Chapter 2677: Chapter 2677: The Cost of Instant Teleportation
If one reaches the Heavenly Realm, they can use Devouring the World to turn everything into Chaos, thus being able to create Chaos on their own.
But Su Yang’s current strength is far from that; he’s only in the Basic stage of the Earth-level Realm, so creating Chaos is entirely impossible for him.
After pondering for a while, Su Yang suddenly recalled the Chaos Sparrow.
Su Yang didn’t know where to find Chaos, but perhaps the Chaos Sparrow had some special abilities, considering it was born within Chaos itself.
Su Yang found the Chaos Sparrow and explained his idea to the little creature.
Surprisingly, after following Su Yang for a long time, the little creature could understand what he said. Upon hearing Su Yang’s words, it flapped its wings and spat out a mass of Chaos.
Su Yang’s eyes lit up. At last, there was Chaos, which meant this method could be attempted.
Putting the Chaos Sparrow away, Su Yang immediately enveloped that mass of Chaos. Though it was just a small amount, it was enough for Su Yang since he was merely using the power of the Buddha Country in the Palm within the Chaos, not consuming it.
Taking a deep breath, Su Yang started trying again.
He operated the power of Devouring the World within the space, and the process went smoothly and was easily completed.
However, when Su Yang utilized the power of the Buddha Country in the Palm within the Chaos, he was astonished to find that it was far more difficult than he had imagined.
Exerting the Buddha Country in the Palm within the Chaos consumed hundreds of times more power than in space.
Just deploying the Buddha Country in the Palm directly drained a third of Su Yang’s power, and cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.
Su Yang was shocked. At this rate of consumption, to achieve Instant Teleportation once would cost at least seventy percent of his power. In other words, given his current power status, he could only perform Instant Teleportation once, and there was no way to even consider a second attempt!
"How could this be?" Su Yang was stunned. This consumption is too severe, isn’t it?
After flipping through the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book, Su Yang suddenly realized that it contained a record stating this method was most suitable for those at the Heavenly Realm. Using it at the Earth-level Realm was just impossible to sustain this consumption!
Su Yang sighed. It was also due to his extraordinary power that he could bear the cost of one Instant Teleportation. If it were another cultivator at the Earth-level Realm, even one whose realm was higher than his, they might not be able to bear the consumption of one Instant Teleportation.
Despite the severe consumption, Su Yang gritted his teeth and persevered. This was the only chance, after all.
He slowly pushed the two forces, allowing them to merge together.
Then, Su Yang felt a darkness before his eyes, and the surrounding scene changed instantly, and he appeared in a different location.
Su Yang carefully observed his surroundings and was astonished to find himself about three months’ journey away from his previous position.
This distance was neither long nor short. What frustrated Su Yang was that he had consumed seventy percent of his power only to Instant Teleport this short distance? According to his estimation, he should at least be able to teleport across half of the Great World!
Fortunately, there was ample Heavenly Level Spiritual Energy in the Immortal Palace for him to absorb. After his one-time Instant Teleportation, Su Yang consumed a lot of power and sat cross-legged to recuperate.
After about three days, Su Yang finally recovered. Then, he tried several times in succession to see if he could control the power consumption and teleportation distance.
After several attempts, Su Yang understood the situation with Instant Teleportation.
Power consumption was uncontrollable. Each teleportation required seventy percent of Su Yang’s power. In other words, given Su Yang’s current state, he could only teleport once, with no possibility of a second attempt. And Su Yang’s previous plan to teleport into the First Divine Palace, steal the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, and teleport away was impossible.
Because, given his power situation, once he teleported in, there was no way to teleport out again.
So now, Su Yang could only revise his plan, first figuring out how to enter the First Divine Palace, obtain the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, and then teleport away. This plan was still feasible.
Moreover, regarding the teleportation distance, after Su Yang’s repeated attempts, he found that three months’ journey was the maximum teleportation distance he could manage. Of course, he could shorten this distance or determine the teleportation direction, but even if he teleported just one meter, the power consumption wouldn’t change—still seventy percent of his power. This left him quite speechless.
Nonetheless, having this method was much better than having no method at all. At least now, there was hope of taking the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet.
After attempting Instant Teleportation several more times, Su Yang fully grasped the method and then began preparations for the journey to the First Divine Palace.
Su Yang also summoned the three Crystal Skulls. Since last time, Su Yang had them stay inside the Chaos Gourd and hadn’t let them out. During that time, Su Yang was working in the Immortal Palace, and their presence outside was very dangerous. They were safer inside the Chaos Gourd.
The three fellows were stifled inside the Chaos Gourd and finally emerged, with the Second City Lord gasping for air and saying gloomily, "Boss, you let us in to rest, but why did it last for a hundred years?"
"It’s nothing. During this time, I’ve been investigating the surroundings, so I haven’t let you out!" Su Yang casually replied.
"Boss, what’s the situation now?" the Great City Lord asked immediately. "Did you get the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet?"
"Not yet!" Su Yang shook his head.
"No way?" the Second City Lord’s eyes widened. "Boss, we gave you the directions. It’s been a hundred years, and you still haven’t gotten the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet?"
Su Yang glared at him. "Nonsense, do you think it’s that easy? The Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet is hidden in the First Divine Palace, and all the experts in the Immortal Palace are waiting in the First Divine Palace. I know the location of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, but do you think I can get it? Surrounded by so many powerful beings inside the First Divine Palace, do you think I can escape?"
"Uh..." The Second City Lord was speechless and scratched his head, muttering, "Damn, those Guardian Gods are really treacherous. They hid the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet in the First Divine Palace and have so many experts guarding it. Isn’t this deliberately targeting us?"
"We’re trying to steal their Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet; of course, they wouldn’t agree!" Su Yang said. "Wouldn’t you prepare if you knew someone was coming to take your stuff?"
