However, Ji Jing refused to give up. She sent another stream of spiritual energy in the direction of the talisman.
Ever since Ming Ze told her not to overdraw her spiritual power, she had been very frugal. But this time, she had no choice but to repeat the same mistake.
Suddenly, the fog in front of them stirred, and even the stone cliff under their feet trembled.
A blurry voice sounded in Ji Jing’s ears.
“Who are you?”
Ji Jing used all her strength to hold the talisman. She didn’t know where the voice came from. It was similar to the voice in the fog, but it was different.
She looked at Xu Tian and Ming Ze, but they didn’t have any reaction. Was she the only one who could hear it?
“Ancestor? Was it the ancestor? I am Purple Bamboo from the Lingyun Temple! It was originally the array core used in your array formation. Later, by chance, it became a human and entered the Lingyun Temple!”
Ji Jing suddenly had a stroke of luck and asked silently in her heart.
“I see…What nonsense!” The voice scolded him fiercely.
Ji Jing suddenly froze. She wasn’t afraid of being ostracized by the Ji family because she had Mingze and other friends. Her Dao was never lonely.
She was not afraid when questioned by the fog. She was upright and upright. She had not done anything wrong, and she did not feel that she was born a sinner.
Now, the patriarch’s reprimand made her panic. If she was not recognized by the patriarch, then her previous cultivation would be a joke. No matter how persistent she was, she would not be recognized as a Taoist priest.
“Ancestor? You, you mean…” Ji Jing suppressed the panic in her heart and asked tentatively.
“Oh, I’m not talking about you. I’m scolding the Heavenly Dao. Tell me, if you’re an adult, then you’re an adult. It still forced you back. Isn’t this nonsense?” The ancestor was actually easier to talk to than Ji Jing had imagined. He even began to seriously curse at the Heavenly Dao.
“Also, don’t believe the nonsense that the array told you. It had intelligence from the beginning!” The voice said in disdain.
“Ah?” Ji Jing was stunned.” Are you saying that when you set up the array…”
“Of course, I chose it because it has spiritual intelligence to make this array formation to suppress the demons.” The grandmaster slowly explained,” Back then, it also committed many crimes before it was punished to do this hard labor. Don’t believe how wronged it was. It deserved it!”
“….”Ji Jing thought to herself, I didn’t expect the fog of this formation to be so effective at deceiving people.
“Grandmaster, I understand this story. We are now trapped in the fog. How should we get out?” Ji Jing asked sincerely.
“This…” I can’t help you with that.” The voice laughed awkwardly.” As for strength, I’ve already given it to you. Whether you can get out or not depends on yourself. As for me…” I was only pushed out by those old fellows to save the situation when they realized that their emissary had messed up the matter.”
Old man? Ji Jing thought about it and guessed that it was probably the Twelve Zodiac Star Gods.
He did not expect that there would be such twists and turns in the world of gods and Buddhas beyond the nine heavens.
‘ The Heavenly Axiom is unfair and treats all living things as straw dogs. The Heavenly Axiom has always been so heartless. It forced you here to find a guardian,” the voice explained.” I already know about this matter. Don’t worry.”
Don’t worry? Why should I be at ease? Ji Jing was filled with doubt. Did he mean that the grandmaster would resolve the matter of the array?
Or would the Heavenly Dao be resolved? But no one could interfere with the Heavenly Dao, right?
No, this was not the time to think about this! Ming Ze was still holding on. She had to think of a way to get out!
“Then, Grandmaster, this fog…” Just as Ji Jing was about to continue asking, she suddenly realized that the voice in her heart had disappeared.
“Ancestor? Ancestral Master?” Ji Jing asked several questions, but there was no response.
Her grandmaster had actually abandoned her just like that!
Ji Jing wanted to cry but had no tears. The ancestor had descended, but the situation before her eyes had not changed at all!
Ji Jing hurriedly circulated more spiritual energy. This time, she suddenly felt that the resistance in the fog had decreased.
“Get ready!” Ji Jing could feel that the talisman was about to pierce through the fog!
Xu Tian quickly got up and put the doll into his arms.
Ming Ze stood behind Ji Jing and guarded her back. He withdrew a portion of the wind wall’s power and allowed the fog to push the wind wall closer and closer, almost suffocating them.
“3,2…. 1!”The moment Ji Jing finished speaking, a dim light actually broke through the thick fog..
