Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill-Chapter 379 - 11 Completion of the Space Transmission Array

Unlimited Qiankun had broken through four times, deepening the knowledge Wang Sheng gained from the first and third breakthroughs. He now had a more profound understanding of both space movement and storage space.

Then there was the matter of arrays. Though the level eight array had not yet reached a breakthrough, it was still extremely powerful. At least, the array knowledge he had developed had peaked. He could set up arrays with ease, having upgraded the arrays of Qingshan Village several times.

He had also incorporated trapping arrays and illusion arrays into his designs, though Wang Sheng could not yet combine these arrays effectively—typically, it was one array layered on another.

To the untrained eye, it might seem like several effects were running concurrently, but in reality, they were operating independently.

Wang Sheng was not in a hurry. He had not yet reached level nine, and even after he did, there were still breakthroughs to make—he was bound to progress eventually.

This time, after Unlimited Qiankun, Wang Sheng gained even more spatial knowledge.

Thus, he thought of combining two things.

The teleportation array, theoretically also a type of array, essentially used Heaven and Earth's space rules for spatial movement.

To achieve this was clearly going to require the person setting up the teleportation array to be well-versed in spatial knowledge—or to say, researching spatial arrays necessitated mastering both arrays and space completely.

Once the method to set up the teleportation array was fixed into a standard formula,

for example with a maze array, Wang Sheng only had to instruct Yue on the setup, and even without understanding the underlying principles, Yue could still manage it.

Simply put, it was like telling someone to use a formula, and then fitting the formula into the setup.

Because the purpose of such formulas was naturally to leverage Heaven and Earth's space rules.

Thus, the hardest part was converting the method to set up space into a formula, making it into an array.

In short, an array really was a "formula" that could utilize the laws of Heaven and Earth.

And now, Wang Sheng could do just that.

Whether it was spatial knowledge or arrays, he understood them both.

Thus, he made this task possible.

"Let's give it a try."

So, Wang Sheng entered seclusion once again.

"The key is to combine the two, starting with utilizing the spatial knowledge from Qiankun to see if a space transmission channel can be opened... If it's possible to open one, it means the space rules allow for such transmission channels to exist."

Wang Sheng's current arrays worked by exploiting existing forces, so they had to negate the space's operational laws to convert them into array formulas, that is, the formulas to open space channels.

Thus, his first step was to try opening and closing space channels.

Having broken through Unlimited Qiankun four times, his control over space was profoundly powerful. Instant teleportation and the like were readily at his disposal. However, formally opening a space channel was still a first for him.

Fortunately, both were fundamentally similar, involving movement within space, so for Wang Sheng, although it required some research, it was not a troublesome task.

Soon, he was tearing open space by following the sensation of instant teleportation and using his own power.

After the space was torn open, it was as if he had entered a different world—a world of nothing but dark silence. However, one should not underestimate this calm darkness; if someone who didn't understand the use of space fell into it, they would be instantly destroyed.

Only by moving along the spatial trajectory could one teleport in the real world.

To Wang Sheng, who was accustomed to instant teleportation, there was nothing particularly unusual about this. He moved through this space unharmed, as if strolling leisurely.

"Indeed, only through such experiences can one gain a clearer understanding of the laws of space movement, to make more accurate assessments."

As he moved forward, Wang Sheng also sensed the laws around him, noting everything in his mind.

It wasn't long before Wang Sheng emerged from the gap in space.

"That should do it. What needed to be understood is understood. The spatial array is feasible."

As long as there were laws, he could convert these laws into arrays.

Returning to his place of seclusion, Wang Sheng spent some time integrating and setting up his work.

This step didn't take long, just a few months' time, though it now was the year 563 in the Great Zhou calendar.

"It's finally finished!"

He had finally incorporated the laws of using space for movement into his arrays, converting these methods into formulas.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

"Unfortunately, due to limited expertise, the distance of movement achieved by the formulas is not as large as imagined."

It is difficult for one to surpass their own understanding.

Wang Sheng's own range of instant teleportation wasn't particularly extensive, so when incorporating these laws into the arrays, he could only follow his own understanding.

"I estimate the teleportation range should be within eight hundred li."

In reality, his distance of instant teleportation was nowhere near that long, but spatial transmission was ultimately different from instantaneous movement, which is why he had estimated these distances.

"Let's try setting it up first to see if it works before asking someone to test it."

Space movement carried risks, and he needed to test it himself to be reassured.

Setting up a spatial array required precise coordinates.

After completing the first location, he connected it to the second—

Soon, Wang Sheng had set up both locations.

This time, the test covered eight hundred li, directly at the theoretical maximum distance.

However, once Wang Sheng had covered five hundred li, he sensed something was off. The space felt unstable: "The array seems about to collapse…"

Without any hesitation, he instantly teleported out.

Boom!

It seemed as though something in the void was collapsing, and Wang Sheng knew it was the spatial transmission array he had set up.

When he returned to the array setup site, he found the array destroyed, unable to be used a second time.

"It seems that for the spatial transmission array I know, the maximum reliable transmission distance is five hundred li. To be safe, setting it at four hundred fifty li would be the safest…"

Thinking this, Wang Sheng sighed.

"Though it is much further than the range of instant teleportation, it's not particularly practical for me!"

A distance of four hundred li could be covered almost instantaneously by his Sword Flight, making the teleportation array somewhat superfluous in such cases.

"Indeed, teleportation arrays really need to manage extremely long distances to be of significant value. Otherwise, they don't hold much importance for the powerful."

Short-distance teleportation is not highly valuable.

Only those ultra-long distances, like interstellar jumps, can truly demonstrate the effects of teleportation arrays to their fullest.

"Let's set up one in Qingshan Village first for testing, then gradually perfect it based on the usage... By that time, both the array and Qiankun's progress could be enhanced, and it could also facilitate the residents of Qingshan Village."

After all, even for a Great Grandmaster, a distance of over four hundred li isn't considered close.

But Wang Sheng, often shocking the world with his actions, completely underestimated the impact spatial transmission arrays would have on others…

(I stayed up writing until four in the morning yesterday, and I got up at seven today to take a ride to Chengdu. I'm exhausted, managed to write 2000 words to explain the spatial transmission array, as this will be a very important setup for later parts, but I can't write more today. Updates will resume tomorrow… Some setups will also slowly unfold.)
