While writing a diary at Zongwu, Wang Yuyan falls in love with someone else.

In fact, the existence of an illusion array on Leigu Mountain is no secret, because people have tried to force their way in and explore it, and without exception, they have all been trapped.

In the end, some people escaped, but many more were trapped inside and died!

From then on, the "Precious Illusion Array" became infamous.

Zhao Tianhao and Zhao Qiying both knew about this.

However, the former did not know that Jiang Sishui was coming to find Wuyazi, while the latter believed that the "Zhenlong Illusion Array" existed in the original work and that Jiang Sishui had his own way of breaking the array.

So neither of them told him.

So, without really understanding what was going on, he stepped inside.

Fortunately, I had the "Sun Shadow Golden Wheel" to protect me!

The reason why Kumārajīva stopped Jiang Sishui was not out of kindness, but to save his life; there was another reason.

In Kumārajīva's view, those who came to the "Precious Chess Gathering" could not possibly be unaware of the "Precious Illusionary Array".

But Jiang Sishui insists on going down the path to death. Could it be that she has some kind of reliance on her?

Although Jiang Sishui doesn't know martial arts, what if he's a master of formations and can break the formation?

Will he then obtain the opportunity at Leigu Mountain?

Just in case, Kumārajīva made his move.

"The protective light shield hasn't been removed, and the illusion array is still affecting my mind. I can't delay any longer; I must find Wuyazi as soon as possible."

Feeling the energy of the "Sun Shadow Golden Wheel" constantly dissipating, Jiang Sishui dared not delay and stepped deeper into the depths.

The road twisted and turned, and after about half a cup of tea's time, Jiang Sishui suddenly stopped and looked ahead to the side.

There, two people were groping their way forward.

"Someone actually entered the illusion array."

Jiang Sishui took a few steps closer and, using the bright moonlight, took a closer look at the two people.

One of them appeared to be in his forties, with narrow eyes, a dignified appearance, and a three-inch black beard, exuding a noble and kingly aura.

The other one was obscured because his head and face were covered by a white veil, and he was dressed entirely in white, making it impossible to tell whether he was male or female.

In their hands, each held one end of a thin chain, as if to prevent themselves from getting separated.

"This person... Zhu Wushi? Or Chen Jinnan?"

Jiang Sishui stared intently at the dignified-looking middle-aged man.

“Chen Jinnan doesn’t have that kingly demeanor. It should be Zhu Wushi. He actually came too, and even entered the formation.”

Thinking of this, Jiang Sishui looked at the man in white again.

With too little information, it is impossible to determine the identity of the man in white. However, since Zhu Wushi came with him, this person is most likely proficient in formations, and with extremely high skill.

Otherwise, given Zhu Wushi's cautious nature, he would not have taken such a risk so easily.

Jiang Sishui paused for a couple of seconds, then left.

Whatever Zhu Wushi wants to do here is beyond his control right now.

The most urgent task is to acquire Wu Yazi's full power.

After walking for a while, they arrived at a deep valley.

The valley is full of pine trees, and when the mountain wind blows, the sound of the pines is like the sound of waves.

At the same time, the protective aura surrounding Jiang Sishui dissipated on its own.

"They've gone into battle?" Jiang Sishui was delighted.

Now that we've escaped the illusion array, we shouldn't be far from Wuyazi.

Just as I was thinking this, a sudden exclamation rang out—

"Amazing! Absolutely amazing!"

The sound was vast and distant, echoing endlessly through the valley, mixed with the howling mountain winds of the moonlit night, sounding like the lament of ghosts.

"Young man, come here."

The sound continued, but Jiang Sishui was speechless for a moment because he couldn't tell where the sound was coming from.

Just as he was frowning and pondering, he suddenly felt something pat his shoulder.

Jiang Sishui instinctively turned around and retreated, only to see a short, thin, withered old man standing there.

Because the old man showed no hostility towards him and did not attack him, neither "Cicada Sense" nor "Sun Shadow Golden Wheel" were activated. With the spiritual sense of an ordinary person like Jiang Sishui, he naturally could not detect the approach of a master.

Requesting flowers (or flowers)

After regaining her composure, Jiang Sishui felt relieved and tentatively asked, "Are you Senior Su Xinghe?"

The old man was Su Xinghe, but he acted as if he hadn't heard him and continued to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Then he gestured for Jiang Sishui to follow him.

Jiang Sishui naturally complied.

He thought Su Xinghe would take him into a dark and enclosed space to meet Wuyazi, just like in the original novel, but the reality was not like that.

The two arrived at a place one after the other, and saw that the surrounding area was shaded by bamboo groves and the scenery was serene. Beside the mountain stream, there was a pavilion built with giant bamboo, which was exquisitely constructed and full of ingenuity.

Bamboo is pavilion, and pavilion is bamboo; at a glance, it is impossible to tell whether it is a bamboo grove or a pavilion.

.. ..... ....

A man was lying on a bamboo chair under the pavilion.

His beard was three feet long, without a single gray hair, and his face was as smooth as jade, without a single wrinkle. He was clearly not young, yet he was still full of energy and had an elegant demeanor.

Jiang Sishui, seeing his otherworldly and venerable demeanor, knew that this man was the target of his journey—Wu Yazi.

After Su Xinghe led Jiang Sishui to the back, he bowed to Wuyazi and then withdrew on his own.

Jiang Sishui remained calm, performed the junior's greeting, and said respectfully, "Junior Jiang Sishui greets senior!"

Wu Yazi kept scrutinizing Jiang Sishui, his weathered eyes bright and piercing, filled with scrutiny and inquiry.

Jiang Sishui, having something to rely on, remained calm and composed.

After observing for a while, Wu Yazi exclaimed with admiration, "You are clearly an ordinary person with no martial arts skills, yet you have managed to get here. You are truly very lucky!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sishui knew that Wuyazi had seen through the extraordinary treasure he possessed.

Indeed, even grandmasters dare not cross this illusion array, and even celestial beings might not be able to overcome it, yet now an ordinary person has managed to pass through it.

Who would believe he has no secrets?

Just as Jiang Sishui was carefully considering her words and how to respond, she heard Wu Yazi say, "The word 'fate' is truly wondrous. To send someone with such profound good fortune here at this time, could it not be the will of Heaven? Good, good, my wish can now be fulfilled."

As he spoke, Wu Yazi took a closer look at Jiang Sishui's figure and appearance, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. He asked, "Young man, you have also come for the opportunity at Leigu Mountain, haven't you?"

Jiang Sishui breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Wuyazi did not pry into the treasures on his body. She nodded and said truthfully, "Yes."

Wu Yazi smiled slightly: "Alright, good child, then kneel down and kowtow."

Jiang Sishui: "..." (continues)

071 Passing on the skill, ascending to heaven in one step!

Jiang Sishui was caught off guard.

Having been familiar with the original plot, he naturally knew what it meant for Wu Yazi to make him kowtow.

According to the rules of the Xiaoyao Sect, after bowing nine times, one is considered to have become a disciple.

It is quite obvious that Wuyazi intended to take him as a disciple and pass on his skills to him.

This left Jiang Sishui completely bewildered.

I felt that the old man was being a bit too hasty.

Why did Wu Yazi need to find a successor?

Because he himself was failing, he wanted to find a successor to take over the position of leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, and then have the successor kill the traitor Ding Chunqiu for him.

There are many outstanding people in the martial arts world, and there are quite a few who are capable of taking on this task, so why has he been hesitant to make a choice?

That's because he wanted to examine the character of his successor, fearing that he might take in another traitor who would betray his master and ancestors.

Now, Jiang Sishui, a stranger, has suddenly barged in. He has neither solved the "Precious Chess Game" nor does Wu Yazi know anything about him.

However, after exchanging only a few words with the two men, “260”, he was about to take on disciples and pass on his skills.

How could Jiang Sishui not be astonished?

Although it seemed a bit strange, such a good opportunity was not to be missed.

Upon realizing what was happening, he immediately kowtowed three times to Wuyazi.

Although he possesses a system that destined him to rise to power, he is still far from being invincible.

The fact that Wu Yazi, the "big account," allowed him to skip the "newbie period" was a great favor to him.

Being grateful is a basic principle of being a decent human being. What's wrong with kowtowing to someone a few times?

Moreover, by the time he wins over Wang Yuyan, Wuyazi will be his maternal grandfather.

Therefore, both morally and logically, it is only right for him to kowtow.
