Chapter 1973 Entering the sea
Zhu Jiayi felt relieved, but Lord Qu Ling’s question was not easy to answer.
He could only tell the truth, "I'm not too sure. A one-way voyage by a formal fleet would take about two months."
"But if we move secretly, maybe... half a year?"
"That would take a year to go back and forth..." Qu Jianlei frowned, "It's really a bit difficult."
But the next moment, he made up his mind, "I'd better go there as soon as possible. In a year, Dongsheng won't be in such a bad state."
However, even though he had made the decision, he still wanted to take a look at how the teleportation array in the world of immortal cultivation was built.
Zhu Jiayi was also very efficient in his work. On the third day, two Jindan disciples from the Zhu family came with six foundation-building disciples.
One of the golden elixirs was the Zhu family's formation master in disguise.
Qu Jianlei allocated an area for the Zhu family. It was not very big, only about four square kilometers.
However, if we ignore the living environment, this place is already quite large and can easily accommodate tens of thousands of people.
By the time the Zhu family was forced to come over, there might not even be 10,000 people left, and by then they probably wouldn't have cared about the living conditions.
When the two Jindan came, they also brought two Yuanying-level martial arts techniques, which served as a stepping stone for renting the land.
As for future rent, that is inevitable, but this is something that the people below will discuss in detail.
When Zhu Jia Jindan was building a house, even the fourth boss, Youyou, Zi Jiuxian and others came to help.
In two days, the building had reached a certain size, and all that was left was some slow work.
As the room for teleportation, the Zhu family chose an underground cave, which was about 10,000 square meters in size and more than 20 meters high.
However, the teleportation array does not occupy a large area, less than two hundred square meters, and including supporting facilities, the area does not exceed five hundred square meters.
When the Jindan was building the teleportation array, except for a foundation-building disciple from the Zhu family who helped, everyone else stayed away.
Even within the Zhu family, not everyone can master this craft.
However, Qu Jianlei stayed, and the Jindan of the Zhu family explained the formation to him while setting it up.
Even in a sect, this kind of treatment is not something that ordinary disciples can enjoy, except for the step-by-step instruction.
The younger generation of the Zhu family who were listening in on the lecture, besides being envious, also took notes silently and attentively, and did not dare to use the photo stone to record it.
It took five days to build the teleportation array, and Qu Jianlei also thoroughly understood the principles behind it.
This teleportation array is somewhat different from the teleportation array he obtained in the empire.
Generally speaking, the teleportation array here is relatively crude, but its advantages are simple construction, high stability, and a good riding experience.
The disadvantage is that this formation is relatively resource-intensive, has very high requirements for materials, and the transmission mechanism is relatively dependent on the materials themselves.
The most critical shortcoming is that the transmission distance is not far enough. It is said that the upper limit is only 700,000 to 800,000 kilometers, definitely less than one million.
However, the Dongsheng Continent only covers a few billion square kilometers in total, and the maximum point-to-point distance is less than 300,000 kilometers.
Even if we include some islands that were previously occupied, the farthest one is less than 500,000, and these islands have now been abandoned.
Such a transmission distance is sufficient for use in Dongsheng, and the relevant upper limit is said to have been tested in Zhongzhou.
Zhu Jia Jindan said that he had also heard that there were teleportation arrays with extremely long teleportation distances, and there was more than one type.
However, even in Zhongzhou, almost no one has mastered the relevant principles of the formation, and its spread should be controlled.
In Zhongzhou, there are formation masters who can build a longer teleportation formation, with an effective distance of about two to three million kilometers.
But it is said that the materials used are better, and the relevant principles are not much different.
Zhu Jia Jindan explained the situation very carefully, but the problem was that although his formation skills were very high, he did not have enough exposure to information.
Qu Jianlei also expressed his understanding, and finally, in order to express his gratitude to the other party, he sent out two Nascent Soul-level wooden shields.
It’s a bit inappropriate to call it tuition fees, so let’s just call it a favor.
With the other party's systematic explanation, his understanding of the principles of the teleportation array was greatly improved.
Taoist Jiao and Yi He are both good at formations, but everyone has their own specialties, and the one from the Zhu family is particularly good at teleportation.
The key is that the formation knowledge mastered by the three people is not entirely the same. There are some differences among them that can inspire more inspiration.
Although this Jindan's cultivation level is low, he has a very solid grasp of basic knowledge and his narration is very comprehensive.
All in all, Qu Jianlei gained a lot and felt that he could further improve the teleportation array - at least he could try to improve the riding experience.
However, this requires more exploration, so it is just right to leave it to Xiaohu to calculate.
In the next two days, Qu Jianlei pondered the formation plate again. When he had doubts, he went to ask the Zhu family's formation master.
This Jindan taught very attentively and with a very enthusiastic attitude.
The key point is that the Second Ancestor repeatedly emphasized that having good relations with Lord Qu Ling is not only beneficial to the entire clan, but also a rare opportunity.
With this kind of friendship, if you encounter any problems in the future, you will at least have the nerve to speak up, right?
Another day passed, and Qu Jianlei, Qing Hu and Zhu Jiayi disappeared quietly.
Also disappearing at the same time were Claire, Tianyin, and the siblings Kolos.
Two days later, they arrived at a small town on the west coast of Dongsheng Continent.
Most of the residents here make a living by fishing, and there are also practitioners who go into the sea to hunt sea beasts.
If there is a suitable warship, it can move forward tens of thousands of kilometers and hunt sea beasts that have reached the foundation-building or even golden elixir level.
However, it is not suitable to go any further. After the tiger invasion, Dongsheng’s Yuanying number has been greatly reduced, and it is a bit difficult for them to occupy the island.
The key is that Zhongzhou has also set up a large isolation formation, and it is easy to get lost if you go deep into the ocean.
After the Dongsheng cultivators gave up these spaces, the sea beasts naturally moved towards the coastline, and the risk of fishing also increased.
Fortunately, the higher-level sea beasts are aware of the dangers of the human world and dare not get too close.
Generally speaking, when a warship travels tens of thousands of kilometers forward, it is unlikely to encounter a Jindan-level sea beast, and it is almost impossible to encounter a Yuanying-level beast.
It has been more than four hundred years since the tiger people invaded, and there have only been two cases of Yuanying sea beasts injuring people.
Later, the two sea beasts were hunted down by the Yuanying of Dongsheng and Zhongzhou, killing one and seriously injuring the other.
Sea beasts at the Nascent Soul stage already have considerable intelligence, and some can even transform.
The ocean is so big, you can survive anywhere, so why would you want to die near the coastline?
On the outskirts of the town, Qu Jianlei and his group met Duan Bowen.
Immortal Bowen still brought his group of subordinates with him. According to Zhu Jiayi, most of them were his juniors.
These people were no longer as high and mighty as they were last time, but were instead dressed up as a group of hunter cultivators who were about to go out to sea.
From this we can see that Duan Bowen is quite good at educating and managing his clansmen.
Bowen Zhenxian was also dressed in a short outfit made of waterproof animal skins, looking like someone who had been out to sea for a long time.
He had suppressed his cultivation to the Foundation Establishment stage. Among the entire team of more than 20 people, there was only one Golden Core stage.
However, such sea hunting teams are not to be provoked casually.
After the two sides met, Duan Bowen said that he wanted to have a farewell drink with Zhu Jiayi and then set off after nightfall.
So everyone set up tents and took a final rest before leaving.
When it was dark, Zhu Jiayi left and Duan Bowen released a simple warship.
The warship was nearly twenty meters long and narrow. After everyone entered, they felt that the space was small and cramped.
It was then that the Immortal Bowen explained to Qu Jianlei that the larger the warship, the more dangerous it was, so he had to inconvenience everyone.
The defensive capabilities of this warship are quite good, and the key is that there is a concealment formation engraved on its shell.
This formation can avoid detection by cultivators and is even more effective against sea beasts.
However, when it comes to crossing the formation, the most important thing is that he has mastered the relevant formation diagrams and sea charts!
The isolation formation does have its flaws, but the most important thing is that Duan Bowen is familiar with the sea conditions!
These two factors, plus the warship's concealment capabilities, are what allowed him to travel between the two states without restraint.
In the words of Bo Wen Zhenxian, he can talk about the flaws of the formation, but he can't be too detailed.
As for the sea chart, there is no way he could give it to him because it is the foundation of his livelihood.
This kind of specially treated warship is not easy to obtain.
In short, Duan Bowen explained it very clearly, but he was not worried that the other party would cut him off.
The three elements are indispensable, and in addition to the elements, there should even be some obstacles in the details.
He made it very clear, and Qu Jianlei also made it clear that he had no intention of interfering in the other party's privacy.
The cabin of the warship was really small. Even without the six people from Hongyeling, there was not enough space.
Bowen Zhenxian apologized for this, and he originally didn't intend to take so many people away.
In the past, when traveling to Zhongzhou, not all of his people needed to board the ship. It was okay for some of them to stay in Dongsheng and they could still conduct business.
But this time we must bring all the people back. The situation in Dongsheng is becoming more and more tense, and we are not sure when we can come back next time.
Fortunately, Duan Bowen knew very well that the people of Hongyeling should not be provoked, so he provided them with more space as much as possible.
There are at least three independent cabins for the six of them, and there is also a certain amount of space for activities, which feels a bit like a first-class cabin.
The conditions of Duan Bowen and his group were much worse. There was only him and a Jindan, and they also occupied an independent cabin.
For others, let alone economy class, they had folding bunk beds.
Claire, Tianyin and the others were quite interested at first. They walked back and forth in the flying boat, looking around.
But the people on Duan Bowen's side all looked hopeless and had entered a state of numbness ahead of time.
It is said that such a voyage will take at least three months, and everyone will stay in this closed space the entire time.
A large fleet that travels once every thirty years can travel in a straight line, but a small warship does not have this condition.
Not only do they have to dodge back and forth, but they also cannot go too fast, otherwise they may encounter various accidents.
Someone else reminded Claire that it was okay to move around now, but it would be best to remain quiet after entering the deep sea.
