"Are you wishing to join Dad?"
Chiang Xiao gave a nod in agreement.
"In that case, we'll head to D State to locate a secure spot for positioning the Talisman Diagram, which means we must check whether it functions properly when set down not on a body."
Just moments ago, prior to his attempt to activate the portion of the Talisman Diagram attached to himself, Chiang Xiao had suddenly materialized.
That indicated the possibility that the part he held required no activation, serving instead as a drawing force.
On the other hand, the segment Chiang Xiao gripped demanded relocation, requiring it to be triggered.
Given this, his own piece might also be positioned in a location.
Meng Xinian's thoughts raced ahead swiftly.
The same idea had crossed Chiang Xiao's mind.
"We should return and give it a shot."
Following their exchange, the pair swam together toward the far bank.
The Talisman Diagrams they clutched ignited on their own.
Upon arriving at the other side, they switched into fresh attire inside the vehicle before heading back home by car.
When they finally arrived, dawn was almost breaking, but the thrill and vitality from their trial kept sleep far from their minds.
Thirst struck, so they sipped Spirit Spring Water; hunger hit, and they munched on treats and dried meat, staying energized throughout.
Chiang Xiao sketched out two additional Talisman Diagrams, setting one half in the study for the experiment, as Xinian carried the other half into the kitchen. Activating his portion caused him to appear right away in the study.
Thus, this approach proved viable as well.
The next step involved testing over a distance of a thousand miles.
For experiments at different ranges, Chiang Xiao created numerous Talisman Diagrams.
Once Meng Xinian had eaten his fill and loaded the vehicle with multiple vials of Spirit Spring Water along with abundant snacks and meat jerky, he departed.
They planned to conduct checks at predetermined points.
With him gone, Chiang Xiao kept crafting the Thousand Miles Talisman Diagram, aware it stayed dormant until split into halves.
After producing a good number, she also crafted a few Illusionary Talisman Diagrams. Although time constraints prevented capturing a live chicken for testing that day, distant travels could uncover unexpected chances.
Afterward, she stashed two halves of the Talisman Diagram securely away in the bedroom.
She bundled the leftover halves into a compact sack, preparing to hand one over to Meng Xinian, allowing him to rush back home from any location swiftly.
Such a measure would prevent him from encountering lethal perils once more.
During dire straits, activating the Talisman Diagram would bring him back.
In moments where survival hung by a thread, what concern would there be for strange happenings or revelations?
Having readied sufficient talismans, she bathed, prepared a meal, and then rested briefly.
At half past eleven, the scheduled moment with Meng Xinian had arrived.
During that short span, he could have covered several hundred miles by driving.
Prior to triggering the Talisman Diagram, an impulse led Chiang Xiao to experiment with teleporting an object in her grasp too, so she seized a pillow at random and then initiated the Talisman Diagram half.
On this occasion, the gale roaring by her ears raged even more savagely and intensely.
It evoked the terror of plummeting from a sheer precipice.
That feeling of freefall carried a chilling dread.
A touch of unease gripped Chiang Xiao inescapably.
Besides, the experience dragged on far longer than previous attempts.
Dizziness clouded her thoughts, while an ominous dread swelled in her chest, prompting a sudden recollection: if the gap proved too vast for traversal, what fate awaited her post-teleportation?
Might she stay trapped in this swirling vertigo, forever barred from coming back?
