Chapter 84: Thousand Revolution Array
Translator: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales
All kinds of thoughts were boiling and surging inside Tang Xiu’s mind about Gu Xiaoxue’s Master, as the feeling of déjà vu was becoming more intense inside his heart. But still, he felt that the timeline was wrong. He lived in the Immortal World for 10 millennia, and only 1 year had passed on Earth. But, 6,500 years ago Gu Yan’er went missing in the Immortal World. Even if she accidentally came to Earth, she should have entered a year timeline on Earth.
If… If she had been on Earth for decades, would it mean that she had been living for hundreds of thousands of years in the Immortal World?
After carefully analyzing the facts and reasoning deeply, Tang Xiu felt that the matter was becoming stranger. But, as he looked at the extremely cold expression on Gu Xiaoxue’s face, he fell into a silence.
He had yet to have sufficient relationships to probe further! Empathy and emotional quotient were not his forte, but he was a highly intelligent person to begin with. [1]
He perhaps lacked a lot of things in engaging with human relationships and feelings. But with his high intelligence, he believed that he was capable of analyzing almost everything and handling them. Gu Xiaoxue didn’t want to tell him anything. And he had no abilities to pry it out forcefully from her. Therefore, he could only suppress the curiosity and no longer probe any further.
But still, piles of worries filled him. Because, even though he had long known his wife and brother for hundreds and even thousands of years, he still got betrayed in the end due to their own benefits. And now, could his First Apprentice even still remember him as her Master? After all, an extremely long time had been passed. Would she even have the loyalty and feelings of a master and disciple?
Upon seeing the silent Tang Xiu, a self-satisfied expression re-emerged on Gu Xiaoxue’s face again as she then grunted, “If you want to see my Master, it’s actually not that impossible. As long as you can breakthrough to the third layer, 3 months later I can take you to see her. However, judging by your cultivation, let alone breaking through the third layer, even when you enter the second layer, you will be severely injured and have to withdraw.”
“Continue to lead the way, please!”
An extremely firm conviction could be felt from Tang Xiu’s tone and expression.
Gu Xiaoxue sneered, “You really are someone who won’t stop until you hit the wall! And it seems that you won’t shed tears if you do not see the coffin yourself! Fine! Since you insist, don’t blame me for not reminding you if you’re out with severe injuries. Let’s go!”
100 meters ahead…
They were stopped by a security guard in a suit, “Little Boss, Master Shao and Master Miao have come, they are waiting for you before the Thousand Revolution Array.”
With a frown, Gu Xiaoxue said, “How come those two are here? Two years ago, they were trapped in the second layer, and they had no abilities to break into the third layer. Much more, their injuries were quite severe. Could they have recuperated from their injuries and improve their cultivation in these 2 years?”
The security staff said, “They do seem to have improved.”
Gu Xiaoxue turned her head and glanced at Tang Xiu. Then, she strode toward the Thousand Array Revolution’s direction. She felt bored as well as lonely recently. The Everlasting Feast Hall had people to manage operations, and she was only practicing and cultivating all the time. But today, she encountered Tang Xiu, who she felt was quite interesting, so she never thought that those two men would come at this time.
Deep in the woods…
A square plaza was surrounded by the lush and verdant greeneries. The open plaza was not too big, and had jadeites placed on each corner. 2 middle-aged men sat cross-legged near the corner as their eyes swept over toward the plaza in front of them with profound expressions on their faces.
“Brother Miao, how big of a chance do you think you have this time?” Shao Mingzhen broke the silence and asked.
Miao Wentang confidently said, “80%.”
Shao Mingzhen was surprised, “You’re that confident?”
Miao Wentang faintly smiled and said, “Brother Shao, I think you’re more confident than me, right? People who haven’t tried to break the Thousand Revolution Array might not know that this is not a Killing Array. This Formation Array seems to be deployed by a certain cultivator to foster his or her disciples. As long as we don’t recklessly rush trying, we don’t need to be worried about losing our lives due to injuries. But, even getting injured it is fine, really. Haven’t you also benefitted from the Thousand Revolution Array 2 years ago?”
Shao Mingzhen nodded and smiled, “Indeed. The person who created this Thousand Revolution Array is absolutely a genius in cultivation techniques. His strength definitely has reached a terrifying degree. Frankly speaking, if possible, I really want to study under the person who created this Array.”
“Haha, we do have the same thought!”
Miao Wentang laughed heartily.
“Ah, the two of you seem to be unsatisfied, even if you want to challenge the Thousand Revolution Array again. If my memory doesn’t fail me, you have already challenged the Array 3 times. According to my Master’s custom, you need to pay 1 million yuan the fourth time you challenge the Array again. Pay it up first before you enter!” Gu Xiaoxue walked slowly along with Tang Xiu. Her expression was tranquil, even though a trace of coldness could be felt from her tone.
Upon seeing Gu Xiaoxue and Tang Xiu walking together, Shao Mingzhen and Miao Wentang were astonished as to guess about Tang Xiu’s origin. But still, they hastily stood up and picked up the leather suitcase at their side, handing it over to Gu Xiaoxue and saying, “We have prepared the money, please accept it.”
Gu Xiaoxue motioned a few security guards nearby as they took the two suitcases away, opening it and confirming the amount, and then quickly carried the cash and left.
“Ah Er, sound the Everlasting Bell!”
“Yes!”
The big man cupped his fist and bolted toward the distance.
A few minutes later…
“Dong dong dong…”
The bell sounded 18 times, as the sounds echoed in the vicinity and struck everyone’s ears inside the Everlasting Feast Hall. A lot of guests came out from their private dining rooms as they were surprised to listen to the bell’s sound, and inquired about it from the attendants.
“It’s the Everlasting Bell, some people will challenge the Thousand Revolution Array.”
“18 bells. Each person would be 6, so there are 3 people that will challenge the Array.”
“Martial artists will challenge the Array as the screening test to become our Honorable Guests.”
“The Everlasting Bell has been evoked. Everyone can go to the scene to watch.”
“The guests can broaden their horizons today.”
