Chapter 503 Dream Array
Jiang Liqian planned to give the box to the sect leader together with Zhong Nanchu to see if Yingdao Zhenren was the person she was asked to pass it on to.
Although Jiang Liqian found it absurd, in her impression, Sect Leader Qingzhi had always been a cold-hearted, apathetic, and hopeless person. He never had emotional fluctuations because of anyone, nor did he have any attachments to anything. He was like a well-designed gear for becoming an immortal, turning round and round without going off track or failing.
How could there be such a broken sword specifically left for him?
Even if it were given to him, he probably wouldn't even look at it and would just leave it to gather dust in some corner, right?
Unexpectedly, at this moment, her senior brother suddenly sent her an urgent message asking her to return to Zhenfeng.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Liqian entrusted the jade box to Zhong Nanchu for safekeeping.
"I'll be right back, and then we'll go together to pay our respects to the sect leader."
Zhong Nanchu nodded.
Without further delay, Jiang Liqian immediately transformed into a beam of light and headed towards the array peak.
She thought it was nothing serious, at most just that her senior brother had come up with some new gadget and wanted her to try it out. But as soon as they met, he hurriedly pulled her to her second senior brother's courtyard.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Liqian suddenly had a bad feeling.
The eldest brother led her into the house.
Jiang Liqian looked at the bed and saw that her second senior brother, who was pale-faced, had his eyes closed, his brows furrowed, and beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. In the room filled with the strong smell of medicine, she felt a chill for no reason.
"Second...Second Senior Brother, are you injured and unconscious again?" Jiang Liqian walked forward quickly in disbelief, wanting to see if her Second Senior Brother was injured somewhere again.
At this moment, the third senior sister, who was so exhausted that she could barely stand, stopped her.
“He didn’t just get injured and fall into a coma again. He… he briefly woke up that day and has been in a coma ever since. I gave him acupuncture, and the peak master of Danfeng came to see him, but said… he was powerless to help.”
Jiang Liqian was stunned for a moment, then suppressed her panic and asked urgently, "What do you mean by 'powerless'? Isn't Second Senior Brother perfectly fine? Why would he be 'powerless'?"
"Junior Sister, don't get too excited, calm down!" Si Chuan strode over, pressed her shoulders to calm her down, and said quickly, "Second Junior Brother is not in any danger. His injuries are basically healed. He was neither attacked nor poisoned or affected by illusions. Danfeng and Third Senior Sister are naturally 'powerless' to help him in his current situation."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Liqian immediately understood what they meant.
"Are you saying that Second Brother trapped himself and refused to wake up?"
But, why?
Second Senior Brother has never been a self-pitying or fragile person. On the contrary, Second Senior Brother is the strongest person in the formation. He is the one who actually takes care of everything in the formation. Is there anything that he would avoid or be afraid to face?
Luo Qing'an lowered her head and coughed weakly twice. For the past few months, she had been taking care of Fu Wennian, trying every possible way to wake him up, but both her mental and physical strength had reached their limits.
But she would absolutely not leave until Fu Wennian woke up.
"There's one more thing we can try; maybe he'll wake up, cough cough..."
Jiang Liqian deftly poured a cup of spiritual tea and handed it to her third senior sister. She then used her spiritual power to help her regulate her breathing: "What method? Third senior sister, just tell me, I can definitely do it."
Luo Qing'an drank the spiritual tea in the teacup, and her mind became clearer.
“By setting up an array with needles and incorporating medicine into it, I can find a way to temporarily dismantle his self-protective spiritual energy barrier and consciousness, causing him to truly fall into a deep coma. Junior Sister, I think you should take this opportunity to enter his dream and awaken his will to live.”
Si Chuan then said, "I will set up a dream-entering array to maintain its operation and do my best to ensure your safety and his. In any case, you must come out quickly after two hours. Otherwise, once the dream shatters, you will both be trapped in the shattered dream and never wake up again."
He paused, then said solemnly, "You need to be prepared, this is extremely dangerous. If it weren't for your possession of the Thunder Spirit Root, making you the best candidate to enter the dream, and the fact that you and your second junior brother have a brother-sister relationship that other peaks don't have, allowing you to resonate with him emotionally to the greatest extent possible, Qing'an and I would never have let you take this risk."
Hearing them say that, Jiang Liqian felt relieved.
As long as there's a way, that's good. As long as there's a way, she won't let them down.
"Third Senior Sister, Eldest Senior Brother, let's begin. The later we wait, the more dangerous it will be for Second Senior Brother. I have nothing to prepare."
Instead of doing as she said, Luo Qing'an took advantage of her distraction and quickly stuffed a top-grade pill he had treasured into her mouth.
"Keep it in your mouth; it can save your life if there's any danger."
"Third Senior Sister?"
"Wen Nian's life is important, and your life is important too. I don't want to lose either of them, understand?"
Jiang Liqian looked at her bloodshot eyes and nodded vigorously.
Luo Qing'an turned to Si Chuan: "Senior Brother, let's begin."
Si Chuan responded, then glanced at Jiang Liqian with concern. He quickly formed hand seals, and more than a dozen array flags flew out from his sleeves, arranged in an intricate formation, and settled into the ground in various corners of the bed.
Luo Qing'an supported herself and worked seamlessly with Si Chuan, sending out silver needles one by one at lightning speed, covering various acupoints on Fu Wennian's body.
A light green Five Elements and Eight Trigrams array appeared, then immediately disappeared without a trace.
"Junior Sister, you can enter the formation now!" Si Chuan shouted.
Jiang Liqian immediately stepped into the formation, sat cross-legged, and as soon as she sent out her divine sense, she was immediately drawn into a bizarre and chaotic world of light and shadow.
She was jolted quite a bit by the up-and-down, swirling, and distorted world, and several times she felt like bending over to vomit. Finally, the scene before her stopped just as she was about to actually vomit up some unidentified substance.
She covered her mouth, leaned against a large tree for a long time to calm herself down, and finally looked around.
Strange spiritual energy flowed through the vibrant forest. Stepping out of the forest, one found a vast, seemingly endless lake. On the side of the lake, there were layers upon layers of strangely shaped rocks, a stone forest that could easily lead one astray.
This place—isn't it the scene where she and her senior brothers were thrown into the Thousand Faces Box by Master Zhai?
Why would the second senior brother dream of this place?
Jiang Liqian tried looking around for her second senior brother, and sure enough, she found him at the place where they had met before.
He was sitting blankly by the campfire, with no one around, only the wind blowing and the stars turning in the distance.
Just as Jiang Liqian was about to walk towards him, something unexpected happened. Five stars in the sky suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and one of them fixed directly on her second senior brother.
