Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 146 - 147: Activating the Teleportation Gate

Chapter 146: Chapter 147: Activating the Teleportation Gate

Chu Linfeng had asked the Golden Demon Vulture about the specific location of the western Teleportation Gate, approximately a hundred miles from here. If we move quickly, we should be able to reach it before nightfall.

Everyone was chatting and laughing along the way, volunteering to slay any Magical Beast encountered. We also met some students from Celestial Dragon Academy, whom Chu Linfeng wanted to invite into our team, but Tang Li and others stopped him.

The reason was simple, these people certainly don’t have enough Demon Crystals, and our Demon Crystals were earned with our blood, even costing the lives of several students. We couldn’t let others take advantage.

Chu Linfeng thought about it and agreed, it’s best not to let these people benefit from our efforts. Sometimes, compassion shouldn’t be misplaced.

The Golden Demon Vulture followed behind Chu Linfeng closely, while Xiaoying was released by Chu Linfeng and stood on its shoulder, curiously observing the unfamiliar surroundings.

"Old Jin, since there is a Teleportation Gate, why don’t you go out?" Chu Linfeng asked on the way, a question he’d been pondering for a long time.

"I also want to see the outside world, but unfortunately, the Teleportation Gate cannot transport me. Every time I enter, I am repelled by an invisible force, always suffering significant injuries, so I stopped trying." The Golden Demon Vulture replied helplessly.

Chu Linfeng felt puzzled, with the strength of the Golden Demon Vulture, it was surprising that it couldn’t pass through the Teleportation Gate. Could it be that there is some restriction, like how Celestial Dragon Academy’s Teleportation Gate only transports those below the Eighth Level of Earth Martial Realm?

"When we get there, I will take a look and hopefully help you leave this place." Chu Linfeng said, unable to provide a definite answer, just trying to comfort him.

By evening, the group arrived at the Teleportation Gate described by the Golden Demon Vulture, and Chu Linfeng found this gate indeed strange.

They could sense energy fluctuations from afar. The Teleportation Gate stood on an empty ground, surrounded by several stone pillars, each carved with words.

The words were crooked, definitely not from a single person. On both sides of the gate were two stone platforms covered with moss, evidently undisturbed for a long time.

Chu Linfeng prepared to look behind the gate. As soon as he stepped past the parallel positions beside the gate, an invisible force bounced him back, churning the blood in his chest.

"Lin Feng, are you alright?" Lin Ruoxi hurriedly approached to ask.

"I’m fine, this Teleportation Gate truly is peculiar, everyone be careful, do not randomly touch these stone pillars, and avoid crossing the parallel positions of this gate." Chu Linfeng warned the team immediately.

Given his present condition, the impact had churned his blood, others might get severely injured, this needed serious attention.

"Boss, look, there’s a way to enter the Teleportation Gate written on these stone pillars." A student shouted.

Upon hearing, Chu Linfeng ran over immediately, the inscriptions on the stone pillar were blurry but discernible, indicating to pass through the gate requires inserting fifty Demon Crystals, and only one person can be transported at a time.

Everyone knew that Demon Crystals were needed for teleportation, the problem was that there was no place to insert them. When they teleported from Celestial Dragon Academy, Dean Xu placed the Star Stone directly into the groove of the gate, yet this gate was bare, without any gaps.

Everyone was pondering this issue, Xue Jin Mountain approached the Teleportation Gate and stopped, closely examining the two moss-covered stone platforms before it.

"Big brother, be careful, absolutely do not get close to the Teleportation Gate!" Chu Linfeng shouted urgently, knowing that with Xue Jin Mountain’s current strength, severe injury was inevitable.

"It’s alright! I won’t get too close!" Xue Jin Mountain turned and said.

Everyone watched Xue Jin Mountain’s every move. Chu Linfeng didn’t step forward because he knew that Xue Jin Mountain was a Swordsmith, acquainted with the structure of stones given his constant dealings with ores.

After scrutinizing for a while, he seemed to discover something, and hurriedly cleaned the moss off one stone platform. Minutes later, Xue Jin Mountain excitedly called to Chu Linfeng:

"Lin Feng, come look, there’s something odd about this stone platform!"

Chu Linfeng hurriedly approached, finding that beneath the moss-covered stone platform was indeed a slightly raised button, not easy to notice at first glance.

So, Chu Linfeng went to the other stone platform quickly, removed the moss, and discovered a similar button, "Big brother, could these buttons be the mechanism of the stone platform?"

"Probably, but we don’t know if there’s danger involved, this Teleportation Gate is too unusual." Xue Jin Mountain glanced at Chu Linfeng and said.

"Lin Feng, this Teleportation Gate should be a low-level one, possibly built by your Celestial Dragon Academy or by people from Sea Dragon Academy. It’s just that after years of standing in the wilderness, exposed to the elements, the activation entry was hidden to prevent damage.

These two buttons should be the mechanism to activate the gate, I think you should let that big bird assist you in activation, in case any unexpected situations arise to prevent severe injury." The Sword Spirit commented, seemingly omnipresently knowledgeable.

Chu Linfeng analyzed further, finding the advice reasonable, and told Xue Jin Mountain: "Big brother, please step down, we don’t know if the buttons are dangerous, given your weaker strength, best to let Old Jin assist! Everyone else, retreat fifty meters!"

Chu Linfeng’s voice was clear to everyone, and the Golden Demon Vulture stepped forward, "Lin Feng, be careful!" Lin Ruoxi expressed concern as she left.

After exchanging a glance, the two placed their hands on the button, waiting for about a minute without any reaction.

Frowning, Chu Linfeng said, "Strange, why is there no response? Is this not the mechanism to activate the Teleportation Gate?"

The Golden Demon Vulture looked at Chu Linfeng in confusion, entirely unfamiliar with mechanisms and buttons.

"Lin Feng, try using Star Power, perhaps the button requires a certain amount of force to activate the switch." The Sword Spirit, an omnipresent source of advice, suggested immediately.

"Old Jin, use some Star Power and press the button again!" Chu Linfeng urgently instructed.

Once again, they pressed the button on the stone platform, Chu Linfeng channelled Star Power from his Dantian into his hand, and then something strange occurred.

Upon using Star Power, the button showed signs of rising, the more force applied, the more it protruded.

The same happened on the Golden Demon Vulture’s side, although the button here could no longer be called a button, it had protruded half a foot, like a small stone rod.

Chu Linfeng suddenly understood, "Old Jin, press down with force, as long as this stone rod is fully extracted, the Teleportation Gate’s restriction will be lifted."

The Golden Demon Vulture, being stronger than Chu Linfeng, found the stone rod protruding faster, and after several minutes, its stone rod stopped extending.

Suddenly, the Teleportation Gate began making loud noises, slowly revolving, halting halfway.

The distant group watched anxiously, not afraid of failing to return, but worried about Chu Linfeng’s safety.

"Old Jin, come help!" Chu Linfeng lacked the strength to fully extract the stone rod, calling out immediately.
