Chapter 34: The Heavenly Chess Game!

Following Liu Changgong’s guidance, the direction of the chess game gradually became clearer. The black dragon started to come back to life. Now, it could compete with the white characters.
Li Xuanmen felt everyone’s gaze on him. He straightened his back and met everyone’s surprised gazes.
Wang Yuyan’s gaze made him even more excited.
Wang Yuyan looked at the direction of the chess game while looking at the confident Li Xuanmen outside the enchantment.
“Could it be that I’ve made a wrong assumption? Does this Prince Li Xuanmen really have real talent?”
Yu Hongye was also surprised. The information of the sect had never been wrong, unless this Prince Li had always been pretending to be a playboy…
The Nascent Soul stage cultivators inside the enchantment were also shocked.
“This person’s chess skills are amazing. I have never seen such a person before. Furthermore, he seems to be very relaxed. I guess he still has some strength left. To be able to have such accomplishments at such a young age, it is really shocking. Such a person did not have a great reputation in the past…”
Yu Hongye: The Xiaoyao Grand Sage is a person who enters the Dao through chess. There must be a great Dao hidden in the game of chess. To solve the game of chess is the collision of two people against the Dao. Although the game left behind has lost its essence, it is probably not something that an ordinary person can solve.
If this Prince Li really cracked the chess game… Prince Li seemed to be young. If given time, he may become the next Xiaoyao Grand Sage…
“Hiss, hiss –”
Such thoughts suddenly rose in the hearts of the people inside the barrier. They could not suppress it.
“No! It’s still not right!” x 2
As expected of old opponents. Yu Hongye and Wang Yuyan had such thoughts at the same time.
“Although Li Xuanmen was watching the game all the time, his mind was not focused. Instead, every time he wanted to place a stone, he would look up at Wang Yuyan (me). When he wanted to place a stone, his mind was even more distracted…”
Wang Yuyan felt that it was a little out of place. Although her chess skills were unable to crack this ‘Exquisite Chessboard’…
However, as the saying goes, chess was like a person. A person’s personality and thoughts could be seen from his chess moves.
A person who was hot-tempered and rash would usually be reckless in his chess moves. For a person with a dull personality, his chess moves would always be stable…
She always felt that the person who really played chess should be extraordinary, free and unrestrained, like an immortal-like hermit, and not a person like Li Xuanmen, who showed his emotions on his face and would drift away with just a little praise and gaze.
It was simply a feeling that Li Xuanmen and such chess moves were too incompatible.
He was not worthy!
Wang Yuyan did not have any evidence to point out that this game was not played by Li Xuanmen, but this feeling could not be washed away.
There was no reason, but it was extremely strong.
…
“Pu–”
A Golden Core cultivator in embroidered clothes stared at the chessboard. Suddenly, his face turned pale, and he crazily spat out a mouthful of blood. He was on the verge of death.
A Nascent Soul cultivator next to him glanced at him, he coldly said, “A cultivator who forcefully relied on medicinal pills to advance to the Golden Core realm dares to interfere? As an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, I already didn’t dare to look directly at the chessboard at the time of forty breaths. I only used the corner of my eyes, afraid that I would be affected too much and my Dao heart would be shattered. You, the second son of an immortal cultivator, also dare to spy on the Great Dao? You really don’t know death.”
Many cultivators present also nodded in agreement. After that move, ‘negating extreme and coming to peace’, the chessboard began to emit Dao aura. After that, as the chessboard progressed, the Dao aura became even stronger.
A cultivator with a slightly lower realm would have his Dao heart collapse if he took one more look, not to mention this cultivator who forcefully advanced to the Golden Core realm because of his family’s wealth.
This was also the reason why everyone was impressed and shocked by the person who broke the chess game.
“If this person is not born with an immortal appearance and Dao bones, then his Dao heart cultivation base is heaven-defying. Not only does he have to face the danger of the Dao rhythm pervading the air, but he also has to think about how to break the chess game. It’s really terrifying…”
Just as everyone was amazed, in fact, Li Xuanmen had already placed all his attention on Wang Yuyan. He only took out a little bit to communicate with Liu Changgong.
Black and white chess pieces were scattered everywhere, as if they contained countless principles.
The chess game was already in the middle.
Dong, please, please–
“Do you feel it?”
“What?”
“There seems to be some changes in the world. It seems to be shaking.”
Several Golden Core cultivators suddenly felt that the world they were in seemed to be a little strange.
Seeing their reactions, the Nascent Soul cultivator at the side explained.
“This is the Dao rhythm of the chess game that shook the heavens and earth. It started from that move, ‘negating extreme and coming to peace’. It’s just that your realms are too shallow, and it’s only now that you can feel it…”
“And from the looks of it, the shaking will last for a very long time. I reckon that when the chess game ends, the shaking will even get bigger and bigger…”
Zhu Zhao listened to their conversation and snickered to himself.
He said, “It’s clearly the Xiaoyao Grand Sage’s game. He’s using the power of the Heavenly Dao to strengthen his game… Can’t you see that the position of the sky has become lower?”
“Ah?! It’s really getting closer!”
After being reminded by Zhu Zhao, everyone looked up and saw that their heads had indeed lowered a little.
They turned to look at Wang Yuyan. As expected, she was sweating profusely and looked like she was struggling to hold on.
“Isn’t this Fairy Wang playing chess with the Heavenly Dao?”
“The Xiaoyao Grand Sage is indeed the only cultivator who has ascended in the past ten thousand years. He used the chess that he comprehended to align himself with the heavenly Dao and formed such a chess game.”
“This shouldn’t be called a ‘Exquisite Chessboard’. Instead, it should be called a ‘Heavenly Chess Game’. How can a person defeat the heavens?”
“Even if Fairy Wang holds the advantage because of the guidance of an expert, as the Heavenly Dao awakens, it will gradually wipe out her advantage. Even Fairy Wang…”
“Even Fairy Wang will perish under the wrath of the Heavenly Dao!”
After hearing these words, Li Xuanmen was also very anxious.
He only wanted to use the senior to pretend in front of the beauty. However, Fairy Wang was about to… die.
He was worried that his senior’s chess skills would not allow him to win, so he said to the communication talisman, “Senior, can we not play this game anymore?”
Liu Changgong was in high spirits and sat upright. He felt that his opponent was really interesting. He could actually play so many moves with him, which fully stimulated his competitive spirit.
“Continue! Why would I not continue? Such an opponent is very rare. If I don’t play with him, do I play with you guys?
“Don’t worry, I won’t lose!”
