Later that same day, Luina brought back all the materials Rean asked for. Of course, there were only a few hours before they left for the Free Continent, so there was no point in forging right now.
The other competitors and their subordinates also spent their time preparing for the rest of the day. Eventually, the one-day time limit for preparation was gone, and everyone gathered at the Teleport Formations Hall.
The Jamai Sect didn't really have any teleport formation to the Free Continent. However, they did have teleport formations that could send others huge distances away. Fortunately, that was exactly what Hilanshi needed. "Alright, I don't care whether everyone is here or not. I'm going to open the spatial gate now."
He then took something like a small box from his spatial ring. Seeing that, Rean immediately understood that it had very high-level formation inscriptions there. The runes were definitely at a level that neither he nor Havek could create at the moment.
Hilanshi then put that box at the center of one of the super long-distance teleport formations before ordering, "Activate the formation."
As soon as the Jamai Sect members did that, the box began to float at the center of the formation. Then, natural formation runes gathered around and interacted with the box as well as the formation itself. One didn't need to think hard to know that the box could somehow change the destination of the formation itself. Rean himself was extremely curious to know how it worked as he could use something like that in the future.
After a while, the box started its work as a spatial gate soon appeared in front of everyone. "It's done. Everyone, get inside. As for the elders who wish to watch the competition, you can head to the Lioste Continent yourself. That's the continent located just beside the Free Continent. Our Rambram Sect prepared several monitoring formations there for you to watch the development."
Cantafia then patted Luina's shoulder as she looked at the formation, telling Luina, "Make sure to stay alive."
"Yes, mother." Luina nodded and began to walk in the direction of the spatial gate.
The twins, obviously, did the same thing and followed Luina.
Soon, the one hundred disciples of the Jamai Sect and the two hundred subordinates entered the gate. Last but not least, Hilanshi took his box back and entered the spatial gate himself. Only then did the spatial gate disappear.
Once again, the huge distance traversed through the teleport made quite a few participants suffer during the travel. However, it was at least much closer than the teleport the twins had to go through to arrive in Jamai Sect. That was enough for everyone there to be able to resist the teleport on their own.
Walfure Region, located at the south-southwest side of the Free Continent. There, one would find a country called Hisatsu. In the capital of Hisatsu Country, Linsoc, one would find the Formation Master Guild. Naturally, that was also the place where one would find most of the teleport formations in the city, including the super long-distance ones.
*Tzzzzzzz*
Suddenly, one of those teleport formations activated, quickly opening a spatial gate.
*Vup, vup, vup, vup, vup...*
Following that, the participants of the Jamai Sect started to come out one after another. Naturally, their subordinates, as well as Hilanshi himself, appeared as well.
"We've been waiting for you, Supervisor Hilanshi." Immediately, several members of the Rambram Sect came to receive Hilanshi.
Hilanshi simply nodded as he walked out. Naturally, the Jamai Sect's participants followed right behind him. They wondered if they would find the participants of the other continents in this city as well.
However, they soon noticed something in the air as they approached the exit. In fact, even inside the Formation Guild, they could see the same thing. It's just that they thought that whatever it was, it was something related to that specific Formation Guild. Yet now, they could see that they were present everywhere. "What are these things?"
The things they could see were small beads of energy that floated around. They seemed to be ethereal as they passed right through walls like little ghosts. As far as everyone's Divine Senses could see, these little floating beads were everywhere. Even the formations around them couldn't stop them.
Hilanshi didn't seem to be in the mood to explain as he wanted to reach his destination as fast as possible. The disciples of the Rambram Sect, seeing that Hilanshi didn't answer, didn't dare to do it either.
Nevertheless, Rean and Sister Orb already had an idea. 'Sister Orb, can you feel the runes inside them?'
[Yes, these small beads are definitely being controlled by formations.]
Rean tried to touch one of the beads, and as soon as they made contact, the bead dissipated instantly. Rean didn't even feel it. 'This is definitely some kind of monitoring formation, don't you think?'
[Yeah. These beads are connected to what seems to be a ridiculously huge formation running high up in the skies. If I'm not wrong, the formation is very close to the barrier separating the Realm of Gods and the Sea of Stars. Judging by its scale, I'm pretty sure that this thing is covering the entire continent. It's probably a level above the Jhiod Sect's Temporal Barrier Fusion Formation that protects their continental barrier.]
Roan, who was also listening to the conversation, narrowed his eyes. 'A monitoring formation covering the entire continent? This should be what the elders of the powers participating in this Free Continent Competition will use to check on us.'
'Doesn't that mean that this so-called competition will take place in the entire Free Continent?' Rean couldn't help but ask.
Sister Orb and Roan agreed with him. 'The chances are very high, but we better wait and see what Hilanshi has to say first.'
"Hey, Rean." Luina noticed the twins' silence and decided to ask. "Do you know what these things are?"
Rean looked around and didn't see a reason to really keep quiet. It's just that he used a Divine Sense message to answer instead. 'I believe I do.'
