Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 659: Success

In an instant, light burst forth, and the next instant, light converged inward. Mei Gongzi felt as if they were suddenly in a vacuum, nothing but void in every direction. She immediately used her divine consciousness to envelop herself and Tang San.

An instant later, she felt space quaking, and in that moment of tremor, she felt as if everything had slowed down. The sound of the tremor became distant and slow. Everything around them seemed to be shattering, as if the maw of a giant beast was crushing space itself.

In that instant, all the spatial folds collapsed, generating a powerful vibration that seemed to resonate with the entire cosmos. With this resonance, everything around them began to undergo some strange transformations.

The world around them completely vanished in that moment; there was no more sight and no more sound.

The next moment, sound returned—a deep hum that caused Mei Gongzi to instinctively furrow her brow. Golden radiance rose from beneath their feet, forming a massive golden halo.

Under the glow of this halo, everything became clear again. It was still pitch-black, but the sky was now filled with starlight.

The entire teleportation process was entirely different from anything she had experienced before.

Even when the Peacock Great Demon King took her on long-distance teleportations, it was done by opening a spatial passage to a certain location, and the more energy he used, the farther he could teleport.

But this time, it was entirely different. Mei Gongzi clearly sensed that there was no spatial passage or anything like that. Instead, space had collapsed, a violent tremor had ensued, and in the next instant, they were already here. Her divine consciousness had protected them from veering off course during the tremor, and then everything was done.

So this is resonance-based teleportation! This was what Mei Gongzi had now grasped, the profound secret Tang San had mentioned earlier.

She was truly shocked. She realized that this was definitely a higher-level application of spatial attributes, beyond the scope of her original understanding of spatial power.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Tang San. What a treasure of a man he was! Truly her walking encyclopedia. Even though she had already attained godhood, he still managed to teach her something new, and in the field she was most skilled at.

Tang San looked at her and grinned, "We did it. Look over there."

As he spoke, Tang San raised his hand and pointed into the distance.

Mei Gongzi turned around and saw a large area of bright lights in the distance, somewhere at a lower elevation.

Tang San spread his spiritual power out, observed the area, then nodded, evidently satisfied. "We're northeast of Black Dragon City, about fifty kilometers away from it, on the side of a small mountain. This is pretty close to the spot I had pre-planned. The margin of error is a little high, we’re about five kilometers off, but it just shows that I need to adjust the calculations a bit. In any case, next time, we won't need to do this. I’ll create a relay array here, and next time we’ll be able to teleport directly to this spot with no more extra trouble."

"Is it the same kind of array as the one at Golden Valley?"

"It won't be as complex. That one is the terminal of the entire teleportation system, providing the most important coordinates and a fixed spatial vibration frequency. This relay is just an intermediate point; we only need to set up a basic teleportation array and tune it to the frequency I set for the terminal. The other large teleportation array will be the other terminal, which I will place somewhere near the Ancestral Court."

"Can I watch you create this array?" Mei Gongzi’s eyes were now full of hope.

"Of course you can. If you want, I can explain the principles to you while I do the work." Tang San naturally didn’t hold anything back from her.

"That’s awesome!" Mei Gongzi said, overjoyed.

Tang San already had a plan in mind. First, he chose a location within the nearby mountains to create the array, a relatively concealed spot. Then, he set up an illusion array around the area to mask it, so that even if someone flew over, they would be subtly guided away without noticing anything.

Setting up the illusion array was even easier for him now, especially with Mei Gongzi's help. In just half an hour, they had completed a linked array consisting of nine illusion arrays, among which arrays to conceal energy fluctuations, block detection, and so on.

After everything was set up, the area appeared unchanged from the outside—just a normal little valley between some small mountains. But one could not simply walk into the valley. Entering was only possible in three ways: using an array disk—which only Tang San could make, analyzing and dismantling the linked array, or forcibly blasting it open with a large-scale attack. Obviously, the likelihood of someone randomly blasting the mountains apart was rather on the low side, and the probability of someone actually cracking the array was simply non-existent.

"Are we setting up the teleportation relay in this open space?" Mei Gongzi asked Tang San, marveling at the intricacies of the illusion array.

At this moment, her heart was full of admiration. Following Tang San in setting up the illusion array allowed her to experience its wonders firsthand. She was absolutely certain that, despite being a god, she would be unable to exit or enter this array without using brute force to destroy it. The way it was intricately layered was truly remarkable.

Tang San said, "We definitely can't set it up in the open. We need to have a natural barrier as well, not just the illusion array. So I'm planning to carve out a cave in the mountainside and then set up the relay array inside the cave. This way, it will be much better concealed."

"Carve out a cave? Oh, can I help with that?" Mei Gongzi asked.

Tang San shook his head and said, "No need, I'll handle it. I can't let my little fairy do such dirty work. You can just watch from the side."

As he spoke, Tang San walked over to the mountainside he had already chosen, turned his head to smile at Mei Gongzi, and said, "By the way, don't be scared when you see my transformation in a moment."

"Scared of what?" Mei Gongzi was puzzled, but in the next moment, she understood.

A burst of golden radiance suddenly lit up from Tang San's chest. As this golden light appeared, an incomparable surge of intense vitality erupted.

Tang San's eyes turned completely golden, and the golden light flowed out from his chest like liquid, spreading across his entire body. In an instant, he seemed to be cast entirely in gold. His body began to expand; he did not become a giant, but his height reached over three meters. The golden liquid then solidified into what looked like a suit of golden armor, and his face was covered with a golden mask.

The most dramatic change was in his arms, which became simply massive. Muscles bulged everywhere, and each of his ten fingers ended in a one-meter-long, razor-sharp claw that looked as if it was carved from golden crystal!

Golden Armor Transformation!
