As soon as he walked through the barrier, Lang Shun arrived inside where there was nothing but a simple circular stone slab on the sand below.

He looked at the stone slab with something carved on top of them, which wasn’t formation lines. “What are they?” Lang Shun asked as the many carvings on top of the stone slab. 

“Those are runes,” Alex explained. “The ones you usually write on the talisman. You can write them on objects too and have them work not very differently from formations.”

“Is… that so?” he asked. “So what does this do?”

“Come, I’ll show you,” Alex said and landed on top of the stone slab. He waited for his martial uncle to land too before starting.

“Does this work?” Lang Shun asked as he looked around.

Alex paused for a moment and looked at his uncle. “Actually… I don’t know,” he said. “This is my first time using this, so I suppose we will find out together if it works or not.”

“What? You don’t know—”

Alex activated the script before Lang Shun could finish complaining. The stone slab shined bright for a moment, almost blinding Lang Shun.

Then, at the next moment, the light vanished.

Lang Shun was crouched next to Alex with his head in his arms. He was too scared to look out at all.

“A-are we okay? Did it work?” he asked.

“Yes, it worked. You can open your eyes now,” Alex said. 

Lang Shun slowly opened his eyes to see what was going on. He didn’t know what the scripts were going to do. Was it going to form a fire barrier? Or sprout a fountain of water in the desert.

Maybe it was a training ground or some sort. He had absolutely no idea.

When he did finally see what was happening. His confusion increased even more. 

He was standing on top of the stone slab still, but the things around him were different. The sand had somehow turned into a large patch of grass, or so he thought.

However, the massive building that was a small distance away from them made him feel his first assessment was incorrect.

There were trees around him, and for some reason, there was a small shed full of pill swines. 

Alex walked away from the stone slab while Lang Shun could only look around in wonder. When he slowly turned around while looking at everything, his eyes finally fell on something that was behind him this entire time.

There was a massive metal wall that seemed to go high up before disappearing somewhere.

“Yes,” Alex said. “And we were successful. Had the script been a little worse and we had some problems while teleporting, you wouldn’t stop vomiting at all.”

“I teleported…” The man gulped when he heard that. This was the first time in his entire life that he had ever teleported. He had been anxiously looking forward to the day when he would finally get to teleport. However, it had happened without him even knowing about it.

Lang Shun took a few deep breaths before looking around once more. “Where are we exactly?” he asked. “This is not the Beast realm, is it? Or is this the Luminance Empire?”

“Oh no. This isn’t—”

“Your Majesty!” a girl ran in his direction the moment she saw him and arrived in front of him in a moment.

“Your majesty? Is that really you? Did you come back already? Why did you come back so soon?” the girl asked.

“Hey, Linlin. How’ve you been?” Alex asked.

“Didn’t you say you were going for a year, your majesty? Is there something wrong? How did you even return?” she asked.

“I’ll explain later,” Alex said. “I’m not really back, so don’t tell the others.”

“Ah! They already know,” Linlin said. “I notified them as soon as I saw you.”

“Your Majesty?” Old Lady Yao was the first to arrive, followed by the 7 others in the palace.

“Your majesty!” they all bowed toward Alex as soon as they saw him.

Lang Shun saw what was happening in front of him and was beyond shocked. He could feel the people in front of him, each one stronger than anyone he had seen before. And yet, they were all bowing in front of Alex.

‘Majesty?’ he thought. ‘Can it be?’

“Martial Nephew,” he called out to Alex. “Are we… in the Southern Continent?”

The group of people looked surprised when they heard the person behind Alex call him ‘Martial Nephew’.

“Yes, Martial Uncle. We are in the Southern Continent,” Alex said. “More accurately, we’re in my palace.”

Lang Shun was truly shocked when he heard that. He could only look around the place in awe while trying to understand the reality of the situation.

“Oh right, nearly forgot.”

Alex waved his hand and Scarlet flew out of her beast space. 

“Hmm?” she quickly realized where she was and changed back to her regular size again. “We’re back? How?”

She looked around at the people. 

“Your Majesty!” the group of people bowed even deeper this time.

“What’s going on? How are we back already?” Scarlet asked.

“I made a teleportation script connecting our palace to the northern desert of the Western Continent,” Alex explained.

“You did?” Scarlet was surprised. “Is that what you were planning on doing for so long?”

“Yes,” Alex said. “I didn’t have the material for it though, so I had to wait for Brother Shen to find it.”

Scarlet was slightly dumbfounded. “I can’t believe you made a teleportation formation joining two continents. I had thought only people with extensive knowledge of formations could do that. Doesn’t that put the Intercontinental formations out of commission then?”

“First of all, as I said, Teleportation script, not a formation. I’m using runes here,” Alex explained. “Second of all, the way they work is completely different too.”

“What do you mean?” Scarlet asked.

“The script is far from optimized and with my limited knowledge it will take me ages to do so,” Alex said. “Unlike the Teleportation formations, which can be used multiple times without worry, if we use this teleportation script in short succession, it will draw out so much energy from the spirit vein it is connected to that we will end up with a spirit stone mine.”

“How many times can we use it then?” Scarlet asked.

“I would say 3 times a day,” Alex said. “Any more and it would definitely destroy the spirit vein it is attached to. We also shouldn’t use it more than 10 times a year either, so there’s that.”

“That’s… not bad,” Scarlet said. “Where did you even learn to make this stuff? After all, we had to bring people to make a teleportation formation here.”

“I took the script design from the teleportation platform in senior Luhei’s place. As for how I made it work, I had learned that over 3 decades ago when I had first arrived in the northern continent.”

“I see,” Scarlet said. “So, you must be going back then.”

“Yes,” Alex said. “What about you? I don’t think you have a reason to go back.”

“No, I’m going back. I don’t want to waste my chance to converse with the senior. I’m going to make every moment count,” Scarlet said.

“Very well then, let’s go back.”
