Chapter 24 Strange Secret Realm
Veiled Spirit Peak, a valley filled with abundant spiritual energy.
Various spiritual beasts constantly appear here.
This place is the most abundant in spiritual energy on Veiled Spirit Peak, but few cultivators come here.
Because there is a mysterious presence here.
A secret realm.
Secret realms generally exist in places with abundant spiritual energy, and within these secret realms, various adventures await.
However, these adventures often come with dangers.
Moreover, the level of spiritual energy in secret realms is unknown, so even cultivators with profound strength would not easily come to a place with such abundant spiritual energy.
Once a powerful secret realm is triggered, the cultivator is likely to be trapped inside.
Unable to escape!
At the peak of this valley, a figure stands on top of the mountain.
Under the moonlight, her graceful figure looks exceptionally beautiful.
Chen Yuwei closes her eyes, nurturing her spirit, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.
This is the place she often comes to cultivate, a place that ordinary people dare not attempt. But Chen Yuwei doesn't mind.
The path of cultivation is not something ordinary people can attempt.
To achieve stronger cultivation, such risks are worth taking.
Moreover, since Chen Yuwei came here to cultivate, even if she enters a secret realm, she can easily resolve it.
Chen Yuwei opens her eyes and looks at the sky.
It is already the ugly hour, but Su Chen has not arrived yet.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuwei becomes somewhat angry.
It's only the first day, and Su Chen has already broken his promise.
This has left a terrible impression of Su Chen on Chen Yuwei.
However, her injuries do require the treatment of a cultivator like Su Chen.
Although Su Chen is a low-status cultivator, he is quite rare.
Ordinary sects would not have cultivators like Su Chen.
Being able to engage in dual cultivation with a cultivator like Su Chen is an excellent opportunity for the female cultivators of Veiled Spirit Sect to heal their injuries.
Chen Yuwei sighs.
If she hadn't experienced that battle with the demon race, she wouldn't have suffered such injuries.
She wouldn't have to resort to dual cultivation with someone like Su Chen to heal.
What Chen Yuwei doesn't know is that at this moment, Su Chen is playing chess with someone.
Su Chen looks at the old man in front of the chessboard and furrows his brow.
Two hours ago, Su Chen had already arrived in this valley.
Su Chen had never seen such abundant spiritual energy before. In the valley, there were constantly spiritual beasts appearing that he had never seen before.
Surprised, Su Chen headed towards the location Chen Yuwei had left.
However, not long after, in a clearing in the dense forest, Su Chen saw a chessboard.
Curious, Su Chen approached the chessboard to take a look.
Suddenly, a feeling of dizziness came over him.
When Su Chen woke up again, he found himself sitting on a chessboard.
This chessboard was completely suspended in mid-air.
Su Chen's body couldn't move at all, he could only be in the chess game.
And across the chessboard was an old man with white hair.
Su Chen tried to probe the old man's cultivation, but he found that the old man's cultivation seemed unfathomable, impossible to discern.
The old man smiled.
"Young man, focus on playing chess!"
"If you don't win against me, you won't be able to leave this chess game."
Su Chen had no idea what was happening.
But his body couldn't move, so he could only play chess with the old man.
However, after a few games, Su Chen became desperate.
The old man's chess skills were completely immeasurable.
He didn't rely on any rules to make his moves.
Moreover, Su Chen was completely ignorant of Go.
Su Chen spoke, "Old man, may I ask about your identity?"
"I am not from this world."
Su Chen was stunned.
He immediately spoke, "May I ask which world the old man comes from?"
The old man smiled.
"You don't need to know, just focus on playing chess!"
After that, the old man stopped talking.
Later on, Su Chen became more and more desperate.
He had no way of winning against the old man, even as the game progressed.
Su Chen couldn't even survive for ten rounds against the old man.
Su Chen felt a bit overwhelmed. In this situation, he had no way of making a move.
If things continued like this, he would never be able to escape.
At this moment, the old man suddenly spoke.
"Kid, what kind of chess strategy do you have?"
Su Chen was stunned.
"No strategy."
Su Chen answered truthfully.
The old man smiled, "You're quite honest."
Su Chen's face turned awkward. Although he couldn't sense any malice from the old man, he couldn't just play chess here every day!
"Do you have any way to let me leave this chessboard?"
The old man spoke, "Defeat me!"
Damn, this old man is playing with me!
Su Chen cursed inwardly.
His system was useless here.
What should he do?
The old man spoke softly, "You can try a different strategy. I think your character is more suited for something sharper."
Su Chen pondered for a moment, then made a move.
Now, there was no other way. He could only do this.
Meanwhile, outside, Chen Yuwei couldn't wait for Su Chen any longer and finally couldn't hold back.
She quickly got up and disappeared into the night.
Soon, she arrived at the small courtyard.
On the stone table, Little Su Yue was sleeping, with drool on her childish face, looking very cute.
Chen Yuwei woke Su Yue up.
"Su Yue, where's your father?"
Although Chen Yuwei had a bad impression of Su Chen, she still liked Su Yue.
After all, she was Li Shijie's child.
And Chen Yuwei herself liked children.
Su Yue rubbed her eyes and sleepily said, "Daddy went to find you!"
Chen Yuwei's expression changed instantly.
Has Su Chen already gone?
She suddenly remembered that, due to her long-term cultivation in the Veiled Spirit Peak Valley, nothing had happened.
Chen Yuwei had almost forgotten that there was an extremely mysterious secret realm in that place with abundant spiritual energy.
Could it be that Su Chen had fallen into that mysterious secret realm?
Chen Yuwei looked worried.
If he was trapped in the secret realm, no one else could help him.
Unless the Sect Master returned and took action.
Otherwise, Su Chen would either have to escape on his own or be trapped in the secret realm for the rest of his life.
All Chen Yuwei could do now was hope that the level of the mysterious secret realm Su Chen was trapped in wasn't too high.
Otherwise, Su Chen would likely spend his time in the secret realm until the Sect Master returned.
The average cultivator's body couldn't withstand being in the secret realm for that long.
And it was impossible for the Sect Master to come back.
At least not until a month later.
For Su Chen, this was almost a death sentence.
...
At this moment, Su Chen's face was calm as he made a move.
The old man's eyes were filled with surprise.
Su Chen's move was cleverly made, and although it seemed insignificant, it concealed a sharp edge!
