Chapter 1726

Tang Jianqing's face darkened.

Since Shao Heyang had put it this way, if he didn't agree, wouldn't others think he was afraid of him?

Wouldn't people laugh their heads off when they heard about this?

"Fine, let's bet! Everyone here will be witnesses. I hope you won't regret it! "

Tang Jianqing pretended to be tough and cupped his hands at the people around him. His voice was sonorous and powerful.

Seeing that he agreed, Shao Heyang's lips curled into a smile.

Since he dared to challenge Tang Jianqing, he naturally had a certain degree of confidence. Tang Jianqing had fallen into his trap, so there was no way he could climb out.

If the son of the commander of the Water Dance Army and the direct descendant of the Tang family knelt and kowtowed to him in front of everyone in the Luo Gate, not only would Tang Jianqing be embarrassed, but the Tang family's prestige would also be damaged!

Shao Heyang had achieved his goal, so he didn't say anything else. At this time, the Luo Gate Elder also spoke, and the group of 05 people entered the Eight Trigrams together.

Tang Jianqing walked in front, his mind somewhat disturbed by Shao Heyang's bet. Gu Chen looked at him from behind and couldn't help but shake his head.

Tang Jianqing had no shrewdness. To put it bluntly, he was stupid. A few words from others had already disturbed his state of mind, so he probably wouldn't be able to pass the test.

However, this had nothing to do with Gu Chen. Although he had agreed to be the Tang family's Minister of Offerings, it was only a verbal agreement. Whether he would do it or not depended on the situation in the Luo Gate.

If everything went smoothly in the Luo Gate, he would part ways with the Tang siblings. He couldn't be bothered to care about him.

At the edge of the Eight Trigrams, Gu Chen stepped in, and the scene in front of him changed instantly.

Tang Jianqing, who was in front of him, suddenly disappeared, and Fang Shijie, who was behind him, also disappeared. He stood alone in the vast field, with towering mountains in the distance and a mirror-like lake nearby.

Gu Chen narrowed his eyes. The scene of the group of people running around like headless flies was still vivid in his mind, and he had already guessed what would happen after entering the array.

To put it bluntly, this was an illusion array.

Gu Chen didn't rush into action, and he looked around with interest.

The mountains in the distance and the water nearby. The pattern between the mountains and the rivers was thought-provoking.

He looked up at the sky again. It was dusk, and the sun was still setting in the west. However, the moon had already climbed up into the sky, and it was dotted with a few pale white stars.

Gu Chen was deep in thought. In his mind, the mountains and rivers were his muscles, and the sun and moon were his bones. This seemingly ordinary world suddenly seemed to have a different structure with hidden mysteries.

"I see."

In just a few breaths, Gu Chen understood the mystery of this illusion array.

This was not an ordinary Illusion Array. Ordinary Illusion Arrays could be broken by force as long as one's mental strength was strong enough or one had mastered mental secret techniques.

As for the illusory formation before him, it combined the unfathomable changes of the Eight Trigrams to create mountains and rivers. Only those who understood the Fengshui of the world could break it.

If he tried to break through by merely relying on his powerful mental strength, he would fall into a recurring illusion as the Eight Trigrams evolved.

Even if someone's mental strength was strong enough to tear through the entire Eight Trigrams illusion, they would not be the disciple the Luo Sect wanted.

Gu Chen had heard before that the Luo Sect's entrance examination was not restricted to one style, and that a powerful cultivator might not have a higher chance of passing than an ordinary person. He didn't believe it at the time, but he did now.

The Luo Sect wanted people who fit the characteristics of their sect. Cultivation alone would not be able to pass this test. Only by understanding the Fengshui of the world could one pass the test.

But how could one understand the Fengshui of the world?

The answer was hidden in the scrolls of scriptures that the Luo Sect distributed to the public.

Those scriptures were a stepping stone. If one had enough perception and could truly understand the contents of the scriptures instead of memorizing them, he would definitely be able to see through the mystery of the Illusory Array in front of him and find a way to leave!

"One is fate, two is luck, and three are Fengshui. Genesis Masters understand the Fengshui of the world and are experts at locating dragons … The Luo Sect wants to recruit disciples who have the potential to become Genesis Masters."

A strange light flashed in Gu Chen's eyes. After looking around, he already knew how to successfully leave the Eight Trigrams.

Although he had only been studying the "Destiny Knowing" and the other scriptures for a short period of time, his mastery of the Fengshui Dao was not low. Thus, he was able to master it very quickly. Moreover, he had the Fang Clan's inheritance.

The Fang Clan was originally from the Origin Clan, and the Genesis Masters were founded by the Origin Clan. The illusion array before him was nothing more than child's play.

Gu Chen was confident that he could leave the Eight Trigrams in a dozen breaths. However, he did not rush into action. Instead, he pretended to be at a loss, as if he didn't know where to go.

Fang Shijie would do the shocking things. He decided to keep a low profile and enter the Luo Sect as inconspicuously as possible.

If he wanted to conduct an investigation within the Luo Sect, it would be much easier for him and Fang Shijie to work together in the dark.

With a plan in place, Gu Chen put on a cautious and perplexed expression. From time to time, he would take a few steps in a certain direction. Occasionally, he would deliberately take the wrong path, maintaining a steady pace as he advanced.

When he reached the mirror-like lake, he slowly took a step onto the surface of the lake. His figure was reflected in the lake.

He casually glanced at the reflection and saw a strange smile appear on the face that should have been calm!

His reflection was actually looking at him and smiling. Around the reflection, the mottled light from the setting sun on the surface of the lake was slowly swallowed up by the darkness until the surroundings became a pitch-black hole!

Gu Chen's expression changed slightly. What was going on?

Could it be that there was some hidden trick to this test?

Gu Chen stared at the reflection with a gloomy expression. Just as he was hesitating whether or not to make a move, he suddenly felt that someone was watching him!

The feeling of being watched was extremely strong. It was so strong that he felt as if his secret would be completely exposed if he didn't leave the Eight Trigrams!

The golden blood qi in Gu Chen's body began to surge instinctively. His expression changed, and he quickened his steps on the surface of the lake!

After changing his position a few times, his previous hesitation disappeared. It was as if he suddenly had an epiphany, and his movements were swift and decisive!

Behind him, the feeling of being watched was still following him like a shadow. It was as if he had to be exposed!

Gu Chen's heart trembled. Without any hesitation, he took a few more heavy steps, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

The mountains and rivers disappeared, and what appeared in front of him was a large number of examinees.

The feeling of being followed and spied on had also disappeared. It was as if two huge black hands had retreated like the tide and hidden themselves again.

Gu Chen lowered his head and looked. His two feet had already landed firmly outside the Eight Trigrams.

Obviously, he had passed the test.

Not far away, there was a sudden commotion.

From the time he entered the Eight Trigrams to the time he walked out, only a very short period of time had passed.

Gu Chen looked around and realized that Fang Shijie had not come out yet. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
