Seeing this scene, the artifact spirit’s face blossomed with a sincere smile.

She was born for this moment–

“…Why is your spirituality incomplete?  Then let me complete you…”

With that, the entire artifact spirit and the chessboard behind it shattered with a loud bang, turning into countless white lights that were absorbed by the chessboard floating in midair.

After the chessboard absorbed these white lights, it trembled slightly. Like a customer who had eaten its fill, it burped. Then, as if nothing had happened, it returned to the table and returned to its ordinary appearance.

Because of the disappearance of the ‘enemy’, many of the phenomena in the inner hall began to shrink back into the calligraphy and paintings. Everything returned to peace.

If they had not witnessed this scene with their own eyes, Li Xuanmen and the rest would not have been able to tell what was so special about this ordinary inner hall.

However, when everything happened before their eyes–

Wang Yuyan and the other two who were standing at the door were already stunned.

What did they see?!

The inheritance magic treasure left behind by the Carefree Grand Sage, the celestial artifact-grade Divination Chessboard–

It self-destructed just like that?!

It was torn apart by the calligraphy and paintings, the clay figurines, and the mysterious chessboard in the shop. In the end, it self-destructed?!

It was unbelievable. It was like a dream!

The shock in Li Xuanmen’s heart could not be described with words.

He was worried that the chessboard would mess up the senior’s residence when the senior was not around. However, he did not expect that the senior did not even show his face. Just the calligraphy and paintings and the chessboard he left behind were enough to resolve the crisis of the Divination Chessboard.

However, when he thought about how he had used this chessboard with the senior before and played chess with him, he felt excited.

He was someone who had used at least an immortal artifact…

“Hiss, hiss, hiss–”

Zhu Zhao sucked in a breath of cold air and said bitterly, “It seems that I have underestimated the senior’s realm. I thought that the senior would be able to guide me…”

Wang Yuyan muttered to herself, “The Divination Chessboard is an immortal artifact. Even if the chessboard self-destructs, it is at least an immortal artifact that can absorb an immortal artifact. It might be an upper-grade immortal artifact, or even higher…”

Zhu Zhao also chimed in, “Yes, I have seen Senior use immortal artifact-grade wine flasks and wine cups before…”

Hearing Zhu Zhao’s words, Wang Yuyan suddenly turned her head to look at him. Her stunning face was filled with shock and astonishment.

As for Li Xuanmen, he had long been indulging in self-congratulation.

Right now, he was like a mortal who had suddenly become friendly with an immortal in the sky. A loach and a true dragon knew each other… That feeling was simply indescribable.

“Fairy Wang, I think we should visit Senior another day. After all…”

Zhu Zhao looked at the inner hall with a wry smile.

Wang Yuyan nodded solemnly. She had just seen an immortal artifact destroyed here with her own eyes. In her eyes, this place called the ‘Immortal’s Destiny Little Shop’ was definitely more terrifying than the immemorial fierce land and the graveyard of almighty experts.

Without the permission of that senior, she did not dare to cross the line at all.

‘What kind of person is that senior…’

Thinking to herself, Wang Yuyan flew into the distance with a complicated feeling in her heart…

…

In the distant central plains.

Lofty mountain ranges rose up from the ground like crouching giants lying on the ground.

The spiritual energy on the mountains was overflowing, and birds and beasts could be seen everywhere.

This mountain range, which stretched for more than ten thousand miles, all belonged to a huge force.

The Constellation Dao Palace!

On the most magnificent mountain, there was a magnificent palace with clouds and mist curling up, and immortal sounds could be heard everywhere.

In the palace, a tall, cold-looking middle-aged cultivator with a hint of coldness between his brows was sitting on a chair at the top of the hall, wearing a Daoist robe with his eyes closed.

Below him stood a young cultivator dressed in the standard Daoist robe of the Constellation Dao Palace.

Seeing that the person he had been waiting for had finally arrived, the middle-aged cultivator at the top opened his eyes and looked down. He said softly, “You’re here.”

The young man bowed respectfully and said, “Jiangliu pays his respects to the sect leader.”

“I wonder, sect leader, what instructions do you have for calling me here?”

The middle-aged cultivator smiled and pointed at a chessboard placed in the main hall. He asked, “Do you recognize this chessboard?”

The young man turned his head to look. This was a black chessboard. There was nothing out of the ordinary about it. There were only one big word carved in the middle of the chessboard.

‘Constellation.’

The young man looked at the chessboard and said respectfully, “Of course I know. This is the legacy treasure of our Constellation Dao Palace. Only the successive sect leaders can control it, the Starry Constellation Chessboard!”

The middle-aged cultivator nodded and asked, “Then do you know who created the Starry Constellations Chessboard?”

The young man smiled confidently and replied, “Sect Master, are you joking? I’m afraid that even the boy who started the fire in the Starry Constellations Daoist Palace knows about this problem.

The Starry Constellations Chessboard was created by the founder of the Starry Constellations Daoist Palace, the Carefree Grand Sage. The Carefree Grand Sage used this magic treasure to kill the Demonic Grand Sage, who was once invincible. As a result, his name shook the entire central plains.

The middle-aged Daoist nodded and shook his head.

“You were right in the beginning, but you were wrong in the end.”

The young man’s face froze. He was stunned.

How could this be? Everyone knew about this…

The middle-aged man continued, “The Starry Constellation Chessboard was created by the Carefree Grand Sage. It is true that the old ancestor killed the Demonic Grand Sage. However, it was not the Starry Constellation Chessboard that shocked the world when the old ancestor killed the Demonic Grand Sage.

It was the Sun and Moon Chessboard.”

“Sun and Moon Chessboard?!”

The young man blinked. He had never heard of such a thing.

The middle-aged man’s eyes were blurry as he reminisced. He said slowly, “Everyone knows that the Carefree Grand Sage, the founder of the Constellation Dao Palace, was a mortal.

However, he used chess to step into the Dao. He rose to the top and became an immortal who ascended to the Heavenly Realm in just ten thousand years.

“I wonder how the old ancestor suddenly entered the Dao back then?”

The young man stood respectfully by the side, indicating that he wanted to continue listening.

The middle-aged Daoist smiled and continued, “Actually, the old ancestor was enlightened by a treasure in his dream back then, and only then did he comprehend the Great Dao and began cultivating…”

Seeing that the sect leader was not talking about what happened next, the young man also anxiously asked, “May I ask, Sect Master, what treasure was enlightened?”

The middle-aged Daoist nodded and said calmly, “It’s a chessboard with the words ‘Sun and Moon’ written on it. It contains the Sun, moon, stars, rivers, galaxy, and seas. It uses the Heaven and Earth as the chessboard, and the stars as the chess pieces. It even contains a world…”
