Chapter 442: Chapter 441: Teleportation Divine Tool?
With a "thump", Huang Bingbing remained standing in her original spot, while Tang San was forced to take three steps back, nearly colliding with the door.
Huang Bingbing, however, was taken aback. To her surprise, when the Asura caught her palm strike, a portion of the coldness from her Ice Spirit Change was devoured, and the white incandescent flame on Tang San\'s body clearly intensified at the final collision, actually blocking her attack.
You must know that although Huang Bingbing had not yet reached the Great Spirit King Level, she was still at the peak of the Spirit King realm. After all, she was the leader of a clan.
At the same time, she could also feel that Tang San was merely a Ninth Stage being, and though his Spiritual Power was at the peak of the Ninth Stage, he was not of God Rank! It was somewhat incredulous that he could fend off her attacks twice in a row. And his technique, much of her attack had seemingly vanished without a trace, as if swallowed by the sea. Although she did not use full strength, Huang Bingbing\'s realm was clear, and this scene was truly somewhat incomprehensible.
"Patriarch, please, don\'t be impulsive. Impulsiveness is pointless. Are you planning to storm the Ancestral Court now? I dare say that you won\'t even see an Emperor before you\'ll probably get caught," Tang San advised.
"I\'m going to complain to the Heavenly Spirit Emperor of the Rihchen Empire!" Huang Bingbing said angrily despite the shock.
Tang San silently shook his head and said, "It\'s useless. The formation of the Ancestral Court aligns with the interests of all Great Demon Emperors. The interests of the Ice Maiden Clan will not be considered. Complaining won\'t change the current situation. Once Luck becomes dispersed, the inheritance of the Great Demon Emperors will also become problematic."
"So you want my clan to perish?" Huang Bingbing\'s voice became sharp.
Tang San gave a bitter smile and responded, "Isn\'t that why I\'m here to solve your problem? So please don\'t be impulsive. Can we analyze the situation calmly first?" While speaking, he gestured towards the sofa.
Despite her anger, causing her chest to heave, Huang Bingbing eventually calmed down, snorted angrily, and turned to head back to the sofa.
Only then did Tang San breathe a sigh of relief. Only now had the coldness inside of him been completely dispelled. Although the Lion Tiger Golden Gang from his Lion Tiger Change devoured the chill of the Ice Spirit Change, the gap in their states was immense. Furthermore, Tang San could feel that after entering the God-level realm, the bloodline level of the Ice Spirit Change was definitely not level 3 anymore—it was at least level 2. The extreme cold was still making him shiver a bit.
Having returned to his seat, Tang San looked at Huang Bingbing and asked, "Patriarch, how many clansmen does your nobility have left now?"
Huang Bingbing coldly replied, "Less than a thousand."
Tang San inhaled sharply. A race with fewer than a thousand individuals was in grave danger. This was different from the Lion Tiger Tribe. The Lion Tiger Tribe\'s inheritance could be passed on by the birth of offspring from both the Lion Tribe and the Tiger Clan, albeit with a low probability. But for the Ice Maiden Clan to produce offspring, it took a hundred years! The current situation was clearly on the brink of extinction. No wonder the Ice Sealed Throne was to be auctioned. They must be truly desperate to resort to this!
"That\'s very dangerous," Tang San said as he took a deep breath. "Could your clan leave the far northern lands, come near the Ancestral Court, or survive within the main city?"
Huang Bingbing shook her head, saying, "We can\'t. Without the extreme cold environment, our life force will be overdrawn. Our Cultivation base will be hard to improve. We certainly need the Origin Energy, but the extremely cold environment is also necessary for us. In a sense, our bodies are like ice, which will melt away from the cold environment. Therefore, we cannot leave; leaving could likely accelerate our demise."
Tang San frowned deeply, beginning to think about how he might solve the problem faced by the Ice Maiden Clan.
He had actually thought of a solution to the transmission of the Ice Maiden Clan\'s heritage, although Huang Bingbing might not agree to it. However, at the tipping point between life and death, she might not have a choice but to agree. But the root of their survival was the most pressing concern. Without enough spirituality of heaven and earth, nothing else mattered! Even if they could produce offspring, if the quality of their cultivation base continued to decline, they would still face extinction.
Huang Bingbing watched him intently but did not disturb his thoughts. After Tang San had blocked her two attacks, her trust in him had, imperceptibly, grown stronger. Although Huang Bingbing was inherently simple-minded, she could feel that the Lion Tiger Golden Gang Tang San had just used was a First-level Bloodline, and what\'s more, it seemed to be one that she had never heard of before. And what was that about time slowing down? This had all surpassed the range of her understanding. She judged this human to be mysterious and powerful.
Finally, Tang San lifted his head and asked, "Patriarch, can the spirituality of heaven and earth you need for cultivation be replaced with Life Force?"
Huang Bingbing nodded and said, "Of course it can. In fact, what we need most is life force. In the far northern lands, the ice element is extremely abundant, but to maintain life and produce descendants, our Ice Maiden Clan requires both the life force and the ice element to combine. In that frigid land, what\'s most scarce is life force because hardly any living beings can grow there."
"Snap!" Tang San suddenly clapped his hands together, "Then I have a plan. But, the cost is great and it\'s not something that can be resolved immediately."
"Tell me, what is the plan?" Huang Bingbing\'s eyes sparkled.
Tang San said, "You lack Life Aura. While you cannot leave the far northern lands for long, a short period should be possible, right? If we could set up a Teleportation Array within the Ice Maiden Clan, at regular intervals we could teleport your clansmen to a place rich in life force to absorb and replenish themselves, and then teleport back. That could solve the problem of the missing aura, couldn\'t it?"
"A Teleportation Array? What kind of Teleportation Array?" Huang Bingbing looked at him blankly. This was beyond her realm of knowledge.
Tang San explained, "It means setting up a Teleportation Array at your location that could directly send your clansmen to the Ancestral Court to absorb life force—long-distance teleportation."
"How is that possible! Such a long distance? Teleporting? Impossible." Huang Bingbing\'s face showed utter disbelief.
Tang San nodded and said, "Currently, it is indeed impossible, but that doesn\'t mean it\'s impossible in the future."
"What proof do you have of this?" Huang Bingbing\'s voice contained a hint of emotion, sounding somewhat irritated.
Tang San\'s hand flashed with light, and an Array Plate appeared in his palm, which he then handed over to Huang Bingbing.
"Within two hundred meters, you can teleport at will. Where the mind goes, the body follows."
Huang Bingbing accepted the Teleportation Array Disk with a look of surprise on her face. Once her divine consciousness infused it, in the next instant, she had teleported out of sight to about ten meters away.
Her eyes immediately brightened, but they quickly dimmed again, "But what\'s the use? Short-distance teleporting and traversing thousands of miles are not the same, are they?"
Tang San replied, "Then we expand the Formation. Actually, I have a plan that simply requires some time. This Array Disk was forged by an Array Master. He has always had a goal to create a divine tool for teleportation, one that could teleport him to any corner of the Continent at any time. If he succeeds, and we borrow it, we can solve the problem I just spoke of."
