Intense battles erupted outside Qi Tian Inner City as cultivators from various factions, including Lv Taibai and the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, clashed fiercely with waves of Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses to breach the gates, drawn by the allure of hidden treasures. Amid the carnage, a black-robed figure with a twisted face absorbed death energy from the fallen, murmuring fragmented vows to a teacher and junior sister. Inside, Li Che traversed the archway into a vast imperial palace complex within the city, discovering the Hun Yuan Ruyi Golden Cudgel positioned deeper amid luxurious halls, and realized the area formed part of the Strange Que at the junction of Earth Deceit Que and Inner Mysterious Que, hearing distant chains straining in the process.

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

From that palace, the Primordial Chaos Ruyi Golden Cudgel jutted outward.

Thus, the Mysterious Temple resided there!

Yet, via the Heaven and Earth chessboard, Li Che could not discern the interior of the Mysterious Temple.

A thick veil of 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 rank remains insufficient; should it advance to level 7, it might pierce through this!"

Li Che lightly knitted his eyebrows.

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

Li Che abruptly halted in astonishment.

Since he noticed that within the city, various figures materialized in distinct zones and spots across the Qi Tian Inner City.

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

This force shuttled every powerful individual passing through the city gates and openings to isolated sectors inside the Qi Tian Inner City.

Via 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 as well.

He also glimpsed Lv Taibai, Lv Qiankun, Fang Hanshu, and fellow familiar faces scattered apart.

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

Li Che, traveling solo, detected no such effect.

Right now, he lingered by the city gate for quite some time, and from the shadowy gate opening behind him, no silhouette appeared, evidently...

Li Che wheeled around for a look, his Star Plucking Pupil gleaming, promptly revealing that the shadowy gate opening consisted of divine patterns of divinity interlaced within the mysterious fog.

Anchored in place.

Constructing an entry and exit point, bridging the human realm’s Qi Tian City to the Qi Tian Inner City within this Strange Que!

A metropolis spanning dual realms!

Resembling a span, linking the human world and the Strange Que realms!

And it evaded the scrutiny and notice of the Heaven and Earth Will in the human world!

Truly remarkable!

Li Che felt a surge of awe.

Thud thud thud thud—

Right then, over the Qi Tian Inner City, the resonant beat of war drums seemed to echo, booming and compelling the heart to pulse in rhythm.

As the drumbeats resounded.

Li Che’s heart jolted faintly, his consciousness linked to the Heaven and Earth chessboard, abruptly vaulting toward the Qi Tian Inner City’s extremity, covering a vast span, almost hitting the Heaven and Earth chessboard’s detection limit.

In that spot...

The mysterious fog, divinity, Dao Yun, Death Qi, and Corpse Qi enveloping the palace dispersed entirely.

Slowly...

The Mysterious Temple came into view for Li Che.

And with the fading influences of the mysterious fog and the rest.

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

From within that stone coffin, torrents of Death Qi and Corpse Qi emanated.

Yet contained inside was a corpse.

Li Che employed the utmost extent of the Heaven and Earth chessboard, coupled with his Star Plucking Pupil, for a peek.

His pupils shrank at once.

Reclining in the coffin was a corpse.

As though a flash of insight raced through his thoughts, the visage akin to Equal to Heaven’s Face reflexively displayed grief.

That was...

The remains of the Qi Tian Temple God!

Indeed...

The body of a Great Saint!
