Jing Luo was not expecting Lin Mu to say something like that.
"A Teleportation Array? You do know how difficult those are to make, right? Just the materials required are already a handful, not to mention the extensive network of formation that we will need to make across the continent.
This is not something we can do in a short amount of time. Heck, even if all the sects of the world combined their powers, it would still take a hundred years or more to do something like this." Jing Luo replied.
"Indeed." Lin Mu nodded his head in agreement.
"But that is if we follow the usual method of making a teleportation array. We know that a teleportation array is the amalgamation of several teleportation formations linked together with multiple teleportation channels.
The problems begin not with the teleportation formation themselves, but the channels. They are hard to stabilize and when multiple of them are linked, the problem can get even more intense.
But what if I told you we can simply eliminate the need for the channels and the interlinking teleportation junction?" Lin Mu explained.
"Huh? Something like that… is possible." It was now that it struck Jing Luo.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLin Mu nodded his head in response and spread his hands around.
"Why do we need to make the channels and the interlinking teleportation junction when we have an entire Minor plane on our side?" Lin Mu said with a chuckle.
~huu~
Jing Luo took a deep breath and thought of the requirements to make something like this.
"If we are to do this… the teleportation formations that will act as the individual stations will need to be made from spatial elemental materials. Though they wouldn't have to be very complex.
Most of the strain will be directly passed on to the Kong plane thus there would be no need for the stabilizing formations and the supporting formations." Jing Luo spoke.
"Mmhmm… what if we use something that is already premade?" Lin Mu asked next.
"Something premade?" Jing Luo wondered what Lin Mu was thinking about and soon figured it out.
"You mean… no, it can't be. Their uses are very different. We won't be able to establish a two way route. It will simply collapse." Jing Luo replied understanding what Lin Mu was talking about.
"We don't need a two way route. They will simply have to be inward routes. The outward route will be the main one from the Kong plane." As soon as Lin Mu said this, everything in Jing Luo's mind made sense.
Now it was Jing Luo's turn of feeling like a curtain on his mind was lifted.
"This… if we really managed to make it, then… this will be revolutionary!" Jing Luo exclaimed.
"Perhaps. But first, we need to figure out if it can really work or will it need some tweaks." Lin Mu stated.
"Of course. I can get started on it right away. As a prototype… I think I can establish a communication link between the Kong plane and our world." Jing Luo spoke.
"YES! That will be perfect. It will save us a lot of time and enhance the speed of response of people in the Kong plane. There are way too many things here that would be a waste to not make use of." Lin Mu replied.
"Very well. I'll get started on the first prototype and attach it to the Hong Lin Kingdom." Jing Luo spoke.
"Yes, and until you are done, I think we should get some response from Hua San and Hua Wu as well." Lin Mu agreed.
Jing Luo nodded his head and felt excited about the coming days. Even though there was the dread of the future danger, there was also the excitement of learning new things. The anticipation had started to itch his hand, and he quickly got to work.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLin Mu didn't slack off either and got to his own cultivation. He had yet to figure out what his Dao Shell was going to be like and needed to spend some time in figuring it out. He wanted to be as strong as possible when he was going to face Gu Yao.
'He should be at the Dao Shell realm at the very least by now. With the support and resources he is getting, even with his pace, he shouldn't be at the Dao Treading realm.' Lin Mu reckoned.
Time quickly went by as the three men spent their time growing in different ways. King Hong grew his cultivation base, Jing Luo furthered his proficiency with formations while Lin Mu comprehended how he wanted his Dao Shell's shape to be like.
Lin Mu would also make some trips to the Hong Lin place every twelve hours just to make sure there were no problems and to get any new news. So far, there has been nothing out of the ordinary and everything was progressing smoothly.
There were some tasks that were assigned to the ministers related to their kingdom and citizens and they were also progressing fluidly. The ministers themselves were cultivating, and some of them were already close to a breakthrough.
Just like this, an entire month passed.
During this time, King Hong's cultivation had risen once more, and he had reached the Adolescent soul stage of the Nascent Soul realm. This speed was outstanding and was even faster than Lin Mu if one compared the time needed.
Though the comparison wouldn't be fully accurate since the amount of spirit Qi needed by Lin Mu for a breakthrough was many times more than that of the average nascent soul realm cultivator.
And even if King Hong was not average and had a strong physique, it was still less spirit Qi than Lin Mu.
Jing Luo had some progress with the prototype as well and had finished the very first one. He had made a few trips with Lin Mu to the vault to gather materials and then to the place to make the prototype communication link.
After about ten days of struggle and tweaks, the first prototype was finally functional!
