Chapter 458: Chapter 190: Mirror World, Ancestral Master’s Second Duel (Part 5)
But as time passed, the live broadcast turned into a recorded broadcast, and the teacher became Candle Kite, this artificial intelligence from Martial Abyss, who truly understood everything about Martial Abyss.
It seemed that, according to Qin Jin’s own cultivation progress, Martial Abyss also made some adjustments, providing him with ample cultivation time in addition to the necessary learning.
Days went by, day after day.
After countless attempts, the final manufacturing scheme for the new mecha was released, moving mecha production onto the schedule and officially starting.
Qin Jin joined the process, although his theoretical knowledge, practical operation, and experience still weren’t comparable to those excellent individuals from the Military Department, his progress was swift with the panel assistance.
It is foreseeable that in the future, he will eventually become the chief designer of his own mecha.
Lv Xuan, on that day, mentioned calling others, and actually took action; team members were still continuously replenishing.
Today.
After completing the manufacturing of the new mecha’s energy engine, Qin Jin returned home.
Back home, after a brief rest, Qin Jin went to the Great Wilderness.
Outside the Sacrificial Spirit Hall, no new information was left.
After Qin Jin mentioned the word [breakthrough] to Qi Chuan, Qi Chuan didn’t come to disturb him anymore. Now the Sacrificial Fire Tribe was gradually gaining the ability to operate independently, which was the scene Qin Jin wanted to see. When the Sacrificial Fire Tribe was weak, he actively showed up to make directional choices. As the tribe continuously grew, he was intentionally lowering his presence.
After all, he was [Sacrificial Spirit] and not the tribal leader.
According to the progress of the Great Wilderness, a tribe may continuously develop, even potentially rising from a tribe to a nation. At that time, [Royal Authority] and [Divine Authority] would be difficult to coexist, and Qin Jin wasn’t prepared to waste his energy on such matters.
Upon arriving in the Great Wilderness, he sensed something and grasped into the void.
The token inscribed with the word [Cyan] fell into his hand, now glowing faintly.
Ancestor Yi’s second round was beginning.
As the first sight of [Ancient People] on Ancient Land, Qin Jin was deeply impressed, gaining quite a bit from it. Now seeing it open again, Qin Jin hesitated not a single moment, immediately concealing his presence, leaving the tribe to rush to the border.
A journey of haste.
The Extreme Heaven remained the same, with the token in hand, Qin Jin entered the Divine Light.
This time, perhaps influenced by the token in his hand, Qin Jin appeared directly at the peak in an instant upon entering the Divine Light. The ground marble tiles and the nineteen-path chess board were still there, at either end of the chess board, the statuesque figures of those two [Ancestral Masters] had already sat cross-legged, prepared to play the game.
The moment Qin Jin appeared, a voice arrived from the front.
"Benefactor Qin, you have finally come."
As he looked ahead.
It was Su Changqing, who received him last time.
This young little Daoist was full of smiles, he approached Qin Jin and rubbed his hands together: "I wonder if this time, we could still be on the same side. If not, when we meet, Benefactor Qin, please remember to show mercy."
"Hmm?"
Qin Jin sharply caught the key point in his words: "This time, we don’t choose our own camp?"
Last time, upon first arriving at this Cyan Wood Temple, he and this little Daoist directly entered together and were seated on the same side.
"Yes."
Su Changqing nodded: "This time, the Ancestral Master himself will choose the players."
"Benefactor Qin, take a look around."
"Besides our brothers and sisters from the Cyan Wood Temple, this time there are quite a few Celestial Prides who passed the first round, coming to participate in the second round."
Qin Jin’s gaze swept around.
At first glance, just as Su Changqing said, besides those dressed in Daoist robes, there were also young individuals in different attire, visibly from different places, now standing quietly on the peak waiting.
"Inside the Ancient Land, truly mystical."
Thinking of the two seniors he met within the Ancient Scenery: "This Cyan Wood Temple, as well as its inhabitants and those Celestial Prides, are they truly individuals from ancient times?"
A thought flashed across his mind.
The Great Wilderness was under the night sky, yet atop the Cyan Wood Temple, without the sun, it looked like broad daylight. As time passed, the Axe-Carrying Ancestral Master, sitting cross-legged, relaxed in expression and spoke: "Senior Brother, you are older, so you choose the players first in this round."
"Alright."
The elderly voice replied, Ancestor White Eyebrow’s gaze swept across before flipping his palm, with gentle force rising around Qin Jin, enveloping him in the power, directly dropping onto the chess board.
"This is the first piece I’ve placed."
Ancestor White Eyebrow said with a smile.
On the other end of the chess board.
Axe-Carrying Ancestral Master’s brows furrowed, pointing at Qin Jin in the chess board: "Isn’t this my brilliant move from the first round."
"Senior Brother, stealing a move is unacceptable!"
Seemingly devoid of any Ancestral Master temperament, he reprimanded aloud.
"You let me play first."
Ancestor White Eyebrow stroked his white beard: "A placed piece cannot be changed; Junior Brother, let’s play."
"Alright."
"You old shameless, playing tricks with me, aren’t you."
Axe-Carrying Ancestral Master cursed angrily, his gaze swept over and selected a piece, dropping it onto the chess board.
It was a woman, dressed in skirts, with delicate features, an icy demeanor.
Considering the background of the Ancient Land, she might have been a Celestial Pride disciple born many ages ago, hailing from some Secret Sect Great Teachings.
Now...
The ancient and the present meet, ancient and present stand opposed on both ends.
The chess pieces fall on the board.
Both stand at the intersection of the vertical and horizontal paths, seemingly truly engaging in a chess match. After the woman entered the board, she looked towards Qin Jin, performed an ancient salute, and spoke: "Fangcun Academy’s Qiu Xiyu greets this Senior Brother."
Observing her superb demeanor, Qin Jin pondered briefly and spoke: "Celestial Cyan, Qin Jin."
Qin Jin noticed.
Upon uttering the term Celestial Cyan, there was a change in expression from across.
In the next instant.
Starting from the intersection of the path both stood upon, the surrounding chess board was shielded, and the ground rose rapidly, forming an antique platform that appeared quite remarkable.
If we say.
The first round by the Ancestral Master was using young disciples to debate Dao.
Then this second round seems to have turned into a martial debate.
Celestial Pride dueling in martial arts.
