The youth’s face revealed a look of shock. He had never heard of such a secret technique.
“...Back then, it was because he saw this chessboard in his dream that he stepped into the Dao. In order to commemorate this chessboard, the first magic item that he refined after he arrived was the Starry Constellation chessboard.”
“This magic item had always been by his side. It helped him to trap and kill the Demonic Grand Sage. It was also an immortal item.”
“Later on, in order to find the chessboard in his dream, he refined the Starry Constellation Chessboard once again. He refined it into a divination device so that he could better deduce the location of this treasure.
“The celestial item of our Constellation Dao Palace, the Starry Constellation Chessboard, was something that he refined later on. Although it is more suitable for protecting the Dao, it is not as good as the former for us disciples.”
The young man could not help but exclaim, “The celestial artifacts in this world are so rare. The old ancestor was actually able to create two of them. Moreover, our Starry Constellation Chessboard is so heaven-defying, yet it is only an imitation?”
The Daoist smiled and said, “Actually, I don’t know either. Perhaps this chessboard is the manifestation of the old ancestor enlightened by the immortals of the upper realm. Perhaps the old ancestor had already obtained it when he ascended...”
The young man clenched his right fist and pressed his palms together. He sighed in admiration and turned his head to ask in puzzlement, “Sect Master, you didn’t call me here today to tell me these stories, right?”
The Daoist laughed. “Alright, it’s hard to understand. Aren’t you curious about where the other chessboard of the ancestor is?”
Only then did the young man react.
Yes, the Starry Constellation Chessboard was in the sect, but what about the divination from before?
The Daoist looked at the young man’s puzzled expression. He nodded his head in satisfaction and continued, “I have been in control of the Starry Constellation Chessboard for many years. A few days ago, I suddenly sensed the aura of another chessboard left behind by the patriarch. However, the strange thing is that it suddenly disappeared not long after it appeared.
“I want you to make that trip. It’s best if you can bring this thing back.”
“I see.” The young man revealed a look of realization. He finally understood.
No wonder the Sect Master had spoken so much to him today. It turned out that he wanted him to run errands.
The young man nodded and asked, “Sect Master, where did the aura of the divination appear?”
The Daoist turned his head to look behind the young man. His deep gaze seemed to pass through the vast mountains and reach an extremely distant place.
He said faintly, “The birthplace of the patriarch, the Southern Domain!”
The young man nodded and bowed deeply. “Disciple Jianglu accepts the order!”
...
Immortal’s Destiny Small Shop.
The empty small shop was quiet, peaceful, and peaceful.
Suddenly, this peace was broken by a trace of fluctuation. The words ‘Sun and Moon’ in the middle of the chessboard on the table rippled.
A chubby little hand suddenly appeared in the void. It pressed on the edge of the chessboard and suddenly struggled free.
A petite and exquisite figure completely appeared in the room.
It was a five or six-year-old little girl who was carved from jade.
Her snow-white long hair fell to her waist. There were no pupils in her eyes. One was black and the other was white. She looked somewhat sinister and demonic.
However, her face was filled with innocence and curiosity, and it made people feel pity for her.
The little girl stood barefoot on the ground and looked at her surroundings curiously. It was as if this was the first time she had come to such a world.
When she saw the pieces on the ground, her face suddenly revealed a look of reminiscence.
“I am the artifact spirit of the Divination Chessboard, and my master is the Carefree Grand Sage... No, that’s not right...”
Halfway through her sentence, the little girl suddenly revealed a pained expression. She hugged her head with both hands as she spoke in pain.
“No, I am not the artifact spirit of the Divination Chessboard, and my master is not the Carefree Grand Sage... I, I...”
The little girl finally remembered, and the pain disappeared as well. She released her hands and stood up. She said word by word, “I am the artifact spirit of the Sun and Moon Chessboard, and my master is...”
When she spoke of her master, the little girl had a puzzled look on her face, as if she was a naughty child who had been called up by a teacher to ask questions in a private school and had forgotten the answer.
“My master... My master is...”
The little girl was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Suddenly, she saw the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, as if they had been prompted by someone, and her eyes immediately lit up.
She let out a sigh of relief as if she had been relieved of a heavy burden. A bright smile bloomed on her face as she shouted the second half of her sentence.
“My master is... Liu Changgong.”
...
At the intersection of the market, a carefree figure with a bamboo basket on his back gradually walked over.
It was a handsome young man with a furry little white fox beside him.
“Hello, Mr. Liu.”
“Mr. Liu, I went up the mountain to dig for bamboo shoots today...”
“Mr. Liu, I caught a few fish today, and they are still fresh. Please take them back and try them...”
Along the way, almost every neighbor who saw Liu Changgong greeted him warmly.
They were all mortals who lived at the foot of Mount Taiyin, and almost all of them had received Liu Changgong’s care.
Liu Changgong greeted everyone with a smile.
He liked this feeling very much. Although he could not cultivate and ask about the Dao, it was still an experience to enjoy the world.
When Liu Changgong returned home, the bamboo basket on his back was almost overflowing. It was filled with wild vegetables or cured meat that the neighbors had given him. He was even carrying two fish with a straw rope in his hand.
When she heard the sound of Liu Changgong’s return, the black cat quickly came out from her nest.
When he saw the black cat come out from inside, Liu Changgong was very happy. He raised the fish in his hand and said, “You’ve finally woken up. We can drink fish soup tonight... The rest will be made into small dried fish for you...”
“Meow meow meow–”
The black cat was also very happy when she saw the fish. Yes, how could a small cat reject small dried fish? Even a cat demon would not be able to do so...
The black cat was very happy. She wagged her tail and walked around Liu Changgong.
When Liu Changgong entered the door, he felt strange. ‘Wasn’t the door closed when I left?’
Although the door was not locked, it was still closed.
“Could it be that someone entered?”
When he pushed the door open and entered, he was almost shocked. He found a small figure squatting on the ground, looking up at his painting.
Her white hair fell to the ground. After taking a closer look, he realized that it was a pretty girl.
“Whose little girl is this? Why did she come here by herself?”
Liu Changgong wanted to ask directly. After all, the child was lost, so his family head should be quite anxious.
However, the girl suddenly turned her head and called out ‘Master’ with a pleasantly surprised look. Then, she suddenly jumped into his arms and hugged his legs.
When the black cat saw the girl, her expression changed and her hair stood on end.
When she came out of the house, she did not notice that there was a little girl standing there. When she looked again, she suddenly felt that this little girl had a terrifying aura!
