Chapter 58: Heaven knows if this brat will sell me out?!

In a deep valley within the present world.

"Fine, my life is now tied to you."

"If you fail, I will remember you for the rest of my life."

Who on earth is this person?

Yi Lezhi looked at the fragmented memories constantly appearing in her mind, flicking the silver bell tied to her ankle; she reached out to pinch her crystal-clear jade foot, her face full of confusion.

Yo.

He's actually quite handsome.

During these days, these strange and bizarre memories kept surfacing in her mind, telling stories from ten thousand years ago.

There was a sect called the Zhenggang Sect, which was a famous sect of the time, and she was not only the chief disciple of the Zhenggang Sect but also bore the inheritance of a long-destroyed sect.

Blurred and even somewhat chaotic memories.

Made Yi Lezhi feel annoyed.

Let the world be flooded, I will just live my life happily and contentedly.

I will live my life just as I should.

Could these chaotic memories really get in my way?

It is late at night, so I will just sleep!

Hmph, Yi Lezhi lay down on the wooden bed, but the memories in her mind became clearer and more numerous.

"So annoying, who on earth is this person named Gu Jiangming?!"

Deep in the night within the capital, the Wang family courtyard remained brightly lit.

Wang Qinghe watched as the version of herself in the vision was pushed by Gu Jiangming into the teleportation array in the secret passage, sending her straight out of the Zhenggang Sect, while Gu Jiangming chose to stay behind in the Zhenggang Sect.

It made her so angry she was fuming.

But after the brief anger, Wang Qinghe's slightly unyielding eyes could not help but turn slightly red.

To be honest, Gu Jiangming's intentions were far too obvious; on one hand, he did not want her to suffer, and on the other, he must have considered her a burden.

I can treat myself like a fool, but you cannot treat me like a real fool under the guise of doing what is best for me.

Wang Qinghe also has her own emotions.

Does every man think that facing everything alone is a very impressive thing?

Bah!

If you die alone and leave me alive, I will be ten thousand times more miserable than you!

"Why cry." Wang Qinghe snorted, "He is just my husband from a past life; he deserves to die for being so reckless."

Though she said this, Wang Qinghe did not stop her actions, first going to find the three foolish sons who had escaped earlier.

Then she would go to the edge of Jiangyang Fishing Village to find that Dragon Princess.

After all, dragons are legendary deities; seeking her help is undoubtedly much better than fighting alone.

Wang Qinghe certainly could not just let Gu Jiangming throw his life away like that.

She also did not know if this connection with Gu Jiangming was reliable or not.

"He has his methods, and I have mine."

"As long as one is alive, there is hope."

Wang Qinghe looked at her cultivation level, stuck at the early stage of the Transformation Stage, and decided to sprint toward a higher cultivation realm starting now.

"Just you wait."

"Gu Jiangming."

【You left the Zhenggang Sect and found that the Nine Provinces were no different from usual; your next step is to find your three sons who also escaped the Zhenggang Sect, while exploring the changes across the Nine Provinces.】

【In the process, you decide to take the opportunity to visit the deity at the edge of Jiangyang Fishing Village.】

On the other side.

Gu Jiangming had already changed into the attire and mask from the Storage Ring of Lu Zhiyao.

Looking at the scene before him, Gu Jiangming was also in the midst of deep thought.

【According to some clues in the Storage Ring, you learn that the mysterious force you are in is called the Heavenly Dao; it has existed for a long time, and no one knows when it was founded, who leads it, or where its roots lie.】

【It is only known that their ultimate goal is to bring Great Harmony to the world and rebuild a human-centric order of Heavenly Dao.】

【And Lu Zhiyao, within this mysterious force called the Heavenly Dao, uses "Heavenly Array" as his codename and is listed among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Rankings.】

【Now, you have temporarily taken over his identity.】

【You took Yi Lezhi and followed the crowd to the base of the Heavenly Dao.】

【After a long flight, due to your lack of familiarity with the terrain of the Nine Provinces, you gradually lost your way and did not know where you were.】

【You saw layers of mountain ranges shrouded in mist; before even getting close, you felt a maze of arrays composed of tens of thousands of formations—not just Zhenggang Sect formations, but also secret techniques from other sects seemed to shroud the entire mountain range.】

【As you followed the crowd forward, the moment you stepped inside, the scene before your eyes dimmed.】

【Shortly after, your vision cleared, but Yi Lezhi's figure had disappeared from your side; you softly called out her name.】

【"Where are you?"】

【"I don't know."】

【Her tone was full of 'unease'.】

【"Gu Jiangming, you have ruined me."】

【"If I die here, I will remember you in my next life, the life after that, and the life after that! What on earth was I thinking, to actually agree to come here with you."】

【"I shouldn't have had this inexplicable curiosity!"】

Gu Jiangming took a deep breath.

He treated the Reincarnation World as a simulation, but the people inside did not; this was Gu Jiangming's oversight.

To a certain extent.

Gu Jiangming had indeed tricked Yi Lezhi.

【"Can you tell me exactly what the situation is like near you?" you soothe her, trying to keep her calm, "This will make it easier for me to find you."】

【"Since I brought you here, I will definitely save you and get you out."】

【"This is my promise."】

【Yi Lezhi seems to be intentionally making you feel guilty in order to gain the initiative; after hearing your promise, she is clearly much calmer.】

【"Above my head is an endless darkness," Yi Lezhi's voice rings out, "There is no moonlight, I cannot see the starry sky; it is like a completely pitch-black Heaven and Earth, but I can move."】

【"And behind me is a towering cliff, with no bottom in sight below. I touched the loose stones at the edge of the cliff; it is very steep, and there is no way to go down from here."】

【"I dare not gamble on whether my Spirit Qi can help me reach the bottom of this cliff."】

【"I can only walk forward."】

【"You must remember to keep talking to me."】

【"You don't need to say that," you say irritably, "You, a dignified cultivator at the Enlightenment Stage, are acting pitiful like this?"】

【"If I, this lady, didn't act pitiful, would you take me seriously?"】

【"You brat, you even guard against your own wife. You clearly know all sorts of array techniques and divine abilities, yet you pretend to be someone who doesn't understand anything. Do you really have the nerve?"】

【"Who knows if you, kid, would sell me out?"】

Gu Jiangming also laughs as he watches the content on the screen.

This Seventh Martial Aunt is quite interesting.

【"It's quite possible you're still pretending to be weak right now! Don't think I can't tell you're using a cultivation method of the Dragon Race, and you still haven't explained the matter of the Sword Intent True Explanation clearly."】

【"For so many years, Heaven and Earth Enlightenment has almost gone extinct; you are the first sword cultivator I, this lady, have met in a thousand years who has comprehended Sword Intent."】

【"Forget it, you had better keep hiding more; hide more, and I, this lady, will feel more at ease."】

【"When the time comes, just like Qinghe, take me away from here with deep affection."】

【"As for me... I'll lower my requirements for you. You don't need to cast amorous glances at me; just remember to take me along when you run for it. I will definitely remember your kindness, and there will be a place for you on the ancestral tablet at home; I'll make sure you're well-worshipped, kid."】

【Just at this moment, a voice rings out beside your ear.】

【"Heavenly Array... come with us."】

【A cultivator wearing a Bronze Mask just like you walks over with a leisurely gait. This person is exceptionally tall, and he looks down at you from above.】

【It is as if he is scrutinizing something.】

【"This is your first test for entering the Heavenly Dao."】

【His next sentence makes cold sweat trickle down your back.】

【"It is also to see if you have the qualifications to replace Lu Zhiyao and become the new Heavenly Array."】

【"Cherish this hard-won opportunity."】
