Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 979: Chapter 979: Tian Zhao Star Domain, Astonishing Chess Game (2nd Update)

After ascending to the status of a True Immortal, Xue An upgraded and fortified the Trans-ocean Starship once again.

Especially since the starship that Ye Liuyan had traveled in from Lihen Heaven, although smashed by Xue Ansheng, could still have its materials directly reused.

Therefore, the current Trans-ocean Starship, although not very large, was extremely sturdy and had abundant power.

Even faced with the immense suction force of the spatial vortex, it remained more than capable.

Thus, Xue An directly controlled the starship and released a void chain towards the depths of the vortex.

At this moment, the people on that starship obviously spotted the Trans-ocean Starship, and upon seeing the chain, they immediately pushed their vessel to its limits to move towards it.

Finally.

The starship connected with the chain and then linked together.

The Trans-ocean Starship shuddered slightly, drawn inwards by the powerful suction.

Xue An’s eyes narrowed slightly, his powerful Divine Sense took control of the entire Trans-ocean Starship, the engines fired at full power, and then he began to frantically pull it outward.

The void chain was stretched to its limit.

Under the full force of the Trans-ocean Starship, the other starship was gradually pulled away from the spatial vortex.

Finally, both starships escaped the range of the spatial vortex and came to a safe area.

An Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time.

A Divine Sense issued from the other starship.

”They want to come over to thank us,” Hu Ying said softly, sensing the other’s Divine Sense.

”Alright, let them come,” Xue An said nonchalantly.

Actually, before rescuing the starship, Xue An had already discerned the situation aboard through his powerful Divine Sense.

It was a small starship, and the aura of Divine Sense indicated there were only two people onboard.

Such an arrangement clearly was not that of Starry Pirates or wanderers, which was why Xue An decided to intervene.

Otherwise, indiscriminately showing sympathy in The Multiverse Realms could be a deadly affair.

When the two starships docked and the people from the other starship came over.

An Yan and Hu Ying let out a slight gasp.

Because the individuals who appeared before them were siblings, apparently no older than twenty-one or twenty-two years of age.

At this moment, the youthful faces of the siblings still bore the remnants of fear from nearly being swallowed by the spatial vortex.

However, their attire and features indicated that their background was probably quite reputable.

The siblings were also taken aback, clearly startled by the beauty of An Yan and Hu Ying.

However, the slightly older boy soon regained his composure and stepped forward respectfully to make a bow with a clenched fist, ”Many thanks to everyone for your help! Gong Changyue of the Tianmu Gong Family, hereby expresses his gratitude!”

The girl also recovered from her initial panic, yet her attention seemed captivated by Hu Ying.

”Brother, that looks like a fox! So cute!”

Gong Changyue frowned, ”Xueman, do not be rude!”

Gong Xueman pouted but her eyes remained fixed on Hu Ying.

Hu Ying’s expression turned slightly unpleasant.

Meanwhile, Xue An remarked indifferently, ”Divine Thought Cultivator?”

Hearing this, the Gong siblings were startled, and then Gong Changyue looked at Xue An with a doubtful gaze and nodded.

”Yes, but I don’t know who you are...”

”Oh, it’s nothing! We were just passing by and happened to encounter you, so we helped you out!” Xue An said indifferently.

At that moment, Gong Changyue’s heart vibrated slightly, for he realized he couldn’t see through the man before him.

Enshrouded by a thick fog after his own Divine Thought, this discovery sent a chill through Gong Changyue’s heart, making his attitude grow three times more respectful.

”Sir, your casual act of kindness has indeed saved the lives of us Gong siblings!”

Xue An smiled, ”The Void is vast, to meet by chance must be fate!”

Just then.

Gong Changyue’s sister, Gong Xueman, spoke with a strange tone, ”Brother, they are playing Divine Thought chess too!”

Indeed.

On the table inside the starship, there was a very rudimentary three-layer chess set.

An Yan blushed.

She had been playing it out of boredom to amuse herself.

But since Divine Thought and intelligence were not An Yan’s forte, she had pondered for several days and could only just manage a three-layer chess set.

At this, Gong Xueman covered her mouth and giggled, ”Hehe, I could win that kind of chess set with my eyes closed when I was three years old, and people are still playing it now?”

Gong Changyue’s face turned stern, and he said solemnly, ”Xueman!”

It was evident that Gong Xueman held a great fear of her brother. At his words, she stuck out her tongue but still whispered,

”And you want to participate in the Astounding Chess Competition with this level?”

Although quiet, Xue An heard her, a flash of light sparkling in his eyes.

At this, Gong Changyue said apologetically, ”I’m really sorry, my sister is naturally unruly and speaks without a filter; please don’t take her words to heart!”

Xue An smiled slightly, ”No worries, but did I hear your sister just mention the ’Astounding Chess Competition’?”

Gong Changyue was startled, ”Aren’t you here to participate in that competition? Otherwise, why would you appear in such a barbaric starry domain?”

Xue An remained noncommittal, ”I was passing through here for other matters!”

Gong Changyue replied with a bitter smile, ”I see, it seems we siblings are truly meant not to die yet, otherwise we would have perished in the spatial vortex long ago!”

Then, Gong Changyue briefly explained the competition.

”This Astounding Chess Competition is an event hosted by the Tian Zhao Star Domain, which is a month’s standard journey from here!”

”Our Tianmu Star Gong family, due to our proficiency in the path of chess, has also received an invitation!”

”However, due to the long journey and some delays caused by other matters, we are pressed for time. To make it before the opening in Tian Zhao Star, we risked taking shortcuts through this wild starry domain, which led us into the spatial vortex!”

Xue An hadn’t been particularly attentive, but when he heard ’Tian Zhao Star Domain,’ his eyes suddenly brightened, and he asked with interest,

”It sounds like the Tian Zhao Star Domain has high cultivation in chess!”

Gong Changyue’s eyes flashed with a hint of defeat, and he sighed helplessly, ”Yes, one could say that for the past two hundred years, the Tian Zhao Star Domain has been dominant in the path of chess, hence the scale of this Astounding Chess Competition has been growing ever larger!”

Xue An nodded noncommittally, then suddenly smiled, ”How fortuitous, I too have some research in the path of chess. Why don’t we head to the Tian Zhao Star Domain together and watch this bustling event!”

Gong Changyue was slightly taken aback.

Gong Xueman sneered slightly, disdainfully saying, ”Even my brother wouldn’t dare claim he has extensive research in chess, you...”

Saying this, Gong Xueman pointed at the rudimentary three-layer chess set on the table, the implication clear.

Gong Changyue’s expression chilled, ”Gong Xueman, if you dare speak to our benefactor like that again, beware that I will lock you in the chess room when we return, and not let you out for ten years!”
