The war part 4

/*unedited*/

The complexity of the runes has evaded the eyes of the array masters of the Xi Empire. Even Master Ju, the array expert of the Xi Empire was unable to fully analyze and understand the runes embedded on the gate, so every cultivator in the teleportation gate felt a bit reluctant in having the beautiful middle-aged woman have her way.

But with the deterrence of a nascent realm cultivator, everyone was silent and just let the woman be.

After opening her simple laptop with a black and white screen, she began to move her hand as she speedily types in some codes on the keyboard. After some time, she was done and a black and white image now appears on the screen.

The image is the whole 3D view of the gate.

When the two array experts saw this, they realized something.

With the 3D now in full view they can now understand what Fu Rong Bai was talking about.

"I think I understand what you mean Mother Bai. I'm enlightened; you truly are a genius in runes."

"Haha, Do you think that Mother Bai was sent here just to babysit us? Haha…"

The people around them just laughed. They know that what Fu Rong Bai said was the truth. In just a few looks she has already figured out the flaw of the gate. With this, they confidently supported her conjectures.

Meanwhile, the old man looks with amazement at the small black box on the ground. He can see a similar structure of the gate but smaller on the front screen.

"What an interesting object." He muttered.

Then suddenly Fu Rong Bai stood up and looks at the huge gate.

The gate is around 5 meters in height and with a length of 3 meters. The thickness of the gate is around one meter. Fu Rong Bai showed a troubled expression as she looks at the whole structure.

"Captain Li, we have a problem. If I move this on my own, it would take me too much time. But I can't ask for help from just anyone. Because if they carelessly misaligned the runes and the dial, then it would have a very dangerous effect." Fu Rong Bai said as she reported her initial findings to Qian Li.

"Hmm… It's okay Mother Bai, we'll just have to wait then." Qian Li decided.

"Okay, it would take me at least four hours to align this thing properly. Please bear with it, okay?" Fu Rong Bai said with an amiable smile on her face.

Then she walks near the gate and was about to jump up when a voice stopped her.

"Hold on… Maybe I can help you." Gung Xi said as he walks calmly towards Fu Rong Bai.

"I am a nascent realm cultivator. I have better control with my Qi and body," he added.

"Alright, then let me give you a test then." Fu Rong Bai said with doubt clearly written all over her good looking face.

When Gung Xi heard this, his white beard could not help but shake. He is a well-respected and powerful cultivator. He could not believe that a mere woman would doubt his words.

But before he could get angry, his gaze meets hers and a soothing sensation somewhat enters his heart.

Suddenly, like ice being melted. His frozen heart which has never been thawed for 500 years is now slowly breaking revealing a wildly beating red heart.

"Ahem… as you command." Suddenly Gung Xi said.

Everyone was suddenly dumbfounded even Fu Rong Bai at his gesture.

She didn't know what the old man ate. Because he suddenly became mild-mannered and his temperament changed all of a sudden. From being nonchalant and cold, he suddenly became very amiable and kind. This drastic change in his attitude made everyone think of one thing.

"It seems that spring has blossomed inside the old man's heart." whispered one of the cultivators.

While the others nodded in agreement to this.

In the Xi Empire, Gung Xi is actually famous for being single all his life. He was always cold to every woman who would approach him.

But today they saw a different Gung Xi. The cultivators didn't expect that he would be this close to a woman and a mortal at that. And now, he is showing too much respect for her.

Many are now preparing to spread this news to the Great City of Xi.

Meanwhile, Fu Rong Bai carefully analyzed the structure of the gate and instructed which parts Gung Xi should move.

It only took him 30 minutes in aligning the proper position of the runes. Which is by far very fast and she would not deny that he is very accurate.

"For this last part. I hope that you people won't panic when you see it okay?" Fu Rong Bai said with a smile.

"Please move the right base of the edifice by two inches." Fu Rong Bai said.

When Gung Xi heard this, he didn't think twice and suddenly appear on the right base of the gate.

His small figure looks like a tiny dwarf standing at the side of the relic gate.

When he lifted his foot to kick a voice rang out.

"Wait! Don't..." along with this voice a figure of a middle-aged man floated down to the ground.

If Shin Jiao is here he can recognize this man as Master Ju, the array expert of the Xi Empire.

"Master Ju! What brings you here?" suddenly Gung Xi stopped and turn towards Master Ju's location.

"Elder Gung Xi, you must not be too impulsive. Luckily I pass by this place to check it after my long travel." Master Ju said with a sigh of relief.

"What do you mean master Ju? We are actually fixing this old thing so that it can be used easily in the future." Gung Xi explained.

Right now, Gung Xi is already convinced that what Fu Rong Bai said was true. This is because, as a nascent realm cultivator, he can detect the flow of Qi in his surroundings more strongly. And right now, the flow of Qi in this place has grown ten times.

This only means one thing, if the gate is self-sufficient it would not rely on spirit stones that much in using it. So with this in mind, he already knows that they are on the right track.

"Sigh, master Ju… although I am not proficient in arrays. But I know a real teleport gate if I see one… the empire would spend thousands of spirit stones just to send the princes and their escorts to their destinations. But right now, can't you feel the flow of Qi?" Gung Xi said as he waved his hands up as if trying to touch an invisible cloud.

When Master Ju heard this he was dumbfounded. This is because everything that Gung Xi said is true. Every cultivator in the area also realized this, as they closed their eyes and spread their spiritual sense. As they did that, the once peaceful area is now full of Qi which slowly twirls around the gate's platform.

As every cultivator is feeling solemn, a mature woman's voice interrupted them.

"Master Ju, this mortal greets you." Fu Rong Bai said while cupping her hands.

"Master Ju we need to move the base of the gate so that we can break all the added formation on the ground," she added.

"In truth, those added array paths are taking too much spirit stones. I think everyone thought that this gate is an immovable structure. But in truth, it is not. According to my findings, if you move the base towards a certain direction, you don't need a directional array. All you have to do is turn the base of the gate and point it to your desired direction." She explained.

Upon hearing her explanation, Master Ju, Gung Xi and the rest showed a disbelieving expression on their eyes.

But Master Ju was the first one to recover and asked.

"Are you sure about that? Because if not, I suggest not removing the array paths so that we can use it as a directional path to the five kingdoms." Master Ju said.

Suddenly, Fu Rong Bai calmly walks towards the right gate base.

"Mother Bai, what are doing?" Qian Li suddenly asked in alarm.

Although she is confident of Fu Rong Bai's conjecture, yet right now they could not offend the two strong cultivators. But before everyone could react, Fu Rong Bai, suddenly kicked the base with her small foot.

Upon seeing her action, the cultivators showed a mocking gaze. She is just a more mortal, although she showed strange abilities, yet still, she is not as strong as a cultivator.

Creak! Crack! Clang! Dong! Dong!

Suddenly the sound of gears moving can be heard from below.

Then the ground that everyone is standing on began moving. With the tremor, the cultivators immediately floated through the air in panic.

"Oh no! Did that woman ruined the gate?"

"This can't be… how can she be strong? She is just a… mortal."

The discussion suddenly erupted as the crowed disperse away from the gate and it continues to move and sounds of gears moving can be heard.

It took a full twenty minutes before the sound of gears stopped and the current position of the gate is now different.

With the hard rock-like object which accumulated through thousands of years of not being used removed. The gate now looks metallic black. And on the ground which is now partly cleaned, a weird drawing of a continent exists.

Upon seeing this, Gung Xi waved his hand and a burst of wind cleaned the area of the gate.

Everyone can now see the luster of the gate.

"I knew my analysis is correct." Suddenly Fu Rong Bai said with an excited gesture and expression.

"With this one can travel to any place in the cultivation land… and…" Fu Rong Bai excitedly expresses her happiness by explaining to everyone how this thing worked.

From the drawing of the runes and the explanation, Fu Rong Bai explained how much spirit stones would be spent in a specific direction.

After a while of explanation, the group now began to prepare themselves for their departure.

Meanwhile, Master Ju didn't let go of this chance to exchange ideas with Fu Rong Bai. This is because he was truly amazed at her knowledge when it comes to runes. And this reminds him of a young mortal man which he had met a few months ago before going on his journey.

While the two are talking, Gung Xi showed a sour face. Because right now, he wanted to be the one talking with Fu Rong Bai.

The group now has another person with them as they stood under the gate. When it was activated a low hum was heard, and what fascinated everyone is the clear picture at the other end of the gate, just like a mirror.

Then the group one by one enters the gate, to start their adventure in another land and another kingdom.
