportation Formation.
However, some stars were so far away, so they could not reach via the Teleportation Formations. Flying was the only option there.
Fortunately, he did not need to fly to Star Guzhou. He could travel via the Transporting Formation.
However, one needed to transfer several dozen times. There was no way you could reach it one-stop via the Transporting Formation.
"Su Mo, that Honorable Sorcerer tribe did not follow us!" Sweeping his gaze around, Qin Busi was surprised.
They had left the Craftsman Guild for a day and had not been attacked. They might really have shaken that Honorable Sorcerer off.
They did not have any protection right now. They had no Sorcerer tribe genius as their hostage, nor did they possess a Dark Force Air Shield.
Had the Honorable Sorcerer been following them, he would have acted!
"Probably not. We are safe!" Su Mo nodded. He trusted Steward Chai and believed that he could have detained the Honorable Sorcerer from going after them.
"After running for such a long time, we are finally free!" Qin Busi looked bold and unrestrained. The endless stars would be the place for him to realize his full potential.
"By the way, Su Mo, you are going to the Shenwu Academy. How about me?" Qin Busi asked. He already knew where Su Mo was heading for.
The Shenwu Academy was a martial arts school. They only took in young geniuses. He was a few thousand years old--too old to join the school.
"Let's go to Star Guzhou first! After that, I will make arrangements for the people from the Firmament Palace!" Su Mo answered.
They two chatted as they traveled.
Star Beiling was huge. They traveled for five days before reaching Valley Tongyu.
It was a gigantic valley, with a radius of 500 kilometers.
A white jade platform had been erected in the Valley. This platform had a radius of 30 kilometers. Over one dozen Teleportation Formations were on the platform, scintillating incessantly.
There were also a large number of guards everywhere, ensuring its safety.
Martial artists strolled in and out of the valley. It was a lively sight.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Something whizzed through the air. Su Mo and Qin Busi landed at the mouth of the valley.
Soon, they strolled into the valley.
A 30-meter golden table was set up below the White Jade Platform. About a dozen experts sat at the table.
Everyone who wanted to travel via the Transporting Formation needed to pay a fee.
Su Mo and Qin Busi walked straight to the table.
"Sir, we are going to Star Changyu!" Su Mo said to a middle-aged expert.
Star Changyu was their first stop. After that, they would make more transfers via the Transporting Formations.
"One Lower Spiritual Crystal per person!" the expert said indifferently.
"So expensive?" Su Mo was stunned. The fee for one transfer was one Lower Spiritual Crystal!
A Lower Spiritual Crystal was worth one billion Supreme Spiritual Stones. It was too expensive!
"If you can't afford it, just leave!" Seeing Su Mo's expression, the expert bellowed nonchalantly.
Su Mo sighed inwardly. When he saw the others pay with Spiritual Crystals--some even paid as many as two--he had to do the same.
No matter how expensive it was, he must leave.
It seemed that intergalactic transfers were not for everyone.
Su Mo quickly took out two Lower Spiritual Crystals and handed them over to the expert.
"The third Teleportation Formation, to your right!"
After collecting the Spiritual Crystals, the experted pointed at the right of the White Jade Platform.
"Alright." Su Mo and Qin Busi nodded and mounted the platform.
The White Jade Platform was divided into a dozen areas, each carved with a gigantic formation. Every formation had numerous complicated inscriptions on it. The inscriptions were extremely complex.
In the center of each Formation were carved characters.
The characters "CHANG YU" were engraved in the center of the third formation to their right. In other words, it led to Star Changyu.
At this moment, the Formation had not started. Two dozen martial artists were standing or sitting cross-legged on it.
Su Mo and his friend entered the formation and waited quietly.
The formation, it seemed, needed enough travelers before it could start.
Su Mo did not wait too long. After less than an hour, more than 200 people had gathered within the formation.
Finally, the formation started.
The formation was originally silent. Dazzling white light started to swirl among its complicated lines.
Then, the white light colaesced into a 300-meter light beam. It soared up the sky and into the firmament.
Su Mo and the others were completely engulfed by the light beam. Their figures slowly disappeared on the White Jade Platform.
Su Mo felt as if he was in the middle of a raging storm. A hazy aureole glowed in his eye and a terrifying dizziness overcame him. He tried hard to keep his mind clear.
The journey was extremely long. Every second and minute seemed to stretch a hundred times.
He did not know how long had passed. It could be an hour, a day or even a month.
The misty aureole in his eyes disappeared. Su Mo recovered his sight. He turned his head to look and found himself in a grand, immense hall.
Several hundred Teleportation Formations were in the grand hall. Numerous martial artists were walking to and fro in it.
So this was the transit station for Intergalactic Teleportation Formations! Su Mo was quite surprised. In other words, they could save plenty of time.
After that, Su Mo and Qin Busi continued to travel using the Transporting Formations. They headed for the next star system.
Time flew. Su Mo traveled from one star to another.
Sometimes, after reaching one star, he would instantly be at a transit station after the transfer.
However, sometimes he could not. He needed to go on foot to the next Teleportation Formation.
Su Mo spent five months in this traveling mode. After transferring through more than 150 stars, he finally arrived at his destination--Star Guzhou.
After traveling through more than 150 star systems, he had spent nearly 160 Lower Spiritual Crystals.
Su Mo tried to save on the Spiritual Crystals and kept Qin Busi in a Spacial Device. Otherwise, he would have spent even more.
The Lower Spiritual Crystals he had with him was not sufficient. In desperation, he resorted to selling almost all his belongings to garner more.
He had sold almost all his booties, including treasures like weapons and cultivation skills.
He sold almost everything except for the Honorable-level gloves he had removed from Wu Xian, which were as delicate as a pair of cicada's wings.
Su Mo strolled out with broad strides from a magnificent ancient temple.
Looking at the fiery sun in the firmament, Su Mo gave a long sigh.
"Star Guzhou--a new beginning!"
