Chapter 862 - Game of Chess
Oh?
The Wisdom Pill Pavilion?
Xiao Chengfeng could not help but look over at the Wisdom Pill Pavilion’s third elder.
It was then did he notice that the third elder had already disappeared at some point. He had probably been scared away after witnessing the power of that piece of paper, not even daring to say anything
Xiao Chengfeng raised an eyebrow and asked, “What’s the Wisdom Pill Pavilion trying to do?”
Zhou Yuanhai said in a low voice, “They’re planning to make a pill with the unknown gray mist!”
The mountain lord’s face sank. “Anyone contaminated by the gray mist never ends up in a good state. They’re actually daring enough to refine a pill with it?!”
The second lord ran his hand over his mustache as he said, “The Wisdom Pill Pavilion has always put themselves before everyone else. They control many heavenly fires, and their alchemy stands at the peak. They claim to be able to refine anything in the world, so it’s no surprise they have such a crazy thought.”
In truth, 70 percent of the people contaminated by the gray mist did it to themselves!
They wanted to become stronger. At the same time, they thought they could control the gray mist. They felt like they would not be corrupted by the gray mist, so they deliberately breathed it in. The results went without saying.
Yun Cheng said, “The Wisdom Pill Pavilion gave away some pills as rewards. They’ve convinced countless cultivators to help them capture the gray mist. They’ve probably gathered an incredibly large amount.”
Xiao Chengfeng’s eyes lit up as he laughed, “Hahaha, this is so much better. We won’t have to gather it bit by bit, we can just steal it all for the expert!”
He had always held a grudge against the third elder of the Wisdom Pill Pavilion, and they just realized the other party was an incredibly well-fed lamb waiting for them to slaughter it. He wanted nothing more than to head right over.
“Even so, the Wisdom Pill Pavilion can’t be offended easily.” The mountain lord frowned as he shook his head slowly.
“The Wisdom Pill Pavilion’s alchemists are incredibly talented. In countless years, they’ve relied on their pills to gain countless experts. There are many cultivators who’ve been helped by them in the Origins Realm. If we walk right in and go against the Wisdom Pill Pavilion, we’d make enemies of half the Origins Realm.”
Yun Cheng nodded. “That’s right. More importantly, we have no proof. No one will believe what we say.”
Even an idiot would know that the Wisdom Pill Pavilion would not admit to what they were doing. There was no way to just barge in, so they were in a hard spot.
“It does sound a little hard.” Even Xiao Chengfeng did not dare to boast.
If the expert moved personally, none of it would be a problem. However, he was naturally not in a position to get the expert to do anything.
The second mountain lord looked at Zhou Yuanhai. “Is your information accurate?”
Zhou Yuanhai nodded seriously. “Incredibly accurate. If you don’t believe me, you can go get proof from the source.”
Everyone rolled their eyes at that.
Proof?
What proof
Were they expected to just open up the doors at the Wisdom Pill Pavilion to cause a scene? That was obviously impossible!
Xiao Chengfeng did not care as much. He said, “It doesn’t matter if it’s real or not. Being able to steal the Wisdom Pill Pavilion’s gray mist is a good thing regardless!” Jiang Liu fell silent for a moment before saying, “Let’s not mention this for the moment. Let’s send the Sky Melting Sword back to the expert for now.”
“You’re right.”
After that, Jiang Liu and Xiao Chengfeng bid farewell to everyone before heading to the Ancient Forbidden Zone.
They decided to ignore Yun Chen and the mountain lords’ gazes, not wanting to disturb the expert with any outsiders. Zhou Yunhai looked at their disappearing figures. There was a deep expression in his eyes. It was unclear what he was thinking of…
After four hours, Xiao Chengfeng and Jiang Liu arrived at the foot of the Fallen Immortal Mountain. They started to walk up the familiar path.
However, while they were walking up the mountain, their hearts jumped at the same time. They exchanged a glance, looks of shock in both their eyes were evident.
“That’s…the manifestation of Wisdom?!”
Xiao Chengfeng’s voice was low and full of shock.
Jiang Liu nodded seriously.
The Fallen Immortal Mountain was still the Fallen Immortal Mountain, but it was being surrounded by a formless and incredibly strong power at that moment. It was giving birth to a new law, separating itself from the rest of the world.
It was as if they had entered a chess match. However, the chess match was being played with completely new rules!
It was obvious that this was the expert’s doing.
Xiao Chengfeng and Jiang Liu did not dare delay, so they continued to head up the mountain.
When they walked passed the farm, they noticed all the livestock prostrating themselves on the ground. They were all trembling and bowing at the peak of the mountain in awe.
They continued to walk up the mountain. When they were about to get to the courtyard, they noticed the Elite King looking up and staring at the top of the mountain.
As they followed his gaze, Xiao Chengfeng and Jiang Liu were completely stunned. It seemed like a spell had been cast on them and they could not move at all.
In the skies, black and white were mixed together, trying to swallow each other. Waves and waves of Wisdom turned into law, covering the entire Fallen Immortal Mountain.
At that moment, Xiao Chengfeng and the others had turned into chess pieces in a chess game. They could see the laws of the chess game and the feeling was intense. There was a storm in their hearts as their minds started to roar.
However, even with the disarray in their minds, they were still able to comprehend a sliver of the laws.
Yet, just a sliver was enough to unlock their horizons, placing them in a new realm.
“Ruling over the world and setting one’s own rules. That is true mastery!”
Xiao Chengfeng’s gaze turned incredibly sharp as the sword intent in his body surged. He sat down crossed-legged immediately to digest everything.
He did not look at the sky anymore. That was because there was only so much he could understand. There was no point in looking at more.
Meanwhile, Jiang Liu and the Elite King were both above Xiao Chengfeng in cultivation. They looked on hungrily at the black and white auras in the air. It was as if they were looking at the creation of a whole new world!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Wave after wave of Wisdom exploded in their bodies. It was clear that they were benefiting greatly.
In the yard, Li Nianfan was sitting in front of Little Fox in the pavilion.
Li Nianfan held a black piece with a slight smile. He would make his move from time to
time.
Little Fox was using the white pieces. She bit on one of her hands. Every thought was quick, and she made her moves quickly.
The two of them were toe to toe, and the two sides had already taken up a quarter of the board.
Daji, Fire Phoenix, Shi Tuqin, and the others were looking on by the side, staring in shock.
Dragin said reverently, “Daji, Little Fox is so strong. She’s actually able to face Big Brother to this degree.”
Daji nodded in praise, “My sister’s talent in chess is really amazing.”
Just as she was feeling happy for Little Fox, she could not help but feel a little defeated.
Little Fox’s improvement was incredibly quick. Even Daji was no longer a match for her.
It had been so long, and Little Fox did not seem to do anything. All she did was research various games. Other than play around, Little Fox had not been willing to do anything else.
She had shouted suddenly, saying that she had figured out a sure-win technique and wanted to challenge Li Nianfan.
Everyone had treated it as a joke, thinking she was boasting. Yet, she was actually able to match Li Nianfan to that degree. It was something that no one had done before.
