Chapter 187: Heavenly Yuan Realm Ghost Creatures! Red Intelligence Fragments
Subsequently, he carefully examined the plans of other Alien Races. The Sea Monster Clan’s plan indeed involved a major operation during the Ghost Festival.
The content of this grand plan was extremely detailed, approximately over two thousand characters.
“Good heavens!”
“The target is to control a large section of the Qingyun River! Their ambition is quite significant.”
“Fortunately, in the handling of the situation, the Official did indeed detonate a large number of pre-buried explosives.”
“It’s a pity that the Official’s preparations were not sufficient, and I estimate they only started acting after I provided the map of the Underground River.”
“In the emergency situation, they could only detonate a large number of explosives, causing some key areas of the Underground River to collapse.”
After Bai Yu’s previous reminder, the Official must have been better prepared.
So, judging from the report, the outcome wasn’t too bad.
Among the information from other Alien Races, what attracted Bai Yu’s attention the most was naturally the Savage Tribe!
“In the initial Fate Line, the Savage Tribe and the Vampire Clan, with an army of over five thousand, went to seize the Dragon Pearl when the Black Lotus Flower descended.”
“From this report, the Savage Tribe still cooperated with the Vampire Clan, but they didn’t gain any advantage.”
“However…”
Bai Yu narrowed his eyes.
Although the record didn’t specifically mention the Official’s situation, judging by the intensity of the battle, the Official likely didn’t have an easy time either!
“Fortunately… this intelligence recorded the Fissure through which the Savage Tribe descended into the Northern Mountain Range.”
“Early September? Then I’ll have some fun then!”
Since so much intelligence was obtained, and it was so useful for the future, with much of the information pertaining to today’s Ghost Festival.
Bai Yu naturally couldn’t keep it to himself.
Without hesitation, he decided to go out and find Li Yunbin.
Stepping outside, he glanced at the moonlight.
Speaking of which, the night view here is quite nice.
“Right, where is the Group Leader?”
He picked up his phone, scrolled through it, and then made a call.
“Ring~ Ring~ Ring~”
After a while, no one answered.
Bai Yu frowned. Why did he feel like something was a bit strange?
Turning around again, he suddenly noticed that the surrounding scene was somewhat off.
Looking up at the staircase to the side, the scene above seemed to have changed as well.
There was a Chessboard!
Sitting on one side of the Chessboard was an old man in a white robe.
“…”
Bai Yu finally understood.
So it was the work of a Big Boss!
It felt like stepping into a ghost realm, it was too terrifying.
Thinking carefully, if this place was in trouble, then an enemy with more time nodes could crush him!
Thinking this way, Bai Yu had nothing to fear and boldly walked forward.
As he slowly walked up the stairs, Bai Yu noticed something amiss.
The old man in the white robe was playing chess with someone!
However, Bai Yu couldn’t see the other person at all.
Only when the other person made a move could Bai Yu see a pale hand!
He was no longer the half-baked cultivator he was when he first started cultivating, but possessed his own abilities.
In fact, he had even opened his third eye today!
A ghost lifeform!
And definitely not an ordinary Spirit Sea Realm, possibly a Heaven Yuan Realm!
What… what is going on?
Could it be that the old man in the white robe raised it?
But it didn’t seem like it.
Bai Yu looked at the old man in the white robe with confusion, his eyes filled with inquiry.
But the old man in the white robe was completely focused at the moment, not paying attention to anything external.
Bai Yu even understood that if he made a sound, it might break the situation and cause extremely dire consequences.
The old man in the white robe was fighting this ghost creature!
Understanding the situation, cold sweat broke out on Bai Yu’s forehead.
He looked around again, and at the serene environment.
He was in another space!
In fact, the current situation might be very critical.
That’s not right!
Grandmaster Wang Zhong brought me back yesterday, could he have left?
Or perhaps he’s fighting other enemies?
Since he had no understanding of the situation, Bai Yu didn’t dare to act rashly and could only silently watch the Big Boss operate.
In his Previous Life, he had played some Go, but he was purely amateur, not even reaching a dan rank.
Naturally, he couldn’t understand the moves of a Go master.
However, looking at the pieces on the Chessboard, he seemed to see the collision of two forces!
It seemed to be evenly matched.
In his current understanding, this old man in the white robe was already a top-tier existence, yet someone was still his match.
If the Big Boss couldn’t hold on, he wouldn’t survive either.
Time ticked by, and due to the tense situation, Bai Yu even forgot about the existence of time.
After an unknown amount of time, out of the 361 possible moves, less than forty remained.
He could still count the score clearly; the old man in the white robe had gained the upper hand in the latter half.
He was currently leading by five points.
Even if he didn’t understand it completely, among experts, this was already an insurmountable situation, right?
At this moment, the powerful being whose hand was only visible suddenly spoke, “You win.”
As the words fell, an extremely violent gust of yin wind suddenly swept through the area.
The surrounding space seemed to tear apart.
Bai Yu felt the force and felt like his body was about to be torn apart.
However, the white-robed expert waved his hand, and a force protected him.
After about half a minute, the powerful being seemed to have departed.
Before Bai Yu could speak, the old man in the white robe said, “This person is a Chess Saint from the Tang Dynasty. He is one of the ten Incarnations of Wang Jixin, a historical figure from the Tang Dynasty.”
Bai Yu didn’t understand the meaning and asked doubtfully, “That, was it a normal game of chess, or…”
“Today is the Ghost Festival. According to our original concept, the Ghost Gate opens on the seventh month of the lunar calendar. The fifteenth of the seventh month is when the Ghost Gate is fully open.”
“He was deliberately lured here by the Alien Races, and then he made a bet with me.”
“If I lost, then there would inevitably be a battle.”
Normally, a Big Boss would not reveal such secrets casually.
The point was, Bai Yu could only listen to it as a story, and it was of no other use.
This made Bai Yu realize a rather cruel point.
He was invincible among his peers.
But he was still an ant!
The old man in the white robe looked at Bai Yu, smiled, and said, “Your contributions have already surpassed most people. Just keep improving yourself, and we will do our best to buy you more time.”
Bai Yu immediately refocused and said seriously, “Understood!”
He then intended to state his purpose for coming, but before he could speak, the old man in the white robe said, “This is still a ghost realm. Let’s talk somewhere else.”
“Okay!”
The real world.
A pavilion on the mountaintop.
It was very spacious, and one could look up at the moon.
Upon entering, one felt an extremely peaceful and serene sensation.
On the way here, Bai Yu had carefully considered.
He had already displayed many abilities that were inconsistent with Divination.
Currently, he had obtained a large amount of intelligence on the Alien Races, which was difficult to explain through Divination.
Therefore, it was best to reveal it honestly.
Seeing this, after a psychological struggle, Bai Yu said, “Um, are you the Big Boss who’s been watching me from behind?”
The reason he asked this was because he now had a vague sense of Fate.
He felt a sense of familiarity with the Big Boss in front of him.
The old man in the white robe quietly brewed some tea and said, “Yes and no. It was Mr. Kong Shen who brought me to notice you.”
“Old Kong!?”
“Yes, but it’s not convenient to talk about it further. When you reach a certain height in the future, you will understand.”
Bai Yu really wanted to ask clearly what Old Kong had done.
What connection did a person he met briefly and then was separated by life and death have with him?
Seeing this, he didn’t dare to ask more.
However, he thought of the Fate Crystal on his neck.
After confirming, Bai Yu no longer hesitated and directly revealed the recent plans of the Alien Races.
He focused on the key points, such as the Sea Monster Clan’s attack points tonight.
The Demon Race’s plan to revive the Death God, specifically Ghost Gate Number Nine.
The Savage Tribe’s descent location and time!
The white-robed expert just listened quietly. For a Big Boss, he might already be aware of the enemy’s plans.
But judging from the results, the key information about Ghost Gate Number Nine and the Savage Tribe’s descent location were definitely not predicted by those above.
Their Divination was truly about grasping information from the ethereal.
Bai Yu, on the other hand, was exploring future event reports!
The nature was completely different.
The white-robed expert nodded after listening and said, “This intelligence can indeed, to a large extent, change our Luck.”
“Speak, what do you want?”
Hearing this, Bai Yu was stunned, then blushed, feeling a bit embarrassed.
In the face of such major issues, talking about money was too vulgar!
“Tianhai City being safer is also a good thing for me.”
“Yes, since we’ve finished talking, I’ll go and make preparations now.”
The next moment, the white-robed Big Boss transformed into black and white light and vanished from the spot.
Bai Yu was stunned.
Huh?
No reward at all?
Fortunately, a message was left in the air: “I will prepare it for you. That Elf Secret Realm would be good.”
Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but upon hearing Elf Secret Realm, he felt curious again.
“Could it be about the Thunder Magic Staff?”
“Meow meow meow, I should have just asked for it directly! I’m not someone who doesn’t want benefits…”
“Damn it! I must learn from this experience next time.”
Back in the Cultivation Room.
He glanced at the time; it was three in the morning.
“Speaking of which, after improving my strength today, my Nine Heavens Thunder Movement True Technique only takes four minutes for a Minor Heavenly Cycle and fifty minutes for a Great Heavenly Cycle!”
“Now I can try to circulate ten Great Heavenly Cycles using the Nine Heavens Thunder Movement True Technique. I wonder if there will be any good effects.”
Without further ado, he went for it!
In the blink of an eye, it was almost twelve o’clock.
【 Successfully circulated ten Great Heavenly Cycles, obtained Red Fragment *1】
“Huh!? Red Fragment!”
“It’s just… has the Golden Finger not changed?”
However, when he looked at the task, Bai Yu noticed a slight change.
【 Task Five: Circulate Great Heavenly Cycle 10/10
Reward: 1 Random Intelligence Fragment Blue: 83%, Gold: 15%, Red: 2%）
Ten fragments can be combined into an Intelligence Scroll.
After using an Intelligence Scroll, intelligence of the corresponding quality will appear, but it still needs to be purchased with Intelligence Value.
Blue: 200, Gold: 500, Red: 1000】
“The probability of Gold has increased from 9% to 15%.”
“The probability of Red has increased from 1% to 2%.”
“It doesn’t feel like a big improvement~”
“However, if they directly give me a Red intelligence, then I take it back. Gold would be fine too!”
After the fragment probability increased, Bai Yu felt that Intelligence Value was even more scarce.
“I wonder if promoting to Spiritual Essence will increase the ways to obtain Intelligence Value.”
“Specifics will only be known when the time comes.”
“What I feel most deeply right now is that after improving my strength, the intelligence purchased with the same Intelligence Value is worth much more!”
