lightsnοvεl Lin Mu saw the standing figure of the Saintess and wondered what she was thinking.

"They should be reaching the Celestial Realm in a few days' time." The Saintess spoke sensing Lin Mu's arrival.

"Is it because of Princess Feng Lan and Meihua?" Lin Mu asked.

"Indeed… they'll have to go through a few checks." The Saintess said before turning around. "Hopefully they get through with ease." Lin Mu replied. "The Ever Spring Mistress invited me to her domain as well." He added.

"Of course she did… She probably wants you to cook for her again." The Saintess knew how the mind of the Ever Spring Mistress worked.

"I won't mind." Lin Mu said. "Plus, I think it'll be interesting to see how her Domain is as well as the fruits and herbs that grow there." He added.

"Hmmm, her Domain does have a lot of plants. It is specialized in it." The Saintess nodded. "We might be able to go there, eventually." "How far is it though?" Lin Mu questioned. "From the Serpent Moon Sect I mean." He clarified.

"Hmm… The Ever Spring Mistress lives in the territory of the East Celestial Court. So getting to her isn't that difficult. We just have to take around three Teleportation Arrays to get there from the Serpent Moon Sect." The Saintess answered. "It should take around a year for each Teleportation arrays so about three years to get there." She added.

"Three… THREE YEARS!? And that too with teleportation arrays!?" Lin Mu didn't know if the Saintess was joking with him. "Isn't teleportation almost instant?" "It's not." The Saintess denied right away. "Especially at the distances that need to be covered in the Celestial Realm… it takes much longer." She explained.

"If Teleportation takes three years… how long would it take to travel there normally?" Lin Mu asked next.

"Anywhere between a thousand to a hundred thousand years, depending on your abilities as well as the danger you face." The Saintess said calmly.

Lin Mu didn't know what to think of it. Three years of travel was almost a tenth of his age. To spend that much on just travel seemed mind boggling to him.

"To a Celestial… three years is not even a single cultivation session. It may as well be three weeks to us." The Saintess replied, sensing Lin Mu's shaken emotions.lightsnovel

It was indeed an astounding thing to learn that many mortals wouldn't even be able to comprehend. Even for immortals, it was a bit too much to bear. But once one became a Celestial, it all came naturally to them.

It was normal for the world around them to become a mere blur at that point. A single cultivation session might extend for thousands of years at that point and they still might not progress at all. Such was the life of a Celestial.

The Saintess let Lin Mu digest this for a couple of minutes before he spoke again.

"Wait… if it takes that long to use the Teleportation Array, then how did the Ever Spring mistress reach the Rust Sky world so fast?" Lin Mu questioned in doubt.

"It's all about the location of the arrays and distance between the various Immortal worlds. The Ever Spring Mistress lives close enough to the Eastern Celestial Court and has direct access to the Teleportation Arrays. She's basically at the main hub for teleportation already and can do it quickly. Plus, the arrays that allow entry back into the Immortal world are much faster. Especially the ones operated by the Celestial court and the Immortal Court. They are of the highest quality and allow the fastest travel. That is also why most cultivators want to use them, but the cost of using them is prohibitory for the majority. There are private arrays that are made by various powers and organizations that work with each other, and these are usually slower but cheaper too.

And depending on what area of the Celestial Realm you are in, there might not be an Official Teleportation Array made by the Celestial Court there. As such, you'll have to rely on the private Teleportation Arrays set up by other powers.

This is the case for the Serpent Moon Sect too. We have to take our private array to another location, before taking a private teleportation array there to an official teleportation junction of the Celestial court.

And from there, its easy to switch between the various regions of the Celestial Realm. The distance between the various Celestial worlds also changes with the movements in the void. After all, the worlds aren't exactly fixed. You of all people, should know that traveling through the void is not easy and situations can change very easily. Sometimes there are also Spatial Disturbances in the void which make teleportation risky and the channels need to be modified. The arrays do this automatically, but this obviously adds to the time needed to teleport. Thus, being safer adds extra time to it all. Of course, there are also unsecured teleportation channels that give the shortest route, but you may as well jump into the sun at that rate." The Saintess gave Lin Mu a quick rundown on how things worked in the realm above.

It was quite enlightening for Lin Mu and this was the first time he was getting an idea of just how massive the Celestial Realm really was.

"Though… There are exceptions to it." The Saintess added, making Lin Mu raise his brows. "If there is a Spatial Master, they can very well teleport themselves to different locations depending on their own skill level." She added, clearly hinting at him.

'Of course… I have the First Facet of the Four Faceted Nebula… Warp basically allows that.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

He hadn't used it so far, thus didn't know how long it took to teleport using Warp, but hoped that it wouldn't be too long. At the very least, from what the Saintess had said, teleportation within the Immortal Realm was faster, and by that logic it should be even faster in the Mortal Realm.
