Chapter 241 Mysterious Kingdom
"You want to send me to the mysterious kingdom? What for?" Liu Feng knit his eyebrows. This was a bit sudden for him, after all.
"This is an exchange program. There are very few people who we can actually send there. The inner sect disciple are too weak and cannot protect themselves there, while most core sect disciple are too strong that sending them would be more threatening than an exchange."
"So you want to send me there and bring someone from the mysterious kingdom to your sect. An exchange program? Just who are you taking hostage?" Liu Feng looked at a very nervous looking Li Tian.
"Just... this is not up for discussion. I have more things to do. You are going to the mysterious kingdom. Many would kill for this opportunity, but here you are, refusing it. I am going to send you to the Lush Emerald Sect. And in turn, we get one of their core disciples here. It will be a nice and refreshing change, letting both sects learn from each other." Li Tian said.
"When do you want me to leave then?" Liu Feng asked.
"Immediately. I know that you have all of your things in your spatial ring, and that white tiger of yours can come as well. He can also act as a Xiantian expert from our side. You can leave right now." Li Tian looked to the side, where Liu Man was standing.
"It seems to me that all of this is very rushed. Very rushed." Liu Man asked with narrowed eye slits.
"We can leave now. I will also show you one of the benefits of being a part of the core sect. A treasure that not many in Tiandu can claim to operate. I will let you enter the Ancient Portal." Li Tian smiled and said.
"The ancient portal? You mean a teleportaion portal of a large scale? Why would you call it ancient?" Liu Man asked.
"The knowledge on how to make the portal is long gone. Now, we can only use the portals that exist as of right now. There are more reasons that the sky heavens sect is located here, than just the forest that surrounds it." Li Tian said as he walked deeper into the Core Sect Valley.
Liu Feng had no choice but to follow as well, and they came to a place that Liu Feng never came to before.
This was a small hill, not a peak or a valley. And on this slightly elevated platform, something similar to the dragon gate stood tall.
But it wasn\'t as mysterious, and it had runes all over the edge of the portal.
Just looking at it, Liu Feng could see that it was made from a metal, not iron, but something much stronger. It also had the runes carved into it, but which could only be activated with Qi.
"This portal has its constraints. It can only take you to somewhere who has activated the portal at the same time. You can only go there if you communicate with the other person properly." Liu Man pointed out.
"And what if you don\'t?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows.
"You will be lost in all space. Now shut up. I need to use a lot of spirit stones for this, and my heart bleeds for this." Li Tian said as he snapped his hands.
Piles and piles of intermediate grade spirit stones started appearing around this portal, and all of them became mist that fed this portal that was twenty feet tall and wide.
Slowly, a whirlpool of black and white colored lines started forming. It took over the entire portal, and gave it a mysterious feeling.
But just looking at it, Liu Feng shivered. This seemed insanely dangerous. It felt like he would die if he entered.
He looked at Li Tian, who was still looking at the portal with all seriousness, and was not bothered to look at Liu Feng.
All this Qi was still not enough. He had to make sure that the Qi could sustain the portal, and any shortages and he would give the Qi himself.
"Fine. The coordinates have finally locked onto to themselves." Li Tian said.
The white stripes slowly engulfed the black ones, and the portal became a swirling and glowing white light that seemed much safer to enter.
The black light seemed to be the endless void itself, something that he could not even hope to touch, or he would be ripped apart into shreds. Even Li Tian could not touch the void. It was a place that terrified even the strongest of cultivators.
"What are you waiting for? Every second you waste, I am losing spirit stones. Go in." Li Tian snarked.
Liu Feng shook back to reality and nodded at Liu Man. Both of them jumped at the portal, and walked through.
The moment that they walked through though, Li Tian\'s nervous expression finally vanished. He sighed and looked at the portal again, but this time with a more relaxed expression.
The portal brightened, and a hand came out of it. A slender hand that seemed like it was carved out of jade.
Soon, the hand and the woman that accompanied it came out of the portal and looked at Li Tian.
"I pay my respect to the sect leader of the Sky Heavens sect." she bowed down instantly.
The portal shined again, and another graceful lady floated out, and glanced at Li Tian.
"It is my honor to be in the presence of the savior of the Lush Green Sect." the second woman said.
"Aizz, is Bing Yuxin well and good? She should be, after all, there is no one in this world who has more vitality than she does. She really has such ridiculous expectations when she takes in disciples. To think that she took two kingdom toppling beauties in." Li Tian chuckled as he snapped his fingers.
The portal instantly dimmed down, and the white light disappeared.
