Chapter 221 Big Dipper Leap
The battle to protect the dragon veins. And it's not just Nanjing.

To protect Chang'an, we must use boundless methods to destroy the already established Xuan City, the capital.

In Nanjing.

Master Ruokong, young monk Buxu, Immortal Master Jueguang, Immortal Master Yuran, and Xuanwen, a disciple of the Magic Academy, were attacked by a large magical army led by Christine, the head of the Summoning Department of the Magic Academy, as well as the Magic Academy's prized Gravity Nuclear Bomb. Although they repelled the army and withstood the Gravity Nuclear Bomb, they were all seriously injured.

Although the magical army retreated, the arrival of global computing power, coupled with the enhanced hexagram magic array, dealt a devastating blow to the defenses of Jinling.

Master Ruokong was accidentally stabbed in the heart and wouldn't last much longer. Thanks to the combined protection of everyone and Master Ruokong's Righteous Dharma Bright Tathagata Dharma Gate Formation, the protective layer of rosy light over Jinling has temporarily withstood the attack of the ultimate six-pointed star magic array, enhanced by global computing power.

At this time, Hua Sheng, far away in Paris, received a piece of bad news: neither he nor Mie Ying knew that there were actually two dragon veins, namely the Jinling Dragon Vein in Nanjing and the Chang'an Dragon Vein in Xi'an.

Jane had previously learned that the Demon School's attack on the Jinling Dragon Vein was only part of their battle plan, and afterwards, Jane was kidnapped by Hua Sheng and Mieying and taken to Nice. Therefore, the defense strategy discussed by Hua Sheng, Taishang Xiaojun, and Master Ruokong was all based on the Jinling Dragon Vein!
Under the leadership of Professor Madeline, Minister of the Ministry of Dark Arts, Klinsley Magic Academy prepared twelve groups of wizards to travel around the world from the very beginning and set up two ultimate six-pointed star magic circles. One of them was used to attack the Jinling Dragon Vein, while the other magic circle was used to launch a surprise attack on the unsuspecting Chang'an Dragon Vein!
Just as Klin Magic Academy had predicted, with Christine leading the magical army to Jinling, everyone focused all their attention on defending the city.

As global computing power arrived, the second ultimate six-pointed star magic array was activated, severely damaging the Chang'an Dragon Vein. As previously predicted, the Dragon Vein's passive defense mechanism, "Chaodu Xuancheng," manifested. Because "Chaodu Xuancheng" would reset everything within the city, the entire city of Xi'an, covering an area of ​​10,000 square kilometers and housing over 10 million people, was about to be destroyed in an instant.

Since no immortals were previously stationed along the other dragon vein, the only solution was to break through the "Chaodu Xuan City" from the outside to prevent it from resetting. Furthermore, while breaking through the Xuan City's protective barrier, they also needed to withstand the attack from a second ultimate six-pointed star magic array, powered by global computing power, just like Master Ruokong.

Even a high-ranking monk like Master Ruokong needed Hua Sheng and his group to inform him three hours in advance so he could make ample preparations. Now, with the dragon vein of Chang'an facing imminent disaster and time running out, where could they possibly find someone to guard it?

Even if we find the "second Ruokong" and can replicate another "Zhengfa Mingrulai Dharma Gate Formation", how do we get this person into Xi'an?

The dragon vein of Chang'an has been placed in a "dead place". Who will use what methods to "revive" it?
"BeiDou Jump!"

This is Zhang Jia's answer on the phone. She exclaimed, "I can use all the BeiDou satellites outside of Earth to build an information channel. The latency is about 20 to 30 milliseconds, and if it's instantaneous upload and download, it's about 40 to 60 milliseconds, which means instantaneous transfer can be completed in 0.05 seconds! Theoretically, it can teleport a fairy from anywhere to any coordinate on Earth. That's the name I've given to this transfer method: BeiDou Jump!"

Little Strawberry urged, "Tell me quickly, who's going to Xi'an!"

The Immortal Master Jueguang, located in Jinling, replied, "We currently have no strength left in Jinling City."

Having reverted to her original form and left the Paris "inverted space," Hua Sheng continued through the earpiece: "Mie Ying and I have just returned to the ground in Paris. If Xiao Cao Mei can teleport us from Paris to Xi'an, then Mie Ying and I can go there!"

He thought for a moment and continued, "Oh right, and there's also the Supreme Lord Xiaojun!"

There was no reply from Taishang Xiaojun in the earpiece, so Huasheng asked again, "Taishang Xiaojun! How are things on your end, Xiaojun?"

Then Xiao Jun's voice came through the earpiece, "Oh my god! I just went on a shopping spree with HOPE and those girls!! If you guys can help me out, you can save me from this misery!"

Immortal Master Jueguang then said, "The reduction of computing power by Taishang Xiaojun and HOPE can reduce the pressure on Jinling City. It is best not to act rashly unless absolutely necessary."

Hua Sheng replied, "Alright! Little Strawberry, now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to send Mie Ying and me to Xi'an first! Although we don't know if we can break through that so-called Chaodu Xuan City, we have two supreme magical artifacts, the Ruyi Jingu Bang and the Purple Flame Serpent Spear and the Fire-Tipped Spear, so it's worth a try!"

Master Jueguang said, "In such a critical situation, we must give it a try."

Hua Sheng replied through the earpiece, "Okay! Little Strawberry, activate the Big Dipper Jump you mentioned, and send me and Mie Ying to Xi'an! Use the Golden Cudgel and the Fire-Tipped Spear to destroy the capital city of Xuan City!"

Little Strawberry replied, "Wait... a moment... all done! Seventy-seven Beidou satellites have successfully connected! Now I'm sending the screen information to the headphones. Although the headphones don't have a screen, you all know magic, so figure out how to see it yourselves!"

About three seconds later, Little Strawberry shouted, "Message sent successfully!"

Hua Sheng and Mie Ying, standing on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, chanted an incantation and gestured with their hands, instantly creating a projection several thousand inches in size in the air in front of them.

The projection showed the positions of 77 Beidou satellites evenly distributed in the sky around the world that day. So many satellites orbiting the earth dazzled the viewer.

Hua Sheng quickly asked, "Wait! Little Strawberry! You mentioned BeiDou jump, which has so many satellite connection information channels. Which route should we take after we get up there?"

"Choose for yourself!"

"Didn't they say the transmission was completed in 0.05 seconds? How can they choose a route in such a short time? How many routes are there when so many satellites are linked together?" "No less than four thousand..."

"so much!!!"

"If we include different loops and paths with repeated transmissions, the number should be no less than four hundred quadrillion quadrillion..."

Hua Sheng's heart sank completely. It was only seventy-seven satellites, yet he never imagined there could be such an astronomical number of permutations and combinations.

The white-haired shadow shouted, "Let's give it a try! Although we can't reach Chang'an directly, if we can be teleported to the vicinity of Chang'an, we can find a way to fly there! We are now tens of thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and even being within a thousand miles is a world of difference!"

Little Strawberry replied, "Understood! In ten seconds, a Beidou satellite with the serial number 3IGSO2 will pass over Paris! The next Beidou satellite, serial number 3M16, will be in two minutes and forty-six seconds! Remember, the connection time between the channel and your ground is only seven seconds! You must jump into the satellite channel within this time!"

"Now is the only time! There's no time to lose!" The white-haired Shadowless held the Fire-Tipped Spear in his hand and grasped Hua Sheng's hand.

Little Strawberry started counting down: "Eight, seven, six, five..."

As the two looked up, while Hua Sheng was still searching for the passage in the sky, Mie Ying pointed to the southern sky and shouted, "Found it!"

"Where...where?" Hua Sheng looked up, still looking bewildered.

The little strawberry in the earphones is already counting down.

"Three! Two! One! BeiDou jump channel activated!"

A flash of silver light suddenly appeared in the sky, and a bright Beidou satellite streaked across the horizon like a shooting star!
"Hurry up as a law!"

Mieying tightly grasped Huasheng's hand and flew swiftly towards the southern sky! However, the satellite was extremely fast, and despite the two having already predicted its direction, they still couldn't catch up with its speed!

The little strawberry in the earpiece shouted: "It's not flying! Flying is too late. BeiDou jump requires entering the BDS channel! Otherwise, you're just flying onto a physical satellite, and you can't perform a BeiDou jump!"

Hua Sheng then began to understand what Xiao Caomei meant by "jumping." He meant to transform Hua Sheng and Mie Ying themselves into information and then transmit it via the Beidou satellite! Therefore, the so-called flying was impossible to achieve in an instantaneous transfer of 0.05 seconds!

Little Strawberry may be accustomed to transmitting data in the computer information world. As for information transmission, it is impossible to truly digitize the physical body for objects like Flower Bloom and Shadowless who have physical bodies.

Only immortals who do not have a physical body, or programs like Weiyu, can do this.

But now, we have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it!

Hua Sheng shouted to Mie Ying, "Let's try to shrink to the smallest particle size and jump around like particles!"

Mie Ying nodded, made a hand seal, and chanted, "Hurry, hurry, as the law commands!"

The two kept shrinking until they became a single point.

Instantly, the speed of these two points increased dramatically, transforming into two tiny fireballs. At the same time, Hua Sheng and Mie Ying felt their bodies enveloped in flames, the burning sensation causing excruciating pain!

In an instant, the two were thrown out of the satellite channel and fell from mid-air.

Hua Sheng hurriedly extinguished the flames on his body and shouted, "No! It's too fast! We humans and spirits can't possibly shrink to the size of particles. Anything with a physical form in this atmosphere will be burned to ashes!"

As the two fell, a figure rose into the sky in the opposite direction.

"Then let me try out this Big Dipper Jump!"

The speaker was Taishang Xiaojun. He threw down a bunch of various shopping bags from mid-air, and his shadow turned into a point of light, rushing toward the Beidou satellite that was speeding by!
