"Where... where is this?"
When Bai Ling returned to Atlantis after countless hardships.
She was completely stunned.
In just a short time, the once dim Atlantis had undergone a drastic change.
And the spiritual energy here was so abundant!
So abundant that it was unbelievable.
"You're back?" Ao Yuan's sudden voice sounded in her ear.
"Dragon... Dragon God, did you do all this?" Bai Ling asked dazedly.
"Yes, I modified it a bit."
Bai Ling looked at Ao Yuan, who had a calm expression, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
If this was considered a slight modification, what would be considered a major one?
"Is your teleportation array linked?"
Upon hearing Ao Yuan's question, Bai Ling suddenly snapped back to attention and hurriedly said, "Ah... I'll link it now."
"Then go ahead," Ao Yuan moved aside, making way for Bai Ling.
Seeing this, Bai Ling stopped observing the surface scene, took a deep breath, and a hint of solemnity flashed in her eyes.
"Rise!"
Bai Ling stood firmly before the teleportation array and formed a hand seal.
*Swish!*
Instantly, spiritual energy converged within the teleportation array, bursting forth with a vibrant green glow.
"Condense!"
Bai Ling took a deep breath and shouted.
*Hum hum hum!*
In an instant!
The green glow continuously compressed within the range of the teleportation array, rippling like pebbles dropped into water.
At this moment, cold sweat began to bead on her forehead, and her face turned a little pale.
She looked extremely strained.
Clearly, connecting to the peak of Mount Taibai was no easy feat for Bai Ling.
"Condense! Condense! Condense!"
Seeing this, Bai Ling continuously cast several more hand seals and shouted loudly.
*Hum hum hum!*
The light within the teleportation array shone even brighter.
The ripples grew larger, emitting a buzzing sound.
It was as if the teleportation array itself was vibrating.
At this moment.
If anyone were on Mount Taibai, they would discover that a desolate area at the peak of Mount Taibai was also echoing with rumbling sounds.
The green light flashed, constantly compressing, compressing, compressing.
Slowly.
A line, almost invisible to the naked eye, began to form on the teleportation array.
The thin line extended out from the entrance of Atlantis, rose against the water, climbed Mount Taibai, and followed the mountaintop to connect with the rumbling area on the peak.
*Boom!*
With a deafening roar.
"Array formed!"
Bai Ling's heart rejoiced, and she shouted loudly!
The vibration abruptly subsided, and the green light instantly returned to its original state.
Seeing this, Bai Ling let out a long sigh of relief.
She felt completely drained, and her body collapsed onto the ground.
Although the process seemed simple and didn't require much effort, this was merely on the surface.
At this moment, although Bai Ling still had some spiritual energy left, the consumption of her mental power was incredibly immense.
If she hadn't taken the Spirit Condensing Pill earlier, Bai Ling felt that setting up this teleportation array would have been as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Even if she could have done it, she would have been utterly exhausted.
"Too much consumption?" Ao Yuan asked as he walked over.
"Not at all!" Bai Ling looked at Ao Yuan before her and managed to move her body slightly. "This is a piece of cake for me!"
Ao Yuan found this amusing.
He knew Bai Ling's personality, but he didn't expect her to be so stubborn.
"Then why are you lying down?"
"I... I... I... I like it!" Bai Ling remained defiant.
"Is that so?"
Ao Yuan smiled, and a beast core appeared in his hand out of thin air.
He suddenly said, "I thought setting up the teleportation array would be a bit difficult for you, so I was thinking of giving you a beast core."
"Beast core..."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ling's voice faltered, and her body froze.
It was as if time had stopped at that moment.
After a few seconds, Bai Ling let out a pained "Ouch," clutching her head. "Dragon... Dragon God, although setting up the array just now wasn't a big deal for me."
"But... but for some reason, my head suddenly hurts so much."
"It hurts so much..."
As she spoke, to make it seem more convincing, Bai Ling even rolled around on the ground a few times.
Seeing this, Ao Yuan smiled and handed the beast core to Bai Ling. "You should rest well."
With that, Ao Yuan stepped into the teleportation array.
*Whoosh—*
Ao Yuan's figure instantly vanished.
When he reappeared, he was already at the peak of Mount Taibai.
From here, he could overlook everything.
The entire scenery of Mount Taibai unfolded before his eyes.
At this moment, Mount Taibai was surrounded by the sea, with vast expanses of blue waves in the distance.
The calm and tranquil scene was breathtakingly beautiful.
Closer in, clouds swirled, and mist billowed, resembling a celestial realm.
Further inland, it was lush and green, like entering a primeval forest.
And in the innermost part, Mount Taibai was covered in pristine white, draped in a silver mantle.
Vaguely, he could see various beast figures around, clearly the demons and demon kings of Mount Taibai.
"Ascending to the peak to gaze at all mountains."
This line of poetry involuntarily came to Ao Yuan's mind.
And at this moment!
Ao Yuan was unaware.
After the leaders of various countries and demon kings from different regions contacted Ao Yuan.
They all headed towards the greatly transformed Mount Taibai, each with different emotions.
This time!
The journey to Mount Taibai!
They were determined to go!
And some beings from smaller worlds who had not interacted with Ao Yuan but were on good terms with humans or beasts, upon hearing the news, also emerged from their abodes and headed towards Mount Taibai.
What?
They weren't invited?
So what?
They had to go!
Even if they couldn't meet Ao Yuan, seeing his powerful demon kings would be a great honor.
What?
Too far away?
What kind of excuse is that?
To witness the glorious Blue Star Number One! What does distance matter?
Even if they traveled day and night, they had to get there!
And it wasn't just the leaders of countries, the great demon kings, and the beings from smaller worlds.
Even some powerful human cultivators were also setting out towards Mount Taibai.
For what reason?
They had simply learned of Ao Yuan's achievements.
So they were going to observe.
What? Would this displease the leaders of the countries?
This was merely the simple admiration of people for their idol.
Is that also not allowed??
...
While all beings on the Blue Star were in motion.
Two days later!
Mount Taibai!
At this time.
From a high vantage point, the silhouettes of various beings continuously arrived.
Within a radius of a hundred miles, countless figures teemed everywhere.
Ships were even lined up, filling the entire Mount Taibai!
There wasn't a single gap.
And at this moment.
The great demon kings of Mount Taibai were all busy.
They were responsible for all the arrangements for the arrival of the leaders of countries, the great demon kings, and the beings from smaller worlds.
As the mastermind behind it all, however, he appeared unusually idle.
At this moment, he was sound asleep on his dragon bed.
Perhaps even if he knew, his personality would not have caused any disturbance.
