Chapter 7765
When Charlie began to speculate that Vera's ring belonged to this place, he suddenly remembered the one function he knew it had.Other functions aside, he knew for sure that once the ring acknowledged an owner, the ring would teleport the owner during his dire moments to the person at the forefront of their mind.In other words, it was meant to save lives—even if one was dying, it would at least grant them the opportunity to see their loved ones one last time.With those speculations in mind, if there really were cultivators laboring like worker ants to scrounge up cultivation materials from across the globe, it was necessary for each person to have such a ring.After all, scouting for such precious resources was itself a risky task. Other cultivators might hunt them down, and with the ring, flight was always an option if fight proved vain—a fail-safe for every cultivator dispatched.And that might be why the ring's serial number couldn't be seen outside the subterranean city, but

However, the spirit stones were a non-recyclable resource, and competition would have been fierce with the Degenerate Age of Dharma. Those nine portals might be routes that the ancient cultivators used to travel around the world to gather spirit stones, and judging from how they labored to move everything they could to the South Pole, they chose to migrate following the Degenerate Age of Dharma.They had to create a utopia for cultivators, as burning through resources that could match a nation's treasury as they attempted to stave off the decline brought about by the Degenerate Age of Dharma.If Charlie's theory held sway, that meant they were searching for spirit stones across the globe before—or even after—they migrated to the South Pole. They needed a ton of them both to maintain the wards keeping the city portals alive, as well as meet the needs of the thousands of cultivators.That was the most logical explanation of the portal, and Charlie could imagine it in his mind already.
Chapter 7763
To ensure the ancient cultivators' plan in setting up all the different portals, Charlie solemnly examined the clues.He needed to confirm one thing—the portal required copious amounts of Reiki to run, just as each time Vera's ring teleported him. It needed all the Reiki it drained from him up until that point.Moreover, even knowing each teleportation burned through a lot of Reiki, he still couldn't be sure that the distance of teleportation affected the amount of Reiki used. If it were a case-by-case basis, then intercontinental teleportation needed more than several times the amount of Reiki he used to teleport from the Champs Elys Resort to the Scarlet Pinnacle Manor.There was also the issue that thousands of ancient cultivators must have used those portals freely every day, which means they must have been used thousands of times every day… The volume of Reiki required could well drain the planet dry.That alone meant the cost of building and maintaining the portals was astron

Charlie thought that since Aurous Hill was east of Crane's Cry, he could try to see how far the portal to the east was from Aurous Hill.Hence, he didn't wait; he moved to the east-side portal and thought of the mental incantation for it.Golden light flashed, and when he opened his eyes again, he was once again within an artificial cave.He stepped out and saw that it was once again daytime in the middle of a springtime forest. The only difference is that the geographical features meant it wasn't Hearth's Cry, and the hills didn't look Oskian—more volcanic.Charlie hence whipped out his satellite phone and checked the GPS locator to see that he was on Mount Ontake, Japan.It was one of the nation's holy mountains and a religious spot, and the origin of Shintoism.Charlie hence wondered why those ancient cultivators would build a portal in Japan… Unless it was where they were active too?After all, he was under the impression that all portals led to Oskia, only for the portal to
Chapter 7761
Charlie quickly passed through the cavern chamber and the tunnel, and soon found the cavern entrance.It must be daytime as it was really bright outside, and the warmth meant it couldn't have been the South Pole. As Charlie approached the cave entrance, he suddenly recalled the embarrassing scene of being teleported by Vera's ring for the first time. He immediately looked down at himself, and was relieved that things were different now. The first time the ring teleported him, Coldie's self-destruction had ripped his clothes to shreds, leaving him completely naked when he teleported to Vera's side. This time, not compelled by danger to teleport, even his clothes and belongings were sent here with him. If anything, after his bloody battle with Barlin, his clothes were a little shredded by Barlin's Infinite Sword technique. Along with all the cuts and gashes, he was quite the gruesome sight, so he thought to himself that it would be best to stay away from other people in case he

Charlie himself had been to many cultivator temples, but not one had such vivid sculptures. After all, everything from posture, facial features, facial expression, down to their limbs was sculpted to perfection. They looked more real than the person, projecting both authority and compassion as if they really were smiling at Charlie.Charlie had no idea how Buddhism was linked to Daoism, and he himself leaned toward cultivator legacies that he inherited. So in his heart, the Trinity were his progenitor mentors, which was why he bowed in front of all three statues piously before he left.However, just as he was about to leave, a circle shimmering with golden light and inscribed with numerous runes suddenly appeared beneath his feet. As the circle flashed, its golden light illuminating Charlie's body intensified, and it became blinding. Suddenly, Charlie could no longer see himself, only the golden light.In an instant, Charlie suddenly felt as if his body had been instantly draine
