Teleportation circles. With a name self explanatory enough, it could teleport someone to another place
within seconds, using the law of space and a formation circle as the medium. This had been built by a
high-level cultivator, one that expertise specifically in the law of space.
This was an extremely valuable product within the cultivation field, a feat so incredible that the average
person would never achieve.
They really didnât expect anyone to be hiding in the Hell Fish cave at the bottom of the pond in this
grave.
Dorothy asked, âI wonder where it sends you to? Could this be the exit to this grave?â
Alex shook his head. Since he was more familiar with formation circles and blueprints than Dorothy, he
said, âThis is a very complicated ancient talisman circle. Besides, it covers such a large area. So I
really doubt itâs just used to send us outside of the grave. I think this is a long-distance teleportation
circle.â
Dorothy nodded in agreement. âBut I think itâs broken. Itâs probably been here for a very long time, or
that the space is unstable, so it didnât have enough energy to activate. Too bad that I donât know
anything about formation circles, so I donât have any idea on how to repair it either.â
âHuh, whatâs this?â Alex then noticed something next to the doorpost.
âIt looked like⦠A token..?â
âThis is⦠A key!â
âThe key of the teleportation circle!â
Alex then remembered that members of the blood cult were trying to find a key.
âCould it be this one?â
He then tried it on the keyhole on the doorpost. As expected, they were a match. It fit the keyhole
perfectly.
After turning the key, the top of the doorpost immediately let out a large gush of spiritual power. It was
incredibly exhilarating. Moreover, it seemed to be shining a bright ray of white light.
âWhat? The doorâs not broken?â
âIs it activated?â
Both Alex and Dorothy were shocked. They then wondered if they should enter the portal before
immediately shaking the thought off and jumping away from the door.
They didnât want to get teleported⦠There were quite a few people who were still in the tomb after all. If
they really were to be teleported somewhere, the people in here would be doomed.
Despite this, the door only lit up for a split second. The formation was not activated fully and was
extinguished right after.
It was indeed slightly broken, and it didnât have enough energy on its own.
âThis really is the key to the portal!â Alex said.
This key wasnât what he initially assumed to be. He thought that this circle was the starlight formation
circle paired with the Holy Book It would seem that the key wasnât the one correlated to the Holy Book
âThatâs not right!â
âI remember Darven Mikail mentioning Dad finding a pair of keys when he first came here. He didnât
even take it with him and left it asideâ¦â
Dorothy immediately figured out his thoughts. âAre you suspecting that this is the key youâre looking
for? So your father came by a second time to use it? Then this teleportation circleâ¦â
She then knelt and observed the talismans intently.
She didnât understand the formation circle, but she still could figure something out from the worn-off
talismans.
In just a few moments, she nodded. âI think youâre right. From the worn-off talismans, I could tell that it
was used not long ago! This abrasion was probably caused by the last time the portal was in use!
Thereâd be a huge difference in the portalâs effects even if itâs one small scratch.â
Alex stored the key in his pocket. He had no power to repair the portal currently, so he decided to
research hard on such formations so he could come back to fix this.
Whether William teleported out of here or not, he wanted to take the chance no matter what.
âLetâs go! If we stay here too long, your two little lovers out there would be worried sickâ Dorothy said.
Alex nodded.
He then took both the barbels and the demon core out of the female Hell Fish since they could still be
of use. However, as he was cutting the barbels off, a piece of jade rolled out of the fishâs mouth when
he turned it to the side.
âHuh?â
âThatâs weird. Is that the Hell Fishâs tartar?â Alex froze.
Dorothy rolled her eyes and took it. âAre you mad? What do you mean tartar? This is a Memory
Crystal. Itâs pretty average, but I think itâs still usable.â
