Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

218  Teleportation Array: Coordinates or the other Continents

"It's time to meet that old fellow again. I need to get those teleportation Array Techniques," Arthur muttered to himself and rubbed an intricate silver ring.

It was the very same ring that Suo Hao gave to him in the past.

Right now Arthur is in his place in the academy and to the outside world he is in seclusion to prepare for the Grand Martial Arts Tournament which is coming up in three months.

'I will be 17 by then,' Arthur thought.

So far it's been two whole years since he left the Empire to find a way to break the seal that was preventing him from cultivating.

It was there, in Blue Crystal City that he encountered Luke and subsequently Suo Hao.

Also, the so-called Beard Gang Duo.

'But more importantly, Kaiser and the other two. The Trio should have succeeded with what I want by now.'

That's right.

The very same trio that once tried to rob back then. He had given them a task and a lot of resources for their cultivation even with their lack of talent they had become powerful figures.

Arthur has a plan.

Previously he was raising forces just so that he could laze about some things in the future and have fun.

But after awakening his past life memories and learning that he was the Great Mortal Emperor and how the Sovereign Dao is the way forward he knows that what he did on a whim will become a key point in his plan now.

"Anyway, time to meet them again."

*Swoosh!*

Arthur disappeared from where he stood. This time it was not because he entered an inner world.

He was simply teleported.

In the heart of a mystical hall, lit with an otherworldly glow, Arthur materialized through the teleportation ring.

The air hummed with ancient energies, and the ambience seemed to vibrate with the knowledge of ages.

The hall was wide and round. It had nine pillars at the centre, forming a circle around what Arthur assumes to be an altar.

Like before, everything here was also covered in runic symbols.

From the walls to the pillars, most especially the altar, which had the most runes engraved on it.

An almost invisible veil of light surrounded the altar with the circle formed by the pillars.

And on that altar, lay the same young boy that looked to be of the same age as Arthur. The boy had silver hair and looked just as pale.

'I can sense it now. This kid is just like Freya,' Arthur thought.

At this time, a presence emerged from the shadows — Suo Hao, the soul remnant, greeted him.

"Arthur, it's been a while," Suo Hao's ethereal voice echoed through the hall.

A nod of acknowledgement came from Arthur. "Indeed, Senior. It's been two whole years now."

Suo Hao's gaze scrutinized Arthur, sensing the profound changes in his cultivation he was shocked.

"Wait a minute, you are at the Half-Step Martial Emperor Realm already?!"

Arthur only smiled in response.

"How did you do it? Wait is it your bloodlines are they so powerful?"

"What are you saying senior, I just cultivate like everyone else," Arthur laughed.

"Yeah, like everyone else indeed. Do you even know how long it takes the geniuses of the upper realm to go from nothing to your current level?"

"No why?"

"Seven years! Seven good years and those are the upper realm geniuses with access to greater resources, higher level immortal essence and stronger Martial Spirits."

"Moreover this doesn't even talk about those of average or low talent. Kid, at this point, there's nothing else you can tell me. You, my friend, are the greatest talented freak I have seen."

"Woah, slow down. Aren't immortal seniors like you supposed to be always composed?" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Kid, I'm already dead."

"Yeah, right. Sorry."

"Now worries. Anyway, you've grown stronger, and there's an air of mastery about you. Have you delved into the runes as I advised?"

A confident smile played on Arthur's lips. "More than delved, I've mastered all you gave me. Let me show you."

With a flick of his wrist, Arthur conjured intricate Tier 5 runes in the air. They hovered, emitting a radiant glow that seemed to dance with a life of its own.

Suo Hao's spectral form widened with astonishment. "Tier 5 runes? It hasn't even been two years since I gave you the rune book. Your progress is too fast."

Suo Hao controlled his shock better this time, 'How can someone be so freakish? What then was my pride back then as the most talented of my immortal clan.'

"Hm, the fact that you could cultivate to your current level and still make time to learn runes to this level...tch!"

Arthur nodded appreciatively. "Your guidance was invaluable. You didn't just give instructions, but you also detailedly explained everything and shared all your experience, thoughts, and ideas."

Suo Hao considered Arthur for a moment, his ghostly form deep in thought. "You're ready for the complete clan inheritance. Much more earlier than expected."

"Your clan inheritance?"

"Thank you, Senior," Arthur expressed his gratitude.

Suo Hao's form seemed to shimmer with satisfaction. "You've earned it. Now, there's one more gift for you."

"Yes, this contains the knowledge of runes up to the immortal level. It contains the full legacy of my lost clan."

"Why are you giving it to me?" Arthur asked even though he guessed the answer.

Suo Hao smiled slightly and turned to look at the face of his son.

"Our Suo Divine Clan has a rule, never to teach outsiders our techniques. But almost everyone now is dead and my son is the only one alive."

"My people are already dead. So what makes the rules to still be alive?"

"I understand," Arthur nodded.

'Another benefit,' Arthur thought.

Suo Hao then explained to Arthur that the teleportation array techniques that are beyond this realm can be learnt from the Sixth Level Rune Technique and above.

Although Arthur will only be able to achieve short-distance teleportation for now.

'Which means I can't use it to teleport to the other continents ahead of time,' Arthur thought.

'This is an obstacle. The Nine Heavens Palace isn't as powerful as it was. Hence I travel through the sea as the way is too perilous and any mishap can occur.'

After some talk, Suo Hao transmitted the vast repository of rune wisdom directly into Arthur's consciousness.

It was as if an ancient library unfolded within Arthur's mind, revealing the intricate patterns and secrets of higher-level runes.

"Thank you, Senior," Arthur expressed his gratitude.

Suo Hao's form seemed to shimmer with satisfaction. "You've earned it. Now, there's one more gift for you."

A conjured rune shimmered in Suo Hao's hands, gradually forming into a translucent ship.

"This is a teleportation ship, capable of traversing vast distances. It holds the coordinates of the other continents," Suo Hao explained.

Arthur's eyes widened a bit, "You mean?"

"Yes, it can teleport to the other continents as long as..."
