Jian Shisan stood at the back, side by side with Gu Qingyu and the others. Only Ye Qinghan stood at the door. He bowed and said, "I'm here to meet the Chess Saint under the orders of the senior."
No sound came from the hall. Everyone watching from afar had strange smiles on their faces, especially Xia Jiulong. He mocked, "This person is so confident that he's brainless. This is the time when the Chess Saint is comprehending eternity. Time is so precious that he doesn't even meet the other saints. Does he really not know or is he pretending not to know?"
"He came to disturb the Chess Saint, and Jian Shisan didn't stop him. If the upper echelons of the holy land of swordsmanship knew about this, these five people who disturbed the saint's comprehension would probably be sentenced to death. When the time comes, Your Highness won't even have to do anything," Xuan Xiu bowed and whispered.
Xia Jiulong smiled coldly and waved his hand. "Go and inform the upper echelons of the holy land of swordsmanship. It's best to alert the Eternal Saint of swordsmanship. I want to see a good show today."
"Yes!" Xuan Xiu bowed and left.
…
There was silence on the Sacred Chess Peak. The Sacred Chess Venerate did not seem to hear the commotion outside, nor did he hear Ye Qinghan's request for an audience.
Ye Qinghan stood respectfully and did not move. However, Jian Shisan was a little flustered. He quickly ran forward and pulled Ye Qinghan's sleeve. He whispered, "Brother, don't get me in trouble. Did Uncle-Master really summon you?"
Ye Qinghan nodded and whispered back, "Of course it's true. Would I joke about something like this?"
Jian Shisan was still a little worried. He said, "Let's leave first. When Uncle-Master comes out, he will naturally summon you. Otherwise, disturbing the Eternal Saint's seclusion is a crime punishable by death."
Ye Qinghan hesitated. Just as he was about to leave, a deep and gentle voice came from the hall.
"Come in."
Creak —
The door opened automatically. The hall was dazzling, shining like stars. It was like chess pieces were moving. It contained the Heavenly Way's reincarnation and nature's mystical methods. Even an unparalleled expert would be lost in it.
Ye Qinghan quickly stepped into the hall and followed a passageway that led deep into the palace. The palace was only a hundred feet long, but after walking for a few hundred meters, he still hadn't reached the end.
After walking for about a kilometer, a bright light appeared in front of them. Ye Qinghan increased his speed and stepped out of the tunnel. In front of him was a completely different valley! It was as beautiful as a fairyland. Immortal cranes soared into the sky, spiritual birds soared into the sky, and ancient vicious beasts were actually as gentle as kittens, respectfully looking at a white-haired elder.
The elder was none other than Chess Venerable Saint. He sat on a huge chessboard, as if the earth was his chessboard and the mountains were his chess pieces. He moved the mountains and rivers in a majestic manner.
A waterfall hung in the air, descending from the sky. It was like a flowing river of stars, and the floating mist was like immortal qi.
Ye Qinghan was dumbfounded. He never thought that there would be such a place in Sacred Chess Peak.
Whoosh!
The chessboard beneath Chess Venerable Saint rapidly shrank to about the size of three houses. He sat in the middle of the world river, and the chess pieces on the chessboard were engraved with ancient script. Although it was the simplest Chinese chess, it contained all kinds of changes. Even a single move could cause the world to change colors!
"Come here."
Chess Venerable Saint's words and actions were adhered to. It was just a simple sentence, but it made Ye Qinghan's body involuntarily fly towards the chessboard. Ye Qinghan couldn't even control his own body!
Ye Qinghan was appalled. At that moment, he understood how strong and terrifying an Eternal Being was!
Compared to a middle-level or high-level Eternal Being, it was like the difference between a deity and an ordinary mortal. A single thought of an Eternal Being could kill thousands of high-level Eternal Beings!
"Senior … Why did you summon me?" Ye Qinghan landed on one end of the chessboard and asked in surprise.
An existence like an Eternal Being didn't seem to have anything to do with Ye Qinghan, who was at the middle-level Eternal Being. The vision of such an existence seemed to only look at existences of the same level. At that moment, Ye Qinghan was also confused.
"You are the first to meet an Eternal Being who doesn't kneel." Chess Venerable Saint slowly stood up. His white hair fluttered, and his white robes were like snow. He was like an immortal, so strong that he could split the heavens with a wave of his hand. However, he didn't give Ye Qinghan any pressure when he stood in front of him.
This was the state of mind!
Other than Green Lotus Sword Immortal, only Chess Venerable Saint could do this.
"No one in the world dares to disrespect the might of a Sage. I have always been in awe of the Chess Venerable. The Sage naturally wouldn't be impressed by my kneeling." Ye Qinghan bowed respectfully as he replied.
"Hahaha … I knew it. Your mouth can make the dead come alive. Your brain is full of schemes." Chess Venerable Saint laughed heartily.
Ye Qinghan laughed awkwardly as he waited for Chess Venerable Saint to explain his purpose for summoning him.
However, Chess Venerable Saint didn't say anything else. Instead, he gestured with his hand and said, "I didn't summon you for any other reason. I just feel that you are different, so I want to play a game of chess with you."
A black line appeared on Ye Qinghan's forehead. He smiled bitterly and said, "Saint, please don't put me down. Your chess skills have already reached the pinnacle of perfection. How can my half-baked skills catch your eye?"
However, Chess Venerable Saint wasn't prepared to let Ye Qinghan off. Instead, he said truthfully, "I just want to see how the most treacherous person in the world moves differently from an ordinary person. Actually, I wanted to play a game of chess with you the first time you entered the Sword Principle Sect. However, time didn't allow for it. In addition, I wasn't familiar with you, so I delayed it until now."
Ye Qinghan was speechless. He asked in return, "Sage, why don't you use vulgarities when you scold me? How am I the most treacherous person? "
Chess Venerable Saint laughed and walked to the other side of the chessboard. He said with a smile, "You know best whether my evaluation is true or not. In fact, being the most treacherous person isn't a derogatory term. To me, it's an evaluation of a formidable person. Or rather, I'm praising you."
Ye Qinghan's forehead broke out in cold sweat. He thought to himself, "This old man's soul is probably beyond my reach. He can see through my origin and even detect my thoughts …"
"A person's thoughts are unpredictable. A person's heart is like water and can change at will. However, a person's expression can be deciphered. A person's eyes will always betray their heart. The first time I saw you, I knew that you would be an outstanding person in the future. You will have people with great strategies by your side to assist you. You will have a general who can charge and break through enemy lines. As long as you don't die early, you will definitely have a share of this world."
Sure enough, Chess Venerable Saint saw through Ye Qinghan's thoughts. Or rather, he saw through the essence of Ye Qinghan's eyes!
Ye Qinghan suddenly wanted to escape. He felt uncomfortable being under the old man's gaze. It was like a beautiful woman standing naked in front of a pervert.
"Don't even think about running. I summoned you from afar just to play a game of chess with you. Otherwise, how could a small force like your Arrogant Sect receive an invitation personally written by the Sword Principle Eternal Sage?" Chess Venerable Saint said faintly.
