Chapter 7227
To understand the purpose of the advanced cultivators who built these teleportation arrays, Charlie meticulously analyzed every clue.
He was certain of one thing: teleportation arrays required a massive amount of spiritual energy.
The ring Maria gave him required more spiritual energy for a single teleport than the ring had drained all his spiritual energy in previous teleportations.
This meant that even teleporting a single person required a huge amount of spiritual energy.
Furthermore, he couldn’t determine whether the required spiritual energy varied depending on the teleportation distance.
If teleportation were charged per trip, that would be understandable.
But if it were charged by distance, then this intercontinental teleportation would likely require hundreds of times more spiritual energy than his previous teleportation from Champs-Élysées to Purple Gold Manor.
Moreover, these teleportation arrays, in their time, had to support tens of thousands of people constantly traveling,
With daily teleportations possibly numbering in the tens of thousands.
The spiritual energy required for this was astronomical.
This proves that the cost of building and maintaining these teleportation arrays was very high,
Even for them back then, it was a huge expenditure.
It’s similar to a country’s infrastructure development.
If a country spares no expense to build a road or railway that is extremely difficult and costly,
Then that country must have a high strategic purpose, far beyond simply making the place accessible.
Therefore, they must have had their own strategic goals when building these teleportation arrays.
The successors might just be the carriers.
Thinking of this, Charlie suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
He suddenly realized how they transported all those bluestones,
White marbles, gold, and timber to the massive underground city they built in Antarctica?
These things weren’t native to Antarctica!
For example, there wasn’t a single tree in the entire Antarctic.
Even if cultivation was advanced in that era,
The technology and manufacturing level certainly weren’t up to par.
The earliest cultivators to arrive in Antarctica might have been able to physically traverse the Roaring Forties,
But they definitely couldn’t build ships capable of carrying large quantities of building materials.
How were so many building materials not native to Antarctica transported there?
The answer seemed obvious.
Charlie was certain that the building materials had been transported there via teleportation arrays.
Only in this way could enough materials to build a city be transported to Antarctica in the most efficient way.
Furthermore, the entire underground city possessed such dense spiritual energy,
And even these arrays were driven by a continuous supply of spiritual energy.
So, what provided this spiritual energy?
Pills?
Impossible.
Because pills can only be absorbed by the human body,
They couldn’t be directly used to power the arrays.
Therefore, there was probably only one possibility: Spirit stones.
And an immense quantity of spirit stones.
Just like the Peace and Wealth Stone he had obtained years ago.
The inscription was likely carved by later generations who didn’t understand it.
But its essence was a spirit stone containing spiritual energy.
Before the Dharma-ending Age, the world already contained spiritual energy.
Moreover, after hundreds of millions of years of evolution, Earth had also nurtured spirit stones rich in spiritual energy.
The significance of spirit stones to cultivators was like the significance of uranium ore to nuclear physics—both were gifts from nature to humankind.
However, spirit stones are a non-renewable resource, and during the Dharma-ending Age, they would undoubtedly be a target of frantic competition among cultivators.
These nine teleportation arrays distributed globally might have been their channels for acquiring spirit stones back then.
Considering the enormous manpower and resources these cultivators expended to migrate to Antarctica, their decision to relocate must have been made after the Dharma-ending Age began,
In order to build a cultivation utopia and use almost the entire nation’s resources to offset the negative effects of the Dharma-ending Age.
If these speculations are correct,
Then, before or after going to Antarctica, they must have been searching for spirit stones globally,
As they needed vast amounts of spirit stones to maintain the operation of the underground city and meet the cultivation needs of tens of thousands of cultivators, they needed to.
This provides a reasonable explanation for the existence of the teleportation arrays.
Charlie already had a hypothetical scene in his mind.
In the underground city, while most cultivators were fully engaged in secluded cultivation and striving for higher cultivation levels,
A group of cultivators, like worker ants, continuously traveled to various parts of the world through the teleportation arrays,
Searching for resources and spirit stones for their mother’s nest.
They scour the world for precious spirit stones and transport them back here continuously.
When there are no enemies, they diligently mine and search for treasure.
If they encounter enemies, they quickly assemble a large number of cultivators to provide support.
Enemies are no match for them, as they lack such a massive cultivator base, infrastructure, and global deployment capabilities.
Even if they temporarily fall behind in a certain area,
It doesn’t matter; their teleportation arrays are protected by powerful formations, like the safest haven.
Once inside, enemies without the necessary incantations to activate the array are completely helpless.
Charlie even believes that their teleportation arrays have never encountered any threat in recent years,
Because the compass has only nine positions,
And the corresponding teleportation arrays for all nine positions are intact.
Charlie believed that the worker ant-like cultivators wouldn’t complain,
Because it was all based on a perfect utopian framework:
Everyone for me, and me for everyone.
While they cultivated, I protected them, providing necessary support so they could focus on their cultivation.
And when I completed my phase of the mission,
Someone would awaken and take over, allowing me to cultivate in peace.
