The plump cultivator asked curiously.
It took him several years to reach these seas, having started his journey from his own hometown on a boat.
If it was to an even more distant ocean, it might take decades or even centuries.
"Isn't the answer obvious? They use the teleportation array, of course."
"Poor loose cultivators like us who don't have too many spirit stones resort to traveling by ship."
"Even slightly richer cultivators would take the teleportation array and directly reach Xuanhuang Island."
"They don't need to waste time like us traveling by ship."
"It can't be helped, we, the poor, have no choice but to trade our time for spirit stones."
The loose cultivators spoke helplessly.
"Isn't that right? It's said that there is an Ancient Teleportation Array on Xuanhuang Island. It can cover long distances and even encompass the entire Canglan Sea. You can reach anywhere in the Canglan Sea using this Ancient Teleportation Array."
"Most of the fourth and third stage islands in this sea area can be teleported into Xuanhuang Island. Even the middle teleportation array in Xuanhuang Island can be used to teleport to the furthest corners of the sea."
"What is even more enviable is that if you become a disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect, the cost for each teleportation is only a tenth of ours. It can be said that this benefit is only for the disciples of the Xuanhuang Sect."
A loose cultivator was filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
However, it can't be helped. After all, the Ancient Teleportation Array is under the control of Xuanhuang Sect. It's only natural that their disciples receive some benefits.
In fact, over the past ten years, Zhou Sui has been continuously expanding the teleportation arrays in Xuanhuang Island.
His clone had built section by section of the teleportation arrays, and then allowed other Array Masters to set them up on the major islands.
Though it has not yet returned to the glory of the Ku Rong Sect's peak period, at least all the major islands in the sea area can be directly teleported to Xuanhuang Island.
And the prices had dropped significantly too.
This greatly facilitated communication between cultivators on all major islands.
Even distances of billions of miles, through the teleportation array, could be breached instantly, just as if everything was only a stone's throw away.
It can be said that the teleportation array is the high-speed rail of the cultivation world.
Once such an infrastructure is in place, the impetus it provides to this sea area is quite significant.
Over the past decade, the entire sea area has begun to thrive.
An endless amount of cultivation resources was also transported to Xuanhuang Island.
Just at this moment, a terrifying demonic aerm from the distant sea rushed over, covering the sky and the earth.
A gigantic turtle demon appeared suddenly. The turtle was hundreds of feet long. Its shell was covered in densely packed patterns. Its eyes were full of cold ruthlessness, striking fear into the hearts of anyone who saw it.
"Damn, it's the fourth stage Stone Turtle Demon."
A Foundation-building cultivator aboard the ship immediately went pale as if death was upon him. He recognized this turtle demon as the infamous Stone Turtle Demon.
This Stone Turtle Demon had been running wild in this sea area recently, specializing in attacking human ships.
Many human cultivators died by its hands.
It can be said that its existence was a nightmare to people.
However, he never expected that his journey would be so tragic, as he would encounter a fourth stage Stone Turtle Demon.
This is utterly catastrophic.
"We are doomed. Totally doomed."
Xie Hua'an's face was ghostly white.
He was merely a small Qi practitioner. How could he withstand a fourth stage Stone Turtle Demon?
Considering the demon's ferocity, it might swallow all the humans on this ship in one gulp.
Even fleeing was utterly pointless.
A fourth-stage demonic cultivator could cover a thousand miles in an instant.
How could anyone escape?!
However, before he could come up with a plan, three fourth-stage spirit beasts appeared in the sky.
They were the Four-winged Tiger, the Golden Flame Eagle, and the Ice and Fire Leopard.
They instantly locked onto the Stone Turtle Demon's aura.
"You scum from the Xuanhuang Sect?!"
"You've bowed down to humans. You lot are the disgrace of all demonic beasts!"
The fourth-stage Stone Turtle Demon was both shocked and enraged.
It had planned to satisfy its belly with these weak humans for snacks.
But who would expect to run into spirit beasts from Xuanhuang Sect?
In the eyes of these demonic beasts, these spirit beasts are traitors to their kind and must be killed on sight.
Now, it was filled with endless fear.
It was outnumbered by the four-stage spirit beasts and was in great danger.
"It's as our master predicted, it's gone insane."
"Its mind is filled with nothing but violence."
"But rest assured, we will soon cleanse you of your demonic aura and transform you into a spirit beast."
The Four-winged Tiger had a kindly smile on its face, not displaying any killing aura. Instead, it appeared as compassionate as a monk, a face full of sympathy for others.
Seeing this, the fourth-stage Stone Turtle Demon was chilled to the bone.
In its eyes, these spirit beasts were clearly brainwashed by the Sect Master of Xuanhuang Sect using some special means.
Such a conversion even changed their minds.
This was more tragic than becoming a slave.
It was born a demonic beast. How could it become a slave to humans?!
"Clear my ass of the demonic aura."
"I'm a demonic beast, not some spirit beast."
