On the Heavenly Mountain
Two figures sat cross-legged.
Withered and old, it was as if he had seen the prosperity of the world.
There was a simple chessboard between the two of them, with black and white chess pieces on it.
"There's actually such a little fellow in this era!”
"He seems to have sensed something?"
Duan Yu said with a chuckle. He waved his right hand gently, and a white piece fell into the chessboard.
"His martial dao seems to be somewhat unusual.”
"This should be the cultivation method of Daoism.”
"Third brother, you're going to lose!"
Xu Zhu said with a smile, and a black piece silently fell into another spot.
The two of them played chess in the courtyard.
However, it seemed as if not a single speck of snow had fallen on them.
A hundred years had passed, and the two of them had no idea what level they had stepped into.
As the proud sons of heaven from a hundred years ago, their talent was unquestionable.
And the opportunities that the two of them had were even more out of everyone's reach.
Duan Yu. He was the adopted son of the Dali Kingdom's King Zhennan, Duan Zhengchun, and the emperor of the Dali Kingdom. When he was young, he accidentally entered the Langhuan Blessed Land of Wuliang Mountain and learned the " Wave Subtle Steps " and " Northern Dark Divine Skill " from a jade statue in the cave.
A hundred years ago, he and his brothers from Beggar's Sect, Qiao Feng, and Xiaoyao Sect, Xu Zhu, dominated the world.
His second brother was undoubtedly the leader of the Carefree Sect. He was the son of the abbot of Shaolin Temple. He occasionally received Wu Yazi's inheritance or decades of cultivation. He was also one of the three influential figures a hundred years ago.
A hundred years was enough to change a lot. The two originally handsome people had now entered a withered state.
However, a hundred years could not erase too much.
The memories were long gone, yet they seemed to be right before his eyes.
That year, that day, outside Yanmen Pass, that imposing figure was still vaguely in front of him.
However, it seemed so far away.
On the mountain peak, the two of them stood quietly without saying a word.
There was only the sound of black and white chess pieces falling.
After a moment, Duan Yu broke the silence.
"Second brother, Carefree Sect!"
Duan Yu said in a low voice as he looked at the ruins on Sky Mountain.
In a hundred years, he could almost be said to have witnessed the decline of Carefree Sect with his own eyes.
"The rise and fall of fate, the flowers bloom and wither, the coffin is gone, and the carefree is gone. There are some things that I have already done, but if I can't achieve them, then I can't achieve them. There are no schools that can be passed down through the ages. Third brother, isn't the Withering and Flourishing that you comprehended the same!”
Xu Zhu's right hand paused for a moment, but he still placed the chess piece down and spoke in a leisurely voice.
Duan Yu shook his head and didn't try to persuade him any further. Instead, he looked down and laughed.
"Those two little fellows are coming up. Should we meet them or not?”
The same white piece fell, and the two of them actually entered a state of equal strength at this moment.
"Let's go!"
"We two old fellows should never appear in front of the world again.”
Xuzhu said softly and stood up.
In the next moment, he disappeared without a trace.
Duan Yu couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. At the same time, his figure disappeared at this moment.
The two of them disappeared as if there was no special aura. The chessboard was covered in white snow, and it was even completely buried.
About fifteen minutes after the two of them disappeared.
Jiang Chen and Qiu Chuji also arrived at Ethereal Peak.
Even though the path to Ethereal Peak was a natural chasm.
But neither of them were ordinary people. Not to mention Qiu Chuji, Jiang Chen was an immortal cultivator, so it was naturally not a problem.
Stepping into Ethereal Peak, Jiang Chen glanced at the chessboard.
"Is it really an illusion?"
He frowned slightly. The strange feeling he felt earlier came from the chessboard, but there seemed to be only a chessboard covered in snow. There was nothing else.
At this moment, Jiang Chen really suspected that it was an illusion.
Qiu Chuji's eyes widened.
Compared to Gusu Murong, Ethereal Peak was clearly in a much better state.
Shattered palaces appeared in front of him, making Qiu Chuji feel the vastness and magnificence brought by that era.
"This!"
As he spoke, his expression could not help but change.
Even though he had already overestimated the Vulture Palace and the Carefree Sect, he still understood how powerful the Carefree Sect had once been when he saw the continuous halls.
One had to know that this was the Heavenly Mountain that was thousands of meters above sea level. How much strength was needed to build these?
"Let's go in and take a look. I hope it's not damaged!”
Jiang Chen retracted his thoughts and didn't look at the chessboard again. Instead, he walked into the palace.
Since it was very likely that it was really an illusion, there was no need to delve deeper. It was better to head towards his goal first.
His footsteps moved.
His perception spread throughout the entire Vulture Palace.
It had to be said that the Vulture Palace was indeed well-preserved.
Even after a hundred years, there were still many buildings in the Vulture Palace that had not been completely destroyed.
Under such circumstances, Jiang Chen quickly found the engraved stone wall.
"Found it!"
Jiang Chen said with excitement. He didn't care about Qiu Chuji and disappeared in a flash.
"Junior Brother!"
Qiu Chuji was still shocked by the entire Vulture Palace. When he saw Jiang Chen disappear, he was shocked and quickly followed.
Some of them were already in the collapsed cave.
Jiang Chen appeared.
His gaze instantly turned to the stone wall.
The stone walls were polished and smooth, and the stone walls were engraved with countless circles about a foot in diameter. Each circle was engraved with all kinds of patterns. Some were human figures, some were animal figures, some were incomplete words, and some were just marks and lines. Beside the circles were numbers such as " A1 "," A2 "," Z1 ", and " Z2 ". If there were not more than a thousand circles, there were at least eight or nine hundred of them.
It could be said to be densely packed.
Looking at these patterns, Jiang Chen's figure also paused at this moment.
