I Turn Out to Be a Grand Master Chapter 36

When the two figures disappeared, the cultivators who were watching in the distance were also stunned.

“Did… the Heavenly Dao lose?”

“How is it possible? How can someone still challenge the Heavenly Dao and not only escape unscathed, but also win?”

Everyone had a look of disbelief on their faces.

Such a thing was simply too shocking… No, it was unheard of!

After hearing Liu Changgong's ‘arrogant words', the Heavenly Dao was powerless to gather the guardians once again.

However, this nameless valley was still filled with lightning and wild winds.

It was as if they were venting their anger for his arrogant words.

However, such extreme weather did not last for long.

After absorbing the spiritual energy from the broken chessboard, a few rays of light shot out from the entrance of the cave abode.

Wang Yuyan, Yu Hongye, and the other cultivators who had played chess for a long time and had a large number of moves were enveloped by this ray of light and were dragged into the air.

The entrance of the cave abode lit up with white light. The cultivators on the scene were excited and expectant as they looked towards the entrance of the cave abode.

The test was over. Was the Xiaoyao Grand Sage's cave abode finally about to open?

The Nascent Soul stage cultivator who had been studying chess for a long time was the first to obtain the treasure that was drawn out by the white light from the cave abode.

First, the chess game between the cultivator and the illusory figure appeared. Then, a ball of golden light flew out of the cave abode and landed in the hands of the Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

Within the golden light was an ancient and exquisite jade box.

The cultivator reached out and gently grabbed it. When he opened the jade box, a ray of multicolored light immediately bloomed.

Inside the jade box lay a pure white and flawless medicinal pill.

“The medicinal pill's halo is restrained. It's a spirit pill. It's most likely a longevity-extending medicinal pill…”

The experienced and knowledgeable cultivators present immediately cried out in alarm.

Many people were moved.

Longevity-extending medicinal pills were the rarest. Many of the ingredients had even disappeared in the ancient times, or even gone extinct.

Consuming such a spirit pill could probably extend one's life by a hundred years.

After a while, it was Yu Hongye's turn. Besides Wang Yuyan, she had persisted for the longest time, and she had also played the most.

The golden light she obtained was an even larger ball. This golden light was wrapped around a green short sword. The sword's spine was smooth, and it was covered in fish scales. It looked very beautiful.

The short sword suddenly broke through the golden light and let out a clear sword cry. It circled in the air for a while before it slowly flew in front of Yu Hongye and let out a clear light.

The sharp aura that leaked out like a broken silver bottle caused the hearts of all the cultivators to tremble.

“Profound artifact! This short sword is so sharp and full of spirituality. It is at least a high-grade profound artifact, or even a top-grade one!”

The cultivators present were so envious that their eyes turned red.

That was a profound artifact.

It was unknown how many Dharma Idol realm cultivators didn't have such a profound artifact in their hands, let alone a high-grade one.

However, even though they were envious, they couldn't do anything about it. After all, they didn't even last seven or eight moves.

They could only blame themselves for being disappointing and lacking in strength. Even if the opportunity was placed in front of them, they wouldn't be able to grasp it.

After the two rewards had been distributed, everyone's eyes were all focused on one person.

Wang Yuyan!

Although she had invited outside help, she was the only one who had cracked the chess game. This could not be changed.

At the same time, everyone started to look forward to it. The reward for playing more than 10 hands was a longevity-extending elixir. The reward for playing more than 20 hands was a top-grade profound artifact sword. If she solved the chess game…

What reward would she receive from the Xiaoyao Grand Sage?!

Everyone was looking forward to it.

Among them, the ones who were looking forward to it the most were Li Xuanmen and Wang Yuyan.

Li Xuanmen had helped his goddess to obtain the treasure. He also wanted to see what kind of treasure it was. Naturally, he was very looking forward to it. Furthermore, he believed that Fairy Wang Yuyan would definitely compensate him.

Wang Yuyan was looking at the entrance of the cave in anticipation. She wanted to see what kind of treasure she would obtain. She was so nervous that she almost forgot to breathe.

Very soon, ripples appeared in the void at the entrance.

Green light was emitted from within.

Then, it grew bigger and bigger.

Boom–

Endless green light shot out from the void like the milky way.

A dazzling and blinding green light slowly floated out from the cave abode. It was as if a second sun had appeared in the field, facing the sun in the sky. The intense light almost made people unable to open their eyes.

Just this momentum alone was more than Yu Hongye's sword from before. It was more than a thousand or even ten thousand times stronger than the fish scale treasured sword of the profound artifact grade.

“What is it?!”

“What treasure is this?”

Such questions surged in everyone's hearts.

What was faintly hidden in the dense green light seemed to be one big, two small. It was three things. The big one was square, and one could only roughly see its outline.

Was it a magic treasure?!

Or…

The intense green light continued for the time it took for an incense stick to burn, and finally began to weaken. Everyone's eyes fixed, and they finally saw it clearly.

It was a chessboard.

A black chessboard.

It was almost occupied by all kinds of scratches. Only the middle part was flawless, and there were only two vigorous and powerful words on it.

Divination Chessboard!

As the light disappeared, a majestic aura was released from it. It was both majestic and terrifying…

All the cultivators trembled under this aura. Even the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stage cultivators were trembling.

It was as if they had seen a terrifying beast.

Yu Hongye stared at the chessboard. The shock in her eyes was almost tangible, she said mechanically, “This is the secret of the heavens. This is the immortal item that the Xiaoyao Grand Sage carried with him all those years ago. When he ascended to the upper realm, he did not take it with him. Instead, he left it in his cave abode. This is unbelievable…”

Celestial artifact! What an unfamiliar yet familiar term.

It had been a long time since they last saw it in the human world. Even high-level cultivators only used magic treasures and profound artifacts.

Just as everyone was exclaiming at the birth of the celestial artifact, the gray chessboard suddenly trembled slightly.

A ripple appeared on the chessboard and a figure slowly emerged from it.

It was a sleeping woman. Her snow-white long hair fell to her waist, and her face was very delicate. Her skin was like a piece of beautiful jade.

She slowly opened her eyes. One was black, and the other was white. There was no pupil in either of her eyes, and she looked extremely demonic.

“Tell me, where is the person who plays chess with me?

“Where is the person who played chess with me?”
