Xiaosuisui quickly nodded, agreeing with her grandfather’s words.
"That’s right, he’s gone mad. After he activated the Array of Heaven, he threw me and my seventh uncle right into it. My seventh uncle and I know nothing about the Array of Heaven! We just stumbled in here."
"Yun Yi, that old scoundrel! This is outrageous bullying! To think he’d take advantage of my Ji Family lacking strong members and dare to treat you and your seventh uncle like this!"
Ji Shang was going insane. At this moment, he truly wished he could immediately rush to that realm he could no longer reach and slay that old scoundrel Yun Yi with his sword!
"Who says our Ji Family has no one? Grandfather, you can’t just say things like that. Our Ji Family has many people!" Xiaosuisui quickly rebutted when she heard Ji Shang.
"You’re just a child; you don’t understand anything. Never mind. I can’t go to the realm where you live now anyway. The important thing is to help you get out of the Array of Heaven."
Xiaosuisui nodded fiercely and quickly gave Ji Shang a thumbs up, exclaiming in her clear, bright voice, "Grandfather, you’re so smart!"
Her childlike, adorable voice warmed his heart, and Ji Shang was overjoyed.
"You’re such a clever little imp! Let me tell you, this Array of Heaven isn’t just a single Array of Heaven. There are four Arrays of Heaven in total. To successfully break them, you need to activate the arrays in the east, south, west, and north directions simultaneously."
"Ah!"
Xiaosuisui was dumbfounded. They needed to activate four arrays simultaneously, but they had already passed two Levels. Doesn’t this mean that she and her seventh uncle will be trapped in the Array of Heaven forever?
As Xiaosuisui thought this, she heard Ji Shang’s voice continue.
"Suisui! You haven’t passed the Third Level yet, so there’s still time. Listen to your grandfather. Once you and your seventh uncle get past the Third Level, don’t take another step forward. Your cultivation is low, and you don’t have any immortal-source Spiritual Power. You can’t break open an exit yourselves as I did back then. In that case, if you want to leave without completing the Fourth Level, there’s only one way."
Ji Shang had said a lot, but Xiaosuisui hadn’t paid much attention to most of it. However, she did catch that last sentence.
"Grandfather, do you really have a way?"
"Of course, I have a way. Wait a moment. I’ll go out first and try to find a..."
"Find what?"
"You are currently challenging... Yunzhou Island is at sea and lies to the east. This means you are tackling the eastern cardinal direction. For that, you need a dragon—an azure dragon."
"A dragon?"
Xiaosuisui was extremely surprised. Her mind couldn’t help but recall the scene they had witnessed above the vortex during the Second Level. Thus, she exclaimed in sudden realization, "So that’s how it is!"
"Hmm? Do you have an idea?"
Ji Shang was still wondering where he would go to find a dragon to send in for his precious granddaughter to pass the level after he got out of here! He hadn’t figured it out yet when he heard Xiaosuisui’s words, so he asked casually.
"Previously, when we were in the vortex watching Big Black undergo his tribulation, an image appeared within the Celestial Thunder. It depicted an image from the time our Tianling Continent’s Ancestor Zhou was sealing the Great Wizard and was ambushed. A dragon appeared in that image. According to Big Black, that was the last dragon on our Tianling Continent."
"Who’s Big Black? How many of you are in this Array of Heaven?"
Instantly, Ji Shang felt his scalp tingle. He knew that to successfully pass through this Array of Heaven, there should only be one yin and one yang, one black and one white, entering simultaneously and surviving until the end. Otherwise, black and white would be reversed, yin and yang would become imbalanced, leading to those who entered being crushed by the array!
After asking this question, he couldn’t help but recall her pet, Xiaobai, which Xiaosuisui had mentioned when she previously gave him several small, dark, and glossy Little Balls!
His mind couldn’t help but start buzzing again.
"Big Black is a black python I took in when I passed Black Water Ridge on my way to Yunzhou Island. After my seventh uncle and I entered the Array of Heaven, it followed us in too. Just now, when we were passing the Second Level, it seized the opportunity to undergo a tribulation. Now it’s in the Jiao Transformation Realm."
Ji Shang...
Alright! At this very moment, a whole series of ’grass’ characters seemed to be spinning in both his heart and mind!
This works too? You and your seventh uncle are really lucky!
