‘Not only is it weak, but even newbies also would not dare to play chess like that. Your self-realization is not good enough!’

Of course, Li Nianfan only dared to roast him in his mind. Pei An was an Immortal, he had to help him save face.

He said, “You’re quite alright. As a beginner, you can take it slow.”

Pei An teared up. He used all his might to stop tearing up and replied, “Thanks, Mr. Li, for guiding me.”

‘The expert is so indescribably nice to me. The expert is willing to teach me, how lucky am I to be able to get an opportunity like this?’

Being in the chess game was like being in the Ultimate Spell Pattern. He could learn more about spell patterns with every move.

He had to say that the expert was truly an expert. He invented such an incredible game. It was unimaginable.

If the Thousand Spell Disk was used to create spell patterns and attack the enemies, then Xiangqi was used to learn about spell patterns.

In comparison, the Xiangqi was more valuable than the Thousand Spell Disk!

‘It seemed like the expert is very pleased with the Thousand Spell Disk, that’s why he is willing to teach me.’

 He was utterly impressed by the expert and his state of mind!

So, second round, third round…

Li Nianfan could not endure it anymore after the fifth round.

Newbie, he was too much of a newbie. It was unbearably tragic.

The last time he met a chess newbie like that was when he played with Luo Shiyu. Pei An was so lousy at chess that he was lousier than Luo Shiyu.

It was hard to imagine that someone could be so lousy at chess. It surprised Li Nianfan that he was an Immortal.

It was considered torture to play chess with him.

Li Nianfan groaned for a moment and asked softly, “How about…we stop here for today?”

Pei An did not dare to refute. He hurriedly understood and nodded, he replied, “Oh, okay. Pardon for the disturbance, Mr. Li.”

Li Nianfan laughed and said, “Haha, it’s not a disturbance. I welcome you all to come and visit anytime.”

Gu Xirou and the Holy Emperor stood up and said, “Mr. Li, we should be going now.”

“Yeah.” Li Nianfan saluted and glanced at the leftover cake at the table. He immediately asked, “Why didn’t you all finish it? Don’t save it up for me.”

The Holy Emperor smiled and replied, “Mr. Li, we already tried it. We’re too embarrassed to finish it all since it is so delicious.”

Li Nianfan shrugged it off, “Don’t be a stranger. It’s not something valuable anyway. If you like it, you can bring it back as a takeaway.”

He immediately packed the rest of the cake for them.

He had to make it up to them since he asked them to leave.

Gu Xirou and the other very carefully took over the cake. They thanked him in an excited voice, “Thanks, Mr. Li.”

The three of them walked out from the four-part architecture, still looking grateful.

The Holy Emperor sighed, “Sigh, we get opportunities from the expert every time we come here. We eat and we take, it’s so embarrassing because we can’t repay him!”

He felt like he was on the verge of another breakthrough once he ate the cake. He felt like it was not hard to become an Immortal.

He would never imagine it if it happened way back then. Even becoming a cultivator from the Combination realm was a luxury back then.

It was the benefits of following a bigshot. The taste of the boot to a bootlicker was delicious.

“Not only that. Do you guys know that Xiangqi is the Ultimate Spell Pattern? It is an enormous breakthrough for me!” Pei An was in awe, “The game is too profound for me or other Immortals. Only the bigshots in the Above Immortal Realm can play it!”

He paused. He suddenly looked serious. He said, “However, I understood a new level of meaning from Xiangqi. The Soldier, The Chariot, The Horse, and The General all had their place in the game. They were responsible for attacks, responsible for defense. Every chess piece had its jobs. It turned complications into straightforward things. That’s how a good spell pattern should essentially be! Therefore, as the expert’s chess piece, I have to be clear of my place. After deep thought, I think we are supposed to be The Soldiers. We are responsible for attacking in the first line, we should go forward and never look back!”

Gu Xirou nodded, “You make a lot of sense.”

The Holy Emperor analyzed, “If so. If we want to help the expert, we should help the Human Sovereign to win the war. We should focus on attacking the Demons right now.”

The three of them chatted and walked to the bottom of the mountain. Gu Changqing and the others waited for them. They hurriedly walked over when they saw them.

“Don’t ask, don’t tell. Look at what we brought you first,” said Pei An as he took out the bag and waved it in front of everyone.

“Is it food? You packed this from the expert?”

“Yum, what a nice smell! It must be from the expert.”

“The expert must have known that we were waiting here so he let you guys packed. He is too nice to us.”

“Control yourself. Don’t be touchy-feely. We have to share it evenly!”

The leftover cake was the size of a palm. They surrounded it like they were protecting the most precious treasure in the world.

Then, they carefully shared the cake in small bites. They forgot about everything else.

They finished the last piece of cake. Although everyone ate very little, they were still very satisfied. They licked their lips and reminisced in satisfaction.

However, they noticed something was off. They looked up at the sky.

A big cloud was in the sky. The white clouds cast a shadow.

A powerful aura was on the cloud. It was heading toward the Fallen Immortal Mountain.

Pei An and the others dropped everything and stopped the cloud without hesitation, they asked, “Who are you?”

The cloud slowly landed. There were about twenty cultivators on there. The weakest link was a cultivator from the Mahayala realm. The leader was an elder with white hair.

A square-faced middle-aged man sneered, “Ha, we saw your gathering from afar. You all seem to be fighting for food, we thought you were a bunch of rats. How entertaining. What’s up? Who gave you the courage to stop the Cloud Tribe Sect?”

“I see, you’re all cultivators from the Cloud Tribe Sect.”

Pei An tried hard to suppress his anger. He took a deep breath and asked, “Aren’t you all supposed to be in the Above Immortal Realm? Why are you here in the Immortal Realm?”

Pei An and the others tried to be peaceful because they did not want to affect the expert by fighting. It would not end well.

“The bridge to immortality was reconnected. Why can’t we stroll around in the Immortal Realm?”

The middle-aged man smiled. Then, he said, “We coincidentally passed by, this is a nice location. Quite beautiful. It is nice enough to be the new location for the Cloud Tribe Sect to settle down in the Immortal Realm.”
