"The legendary spatial wormholes?"
Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran both exclaimed in surprise.
Their knowledge of spatial wormholes came from ancient texts. Spatial wormholes could connect two locations, significantly shortening the travel time between them.
Most of the existing spatial wormholes were connected to Zhongzhou. The demand for experts on the Continent to travel to Zhongzhou was simply too overwhelming.
"What are spatial wormholes?" Xiao Yi Xian, Lin Fei, and Xue Mei looked at Yun Yun with puzzled faces.
After Yun Yun explained, they all found it incredibly magical.
Indeed, if it weren't for spatial wormholes, traveling to some of the faraway places just on foot would be frighteningly unimaginable.
"Once the spatial wormhole is successfully constructed, Yunlan Sect can reach the Black Corner Region in less than ten minutes. I will set the endpoint near Canaan Academy and Xu Sect. In the future, if Canaan Academy is recruiting, taking the spatial wormhole would be much more convenient. Plus, the fees for using the spatial wormhole could also be a considerable source of income."
Lord Xu Ran's words brightened the eyes of all the women present. Even those without any business acumen could understand what this meant. Once the spatial wormhole was established, the demand for it would certainly be very strong.
"I heard that constructing spatial wormholes requires a lot of resources, and maintaining a spatial wormhole also needs at least a few Dou Zong experts. Only Dou Zong experts can barely manipulate spatial power." Yun Yun's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
The fact that maintaining a spatial wormhole needed at least three Dou Zong experts was enough to frustrate most places.
Indeed, only experts above Dou Zong could comprehend spatial power; there was no helping that.
Moreover, sending people through the wormhole also consumed energy, and the primary source of that energy was demon cores. The consumption of the demon cores by the spatial wormhole was also enormous, which small forces could hardly afford.
"Ordinary people constructing spatial wormholes would naturally face such issues, but I am no ordinary person."
"How could the spatial wormhole I construct be unstable? Moreover, making it actively absorb the surrounding heavenly energy to operate isn't difficult. Even if energy needs to be supplemented occasionally, it wouldn't consume too much from the demon cores." Xu Ran declared proudly.
"That would be amazing. Xu Ran, I love you to death." Yun Yun's face turned red as she spoke, only to see Nalan Yanran and the others looking at her.
But if the spatial wormhole Xu Ran spoke of was indeed successfully built, who knows how many powers would curry favor with Yunlan Sect. Being able to earn money from the surrounding forces while receiving their adulation, how could Yun Yun not be excited about such a two-birds-with-one-stone situation?
If it weren't for Xiao Yi Xian and the others being there, Yun Yun would probably be pulling Nalan Yanran alongside her to reward Xu Ran quite handsomely.
"First, I'll get the spatial wormhole set up for you and the Snake-People Tribe, then I'll work on the one for Canaan Academy, and afterward, I'll bring you all over." Xu Ran smacked his forehead, ready to act immediately. How could he have forgotten about something as useful as spatial wormholes before?
Outside the Outer Sect of Yunlan Sect.
On a stone platform, a formidable power of space was faintly emanating.
At the center of the stone platform, a huge, ten-zhang-wide pitch-black hole was slowly rotating, astonishing waves of spatial power flooding out from it.
"Is this that spatial wormhole then? It really is a grand endeavor..." The pitch-black hole, like a black hole, emanated a strange suction force. From a distance, what could be seen was a seemingly endless darkness and an eerie, soul-stirring howling sound.
As Xu Ran continuously made some incantations, the dense space runes condensed into a black hole that led to an unknown destination. If an uninformed person were to enter now, they could be taken to any place on the Continent, or even possibly be swallowed by the black hole. It could only be used once Xu Ran had arranged the other end of the Spatial Wormhole.
All the Elders and deacons of Yunlan Sect had come here, excited and reverent as they watched the figure in front of them.
Spatial Wormholes!
Starting from now, their Yunlan Sect could actually control a Spatial Wormhole.
Even if there were Spatial Wormholes on the Northwest Continent, they were mostly established by the major powers of Zhongzhou. Those in control of the Spatial Wormholes were a coalition of several factions. Even so, they raked in a fortune. Didn't this mean that Yunlan Sect was now thoroughly wealthy?
And with Xu Ran here, who would dare to target this Spatial Wormhole?
"Lord Xu Ran is truly a blessing to our Yunlan Sect! If it weren't for Lord Xu Ran, our Yunlan Sect would now already be a scene of carnage, and we would not even be able to save our own lives. We could never come into contact with something of the level of a Spatial Wormhole in this lifetime," everyone from Yunlan Sect was full of sighs.
"Although our Yunlan Sect is slightly inferior to those dominant forces on the Northwest Continent, at least we have Yun Yun Sect Master and Miss Nalan Yanran."
Many forces much more powerful than Yunlan Sect did not have the qualifications to touch anything of the level of a Spatial Wormhole.
Yunlan Sect only needed to guard this entrance from now on, and they could make money while lying down.
Many people were sneaking glances at Yun Yun and the others, with fervent looks in their eyes.
Such beauties were so infrequent in the Jia Ma Empire that it was unknown how many years it might take before a few more could emerge. Such level of beauties, anyone would like them.
"It's been established."
In just a few minutes, Xu Ran had constructed the Spatial Wormhole.
The stability of the Spatial Wormhole constructed by Xu Ran was incomparable to those forcibly created by Dou Zong Experts. It could be said that, as long as it wasn't deliberately destroyed by a powerful expert, the Spatial Wormhole could operate permanently without any issues.
"So quickly?" Everyone was amazed. The legendary Spatial Wormhole was constructed so easily. But upon remembering it was Xu Ran who built it, nobody was surprised any longer.
A powerful being like Xu Ran, whatever miraculous things he did were all within reason.
"I need to go to the Snake-People Tribe for a bit and set up their end of the Spatial Wormhole."
"I'm going too." Xiao Yi Xian had just reunited with Xu Ran and hadn't even had the chance to speak with him alone. How could she bear to let Xu Ran leave again? She ignored the presence of others and immediately flew to Xu Ran's side, hugging him and securing the best position.
"You guys go ahead. I just happen to need to arrange the Sect's affairs." Yun Yun and the others did not compete with Xiao Yi Xian any further. A jealous woman can be quite terrifying. Xiao Yi Xian's sorrowful expression today had indeed given them a bit of a shock.
Moreover, although they pretended that it was business as usual today, they were actually extremely tired. They hadn't slept all night yesterday, and got up early in the morning, frantically trying to tidy up various traces, now they just wanted to go back to sleep at once.
"Hmm." Xu Ran nodded, holding Xiao Yi Xian, and in an instant, they disappeared from their sight.
