Chapter 235: Chapter 234: A Bunch of Drama Queens
Finally, Jiang Zuo said, "This is one of those things that can only be understood, not taught. If you get it, you get it. If you don’t, teaching you would be useless."
Jian Shisan nodded. "Yeah, it feels much harder than Enlightenment."
Fate, it seemed, was truly a concept beyond words.
Then, Jian Shisan asked, "So, Fellow Daoist, what do you plan to do? I’ve been here for a long time and haven’t found any effective methods."
Jiang Zuo nodded. "There is a way, but I’m very curious—as a Holy Land Disciple, why did you come here?"
"Because the Holy Land has records of this place. The records state that this is a place connected to the Abyss, and that it suppresses a certain Supreme being." Just then, Jian Shisan’s aura changed again, returning to that domineering air of his. "I was very curious about what a Supreme being was, so I came here for Enlightenment. But it never responded. It has recently, but unfortunately, it’s pathetically weak."
"Is that so," Jiang Zuo said nothing more. ’In the previous life, the Abyssal Being was indeed qualified to contend for the title of Supreme.’
’In some fundamental ways, its existence was truly great.’
’A pity none of that could be seen now.’
’But for the Holy Land to actually have records of this place...’
’And records even more detailed than those on Liyuan Island, at that.’
Jiang Zuo didn’t overthink it. Whatever the relationship between the two was, it had little to do with him. All that mattered now was getting the situation under control.
"Let’s go. Time to activate the Seal," Jiang Zuo said, then began to lead the way.
Jian Shisan watched Jiang Zuo, a little surprised. ’This man... is he very, very confident?’
Jian Shisan followed him and asked, "I know about that Seal, but it’s not that easy to activate."
"There isn’t an Array in this world that I can’t activate. At most, some might take a little time, but if one is just missing a trigger, it will never take more than a day," Jiang Zuo said casually.
Jian Shisan realized this young fellow Daoist had crossed the line from confident to delusional.
He shook his head and said, "No, that’s not it. The Sealing Array is missing a very important component. Simply put, it’s not complete.
Therefore, activating it is almost impossible."
Jiang Zuo frowned, but he didn’t stop walking. Instead, he continued forward. "It’s missing a key component? If that’s the case, it is a bit more troublesome. And even if we force it to activate, its effectiveness will be greatly diminished.
However, it shouldn’t be a problem to spend some time to get it to thirty percent effectiveness.
Thirty percent, that should be enough."
Jian Shisan was flabbergasted. It was one thing for the man to speak so casually, but the main issue was... ’Was an Array missing a key component really that easy to activate?’
’He was a Holy Land Disciple and had studied Arrays thoroughly. Yet after inspecting that Sealing Array, he couldn’t think of a single solution.’
’Yet this person, without even having seen it, was certain he’d have no problem.’
’He has to be bluffing, right?’
Still, Jian Shisan said nothing. A man who could marry a Candidacy Saintess was surely no ordinary person.
’He himself stuttered just talking to a Saintess. For this man to marry a Candidacy Saintess, it definitely wasn’t just luck.’
One had to wonder what expression Jiang Zuo would wear if he knew what Jian Shisan was thinking.

At this time, Chi Xue Child and Blade Master Hai Bian were still resisting the Abyssal Qi. Although its aura had weakened significantly, they couldn’t do anything about Zi Feng and the others playing dead again.
At first, Chi Xue Child and Blade Master Hai Bian thought they had successfully tricked those people, but they were wrong.
Those people’s Cultivation levels were not low; how could a mere Holy Light leave them in such a sorry state?
It was all an act. A bunch of drama queens.
Chi Xue Child sighed and said awkwardly to Blade Master Hai Bian, "Heh, you’ll get used to it."
Blade Master Hai Bian indicated he understood. Fortunately, the two of them could still hold out. All their earlier kindness had been for naught, to think they’d actually worried those people would be harmed by the Abyss.
Blade Master Hai Bian asked, "When will they make a move? They aren’t really going to wait for us to die, are they?"
Chi Xue Child said calmly, "It won’t go that far. My senior brothers and sisters might have some wicked ideas, but they wouldn’t actually watch us die without helping. At worst, they’ll wait until we’re gravely injured and at death’s door."
Blade Master Hai Bian: "..."
He really wanted to know just how many times Chi Xue Child had experienced something like this to be able to speak of it so calmly.
However, Blade Master Hai Bian wasn’t too worried about himself. As long as they held on, their chances of winning were still high.
But while he could hold on, Liu Yiyi could not.
Her Cultivation was limited, and the Holy Light’s area of effect was large, so the drain was still immense.
After a long time, Liu Yiyi was finally at her limit. She was about to open her mouth to warn Blade Master Hai Bian and Chi Xue Child.
But just as she opened her mouth, a streak of sword light swept past her.
The Sword Qi carried an intensely domineering aura, and the streak of light swept through everything as if unstoppable.
In the blink of an eye, the streak of sword light slammed directly into the Abyssal Qi.
The next moment, the Abyssal Qi disintegrated, and an enraged roar echoed through the air: "You will regret this! You will definitely regret this!"
Meanwhile, Zi Feng and the others "recovered" and pulled everyone over to their side.
At this point, Blade Master Hai Bian, Chi Xue Child, and Liu Yiyi all sat on the ground, resting from exhaustion.
Because they had all seen the two people passing by in the distance.
One of them was the familiar Fellow Daoist Po Xiao.
The two of them were walking by, and aside from that one sword strike moments ago, they hadn’t even spared this direction a single glance.
It was as if none of this even existed to them. In short, each one was more aloof than the other.
To say nothing of Jian Shisan, whose domineering presence was unparalleled.
As for Jiang Zuo, because of the Mist, no one could see through him. Everyone who looked at him got a strange feeling.
Furthermore, they would subconsciously overlook him, and whenever they did recall him, their minds would be filled with an overwhelming sense of mystery.
Zi Feng asked, "Who are those two?"
Chi Xue Child said, "Don’t know."
Blade Master Hai Bian: "Don’t want to say."
Liu Yiyi: "Didn’t see them."
Zi Feng: "..."
’The three of you are doing this on purpose, aren’t you?’
Afterward, Jiang Zuo and Jian Shisan walked off into the distance.
"Those young people are quite impressive," Jian Shisan suddenly remarked.
"Are they?"
Jiang Zuo couldn’t bring himself to appreciate these people, especially the ones who knew he had married a Holy Land Disciple (Chi Xue Child’s group). He had been quite embarrassed back then.
But speaking of that group, the one Jiang Zuo thought most highly of was still Ximen Chuihuo. That man was savvy.
Jian Shisan nodded, then said, "You should be of the same generation as them, right? Speaking of which, shouldn’t you also be calling me Martial Uncle?"
"Not interested." ’If Su Qi were here, maybe I’d do it. But for now, forget it.’
Jian Shisan didn’t mind. He nodded and said, "That’s true. After all, you’re the man who married a Candidacy Saintess."
Jiang Zuo was a little surprised. ’Is he really this hung up on the whole thing?’
Not long after, they arrived at the location of the Sealing Altar.
The place was still covered in Abyssal Qi, and it was surrounded by densely packed Abyssal Warriors, many times more than there were at the beginning.
Now, relying on Chi Xue Child and the others, it would be impossible to fight their way in.
But there was no need to rely on Chi Xue Child and the others anymore. In fact, it didn’t matter how many enemies came now.
Before Jian Shisan, there was no difference between one and a hundred of these Abyssal Warriors.
