Heavenly Question Chess Game? The Chess Immortal Inheritance
Upon seeing this, Chen Changqing glanced at her, a strange light flashing in his eyes. Then, he turned his gaze to Xiaoqian, who was standing to the side.
Before Chen Changqing could say anything, Xiaoqian spoke up:
"Young Master."
Are we going to take the route through Tianyuan City?
Chen Changqing smiled faintly and said:
"Since it's not far, there's no harm in going to take a look!"
Afterwards, Chen Changqing and Xiaoqian didn't linger and headed towards Tianyuan City together.
Before long, the two arrived at Tianyuan City.
To Chen Changqing's surprise...
This attracted a large number of Cultivators to gather in Tianyuan City.
There were those exuding Devil Qi, as well as those radiating spiritual light, and even some Demon Race mixed in...
It's a real mixed bag!
What attracted Chen Changqing's attention most was a sealed place in the void behind Tianyuan City.
At first glance, the sealed land resembled a giant Go Board, with interwoven Principle and a captivating aura that enveloped the entire void of Tianyuan City.
"Um?"
What place is this?
"The sealed land is so blatantly exposed to the eyes of so many Cultivators?"
Chen Changqing looked up at the sealed area in the void that resembled Go Board, his brows furrowed with doubt.
What he could guess was...
So many Cultivators have gathered in Tianyuan City, presumably for this sealed land, but the specific reason remains unknown.
"Young Master."
"How about we find somewhere to ask around?"
Just as Chen Changqing was lost in thought, Xiaoqian spoke up.
"Okay, let's go!"
Chen Changqing nodded and followed Xiaoqian into Tianyuan City.
Tianyuan City, the streets are wide and paved with bluestone slabs.
At this moment, the city was bustling with noise and people, with all sorts of Cultivators moving about.
Disciples of prestigious and righteous sects, dressed in uniform and exuding an air of grandeur.
There were also disciples of the Demon Sect shrouded in black robes, exuding an eerie aura.
Besides these, there were also scions of the Aristocratic Clan and some powerful demons in human form!
These Cultivators from different factions were all staying peacefully in Tianyuan City, a rare sight indeed.
After all, if this were any other occasion, the righteous disciples and the Demon Sect disciples would probably have already been fighting each other.
It's not hard to see that what made these Cultivators give up was the place sealed by the Go Board.
Soon, Chen Changqing led Xiaoqian to a tavern called "Listen-to-the-Wind Pavilion" and they sat down.
Inside the tavern, many Cultivators were seated, their noise and discussions filling the air.
The waiter, with his sharp eyes, noticed Chen Changqing's extraordinary demeanor and quickly forced a smile to greet him, then attentively led the two to a corner seat by the window.
As soon as they sat down, Chen Changqing ordered some food and drinks.
There was no need to ask the waiter anything, because there were quite a few Cultivators inside the tavern discussing the matter of the sealed Go Board site.
With Chen Changqing's cultivation level, he easily overheard the entire discussion among these Cultivators:
"Have you heard? A lot of the most promising talents have come to the Heavenly Question Chess Game this time!"
Representatives from all the major righteous sects and Aristocratic Clan have come to participate.
"Not only that! Quite a few people from the Demon Sect have also come."
"Sigh! Every time the Heavenly Question Chess Game begins, it's a gathering of geniuses. When will it be our turn?"
"How can you say that? It's the legacy of the Old Man Heavenly Question. Who wouldn't want to obtain such a tremendous fortuitous opportunity?"
"Unfortunately, no one has been able to budge it even an inch to this day!"
"It's not that easy! This Heavenly Question Chess Game concerns the Chess Immortal Inheritance!"
"It is said that this Old Man Heavenly Question, Tianwen, once dominated the Nine Provinces Continent with his chess skills and musical talent, playing only a zither. No powerful figure could gain the upper hand in front of him."
"After its fall, it left behind this Heavenly Question Chess Game, which is opened once every three years. Whoever can solve this game will receive its inheritance."
"It seems that the one currently controlling the Heavenly Question Chess Game is the disciple of the Old Man Heavenly Question."
"I've heard that the key to breaking this deadlock lies not only in chess skill, but also in an understanding of the Dao, something profound and mysterious."
"..."
After a little investigation, Chen Changqing immediately understood.
"Old Man Heavenly Question?"
"He must be an extremely powerful figure."
"Otherwise, the legacy it left behind wouldn't attract so many Cultivators!"
Chen Changqing muttered to himself.
At this moment, the waiter brought up the wine and meat.
Chen Changqing smiled and looked at the waiter, then asked:
"Waiter, when will the Heavenly Question Chess Game begin?"
Upon hearing this, the waiter didn't delay and replied directly:
"So, you've come here for the Heavenly Question Chess Game, sir?"
"This chess game will begin in three days. You are welcome to come and try your luck then; perhaps you'll be fortunate enough to break it!"
After saying this, the waiter hurriedly retreated.
"Three days?"
Chen Changqing murmured softly.
If he had to wait too long, he would lose interest, but three days was enough.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Changqing glanced at Xiaoqian and said:
"Xiaoqian, let's wait here in Tianyuan City for three days."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqian nodded slightly and said:
"Very well, whatever you say, young master!"
Next, Chen Changqing and Xiaoqian found an inn in Tianyuan City to stay at.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.
Over the past three days, even more Cultivators have arrived in Tianyuan City, and the entire city is now overcrowded.
"Young master, today is the Heavenly Question Chess Game begins."
Early in the morning, Xiaoqian found Chen Changqing.
Chen Changqing smiled faintly, leaned against the window and looked out. He saw that there were already many Cultivators on the street outside, craning their necks and staring straight at the Go Board- sealed place behind the city.
"Let's go and see what's really going on with this Heavenly Question Chess Game?"
With that, Chen Changqing led Xiaoqian out of the inn.
Before long, changes occurred within the sealed area that resembled Go Board.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the giant Go Board phantom shone brightly!
A thousand auspicious rays, ten thousand beams of rosy light.
In an instant, it painted half the sky with magnificent beauty.
"Boom..."
Immediately afterwards, a vast and powerful aura emanated from the Go Board -like area.
"The Heavenly Question Chess Game begins!"
Those interested in breaking this deadlock may enter!
An aged voice then rang out.
"Whoosh..."
Upon hearing this, countless Cultivators in Tianyuan City soared into the sky and disappeared into the sealed land in less than a few breaths.
Seeing this, Chen Changqing gave Xiaoqian a wink, and without hesitation, stood up.
Before long, the two passed through a barrier of light that rippled like water and arrived at the sealed Go Board area, where the scene before them suddenly opened up.
But within this sealed land, it seemed as if another world existed.
Beneath my feet lies a vast, tranquil lake, its clear waters reflecting the ever-changing glow of the sunset in the sky.
