Chapter 3082: Outrageous Transportation Cost

The Transporting Formation in Ax Mountain City was located inside a crescent-shaped building. Nine main halls in the building were also laid out in an arc to form a crescent shape. As such, the building had nine points of entry and exits that also served as entrances to the nine main halls. After leaving the city square, Ling Jue Yun looked at the crescent-shaped building and began to explain to Duan Ling Tian. “These nine halls are where the Transporting Formations in Ax Mountain City are located... Inside each hall, there are nine Transporting Formations that lead to nine specific Devata Realms. Therefore, there are 81 Transporting Formations that lead to 81 Devata Realms, including our Spirit Overarching Heaven, respectively.”

Although Duan Ling Tian had been staying in Ax Mountain City for more than 10 months, he had never been here. He was slightly puzzled when he heard Ling Jue Yun’s explanation. “Including our Spirit Overarching Heaven? We’re in the Spirit Overarching Heaven. What’s the point of having a Transporting Formation for the Spirit Overarching Heaven here?”

“Of course there is a point,” Ling Jue Yun said, “Those who come to Ax Mountain City can use it to go anywhere in the Spirit Overarching Heaven. As I’ve said before, it can only go to places in the territories of the Southern Heaven Territory’s Profound Nether Mansion.”

“Then, does this mean the Transporting Formation in other regions under other grade-six forces in the Southern Heaven Territory can also come here?” Duan Ling Tian asked as his eyes lit up.

“Of course.” Ling Jue Yun nodded. “However, there are only a few people who use the Transporting Formation. Even Celestial Lords wouldn’t be so wasteful. Moreover, with the speed of Celestial Lords, it won’t take them long to travel the entire Southern Heaven Territory, let alone traveling from one grade-six force to another in the Southern Heaven Territory.”

“Wasteful? Only a few people would use it?” Duan Ling Tian was further puzzled. “Does it require a lot of Celestial Crystals to use the Transporting Formation?”

“Of course,” Ling Jue Yun promptly replied, “It requires 100,000 prominent Celestial Crystals to activate the Transporting Formation each time... For this reason, regardless of your destination, the cost to activate the Formation is the same. That’s the basic consumption needed to activate the Transporting Formation. Additionally, a fee also has to be paid to the forces guarding the Transporting Formations. Take the Ax Mountain City’s Transporting Formation as an example, the Profound Nether Mansion will charge 10,000 prominent Celestial Crystals to use the Formation in the name of maintaining the Formation.”

Duan Ling Tian was incredibly shocked after listening to Ling Jue Yun’s explanation. “It takes 100,000 prominent Celestial Crystals to activate the Transporting Formation each time? On top of that, one has to pay the Profound Nether Mansion 10,000 prominent Celestial Crystals as a fee? This means everyone who wants to use the Transporting Formation has to pay 110,000 prominent Celestial Crystals!”

Although Duan Ling Tian had expected it would be costly to use the Transporting Formation, he did not expect the price to be so outrageously exorbitant.

110,000 prominent Celestial Crystals!

Ordinary King Grade Celestial Weapons would only cost 100,000 prominent Celestial Crystals. In certain popular places, 110,000 prominent Celestial Crystals were sufficient to buy a fairly good offensive King Grade Celestial Weapon!

“Well, it depends on how many people are being transported at once. If you’re traveling alone, then you’d have to pay 110,000 prominent Celestial Crystals. If there were two people being transported, each person would only need to pay 60,000 prominent Celestial Crystals,” Ling Jue Yun said, “No matter how many people are being transported, the activation cost for the Transporting Formation would always be prominent Celestial Crystals.”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened as he said, “So two people can be transported at the same time with the Transporting Formation?”

In that case, the cost was greatly reduced. When the cost was shared by two people, the 100,000 prominent Celestial Crystal activation fee could be split in two. That would mean each person would only have to pay 50,000 prominent Celestial Crystals for the activation of the Transporting Formation. Adding on the 10,000 prominent Celestial Crystals that each person had to pay to the Profound Nether Mansion, the cost for using the Transporting Formation when shared between two people was only 60,000 prominent Celestial Crystals.

“Yes.” Ling Jue Yun nodded.

“Can three be transported at once?” Duan Ling Tian asked again. If it was possible to transport three people at once, the cost would be reduced again. Each person would only have to pay less than 40,000 prominent Celestial Crystals.

“The Transporting Formation controlled by the Profound Nether Mansion can only transport two people at once. This is due to the limited ability of the person who set up the Transporting Formation,” Ling Jue Yun continued to explain to Duan Ling Tian, “There are more skilled masters in larger cities. The Transporting Formations there can transport three, four, or even more people at once. Similarly, each time the Formation is activated, it would require 100,000 prominent Celestial Crystals.”

Duan Ling Tian finally understood that the number of people the Transporting Formation could carry depended on the Formation master’s ability.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian suddenly thought about the three assassins from the Blood Skull Gang. ‘Apart from the fee, a Transporting Formation requires 100,000 prominent Celestial Crystals to be activated. Although the assassin could instantly arrive in the Profound Nether Mansion’s territories, they certainly wouldn’t have used a Transporting Formation since it’s so costly. Let alone the One Basic Celestial King and the Six Combos Celestial King, I think even the Nine Palaces Celestial King assassin wouldn’t use the Transporting Formation. Moreover, with his cultivation base, it wouldn’t take him long to arrive at his destination.’

Nine Palaces Celestial Kings were not only powerful, but they were fast as well. After experiencing the speed of a Celestial Lord from Sun Liang Peng’s Wind Shadow Escape Talisman, he had a good understanding of a Celestial Lord’s speed, and through that, a Nine Palaces Celestial King’s speed.

Although Duan Ling Tian had possessed the strength of a Celestial Lord twice in the past through his consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, his speed was nowhere close to that of a real Celestial Lord. In fact, his speed when under the effect of the consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon might be even slower than some powerful and extraordinary Celestial Kings. For instance, even if he used his consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, his speed would still be slower than the Nine Palaces Celestial King assassin from the Blood Skull Gang even if he was granted the strength of an ordinary Celestial Lord. This was because his comprehension level of the laws was not high enough.

“Many people will try to look for others to travel together so they can split the cost,” Ling Jue Yun said. When he finished speaking, they had already arrived at one of the main halls in the crescent-shaped building.

Ling Jue Yun looked at the main hall in front of them and said to Duan Ling Tian, “The Transporting Formation that will send us to the Jade Emperor Heaven is here.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded as he surveyed the hall before them. Unlike the extravagant decor he was used to, the main hall was simple and minimally decorated. It was very basic.

At this moment, many people could be seen milling around the entrance. Whenever there was a newcomer, some of these people would approach the newcomer to strike up a conversation.

“Brother, are you going to Mo Cloud Heaven? If you are, we can travel together... We can land at the place you want. How about that?” “Brother, where are you heading? We can travel together if you’re heading to the Dark Profound Heaven... If we’re going to the same place, you only have to pay 30,000 prominent Celestial Crystals, apart from the fee of 10,000 prominent Celestial Crystals. What do you think?”

“Sir, are you heading to the Surging Cloud Heaven?” Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun could hear similar conversations around them as they entered the hall. As soon as they entered the hall, no such conversation could be heard at all. Clearly, such behavior was banned in the hall.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian entered the hall, he began to survey his surroundings. He saw people standing with straight backs in every corner of the hall. They were old men and middle-aged men. All of them were dressed in dark green long robes that were embroidered with a cloud. The words ‘Profound Nether Mansion’ were embroidered in the cloud. Although they stood unmoving, their heads were constantly moving and looking around.

“I supposed these people are from the Profound Nether Mansion?” Duan Ling Tian asked Ling Jue Yun.

“Yes.” Ling Jue Yun nodded. “Usually, there are about twenty men from the Profound Nether Mansion in a hall... Nine of them are tasked with operating the Transporting Formation while the others are here to maintain order.”

With these words, it was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to figure out the ten men he had seen earlier were those who were tasked with maintaining order.

“They are the reason people are only looking for travel companions outside the hall, near the entrance. They have rules in here,” Ling Jue Yun explained, “If you do that in here, you’ll be chased out by those men from the Profound Nether Mansion. Moreover, you’re banned from coming here for a year. If you need to use a Transporting Formation during that time, you’ll have to go to another place.”

Ling Jue Yun’s words confirmed Duan Ling Tian’s suspicion that such behavior was prohibited in the main halls.
