Suddenly, she sensed the presence of a Qi, one that felt incredibly familiar and intimate, compelling her to draw near.
Following this Qi, she took two deep breaths and suddenly felt sothing extending into her limbs and bones.
She felt her connection to sothing... strengthen.
She closed her eyes and began to ditate on the spot. Closing her eyes, she focused her spirit, cald her heart, and severed all her conscious connections. After completing all this, she felt an imnse suction force, and then...
"Suisui!"
Ji Youzhi had been ditating on the spot, waiting for Xiaosuisui. He had originally assud that, no matter what, he would have to wait at least several hours before Xiaosuisui erged. But to his utter surprise, Xiaosuisui ca out in less than an hour.
Ji Youzhi went forward and called Xiaosuisui’s na twice, but there was no response. He reached out and gently pushed Xiaosuisui’s shoulder, but she didn’t move at all. He pushed harder, yet he still couldn’t move her.
Strange, how could this be?
Suddenly, Ji Youzhi saw sothing slide down from Xiaosuisui’s wrist.
He took a closer look and saw it was a shrunken version of Great Black.
"Great Black! What happened to you two in there? Why is Suisui completely unresponsive? I can’t wake her no matter how I call!"
Great Black coiled its body, held its head high, and said in a deep, resonant voice, "It was terrifying! What happened inside was simply unbelievable!"
Great Black shook its head, its horns swaying back and forth, a sight Ji Youzhi found quite comical.
Ji Youzhi, however, was in no mood to appreciate its comically swaying head. He pressed urgently, "What exactly happened in there?"
"I don’t know what happened to Master, but what I witnessed was incredibly shocking."
"What do you an, you don’t know? Weren’t you two together when you went in?"
"Master and I did enter together, but we were separated right after we went inside. In what I witnessed, there was no trace of Master, only my own destiny."
"What on earth are you talking about? Why can’t I understand a single word?"
Listening to all this was giving Ji Youzhi a splitting headache. He grew agitated and continued to press Great Black for answers.
But Great Black’s responses weren’t anything he could comprehend. Just then, Xiaosuisui suddenly opened her eyes.
"Uncle Seven! Stop questioning Great Black. What it experienced was different from what I went through."
"Suisui! How are you? Was it very dangerous in there? What did you experience inside?"
Hearing Xiaosuisui’s voice, Ji Youzhi quickly rushed over to her and asked his questions.
Xiaosuisui shook her head and looked at Great Black. "Although we weren’t in the sa place after entering, I believe you’ve seen and understood what you needed to."
Great Black nodded and said in its deep, resonant voice, "I understand now, Master. After you leave, when do you plan to co back for ?"
Xiaosuisui smiled. This scroll isn’t Eldest Uncle’s Probing Dream Scroll; it’s actually just a scroll capable of recording so major past events and their solutions. Used well, it’s a magical artifact; used poorly, it’s just a piece of waste paper.
Then again, that doesn’t seem quite right either, she mused. I always feel like there’s sothing more to this scroll that I haven’t discovered yet.
"What on earth are you two talking about? Why can’t I understand a single thing you’re saying?"
Ji Youzhi had initially been overjoyed to see Xiaosuisui and Great Black erge. But after all his questioning, he still hadn’t understood the slightest detail of what had happened, and he was growing quite frustrated.
"Uncle Seven! We can leave now."
"Ah! Really? When are we leaving? Didn’t they say we can’t break the Dragon-Locking Array of the Fourth Level? If we can’t pass the Fourth Level, then how can we get out of here?"
Ji Youzhi fired off a barrage of questions. If Xiaosuisui hadn’t known what he was truly trying to ask, his rapid-fire inquiries would have surely given her a splitting headache!
"Uncle Seven, don’t worry. We’ve already cleared the first three levels. This Fourth Level naturally won’t be a problem."
Xiaosuisui stood up, went over to take down the banner scroll, and intended to put it into her Qiankun Sleeve. Unfortunately, her Qiankun Sleeve was already cramd full. So, holding the scroll, she casually tossed it to Ji Youzhi.
"Uncle Seven, please keep this for ! Take it back to Eldest Uncle and let him study it!"
Her doting Uncle Seven, overjoyed, obediently put the scroll away. He was very compliant!
The instant the scroll was put away, the heavens and earth suddenly quaked. The mist dissipated, and a swirling black hole materialized before them.
Ji Youzhi, Xiaosuisui, along with Great Black and the unconscious Xiaobai, were all pulled into the black hole together!
