Chapter 7239
Charlie wasn’t sure if the teleportation array could bring others in and out.
After instructing Maria and preparing her, he took her hand and silently activated the teleportation array’s incantation.
A flash of light and shadow passed, and his vision vanished for a moment,
But his sense of touch remained.
He could feel that he hadn’t let go of Maria’s hand, nor had she removed it from his.
Before his vision returned, he immediately realized that he could bring others to use the teleportation array,
Even if they didn’t have the ring or any cultivation.
When his vision returned, they were already in the underground city’s plaza, facing the towering square.
Maria was utterly shocked by the sight before her.
In her nearly four hundred years of life,
She had experienced her father and Charlie teleporting to her,
But she had never personally experienced teleportation.
In the blink of an eye, they were no longer in the freezing cold of Antarctica, perpetually shrouded in polar night.
Instead, they found themselves in a warm, spring-like underground city,
A place that made their very skin feel refreshed.
She stared at Charlie in astonishment, asking,
“Young Master, where are we?”
Charlie replied, “This is where the last group of cultivators lived before the end of the Dharma era; it’s an underground city.”
Maria then asked, “Are we still in Antarctica?”
“Yes,” Charlie said.
“Our actual location is beneath the ice cap.”
“Brovnen somehow found this place, digging through thousands of meters of ice,”
“But it was blocked by an array at the entrance.”
“However, I seem to be outside the array’s range, so I easily entered.”
Maria looked around and exclaimed in amazement,
“Such a vast underground city, located over a thousand meters underground in Antarctica!”
“I can’t imagine how all this was achieved.”
“Moreover, although there are no plants here,”
“I feel a vibrant sense of life. Every breath of air seems to carry powerful energy,”
“Like the tea soup of the Mother of Pu’er, but much richer!”
Charlie nodded and smiled, “This place is filled with extremely rich spiritual energy.”
“There must be a huge array constantly operating,”
“Continuously providing this place with inexhaustible spiritual energy.”
Maria had not attained enlightenment,
So she couldn’t understand how rich the spiritual energy was.
Therefore, she asked Charlie,
“Young Master…”
“Is the spiritual energy here truly inexhaustible?”
Charlie smiled and said,
“The scale of this city can support at least tens of thousands of people living at the same time.”
“Therefore, the spiritual energy array here should also be designed and built according to the needs of tens of thousands of cultivators.”
“The cultivators of that era were all very powerful,”
“Far exceeding my cultivation by more than a hundred times.”
“To do simple arithmetic, the spiritual energy here can at least satisfy the needs of millions of low-level cultivators like me.”
“So for me, it is absolutely inexhaustible.”
Maria couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise,
And said to Charlie with great joy,
“Then not only will your cultivation be accelerated many times over,”
“But you won’t have to worry about spiritual energy anymore!”
“In that case, why don’t you go into seclusion here?”
Charlie smiled and said, “Seclusion here is naturally very good for cultivation.”
“But the more abundant the spiritual energy, the faster the circulation speed during seclusion,”
“And the less you will feel the passage of time.”
“I’m afraid that if I concentrate and go into seclusion here once,”
“Decades or even hundreds of years will have passed in the outside world.”
One of the biggest differences between cultivators and ordinary people is their time scale.
For an ordinary person, a hundred years is basically the end of their life,
But for a cultivator, two hundred years is just the beginning, three to five hundred years is merely the entry point,
And a thousand or even several thousand years is just the start of the path to immortality.
When cultivating in seclusion, the better the conditions,
The higher the level of immersion.
Charlie is completely different from Meng Changsheng.
Meng Changsheng can abandon everything for cultivation,
Yet he has too many worldly ties he cannot sever—family, friends, and confidantes are all precious to him.
He cannot bear the thought of emerging from seclusion after several years or decades to find everything changed.
Maria understands Charlie’s worries.
She has long seen that Charlie is loyal and compassionate,
Not the kind of fanatic who would disregard everything for cultivation,
Even sacrificing everything.
How could he be willing to waste his prime years in endless cultivation?
So she smiled and said to Charlie,
“If you’re worried about being in seclusion for too long, young master, I can accompany you to seclusion for several months every Antarctic winter.”
“After the Antarctic winter, I’ll wake you up.”
Charlie smiled and nodded, saying,
“That’s a good idea.”
However, he quickly felt it was inappropriate and said,
“It’s just that this place is too shocking.”
“Apart from you, I really dare not let a third person know.”
“If it’s just the two of us here, and I’m in seclusion, you will have to live here alone for several months.”
“I’m afraid you’ll be very lonely.”
When Maria heard Charlie say that he didn’t intend to let a third person know the secret of this place except for her,
She was overjoyed and touched.
She knew that Charlie trusted her,
But she didn’t expect him to trust her to this extent.
Her girlish heart had already begun to open because of Charlie,
And now that her beloved recognized her so much, she was naturally overjoyed.
Shyly, she lowered her head, not daring to look Charlie in the eye, and only stared at her toes, murmuring softly,
“Young Master, you worry too much.”
“I’ve endured four hundred years; what are a few months?”
Charlie nodded slightly and smiled, saying,
“That is right.”
“If you really need to go into seclusion in the future,”
“Then I’ll trouble you to come with me.”
Maria smiled and said, “Young Master, you can go into seclusion here this time. I’ll stay and watch over you.”
“There’s still a month and a half left in the Antarctic winter.”
“I can wake you up in forty days, and we’ll return to the research station,”
“Then pick up Miss Yun and Miss Song and leave Antarctica together.”
Charlie laughed, “How can that be?”
“What will you eat in forty days?”
“There’s no food here.”
Maria then realized her mistake and said shyly,
“Young Master is right; I was inconsiderate.”
Charlie smiled and said, “I mainly wanted to show you this place.”
“There are still many wonders here that we haven’t had time to explore or experience.”
Maria nodded slightly. Suddenly, she asked Charlie a question:
“By the way, young master, the spiritual energy here is so rich.”
“If we had the chance to transplant the Mother of Pu Cha here in the future,”
“Wouldn’t her growth rate be astonishingly fast?”
