Chapter 0793: Transferred Away
Night Essence Celestial River, Orchid Restraining Star, Thorn Tooth Lake .
With such a huge bounty appearing in Night Essence Celestial River, countless cultivators poured into Thorn Took Lake . In the previously sparse Thorn Tooth Lake, one could now find cultivators at every corner .
The hardest and most challenging thing about starry sky cultivation was the need for cultivation resources . But the bounty from this mission in Thorn Tooth Lake could easily suffocate an ordinary cultivator to death . Plus, even without this mission, one could still use this opportunity to search for some resources in Thorn Tooth Lake . As a result, countless rogue cultivators naturally gravitated towards it .
In a stone chamber deep inside the Thorn Tooth Lake, Yan Ji and Nalan Ruxue sat on the ground at opposite corners but facing each other . Yan Ji focussed on healing . Since Nalan Ruxue and Yan Ji didn’t share a common language, Nalan Ruxue also decided to close her eyes to cultivate .
“Do you use a talisman every time you go in and out of this place?” Yan Ji, who was in the middle of healing her wounds, suddenly opened her eyes and asked a question . By this time, her injuries had considerably recovered .
Nalan Ruxue opened her eyes and shook her head . “No, I usually go out using a concealed exit . The concealment array formation at the exit is of an extremely profound level . No matter how many times I go out, I can never find the entrance to get in . Therefore, I have no choice but to use a talisman to come inside while I take the exit to go outside . ”
“I’m leaving . ” Yan Ji said with a sigh .
Nalan Ruxue frowned, “Only death awaits you if you go out now . This place has many chambers, so if you don’t want to cultivate with me, just find a quiet chamber and cultivate by yourself . ”
Yan Ji gave a calm reply, “It’s not that . If I stay here, we’ll both end up dead . ”
Nalan Ruxue also gave a calm reply, “You can rest assured . I know the background of Shangguan Man’er . Her father, Shangguan Xiang, is Night Essence Celestial River’s Celestial River King . But even if he is a Celestial River King, I’m sure that he cannot find this place . ”
Yan Ji stood up and shook her head . “You only know that Shangguan Xiang is the Celestial River King of Night Essence Celestial River . But do you know who is Shangguan Xiang’s elder brother?”

Seeing Nalan Ruxue look at her with a puzzled expression, Yan Ji explained . “Shangguan Xiang’s elder brother is Shangguan Fei . He’s Nine Jewel Starry Sky’s Heavenly Emperor . If I hadn’t killed Shangguan Man’er, I wouldn’t have known about it either . ”
Yan Ji’s words immediately shocked Nalan Ruxue, and she didn’t speak for a long while . A Starry Sky Heavenly Emperor implied a powerhouse in the legendary Eternal Realm . Although this place had high-level concealment, it might not work against an Eternal powerhouse . Could they still stay hidden? Yan Ji had the right idea . If they continued to hide in this place, they most likely would meet a dead end .
“Just tell me where the exit’s location . ” Yan Ji asked on seeing the shock on Nalan Ruxue’s face .
Nalan Ruxue didn’t immediately answer Yan Ji’s words . Instead, she also stood up and hurried out of the chamber .
Yan Ji quickly followed Nalan Ruxue . After Nalan Ruxue took about seven to eight turns, they once again entered a large chamber .
On the stone platform in the middle of the room, they immediately focussed their gazes on a huge array formation display . Nalan Ruxue looked at this array formation-like screen and murmured, “Even if we want to leave, we can’t walk away . ”
Yan Ji also stared at the array formation display with a shocked look . The screen showed what was happening outside in the Thorn Tooth Lake . At this moment, the array formation in front of them displayed the movements of all people within the lake . Even without any Eternal-level experts coming here, just as Nalan Ruxue mentioned, they can’t escape .
“Do you still want to leave?” Nalan Ruxue looked at Yan Ji and asked again .
Yan Ji remained silent . She knew the same fate would befall her regardless of if she left or not . If Yan Ji went out, then at least Nalan Ruxue could escape . But once she went out, someone would immediately search her soul . At that moment, people would immediately know about Nalan Ruxue’s involvement .
“I’m sorry . I didn’t mean to get you into trouble . ” Yan Ji spoke up with regret .
Nalan Ruxue shook her head, “There’s nothing wrong with what you did . ”
After hesitating a bit, she added another sentence, “Yan Ji, have you seen him since you took to the starry skies . ”

Yan Ji’s eyes immediately flashed with loneliness . After entering Tian Continent, she always wanted to find Ning Cheng, but she never succeeded . She did not have the same character as Nalan Ruxue . If she liked someone, then she loved them . But if she didn’t like someone, she would never pretend otherwise . She would never make any excuses about it .
“Boom… . ” An explosion erupted outside, followed by a violent shock, which even Yan Ji and Nalan Ruxue felt .
Yan Ji and Nalan Ruxue glanced at each other . When they reached this room, both of them had already understood that someone would find this place sooner or later . The only reason people had not discovered this place was because of the concealment formation . Just as Yan Ji mentioned, if an Eternal expert came, then even this concealment formation wouldn’t hide them for long .
As the sounds of explosion grew louder and denser, Nalan Ruxue gave out a sigh . “There is a teleportation array here, but I have no means to activate it at all . ”
Yan Ji quickly asked, “Where’s this teleportation array?”
Nalan Ruxue walked to the huge array formation display and pressed down . The array formation screen immediately split from the middle, and a stone door that only one person could enter at a time appeared .
Yan Ji followed Nalan Ruxue, and the array formation screen closed again . The two then appeared inside another chamber ten feet away . Nalan Ruxue took out a seemingly simple array flag and raised it . The next moment, a teleportation array suddenly appeared in the middle of the empty room .
A powerful Dao Charm flowed out of the teleportation array . Yan Ji and Nalan Ruxue couldn’t understand anything about the power of this Dao Charm . However, they realised that this array was an extremely complicated ancient teleportation array .
At the four corners of the teleportation array were four huge grooves, and Yan Ji understood with a glance that these grooves were for a spiritual source .
“Does this teleportation array work? Or is it broken?” Yan Ji asked quickly .
Nalan Ruxue shook her head, “I don’t think this teleportation array has anything wrong with it . It’s just that it requires a high-grade spiritual source to initiate the teleportation . I tried using Perpetual Moon Pills and also used high-quality Starry Sky Crystals . But I still can’t get any reaction from this teleportation array . If I’m not wrong, this teleportation array requires either top-rank Starry Sky Crystals or Permanent Essence Pills . ”
“Permanent Essence Pills?” Yan Ji felt her heart move and asked .

Feeling a slight excitement in Yan Ji’s tone, Nalan Ruxue quickly asked, “Do you have Permanent Essence Pills?”
Ordinary cultivators would find it challenging to obtain Permanent Essence Pills . In general, only Heaven Seated and above cultivators could seek out and use Permanent Essence Pills, and even use it as currency . Ordinary cultivators, even if they could get some, it wouldn’t exceed a handful .
“I have some Permanent Essence Pills . ” Yan Ji nodded . She had Shangguan Man’er’s ring, which contained a large number of Permanent Essence Pills and Perpetual Moon Pills .
“But… . ” Nalan Ruxue looked at the four grooves with hesitation . Even if they had Permanent Essence Pills, they would require at least a few tens of thousands of Permanent Essence Pills to fill up those grooves . Would Yan Ji have these many Permanent Essence Pills?
“Boom-Boom” the explosion sounds grew louder as if someone wanted to turn over everything underground .
Yan Ji stepped onto the teleportation array and said to Nalan Ruxue, “You should also come . ”
After Nalan Ruxue stepped onto the teleportation array, Yan Ji raised her hand and waved it, shooting out several shadows . In just a moment, Permanent Essence Pills filled the four grooves .
A ‘click’ sound emerged… Just when this sound emerged, the Permanent Essence Pills in the four grooves of the teleportation array started to tremble violently . They then transformed into four pure streams of starry sky spirit qi before drilling into the teleportation array .
Yan Ji and Nalan Ruxue, standing on the teleportation array, felt a much more violent force condensing and rushing up from the ground . The two looked at each other in horror and subconsciously clenched each other’s hands . Yan Ji knew that even a hundred thousand Permanent Essence Pills couldn’t produce such a horrifying force .
At this point, both of them understood that the Permanent Essence Pills in the four grooves served only one purpose . That is, to activate a starry sky spirit vein embedded in this teleportation array .
“Buzz… . ” A harsh sound emerged, following which a while light enveloped Yan Ji and Nalan Ruxue at the same time . A burst of dizziness erupted, and the two instantly fainted, without even the slightest hint of consciousness .
After the two teleported away, the teleportation array in the room calmed down . It soon vanished from sight as the concealment array formation automatically activated .
Not knowing how long they remained unconscious, Yan Ji and Nalan Ruxue woke up at the same time . Nalan Ruxue looked around and suddenly stood up while sweeping out with her spiritual consciousness . After just a few breaths, she said, “This is not the Thorn Tooth Lake . Although we successfully teleported away, I still can’t figure out where we arrived . ”
Yan Ji also stood up and looked at the stone chamber where the two of them had appeared . After carefully listening for a while, she spoke, “If I didn’t hear wrong, this place should be somewhere underwater . ”
“So, what should we do now?” Nalan Ruxue asked subconsciously . Surviving a certain death, she now felt much better than before .
Yan Ji looked at the teleportation array . “The first thing to do is to dismantle the main parts of this teleportation array . ”
Nalan Ruxue quickly understood that Yan Ji had the right idea . Only after tearing down the teleportation array should they think of anything else .
……
Thousand Cry Star’s Tipping Rainbow City . The primer city of the Night Essence Celestial River .
At this time, a young cultivator with a short beard and wearing blue-robes walked into Tipping Rainbow City’s Trade Union . As soon as he entered the trade union, he saw the first eye-catching bounty on the huge mission screen . It also showed a clear picture of Yan Ji .
The blue-robed cultivator turned furious and punched out, blowing the trade union’s huge mission screen into pieces . If he hadn’t lost all rationality, he would have already destroyed the starry sky city . While all the people inside still reeled in shock, the blue-robed cultivator spoke up with an angry voice, “I will kill anyone who dares to touch even a strand of Yan Ji’s hair . ”
After speaking, the blue-robed cultivator disappeared without a trace . Only at this time did the trade union’s staff sober up . Someone had dared to smash the trade union’s array formation display . This person had to die! But when the several deacons from the trade union rushed out, the cultivator who smashed the array formation screen had long since disappeared . Since they couldn’t even see that person’s shadow, how could they kill this person?
……
The blue-robed young cultivator naturally was Ning Cheng who had just arrived at Night Essence Celestial River . When he saw that the trade union truly had put a bounty on Yan Ji’s head, it immediately made him furious . Moreover, with that bounty, even if Yan Ji wanted to hide, she wouldn’t have any means . After smashing the trade union’s array formation screen, he immediately rushed to the Thorn Tooth Lake at full speed . He would never forgive himself if something happened to Yan Ji .
