"Isn't it strange?" Guo Chang laughed, as if he saw through Chen Feng's thoughts.
Chen Feng nodded without denying it.
"Playing chess here is actually a test for me!" Guo Chang said softly.
"Test?" Chen Feng was puzzled.
"It tests a person's character," Guo Chang explained.
Chen Feng looked at Guo Chang and vaguely understood something.
"In fact, I sensed your arrival from the first moment you stepped in here." Guo Chang said.
Chen Feng couldn't help but nodded. With Guo Chang's strength as an Eight Tribulations Loose Immortal, it was naturally impossible for him not to sense Chen Feng's arrival.
"But I ignored you, actually I just wanted to test your patience!" Guo Chang looked at Chen Feng with appreciation, his words full of kindness: "For six days, you didn't move an inch, you even controlled your breathing, for fear of disturbing my chess game. Before you, I have tested ten people, but you are the one that makes me most satisfied."
Chen Feng suddenly realized. Although this test sounds simple, it is extremely difficult to do. If there is a little impatience in the heart, it will reveal a flaw, thus disturbing the peace. Chen Feng was also grateful, so he waited for Guo Chang sincerely, and this is how he did it.
"To be honest, if you made even the slightest noise in the past six days, I would have stopped the chess game to greet you. Then, you wouldn't have the chance to see the artistic conception of the chess game later." Guo Chang continued.
Hearing this, Chen Feng secretly thought that he was lucky. If he had really made a sound at that time and affected Guo Chang's chess game, he would not have had the chance to see such a state of mind, let alone eliminate the hidden dangers in his body.
However, once you get it, you get it. Just as Guo Chang said before, if it is yours, you should take it with peace of mind.
"Chen Feng, this chess game was obtained by me by chance from the cave of a senior master. It contains great opportunities. I believe you have already deeply experienced the artistic conception just now." Guo Chang suddenly changed the subject and his tone became serious.
"Yes, Deputy Sect Leader, that artistic conception is of great help to me!" Chen Feng nodded gratefully and said.
"I'm glad it helps." Guo Chang laughed loudly and said, "It's worth it that this chess game has been in my hands for thousands of years. Today I can finally retire with success."
Chen Feng's eyes fixed, and suddenly he heard a "crackling" sound. He saw that the stone platform where the chess pieces were placed was now covered with many cracks. These cracks spread like spider webs, becoming more and more numerous and deeper. Until finally, the stone platform and the chess pieces on it suddenly "cracked" and turned into a pile of debris.
“Deputy Sect Leader, this…” Chen Feng said hesitantly.
Guo Chang smiled faintly, his eyes full of ease: "This stone platform itself is a magic weapon. A chess game, when played to the end, can stimulate the artistic conception sealed in the stone platform. According to my guess, this is a kind of inheritance treasure refined by a powerful cultivator in the past, used to pass on his will and insights. Now that the artistic conception has been stimulated, the stone platform has completed its mission and will naturally dissipate."
Chen Feng said solemnly: "Deputy Sect Leader, why did you choose me to inherit this legacy?"
Even if Chen Feng was beaten to death, he would never believe that such a good thing would come to him for no reason. Guo Chang must have his reasons for testing him and letting him inherit such a state of mind.
Guo Chang stared at Chen Feng, as if he wanted to see through him. "Chen Feng, you gained the most from the entry trial, right? Most of the monster crystals you got were probably stored in a special storage magic weapon, right?"
Chen Feng frowned and looked at Guo Chang with some caution. You know, everyone saw that Chen Feng only took out so many spirit stones from the small world. If Guo Chang really wanted to investigate, it might expose the existence of Tiandan Immortal Mansion.
Tiandan Xianfu is incomparable, Chen Feng believes that even Guo Chang will be tempted. So Chen Feng has to be on guard.
Seeing Chen Feng's slightly defensive expression, Guo Chang suddenly laughed: "What are you thinking, little brat? Why would I covet some of your treasures?"
Chen Feng blinked and said nothing.
"Hahaha, look how anxious you are. Indeed, if you really have that kind of special storage magic weapon, I'm afraid even the powerful immortals will covet it. But don't forget, I am the deputy head of Chaotian Sect, and you are a disciple of Chaotian Sect. I am so happy that you have such a treasure, how could I covet your treasure?" Guo Chang scolded with a smile, his eyes full of amusement.
Chen Feng felt a little relieved after hearing what Guo Chang said: "What does the deputy leader mean?"
"Okay, I won't beat around the bush. Ever since I became the deputy head of Chaotian Sect, I have been looking for someone who can inherit my legacy. Every year at the disciple-recruiting ceremony, I will select a group of people with excellent qualifications to come here for testing. However, so far no one has been able to pass my test and inherit the artistic conception of the stone platform. Even the top ten in the disciple-recruiting ceremony not long ago were not able to let me complete the chess game and stimulate the artistic conception."
At this point, Guo Chang's tone became excited: "I noticed you after the disciple-taking ceremony ended that day. So, after I learned about your crisis at Bizhu Peak, I asked Wang Chao to protect you at all costs, and finally asked him to bring you here to accept my test. And you finally lived up to my expectations and actually passed my test!"
Chen Feng was speechless. Perhaps it was because he had been a bit too eye-catching when he was confronting Liu Zhaowen, which was why he had attracted the attention of this giant.
"Chen Feng, your talent is the most outstanding I have ever seen, even stronger than those monsters on the Heavenly Ranking. I am afraid that only the Sect Master can be on par with you. Although I don't know why you would rather stay in the outer sect than enter the inner sect, as long as you are in my Chaotian Sect, I will protect you and not let anything happen to you!" Guo Chang said in a sonorous and powerful voice, as if he was reciting a great oath.
Chen Feng sighed in his heart, and for the first time he felt a sense of belonging to the Chaotian Sect. From what he read, Chen Feng believed that Guo Chang's words were from the bottom of his heart and did not seem fake.
"Chen Feng, do you know what is the most important thing for a sect to become strong?" Guo Chang asked in a deep voice.
"Strong ones, strong ones who can serve as pillars!" Chen Feng said with certainty: "For a sect to stand firm, peak military strength is the most important! As long as you have the power to shock everything, then others will not dare to bully you!"
"Although what you said is correct, it is still a bit one-sided." Guo Chang shook his head: "Having a strong person in charge can certainly make the sect stand firm, but it cannot make the sect stronger. If a sect wants to be strong, it needs a group of evil heirs. With their continuous progress, the sect will prosper and become strong!"
"Chen Feng, I have high hopes for you. Are you willing to become my disciple and the future master of Chaotian Sect?" Guo Chang's eyes shot out two rays of light as solid as real energy, staring closely at Chen Feng.
