From Celestial Official to Great Celestial Venerable

Chapter 66 Good Fortune
On that day, the furnace displayed the message "refining interrupted," and the subsequent mastery of talismanic arts and space teleportation runes rushed into Qin Chuan's sea of ​​consciousness like a torrent.

[Second-Order Talisman Mastery]

[Equivalent to the talismanic realm of a Foundation Establishment stage talisman master]

……

[Spatial Runes]

Each one is a symbol containing spatial principles, originating from a small-scale spatial teleportation array. Due to the lack of the other half of the runes, it cannot be arranged into a large-scale teleportation array, but it can be recombined into a new spatial teleportation method.

……

The furnace displayed what it had extracted that day.

That was an exquisite and profound understanding of spatial laws, far beyond what a Qi Refining cultivator like him could withstand in an instant.

When Master Xuanji called him to disembark, he instinctively followed, but his mind was in a daze, as if he had caught a severe cold and was absent-minded.

“This child…” Master Xuanji frowned slightly, “Could it be that this is his first time experiencing such a long journey across cave heavens, and he is having difficulty adapting to the stable space?”

This situation is not uncommon, much like how farmers on land, when first venturing into the vast ocean, inevitably suffer from seasickness due to prolonged turbulence.

Without saying anything more, he gently patted Qin Chuan's shoulder, channeled a gentle and peaceful Five Elements magic power into him, and led the dazed boy forward.

As soon as the old man and the young man stepped out of Zhenshui Station, they were greeted by a group of people—five elders and five young cultivators. The elder in the lead greeted them with a hearty laugh, "Old Xuan," while the young cultivators' gazes all fell on Qin Chuan, who was standing behind Xuanji Zhenren.

One of the young female cultivators looked at Qin Chuan with a particularly complex gaze, tinged with hidden hostility.

The reason was simple: this spot, which should have belonged to the Xiaoxiang Cave Heaven Academy, was taken by Sun Qinghan for Jiuchuan out of personal favor. As a result, a talented student in the academy who had already met the requirements lost his qualification for this training trip.

Some of the young monks felt indignant.

No matter how they tried to probe him with their eyes, Qin Chuan remained silent, following behind Xuanji Zhenren without looking to the side, his expression even somewhat wooden, as if he was completely unaware of their provocation.

This reaction left the young people who wanted to cause trouble speechless, like punches landing on cotton wool, with nowhere to strike.

Even later, when several celestial officials from the Xiaoxiang Daoist Temple presided over the oath-taking ceremony before departing from heaven, Qin Chuan remained silent.

"Could it be... a mentally challenged child?" Yuan Siyao, the academy's prodigy, frowned inwardly. The thought that such a precious spot had fallen into the hands of such a person made her feel even more indignant for her senior brother in the academy who had missed out on the opportunity.

Another female cultivator from the academy, however, had a glimmer of hope: to be able to secure a spot under such circumstances, this person must have an extraordinary background. Perhaps we could find an opportunity to befriend them during this trip.

All living beings have their own thoughts and feelings.

It wasn't until late at night that Master Xuanji and his party settled down at an inn near Zhenshui Station.

When Qin Chuan was the only one left in the room, his confused mind finally regained some clarity.

During the day, he was like an empty shell, barely able to move his body.

The spatial principles surging in his mind were too profound and complex, forcing him to devote 99% of his attention to integrating and understanding them.

The feeling was as if someone had suddenly inserted the entire process of solving a mathematical conjecture into his mind—he knew the steps, but he still needed to re-enact them in his consciousness.

This involves the principles of spatial teleportation. Even with only half of the runes, its profound mystery far surpasses that of human mathematics.

Fortunately, with the protection of the Five Elements magic power of True Man Xuanji, he has now digested most of it.

Although there were still a few things that remained unresolved, they were no longer enough to make him lose his composure.

In the stillness of the night, Qin Chuan took out his talisman brush in his room and attempted to draw the ninety-three spatial runes he had comprehended onto the talisman paper. "I already possessed second-tier talisman mastery, and now this small spatial teleportation array has given me new second-tier insights. With the fusion of the two, although I cannot directly reach the third-tier Golden Core Talisman Master realm, I am definitely among the best in the Foundation Establishment realm array masters."

The moment I picked up the pen, inspiration for the arrangement and combination of these ninety-three spatial runes flowed forth like a spring.

Ultimately, he merged these runes into two spirit talismans:
"One is a spatial input rune constructed with forty-five runes, and the other is a spatial output rune constructed with forty-eight runes."

Qin Chuan carefully placed the two talismans on the left and right sides of the table, placed a teacup on the left talisman, and then activated his spiritual power.

Instantly, the talisman patterns on the left side glowed faintly, emitting a dark light!

The teacup vanished into thin air!
It instantly appeared on the right-hand talisman, a foot away.

"It's done! Small space teleportation technique!"

Qin Chuan could not hide his excitement.

Although these runes originating from Qingmingdu were incomplete, he ultimately succeeded in drawing a simplified version of the spatial spirit rune by combining them with his mastery of rune techniques.

Although it is far inferior to the original array in terms of transmission range and carrying capacity, it has achieved true spatial teleportation.

"The Dao of Space... I have actually mastered such a technique!"

He continued to try and found that he could teleport even to cabinets that were only a few feet wide, but such a size would consume one-third of his spiritual power, which showed how high the cultivation level was required for this method.

The only remaining method of teleporting living beings remains unverified. Theoretically, it should be feasible—after all, the original flying boat array was designed to transport cultivators. However, Qin Chuan dared not attempt it rashly: the Dao of Space is profound and unpredictable, and the slightest mistake could result in being torn apart by the power of space; utmost caution was required.

Currently at the Flying Boat Station, it is difficult to find living creatures for testing. We can only wait until we arrive in the Perfect World to test the teleportation distance and the limits of teleporting living creatures.

"If one can teleport living beings, it is equivalent to mastering a life-saving skill; even if one cannot, one can use spatial talismans to achieve unexpected victories in battle."

The principles of space should never be underestimated.

Qin Chuan remained calm about the test results. Even if they weren't entirely satisfactory, he could simply complete the remaining runes on the return journey aboard the Flying Boat.

The next day, after Qin Chuan had fully digested what he had learned the previous day, his entire demeanor had subtly changed. Even Yuan Siyao, who had treated him like a fool the day before, couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

Qin Chuan was puzzled: Why was this high-ranking female cultivator so frequently paying attention to him?
Perhaps because of his performance yesterday, the scene of young cultivators exchanging ideas that Master Xuanji had hoped for did not materialize. Before long, the group arrived at the interdimensional flying ship that would soon carry them across the Eastern Divine Continent.

When Qin Chuan saw this magnificent vessel in the air berthing area of ​​Zhenshui Station, he was completely energized.

The Transcendent Spirit Boat had already bestowed upon him wondrous spatial techniques; this interdimensional flying boat, capable of traversing the Chaos Sea, must surely possess even more profound mysteries.

The giant ship is shaped like a dark whale in the vast ocean, its entire body flowing with gold, shrouded in a chaotic aura, ancient and mysterious.

As I was gazing intently, I suddenly heard a master from Xiaoxiang Academy explaining to his disciples:

"This is the Creation Ship, a cross-dimensional flying vessel created by the Perfect World's 'Nine Heavens Cloud Sect.' It is said to be equipped with the most advanced 'Source Dao' technique of the time, capable of drawing upon chaotic primordial energy for power. It is the most outstanding Daoist creation for traversing the Boundary Sea."

Looking at the colossal object, Yuan Siyao sighed softly, "I wonder when my Eastern Continent will be able to build such a flying boat?"

"This is precisely what requires us and your generation to work together."

Master Xuanji looked at the Grandmaster and Yuan Siyao and said with a smile, "Especially Gu Yuan and you, little girl, you are the successors of the Dongsheng Lingyuan Daoist arts. This visit is to hope that you can gain some inspiration and create our own source Daoist arts."

Qin Chuan then realized that the woman and the grandmaster were actually cultivators who studied the Dao of Spiritual Origin—the lineage closest to the origin of the Heavenly Dao.

He gazed at the colossal, whale-like vessel of creation, and thought to himself:
"The most advanced spiritual source techniques... I wonder how much of them I can extract from this journey through chaos?"
