I Get It Now

The scene was quite tragic as the old man collapsed, and the lively atmosphere faded considerably.

But soon, people from the Great Yan Dynasty appeared and took the old man's body away.

The Exquisite Holy Lord spoke slowly from the side.

"Many people have died here under the Exquisite Chess Game; this is the norm."

She remained calm, not appearing overly sorrowful. This wasn't due to her personality, but rather because she had seen so much that she had become somewhat numb.

Lu Changsheng remained silent, only looking at the Exquisite Chess Game.

At the same time, I couldn't help but feel a myriad of emotions.

If he truly knew how to play chess, he was willing to solve the puzzle and help everyone let go of their obsessions.

Unfortunately, he really doesn't know how to play chess.

Beneath the Exquisite Chess Game,

Lu Changsheng watched quietly.

There are chess pieces at the foot of the cliff. Everyone can play chess, or they can play chess with their Primordial Spirit, so that no one else can see them.

Lu Changsheng stood at the foot of the cliff. He couldn't understand it, but he had to enter a state of deep thought.

Meanwhile, discussions also began to rise.

"Do you think Lu Changsheng can solve this chess puzzle that no one has been able to solve for 100,000 years?"

"I believe it is possible, Senior Brother Changsheng. Along the way, we have gained fortune in the Yin Yang Holy Land, proven our swordsmanship in the Shu Gate Holy Land, practiced formations in the Myriad Beginnings Holy Land, and discussed sword manuals in the Purple Azure Holy Land. Now that we have arrived at the Exquisite Holy Land, breaking this strange situation will naturally be a piece of cake."

Someone then began to list out Lu Changsheng's deeds one by one.

"This Lu Changsheng is actually so extraordinary?"

Some people were shocked and found it unbelievable.

"You've forgotten something: I've heard that the divine beast of Central Province has already been obtained by Senior Brother Lu."

Someone said this, and the whole place instantly erupted in cheers.

And so, an hour later.

Finally, Lu Changsheng took the first move.

A black piece appeared in his hand. It was getting late, and if he delayed any longer, he would miss his meal.

Get off early, finish your meal early, and go home for dinner early.

At this moment, countless people turned their gaze to Lu Changsheng.

Everyone was waiting for a miracle to happen.

The disciples of Exquisite Holy Land stared intently at Lu Changsheng. Even the usually silent and calm Exquisite Holy Maiden couldn't help but look at Lu Changsheng.

Call out!

In an instant, Lu Changsheng threw the chess piece in his hand into a corner of the chessboard.

"Hiss!"

"It's this location?"

"He placed his piece on a flat surface."

"How did I end up in this position?"

"Why is this move placed here? The chessboard is now forming Black Tiger's Claws, and this is the head. What does this mean?"

"If we land here, won't we just get eaten again? Is Senior Brother Lu thinking of putting himself in a do-or-die situation to survive?"

The crowd began to murmur amongst themselves.

On the Exquisite Chess Game on the cliff, a white character appeared and fell down, instantly causing six black pieces to disappear.

It was eaten completely.

"You ate it?"

Lu Changsheng was a little confused. He had only just started his move when six of his pieces were eaten.

He quickly made another move.

It was eaten again.

Make another move.

It was still eaten.

In one breath, forty-two of its pieces were eaten, leaving it with absolutely no chance of survival.

"Hiss! Is this a case of putting oneself in a do-or-die situation to survive?"

Some people were amazed.

"What's the point of having offspring? This is suicide. The tiger's head has been eaten clean. Even if it develops claws, they won't be of any use."

"We've already lost."

"Yes, we've lost completely."

"It seems Lu Changsheng is nothing special after all."

"Yeah, I thought Lu Changsheng was really strong, but I didn't expect him to be so weak."

"It seems I have hope again."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion. Some people were overjoyed to see Lu Changsheng's pieces being captured one after another, and turned their attention to the female disciples of the Exquisite Holy Land.

However, the female disciples were all incredibly shocked.

"A master of chess can last forty-five moves, but Senior Brother Changsheng can lose the whole game in just five moves. Senior Brother Changsheng is indeed extraordinary."

"Yes, yes, Senior Brother Changsheng is so handsome."

"Although he lost, Senior Brother Changsheng looked so cool playing chess."

"To lose the game so completely in just five moves, Senior Brother Changsheng is truly extraordinary."

"Did we lose? I've been watching Senior Brother Changsheng the whole time, I haven't even looked at the chessboard yet."

"Keep going, Senior Brother Changsheng, don't be discouraged."

"It's okay if you lose, we support you."

The disciples all spoke up, their eyes sparkling with admiration.

The onlookers were bewildered. "???"

This works?

Even if you lose, you can still get praised?

You can brag about losing a game of chess in just five moves?

Everyone fell into deep thought, feeling inexplicably sad. Could you please stop being so superficial? Can you at least praise us a little?

We lost!

We definitely lost.

Lu Changsheng did not continue playing chess.

Even if he's terrible at chess, he knows he's lost.

"As expected, I still can't win this game using the same Gomoku strategy."

With a sigh, Lu Changsheng realized he wasn't just playing randomly; he was trying to turn the game around using the same method as Gomoku.

Unfortunately, it failed to be revitalized.

And they lost completely.

Finally, the good luck ended.

Finally, the plot started to take a serious turn.

And finally, his talent ran dry.

Lu Changsheng sighed. He stood with his hands behind his back. Since he had lost the game, he could only try to look cool and salvage his image.

As expected, many people fell silent when Lu Changsheng put down his chess piece and conceded defeat.

The female cultivators of Exquisite Holy Land were all encouraging Lu Changsheng, telling him to keep going and not to be discouraged.

The Exquisite Holy Lord couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment, but she quickly said, "The Exquisite Chess Game has remained unsolved for hundreds of thousands of years. It's normal that you can't solve it. Perhaps no one can solve this game."

As she spoke, there was an indescribable desolation in her words.

This Exquisite Chess Game has driven countless cultivators to despair.

"It is the incompetence of the younger generation."

Lu Changsheng said something.

This was the first time he had felt frustrated.

However, considering that I don't know how to play chess, there's nothing more to think about.

But then he looked at the Exquisite Chess Game again and frowned.

In theory, some strange endgames are extremely difficult to solve, and one may never find a solution even in a lifetime.

But for hundreds of thousands of years, generation after generation of people have played chess here, including many chess masters.

But why hasn't anyone been able to crack it yet?

Lu Changsheng quietly watched the chess game.

The crowd remained silent, not disturbing him, assuming he was continuing to comprehend the Exquisite Chess Game.

"Do not be attached to the pursuit of immortality."

An hour later, the Exquisite Holy Lord suddenly spoke slowly.

She reminded Lu Changsheng not to be too attached to it, otherwise, if he really got caught up in it, he might waste his years and squander his precious youth, just like she did.

Lu Changsheng did not answer.

He looked down at the thousands of people below the chessboard, who were staring intently at the game on the cliff. Some had been sitting there for thousands of years, while others had only been there for hundreds or decades.

But everyone wants to understand the Exquisite Chess Game.

The game of chess has become their obsession.

Lu Changsheng then turned his gaze to the Exquisite Chess Game.

The white piece has taken shape and transformed into a large dragon.

The black piece, though not yet fully formed, is incredibly sharp. Once its claws appear, it can directly tear open the dragon's belly, which is its most vulnerable spot.

It gives the impression that Black has a glimmer of hope.

Even someone who doesn't know how to play chess can understand it.

Lu Changsheng closed his eyes.

He stood at the foot of the cliff.

Remaining silent.

Time passed little by little.

One hour!

Three hours!

Five hours!

Twelve hours!

A full day and night passed.

Everyone was looking at Lu Changsheng. Not only did no one leave, but even more people came.

A day and a night passed.

The Exquisite Holy Lord sighed. She could sense that Lu Changsheng had completely 'fallen into the game'.

She wanted to interrupt Lu Changsheng.

He just thought about it for a moment, then sighed and didn't say anything more.

And so it went, the second day, the fourth day, the seventh day.

It continued until the tenth day.

The sun has just risen.

A ray of setting sun shone down on Lu Changsheng.

At that moment, a gentle breeze blew by.

A gentle breeze stirred the hem of Lu Changsheng's clothes.

The next moment.

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, eyes that defied description.

"I see."

A voice rang out.

The sound wasn't very loud.

But the news spread to everyone's ears.

In an instant, the already crowded area at the foot of the cliff erupted in cheers.

Lu Changsheng understood.

He truly understood.

We now know how to break the deadlock.

The next moment, Lu Changsheng picked up a black piece and stared at the Exquisite Chess Game.

There's more to come!
