Chapter 703: Chapter 703 - 673 This Scroll is Unusual_2

Xiaosuisui shook her head and said quickly, "No! My maternal grandfather didn’t injure his head. I just think he’s like you, Seventh Uncle. He always seems a bit adorably clueless. But judging from his tone, it sounds like he’s doing very well. Seventh Uncle, you can rest assured!"

Ji Youzhi nodded, finally putting his mind at ease. "That’s good! By the way, did you ask him where he is now?"

Xiaosuisui shook her head. "No, I didn’t have time to ask!"

"Did you ask him... if... if he’s... alone?" Ji Youzhi stuttered out his question.

Xiaosuisui didn’t understand him at first. She opened her mouth. Then, just as she was about to shake her head, she finally understood. "Oh," she said, realization dawning. "I didn’t get to ask! Seventh Uncle, you shook me right out of the Dream Realm space!"

The corner of Ji Youzhi’s mouth twitched. He said, "You... you mean to say it was because I forcibly pulled you out of the space that you didn’t get to ask about his situation?"

Xiaosuisui blinked her large eyes, looking puzzled as she asked, "Isn’t that the case?"

Ji Youzhi was speechless. Alright! My fault!

"Master, if we don’t enter the Heart Espying Dream Scroll soon, we’ll be considered to have failed the trial," Dahei, coiled around Xiaosuisui’s wrist, suddenly spoke up to remind her.

Xiaosuisui and Ji Youzhi were startled, exchanging frantic glances. Both their eyes showed panic.

"Quick, check your Kaleidoscope! See if there are any records about it?"

Xiaosuisui hurriedly checked the Kaleidoscope, searching for records and solutions related to the Heart Espying Dream Scroll. "Found it! The records state that to get out, one must enter the Heart Espying Dream Scroll and comprehend the mysteries within!"

Upon hearing Xiaosuisui’s words, Ji Youzhi asked, "That means only one of us needs to go in, right?"

Xiaosuisui nodded. "That should be the case!"

"What are we waiting for then? Off you go!" The moment Ji Youzhi finished speaking, he casually grabbed Xiaosuisui by the collar of her clothes and tossed her in.

The instant Xiaosuisui entered the Dream Scroll, the Heart Espying Dream Scroll erupted in a brilliant white light. This light persisted for about ten breaths before it dimmed and faded completely!

Ji Youzhi let out a huge sigh of relief and whispered softly, "It seems we won’t be stuck at a disadvantage here!"

「Outside the Array of Heaven, the people on Yunzhou Island stared intently at the formation. They were all waiting for a beginning—the start of the Third Level—and also an end. The end of their own lives!」

However, only Yun Yi, Yun Cang, and Yun Kuo knew of this impending end. The others were completely unaware of the true danger posed by the Array of Heaven!

"Grandfather, the Third Level of the Array of Heaven has opened," Yun Kuo reported in a very calm voice.

Yun Yi nodded without speaking.

Yun Kuo also remained silent.

However, they could hear others nearby chattering incessantly among themselves.

"I heard that as long as someone can break through this Array of Heaven, we won’t be trapped on Yunzhou Island anymore."

"Indeed! I’ve heard that not only can we leave Yunzhou Island, but we’ll also enter a world where we can cultivate. They say it’s a place called Immortal Mountain, a true place of immortals!"

"That’s right! And not only that, I’ve heard there are Immortal Mountains overseas, known as the Overseas Thirteen Islands. If we break this Array of Heaven, we might connect with the Overseas Thirteen Islands. Then we’d become the Fourteenth Overseas Island!"

People indulged in their beautiful dreams, yearning for the future.

A bitter feeling welled up in Yun Kuo’s heart. None of the islanders knew the consequences of breaking the Array of Heaven. They all yearned for a new life. Perhaps it’s for the best, he mused. That way, when disaster strikes, their ignorance will spare them suffering.

「Meanwhile, inside the scroll, Xiaosuisui stood on an auspicious cloud, filled with doubt.」

Didn’t I enter the Heart Espying Dream Scroll? Why is there nothing here?

Xiaosuisui scratched her head in confusion, then looked left and right. Where on earth am I? she wondered, utterly perplexed.

So many clouds... Am I in the sky? Or the heavens? she muttered to herself, waving a hand. Nothing. She waved it again and continued to muse aloud, Didn’t they say the Heart Espying Dream Scroll directly accesses a person’s true inner world, a dream scroll where one can observe their past and future? So why, now that I’m in here, are there only layers upon layers of clouds?
