Master of Strange Dao

Yu Ziqing was truly unperturbed, scoffing at the fellow who claimed there was no way to contact the outside from here. It seemed his boasts were boundless.

The Seventh Floor ring in his hand, even though it turned quite sluggish according to An History Book, wasn't affected at all by leaving messages.

What kind of shoddy Trapping Array could possibly block the Seventh Floor ring?

Yu Ziqing only glanced a few times and knew he couldn't break this Big Array, completely in the dark.

He decided to seek external help.

Closing his eyes, he began to contact Yang.

A moment later, Yang walked up from the staircase and, seeing Yu Ziqing, chuckled cheerfully.

"You just left and already got yourself into trouble?"

"A bit of trouble, I've been trapped by a Big Array."

"Hahaha..." Yang laughed heartily for quite some time.

Yu Ziqing, needing help, watched Yang laugh soundlessly, tolerating it.

Once Yang had his fill of laughter, he finally spoke.

"What kind of Big Array?"

"It's said to be the Eight-direction Sand Sea Array. Inside, the sky is full of yellow sand, and it has eight steles in all directions. Also, that person said a blessed land was refined into this Big Array."

"Oh, what did you do to provoke someone to trap you with such an elaborate setup? They want to kill you." Yang exclaimed in shock.

"That person said the Big Array will dissipate on its own after a year."

"Is this your first day stepping out? Your family's idiots and hungry ghosts wouldn't believe such ghost tales." Yang seized the chance to tease Yu Ziqing.

"..."

Yu Ziqing fell silent.

Although he didn't believe it either, they had been enemies before, and the opponent had dared to move against him last time, abducting him and sending him to a deadly place.

Now, even if they did not dare to kill him directly, there was no reason they wouldn't dare to trap him to death.

He also felt that the so-called one year was just a delay tactic, and everything would be settled after that year.

But having said that aloud, it did indeed sound rather foolish.

"Let's talk about this Big Array first then."

Yu Ziqing conjured an image from his mind showing the array, and let Yang examine it.

After a few glimpses, Yang nodded.

"Correct, it's definitely the Eight-direction Sand Sea Array.

This Big Array was created by a certain forebear long ago in the Sand Sea Forbidden Land. It took three hundred years of fluctuating alongside the sand sea for them to achieve enlightenment and create this Big Array.

It greatly diminishes great strength, imposing severe restrictions on those who practice Body Cultivation or the Demon Clan cultivating in beast forms, such as Fierce Beasts.

A blessed land has also been refined into this place. With your strength, it's absolutely impossible to break out forcefully.

If it were a Ninth Tier Body Cultivator, or perhaps a village chief at the Eighth Tier, they might be able to forcibly break out.

Moreover, once the array formation is activated, it will shelter Mt. Meru in a mustard seed, just like a real blessed land, leaving only an entrance in the outer world.

With a blessed land as the basis, further connecting to the earth's energy, keeping this Big Array running for a few thousand years would be no problem, according to its current operation.

If the other party covers up that last bit of the entrance left outside, even if your bones rot inside, nobody might discover it.

So, I'm saying, who exactly did you offend? They aren't willing to kill you themselves, yet they went to such lengths to trap you to death?"

"It was that guy who had abducted me and sent me to the White Sun Evil Cult before."

"A Seventh Tier Cave Void Realm guy can go to such lengths? Just refining a blessed land into the array isn't something a Cave Void Realm Cultivator could achieve." Yang naturally didn't believe it.

"I, of course, know it's not something he could do. Now, it involves the Shadow Department, and is likely related to the Shadow Chief, Ye Jiuyuan. I had just been to the Imperial City of Dali. He isn't hiding it anymore. Even at the risk of angering me, he wants me to hurry and leave the Imperial City."

"You left the Imperial City of Dali?"

"Yes, if I didn't leave, that guy would definitely have other ways to force me out. He's not hiding anymore, and will naturally use more intense methods. That's why I left, to see what exactly he wants to do. Hence, I'm in this situation now.

I used to think the guy wearing the metal mask was Ye Jiuyuan's man, so no matter what, he wouldn't dare, just after I left the Imperial City of Dali, to trap me to death.

I'm not close to him, but I can tell that his methods are somewhat simple and crude, but he sits very straightforwardly, and he's very good at maintaining his boundaries, not likely to make deadly enemies.

It's unreasonable for him to act so crudely and obviously now."

Yu Ziqing reflected, feeling that he might have misjudged.

"Oh, that makes sense. I don't know this Ye Jiuyuan either, or have any familiarity with him. But since he holds the Chief position and you were there to benefit Dali, and there were no open grievances between you, he indeed shouldn't target you openly. Apart from offending someone, it makes no sense.

No wonder you looked like a fool before, thinking he didn't want to kill you."

Yu Ziqing's face darkened as Yang, seizing an opportunity, relentlessly mocked him.

"Enough of that, just tell me how I can leave here without being noticed and without destroying this Big Array."

"Stop dreaming; do you think every Big Array can be exited simply by using some skills?

They've refined a small blessed land as the base of the Big Array, making it like a real blessed land, a complete small world of its own, perfectly spherical and infinitely cycling.

The only loophole is not in the array but outside it.

To hide that outside loophole is all too easy; just a concealment array to hide the aura, hidden within a couple of hundred miles, and for a thousand or eight hundred years, no aimless wanderer might stumble into it.
