The elder who sat cross-legged on the spot, gripping the Taoist Technique in madness, jerked his body slightly when his head was tapped, coming to his senses. He slowly opened his eyes to see Chen Qiu squatting before him with a kind expression. Scanning the surroundings, only the two of them remained.
What had happened became clear to him in an instant.
No more golden Array Talismans floated out from within his body, and with trembling lips and a frail voice, he whispered, “Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for sparing my life.”
After that, he dared not delay any longer and immediately transformed into a white light that vanished from the spot, clearly having left the Secret Realm.
Chen Qiu watched the elder leave without making a move, simply revealing a rather gentle smile.
...
“Taixu Temple.”
He had seen the name of the elder’s sect embroidered on his garments.
Good, this Taixu Temple is worth a visit.
Although this Nascent Soul peak Array Repairer didn’t seem to handle attacks well, it was normal for Array Repairers to be unsuited for this kind of situation.
Another day he would pay a visit to Taixu Temple, to see if he could recruit a talented Array Repairer. He thought this old man was not bad; their Chao Tian Sect also needed a top-notch Array Repairer.
He had promised to bring back a Heavenly Pride Array Repairer to Da Xia, to the Extremely Cold Land and the Boundless Icefield, to claim Old Man Cao’s legacy in the nine great heritages, and then to release Old Man Cao. Although he didn’t quite understand what Old Man Cao meant by ‘release.'”
Those who are adept at formations are often skilled at chess.
This is a consensus in the Cultivation World.
Just right.
When he had just arrived at Xuan Tian, he acquired a chessboard during the major event of “The Long Night is Coming.”
–
“Treasure Name”: Duel with Heaven.
“Acquisition Source”: Granted by the Heavenly Dao.
“Usage Effect”:
1: Engage in a game of chess with Heaven; if you tie or win by one piece, you receive a random Spiritual Treasure. The more pieces you win by, the higher the Grade of the Spiritual Treasure. You only get one chance.
–
He had not used it until now, but it seemed perfect to take this chessboard to “Taixu Temple” to see if someone could break it.
In Da Xia Country, not all of the Chao Tian Sect’s Formations had been fully repaired, and many of the Nascent Soul Formation Array Repairers from Da Xia Country were powerless to do so.
This Nascent Soul peak Array Repairer seemed very promising.
It was also an opportunity to repair the remaining Formations of the Chao Tian Sect.
Killing several birds with one stone, with so many gains, it was now essential to visit this Taixu Temple.
Chen Qiu, standing in place, scanned the surroundings once more. At this moment, he was the only person left in the entire chessboard square. Now, he just needed the people on the other chessboards to finish, and they could move to the last challenge, which is the Absolute Victory Arena.
…
“…”
After cultivating cross-legged on the chessboard for a full three days, Chen Qiu slowly opened his eyes, his face expressionless and silent.
He had already been waiting here for three days!
And had yet to advance to the third challenge.
This meant that there was still at least one chessboard where the second challenge had not ended, a complete waste of time. He’d better not catch whoever was delaying him.
He sighed deeply.
After calming himself down, he continued to wait patiently. Slowly does it; he didn’t believe they could actually wait until the “Worldly Turmoil” update arrived.
…
Meanwhile, on another chessboard,
a red-eyed Nascent Soul at the brink of collapse roared hysterically, “Come out, come out, you bastard! What does it mean to keep hiding like this!?”
For three full days, no one knew how he had spent them.
Two days ago, their chessboard was almost finished, with only him and another Nascent Soul cultivator remaining. He was stronger and should have had a stable victory.
But after that Nascent Soul cultivator gave him a smile, he concealed his presence and hid.
That hiding lasted nearly three days!
No matter how he bombarded every section of the chessboard, he could not make the other Nascent Soul reveal the slightest trace of his presence, not even a hint. His Divine Sense was completely unable to detect this person.
The man’s concealment technique was extremely sophisticated, the best he had ever seen in his life!
Alright, if he was inferior in spells, they would compete in wit.
In the meantime, he tried every trick in the book, like pretending to deplete his Spiritual Energy completely and then sitting cross-legged as if gasping for air, pretending to recover his energy. If the other person took the bait, he could use his Magic Treasure to capture him!
But the man did not.
He just watched as he fully recovered his Spiritual Energy without the slightest intention of attacking from the shadows.
Okay, credit to your composure.
He then switched tactics, such as pretending to talk to himself indifferently, saying that since he was in no rush, why not just keep waiting? If you’re not in a hurry then why should I be? It’s been a long time since I had a retreat, so might as well treat it as one.
After talking to himself for a day like this, he felt he was on the verge of breakdown.
No matter what he tried, he couldn’t locate the person.
He felt his actions must appear like a clown to the other person, and the idea of using the time to cultivate was nonsense. With a hungry wolf hiding nearby, ready to strike at any moment, who could concentrate on cultivation?
After a long while,
the man took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, murmuring, “Alright, I yield. I remember you now. Once we’re out of here, I swear, I will utilize all the connections and resources I’ve accumulated in my life for one thing: to hunt you down.”
“The rest of my life, I’ll play this long game with you.”
“One of us will certainly die in this rivalry.”
This matter had greatly impacted his Dao heart. This man must die; it was already hard for him to settle his mind for the breakthrough to Divinity Transformation, as he would have to face the Heavenly Tribulation.
