Chapter 51: Departure to Ruins!
But he didn't have time to delay any further, and hurriedly shouted, "I know where the Ten Ice World is, I can take you there!"
As soon as he said that, before Tang Sanzang could speak, Baishe Nu started scolding him, "Feng Tu, are you even speaking human language?"
Feng Tu looked up and said, "I learned from you! You are a 'fellow doomed, not me doomed.' I'm just throwing caution to the wind—if I'm dying, we're dying together!"
"You..."
Tang Sanzang slapped Baishe Nu aside, "Stop shouting, I think he's still of some use."
Then Tang Sanzang clapped his hands and declared, "That's settled then, first go find this Seven Stars Beetle!"
Feng Tu turned dark, coughed dryly, and corrected, "Seven Stars Saint..."
"Beetle!" Tang Sanzang firmly corrected back.
"Saint..." Feng Tu persisted reluctantly, a final display of respect for his master.
But Tang Sanzang's gaze grew even sharper, word by word, he said, "Beetle!"
Feng Tu, feeling creeped out by the stare, still said, "Saint."
Tang Sanzang frowned, "Suddenly I feel like going to the Ten Ice World isn't so important anymore..."
"Beetle!" Feng Tu quickly shouted.
Indeed, when comparing the trivial with their lives, the latter was more important.
Tang Sanzang smiled satisfactorily...
Seeing this, Baishe Nu also smiled, giving Feng Tu a mocking look as if to say, "How embarrassing!"
Just then, the bald man turned to her, "That one in your family is a woman, right?"
With Feng Tu as an example, Baishe Nu didn't bother arguing with the bald man and simply nodded in agreement.
Tang Sanzang clapped his hands, "We're in need of a suitable maid, so she'll do!"
Hearing this, Baishe Nu was speechless. Catch a Saint to be a maid?
Such a crazy idea, probably only this bald guy would dare to think of it, right?
"One made into a ball when killed, another as a maid to help me handle the ball, that sounds good, let's do it!" Tang Sanzang was exceedingly happy with his decision, then looked at the two and said, "What are you staring at? Lead the way, let's go find the beetle first!"
Baishe Nu dared not delay, but also felt somewhat troubled as she said, "Senior, to go to the Seven Stars World, we first need to leave the Pan Gu World and enter Chaos. To traverse Chaos without the protection of a Saint, we can't make it... You just obliterated our Saint Talismans, so now, getting out depends on you. The most we can do is show the way..."
Tang Sanzang was dumbfounded, relying on him?
He didn't possess any Divine Skills, and although he knew the principle of leaving the Pan Gu World—just barrage it fiercely, smashing through layer after layer of world barriers without losing their way and they would eventually get out.
But what about after they got out? He didn't have the power to protect these people.
Baishe Nu asked, "Senior, is there any problem?"
Tang Sanzang, embarrassed to admit his inability, simply gritted his teeth and said, "Uh... no problem, let's... you lead me into Chaos first."
Baishe Nu looked at Tang Sanzang skeptically.
Tang Sanzang immediately glared back, "What are you gawking at? I'm just asking you to be useful, that's all! If you're completely useless, I'll flatten you all and feed you to the pigs!"
Baishe Nu dared not doubt further and earnestly began to draw the Formation, and as she etched rune after rune into the void and threw numerous rare treasures into it, soon, a large teleportation array was completed.
Tang Sanzang couldn't make heads or tails of the thing and didn't want to ask outright, so he kicked Zhu Ganglie instead.
Zhu Ganglie got it instantly, cleared his throat, and asked, "Eh, this teleportation array, it can't transport us out of this world, can it?"
Miss Bai nodded and said, "The Pan Gu world was forged from the great god Pan Gu's spirit, energy, and physical body, making it exceptionally tough. Even a Saint cannot break through the void on the spot and leave; the only passage in and out of the Pan Gu world is through Gui Xu. My teleportation Formation is for teleporting to Gui Xu..."
Speaking this, Miss Bai hesitated and looked towards Tang Sanzang.
Tang Sanzang said, "Speak plainly and quickly, don't waste time, I'm in a rush to deal with beetle matters."
Miss Bai replied, "There are Guardians on the Gui Xu side, and you might encounter troubles if you go." Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire
Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang's eyes lit up, "Are the Guardians formidable?"
Miss Bai replied, "Compared to me and Feng Tu, they are only stronger, not weaker. Each world has people guarding its own teleportation Formation..."
Tang Sanzang nonchalantly said, "So, that's like having no one... Hmm, right, how about other worlds, do you know how to get to them?"
Miss Bai and Feng Tu shook their heads and said, "We mostly travel between our two worlds, so we know the location of each other's world. We're not sure about the other worlds..."
Tang Sanzang felt disappointed, but he didn't notice that the expressions of Feng Tu and Miss Bai flickered slightly, clearly indicating that Miss Bai and Feng Tu had lied.
"Snap! Right, you said that each world's portal has Guardians, right?" Tang Sanzang suddenly asked.
Both unconsciously nodded.
Tang Sanzang laughed happily, "Then there's no problem... Let's go, set off! I'm going to pull off a big job!"
Miss Bai and Feng Tu both had a bad feeling, fearing that this bald man's departure might turn the worlds upside down.
However, there was also a cold light flickering in their eyes, for how could such an important world portal only have ordinary Guardians? There must be Saints guarding it!
Whether this bald man could return alive from Gui Xu was still in question.
Thinking this, their lips slightly curled upwards.
Miss Bai urged even more, "Let's hurry, the Formation won't hold much longer."
Tang Sanzang cheerfully called to Zhu Ganglie holding Tang Caiyi to step onto the teleportation Formation, and with Miss Bai activating the Formation, the next moment a brilliant light soared into the sky, a portal opened in the heavens, and the light rushed into the portal and disappeared.
Afterward, the teleportation Formation at the original spot faded back to dimness, floating in the cosmos...
Clearly, Miss Bai had lied again; the teleportation Formation could last much longer than that moment.
...
Meanwhile, in the depths of the starry sky, an enormous dark funnel hung in the cosmos.
This was an endlessly sinking funnel, with no one knowing the deepest point of the funnel, visible only as a vast, black funnel whose inner walls held ancient cities and even some minor worlds!
The outer periphery of the funnel floated densely packed teleportation Formations, each manned by someone sitting guard.
These teleportation Formations belonged to different worlds, and the Guardians were all different too.
However, floating above the center of the funnel was a small island, lush with flowers and plants, birds and beasts singing, mountains and flowing waters, and lakes dotting the landscape...
In the center of the island, a brilliance soared into the sky, which was a divine light!
People knew that the source of this divine light was a small hut on the island, where a Saint resided.
As long as the divine light shone, the Saint was present, and with the Saint present, they had nothing to fear!
Just then, the Ten Ice World's teleportation Formation lit up smoothly, and the woman guarding the Ten Ice World's teleportation Formation slowly opened her eyes.
Right then, five people emerged from the light, three men, one woman, and one little girl.
The lead woman she recognized and immediately said, "Miss Bai, how come you have time to come back? Did you bring any souvenirs or local specialties for your senior sister?"
