Luck taken away? It doesn't matter, I quietly become a god

One hour ago—

After realizing that Rong Shu was in danger, Duan Yuyan and his group of five investigated Junque Mountain. They found that Junque Mountain was sealed off and they could not escape. The five of them discussed a way out.

Mu Gongfeng is a Nascent Soul stage cultivator; even if all of them combined, they wouldn't be able to defeat him.

escape!

We have to escape!

Where can we escape to? How can we escape?

Duan Yuyan thought of the forbidden area, and of the ancient teleportation array that might exist within it…

So the five of them split into two groups: Feng Qianli, Xing Xue, and Lu Zhuo went to help Rong Shu buy time, while Duan Yuyan and Si Chenbi went to explore the forbidden area and search for the ancient teleportation array that might not exist.

After exploring several forbidden areas, Duan Yuyan and Si Chenbi stopped in front of one of them.

"...Chen Bi, are you confident?"

Upon asking this question, Duan Yuyan felt it was somewhat redundant, and could only awkwardly add, "Now, regardless of whether we're confident or not, we can only try anything, hoping that there really is an ancient teleportation array inside."

"That Elder Mu secretly mobilized the array of Junque Mountain to besiege Rong Shu, but his authority was insufficient to directly control all the arrays. So he used an array called [Stealing Spirit and Turning Phoenix] to draw away the power of the arrays in various forbidden areas of Junque Mountain, and thus set up the [Heavenly Net and Earthly Binding Array] to achieve his goal of trapping Rong Shu."

"But as a result, the power of the formation in this forbidden area has been weakened by nearly 80%."

There are several forbidden areas within Junque Mountain.

This spot was the weakest point that Duan Yuyan and Si Chenbi had jointly determined through divination.

Normally, with their Nascent Soul stage cultivation, they would be completely unable to enter the forbidden area, but now... they are 30% confident.

If the speculation that there is an ancient teleportation array in the forbidden area is true, then they will have found a way out.

“Let’s begin, Shen Bi. Your mastery of formations surpasses mine. I will assist you in entering the forbidden area to find the ancient teleportation array.”

Duan Yuyan tapped his brow with his fingertip, extracting internal data and memories related to the forbidden area, engraving them into a blank jade slip, and then handing it to Si Chenbi.

Si Chenbi scanned the contents of the jade slip with his divine sense and casually accepted it: [The Si family's secret technique, have you learned it?]

His words were startling.

Duan Yuyan, who had just taken out the fortune-telling sign, almost dropped it because his hand trembled.

“…Uh.” Duan Yuyan choked, her eyes darting around, her voice hesitant: “I…I only saw a little bit, just a little bit! Really! My master…he…I only got the token after I came back. He looked down on me before, thinking I would use it to exchange for spirit stones, so…he didn’t give it to me.”

On that day, Duan Yuyan accompanied Rong Shu to the inner mountain. Before leaving, the Grand Master of Ceremonies gave Duan Yuyan a jade pendant with the yin and yang symbol.

That was the token.

—A token of betrothal.

Duan Yuyan felt hot to the touch, especially since he was almost always with Si Chenbi at the Jixia Academy, which made him very uncomfortable.

But gradually, Duan Yuyan noticed that Si Chenbi was not acting strangely, so she assumed that Si Chenbi was unaware of the engagement, or that the person she was engaged to was herself, or that her master had made a mistake and that the Si family's person she was engaged to was not Si Chenbi.

Therefore, Duan Yuyan, who was feeling uneasy, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But to my surprise, I let my guard down too soon.

"I thought..." You knew nothing.

Seeing Duan Yuyan acting somewhat awkwardly, Si Chenbi tilted his head slightly, looking puzzled.

Why?

Si Chenbi took out a level nine star chart and an identical yin-yang double fish jade pendant, and tied them to his waist.

This jade pendant is a token of love and also a rare and precious ritual object.

Duan Yuyan's gaze unconsciously drifted to the jade pendant.

The Yin-Yang Double Fish Jade Pendant consists of two pieces, one Yin and one Yang, which together form a Yin-Yang Bagua diagram.

Now that Si Chenbi has taken out the jade pendant, Duan Yuyan understands that the other party must know about the marriage agreement.

But neither of them mentioned it.

Seeing that Si Chenbi had already begun to inscribe the array on the ground, Duan Yuyan stopped thinking about random things.

Once the formation was complete, the two used the Yin-Yang Twin Fish Jade Pendant as a guide to simultaneously unleash the Si family's secret technique.

The Nine-Pole Star Chart spun rapidly, emitting a strong golden light.

Si Chenbi stepped forward, entering the forbidden area.

Duan Yuyan was left outside.

……

Time passed by, bit by bit.

Duan Yuyan waited anxiously outside the forbidden area, occasionally diverting his divine sense to pay attention to the battle situation on Rong Shu's side.

[...Found it.]

[The ancient teleportation array is damaged and needs repair.]

Si Chenbi's voice drifted into Duan Yuyan's ears.

The fog surrounding the forbidden area was lifted, the array's restrictions were broken, and Duan Yuyan entered the depths of the forbidden area without hindrance. Following the coordinates sent by Si Chenbi, Duan Yuyan quickly spotted an ancient altar that resembled an ancient teleportation array.

Several ancient array patterns were engraved on the altar. Duan Yuyan had to strain his eyes to determine the origin of those array patterns, which were somewhat similar to the array patterns of ancient teleportation arrays recorded in historical books.

"There really is!"

"As expected! Rong Shu is just tough!"

Duan Yuyan was overjoyed and immediately rushed to Si Chenbi's side.

Si Chenbi is trying to repair some damaged array patterns, but progress is slow, and some array patterns are even unclear, making it difficult to know how to repair them.

"This is too slow. Let's try another method. Don't worry about whether it can be repaired or not, as long as the teleportation function of the array works, that's fine. As for some of the array patterns that are not clearly visible..."

Duan Yuyan pulled out a stack of talismans.

"Let's use runes instead!"
