There were three elements to a space jump.
The most important of all was the coordinates of the destination.
It was an information set made of hundreds of parameters.
Not only did the relative location of the destination in the universe have to be described, the speed and trajectory of the orbit around the star or even the center of the galaxy must also be analyzed. It could not have been more complicated.
Even if one of the thousands of parameters was missing or wrong, it was possible to miss by a hair's breadth and be teleported to a completely different direction.
The second element was the star beacons.
Star beacons were equivalent to lighthouses in the sea of stars. When sailing on the boundless ocean, it was useless to only know the location of the 'port'. In the stormy, dark, and foggy days, one had to be guided by a dozen or even twenty powerful lighthouses continuously in order to reach the target successfully.
The more enormous the starship, the larger the fleet, and the longer the distance jump, the higher the number of star beacons and the higher the power would be required.
Otherwise, it was very possible that dozens of starships would collide and even meld when they reached the destination, leading to a series of explosions that would lead to total destruction.
It was like dozens of ships weighing a hundred thousand tons flooding into a narrow port at the same time. Without the guidance of lighthouses and navigators, they would inevitably run into each other and run aground. It was the same logic.
The third element was naturally the spiritual energy to be consumed in a space jump.
A space jump was a special kind of teleportation. It required the materials of a certain mass in the three-dimensional space to tear apart the barrier of the four-dimensional space and resist the storms, rips, and distortions unimaginable for human beings in the four-dimensional space. Then, the materials would be teleported to a certain point precisely before they were reduced from the four-dimensional space to the three-dimensional space and reconstructed in their original form. The spiritual energy consumed in the entire process was astronomical. The longer the teleportation distance, the more precise the destination was required, and the more spiritual energy would be consumed.
Li Yao had been able to jump from Boneyard to the Flying Star Sector on 'Sparkle' before because he had not set a destination at all. The 'precision' was close to zero. That was why he had been able to achieve the jump with the little spiritual energy left on Sparkle, which had been asleep for thousands of years.
However, such a one-ten-thousandth stroke of luck did not happen every day. In most cases, an aimless jump would only lead to the depths of the dark, cold sea of stars, where spiritual energy, planets, or even interstellar dust … There was nothing.
During a space jump that was well prepared and the destination was determined, the launch platforms all boasted their own sources of powerful energy.
The 'Heaven's Artillery' on the Heaven's Origin Sector used the explosive force of the underground magma.
The 'Eye of Blood Demon' of the Blood Demon Sector used the tidal force of the interaction between the three satellites and the planets.
The 'cosmic slingshots' on Ice King in the Flying Star Sector, on the other hand, were based on the powerful techniques left by the Star Ocean Imperium. They would accumulate the force of the planet's rotation bit by bit, like the spring of a mechanical watch, and when they were above the critical point, they would be shot out!
Right
The experts of the Ancient Gods Sector had the ancient star map left on the Nuwa warship and the trace of a signal that was shot from the Ancient Sages Sector to the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Flying Star Sector a hundred years ago.
The star Star Li of the Star star star of the Star Star of the Star Of the Of the Star sector of the Star of the Star star star Star star
The spectrum and parameters of the red giant that was "beyond the territory of the Star Glory Federation" and was known as the "Shimmering Light Space Zone" on the star map had been recorded and locked onto in detail, too. It could be used as a "natural star beacon" to guide the direction in the four-dimensional jump.
The only problem was that such a long-distance jump would consume a lot of spiritual energy.
The 'Bloody Blade' -level warship was a 'tactical' starship. Its usual strategy was to follow the super enormous mothership and launch a short assault on the enemy, like a shark following a blue whale.
Generally speaking, the 'Bloody Blade' -level warship would not perform a super long-distance space jump on its own but mixed with the fleet of the Imperium.
Naturally, there were 'shuttles' in the fleet that were responsible for establishing 'super large teleportation arrays' in the vacuum of space. Not only could the temporary teleportation arrays directly radiate in space, the shuttles could also output an extremely powerful protective and condensed magnetic field that would enshroud and restrain the 'Bloody Blade' -level warship, the commanding mothership, the carriers, the battleships, and the rest of the fleet, and teleport them to their destination in their original formation and form.
Without the coverage of the mothership's magnetic field and the high-efficiency spiritual energy of the shuttles, the 'Bloody Blade' -level warship could only perform a series of short-distance jumps. It was already their best to jump from the edge of the dark nebula to the depths. It was unlikely that they would be able to jump to a space zone near the Xing Yao Federation, which was relatively far away.
To put it in simpler terms, they needed someone to kick their 'bottom' so that they could 'spread their wings and soar through the stars'.
Besides, for a space jump, the higher the Cultivation of the passengers, the greater the 'mass' they would show in the four-dimensional space, and the more spiritual energy they would need to consume.
It was for that reason that 'Occult Orbs Fellowship' of the Xing Yao Federation could only select Cultivators in the Building Foundation Stage to carry out the exploration missions of the Occult Orbs in space because the Heaven's Artillery at that time was not powerful enough.
Right now, counting Heiye Lan, eleven Yuanying Cultivators and two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators would be teleported!
Even the main-force mothership of the Imperium's fleet might not be able to carry so many unparalleled experts at the same time.
It was needless to mention the 'Bloody Blade' -level warship that was riddled with holes and mended and barely pieced together.
Li Yao, Long Yangjun, Heiye Lan, Meng Chixin, and Wu Suiyun thought hard for quite a few months. In the end, Li Yao and Long Yangjun came up with a somewhat risky approach together.
They dismantled a space jump unit from the Nuwa warship and connected it to the bottom of Weary Tooth as a one-time 'thruster'.
The energy for the space jump unit of the Nuwa Clan to tear apart the four-dimensional space and perform the space teleportation was from the sun!
"Fellow Cultivators, please sit tight. In order for so many super experts to perform a super long-distance space jump, infinite spiritual energy will be required to burst out instantly!"
Long Yangjun rubbed her hands in excitement and smiled in the visual communication channel. "Weary Tooth is not capable of unleashing such immense spiritual energy on its own. Therefore, we have to make use of the power of the sun. More precisely speaking, we have to make use of the power of the 'solar prominence'!
"You don't need to know what a 'solar prominence' is exactly. You only need to imagine it as a tide released from the sun! Next, I will search for the saddle-shaped depression on the surface of the sun where the solar prominence is most likely to be generated. Then, I will control the space jump unit of the Nuwa warship to shoot a special mystic ray at the area, trying to break the stable spiritual and magnetic structure of the area so that the force of the solar prominence hidden inside the corona will be triggered. Like an enormous tide, it will 'push' us out of the three-dimensional world and march toward a higher dimension brutally!
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand what I'm talking about. All you need to know is that this is the method recorded on the operation jade chips in the engine compartment of the Nuwa warship. The odds of success should be very high. Even if we fail, it won't matter because we will be swallowed by the solar prominence hundreds of thousands of meters tall and melted in the tides of the sun. I guarantee that we will not feel any pain!
"Ha. The saddle-shaped depression has been found. Sit tight, everybody. Stabilize your beliefs and protect your soul. I'm going to bombard the sun now!"
The sun of the Ancient Sages Sector was like a furiously burning ocean compared to the tiny Weary Tooth that was directly related to a tiny frog on the beach.
It was truly a grain of sand in an ocean!
However, at this moment, the frog at the bottom of the well that had just crawled out of the dry well on the beach was opening its mouth and roaring at the furiously burning ocean of fire in the universe that seemed to be eternally burning!
In front of the sun, both the roars and the waves of mystic rays that shot toward the depths of the sun from the rear of Weary Tooth together with the 'roars' were so insignificant that they could be ignored.
However, when the rays of light shot into a saddle-shaped area on the surface of the chromosphere of the sun that was obviously dimmer than the surroundings and looked like a black floating ice, the 'black floating ice' suddenly broke apart and spurted out tremendous materials and flames to the outside of the corona like a volcano eruption and a flood, constituting a glamorous, brilliant, and brilliant fountain!
The fountain was thrown at Weary Tooth overwhelmingly, covering a distance of hundreds of thousands of meters in the blink of an eye.
Behind Weary Tooth, almost a hundred glittering 'solar sails' that were as thin as the wings of cicadas from different angles had been opened. They were specifically designed to withstand and collect the tides that were surging out of the surface of the sun.
BOOM!
The solar prominence that was hundreds of thousands of meters tall immediately enshrouded Weary Tooth and swallowed a surfer mercilessly like a tide.
The hundred 'solar sails' all bulged. The glamorous runes carved on the surface of the sails glittered one after another as they absorbed the immense spiritual energy contained in the solar prominence crazily.
Although the solar prominence seemed intimidating, its temperature was in fact extremely low. It was only five thousand to eight thousand degrees. It was incomparable to the scorching hell inside a star that could easily reach a million degrees.
It could even be regarded as a cluster of 'cold air' that was blown to the universe from the surface of a star.
It was exactly because of that that the Nuwa civilization was given the possibility of space travel through the solar prominence.
However, even the 'cold air' of 'five thousand to eight thousand degrees' was still a rather torturous test for Weary Tooth, which had been barely repaired, and the members inside.
Everybody had put on the Mustard Suit and the Crystal Suit of the Imperium. Crouching inside the protective gel, they listened to the dull noises and the sounds of metal being twisted when the torrents of the sun hit the shell of the starship while they performed their Cultivation arts in silence to strengthen their belief and soul, or they gritted their teeth and prayed to everything that they believed in!
"Ahhh!"
Even so, a lot of Yuanying and Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators could not help but bellow under the blast of the torrents of the sun!
Under the repetitive blast of the solar prominence, Weary Tooth turned into a translucent crimson crystal and gradually melted.
"M-Lord Wang, let's initiate a space jump now!"
Heiye Lan was greatly shocked. She shrieked at Long Yangjun, "Our shell is about to be melted!"
"Wait a moment. We haven't absorbed enough spiritual energy from the solar prominence yet!"
Narrowing her eyes, Long Yangjun put on an excited smile as she stared at the parameters on the interface of the mainframe crystal processor. "The spiritual energy and the power of the sun right now may not be enough for us to jump to our destination precisely!"
All kinds of earsplitting noises were echoing inside Weary Tooth. The lights were flickering, and sparks were bursting out everywhere.
Even Li Yao was looking at Long Yangjun with a pale face.
The shell of Weary Tooth had completely turned crimson, like a lone spark in the middle of a furious fire. It would be melted in a few seconds!
"Now is the time!"
Long Yangjun was in high spirits. Her eyes glittering, she shrieked and smashed the control menu hard. "Universe, we … we are back from the Ancient Sages Sector!"
Hoho! Hoho! Hoho! The fifth chapter of 'Rise' began. Passion doubled, blood doubled, and the competition of beliefs doubled! (To be continued.)
