Chapter 278 - 278 Tit For Tat
278 Tit For Tat
“Little Brother, I was in a hurry just now and forgot to tell you about the primordial array. You don’t mind, right?” Hall Master Liu immediately apologized to him after the Wu Ji sect’s patriarch left.
“Hey, Hall Master Liu, what are you saying? It’s just a primordial array, nothing to be afraid of.” Gu Mingzhou laughed and raised his voice on purpose.
Sure enough, before he finished speaking, Shangguan Fei and the others around him immediately looked over.
“Who doesn’t know how to brag!” a look of disdain flashed across Wei Lin’s face. Although he was whispering, the people around him could hear him easily.
“Young people nowadays are so arrogant because they have something to rely on. They really don’t know the immensity of the heavens and earth.” The Wu Ji sect’s patriarch, who was already angry, continued to mock.
Although it also seemed to be a low whisper, the tone was much louder than Wei Lin’s.
“Freak three-eyed old man!” Gu Mingzhou shouted coldly.
“What’s wrong? Now you won’t even let me speak?” the one who answered Gu Mingzhou was not Wu Ji patriarch, but the burly man, He Youliang.
For some reason, He Youliang, who appeared to be kind, also had some dissatisfaction on his face as he spoke coldly.
“Since this Little Brother is so powerful, why don’t you teach us how to break this primordial array so that we can gain some knowledge?” He Youliang continued. Because Gu Mingzhou and Master Qin were close, he was a little hesitant.
Shangguan Fei looked a little worried and motioned for He Youliang to keep quiet.
“What’s wrong? Could it be that Little Brother still can’t break this primordial array that you don’t even care about?”
He Youliang, who had always been obedient to Shangguan Fei, did not choose to remain silent this time. Instead, he took two steps toward Gu Mingzhou and said disdainfully.
Gu Mingzhou looked at He Youliang with some doubt.
Although he had raised his voice on purpose, his purpose was only to give a warning and to express his dissatisfaction with Shangguan Fei, Gu Mingzhou, and the others for hiding the information about primordial array.
He didn’t expect that he would attract a wolf instead of a tiger, which made him a little unhappy.
“Island Master He, this Little Brother didn’t mean it. He didn’t aim at you. Please don’t mind.” Gu Mingzhou seemed to be more respectful of the Wu Ji sect’s patriarch’s cold words.
“Hall Master Liu, this has nothing to do with you. I just want to see how capable this young man is.” Gu Mingzhou continued to say.
However, as he spoke, he directly stepped past Gu Mingzhou and approached him.
Without waiting for Gu Mingzhou to react, a red shadow flashed past. Jing Wudao had already appeared in front of Gu Mingzhou, blocking him.
“What’s wrong? Do you still want to practice?” He Youliang said coldly as he stared at Jing Wudao from a close distance.
“I’ll accompany you anytime!” Jing Wudao said coldly, still expressionless.
Before Jing Wudao could finish his sentence, Gu Mingzhou reached out and patted Jing Wudao’s shoulder.
“Brother Wudao, move aside first. Didn’t He Youliang just want to ask me about the primordial array? Then I’ll just embarrass myself.” Gu Mingzhou lightly patted Jing Wudao’s shoulder twice and said with a smile.
Jing Wudao stared at He Youliang in front of him. After a long while, he took a step forward and once again retreated behind Gu Mingzhou.
However, his hands were already surrounded by a red glow, and he was clearly ready to attack.
“The so-called primordial array does not refer to the arrays or arrays that we know of, and it is not a mantra. Instead, it’s the eighth direction outside of the eight directions of heaven and earth.” Seeing Jing Wudao retreat, Gu Mingzhou nodded slightly at He Youliang. He immediately translated what he had just heard from Master Qin into his own words and told him.
In other words, the eight formations referred to the eighth direction outside of the four corners, which was the direction of the dimension discussed outside the stone statue. As for the primordial array was used to imprison an area of the world by using the direction between dimensions.
Of course, heaven and earth were actually dimensions. Therefore, one could also assume that the primordial array was not trapping the heavens, but a dimension, or in other words, an alternate dimension!
“Island master Shangguan, am I right?” Gu Mingzhou shifted his gaze from He Youliang to the ancestor of Wuji and Wei Lin. Finally, it stopped at Shangguan Fei and asked.
“I’m impressed. I didn’t expect that not only Daoist Brother Wudao would be so knowledgeable, but young friend Mingzhou is also very knowledgeable!” Shangguan Fei smiled and walked to He Youliang’s side. He cupped his hands and said to Gu Mingzhou.
“It’s just an introduction to the primordial array. Maybe you just happened to read about it in ancient books. If you really have the ability, then break this formation. Don’t forget, Island master Gu Mingzhou was asking about the way to break it, not the introduction!” The Wu Ji patriarch added fuel to the fire.
“You three-eyed old thief!” Gu Mingzhou shouted coldly.
“Please don’t be angry, Hall Master Liu. The Wu Ji sect’s patriarch was just reminding you out of good intentions.” Gu Mingzhou reached out to stop him and comforted him.
“You’re tactful!” The Wu Ji patriarch’s face was full of arrogance. He was obviously very unhappy with Gu Mingzhou.
“I did not answer the question just now. In fact, it is very easy to break this primordial array. Although the thick white fog seems to block our vision and separate the challengers, it only blocks our vision but not our spiritual sense.”
Gu Mingzhou said in a clear voice.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Fei was the first to applaud.
“Little Brother is indeed amazing. You’ve woken me up from my dream with a single sentence!” Shangguan said as he clapped.
“Island Master Shangguan, you’re too kind. As Wu Ji patriarch said, I just happened to read a few ancient books. I was indeed a little arrogant just now.” Gu Mingzhou cupped his hands and said to He Youliang.
“Hmph! What you said does make sense.” Although He Youliang was a little reluctant, he was very convinced by Gu Mingzhou’s explanation.
“Haha, everyone is here to explore the opportunities in the alternate dimension, so we should live in harmony. Since Little Brother Mingzhou is already here, let’s open the opportunities in the alternate dimension.” Gu Mingzhou stepped forward and tried to smooth things over.
“That’s right. This time, we’ve gathered all nine jade keys. We should be able to open the opportunity of the alien dimension.” Said Shangguan Fei with a nod. He immediately took the lead and walked to the bronze gate.
He raised his right hand and placed the five Jade keys into the grooves of the “nine” word. Then, he stepped back.
“Hall Master Liu, please!” Shangguan Fei said, waving his hand.
“Alright!” Gu Mingzhou replied with a smile. He immediately walked to the bronze door and quickly placed the three Jade keys he had into the “nine” groove.
Then, he retreated to the side and turned to look at Gu Mingzhou.
“My young friend, Mingzhou, please!” Shangguan Fei was the first to speak and made a gesture of invitation to Gu Mingzhou.
Gu Mingzhou nodded slightly.
Although he didn’t answer, he walked to the huge “nine” word on the bronze door. He raised his hand and placed the only jade key in his hand into the last groove.
