Chapter 244 High Priest
After lying down for a few days.
Zhao Mu was sleeping soundly when he suddenly had a dream. In the dream, there was a woman who was dressed so tightly that her face could not be seen at all. She told him that the secret passage had been opened and asked him to choose a hidden place to lay the teleportation array.
Zhao Mu woke up in a daze, and then found that there was a complicated inscription branded on the palm of his hand.
"This is... space coordinates?"
Zhao Mu suddenly thought of what Ji Zi said before she left. Could it be that the person who appeared in his dream was the high priest of the Divine Phoenix Empire?
Anyway, let's give it a try.
Zhao Mu came to the basement of Muhai Manor and began to set up the teleportation array according to the method recorded in the inscription.
The structure of this teleportation array is very complicated, and it is quite difficult for Zhao Mu to set up the array with his ability.
It took three or four days of hard work to finally successfully build the teleportation array.
Afterwards, Zhao Mu input the inscription in his hand into the teleportation array, trying to communicate with the teleportation array on the other end.
After some attempts, it actually worked.
Zhao Mu could feel that the other end of the teleportation array was above his head, very far away, and seemed to be in a different spatial dimension.
If nothing unexpected happens, the other end of the teleportation array should be the upper realm.
It works!
However, this teleportation array is very unstable. Not only does it consume a lot of energy for each transmission, but it also needs to be silent for a period of time after each transmission.
Conservatively speaking, after using it once, you should wait at least five days before reactivating it.
But if it can really help Zhao Mu travel back and forth between the upper and lower realms, teleporting once every five days would be enough.
After thinking about it, Zhao Mu did not disturb the ladies.
It’s my first time going to the upper realm, and I’m facing all the unknown things. It would be safer to go alone.
Once he has established a foothold in the upper realm, there will still be time to bring his ladies over.
Besides, the situation in the upper realm is not good now, and the demons are attacking fiercely. With sufficient resources, there is actually no need to rush to the upper realm.
The next day.
After making sufficient preparations, Zhao Mu activated the teleportation array and was then sent into a long and narrow void tunnel.
The teleportation process was very long, lasting nearly an hour. When Zhao Mu was about to doubt whether he was being cheated, the teleportation finally ended. Zhao Mu's figure flashed and he came to a quiet courtyard.
The diameter of the skylight is only tens of meters, and the height is hundreds of meters. It is surrounded by fiery red plants, and the air is filled with a strong aura of fire element. Above his head, the way out is blocked by a ball of blazing fire. Zhao Mufei looked over curiously, but found a large ball of fluffy feathers.
When Zhao Mu was wondering, he suddenly heard a phoenix cry, and then a huge golden egg fell out from the feathers.
Zhao Mu's expression suddenly became a little strange.
This can't be the nest of a monster, and it just happened to be a monster laying eggs.
"Wow!"
With a cry, the feathers above its head flew away.
Zhao Mu quickly chased out and took a look, and found that it was a big phoenix with seven-colored feathers.
"Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix: Divine Emperor Realm Stage Two, one of the most ancient Phoenix clans in the Divine Phoenix Empire. Once fought to protect the Divine Phoenix Empire, their bloodline was damaged and they were unable to transform. They now reside in the Divine Phoenix Empire's central secret realm, continuing to work hard to propagate the Phoenix Imperial Clan."
Well, it looks like a heroic phoenix.
But this place is actually a secret place.
Zhao Mu looked around and found that everywhere he looked were tall and majestic mountains. The phoenix nest under his feet was located on a cliff that was towering into the clouds. There were some similar nests around, some of which had hungry little phoenixes in them, poking their heads out to look out.
When they saw Zhao Mu, these little phoenixes were subconsciously stunned for a moment. Perhaps they mistook Zhao Mu for a bug, and they flapped their wings and flew over to eat Zhao Mu.
"Come here, this way!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in Zhao Mu's mind.
Zhao Mu immediately followed the voice's instructions and flew over.
After flying for a while, Zhao Mu came to a strange river flowing with flames.
The voice continued to guide them as they flew towards the source of the river of fire.
After a while, Zhao Mu came to an ancient red temple.
Entering the temple, there is a pool of water as calm as a mirror.
He stepped into the water, causing ripples, and then his whole body seemed to be turned over and appeared in an antique courtyard.
A beautiful woman in colorful clothes and with colorful hair was staring at him.
Zhao Mu felt a little embarrassed by being stared at, and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"
Zhao Mu just tried to use the Supreme Divine Eye to observe the other party's information, but the Supreme Divine Eye failed for the first time, and all the information he saw were question marks.
"My name is Qiqiya, the High Priestess of the Divine Phoenix Empire. Ji Zi should have mentioned me to you."
"So you are the high priest. I'm so sorry."
This high priestess is indeed quite capable. She is worthy of being the woman that the three major forces in the upper realm are vying to recruit.
"I'm being disrespectful. I never thought there was a prodigy like you hidden in the lower realm. Tell me quickly, how did you manage to woo Ji Zi? I've watched her grow up, and she's even more proud than her mother. I once calculated that she'd never get married, but you ran away from home for a few years and actually entrusted your lifelong happiness to someone else. I'm very curious about you, otherwise I wouldn't have spent such a huge price to open the teleportation array between the upper and lower realms, just to be able to see you sooner, to see you in person."
As he spoke, the high priest had already circled around Zhao Mu several times, looking here and there, and almost took off Zhao Mu's pants to examine him carefully.
This was the first time Zhao Mu acted so embarrassed in front of a woman.
"Well, High Priest, Ji Zi and I are in love with each other, and nothing special has happened. So I'm afraid I'll disappoint you."
"Something's wrong."
The high priest suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at Zhao Mu. "I see the trick. Your bone age has just reached 20 years old, but your soul age is over 40. You should be a reincarnation... No, you were only in your twenties before reincarnation. The upper realm has never produced a top-level strongman who died in his twenties. Oh, I see, you are reincarnated from another world!"
"This……"
Zhao Mu was shocked.
This high priest must have poisonous eyes.
Can you see this?
The upper realm is indeed very dangerous.
I met such an outrageous guy as soon as I arrived.
I don’t think she will notice the existence of the system next time.
"Strange, strange... There seems to be another kind of luck lingering around you, but it's too complicated and hidden too deeply for me to see through."
The high priest's eyes were almost touching Zhao Mu's forehead, making Zhao Mu's scalp numb.
