What If I Can't Die?
chapter-474

Vermilion Bird Palace, Teleportation Hall.

The silver-white Teleportation Array that was originally operating steadily suddenly trembled in the air. The intense spatial fluctuations made the Teleportation Hall shake.

The Silver Supreme Saint's expression changed. "What's going on? The teleportation array is unstable!"

He hurriedly activated a portion of the backup Array Formation Power. Amidst the rumbling sound, energy pillars shot out from all directions at the center of the array formation. The tremors in the hall slowly calmed down.

After stabilizing, he ordered, "Check the entire teleportation formation immediately. If there are any problems, repair it as soon as possible."

"Yes, Palace Masters!"

The surrounding cultivators began to get busy. They did not know that a fellow had deliberately exposed himself to the powerful spatial power released by the teleportation array and died again and again.

Every time he died, he would wait three seconds before being revived. It was as if a rock that did not run in sync had been mixed into the Teleportation channel, causing abnormal fluctuations into this 'machine'.

What was happening was that when he revived on the spot, the others had already teleported far away, so they did not notice that someone was missing.

On Supreme Saint Skysilver's side, Song Shi had caused this imbalance, causing the power consumption of the teleportation array to increase. The Array Formation was unstable, so he thought that there was a problem and was checking it suspiciously.

"What a good death!"

The instigator, Song Shi, who had died several times in a row, was in a good mood and continued to court death in the Teleportation passageway.

Cross-border Teleportation was the same as ordinary Teleportation. They both directly broke through deep space between two points. The difference was that the distance between the two points was too far, and the space they broke through was very deep, causing the spatial compression ratio to increase terrifyingly.

If the compression ratio of close-range Teleportation was 1:100, then the ratio of this kind of cross-border Teleportation could exceed 1:100,000. The power of space would also be one hundred thousand times stronger. Without the protection of the Teleportation Talisman, even a Mahayana cultivator might not be able to withstand it.

This benefited Song Shi. He died every few seconds. The scheduled fifteen minutes of Teleportation had passed. Everyone else had arrived at the Dian Cang Sword Sect, but he did not even make it halfway.

The other cultivators were not in the mood to pay attention to Song Shi. All of them were dizzy and felt that their Primordial Spirits were about to float out of their bodies. They were very uncomfortable.

"Urgh…"

Han Dade even took the lead to vomit. He had already abstained from eating, and there was nothing to vomit in his stomach. He could only vomit some bitter bile.

The others were originally planning on enduring the discomfort, but under the influence of this fellow, they also retched.

"Fellow Daoists, you can close your eyes and rest on the spot to adjust your state."

A kind reminder came from outside the Array Formation. Then, he exclaimed, "What's going on? Why isn't the teleportation array over yet? Who hasn't come over?"

A handsome man carrying a black sword box walked over and looked at Han Dade and the others in shock. "The Vermilion Bird Palace didn't say that there were many Teleportations, right? You haven't reached the upper limit of the teleportation formation, so you all didn't come together?"

Han Dade shook his head. "We only have one wave. I haven't heard of anyone else who wants to teleport here too."

Upon hearing this, the man carrying the sword case looked around and said in confusion, "The message said that eight fellow Daoists would come. Why is one missing?"

Han Dade was stunned and looked at each other with the others.

Yan Donghao frowned. "There's indeed one missing."

Han Dade echoed, "That's right, that's right. Fellow Daoist Song didn't come over. Did he fall behind?"

"Maybe he's dead."

Yan Donghao sneered. "He wasn't strong enough. His Primordial Spirit was probably unstable and his soul dissipated in the Teleportation passageway."

The man in the sword case denied, "That's not the case. Even if his Primordial Spirit is unstable, he will at most faint. Even if his soul is really destroyed, his corpse will be teleported over. The Array Formation is still operating now, which means that he's still inside."

"Is this normal?" Han Dade was curious.

"It's considered normal. The changes in space are very mysterious. A slight difference is a thousand miles. It's even more serious in cross-border Teleportation. Occasionally, when an Array Formation messes up, there will be inconsistent Teleportation."

The man in the sword case nodded. "Generally speaking, it won't be much different. Everyone, just restore yourselves. He should be here soon."

Yan Donghao was not interested in Song Shi's life and death. He was the first to sit cross-legged on the ground and adjust. The other cultivators did not care about the stranger they had just met and did the same.

As time passed, the light of the Array Formation continued to be maintained. The Dian Cang Sword Sect cultivators guarding the array gradually looked puzzled.

It wasn't like they hadn't encountered Teleportations that weren't synchronized before, but there shouldn't be such a huge difference, right?

"Sect Master, could it be that there's a problem with the Array Formation and he's lost midway?"

The First Elder in charge of the Array Formation walked over and whispered.

"Now that we've lost him, shouldn't the Array Formation stop?"

The man carrying the sword case, who was also the Dian Cang Sword Sect's sect master, Fu Yuhua, stroked his chin. "Wait a moment. I'll contact Vermilion Bird Palace."

He took out a token and sat cross-legged on the ground. He continuously formed hand seals and activated the token to communicate with the Vermilion Bird Palace.

A moment later, he frowned. "What the hell? There's no new Teleportation, and the array formation over there hasn't stopped. Could it be that this eighth fellow has been stuck in the Teleportation Channel?"

The First Elder shook his head. "That's impossible. Once the Teleportation channel is opened, it's equivalent to a rapid flow in one direction. You can only come over or be thrown out. How can you be stuck?"

"Then explain to me why the Array Formation hasn't stopped and why no one has appeared?"

Fu Yuhua shrugged and said angrily.

"Uh, I don't know either. I can't just go in and take a look. The compressed space in the Teleportation passageway can crush ordinary Numinous treasures."

The Great Elder smiled awkwardly.

"That's not a problem. It doesn't matter if he comes out or not. The key is that since he's stuck like this, he's consumed too many Spirit Stones!"
