Chapter 722 650: A Universe Within, Not Casting the Net Without Seeing the Fish

"Are there really such things as coincidences in this world?"

"Besides, even if there is a Cross-Realm Teleportation Array, the people from the Merak Sacred Land will be the ones getting anxious, not us!"

"Once the Merak Sacred Land has everything set up, we'll still have a chance to use it!"

A Cross-Realm Teleportation Array could transport far more than just one person—it could send many.

With the Talent he was currently displaying, he would naturally be qualified to occupy one of the spots.

"Even if I can't go this time, and even if the Cross-Realm Teleportation Array is destroyed... as long as one has been found, it's highly likely a second one exists somewhere. Plus, they can be repaired!"

"And even if there is an array, there's the huge question of whether the destination is safe!"

"So, don't be anxious. We'll take it slow."

Yang Chan's gaze swept over the Black Dragon as his body began to move again. He was in no hurry, and he saw no reason to be.

With his current Cultivation as a Second Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster, he could still improve steadily within the Merak Sacred Land. Heading into an unfamiliar environment, on the other hand, was not a good choice.

He would only consider leaving when the day came that the Merak Sacred Land could no longer help him and the Taiyu Divine Continent could no longer meet his needs. That was still a long way off, so he wasn't in a hurry. He would take his time.

As for the Black Dragon's impatience, that was unimportant.

He was the master of the Profound Yin Hanging Bead; everything would naturally be done according to his will. As for the Black Dragon, some simple placating would suffice.

"Master speaks reason!"

The Black Dragon sighed to himself, unsurprised by Yang Chan's choice.

It had watched Yang Chan improve day by day; both his Martial Arts Cultivation and his Alchemy Ability were advancing steadily. Under these circumstances, Yang Chan naturally wouldn't care for something as uncertain as a Cross-Realm Teleportation Array. Besides, neither the journey through the array nor the destination was guaranteed to be safe.

Even if he arrived safely, integrating into a strange new world would take a very long time, and joining a major power would require a great deal of effort.

If he became a Loose Cultivator, obtaining Cultivation Resources would be even more difficult.

Yang Chan's current level as a Second Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster was not bad in the Taiyu Divine Continent. However, in a Cultivation World with Divine Veins, the upper limit of Martial Arts was no longer the Blood Exchange Martial Saint realm, but the even stronger Divine Acupoint realm—or perhaps even higher. In a place like that, obtaining Cultivation Resources would be incredibly difficult.

The Black Dragon was constrained by the Profound Yin Hanging Bead and wanted to find a method for an Artifact Spirit to become a True God. That was why it had always longed to leave the Taiyu Divine Continent for a true Cultivation World.

If their positions were reversed, it naturally wouldn't rush into an unfamiliar world either. Instead, it would first raise its Martial Arts Cultivation and accumulate Cultivation Resources, only considering a move to a world more suitable for Cultivation when its progress stalled.

The Black Dragon knew that when that time came, Yang Chan would be even more eager to leave than it was. The only problem was that it would be a very long wait, and accidents could happen in the meantime.

However, it understood the priorities and was, after all, bound to another's will. Thus, it backed down and agreed with Yang Chan's perspective.

"If you feel you have too much time on your hands, you could read some books on Arrays. If we find a Cross-Realm Teleportation Array, but it's been damaged and needs to be repaired, we could save a lot of time if you knew how to fix it!"

Yang Chan glanced at the Black Dragon, which was floating nearby looking somewhat bored, and spoke slowly.

He had no intention of studying Array theory himself at the moment. Otherwise, he could have become an Array Master, but he simply didn't have the time to devote to it.

Whether it was a profession or a Cultivation Technique, improvement required time. For Yang Chan, reaching the Beginner level took time, and progressing beyond that consumed massive amounts of Potential Points. He had already planned out how to spend his Potential Points and had no intention of allocating any to Arrays for the time being. Nor did he have the time to study them slowly.

The Black Dragon, however, was a different story. He could have it study Array theory and put it to good use.

'It's not that I think it's too idle that I'm arranging this. It's purely to prepare for the future. A simple consideration for what lies ahead.'

After all, one could never know what unexpected situations the future might hold. It was always good to be prepared!

...

Saintess Pavilion.

"Saintess, the ruins within the Demon Cave are much larger than anticipated. The Saint Son, Baili Xi, is still inside searching for something. I'm afraid the rumors aren't false!"

Liao Lenghui, a First Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster, reported to the Merak Saintess, He Zixuan.

She was tasked with assisting the Merak Saintess in investigating matters within the Holy Land and was deeply trusted by her. She spoke up now because she felt the time was ripe to enter the ruins in the Demon Cave and seize the opportunity.

An opportunity that had caught the Merak Saint Son's eye would not be a simple one, and she certainly didn't want him to be the one to obtain it.

"A Supreme Elder is already stationed at the Demon Cave. Shouldn't we go into the Demon Cave Ruins to search for our own opportunities?"

With an expert at the Blood Exchange Martial Saint realm overseeing the area, their safety was more or less guaranteed, which was one reason Liao Lenghui had this thought.

"Quasi-Saint Son Gongye Zhe and Quasi-Saintess Gongsun Qiu have already joined forces. They're planning to enter the Demon Cave Ruins to compete for the opportunities as well."

Liao Lenghui continued.

The more people who got involved, the more Treasures the ruins likely held.

The Divine Weapons, Rare Elixirs, Top Level Spiritual Materials, and Ancient Texts that had already been retrieved from the ruins all served as proof of how precious this newly discovered site truly was.
