A fierce battle erupts outside Qi Tian City's Inner City as cultivators from various factions clash with waves of Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses, drawn by the allure of treasures within, leading to mounting casualties and bloodshed. Amid the chaos, a black-robed figure with a twisted face siphons death energy from the fallen, murmuring fragmented thoughts of teachers and junior sisters. Inside, Li Che enters the vast, palace-like Inner City, a segment of the Strange Que, and discovers the Hun Yuan Ruyi Golden Cudgel positioned deeper within at a golden palace; using his Heaven and Earth chessboard and Star Plucking Pupil, he uncovers illusions revealing truths, only to hear the ominous clatter of struggling chains.

Li Che pinpointed the location of the Mysterious Temple, situated at the edge of the Inner City, that magnificent palace perched on a small hill.

The Primordial Chaos Ruyi Golden Cudgel jutted out from within that palace.

Thus, that marked the spot of the Mysterious Temple!

Yet, via the Heaven and Earth chessboard, Li Che could not detect what lay inside the Mysterious Temple.

Thick mysterious fog, blended with intense Dao Yun, divinity, Death Qi, and Corpse Qi, swirled in utter disarray.

For Li Che’s [Chess Saint] Dao Fruit, now evolved to level 6, this marked the initial occurrence of such an obstacle...

"The Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit still falls short in rank; reaching level 7 might allow it to pierce through this veil!"

Li Che lightly creased his forehead.

The Heaven and Earth chessboard thundered; strands, twisting like intersecting routes, extended and positioned themselves over the Inner City.

Li Che abruptly halted, taken aback.

For he discovered that within the city, silhouettes materialized in various zones and spots across the Qi Tian Inner City.

Amid Heaven and Earth, the mysterious fog swirled, faintly layering divinity into divine motifs, generating a teleportation force.

This force transported every powerhouse passing through the city entrance and portal into distinct areas inside the Qi Tian Inner City.

Through the Heaven and Earth chessboard, Li Che observed the Black Bull Demon God Venerable carrying the Sea-crossing Purple Gold Beam.

He spotted the monk from the Western Regions Buddha Land adorned with cicada motifs.

He also noticed Lv Taibai, Lv Qiankun, Fang Hanshu, and other familiar faces scattered apart.

All of them were dispersed like decorations across different sections of the Qi Tian Inner City.

Li Che, traveling solo, had felt no such effect.

Right now, he had lingered at the city gate for quite some time, and from the shadowy portal behind him, no one else appeared, evidently...

Li Che looked back and peered, his Star Plucking Pupil gleaming, immediately revealing that the dim entrance was formed by divine patterns of divinity entwined in the mysterious fog.

Anchored firmly in place.

Creating an ingress and egress, connecting the mortal realm’s Qi Tian City to the Qi Tian Inner City within this Strange Que!

A metropolis bridging dual realms!

Akin to a conduit, linking the mortal world and the Strange Que realms!

And it evaded the scrutiny and vigilance of the Heaven and Earth Will in the mortal realm!

Truly remarkable!

Li Che felt deep admiration.

Thud thud thud thud—

In that instant, over the Qi Tian Inner City, the echoes of war drums seemed to resound, booming and making the heart pulse in rhythm without choice.

With the drumbeats resounding.

Li Che’s heart trembled faintly, his consciousness linked to the Heaven and Earth chessboard, abruptly surging toward the far end of the Qi Tian Inner City, covering a vast stretch, almost hitting the utmost limit of the Heaven and Earth chessboard’s detection range.

At that spot...

The mysterious fog, divinity, Dao Yun, Death Qi, and Corpse Qi enveloping the palace were all swept aside.

Slowly...

The Mysterious Temple came into view for Li Che.

And via the dispersed energies of the mysterious fog and the rest.

Li Che beheld that in the lavish, gleaming palace, a stone coffin rested at the center, surrounded by intricate black lotus engravings.

From within that stone coffin, potent Death Qi and Corpse Qi poured forth.

Yet inside, a cadaver reposed.

Li Che employed the extremes of the Heaven and Earth chessboard, combined with his Star Plucking Pupil, to catch a glimpse.

His eyes narrowed sharply.

Within the coffin, a body rested.

As though a swift light streaked across his thoughts, the visage akin to Equal to Heaven’s Face unconsciously displayed grief.

That was...

The corpse of the Qi Tian Temple God!

Indeed...

The remains of a Great Saint!
