I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot-Chapter 918 - Misty Forest’s Origin

“Brother Li, what chess match is it? Let me look at it first,” Li Nianfan was prepared to give the solution when Little Fox excitedly ran over. She looked over at the board.

“Oh? This is an interesting board,” She was immediately interested. She bit her teeth and fell into thought.

Li Nianfan smiled, “You should be able to solve it with your current abilities. Are you in any rush?”

Yang Jian and Xiao Chengfeng shook their heads, “No, we’re in no rush.”

“Have a seat first. Xiao Bai, quickly serve our guests,” Li Nianfan called to Xiao Bai before he walked toward the cow and the donkey. He noticed that both of them were incredibly amazing in quality. The meat was exceptional, which made him even happier.

Other than the quality of the meat, their skin could be used to make gelatin as well. He could even use the skin from the horse last time too. Other than that, the tail, the ear, and everything else could be made into dishes.

Xiao bai walked in front of Yang Jian and Xiao Chengfeng and said respectfully, “Tea, wine, or any other drinks?”

“Wine, wine will do. Thank you, Lord Xiao Bai,” Yang Jian and Xiao Chengfeng said at the same time. They were ecstatic at the prospect of having the expert’s wine.

“Alright, please wait for a moment,” Xiao Bai quickly poured some wine for them.

Everyone in the residence was minding their own business. Only Little Fox was deep in thought, occasionally scratching her ears. She held up her head with her hand and looked like a beauty deep in thought.

It was only until over an hour did her eyes suddenly brighten up. She quickly moved the board at a rapid pace and got faster and faster as she moved.

After a moment, she said, “Brother Li, I’ve solved it, but I still feel like something is lacking. I want to go play against the person who set this up myself.”

Li Nianfan walked over and looked at the board before he smiled, “Not bad. The general direction is right, but chess is constantly changing. You’re only thinking about it in your ways and lack perspective. You’ll know if you go and play with the person who set this up. Just think back on the chess you played against me when you were drunk. Don’t lose.”

“Yes, I understand,” Little fox was getting a little excited. She was going to be able to go out and play. 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮

“Brother, brother, could we go as well?” Nanan and Dragin immediately looked at Li Nianfan hopefully.

Li Nianfan shook his head, “She’s going to play chess, what’s the point of the two of you going? Just stay at home and slaughter the cow and donkey with me. We’ll wait for Little Fox to come back and eat.”

Yang Jian and Xiao Chengfeng got up and said respectfully, “Lord Saint, we’ll take out leave now.”

“Yes, then please take good care of Little Fox.”

Yang Jian and Xiao Chengfeng’s faces immediately turned serious, “Lord Saint, don’t worry. We’ll do our best.”

The three of them left the residence but did not head to the golden lake immediately. Instead, they went to the Heavenly Palace and brought Cultivator Junjun and Ju Lingshen along.

Even though none of them were as strong as Little Fox besides Xiao Chengfeng, they still had to do everything they could to protect Little Fox. This was no ordinary matter, so having a few more people along was appropriate. f𝘳𝚎𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋𝘯o𝘃eƖ.co𝓂

The five of them quickly flew out of the Ancient Forbidden Area and headed to the golden lake.

Yang Jian led the way. After entering the Mistry Forest, they continued walking forward. As they got closer Xiao Chengfeng’s expression got stranger and stranger. He circled the area a few times and made sure before he finally exclaimed, “I know now, it’s here!”

Yang Jian could not help but say, “What are you shouting about? Have you been here?”

“This is where the madman transformed Wisdom back then.”

Xiao Chengfeng’s voice was shaky as he spoke, “No wonder it’s called the Misty Forest. This is somewhere that’s covered up by Wisdom. It’s no easy feat for someone to find this place. There’s a mastermind behind this!”

In the memories the Sword Tyrant gave him, the madman tried to merge into Wisdom at this very spot!

If that was the case, the secret hidden here would be unimaginable.

Ju Lingshen said, “What are you talking about?”

Xiao Chengfeng shook his head, “I can’t say. All I can say is that this place was where all the corruption started.”

“Ignore him. He’s just trying to show off. Ignoring him is the best choice,” Yang Jian said emotionlessly.

Cultivator Junjun nodded, “You’ve spoken for half a day, I can’t stand it anymore.”

Xiao Chengfeng did not mind as he said, “Humph, you’re all just jealous of me. Ah, only I can see the sights from high above. I don’t even have anyone to talk to. Life is so lonely,”

As they spoke, they arrived above the golden lake.

However, they saw that the surface of the lake, including around it, already had hundreds of cultivators gathered there. They were all facing each other with a chess board in between them, going up against each other. The board state was all the exact one in the cave. They were trying to go through countless simulations to break through it.

“Trying to figure it out like that would take them more than a hundred thousand years.” Little Fox could not help but shake its head. Chess constantly changed. Each step was different, and it would result in different endings. It was impossible for them to find every single possibility. They would miss out on some things.

At that moment, the surface of the lake moved slightly. Two disciples carried a stretcher as they walked out. On the stretcher was an old man who was on the verge of death. Blod was flowing out of his eyes, and he looked like he was in a catatonic state, constantly mumbling something.

“My god, that’s Cultivator Da Tong. Even he’s been carried out.”

“He’s a saint of the Chass Dao. He’s a natural-born chess genius and an incredibly rare chess cultivator. He failed as well?”

“Cultivator Tian Yuan was carried out as well. Didn’t he already learn from Tian Yuan’s mistakes? He still lost.”

“The one who set up the board was absolutely a supreme being in the Chess Dao. There’s probably no one else left in the world who can solve this.”

…

The cultivators discussed amongst one another as they looked at the old man who was being carried out.

“Ah, I’m already feeling incredibly frustrated and dizzy just playing against people for the whole day, let alone this chess board,” Some of the cultivators already got up and left the board. They did not dare to continue thinking about it, lest they get obsessed.

Yang Jian and the others merely stopped for a moment before they entered the golden late.

Many sect leaders stood there. They were no ordinary cultivators. They frowned when they saw someone new enter, but when they felt the pressure Xiao Chengfeng was exuding, they shut their mouths.

Very quickly, they saw that cave. At that moment, no one else was near the cave. Everyone distanced themselves immensely from it.

“Is this the original chess board? It’s still here after countless years, not dispersing. How amazing,” Little Fox was immediately attracted by the chess board as she curiously walked over.

“Little girl, you can’t go there. Stop right now!”
