I Turn Out to Be a Grand Master

Wang Yuyan was the number one beauty of the Southern Mountain Range. She was famous for her beauty and her looks were peerless. Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, she had concealed her appearance early on. In the eyes of others, she was just an ordinary female cultivator.

However, this kind of concealment was not enough in front of an old rival like Yu Hongye. Yu Hongye was able to see through it with just a glance from a distance of over a hundred meters.

"Isn't that Fairy Wang Yuyan? How did she become like this?"

Yu Hongye deliberately made a fuss over nothing.

Yu Hongye had always been the focus of everyone's attention. Her shout naturally attracted everyone's attention to Wang Yuyan and the others.

When Wang Yuyan saw that her plan was in vain and there was no point in hiding it, she simply decided to generously remove her disguise.

Her stunning face was displayed in front of everyone, and everyone in the valley cried out in surprise.

"It's Fairy Wang Yuyan!"

"Fairy Wang from Zhaoliu Island is here too?"

Many young cultivators' eyes lit up, and they came up to her in surprise.

"I'm so happy to see Fairy Wang."

"Don't worry, Fairy Wang. We will ensure your safety during this treasure hunt."

"That's right. We will definitely do our best to help."

Wang Yuyan absolutely detested these 'toads' who were trying to curry favor with her. She subconsciously glared fiercely at Yu Hongye who was sitting on the spaceship.

Yu Hongye gently waved her feather fan. The craftiness in her eyes was obvious.

While the group of cultivators was discussing who were the people who came to search for treasures, the ordinary valley suddenly became unstable. There were even layers of water ripples.

"The cave abode has begun to open!"

Someone cried out in alarm, instantly attracting everyone's attention. They were filled with anticipation towards the center of the ripples.

Soon, a large hole began to appear in the sky above the valley. The hole was unfathomably deep, and vaguely seemed to lead to an unknown place.

All the cultivators put down everything and rushed forward, scrambling to be the first to rush forward. All kinds of magical treasures and magical power lights flew everywhere.

Wang Yuyan was prepared to rush forward in the first wave, afraid that she would be left behind. However, when she looked up, she saw that Yu Hongye was sitting steadily on the fishing platform. She didn't show any signs of moving. She looked like she had a plan in mind and wasn't worried that someone would get ahead of her.

Wang Yuyan felt that Yu Hongye was such a smart person, but she wasn't in a hurry. There must be something fishy about this. She also withdrew the idea of taking the initiative.

As expected, when the first wave of cultivators rushed to the entrance of the cave, a majestic force suddenly rushed out from the inside and pushed all the people who came forward back.

Then, a yellow light swept over and formed a cover that enveloped everyone.

Every cultivator found that a huge chessboard appeared in front of them. On it was a remnant game of chess. On the side of the remnant game was the words 'Exquisite Chessboard'.

On the opposite side of the chessboard sat an illusory figure, seemingly waiting for someone to play chess with him.

"What is this situation? What bullsh*t Exquisite Chessboard... I just want an opportunity."

A late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator frowned and said indifferently, "Play chess? I'm not interested. Whoever wants to play, I'll take my leave first..."

After saying that, he leaped up and prepared to fly over the chessboard toward the entrance of the cave abode.

Before he flew over the chessboard, he saw the mysterious figure sitting upright. He opened his eyes and pointed casually. A white light shot over and landed on the Nascent Soul cultivator's body.

Pa--

With a crisp sound, the Nascent Soul cultivator's body exploded. Without any resistance, he turned into a pool of blood and his soul vanished.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss--"

Such a scene scared everyone present. They were all scared out of their wits. No one dared to try to snatch the treasure without challenging the chess game.

Even an expert like a Nascent Soul stage cultivator died without a complete corpse. It was simply too terrifying.

At this moment, everyone began to recall that this was the residence of the Xiaoyao Grand Sage. He was someone who had ascended to the heavenly realm, so the traps he left behind were naturally no small matter.

"Hehe, you are courting death..."

In a place so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, a burst of clear laughter suddenly rang out. Everyone looked in the direction of the laughter and saw Yu Hongye waving her feather fan as if she had everything planned out. She said mockingly, "Everyone knows that the Xiaoyao Grand Sage's cultivation level is extremely high and he has stepped into the Dao of Chess. This person actually ignored the chess formation at the entrance. He is simply courting death.

"Everyone has also seen that the endgame at the entrance is a test. Those who do not have the ability to break the game or those who do not know how to play chess should quickly wash up and sleep!"

After saying that, she stood at the side and did not go forward. It seemed like she wanted others to probe the way and help her test the depth of this game.

The other cultivators looked at each other, not knowing what to do. They would definitely not retreat. They would advance, if they had the ability...

Just when everyone was hesitating, a Golden Core stage monk came out.

"Anyway, my cultivation is not good, and I'm not good at chess, so I'll take the initiative..."

Then he went up to the chessboard...

——————————

"Not coming down, not coming down..."

Liu Changgong felt that he was asking for trouble.

He had found two stinky chess baskets to play with him. One of them could only play 30 moves at most, while the other was less than 20 moves.

He had yet to feel the joy of playing chess. If he were to play with them at their level, he would probably lose this hobby of his.

It was really not interesting at all.

"Senior..."

Li Xuanmen saw that Liu Changgong did not seem to want to play anymore, so he quickly stood up and cupped his fists to ingratiate himself. "Please do us a favor and play another round with us!"

Liu Changgong was unwilling to agree. He pointed at the two people in front of him and said,  "The two of you play on your own. Talented people meet, learning from each other and improving each other. It's the best..."

His heart was already filled with resentment. He had no interest in playing children's chess with them. Let them play on their own.

"Alright..."

Seeing Liu Changgong's determined expression, Li Xuanmen knew that it was unlikely.

But he was still very happy. After these few games of chess, Li Xuanmen felt that his Dao heart had improved rapidly. It was comparable to his many years of bitter cultivation.

This further proved that this senior's realm was extremely high. His comprehension of the Great Dao was simply earth-shattering. It had already exceeded the scope of his comprehension.

"Then, Senior, we won't disturb Senior's rest anymore. We'll take our leave first..."
