After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Even the Heavenly Tribulation can be escaped by using "Phoenix Feather".

Shi Yan remained confident.

"if……"

"Are you able to contact the spirit of Uezuki Arashi?"

Last month, Qingqing raised her head.

For righteous cultivators, capturing souls is a violation of natural law and human ethics. However... the "Shangyue Sect" is not an ordinary orthodox sect.

Last month, Qingqing wasn't exactly a normal fairy either.

Behind the "Upper Moon Sect" lies an entity called "Dark Moon".

Shangyue Qingqing, on the other hand, is a born personality distorter.

“I can give it a try.”

"Then come with me..." Shi Yan prepared to call Shang Yue Qingqing to go find Xiao A Li and Xing Jiu.

Little A Li's eighth meridian, the Kun Earth Meridian, which was replenished... is the power of the Earth of Death.

Another name for it is "Youdu".

She is the representative of Youdu on the earth.

Those whose lives she has taken will await her judgment in the hands of the guardians of Youdu.

With the help of Shangyue Lan's spirit, Shangyue Qingqing should be able to find some clues about Shangyue Xin.

And Xingjiu...

She is a genius in the art of array formations, born with exceptional talent.

She single-handedly set up the entire grand formation of Jizhou City.

No matter how hard Shangyue Xin tried to hide it, he couldn't escape Xing Jiu's eyes once he was in the Little Cave World.

A person with an innate personality defect.

Those who improve their physical constitution later in life.

A highly gifted strategist.

Linked together by a thread called Shi Yan, the three Nascent Soul cultivators wove an inescapable giant net, drawing Shang Yuexin into their grasp.

rustling sounds—

The sky above Jizhou City was still covered by gloomy dark clouds, with a light drizzle falling.

At the entrance to the dark alley, Shi Yan stood there.

Behind her were... young girls with different expressions, each one possessing stunning beauty.

Inside the alleyway—

An old, rustic chessboard lay there quietly, its surface dampened by the rain, shrouded in a sinister reddish glow.

On the chessboard... the game had stopped, and it was still in progress.

The letter from last month is still there.

He hid right under everyone's noses.

"Teacher's words..."

Sunken eye sockets, a stooped body.

The shriveled skin clung directly to the bony bones.

A terrifying figure, completely different from the gentle and refined young man of a few days ago, stood in the darkness, watching Shi Yan.

"You've finally arrived."

422 Fall into Hell—Hua Letian? Pure Color Mandala [First Update 4K]

Boom boom boom—

Rainy night...

The deep rumble of thunder seemed to foreshadow the unusual nature of this night.

Lightning illuminated the alley, and inside... there was only a lonely old chessboard lying on the ground, glowing with an eerie reddish light.

"Is this the place?" Shi Yan asked the girl behind him to confirm.

Holding Donghuang Li's dim blue lamp, Shangyue Qingqing nodded gently.

If nothing unexpected happens, Shin should be hiding here last month.

Hiding right under everyone's noses.

Shi Yan wanted to step forward.

"Master Shi Yan, be careful..." Xing Jiu gently reached out and grabbed Shi Yan's sleeve.

She stared nervously at the chessboard. "On that chessboard..."

"It has a very heavy demonic aura."

"Last month, Xin should have... already become possessed by a demon."

As everyone knows, turning evil makes you ten times stronger, while turning good makes you three times weaker.

Already at the peak of the ninth level of the Tribulation Realm and half a step into the Enlightenment Realm, Shang Yuexin would be even more terrifying if he were to become completely corrupted.

"It's okay..." Shi Yan gently took Xing Jiu's hand.

Before--

When Shi Yan led Xing Jiu out of the Xing family's courtyard, Xing Cai, who was squatting on the steps of the opposite courtyard entrance eating rice, almost dropped her bowl on the ground.

She knew that the girl from the Shi family possessed extraordinary charm.

She knew... that girl was the soulmate that Xingke had mentioned.

Back then, Sister Qiyan used the guise of helping Sister Xingke with her trial marriage to turn herself into a supporting character.

But... Xingcai never expected that.

Shi Yan actually managed to bring Xing Jiu into the picture.

You should know that from childhood to adulthood, Xingcai has only seen Sister Xingjiu go out twice.

One time was to overcome a tribulation.

One instance was for setting up a formation.

And then...and then the sky fell down, and she never saw Sister Xingjiu go out.

But... this time, it was just a few words from Miss Shi Yan that led Sister Xing Jiu into this mess, and she even put on makeup.

This is truly bizarre.

Holding Xingjiu's hand tightly, Shiyan looked at the chessboard in the alley.

She had made a promise to the Xingzhuo family.

I will never let the girl get hurt in the slightest.

Raise your head...

The fine, drifting rain seemed to pause for a moment, as if Shi Hongjian were saying to Shi Yan... I am watching you.

To avoid alerting the enemy.

Shi Hongjian did not appear directly beside Shi Yan.

However, according to Shi Hongjian...

Half of Jizhou City was under her surveillance.

She also gave Shi Yan the power of a full-force attack from a Dao Enlightenment Realm cultivator, just in case.

According to Xing Jiu's description.

If Shi Yan directly releases Shi Hongjian's power within the city of Jizhou.

It could even lift the entire city of Jizhou, which was under layers of protection, into the sky.

Shi Yan walked towards the chessboard.

Xingjiu observed the chessboard.

The girl reached out her hand toward the chessboard, but Shi Yan grabbed it and stopped her.

Xing Jiu withdrew her hand somewhat timidly and slowly spoke, "That's 'The Ghost Festival Dream'..."

"A Buddhist treasure nearly of celestial artifact level, but..."

Xingjiu looked at the alternating light and shadow of the dark red light on the chessboard.

"How did it turn out like this?"

The Shangyue Sect is almost the richest holy land in the Nine Provinces and Ten Regions. The rare and precious materials that Shangyue Xin casually pulled out were enough to make Shi Hongjian choke.

Shi Yan was not surprised at all that his most treasured possession was a magical artifact.

Rather than saying it's just close to a celestial artifact, it's rather embarrassing.

“If a Bodhisattva dwells in this liberated one, even within a mustard seed the height and breadth of Mount Sumeru, nothing is added or subtracted…” Xingjiu looked at the chessboard, “Within the chessboard… there is a world.”

"However, it is different from ordinary small grotto-heavens."

"No matter how hidden an ordinary small grotto world may be, it is still connected to the outside world."

"But 'The Ghost Festival Dream'..."

"What's hidden inside are fragments of the world."

In other words, within this chessboard, the rules of the world may be overturned, and everything may follow the rules of another world.

In other words...

The mastery of the world's rules, which is what cultivators at the Enlightenment Realm are most proud of, may be half-ruined.
