Chapter 82: Teleportation Goes Better with Bricks and Blunt Sticks

Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Teleportation Goes Better with Bricks and Blunt Sticks

As an Array Spirit born within the Relic Guardian Array, the phantom could traverse the entire relic with ease.

Under the Array’s influence, the figures of the phantom and Su Han vanished from their spot. The next moment... they had already appeared hundreds of miles away, atop a field of ash left behind by a fire.

All the trees had been incinerated, turning the ground to ash.

Amidst the ashes, less than a hundred meters from Su Han and the phantom, a large tree that had stood gracefully in the flames flickered with a dazzling golden light—Skill Tree (Lit).

’As I thought, my idea was correct.’ A fleeting look of joy appeared in Su Han’s eyes, and he forced himself to calm down.

Before the phantom could speak, he flew directly to the side of the tree shimmering with golden light.

With a thought, Su Han opened the Skill List of available skills within the Skill Tree.

Available Skill 1: No Distance.

’No Distance?’

Su Han was slightly taken aback. ’The name of this skill... seems a little familiar.’

There was only one available skill, so there was nothing to agonize over. His mind focused on the No Distance skill, and the skill transformed into a unique strand of Dao Rhyme, entering Su Han’s Sea of Consciousness.

"BOOM!"

Almost at the very instant the Dao Rhyme from the skill merged into his Sea of Consciousness, Su Han’s cultivation level leaped from the mid-stage of the Spirit Platform realm all the way to Spirit Platform Perfection.

The intensity of his Divine Thought within his Sea of Consciousness also exploded, increasing by several times over, truly reaching a boundless state comparable to a vast ocean.

A sea of Divine Thought. If measured by the standards of ordinary Cultivators, Su Han’s Divine Thought Power at this moment was no weaker than that of the monstrous geniuses from Ancient Times when they reached Divine Sea Perfection.

Unfortunately... compared to his Sea of Consciousness, which was as vast and endless as a cosmic starry sky, this amount of Divine Thought was but a drop in the bucket. As for filling his entire Divine Sea with Divine Thought, the gap was greater than the distance of several of the Great Saint’s somersaults.

The advancement of his realm, the explosion of his Divine Thought—all of it was masked by the Heaven-Deceiving Concealment Technique. Even the phantom, who had a clear perception of the entire relic, noticed nothing unusual.

By the time his realm stabilized at Spirit Platform Perfection, Su Han had also completely absorbed the information brought by the No Distance skill.

Skill: No Distance. Spatial distance becomes naught; cross thousands of miles in an instant.

Skill Effect: Leave behind a spatial node for instantaneous teleportation. (Skill Cooldown: Twenty-four hours.)

As the name suggested, the No Distance ability was a skill similar to instant teleportation. Upon obtaining the skill, Su Han had grasped a portion of the Space Law.

Under this Law, Su Han could instantly appear anywhere within the range of his Divine Thought. A distance of thousands of miles could be crossed in a single step.

As for the Skillification of No Distance, a strange expression couldn’t help but creep onto Su Han’s face.

Leave behind a spatial node for instantaneous teleportation.

And this so-called "leaving a spatial node" meant that as long as he had been to a place, the Space Law would automatically leave an imprint of that location’s spatial node.

In other words... as long as it was a place he had been to, he could instantly teleport there in the future, regardless of whether it was hundreds of millions of miles away.

And the cooldown for this teleportation ability... was only twelve shichen, a mere day.

’Isn’t this... just the Recall and Teleport from the games I played in my past life?’

’The only difference is the addition of a skill cooldown?’

Feeling the new ability the skill granted him, Su Han couldn’t help but feel a little speechless.

’However... instant teleportation seems like a perfect match for a Brick and a Blunt Stick!’

’This is... really pushing me further and further down the path of Skillification.’

While Su Han was feeling speechless, the phantom behind him was looking at him with a face full of doubt.

’When we came over, this tree couldn’t be burned no matter what. Why is it that this guy just stood in front of it, and after only a few breaths, the entire tree was burned to ash?’

"Great Saint..."

"THWACK!"

A stick landed on the back of the phantom’s head, knocking its Divine Soul askew and throwing its mind into chaos. It took a long while for it to recover.

After recovering, the phantom looked at Su Han with eyes now full of reverence. ’It seems I still underestimated this guy’s strength. He can actually attack an existence like me, who straddles the line between corporeal and ethereal, with just a wooden stick.’

"Call me Great Saint again, and I’ll really kill you."

Seeing Su Han’s exceptionally fierce look, the phantom was at a loss for words. He was clearly a Great Saint of the human race, yet he insisted on not being called one.

Everything about him was bizarre, and his style was so peculiar.

’This guy... is toxic!’

Thinking this inwardly, the phantom spoke again, "Gre—... This tree..."

Su Han shook his head. "I don’t know. It’s your tree, don’t ask me. Ask again and I’ll kill you."

The phantom: "..."

"Help me look again. Are there any more of these unburnable trees?"

The phantom: "..."

’Didn’t you just say you don’t know anything? Then why are you looking for this kind of tree?’

Once again manipulating the power of the entire relic’s Array to help Su Han search, the phantom shook its head after a thorough scan. "There are no more."

Su Han nodded, not disappointed.

To have found two Skill Trees during his trip to the relic was already a considerable gain for Su Han.

Seeing Su Han nod without any displeasure on his face, the phantom relaxed slightly.

After a moment’s thought, it asked, a little tentatively, "Then... is there nothing else you need?"

The phantom’s subtext was... ’If you don’t have any other business, can you please leave soon?’

Su Han thought for a moment. His main purpose for entering the relic was to see if he was lucky enough to encounter a Skill Tree.

Now that he had found two, and both skills were awesome, it could be said that his gains from this trip were already substantial.

But... since it was a relic, and since so many people had come here in search of opportunities...

It would feel a bit wrong for him to leave empty-handed like this.

Thus, under the phantom’s expectant gaze, Su Han shook his head.

"I’m planning to look around some more, see if I can find any other good stuff."

The phantom: "..."

Looking at Su Han, who was treating the relic like his own home, it almost burst into tears.

’This is my home! Not your home! Would you please consider getting this fact straight?’

Though it wished it could bite Su Han to death, the phantom clenched its teeth. "What kind of good stuff are you looking for? I can help you look."

Su Han gave it a surprised look. "Really?"

’Are there really such nice people in this world? It helped me burn trees, helped me find Skill Trees, and now it’s willing to help me find treasures.’

’This isn’t a Guardian Array Spirit of the relic; this is the poster child for selling out your own side!’

’With a Guardian Array Spirit like this, how could this relic not be plundered dry?’

At this moment, Su Han finally understood why his father had told him that there was no danger in the relic.

With an Array Spirit like this guarding it, entering the relic was basically a free pass to opportunities.

After thinking for a moment, Su Han suddenly realized he knew almost nothing about this relic.

He was completely clueless as to what treasures were inside.

However... since so many Cultivators from all over Jiuzhou were flocking to it, there were definitely good things in this relic, even though he didn’t know why none of them seemed to have made it inside yet.

Looking at the phantom, who was being so cooperative, Su Han felt it wouldn’t be right to just strip the relic of all its opportunities.

He pondered for a moment before asking in a negotiating tone.

"How about this, you see what the best things in this relic are, and help me pick one to take with me?"

The phantom: "...Haaaah."

It... wanted to bite someone.

This was going too far!

He barges into its home, destroys its land, burns its forests, and now he wants to snatch its treasures, even making it find the best one for him.

It...

If this relic wasn’t so ancient, if not for her... if not for the fact that it currently lacked the power to deal with this guy, it really would have fought him to the death.

After several deep breaths, the phantom managed to squeeze out a smile.

"Well... seeing as you’re a sword user, I have a Great Treasure Sword here that’s just right for you.

Please wait a moment, I’ll go fetch it for you."

Su Han nodded with a smile, silently marking the phantom with a spatial node.

The phantom’s figure disappeared from before Su Han’s eyes. The next moment...

"DAMN IT ALL! WHICH BASTARD STOLE MY GREAT TREASURE SWORD!"

A heart-wrenching, tragic howl echoed throughout the entire relic.
