Chapter 663: Chapter 663 - 653 Uncle Seven! Has anyone ever said you look like a goof?_2

"But now, you can think, give examples, and make your own judgments. Your mind, indeed, just as your eldest maternal uncle said, is growing rapidly. Tell me, your Seventh Uncle, is this truly the effect of a mind-reading ability?"

Xiaosuisui heard this and couldn’t help but close her eyes tightly, even wanting to cover her ears.

"Suisui, are you trying to tell me that everything has been too rushed since we arrived on the island? Were they so rushed that they didn’t even have much time to talk to us, using all their means to enhance our abilities? Did they hastily activate the Array of Heaven because time was limited, forcing us to enter at this very moment?"

Xiaosuisui suddenly opened her eyes. Seventh Uncle was still the same Seventh Uncle; the title of Divine Hunter was not earned for nothing.

"Seventh Uncle, Grandmother said, ’To ascend to the Nine Heavens, one must pass through the Array of Heaven!’"

"You... what did you say?"

"Seventh Uncle! But we can’t pass through it!"

"Can’t pass through? But you should know, what will happen to us if we don’t pass through?"

Hearing this, Ji Youzhi couldn’t help but become extremely anxious, standing up abruptly.

"I know, but that’s hundreds of lives. Seventh Uncle, do you believe me?"

Xiaosuisui turned her head, her eyes fixed on Ji Youzhi, revealing a firm determination.

"Of course!"

"Seventh Uncle, if you believe me, then I can find a different path. I will definitely find a way to leave this Array of Heaven without having to pass through it!"

"But Suisui, if we do that, we will be in great danger! Although I don’t know what will happen if we pass through this Array of Heaven, or what will become of Yunzhou Island? This is Yunzhou Island’s choice! We cannot overturn their decision for them!"

"But Seventh Uncle! What if we manage to pass through the Array of Heaven, but still can’t save them?"

"Suisui! Do you know something?"

"I feel as if I’ve already seen it: mountains and rivers inverted, the seas pouring back, the common people displaced and homeless. We will be powerless to stop it, and even more powerless to save them!"

"You..."

Ji Youzhi was greatly alarmed! He instinctively clutched his heart, utterly shocked.

"How... how could you have seen these things?"

Xiaosuisui was silent.

Perhaps it was due to absorbing her great-grandfather’s power, granting her strength surpassing that of a Grandmaster. Once she entered this Array of Heaven, she used the Celestial Dao’s providence to survey its entire expanse. She could foresee the outcomes of both failure and success!

"Do you possess the Divination Technique now? That’s... that’s Witchcraft! How do you know it? Did Princess Ata teach you?"

Xiaosuisui shook her head. "It’s not Witchcraft, but a connection between this array and the Celestial Dao. My Qi Observation Technique has reached a transformative state; this is the feedback I receive from communicating with Heaven and Earth. Great-grandfather and the others dared to send us in here because they knew I could pass through the Array of Heaven and break the Dragon-Locking Array. But they don’t know that once I break the Dragon-Locking Array, this small Yunzhou Island won’t be able to withstand the backlash from the Celestial Dao."

"What happens if it can’t withstand the backlash?" Ji Youzhi asked anxiously.

Xiaosuisui sighed and did not answer, instead closing her eyes again.

"Suisui!" Ji Youzhi grew anxious, calling out her name urgently.

Xiaosuisui continued to meditate, sealing off her five senses.

Ji Youzhi felt helpless and paced around her, incredibly anxious.

「Ji Mansion!」

Madam Ji had asked Huo Xing’Er to find Ji Youyuan.

Ji Youyuan had been feeling uneasy these past few days. He had been sitting and meditating in his room constantly, trying to elevate his state of mind.

Although he had a premonition that Suisui and Ji Youzhi were in danger, he knew he was powerless to help!

When Huo Xing’Er knocked on the door, Wang Dongxue opened it.

"Sister-in-law! Mother is looking for Eldest Brother!"

"Your eldest brother has been meditating in his room all this time. I’ve tried calling him several times, but I couldn’t get him to remove the barrier and come out to rest!"

"Please try calling Eldest Brother again, Sister-in-law. Suisui and Seventh Brother might be in danger."

"It’s that serious? Then I’ll try again."

Wang Dongxue turned and went into the house. However, before she even reached the bedroom, she saw that Ji Youyuan had already dispelled the barrier and come out.

"Husband, you..."

"Mother is looking for me. I’ll go and see. You mustn’t leave here; rest well!"

Ji Youyuan instructed Wang Dongxue and then left.

"Then, Sister-in-law, I’ll be going too."

Huo Xing’Er followed closely behind Ji Youyuan, her face filled with worry, all the way to Madam Ji’s room.

"Mother!"

Madam Ji was sitting at the stone table in her courtyard, upon which lay a roll of parchment.

"Look at this."

Ji Youyuan sat down and picked up the parchment. It contained some ancient records and incomplete information about the Array of Heaven.

"This Array of Heaven... it’s not complete."

"Exactly. Suisui and Seventh Brother have gone in!"

"What? This Array of Heaven is said to be overseas. Finding it depends entirely on serendipity. Back then, Father..."

"That’s right. Your father had a fortunate encounter, entered the Array of Heaven, and arrived at Yunzhou Island."

A hint of melancholy touched Madam Ji’s face.

"But he..."

"Mother, are you trying to say that Father might have also left this place by passing through this Array of Heaven?"

Madam Ji shook her head. "No! Your father shouldn’t have left through the Array of Heaven."

"He didn’t? Why are you so certain?"

"I just know."

Madam Ji was unwilling to say more and gestured for Ji Youyuan to continue looking at the parchment.

"Can you tell where the exit of this Array of Heaven is?"

Ji Youyuan shook his head. "I can’t. This is an incomplete Array Diagram. Mother, where did this diagram come from?"

"Your father. After he entered this Array of Heaven and couldn’t find a way out for a long time, he drew this. I had assumed that with your exceptional talent, having inherited your father’s Illusion Techniques and array knowledge, you would surely be able to discern its secrets."

Upon hearing this, Ji Youyuan couldn’t help but smile bitterly. "Mother! If you had given this Array Diagram to me ten years ago, I might have deciphered it. But now, you’re anxious to save Suisui and Seventh Brother; I naturally can’t figure it out on such short notice!"

"Even you can’t figure it out! It seems this is the will of Heaven!"
