Open up and break into another world

Unraveling the Celestial Chessboard.

Huanggu Guang was deciphering it with near-madness.

"Only four moves away from Xu Ming! I will definitely cultivate faster than him! I will definitely reclaim the throne of 'First Disciple'!" Huanggu Guang’s eyes burned with fighting spirit, reflecting the incredibly complex transformations of the Celestial Chessboard. "The First Disciple can only be me!"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in Huanggu Guang’s eyes: "I already know how to break the next move!"

Just then, a figure appeared—it was Elder Huangyou.

"Master!" Huanggu Guang quickly stepped down from the Celestial Chessboard and asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"

Elder Huangyou was somewhat annoyed and questioned, "What are you doing?"

"Deciphering the Celestial Chessboard," Huanggu Guang answered honestly.

"Can deciphering this enhance your strength?" Elder Huangyou asked again.

"No…" Huanggu Guang’s voice was a little soft, "But, it can improve my Dao Foundation!"

"Hmph!" Elder Huangyou snorted coldly, "Wasting time to improve your Dao Foundation by one or two levels—what’s the use? Isn't it just that you want to participate in the Myriad Domain Genius Battle as the 'First Disciple'?"

"But, Master…" Huanggu Guang gritted his teeth, "Being suppressed by a newcomer, I'm not willing! I…"

*Slap!*

Elder Huangyou directly slapped Huanggu Guang across the face with his sleeve, sending him flying far away.

"I tried to reason with you, but it's useless, is it!?" Elder Huangyou roared, "I told you not to waste time deciphering the Celestial Chessboard, so don't waste time! Why so much nonsense!? Honestly, get back to cultivation!"

"I…" Huanggu Guang didn't dare to say anything more—he finally remembered that his master didn't have a good temper! He deserved to be slapped for daring to contradict him.

"Yes!" Huanggu Guang scurried away from the Celestial Chessboard with his tail between his legs.

However, his heart was still full of resentment: "I am the First Disciple, what is Xu Ming? Hmph! I'll let you be proud for a while on the Celestial Chessboard! When the Myriad Domain Genius Battle arrives, I will show you who the real genius is!"

After scolding Huanggu Guang and sending him away, Elder Huangyou stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the Celestial Chessboard, his thoughts unfathomable.

"The Dao Foundation should naturally be as solid as possible! If my Dao Foundation could reach over 95,000 levels, then cultivation would be much easier; I wouldn't be trapped in the Nirvana Realm for countless epochs without any progress!" Elder Huangyou sighed inwardly.

The Dao Foundation can, to some extent, determine future achievements! However, as Elder Huangyou said before, one or two levels of Dao Foundation are of little significance.

"That Xu Ming, born in the ruins, actually has a Dao Foundation of over 90,000 levels… Rare! Truly rare!" Elder Huangyou thought to himself, "Unfortunately, he has already been won over by Tianjing; in the future, he should also be on Tianjing's side…"

The Azure Sky Gate is also divided into several factions.

However, the infighting between factions is not very intense; at least on the surface, they are still relatively gentle.

...

"Huanggu Guang was deciphering the Celestial Chessboard, got scolded by Elder Huangyou, and even got slapped!"

This news quickly reached Xu Ming's ears.

Xu Ming was speechless: "This unlucky kid, isn't it just deciphering a Celestial Chessboard? How did he get scolded by his parents?"

Xu Ming originally just wanted to tease Huanggu Guang with this Celestial Chessboard; now that Huanggu Guang is backing down and doesn't dare to continue playing, Xu Ming naturally won't care much.

...

Half a month later.

A man in a silver star robe came to visit Elder Huangyou.

"Sect Leader Cantian!" This man in a silver star robe was indeed Sect Leader Cantian; however, Elder Huangyou spoke with a lazy expression and a hint of contempt, "What do you want from me?"

The Cantian Sect is just a very ordinary fifth-grade force in Taichu City; Sect Leader Cantian is only at the low level of the Destruction Realm. Elder Huangyou, a Nirvana Realm expert, naturally doesn't need to give him any face.

Sect Leader Cantian obviously knew very well that his status was "humble"; therefore, he didn't dare to have any opinions about Elder Huangyou's attitude, but instead showed even more respect: "I have long wanted to visit Elder Huangyou! However, Elder Huangyou, you have always been in seclusion, and I didn't dare to disturb you; it was only a few days ago that I heard that Elder Huangyou had emerged, so I came to visit…"

Elder Huangyou waved his hand impatiently and said, "Get straight to the point, don't beat around the bush!"

"Yes!" Sect Leader Cantian said quickly, "I want to ask Elder Huangyou to come forward and say a few words for me!"

Elder Huangyou remained expressionless.

Sect Leader Cantian continued, "My subordinates were ignorant and offended Xu Ming, so…"

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

"Hmph!" Elder Huangyou snorted coldly upon hearing this, "The Cantian Sect's guts are really getting bigger and bigger, daring to even rob my Azure Sky Gate's Gold-Robed Disciples!?"

Elder Huangyou naturally knew what kind of activities the Cantian Sect was engaged in in the Land of Beginning.

Elder Huangyou's cold snort was not to stand up for Xu Ming, but to maintain the prestige of the Azure Sky Gate's Gold-Robed Disciples.

Sect Leader Cantian said with a mournful face: "If they had known that Xu Ming was an Azure Sky Gate Gold-Robed Disciple, they wouldn't have dared to intercept Xu Ming even if they had a hundred times the courage… I was extremely frightened after learning about it; therefore, I wanted to ask Elder Huangyou to come forward and say a few words!"

In fact, the conflict between Xu Ming and the Cantian Sect could be big or small! If Elder Huangyou was willing to come forward and intercede, it could naturally be easily resolved.

As Sect Leader Cantian spoke, he handed over two World Rings. Obviously, one of the World Rings was an apology to Xu Ming; the other was a thank-you gift to Elder Huangyou.

"Alright! For the sake of our many years of acquaintance, I'll help you with this!" Elder Huangyou said lightly.

"Thank you, Elder Huangyou!" Sect Leader Cantian quickly kowtowed to express his gratitude.

After Sect Leader Cantian left…

"The conflict between Xu Ming and the Cantian Sect?" Elder Huangyou revealed a hint of playfulness, "What does it have to do with me? If Xu Ming goes to retaliate against the Cantian Sect, I'll be happy to watch the show!"

Elder Huangyou calmly pocketed both World Rings, a sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth: "These little things can just be rewarded to the disciples!"

Obviously, Elder Huangyou had no intention of interceding for Sect Leader Cantian at all. The apology that Sect Leader Cantian sent to Xu Ming was also directly intercepted by him.

...

Time flies.

In Taichu City, a hundred years of time is as short as a snap of the fingers.

The Myriad Domain Genius Battle is finally about to begin!

A plot transition to enter the Myriad Domain Genius Battle!!
