463 The Scared Black Dog
On the platform, the place where the space teleportation portal was directed was a dark constellation. The location was a large open space on the east side of North Mountain City.
Now, with the arrival of the people from the other galaxies, a complicated array formation had already been set up around the portal. Clouds and fog surrounded them, and palaces appeared one after another. It was very grand.
Ordinary creatures could only look up at such a tall building. It was right in front of them, but it looked far away. From time to time, they could see the figures of cranes carrying people through the clouds.
Chen Yiming and the black dog followed the crowd to the vicinity.
“What an eye-opener. Are those palaces in the clouds the residences of the so-called immortals? The style of the array formation is also different from that in the abandoned world.”
“Unfortunately, we’re not allowed to go in and take a look. You have to know that different cultivation paths complement each other. Perhaps an opportunity to gain enlightenment is right in front of us.”
Some people were filled with emotions. They were not from North Mountain City, but had come over from other large cities for quite a while. However they had not been given a chance to interact with the immortals.
“I heard that a female immortal fought with the successor of the Thousand Tribulations Sect in a no man’s land last night. It’s said that a phoenix cry sounded on the battlefield, and divine flames burned the air.”
“Gasp! Could it be a female immortal with phoenix blood flowing in her body? That’s really impressive. With the Nirvana divine power, not only will she not be afraid of death, but she will also become stronger the more she fights.”
Near the platform, the crowd became even denser. Most of the topics they were discussing were related to the people who came from the other galaxies, especially the representatives from the younger generation.
In addition, many strange-looking species were gathered here. Chen Yiming didn’t even know most of them.
After hearing the news about the female immortal with the phoenix blood, he felt that he had come at the right time. Not only did he have a chance to use the space teleportation portal, but he also had a chance to verify the strength of his divine power.
Of course, he was not looking for ordinary immortals to test his strength. They were probably only at the same level as ordinary geniuses and were too weak. He had to look for the guardians behind them or the people guarding the space teleportation portal.
At this thought, Chen Yiming sent a voice transmission, “Black Dog, the array formation set up around the platform doesn’t seem to be weak. How did you manage to sneak in and out?”
No matter what method the black dog used, it was not that simple. If it was him, a conflict would probably break out immediately, followed by a fight.
“Sir, are you going to enter the platform?”
The black dog was a little confused. It had thought that Chen Yiming’s goal was those immortals, just like most of the people who had come to North Mountain City.
From the looks of it, he had another motive.
Chen Yiming nodded and continued, “Black Dog, I won’t make things difficult for you. How about this? After you bring me to the platform, we can part ways.”
As soon as he said this, the black dog’s body trembled. This was simply making things difficult for it.
There was already a problem with its identity. If it brought a stranger in and was discovered, it would be cut into pieces and made into a pot of dog stew.
This was really not a joke. There was more than one immortal at the center of the platform, and they corresponded to the star evolution realm. Furthermore, the array formation had already been set up, and it was not the same as when they had just arrived.
Seeing this, Chen Yiming felt that there was a trick to it.
What about the Fairy Qing Yue? There was a high chance that it had deliberately fabricated a story to trick him. If he had walked into the teahouse and tried to make friends with those people, the black dog would definitely have found an opportunity to sneak away.
After all, this was North Mountain City. At this time, the black dog had expected that he wouldn’t dare to cause any trouble. However, it didn’t expect Chen Yiming’s goal to be different from what it had expected.
The black dog fell silent, feeling conflicted.
“To accept or reject?”
“Does this person want to die? Or does he have other motives?”
“With the array formation in the platform and the deterrence of the many immortals, will there be a chance to escape?”
Its judgment of Chen Yiming was that he was a jade star realm god who had a divine world in the middle three grades. He also seemed to have an ordinary background or was an independent cultivator. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken such a huge risk to sneak into the platform.
After all, the geniuses from the overlord factions would not do such a thing.
In a flash, the black dog inferred more information about Chen Yiming before deciding whether to agree.
Time passed by.
Chen Yiming knew that the black dog was thinking about how to escape, but he wasn’t in a hurry. He could capture the black dog again in the blink of an eye, so it had no choice but to agree.
Of course, he could not force the black dog to do so. If it acted out of desperation, would he really turn it into a pot of dog stew? At this stage, it was more important to think of a way to obtain the space teleportation portal.
Soon, the black dog decided to risk its life to bring the stranger into the platform.
It naturally had something to rely on. After all, if it could sneak in and out, how could it not have some special ability? It also believed that it would definitely be able to escape with the help of external forces.
…
More than half an hour later, in the gap between the array formations on the platform, the black dog led Chen Yiming forward as they observed their surroundings. There were black and white lines everywhere, and if they touched them, their position would be exposed.
The black dog’s special ability was also revealed to Chen Yiming. It was a bloodline talent that could temporarily make the array formation useless.
“What kind of mutant plant is this?” Chen Yiming suddenly exclaimed. Through the array formation, he saw a huge tree that reached into the sky in a garden.
Its entire body was the color of ice, and snow was constantly falling from its surroundings. Blue light spots danced around the branches and leaves.
In addition, the tree’s crown was like a huge umbrella that could hold up the sky, and was only faintly discernible among the clouds. The bark was crystal clear, and looked like a mirror.
Such a huge mutant plant could not be seen outside the array formation on the platform. It was difficult for the outside world to imagine that there was such a garden inside.
“That’s an immortal plant, the Ice Spirit Tree. Don’t get distracted. If not for the array formation, this immortal plant would have been alerted to our presence long ago.”
The black dog barked a few times as a reminder.
It felt bitter. It hadn’t expected that it wouldn’t be able to escape from Chen Yiming even after risking its life to enter the interior of the platform. The reason was that it had to leave the array formation safely.
However, the black dog didn’t dare to leave the gaps between the array formations. Once it left, it would definitely be discovered. At that time, it was another matter if Chen Yiming could escape or not, but it definitely would not be able to do so.
It could be said that the black dog was even more nervous than Chen Yiming. Therefore, it could only move through the gaps between the array formations and search for an exit where it wouldn’t be discovered.
At that time, as long as Chen Yiming left, the black dog would immediately turn around and return to the gaps in the array formation. This way, it would definitely be able to escape safely.
On the other hand, what Chen Yiming was really observing was the area where the space teleportation portal was located.
After all, there was no basis for trust between the two sides. He could not let the black dog know about this. If it had the thought of causing trouble, and he missed this opportunity, there might not be a next time.
…
Not long after.
The two of them walked around the area and ascended to the palace in the clouds.
In the sky, the palace that was covered by the array formation was where the truly powerful figures from the other galaxies were staying.
Under normal circumstances, the powerful elders would not let the younger generation live above their heads. Therefore, the immortals basically lived in the palace on the ground.
At this moment, the black dog started to panic. It had wanted Chen Yiming to back off, but he had followed it as if nothing had happened. He seemed to have nothing to fear.
Although its ability was powerful inside the array formation, this was too close to the powerful elders who had set up the array formation. There was still a chance that it would be discovered.
If it had bad luck and happened to encounter someone who happened to check the situation inside the array formation, it would definitely be doomed. It would not even be able to escape.
Chen Yiming suddenly said, “Where is the exact location of the space teleportation portal? Bring me close by. I’ll give you a few minutes to escape.”
Although the black dog told many lies and wasn’t reliable, the space teleportation portal was very close to the palace in the clouds. There was no longer any need for it, and Chen Yiming was the type to keep his promise.
Next, it all depended on whether the black dog was honest. He was not a saint. If it dared to continue plotting or setting traps, he did not mind using his divine power, the Reversal Palm, to crush it to death.
However, what awaited him was not the black dog’s reply, but the smell of urine.
When the black dog heard his words, its legs went weak and it fell to the ground, peeing in fear.
“…”
Chen Yiming frowned. This dog was too cowardly.
At most, they were just a few powerful immortals. It was not like he was asking it to fight them. He would be at the front for everything. He would already let it escape first, so what was there to be scared about?
After a while, the black dog finally recovered and said, “The three elders of the Star Capturing Pavilion are guarding the space teleportation portal. They are equivalent to gods at the level of the star evolution realm in your galaxy.”
The three elders of the Star Capturing Pavilion?
Three gods at the level of the star changing realm?
Chen Yiming nodded. It was indeed a little troublesome.
However, he did not intend to fight them head-on. After stealing the space teleportation portal, he could just use the space anchor to escape. It would also not be a problem for him to fight off three people at once for a short time.
It was even very likely that he could retreat safely because the other side would underestimate him.
Seeing this, the black dog’s heart turned cold.
This person’s real goal was the space teleportation portal. I’m too unlucky. How did I get into such a situation?
If he succeeded, the Star Capturing Pavilion would not let anyone related to him go. If such a huge matter happened, they would not let anyone escape even if they were chased across the entire galaxy.
The black dog met Chen Yiming’s gaze, as if it needed to confirm the situation again.
Seeing this, Chen Yiming raised his leg and kicked the black dog in the butt. He almost kicked the black dog out of the gap in the array formation, scaring it so much that it quickly got up.
The black dog finally understood that Chen Yiming wasn’t joking. He was really targeting the space teleportation portal of the Star Capturing Pavilion.
It had no choice. It was not strong enough to change the situation. It just had to think about the escape route after this.
Soon, just as the two of them were about to make a move.
“Why does it smell like urine?”
Some of the female immortals and male immortals who had come out of the palace sniffed and turned towards the source of the smell.
In the corner of the garden in the air, a small patch of lawn was slightly wetter than the surroundings. The smell was also coming from there.
“Whose immortal beast is it? It’s so disgusting!”
A female immortal’s expression immediately changed to one of disgust.
Spirit beasts or mutant beasts adopted by immortals were collectively called immortal beasts. Some had strange tempers and retained the habits of certain wild beasts.
Therefore, even if it was the territory where immortals lived, it was not strange for there to be feces and urine in some corners.
“Jing Zhu, don’t be angry.”
“We’re not the only immortal faction that has come to the abandoned world this time. Some immortal beast might be deliberately causing trouble in bad taste.”
A male immortal stepped forward to comfort her.
The female immortal called Jing Zhu was very beautiful, especially with the marking between her eyebrows. She was pure and charming.
Coupled with her high cultivation talent, many male immortals hoped to become her companion on the path of cultivation and explore the path of eternal life together.
Then, another male immortal waved his hand, and a stream of light flew over.
The urine that the black dog had spilled onto the lawn was covered by a new layer of mud. More grass had been created on the lawn to completely absorb the smell of urine.
In the end, the young immortals quickly left.
Chen Yiming held back his laughter. He had heard the conversation between the female immortals and male immortals the entire time. One of the male immortals had unintentionally become the black dog’s poop collector.
The black dog was frightened again.
It had almost thought that it was about to be exposed. The real situation was close to that. If the stream of light that the male immortal had created with a wave of his hand had hit the edge of the array formation, the intense fluctuations and the partial destruction of the formation’s structure resulted in a high chance that the figure of the man and the dog would be seen. Chen Yiming, who dared to target the space teleportation portal, wasn’t panicking, but the black dog was.
…
In the air above the clouds, Chen Yiming and the black dog appeared.
There was a square made of blue stone bricks below them. The square floated in the air, and three old men sat cross-legged on a stone platform with their eyes closed. The stone platforms were arranged in a triangular formation.
These three old men were the three immortals from the Star Capturing Pavilion.
In the immortal cultivation system, human immortals corresponded to the star condensation realm. This meant that they still had a trace of mortal characteristics. Their essence spirits had yet to be truly entrusted to the natural laws.
However, with a sufficiently strong power of essence spirit, one could already control the world and destroy stars with a wave of his hand.
Earth immortals corresponded to the jade star realm. Their essence spirit were entrusted to space. In other words, within the confines of certain natural laws, if one’s essence spirit was not destroyed, it was almost impossible for them to die.
Compared to gods of the same level, the threshold for cultivation was naturally much higher. There were no gods at the jade star realm with divine worlds in the lower three grades. Their essence spirits would directly dissipate and be destroyed.
There was almost no difference between a heavenly immortal and a god at the star evolution realm. They were both a small group of people who had truly embarked on the path of cultivating natural laws. There were very few of them, other than in a special place like the abandoned world.
In the middle of the square, in the center of the triangle formation, was a huge black rock. This special rock was the space teleportation portal.
After the huge rock was activated, it would turn into a space-travel portal. At the same time, a space-travel portal would open at the coordinates on the other side that had been set in advance.
After that, the huge rock needed the three heavenly immortals to provide an energy supply to ensure that the space-travel portal remained open.
This way, the people in front of the space-travel portal on both sides could use it to teleport. However, if there was a problem with the supply of energy, they might fall into the space-travel distortion along the way.
Therefore, during the process of using the huge rock to open up the temporary space-travel portal, the three heavenly immortals guarded it in a triangle formation. It was also to prevent any accidents from happening. They could each split half of their attention to fight any enemies.
