"This is originally everyone's opportunity... If others had your talent, they could have experienced an epiphany here as well..."

Cui Haoyu lightly shook his head and lamented.

"Perhaps you don't know, but hundreds of people have come here, yet only forty-two people could gain enlightenment, and among those forty-two, aside from five who fell due to accidents, the remaining thirty-seven all crossed into the Grandmaster level..."

Recalling this history, Cui Haoyu couldn't help but sigh. The Cui Family and the Fu Family have passed down their legacy for centuries since Master of Yijian Fu Cailin, with generations numbering in tens. However, experts who could step into Grandmaster level were few and far between.

And among these Grandmaster-level experts, most have had insights here at this place, including himself and Fu Qinglin...

Therefore, being able to gain insight here is almost regarded as a very good stepping stone into the Grandmaster level, a point the Cui and Fu families very much agree on.

Unfortunately, none of the four people who came here experienced enlightenment. Although it's not certain that these people can't step into Grandmaster level, at this moment, they felt somewhat disappointed.

The sword intent of these two words seems like a shortcut; if one can gain insight into it, then it's akin to stepping onto the fast track, swiftly advancing forward...

"Alright, it's almost time, limited time. You should all enter the Chess Sword Formation Remnant together!"

The four individuals from the Cui and Fu families didn't have any enlightenment, so Cui Haoyu and Fu Qinglin's complexion turned a bit unpleasant. Hence, they didn't want to talk much about it, urging Qin Fang and the others to set off quickly.

Qin Fang naturally would not go against this; he had already gained some benefits and was even more expectant of the Chess Sword Formation Remnant. Although he didn't expect to crack the Chess Sword Formation Remnant, he was very willing to gain a little more benefit at least.

Cui Haoyu and Fu Qinglin, along with numerous elders from both families, gathered around this stone wall, forming a circle with the two Family Heads at the center, blocking the view.

Of course, these elders kept their backs to the Family Heads, facing Qin Fang and the others.

Qin Fang and the other four, although feeling somewhat peculiar, still stayed quietly in place. However, Qin Fang noticed that Cui Haoyu and Fu Qinglin seemed to take out something resembling a key and began fiddling with it in front of the stone wall.

Crack, crack, crack, crack~~

Qin Fang, keenly perceptive, faintly heard these slight mechanical sounds, seemingly of a mechanism being triggered, and then noticed a stone door slowly emerging from the wall, revealing a deep cave inside.

After the stone door opened, these elders moved aside to clear a path.

"The few of you just need to keep moving inside to reach the destination of the Chess Sword Formation Remnant... But I must remind you that, no matter what happens on the way, you must remain calm, only then can you ensure your safety! Otherwise..."

Cui Haoyu pointed to the deep cave as he spoke, his expression unusually solemn, evidently suggesting that this cave was not straightforward and harbored unknown threats.

"Understood..."

Qin Fang didn't speak, but the other four had clearly been briefed by their seniors. Although they seemed very excited, they were suppressing their emotions.

Looking at the deep cave, Qin Fang appeared slightly hesitant.

As he constantly felt that Cui Haoyu and Fu Qinglin were scheming against him, this cave would undoubtedly be the best place to execute their plan.

Once he stepped inside and the stone door closed, Qin Fang would inevitably be sealed inside with no escape.

Although the secret place of the Ryu Family was also within a mountain, Qin Fang at least knew the way to open it; but the Chess Sword Formation Remnant was different, judging from Cui Haoyu and Fu Qinglin's seriousness, it was clearly very concealed.

"Young Master Qin, what's wrong?"

As Qin Fang hesitated, the other four had already entered one after another without a second thought, leaving Cui Haoyu to ask him this question when he saw Qin Fang standing there.

"Nothing!"

Qin Fang shook his head. Though still wary at heart, seeing the other four have already entered, he ultimately decided to go ahead.

Even if Cui Haoyu were plotting something bad, Qin Fang reasoned it unlikely that they'd sacrifice four pivotal disciples of their families just to deal with him alone, so he decided it was worth the risk.

Moreover, Qin Fang had nothing else planned.

Thus, he quickly moved toward the dark cave and stepped inside swiftly.

The cave was pitch black and profoundly dark, to the point of being unable to see one's fingers; the four who went inside were completely silent, yet Qin Fang still chose to enter despite this.

"Buzz~~"

As Qin Fang crossed inside, his ears were immediately captured by a distinct, muffled sound, causing his senses to nearly go numb at that instant.

A strange intense light flashed before his eyes, and then faded into a haze; once the light diminished, Qin Fang found himself not in a dark tunnel but within a bright cave.

"Friendly reminder: You are in an illusion array... Exercise caution!"

At the moment of Qin Fang's astonishment, his mind immediately received such a notice, causing him a moment's pause.

"Could this be the Chess Sword Formation Remnant?"

This was indeed an illusion array, as indicated by the system's clear message; however, a gigantic Go board appeared before Qin Fang, already arranged with numerous pieces forming a remnant, leading him to this query...(To be continued.
