After transforming into a fairy, I, in my simulation, wreaked havoc in the cultivation world.

"Senior, it's the same to let a junior's Daoist partner receive the inheritance."

Liu Guanzhi remained calm.

At his level of mastery of formations, one relies on forging one's own path; the teachings of others can only serve as a reference.

Therefore, all you need to do afterward is to copy the core content of the inheritance for him.

Seeing you looking at her with shining eyes, the woman in white, Shen Guanqi, still gazed at Liu Guanzhi with unwavering devotion.

"Three thousand years ago, I was ranked third in the True Monarch Record. If I hadn't been unable to set up an array beforehand, even the top two might not have been my match. Are you sure you don't want to?"

[Liu Guanzhi calmly shook his head.]

"Senior sister, my talent for formations is also quite good."

[You interject at an appropriate time.]

Shen Guanqi ignored you and turned her gaze to the other three.

[Gu Chengyi, the real-life fugitive, is the most ruthless.]

"Apart from Kendo, everything else is heresy."

Shen Guanqi gritted his teeth in anger, then looked at Lin Bufan.

"Please give it to Senior Sister Lin."

[After meeting your longing gaze, Xiao Fanzi decisively refused.]

His senior sister had done him a great favor; he absolutely could not be an ungrateful person!

[As for the last one, Fairy Qingheng, she skipped over her entirely; her talent in array formations is even inferior to yours.]

Finally, she looked at you, who were smiling brightly, with a somber expression.

【"Sigh~"】

After a moment of eye contact, Shen Guanqi sighed helplessly.

The ruins have been opened, and her time is limited. If this remnant soul dissipates, the sect's lineage will be completely severed.

"Alright, you should go elsewhere. There are other opportunities within the ruins."

Shen Guanqi waved his hand and floated towards the depths of the main hall.

"Keep up."

Your eyes lit up, and you quickly followed.

Deep within the main hall, in an even more secluded passage, the walls were covered with densely packed array patterns.

Finally, the two of you stopped in front of a stone gate.

Shen Guanqi looked at the stone door with a complex expression, then after a moment raised his hand and pointed it at the very center of the door.

A deep blue aura slowly illuminated the stone gate, outlining a complex chessboard pattern.

"Boom!"

The moment the chessboard was completed, the stone doors slowly receded to the sides, revealing not a stone chamber, but a vast, boundless chessboard.

"My school is called 'Chess House'."

Shen Guanqi's figure slowly descended into the chessboard, his ethereal voice echoing through the void.

"Use heaven and earth as the chessboard, and all living beings and things as the chess pieces. Watch closely!"

She raised her hand and waved it, and the once lifeless chessboard seemed to come alive.

The black and white light surged in from all directions like a tide, spreading across the chessboard.

Countless array patterns, like an inverted galaxy, unfold layer by layer before your eyes.

You held your breath, your pupils reflecting the swirling array patterns. Although you couldn't understand them, thanks to the powerful memory of a cultivator, you firmly imprinted the scene before you into your mind.

Those array patterns, though seemingly chaotic, actually conform to the laws governing the operation of heaven and earth.

"The difficulty of array formations lies not in the complexity of the runes, but in the variations within them. Our sect's inheritance is called the 'Heavenly Chess Scripture,' which uses the chessboard to observe the universe, and then uses the universe to aid the chessboard, thereby further simplifying the variations of array formations."

The scene before them continued to shift, and the remnant soul of the woman in white faded even further.

"When you can see that every inch of the world is filled with array patterns, then you will have completed your apprenticeship."

Only when the last ray of starlight fell did you curiously look at the white figure in mid-air.

"Senior sister, have you completed your apprenticeship?"

Shen Guanqi's temple throbbed.

【"Shut up!"】

Hmm, judging from this attitude, he's clearly not a fully trained apprentice yet.

You silently shut your mouth.

Even a genius praised by Old Liu has stopped at the stage of exploration; you now have a clearer understanding of the difficulty of the art of formations.

【"come over!"】

[The stunningly beautiful female voice rang out again, and you cautiously moved to the center of the array plate.]

The next moment, the array patterns beneath your feet suddenly lit up.

Shen Guanqi conjured a white jade chess piece from his fingertip and gently flicked it towards your brow.

【boom!】

The moment the chess piece sank in, a massive amount of information flooded into his mind like a torrent.

[Three thousand years of insights into formations poured forth.]

You knelt on one knee, veins bulging on your forehead, your teeth clenched so tightly they were grinding.

[Logically speaking, a Golden Core cultivator shouldn't be receiving three thousand years of memories in such a way, especially information that has been simplified to only include insights into formations.]

However, your understanding of formations is too superficial. These obscure and difficult concepts require a great deal of effort to memorize and break down.

That's why it had such a huge impact on your consciousness.

After a long while, you felt the pain slowly subside. Before you could react, an ancient chessboard appeared before you.

Shen Guanqi's voice came from the void, even softer and more ethereal than before.

"The chessboard should be handed over to you now, junior sister. If you ever have the chance, you can visit our sect's ancestral land."

As she finished speaking, her figure began to transform into specks of light, slowly dissipating upwards from her feet.

"Respectfully seeing off Senior Sister."

You bowed deeply into the void, remaining there for a long time.

Only after the light faded did you slowly straighten up and exhale a breath of stale air.

The complex emotions in his eyes gradually subsided, replaced by an unprecedented resolve.

[She, Lin Qingyu, would never fall to this point!]

【...】

Seven days later, your group returned to Yangcheng in batches.

Luo Chongshan stared sternly at the five people standing obediently in a row, his tone unfriendly.

"Where have you guys been these past few days?"

"Doesn't the sect leader already know...?"

[Lin Bufan muttered something under his breath, and you silently gave him a thumbs up in your heart.]

[Your departure certainly didn't escape the notice of this peak Nascent Soul expert, but you still dare to expose it at a time like this.]

Xiao Fanzi, I admire you as a true man!

【"Bang!"】

【really.】

The next moment, Lin Bufan felt his body suddenly sink, and then he was buried in the ground, leaving only his head looking around in a daze.

"You tell me."

Luo Chongshan glared at you, who were secretly laughing, with an unfriendly expression.

"Sect Leader, it's like this... Waibi Babo, Aba Aba..."

[In your narration, you proclaimed the might of the Primordial Sword Court, utterly defeating all the prodigies from all sides, and ultimately obtaining a heaven-defying inheritance.]

"Not bad... um..."

Luo Chongshan's brows slowly relaxed, and he occasionally nodded in agreement.

He looked at you with admiration, about to offer a few words of praise, when gasps of surprise came from outside the alley.

"Quick, go see! The City Lord's Mansion has issued a bounty. Apparently, a few petty thieves impersonating the Primordial Sword Court stole the inheritance."

"Wuxianglou and Liuyingge have also released theirs!"

[“Xumi Temple has announced that it wants to discuss Buddhist teachings with those benefactors.”]

Luo Chongshan slowly turned his head, staring intently at your innocent-looking eyes.

【"Lin! Qing! Yu!"】
