Techniques and Dao

Chapter 222 Who else would you rather me?
Among the dragon veins stretching across the rivers are auspicious sites known as the "Dragon's Head Position." One is Jinling, and the other is Chang'an. These two were the preferred capital cities for emperors of various dynasties, and it is said that establishing a capital here would ensure the prosperity of the dynasty.

The "Dragon Head Position" is also the weakest point of the dragon vein, so the gods set up a protective shield here called the "Chaodu Xuancheng".

Klin's Magic Academy first dispatched troops to Jinling, then attacked Chang'an. This caught Hua Sheng and the mage Ruo Kong, who were guarding the eastern and western fronts in the Dragon Vein Defense War, completely off guard. Using their cloud-riding techniques to return to Chang'an from Europe was simply too late, and the Jinling front could not be abandoned.

So, Little Strawberry hacked into the international satellite network to use the BeiDou satellite as a relay point for point-to-point jumps on the coordinate axis!

Using navigation signals, one jumps to the BeiDou satellite, and then from the BeiDou satellite to the coordinate axis of Chang'an. Little Strawberry calls this method of transmission "BeiDou Jump". This method seems similar to Hunyuan Dao, but because the BeiDou jumper cannot determine the target point during transmission, and the coordinates of one point face countless destination points, the probability of the jump successfully landing exactly in Chang'an is infinitesimally close to zero.

The BeiDou satellite is approximately 35,000 kilometers above the Earth's surface. If the instantaneous transfer described by Xiaocaozi were to be completed in 0.05 seconds, then the process of uploading the sender's information from the ground to the BeiDou satellite and back to the ground, combined with the straight-line distance between Paris and Xi'an at an altitude of 35,000 kilometers in space, would mean that the so-called "BeiDou jump" would cover a distance of nearly 80,000 kilometers in 0.05 seconds, requiring a speed exceeding 1.6 million kilometers per hour.

Slimming down the teleporter can reduce wind resistance to some extent. However, even with a smaller size, once the speed exceeds the Spirit Realm Point, it will still be burned to ashes by the atmosphere.

Therefore, Hua Sheng and Mie Ying failed before they could even enter the satellite communication channel during the Beidou jump.

The white-haired Shadowless, who had fallen into the air, flipped over and extinguished the flames on his body, shaking his head and saying, "This method is absolutely impossible! Such a jump is just courting death!"

At this point, the BeiDou satellite, designated 3IGSO2, had already moved away from the sky. This hop failed, so the only option was to wait for the next opportunity. The next BeiDou satellite, designated 3M16, will pass the same position again in two minutes and thirty-six seconds!
But as things stand, the next opportunity is meaningless. No one can succeed.

"Damn it! We can't just stand by and watch someone die!" Hua Sheng yelled into the headset, "Little Strawberry! Isn't BeiDou jump just three steps: uploading, finding the correct satellite channel, and downloading?"

Little Strawberry was startled by his voice and stammered, "Ah... um... yes!"

"So as long as you fly out of the atmosphere beforehand, you can prevent burns!"

Little Strawberry immediately replied, "That's true, but the download process on the ground is uncontrollable. The transmitter will enter the atmosphere above the destination at extremely high speed, and will also be burned to death due to the excessive speed!"

"Once we successfully arrive, we'll need something like a 'parachute' to slow down?"

Little Strawberry replied, "Since you all know magic, of course you can use magic to slow down the download speed to the ground..."

Mieying immediately rejected the idea: "No, the time is too short, the teleporter won't have enough time to cast the immortal spell!"

Hua Sheng pondered, "So we need to also transmit the deceleration spell used for landing to the destination via the Big Dipper."

Mieying then said, "These Beidou satellites are scattered like stars. Just as Little Strawberry said, if you don't know how to navigate, blind selection is impossible. And if you have to send another descent spell and arrive at the same place, the probability is even lower than a single transmission! Is it even worth trying?"

Mieying is right. A buffer zone must be built in the atmosphere between the Beidou satellite in Chang'an and the ground to allow the jumpers to slow down during their descent. The method of using the Prayer Lanterns in the Qiankun Defense War might have worked, but there's simply no time to prepare it now. Without the "Descent Incantation," the teleporters would be instantly burned to ashes upon arriving in Chang'an.

It's impossible for the Big Dipper to successfully jump once. If another celestial incantation were transmitted, it would be equivalent to two Big Dipper jumps. Such a coincidence is impossible in the world.

Suddenly, Tai Shang Xiao Jun's voice came through the earphones.

"Hey! I think that slowing barrier might work. It's the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation in the Qiankun Defense Battle! If HOPE activates the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation and performs the same 'Big Dipper Jump' on the Immortal Formation, and it happens to land in Chang'an, then it will be a great success!"

HOPE?!
Upon hearing this name, Hanamori immediately realized they were in Paris! Hanamori quickly replied, "Supreme Lord, do you mean you want HOPE to launch the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Array onto a satellite to achieve BeiDou jump?"

Tai Shang Xiao Jun replied, "That's right! They are all with me! The Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation was originally a defensive formation in the Qiankun Defense War. It can be deployed in the air, and the jumpers use this immortal formation barrier as a platform to reduce their falling speed!"

I have to admit that Tai Shang Xiao Jun's idea is brilliant! Perhaps HOPE can really launch it when he activates the immortal array.

However, the identity of the jumper remains a mystery. Who could distinguish countless paths in such a short time via satellite communication?! Not only must they be able to distinguish them instantly, but they must also ensure that the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation lands in the same place. If the formation is teleported elsewhere, the jumper will still lose their life.

Hanamori said, "If you can't tell where the road is, you could be transported anywhere."

The white-haired shadow said, "No, perhaps there's no need to discern. Faced with so many choices in an instant, any discernment is futile. Only intuition... no, that's not right! Intuition is useless too!"

She quickly denied what she had said.

The little strawberry in the earphones revealed the truth: "There's no choice at all, it's all about luck!"

That's one in four hundred trillion trillion trillion chance. And not just once, but this chance also has to be able to activate the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation, ensuring that the Immortal Formation jumps correctly as well.

With a probability of almost zero, it's less about luck and more about existing only in theory; it's a probability number with absolutely no practical significance.

"cut……"

The white-haired Shadow suddenly showed a look of disgust on her face, because she thought of someone.

Hua Sheng immediately understood when he saw Mie Ying.

That is the only name that can save Chang'an City at present.

People with that name shouldn't be here, much less kindly help them.

The world is full of such coincidences. Rather than saying they went looking for luck, it's more accurate to say luck found them.

At that very moment, Hua Sheng and Mie Ying simultaneously spotted the figure they both longed to see and dreaded on the distant horizon.

"If there is no limit to form, then that is the ultimate celestial limit!"

A proud and aloof face, a pair of eyes that look down on everyone. In those eyes, there is contempt for everything called probability, as if he himself is the darling of the heavens.

At the end of the long road, Tianjizi, his arms wrapped in bandages from the burns inflicted by the Platinum Dragon, strolled over and said in a disdainful tone:
"With this leap of the Big Dipper, who else but me?"
