Chapter 872: Chapter 137: Setting Out, Arranging the Teleportation Array

Main Camp Core Area, True Monarch Yama’s Cave Mansion,

True Monarch Yama and the Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor sat opposite each other, a variety of exquisite foods laid before them.

In recent years, the tensions between the Human Race and the Ghost Race had gradually stabilized, with both sides engaging in mutual hunts around the Ghostly Mist Land.

"Brother Yu, who would have thought we would end up sitting together and drinking?" the Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor laughed.

"Indeed, the world is full of surprises!"

True Monarch Yama raised his wine cup, took a light sip, a hint of contemplation in his eyes:

"Back then, the Human-Demon Races were constantly in conflict, viewing each other as enemies, yet now we can enjoy this brief peace and cooperation; it’s truly sigh-worthy."

"Brother Yu, what do you think of my suggestion? If we join forces and set another trap, we are bound to achieve significant gains!"

"Who knows, perhaps just one battle could help you gather the ten thousand battle merit points you need!" said the Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor.

"I need to discuss this matter with Daoist Guu and others before giving you an answer!" replied True Monarch Yama.

"Very well, please inform me as soon as you make a decision!" With that, the Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor departed without lingering.

"You are... True Monarch Wangchuan!"

On his way, the Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor saw a young man approaching from afar and was taken aback before greeting him with a smile.

"Greetings, Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor!" Zhou Xun cupped his hands in salute,

He had not expected to meet the Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor here.

"Even you have come to this place; Zi Yi is also here. Please visit my cave mansion next time for a gathering!"

Zi Yi, also known as the Purple Flood Dragon Demon Emperor, was a rising star of the Demon Race who had been defeated by Zhou Xun in a game of strategy. After a brief exchange, the two parted ways.

Soon after, Zhou Xun arrived at True Monarch Yama’s Cave Mansion,

He took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, whispered a few words, and sent it inside, where it turned into a streak of firelight and flew in.

Before long, the door opened from inside,

and out walked a man with a nose ring and two horns on his forehead.

"Greetings, True Monarch Zhou, the master requests your presence inside!"

The man respectfully saluted!

This man was True Monarch Yama’s steed, a Tier Four Middle-Grade Demon Beast, the Thunder Tyrant Bull, possessing some Kui Ox bloodline!

He was a renowned existence throughout the Central Continent.

"Much obliged!"

Zhou Xun replied politely and then followed this man into the cave mansion.

Upon reaching the reception hall, he saw True Monarch Yama already seated in the main seat, waiting,

"Greetings, Daoist Brother Yu!"

"Hahaha, I thought there would be good tidings today; it turns out Younger Brother Zhou has come to visit, a rare guest indeed!"

"It’s been just a year; I imagine you gained quite a bit in the Ghostly Mist Land!" True Monarch Yama laughed.

"Altogether, I encountered only seven Tier Four Ghost Kings, and only managed to collect over two hundred points!" Zhou Xun replied.

"Seven! It seems your luck was quite good; most Daoists can only encounter one or two in a year!" True Monarch Yama remarked in surprise.

"It’s just fortune!" Zhou Xun said,

"Knowing you love Spirit Tea, I recently acquired some Tier Four Middle-Grade Snow Moon Tea; please have a taste!"

With a wave of his hand, two cups of Spirit Tea appeared on the table before Zhou Xun.

"Snow Moon Tea!" Zhou Xun exclaimed, recalling the first time he tasted this tea,

It was indeed a top-grade Spirit Tea,

Though it appeared quite ordinary, in appearance and aroma indistinguishable from mundane earthly tea,

Its fame spoke of its hidden qualities!

Zhou Xun immediately picked up the cup of Spirit Tea before him and took a gentle sip,

The tea washed over him, bringing a refreshing coolness that instantly cleared his mind, even more effective than Tier Four Low-Grade Calming Incense,

several times better!

As the tea entered his stomach, Zhou Xun felt as if he were in the Far North Icefield, surrounded by snow and wind, captivating him!

Once he came back to his senses, a surge of pure Spiritual Qi arose, filling his meridians,

He slightly operated his Cultivation Technique, refining it entirely,

This small sip equaled ten days of arduous cultivation for him.

"Beautiful realm, abundant Spiritual Qi!" Zhou Xun praised endlessly.

"I’ll share some with you later!" True Monarch Yama said nonchalantly, and then continued:

"Younger Brother Zhou, are you here today concerning the Teleportation Array?"

"Correct, I have been in the Ghostly Mist Land for a whole year, needing a three-month rest, just the right time to return to the Central Continent and complete the remaining Teleportation Array,"

"and fulfill my prior promise!"

Zhou Xun answered,

Of course, those three hundred battle merits were things he urgently needed, so that upon returning, he could exchange for the ’Nine-Curves Illusion Spirit Ginseng’.

True Monarch Yama slightly nodded, his gaze showing a bit of appreciation:

"Younger Brother Zhou truly keeps his word. If this Teleportation Array can be completed soon, it will greatly benefit our many operations on the front lines, facilitating material transfers and personnel exchanges."

Zhou Xun smiled and responded:

"Daoist Brother, it’s over-praise; it’s something within my ability, and I benefit from it too, so naturally, I must be diligent!"

"No time like the present, shall we set off today? If we travel at full speed, we might reach in three or four months!" True Monarch Yama said,

Previously, he came with the army, which naturally slowed their pace greatly,

However, traveling light as they were now, with their current cultivation, they would naturally be much faster.

So, led by True Monarch Yama, the two left the cave mansion and then departed from the main camp.

"The Central Continent lies to the east of the West Desert; if we fly continuously in this direction, we will reach it!" True Monarch Yama pointed eastward,
