Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 549: The original scene

"Want to visit the place where the Founder attained enlightenment?" Qiu Jin'an was momentarily stunned after hearing the Transmission Elder's words.

A hundred thousand years ago, when the Founder first achieved enlightenment, the Immortal Realm was a forbidden area, accessible only to those at the Tribulation Crossing stage. As time passed, countless young prodigies and peerless experts from the Five Elements Sect entered the Immortal Realm seeking opportunities and insights, hoping to replicate the Founder's feat. None succeeded.

As for the scene of immortals playing chess, it never reappeared. The identities of the three ancient immortals remain a mystery to this day.

Qiu Jin'an looked up and saw an ancient painting hanging on the wall. The painting exuded an immortal aura, containing infinite mysteries that were beyond comprehension.

Although it was an ancient painting, it was protected by an inexplicable force, making it impossible to tell that it was from a hundred thousand years ago.

In the painting, two immortals sat on stone chairs, deep in thought. Though their faces were unclear, one could imagine them with furrowed brows, lost in contemplation. The third immortal carried firewood on his back, staring intently at the chessboard, his appearance equally indistinct.

On the chessboard, black and white pieces were locked in a fierce battle, unable to form a complete line, the struggle intense and unresolved.

Master Tian Kui was a Confucian cultivator with extraordinary painting skills. This was a scene he painted after emerging from the Immortal Realm, depicting what he had witnessed.

Beside it was another ancient painting, also by Master Tian Kui.

In this painting, Master Tian Kui, dressed in a white Confucian robe, exuded confidence and power, standing triumphantly over two renowned peerless experts, the ancestors of the Meng and Jiang families.

These two peerless experts were covered in wounds, clearly having undergone a life-and-death struggle, yet they still could not defeat Master Tian Kui.

Master Tian Kui, a Confucian cultivator with extraordinary painting skills, had imagined this scene.

Qiu Jin'an withdrew his gaze from the two paintings and, after a moment of thought, agreed.

"Perhaps the kids have never encountered the relics of immortals and want to broaden their horizons. It's understandable."

"Very well, I'll take them to see it."

After all, it was the place where the Founder attained enlightenment. Though it now held only commemorative significance, it still deserved respect.

...

Lu Yang and the others were overjoyed to learn they were allowed to enter the Immortal Realm, especially with Qiu Jin'an personally leading them.

This was the legendary Immortal Realm.

Among all the known secret realms, none had been confirmed as an Immortal Realm, highlighting its rarity.

Of course, for Lu Yang, who had an Immortal Realm within him, it wasn't a big deal.

Under Qiu Jin'an's guidance, the five quickly reached their destination.

The Immortal Realm was located at the junction of the Fire Vein and Water Vein.

"What a tall mountain," Man Gu exclaimed. The mountain soared into the clouds, its midsection shrouded in white clouds, making it impossible to see its full height.

It was certain that this mountain was at least as tall as Tianmen Peak.

Qiu Jin'an casually explained, "The Immortal Realm is in a cave within the mountain. The Founder worried that moving just the cave would disrupt the immortal's layout and the integrity of the Immortal Realm, so he moved the entire mountain."

For a cultivator like Master Tian Kui, moving mountains and filling lakes was a trivial matter.

Lu Yang noticed a fence around the mountain, forming a faint barrier, likely to protect the Immortal Realm from disciples sneaking in and disrupting the immortal's chess game.

He also saw a half-torn yellow talisman near the fence entrance, fluttering in the wind.

"This talisman has a high-level seal," the Immortal Fairy remarked after a glance, deducing the complete talisman and its contents from the half she saw.

Lu Yang was startled. Could it be that the Immortal Realm not only had the immortal's chess game but also a peerless demon?

He imagined a scene: Master Tian Kui encountering a peerless demon, fighting fiercely, ultimately losing by a single move, and sealing the demon in the Immortal Realm, using the immortal's chess game to suppress it.

Over time, the Five Elements Sect forgot this history, and the demon broke the seal, escaping from the Immortal Realm!

Or perhaps the demon had a Dao fruit of causality, causing people to forget his existence?

Observing Sect Master Qiu's reaction, it seemed he hadn't noticed the half-torn talisman.

Lu Yang raised his hand and pointed to the inconspicuous half-torn talisman. "Sect Master Qiu, what is that?"

"A seal?"

"It's a seal."

Lu Yang: "..."

"The Founder moved the mountain in a hurry without imperial permission, so the court sealed the Immortal Realm with this talisman."

"After paying a fine and bailing out the Founder, the court agreed to allocate the mountain and Immortal Realm to our Five Elements Sect, making the seal unnecessary."

"The seal wasn't completely removed at the time, and later generations considered it a relic, so it was preserved."

A seal capable of sealing an Immortal Realm was naturally no ordinary item.

Seeing no further questions, Qiu Jin'an led them over the fence to the mountain's base.

The closer they got to the mountain, the more they felt its oppressive presence. Without stopping, they entered a damp cave.

As soon as they entered, their restless hearts calmed, as if influenced by the mindset of the immortals playing chess thirty thousand years ago.

The cave was silent and deep, with only their footsteps echoing.

The deeper they went, the drier it became, as if the cave and the outside were two different worlds.

"This is it," Qiu Jin'an said.

Before them was a stone table, the chessboard filled with black and white pieces, no more space left. Neither side had formed a complete line.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

The result of the immortal's chess game was a draw.

The stone table, stone chairs, and chess pieces were ordinary items, only imbued with a trace of immortal aura from centuries of use by the immortals, allowing them to withstand the passage of time.

Qiu Jin'an shook his head regretfully. As expected, no matter how many times he entered, he could never recreate the original scene.

The Founder's opportunity was a rare immortal fate, impossible to replicate.

Qiu Jin'an didn't notice Lu Yang's vacant stare, as if he had lost his will.

Lu Yang's head drooped as if dozing off, then suddenly snapped up. Before him was the empty chessboard and two strangers reaching into the chess box, ready to play.

Meng Jingzhou, Tao Yaoye, and the others were gone, leaving only Lu Yang as the observer.

Lu Yang's heart raced. This scene resembled Master Tian Kui's story.

Before he could react, he heard the two players conversing.

Their voices carried a special power, calming the mind and focusing the spirit.

"Heavenly Immortal Ying, your move?"

"Alright."

With a snap, a white piece landed in the center of the board.

Heavenly Immortal Ying made the first move.

The second update will be at eleven.
