Chapter 136: The Legacy of the Innate Chess Heart
Su Yu looked at the glowing jade talisman before him; if he remembered correctly, this was the one he had previously given to the old man he played chess with.
Qi Yu Xiu was likely looking for him to play chess now.
Generally, if Su Yu received this message and had nothing else to do, he wouldn't refuse, as playing chess was a small hobby of his.
Looking at the jade talisman in his hand, Su Yu soon appeared in that bamboo forest from before.
And Qi Yu Xiu had already arrived to wait for Su Yu.
Seeing Su Yu arrive, Qi Yu Xiu said, "Fellow Daoist, you've finally come. It has been a long time since I last played chess with you."
"Come quickly, sit down and let's play."
Su Yu did not stand on ceremony and immediately sat down, preparing to play chess with the old man.
Su Yu looked at the old man and discovered that he had come alone this time; his Disciple with the Innate Chess Heart was not with him.
"Fellow Daoist, where is your Disciple with the Innate Chess Heart? Why didn't he come this time? Whenever you came to find me to play chess before, he was never absent. Why is he not here today?"
The old man suddenly looked sorrowful. "It is this old man's incompetence that has led to my Disciple's current disappearance; his life and death are unknown, and I can no longer find him."
"The probability of my Disciple surviving now is basically negligible."
Hearing this, Su Yu was somewhat moved. "Fellow Daoist, did something happen?"
"It is because I did not keep a close eye on him at the time, and he ran into the Mysterious Yin Forest. You should know about this Mysterious Yin Forest; it is one of the Forbidden Lands of our Southern Region, and it is extremely dangerous inside."
"After I learned of the situation, I went in and searched for him for a long time, but I could not find any trace of him."
"Some time has passed since then. I came to find Brother Su to play chess this time to adjust my mood, and I also wanted to ask if Fellow Daoist Su has any clues regarding the Mysterious Yin Forest."
After hearing this, Su Yu thought about how that young man would always watch and learn attentively by the side whenever they played chess. He hadn't expected him to suddenly go missing now.
He felt that since something had attracted him to enter, the matter shouldn't be that simple; it was unlikely he would lose his life in the Mysterious Yin Forest.
Su Yu looked at the old man and offered some words of comfort.
"Fellow Daoist, I am not clear on the matters of the Mysterious Yin Forest either, as it is one of the Forbidden Lands of our Southern Region, and not many people would go inside."
"But good people have their own heavenly protection. There is nothing we can do by worrying now; perhaps he will return at some point."
He certainly knew information about the Mysterious Yin Forest; after all, he had stayed in there for a long time before, in order to find the Innate Spirit.
But it would be useless for him to tell the old man this information. With his Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, going deep into this Mysterious Yin Forest was just seeking death.
The old man nodded. "That is all that can be done."
Su Yu looked at the old man. "Alright, let's play chess. Don't think too much."
In the subsequent game between Su Yu and the old man, he could clearly feel that Qi Yu Xiu's chess skill was not as good as before. It seemed this matter had a significant impact on him.
After the game, "Fellow Daoist Su, after playing chess with you, my mood has improved slightly. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Su, for coming to accompany me in a game of chess."
Su Yu watched the old man leave, though he had said he felt more relaxed.
But in his heart, he was still brooding over the matter.
Su Yu was also a bit curious about what this Qin An with the Innate Chess Heart was doing now. Was he really dead?
He felt that shouldn't be the case; the matter shouldn't be that simple.
Rather than guessing here, it would be better for him to see for himself. In any case, this wouldn't be difficult for him; he had the Illusory World Eye, so he might as well use it.
Strange light radiated from Su Yu's eyes, and he looked in the direction of the Mysterious Yin Forest.
Soon, he locked onto Qin An.
He just knew it couldn't be that simple. He hadn't expected this young man to have encountered an Opportunity.
This Opportunity had also been left behind by a chess cultivator with an Innate Chess Heart. No wonder it could attract him there; it seemed that everything was destined in the dark.
Su Yu also saw the Legacy of this chess cultivator. This Legacy was indeed excellent; the owner of this Legacy had already reached the Realm of the Chess Domain.
This Legacy was very suitable for him. In the Southern Region, Su Yu couldn't think of a Legacy more suitable for him than this.
Both of them had an Innate Chess Heart.
It looked like this Legacy was about to end soon; after it ended, he would be automatically teleported out.
He was perfectly fine and had even obtained a great Opportunity. One had to know that in the current Southern Region, apart from him, there was no one who could step into this Realm of the Chess Domain.
Before long, this young man would also be able to reach this Realm.
After understanding everything, Su Yu withdrew his gaze. Indeed, geniuses could attract people's attention wherever they went; even the Legacy could guide them forward.
While searching in the Mysterious Yin Forest, Su Yu also saw another person, and that was Leng Jiahang. This young man was killing monsters to level up again.
That was the function of that pot. Looking at his aura, it seemed he would be able to reach the Soul Transformation Stage before long.
By then, the Demon Race would have a hard time.
Su Yu withdrew his gaze. Since he had seen everything, he should return; there was no point in staying here any longer.
In the Mysterious Yin Forest, Leng Jiahang looked at the mountain of Yao Beast corpses before him; these would be enough for him to absorb for a while.
The War between Immortals and Demons was about to break out again, and there was no time left for him.
If he remembered correctly, the Demon Race members had already started acting at this time, and the calm before the storm had ended.
He remembered the Demon Race members heading into a Secret Realm, where all the humans were killed.
And the two Elders of the Celestial Maiden Sect and several female cultivators of the Golden Core Stage were also missing; this matter also completely kicked off the prelude.
Subsequently, the figures of the Demon Clan members appeared everywhere, and various Sects also began to send large numbers of people to respond.
But the true War between Immortals and Demons had not yet arrived; it would take some time. He had to reach the Soul Transformation Stage in the limited time remaining.
Only in this way could he truly gain a foothold in this War between Immortals and Demons.
Otherwise, there would be no chance, as the Demon Race had existences at the Void Refinement Stage.
He was not sure if their side had any; he only knew that the highest combat power on the Human Race side at that time was Ye Lin, a person at the Peak Transformation Stage. With his Peak Soul Transformation Stage cultivation, he could go head-to-head with a great expert of the Void Refinement Stage and not fall behind.
He only hated that he hadn't lasted until the end of this War between Immortals and Demons; he had died in battle not long after the war began.
He hadn't seen how the War between Immortals and Demons turned out; what other methods the Demon Race had, and what hidden reserves the Human Race had, he did not know any of this.
What happened to the Demon Race later, whether they conquered the Southern Region, whether the Human Race later protected the Southern Region, or what happened afterward, he did not know.
In this life, he would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen. He must hold on until the end and contribute to the Human Race. He would also make the name Leng Jiahang resound throughout the Southern Region.
