"Master, what did you just say? How do you set up a teleportation array? I didn't hear it clearly, and I don't really understand what's written on the jade slip."
After Wu Tian and his master had wandered around Earth for a while, they came to the Moon. Now, Master Nan Hua is sitting on a meteorite on the surface of the Moon, introducing Wu Tian to the teleportation array.
"I just said that the teleportation array can only be activated with immortal stones, and the coordinates are also very important. The coordinates for returning to the sect are in the jade slip I gave you. Setting up the teleportation array is very complicated, and there are also specific incantations. You already know the incantation, but you don't need to know how to set it up for now. There is a teleportation array in front of us, and that planet is called Mercury in your Earth language."
Wu Tian is speechless. He is the first human to explore the universe, and it's already quite exaggerated that he went to the Moon without wearing a space suit. Now, he's the first Earthling to land on Mercury. It seems necessary to contact a magazine or radio station and make a special report: "Earthling successfully lands on Mercury".
Master Nan Hua has no idea what his disciple Wu Tian is thinking. He teleports with Wu Tian to Mercury. Teleportation is a patent for those above the Harmonization stage, and even for Nan Hua, who is at the Crossing Tribulation stage, it's a bit difficult to fly in space with a person. But relative to the "short distance" from the Moon to Mercury, Nan Hua can still bring Wu Tian along, albeit at the cost of some true essence.
"We're here." Nan Hua puts Wu Tian on a meteorite on Mercury. Sweat appears on his face, as traveling such a long distance is indeed quite difficult even for someone at the Crossing Tribulation stage.
Nan Hua points to the teleportation array next to them, which is covered with many pentagonal patterns overlapping each other, and tells Wu Tian that this is the teleportation array in the world of cultivation. It's used for interstellar teleportation, but usually immortals don't use this kind of teleportation array. They can directly teleport between stars, but that's something only immortals can do. Let's go back to Tianhuan Star through the teleportation array. First, observe the placement of the immortal stones and practice a bit, but don't teleport, got it?
"I got it, Master. But Master, how come there is a teleportation array on Mercury? Didn't you say that there are only teleportation arrays near cultivation planets or when two sacred sites of cultivation are established? How come there's a teleportation array near Earth?"
"I'm not sure about that. Maybe there were cultivators in your solar system in the past. You should go learn the array formation for teleportation. I need to replenish my true essence, and teleporting you to Mercury just now has consumed a lot of it." Without waiting for Wu Tian to ask any more questions, he took out a magic treasure and set up a simple defensive formation on the spot, and then went back to replenish his true essence.
Wu Tian watched his master bring him to Mercury, and he knew it must have been tiring for his master. So he didn't want to disturb him and went to the teleportation array instead. He looked at the array with countless pentagrams overlapping each other, and realized it would be difficult to learn how to use it. He wondered who had designed it so elaborately. According to his master's jade slip, he had to place the fairy stones his master had given him on the five outermost points and then use the interstellar teleportation compass his master had given him. It was a valuable tool, with an exterior that looked like a tortoise shell, but inside was a miniature universe. He didn't know who had made it, but his master had received it from his own master and had given it to him as a gift after obtaining one himself in a battle a hundred years ago.

The compass was precious, and it was essential for interstellar travel.
He tried to compare the interstellar coordinates with the compass, but he couldn't make any sense of it. He felt helpless as he watched his master recover his true element in the array. What could he do?
The Qifan Ring had many jade slips, so Wu Tian decided to read some common knowledge about the cultivation world.
Wu Tian was interested in reading these for a day or two, but if he continued for a week, he would lose interest. Seeing his master still recovering, Wu Tian decided to learn about alchemy and refining tools in the cultivation world.
Alchemy was a complicated field, and the first thing he had to learn was to identify different herbs. All sorts of herbs appeared in his mind, and if it weren't for his extraordinary memory, he wouldn't be able to remember them all. Even if he did remember them, Wu Tian felt inferior when he faced so many different herbs and their images.
Wu Tian knew that he couldn't do everything at once. After reading about many herbs, he decided to learn about their effects and properties. Some herbs were poisonous, while others were not.
After learning about the basic and intermediate levels, Wu Tian began to learn how to mix and refine herbs into pills. This was a complex field of study. Fighting was a regular occurrence in the cultivation world, and many people fought for resources such as spiritual veins and fairy stones. Wu Tian had read many records of large-scale battles in the cultivation world.
Therefore, having pills for recovery during battles was helpful. Some alchemy masters could refine pills that could raise one's cultivation by an entire realm, but they were legendary and had yet to be verified.
After getting a general understanding of alchemy, Wu Tian turned to learn about refining tools. Refining tools was not one of the strong points of the Tianyan Sect. The contents were mostly common knowledge among different sects. However, if smaller sects obtained the refining tool techniques of the Tianyan Sect, they would be overjoyed.
Time flies so fast. Three months have passed in the blink of an eye. Watching the master still showing no signs of waking up, Wu Tian no longer seemed interested in reading the jade scroll and had finished reading everything.
Wu Tian then went to the teleportation array and carefully studied the depiction of the array. He counted 64 pentagrams overlapping each other, as his master had said, each point corresponding to a positional coordinate. He couldn't help but wonder how many teleportation coordinates existed in the universe. Nevertheless, his master said that the most important thing was to focus on the three overlapping pentagrams at the center to determine the destination.
After carefully examining 125 positions, Wu Tian took out his compass and checked the positional coordinates with the star chart of the Icarus Galaxy. After searching for a while, he finally found the mark left by his master. He used a bit of true essence and immediately received a response from the other side of the teleportation array. Wu Tian sat cross-legged on the teleportation array, gazing silently at his master, while secretly reciting the teleportation spell. He couldn't wait to try it out when his master woke up.
Wu Tian knew the spell by heart, even without using true essence to recite it. After three days of staring blankly at his master, Wu Tian suddenly saw his master's body radiating with bright light, and he finally woke up. He told Wu Tian that they could leave now and that there was no need to stay here alone. Wu Tian was excited, but his true essence fluctuated a little. He was still reciting the teleportation spell in his mind.
Suddenly, white light flashed around the teleportation array, and Wu Tian was terrified. Just as the South China Master put away his defense treasure, he saw Wu Tian staring at him in horror, and the teleportation array seemed to have been activated. He was shocked and exclaimed, "How could you be so foolish? You started the teleportation array without waiting for me to enter?"
This was not Wu Tian's fault. He was just too excited when he saw his master wake up. But now it was useless to say anything. The South China Master could only hope that Wu Tian had not memorized the teleportation spell well enough to stop the activation. However, to his surprise, Wu Tian had already memorized it perfectly to show off. The South China Master immediately used teleportation to rush over, but the teleportation array had already been activated. The white light enveloped Wu Tian, and he desperately wanted to shout out for help from his master, but it was too late.
