Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu-Chapter 1158 - 1137 Fat and Thin Old Man_1

"Hmm! I want to go below the Boundless Celestial Abyss to see what the situation is actually like."

"I’ll accompany you!"

Before Chu Qin could finish speaking, the Endless Empress interjected.

"It might be dangerous," Chu Qin said with a smile.

"I am also an Immortal Emperor now, and certainly not the type of flower that stays within a greenhouse. Through endless ages, what kind of danger have I not seen?" the Endless Empress said with a Yanran smile.

"Then you, stick close to me!" Chu Qin said after a moment’s thought.

"This is for you!" Chu Qin said, handing over the Golden Monkey Emperor Armor, the Golden Monkey Emperor Cudgel, and the Qilin Immortal Ganoderma to the Endless Empress, "These were our battle loot; I just forgot to share them with you!"

"As you saw, there are six pieces in total, three for each of us," Chu Qin added with a smile.

The Endless Empress took the armor and the cudgel, returning the Qilin Immortal Ganoderma to Chu Qin, "Chu Qin, I’ll accept these two. This Qilin Immortal Ganoderma, being a Primal Sacred Artifact, will not have much effect even if I absorb it, let alone oppose the Heavenly Dao. However, it might be useful to you, and it could possibly increase your chances of success against the Heavenly Dao."

"Heavenly Dao is a threat to me as well. Helping you is helping myself!" the Endless Empress added, leaving no room for Chu Qin to refuse.

"All right then!" Chu Qin accepted the Qilin Immortal Ganoderma, "Once we’ve defeated Heavenly Dao, I will definitely give you something better."

"Hmm," the Endless Empress said with a Yanran smile.

On the surface, the Endless Empress seemed to have agreed.

In reality, what she cared about more was that Chu Qin owed her something, which would make their interactions grow increasingly closer.

"Let’s go!" Chu Qin no longer lingered, taking the Endless Empress with him as they rushed into the Boundless Celestial Abyss.

The moment Chu Qin and the Endless Empress entered the abyss, what had appeared to be calm suddenly turned turbulent.

Endless visible thunder and lightning lit up within the abyss.

These thunder and lightning were terribly powerful, and Chu Qin believed that not even an Immortal King could endure them.

However, for Chu Qin and the Endless Empress, it was trivial, as they had the Obliteration Element within them!

Faced with the Obliteration Element, the thunder and lightning seemed like little demons encountering a demon king, trembling and hesitant to come near.

Chu Qin and the Endless Empress entered the depths of the abyss without any trouble.

Together, they delved deeper into the Boundless Celestial Abyss.

They flew for about a Shi Chen.

They could have used space teleporting, but Chu Qin feared missing something on the way, so he chose to fly.

Even so, their flying speed was incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, they could traverse the entire Nine Heavens Continent.

One could imagine just how deep the Boundless Celestial Abyss was.

Still, during their journey, Chu Qin and the Endless Empress saw no living creatures.

Only some skeletons.

Perhaps they were those who tried to use the Boundless Celestial Abyss to escape the Nine Heavens but died under its thunder and flames.

For the entire place was filled with endless lightning and flames.

But upon encountering the Obliteration Element, all retreated a good distance.

At this time, in front of them, the darkness was no longer present, and a radiant brilliance emerged.

Chu Qin and the Endless Empress, filled with joy and surprise, rushed into the brilliance.

In an instant, it was as if they had passed the horizon between night and dawn; no longer was there darkness, but clouds of white before them!

"Clouds? Chu Qin, is it really as you said, that we’ve left the Nine Heavens and entered another world?" the Endless Empress asked with a look of joy on her face.

"It’s not that simple." Chu Qin shook his head, "The immortal power here is consistent with the Nine Heavens; we should still be within the Nine Heavens’ range."

As he spoke, Chu Qin’s Chaos Eye opened.

In an instant, the vast space was fully visible to him!

Within these drifting clouds, there was nothing.

Except for... a pavilion.

"Hmm?" Chu Qin expressed a slight look of surprise.

"What’s wrong, Chu Qin?" the Endless Empress asked.

"This space has nothing but a pavilion," Chu Qin said with a faint smile. "It is quite surprising indeed."

"A pavilion? Where?" the Endless Empress also raised her eyebrows.

Chu Qin smiled lightly and snapped his fingers.

In an instant, Chu Qin and the Endless Empress had left their original spot and arrived at another place shrouded by white clouds.

There, right in front of Chu Qin and her, was indeed a pavilion.

The pavilion was quite ordinary, with nothing special about it.

Of course, its isolation here already made it an extraordinary structure.

At the same time, a scene that surprised both Chu Qin and the Endless Empress unfolded before them.

Inside the pavilion, there were actually two elderly men playing chess!

These two elders, one fat and one thin, both had white hair and the look of great age.

The thin elder had the bearing of an immortal, a detached air of a reclusive master.

As for the fat elder, his face shone with a greasy glow, and his plump midsection indicated a life of comfort and prosperity.

Chu Qin was a bit stunned.

Because in his Divine Sense, there was no trace of these two elders.

This situation could only have two explanations: either the two elders were experts at hiding, or they were both supremely powerful beings!

"Who are they?" The Endless Empress was somewhat surprised as well.

"Master, do not fear, with me here!" At that moment, the voice of the Primordial Azure Dragon sounded.

Chu Qin smiled faintly, paused, and then, still accompanied by the Endless Empress, intended to leave the place.

"Why hurry away, when you’ve just arrived?" Just then, the fat elder spoke.

"We have other matters and do not mean to disturb your pleasant diversion," Chu Qin turned and said calmly.

"We know your business," the thin elder said with a smile while looking at the chessboard. "Come now, it’s been a long time since anyone visited us here. Join us for a chat. Perhaps we can resolve your issues."

"Yes, it’s been so long since anyone from the outside has come to the Infinite Sky. It’s been just us two old men playing chess here all this time, and that’s hardly fun!" the fat elder added.

"You know what we want to do?" Chu Qin’s eyebrows lifted slightly.

"Coming here, there’s only one matter, escaping the Nine Heavens, right? Otherwise, who would jump into the Boundless Celestial Abyss?" the thin elder said with a laugh.

"You have a way to leave the Nine Heavens?" Chu Qin asked.

"Yes!" the fat elder nodded.

"Really?" the Endless Empress asked, her voice laced with surprise.

"True. Not only can we help you leave the Nine Heavens, but after you do, we can sever the Heavenly Dao’s senses," the thin elder continued. "So you won’t be threatened by the Curse."

"I fear it’s not that simple," Chu Qin said with a faint smile. "What are the conditions?"

"The condition is simple!"

"Beat us!" said the fat elder and the thin elder in turn.

"Beat you?" Chu Qin asked.

"No, no no, fighting is not the point!" the fat elder replied.

"It’s playing chess! We’ve been playing here for who knows how many years, and it always ends in a draw," the thin elder continued, stroking his beard with a chuckle.

"Yes, as long as you can beat the two of us, we will help you leave the Nine Heavens and lift the Curse," the fat elder nodded.

"And if we lose?" Chu Qin asked with a light smile.

"If you lose, you two will be our attendants for a billion years!" the thin elder said with a smile.

"Exactly, standing by our side, pouring us tea and water," the fat elder added.
