This is a Teleportation Array.
The Round Stone at the bottom has been polished into a two-foot-thick disc, with a rectangular house made of crystal standing in the center of the disc. The house has no door, allowing direct access to the interior of the Teleportation Array.
The walls of the house are made from solid spirit stones, engraved with various rune patterns that contain different formations. There is also a slot embedded with spirit stones on the inner wall, but this slot is currently empty.
Xu Feng, having studied Formation Techniques, knows that the slot inside is used to activate the teleportation, while the external slot is for receiving teleportations. The presence of spirit stones in the external slot indicates that this Teleportation Array can receive cultivators teleported from elsewhere. If he places spirit stones in the internal slot, he can use this Teleportation Array to teleport himself out.
As for where he would be teleported to, Xu Feng cannot know.
This Teleportation Array has no protective formations set up; anyone or any beast can freely enter and exit. However, this Teleportation Array remains intact, showing no signs of damage, indicating that the Red-Maned Lion is specifically guarding it.
The Red-Maned Lion is a top-tier existence among Sixth-Level Monsters. Controlling the Red-Maned Lion ensures the safety of this Teleportation Array. Mu Yingshan, despite being severely injured, has come here, likely possessing secret methods to control the Red-Maned Lion. If he uses the Teleportation Array to return to Nine Dragon Pool, Xu Feng cannot be certain if he will actually appear at Nine Dragon Pool.
After being defeated by the leaders of Six Sects, Mu Yingshan once declared that he would bloodily sweep through Liuxiang Kingdom ten years later. Now nine years have passed; if Mu Yingshan's words were true, then within a year at most, Nine Dragon Pool will send people to sweep through Liuxiang Kingdom, confronting all cultivators in Liuxiang Kingdom with their full strength. What immense power that would require!
Fortunately, Mu Yingshan was intercepted by Xu Feng midway. However, it remains uncertain whether Mu Yingshan has used any secret methods to inform Nine Dragon Pool about the specific situation in Liuxiang Kingdom beforehand. It is unclear what status Mu Yingshan holds in Nine Dragon Pool; if he can challenge all six leaders alone, then if more come, Liuxiang Kingdom might truly face disaster.
However, the most undesirable scenario has occurred: in the nearby forest of the Teleportation Array, numerous broken tree branches have been discovered. Judging by their breakage, these were formed about a month ago and were clearly broken by human feet, with at least thirty people involved.
This indicates that at least thirty "foreigners" have entered Liuxiang Kingdom. If they are from Zheguo or Nine Dragon Pool, then Liuxiang Kingdom may indeed face annihilation.
Xu Feng removed the High-Quality Spirit Stone from outside the Teleportation Array, causing its glow to dim. For now, this is all he can do—removing the High-Quality Spirit Stone that keeps it operational prevents the Teleportation Array from receiving new teleporting cultivators.
Xu Feng did not smash the Teleportation Array; currently, only he knows about it in Liuxiang Kingdom. Ultimately, Xu Feng plans to leave Liuxiang Kingdom, and this Teleportation Array could serve as a means of departure in the future.
"A Qi, I have temporarily suspended this Teleportation Array; people from Zheguo cannot enter for now. You should guard here for a while. If you notice anyone trying to repair this Teleportation Array, take them down. Since they have entered, let them come and go without return." Xu Feng estimates that as long as those thirty or so individuals are not a large group of Yuan Ying old monsters, Liuxiang Kingdom should be able to handle it.
A Qi understands Xu Feng's intention and turns to call out into the air. Soon after, the fleeing Red-Maned Lion returns with large strides, behaving like a sick cat in front of A Qi.
A Qi chirps at the Red-Maned Lion, which nods repeatedly. Then, the Red-Maned Lion lets out its "Lion Roar," a sound that echoes far and wide for hundreds of miles.
Before long, various sounds of gathering beasts echoed all around.
Xu Feng stepped out of the forest and saw more than a dozen Sixth-Level Monsters gathered in the clearing of Mountain Valley, some flying, some running on the ground, and others burrowing underground. Among them were a few that Xu Feng had previously hunted down; upon seeing him, they turned to flee but were stopped by the Red-Maned Lion, trembling in fear.
The Red-Maned Lion was the ruler of the Sixth-Level Monster area. Under its authority, no one dared to disobey. Now, having been casually taken as a subordinate by A Qi, it became Xu Feng's overseer.
The Red-Maned Lion conveyed A Qi's work directives to the group of Sixth-Level Monsters. The intelligent beasts nodded in understanding.
With a satisfied stomp of its foot, the Red-Maned Lion sent the other beasts away. Having completed its task, it turned to A Qi with a flattering look.
Just as A Qi was about to scold it, Xu Feng gently pulled A Qi and handed it a hundred or so Super Spirit Pills. A Qi understood the hint, rolled up its wings, and accepted them. Then it pretended to reprimand the Red-Maned Lion again before finally giving it over a hundred Yuan Ling Dan.
When hiring someone to do a job, wages must be paid; the same goes for hiring monsters.
Upon seeing Xu Feng take out the pills, the Red-Maned Lion was drooling at the sight of their spiritual energy. Now that A Qi handed all the pills over to it, it was overjoyed and didn't know how to express its happiness. It never expected that after just becoming a subordinate, it would receive so many pills—these pills contained more spiritual energy than it could gain from ten years of hard training.
The Red-Maned Lion didn't have a storage bag, so it cradled them in one massive paw with an expression of gratitude.
A Qi gave a few more instructions before taking off with Xu Feng.
"The Red-Maned Lion is forced by humans to guard this Teleportation Array. A month ago, thirty-five powerful human cultivators came here; there were a few that even it couldn't handle," A Qi explained while flying.
"If even the Red-Maned Lion can't handle them, they must be experts above Yuan Ying," Xu Feng thought in shock. Fortunately, there were only a few; otherwise, they would be in trouble.
A Qi continued, "I've instructed the Red-Maned Lion to keep guarding the Teleportation Array. If anyone approaches, it should inform me immediately." From Cliff to Teleportation Array was only three hundred miles; at A Qi's speed, it could arrive in less than ten minutes.
Seeing that A Qi had made proper arrangements, Xu Feng felt greatly relieved.
Back in his cave, Xu Feng immediately immersed himself in cultivation.
The people from the Nine Dragon Pool are likely already here. Originally, it was a ten-year agreement, but they have arrived early, possibly related to the death of Mu Yingshan. It's uncertain what actions they will take.
The Liuxiang Kingdom and the Six Major Sects have a legacy spanning thousands of years; it is not so easy to extinguish them. Before this great calamity arrives, one must quickly enhance their own strength, or they may end up suffering the consequences.
There is only one year left, and it is impossible to elevate one's realm in such a short time. Xu Feng has been at the Golden Core Stage for half a year now and knows that advancing further is not something that can be achieved overnight. Many cultivators form their Golden Cores but die in the Early Stage of Golden Core without making further progress.
Moreover, the combat power at the Golden Core Stage is vastly different from that at the Foundation Establishment Stage. The outcome of battles among cultivators is no longer determined solely by strength; external factors often become the key to victory.
Xu Feng took out the Five Element Needle Technique left behind by Mu Yingshan.
The Five Element Needle Technique is a magical artifact that can only be used by those at the Golden Core Stage or above. Xu Feng has just advanced and has not yet had the chance to refine it.
"Five Element Needle Technique, Earth’s five elements, needles swallowed. The five elements converge, Golden Needles are invincible..." Xu Feng carefully flipped through the Five Element Needle Technique, growing more delighted.
It turns out that this Five Element Needle Technique is a high-grade composite magical artifact with immense power. It can control five types of spiritual energy to use the Golden Needles separately, unleashing all five elements against enemies, making it nearly unstoppable. Who could withstand attacks from five different attribute cultivation methods simultaneously?
Mu Yingshan practiced the Golden Attribute Cultivation Method, so he used the excellent set of Five Element Needle Technique as a single weapon. Even so, he managed to fight evenly with the leader of the Six Major Sects due to the power of the Golden Needles but ultimately lost due to insufficient spiritual energy.
If Xu Feng were to use this set of Golden Needles, its power would increase at least threefold because Xu Feng practices Five Elements Cultivation, which perfectly complements the capabilities of the Golden Needles.
The combat techniques of the Five Element Needle Technique are few; there are only two moves: Flower Rain and Five Elements Universe. There aren’t many complex or profound aspects in terms of technique. With Xu Feng's understanding of combat techniques, he quickly grasped these two moves.
After all, the Five Element Needle Technique is a finished magical artifact that anyone can use. If a magical artifact's usage is overly complicated and difficult to understand, then no matter how good its quality is, it becomes useless; in critical moments, if your artifact hasn't been deployed yet while your opponent attacks, you are at a disadvantage.
Magical artifacts differ from spiritual tools; any cultivator can easily use spiritual tools, while magical artifacts have a master recognition function. They must be refined with one's blood essence to establish a connection with them before they can ultimately become one's weapon and be summoned at will.
The attack and defense capabilities of magical artifacts can exceed one's own by many times; thus, an exceptionally powerful magical artifact allows cultivators to challenge opponents beyond their level. The set of Five Element Needle Technique in Xu Feng's hands is a Superior Magical Artifact. Like the Wings of the Strange Dragon, due to its elemental nature, no one could fully utilize its functions, causing it to circulate in the market as an Inferior Magical Artifact. After Mu Yingshan acquired it, he only activated it with Jinxi energy, inadvertently benefiting Xu Feng in the end.
The classification of magical artifacts differs from that of spiritual tools; besides high-grade artifacts, there are also Supreme Treasures, although they rarely appear.
Xu Feng began the ritual of refining the Five Element Needle Technique according to its incantation.
Mu Yingshan was already dead, and his spiritual consciousness left in the Five Element Needle Technique also vanished. Otherwise, with Xu Feng's current strength, even if he obtained the Five Element Needle Technique, he would not be able to refine it. This is the advantage of a magical treasure recognizing its master; as long as you are alive, the treasure belongs to you. However, if a higher-level cultivator forcibly erases your spiritual consciousness, you can only accept your fate.
A drop of blood burst from his fingertip and fell onto the Five Element Needle Technique, which shimmered briefly before disappearing.
Mastery successful!
Xu Feng's mind stirred, and the Five Element Needle Technique flew into his body, gathering at the location of his Dantian, receiving nourishment from his Golden Core. Upon encountering Xu Feng's Golden Core, the Five Element Needle Technique joyfully danced around it like five birds released from their cage.
Xu Feng's Golden Core was vastly different from that of an ordinary person. While most cultivators focus on one element, resulting in Golden Cores that are typically white, blue, red, yellow, or black, Xu Feng practiced Five Elements Cultivation, and his Golden Core contained all five colors. This perfectly matched the Five Element Needle Technique, which is why it thrived in its new environment.
After Mu Yingshan's reckless use of the Five Element Needle Technique, it had not been repaired in time and suffered severe damage. Its spiritual energy had greatly diminished. Now that Xu Feng possessed this Five-Element Golden Core, the previous injuries quickly healed, and the five elements were positioned correctly to draw upon each other’s strengths.
Xu Feng focused on refining for a full month until the Five Element Needle Technique completely integrated into his body, connecting with his flesh and blood and resonating with his mind. The spiritual power of the Five Element Needle Technique also became saturated and complete, far surpassing its previous state.
