The Eastern Sea Dragon King smiled and said, "Qingfeng Li, I hear that you're about to activate the ancient teleportation array in the Arctic and leave for other planets. I want you to do me a favor. Take two of my people along with you. Is that alright with you?"

Hearing the Eastern Sea Dragon King's words, Qingfeng Li shook his head. "There is a limit to how many people the Crimson Fire Array can carry," he said. "We've already got enough people and can't bring any more. Otherwise, the array wouldn't be able to withstand it."

The Eastern Sea Dragon King paused in thought, furrowing his brow. Then, he spoke. "I can provide you with a monarch grade vitality stone. Then you can take two more people with you."

At first, Qingfeng Li didn't want to agree and was about to refuse.

However, the Eastern Sea Dragon King stood in his way and Qingfeng Li was in a hurry to leave for Mars. He needed to find Ruyan Liu and Little Apple and didn't want to waste time here. So finally, he agreed to the Eastern Sea Dragon King's request. In exchange for a monarch grade vitality stone, he would bring the Eastern Sea Prince and Third Princess with him.

As for the Second Princess, the Eastern Sea Dragon King didn't intend for her to go to the other planets. She was to remain with him.

"Third Princess, we meet again," Qingfeng Li said when he saw Third Princess. His voice carried a hint of delight.

Seeming to catch the teasing tone in Qingfeng Li's voice, the Third Princess's pretty face flushed red. She turned her head away, not daring to look at Qingfeng Li.

The Third Princess realized that, every time she saw Qingfeng Li, he would begin teasing her. But she couldn't win in a match of strength either. Unable to win in either a physical or verbal fight, all she could do was to ignore him.

Beside Qingfeng Li, Xue Lin reached out two fingers and pinched his arm, warning him not to talk to other women.

Sighing, Qingfeng Li could only shut his mouth. With Xue Lin beside him, he couldn't even tease the Third Princess.

The group boarded the aircraft and flew toward the ancient teleportation array in the Arctic.

When they had traveled about halfway, they landed the aircraft on a passenger ship, continueing their journey toward the Arctic on the ship. In front of them, there were towering ice floes. The helicopter couldn't fly over them, so they had to rely on a specialized boat.

This icebreaker was constructed according to the design of a warship. It was a very powerful ship, its exterior completely covered in titanium plating. It could brave the harshest of conditions, and break apart even the toughest ice floes, reducing them to fragments that quickly melted into the saltwater.

The icebreaker travelled quickly, it only took a short while for them to reach the ancient teleportation array in the Arctic.

This was the second time Qingfeng Li had been here. However, looking at the massive transportation array, he still felt a wave of awe.

The transportation array was immense, spanning tens of thousands of square kilometers. It was an ancient thing, etched with talisman scriptures from the ancient era.

These talisman scriptures were dimensional array talisman scriptures, and Qingfeng Li didn't recognize them.

"Senior," using voice transmission, Qingfeng Li spoke to Dark Night Emperor. "Please help me activate the Crimson Fire Array."

Dark Night Emperor nodded, flying straight from his sword.

Dark Night Emperor was an ancient saint, and an array specialist at that. He was a master of arrays, and so he was naturally able to decrypt the mere monarch grade array before them.

Taking the monarch grade vitality stone from Qingfeng Li, Dark Night Emperor threw each of the vitality stones toward one of the six points on the Crimson Fire Array.

When each point held a monarch grade vitality stone, Dark Night Emperor uttered an array chant. The words formed a stream of tadpole-shaped words.

These were Monarch grade Array talisman scriptures, and once they've entered the Crimson Fire Array, a bright light radiated from the formation and formed a massive black interspatial tunnel.

"Qingfeng Li, you guys hurry inside," Dark Night Emperor instructed. "Be careful. Once you enter the Crimson Fire Array, you will see other planets. Under no circumstances are you to reach out and touch them, or you will be in danger." With that, he morphed into a beam of black light and flew back into Qingfeng Li's sword.

Right now, Dark Night Emperor was just a spirit. In plain terms, he was a soul fragment. He could not enter the Crimson Fire Array himself.

This was because there was spatial turbulence within such a powerful array. If it were to come into contact with Dark Night Emperor, his soul would be torn to shreds. If that were to happen, he would be unable to find a new body, or even to reincarnate.

Qingfeng Li nodded. Taking Xue Lin's hand, he lifted his right foot and led the way into the Crimson Fire Array.

Qingfeng Li was afraid of getting separated from Xue Lin, so he held onto her hand, just in case.

Seeing this, Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake followed closely behind Qingfeng Li in order to prevent getting separated from him.

Behind them were the Fate Elder, Qixuan Zhenren, the Eastern Sea Prince, and the Third Princess.

One by one, these people entered the array. When all of them had went through, the Crimson Fire Array slowly closed.

Qingfeng Li felt darkness cover his eyes. Then, he was in a mysterious space.

This space had a powerful pulling force, drawing Qingfeng Li and Xue Lin forward into the unknown.

This was a pitch black passageway filled with a unnameable power.

Through the outer walls of the tunnel, Qingfeng Li could clearly see other planets. He was even able to see the Earth he was leaving behind.

The Earth was an azure planet. Beneath the atmosphere, there were landmasses and oceans. It was beautiful.

Qingfeng Li knew that, when he left Earth today, he would never be able to return. Not unless he was able to reach the saint or immortal level first. Only then would he be able to open a tunnel through the Universe and return to Earth.

This was a law of the universe: going from lower planes to higher ones was easy, but to return to a lower plane from a higher one was extremely difficult.

After a moment, Qingfeng Li was no longer able to see Earth as it had disappeared from the interspatial tunnel.

To either side of Qingfeng Li, there appeared more than a few dozen other planets.

These planets were of all colors: white, green, blue, black, and any other color imaginable. Most of these were low and mid-tier planets.

These planets were the stars in the sky that Qingfeng Li had once seen from Earth. But now, they were much closer, so close that it was as if they were brushing by them as they passed.

Through the interspatial tunnel and the spatial array, the Crimson Fire Array linked Earth, the low-tier planet, directly to the top-tier Mars.

Mars held dominion over hundreds of planets. It was the most powerful Top Tier Planet near the Milky Way Galaxy. It was very far from Earth, so much so that a space ship would take more than a lifetime to travel between the two. Only through these ancient continent's teleportation array could it be reached.

When they first entered the array, Xue Lin was still a little curious. Her bright eyes looked this way and that, all around them. She even wanted to reach out and touch the transparent walls that the array had cast around them.

But Qingfeng Li quickly caught her hand before she made contact.

Qingfeng Li told her that these array tunnels were linked to all kinds of unknowable places. They couldn't touch it willy-nilly. Otherwise, they could be transported to some other planet.
