I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

The person who spoke was an old man in black robes. What caught everyone's attention the most were his eyes. One of them was black, while the other was white. It looked incredibly strange.

Everyone who was looked at by him suddenly felt a sense of panic as if they just fell into a formation.

At that moment, he was crouched in front of a chess board. His opponent was Bai Piao, the sect leader of the Xuanyuan Sect, the Celestial Demon King, and various other incredibly strong characters.

With that chess board as a foundation, he fought against everyone there alone. He wanted to simulate every single possibility to solve the chess match.

Little Fox stopped, and the old man spoke as he placed his next piece, "Anyone who moves closer to the board will be sucked into the match. Their Dao hearts will be damaged. Don't go forward if you don't want to die."

His tone might have been rude, but it was still a kind reminder.

None of the cultivators there would care about Little Fox's life. If she continued moving forward, she would be sucked into the chess board, but it would have nothing to do with them.

Only Black-White extended a helping hand at the right time, stopping here.

Little Fox curiously walked next to Black-White. She looked at the chess board, "Old man, you won't be able to solve the match like this. Even though you're using the chessboard as the foundation, none of your opponents can compare to the person who set up the match. It's hard to simulate any true results. Even if you end up simulating the solution, it's just an illusion."

Those words offended a lot of people. All of the cultivators there had a sour look on their faces, but they had no way to retort. That was because Little Fox was right. Just earlier, Cultivator Tian Yuan and Da Tong were sent away because of that.

Black-White looked at Little Fox curiously before he said with a smile, "I misjudged you. So you're quite versed in chess as well.

"You're right, but two other chess players already tried out the solution with their bodies earlier. It gave us a lot of valuable experience. I'm already eighty percent certain I'll be able to solve it."

The Celestial Demon King said coldly, "Little girl, if you want to try solving it, then go ahead. If you don't dare to go, then go to the side. Don't interfere with us looking for the solution."

"That's right. Cultivator Black-White is kind and doesn't want to see you entering. Stop interfering with him."

"Little girl, don't disturb Black-White's work."

"Black-White, let's continue. Let's not bother with things that don't concern us. Being distracted while playing chess is taboo."

…

The rest started to speak. The only thing on their mind was to solve the match and enter the cave. All their hopes were pinned on Black-White.

Xiao Chengfeng immediately walked forward. He would not give in to that group as he shouted, "You bunch of useless lowlives. The only person who'll be able to solve the match is this fairy right here. Who do you think you are? If you bark anymore, we won't help you solve the match."

"Hahaha, where did you come from? Do you think we need you to help us? Do you think chess is a game that can be solved by a little girl?"

"You won't help us solve it? That's a joke."

"Black-White is gifted by the heavens in terms of chess. He's able to see through every change in a chess board. He's been cultivating the Dao of chess for a hundred thousand years. How could a little girl compare to him? Other than being pretty, what can she do?"

"Preposterous. What do all of you know?! You're just a bunch of ignorant fools. If you dare utter another word, don't blame my sword for being merciless!"

Xiao Chengfeng's expression sank as he shouted. Sword aura soared into the air, causing the air around the whole area to turn incredibly sharp.

Yang Jian and the others' expressions sank as well. They unleashed their auras, not going to let Little Fox be wronged at all, even verbally.

At that moment, no one dared to speak.

Celestial Demon King's mouth twitched, but he swallowed his words in the end.

Yang Jian and the others were all Wisdom Dictators, and Xiao Chengfeng's aura was incredibly imperious. No one dared to ignore his warning, and all of them were forced to keep quiet.

Bai Piao had a fake smile on his face as he played mediator, "Everyone has the same goal. Let's not disturb the peace. Breaking through the formation should be our priority. Chess, let's all play chess."

No one else spoke again as they all put their full focus on the chessboards. The only sound that was heard was the sound of chess pieces moving.

Little Fox did not care about what happened. She merely stood by the side and quietly looked at everything.

"Brother Li said my considerations were not holistic. I should just observe for now, and expand my experiences. It'll make solving the match easier."

After four hours, as Black–White made move after move, Bai Piao and the others frowned, staring at the chessboard, unable to move a single piece.

Black-White toyed with his beard, laughing as he said, "Hahaha, I've set up the formation. I've solved this board."

"As expected of you. You're so versed in chess Dao. Even all of us added together can't compete with you."

"What a good strategy. I only managed to see through what you were doing at the very end, but I was already lost by then."

"Da Tong and Tian Yuan both lost to the hidden traps, but senior Black-White's wits were sharper. He perfectly avoided those traps. So this is how you solve it!"

"Thank you for taking part, Black-White. As long as you solve it, we'll uphold our end of the deal. No matter what, you'll get a portion of how to cleanse the gray mist.

…

Everyone might have lost, but they had smiles on their faces as they looked at the cave. Their expressions were incredibly passionate.

"Then take a good look, everyone. I'll solve the board!"

Black-White slowly stood up and walked toward the cave entrance. When he walked in front of the board, his expression hardened as he bowed respectfully, "I'm Black-White. I wish to learn from you, ancient senior!"

After saying that, a black and white aura started to exude from his body. Both his eyes glowed in an intense light as chess Dao started to circulate Black-White.

Everyone held their breaths as they stared at the chessboard carved into the wall, as well as Black-White's battle.

The chess board got more and more intense as wave after wave of incredibly strong chess Dao emerged. It exuded so much pressure that everyone struggled to breathe. They suddenly felt as if the ancient supreme being just opened his eyes to observe everything, causing them to be shocked.

Yet, at the next moment, Bai Piao and the others widened their eyes as their hearts dropped.

"Not good!"

"The board can actually change like that. I can't believe there's another trap!"

"None of us could have fathomed that there would be a trap here!"

"How terrifying! We have to hope that Black-White will be able to get through this."

They never expected that the board, which advanced like their simulations, would suddenly be met with another chance. Black-White was incredibly sharp, but the ancient chessboard pulled a dangerous move that was impossible to prepare for.

Only Little Fox maintained her calm. She looked at the board's changes in detail, and was not surprised at all.

There was even a fourth and a fifth trap, let alone a third. There were thousands of changes in the board. No one could guess all the possibilities. The only way to solve it was to face the hundreds of thousands of changes with one's chess Dao!
