Longevity Breaks the Chess Game

Beneath the Exquisite Chess Game.

Lu Changsheng held a black piece in his hand.

His gaze was fixed on the chessboard.

When he said, "I understand," everyone became even more curious.

Even the Exquisite Holy Lord stared at Lu Changsheng with intense curiosity in her eyes.

"What have you understood? I have been here for seven thousand years and have never been able to solve this problem. Now that my time is coming to an end, I would like to offer my guidance. What have you understood, young friend?"

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.

This was an old man who had just awakened from his meditation. He looked at Lu Changsheng and said these words.

"Isn't this Green Wood Daoist?"

"I didn't expect him to be here too?"

"I'm ignorant. Green Wood Daoist comprehended the chess game here seven thousand years ago. Back then, everyone thought that Green Wood Daoist could solve the Exquisite Chess Game. It's a pity that Green Wood Daoist has still not been able to see through the game in these seven thousand years."

"Senior Aoki, are you the Senior Aoki who cultivates the Green Wood Emperor Skill?"

"It was him."

"Hiss! The Green Wood Emperor Skill! This is the number one health cultivation method. It is said that if Foundation Establishment cultivator obtains this technique, he can live for a thousand years, and if a Bandit Cultivator masters this technique, he can live for a hundred thousand years. I never expected that Green Wood Daoist would actually be here."

"Alas, it's a pity that Green Wood Daoist has already awakened from his meditation. He hasn't yet fully comprehended the Exquisite Chess Game, which means his time is coming to an end. Under the Exquisite Chess Game, who knows how many peerless geniuses have been buried?"

"What? My time is almost up?"

"Yes, basically those who can wake up are all nearing their end. Once you enter the Exquisite Chess Game, you won't wake up until it's broken. Although the Exquisite Holy Lord didn't solve the game back then, he chose to give up at the crucial moment and then created the Exquisite Holy Land, which is quite rare."

"In fact, if you stay here for a while, you will find that many cultivators appear here every year under the Exquisite Chess Game. Most of them don't have much lifespan left. They yearn to solve the game and then obtain the legendary ascension fortune, so as to reach a higher level. But unfortunately, no one has ever been able to solve the Exquisite Chess Game. Now, we don't know if they have truly understood it or if they have only pretended to understand it."

The crowd discussed it and eventually revealed the man's identity.

And at this very moment.

The Green Wood Daoist was indeed nearing the end of his life. He had lived for a very long time, and in the end, he spent his remaining years under the Exquisite Chess Game.

But now, he still hasn't figured it out. However, his time is coming to an end, so he woke up from his meditation and planned to make some arrangements for his affairs. He happened to hear Lu Changsheng explain, so he couldn't help but ask.

Beneath the Exquisite Chess Game.

Lu Changsheng held the black piece in his hand and slowly said, "I understand the way to break this deadlock."

His tone was calm, but his expression was unusually firm.

"A way to break the deadlock?"

Green Wood Daoist shook his head, a look of sorrow in his eyes, and said, "Young friend, I have studied this game for seven thousand years and played four million three hundred and twenty million games. I have tried every method, but unfortunately, my limit is only seventy-nine moves. To break this game, I need to go at least one hundred and eight moves. How do you plan to break this game?"

The Green Wood Daoist spoke with a sorrowful expression.

Everyone was astonished.

Four million three hundred and twenty million games—what a concept that is!

Not to mention them, the onlookers also expressed their opinions.

"Indeed, the Exquisite Chess Game is ever-changing with every move. But everything in the world has its limits. A normal chess game, even an ancient incomplete game, can be solved by trying different moves and methods. Even if it's just a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse, it can be solved. But for hundreds of thousands of years, no one has been able to solve it. This Exquisite Chess Game is truly an unsolvable problem."

Someone remarked, which also revealed a fact.

A chess game!

No matter how extraordinary something is, there are always limits. Even if you try and deduce one by one, you will eventually find a way to solve it.

The problem is that no one has been able to solve it, and it has become an obsession and inner demon for countless people.

Otherwise, if it were merely an ancient unsolved puzzle, it would have been solved long ago.

To put it bluntly, even if someone doesn't know how to play Go, after five thousand years of playing, surely they can't solve a single game?

Only.

Lu Changsheng did not answer what Green Wood Daoist said; he simply watched the chess game quietly.

Then, the black pieces were placed randomly in one place.

The white pieces were quickly placed.

In an instant, all seven black pieces were swallowed.

Upon seeing this, Green Wood Daoist shook his head, a look of disappointment appearing in his eyes.

The next moment, Lu Changsheng placed another piece.

But the result remained unchanged.

The white pieces have taken shape, transforming into a great dragon, while the black pieces, forming a divine tiger, have always lacked sharp claws.

This game is very difficult to win.

However, when Lu Changsheng laid his third Zi Time...

More than a dozen black pieces were captured.

The fourth Zi Time.

More than a dozen black pieces were captured.

At this moment, many people shook their heads, because Lu Changsheng had already lost. Half of the black pieces had been eaten, and at this point, even if the claws formed, it would be of no use.

"You lost."

Green Wood Daoist shook his head and said this.

"I know."

Lu Changsheng answered calmly.

"So what did you understand?"

Green Wood Daoist was somewhat curious.

"Understand how to break the deadlock."

Lu Changsheng answered calmly.

"It's a dead end, how do you break it?"

Green Wood Daoist was somewhat angry.

This game is clearly at a dead end, so how can there be any talk of breaking the deadlock?

However, Lu Changsheng slowly spoke.

"The game of chess is dead, but the Exquisite Chess Game in my heart is not dead."

He said this.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Many people looked on with curiosity, wondering what Lu Changsheng meant by this.

The next moment, Lu Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back and slowly walked towards the Exquisite Chess Game.

Turn your gaze to those who are in deep meditation.

He then shook his head and said.

"This Exquisite Chess Game is simply unsolvable!"

"This is a dead end."

He said that.

"Absurd!"

Green Wood Daoist was the first to speak, glaring angrily at Lu Changsheng.

"Sigh!" Lu Changsheng sighed. He was neither angry nor annoyed. He simply turned his back to the crowd and spoke calmly.

"The Exquisite Chess Game determines life and death upon entry. It spans nineteen lines and evolves the laws of the world. But have you ever considered that there is no chess game in this game?"

He spoke, looking at the Exquisite Chess Game, and said this.

In an instant, everyone was stunned.

Some people seemed to understand, some remained silent, and some were full of doubt.

"This is utterly absurd! The chessboard is right in front of you, yet you claim you can't see it? You're just playing tricks."

Green Wood Daoist was somewhat exasperated. He pointed to the Exquisite Chess Game on the cliff and said this.

Lu Changsheng did not answer.

Instead, he drew a celestial sword.

In an instant, Sword Qi soared into the sky, and terrifying Law Power permeated the surroundings.

Everyone was astonished, wondering what Lu Changsheng was up to.

Are you going to fight Green Wood Daoist?

However, just as everyone was astonished.

Lu Changsheng raised his immortal sword, and tens of thousands of Sword Qi intertwined in an instant, directly smashing the Exquisite Chess Game on the cliff.

The nineteen interwoven lines of the chessboard were instantly smoothed out.

Each chess piece was shattered by the Sword Qi.

Swish, swish, swish!

At that moment, the thousands of people who were in meditation opened their eyes instantly.

They were somewhat confused and at a loss.

The chessboard on the cliff face has disappeared.

It was forcibly destroyed by Lu Changsheng.

"How dare you!"

"What are you doing?"

"I'm almost at solving the game, why are you erasing it?"

"Where is my chess game? Where is my chess game? Where is my chess game?"

A series of voices rang out.

Below the cliff, all those who had entered the game awoke at that moment, their eyes filled with confusion.

Green Wood Daoist was even more shocked.

He stared at Lu Changsheng, his eyes filled with boundless rage.

"It's one thing if you don't understand chess, and it's another if you spout nonsense, but why did you have to destroy the game?"

He roared, his eyes filled with sorrow.

Below the cliff.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng slowly shook his head and said, "Everyone, there is no unsolvable chess game in this world. Any chess game can be solved as long as time is spent, whether it is the Exquisite Chess Game or the True Dragon Chess Game."

"Every chess game has a solution, but this game has remained unsolved for hundreds of thousands of years."

"It's not because it's too difficult, but because this game of chess simply doesn't exist."

Lu Changsheng's words caused everyone to frown.

"The chessboard is right on the cliff face, how can you say it doesn't exist? Senior Brother Lu, I really don't understand."

Someone spoke up, unable to resist asking this question.

However, Lu Changsheng took a deep breath.

"In fact, the Exquisite Chess Game is not on the cliff, but in the heart of each person."

"Rather than calling it Exquisite Chess Game, it's more accurate to call it a chess game of obsession, a chess game of inner demons."

"Gentlemen, the white piece in this game of chess is yourself."

"Obsession is like a demon in one's heart!"

Lu Changsheng spoke, saying this.

"No! That's impossible. What proof do you have?"

When the Green Wood Daoist spoke, he simply didn't believe him.

However, Lu Changsheng sighed, and then said with an extremely calm gaze.

"If you don't believe me, then I'd like to ask you, does anyone still remember what the Exquisite Chess Game originally looked like?"

He spoke slowly.

But this statement was like a thunderbolt from the blue.

The tens of thousands of people present were all stunned.

Including the Exquisite Holy Lord.

Because they were astonished to discover it.

They could no longer remember the original appearance of the Exquisite Chess Game.

Everyone was stunned.

Green Wood Daoist's eyes widened even more.

A thousand words were stuck in my throat, and I couldn't utter a single one.

They couldn't believe it.

Lu Changsheng's words were like a wake-up call.

When the game was destroyed, everyone forgot the original diagram of the Exquisite Chess Game.

They were cultivators, let alone a chessboard diagram.

They can memorize even a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand chess games.

But the Exquisite Chess Game was something they couldn't recall at all.

Lu Changsheng remained calm.

In fact, he pondered for ten days and ten nights.

Only then did I understand this principle.

There is no chess game that cannot be solved.

Because there is no solution, no one will try to solve it.

Since there is no solution, what is there to resolve?

But the Exquisite Chess Game is different, because no matter how you play, you will have a certain illusion.

They believe there is a way to solve this.

They believed there was a glimmer of hope.

That's why you're persistent and why you get involved—because you see hope.

Although the chances are slim, at least we saw it.

Your obsession will also be born at this moment.

Your inner demons will also be born at this moment.

Therefore, Exquisite Chess Game.

The one playing the white pieces is myself!

The one playing the black pieces is the inner demon!

It cannot be broken!

Unsolvable!

Because the person who knows you best is yourself.

Your inner demons have appeared.

Your obsession has surfaced.

Then everything was destined.

And at this very moment.

Suddenly, a phantom slowly appeared on the cliff face.

This has attracted a lot of attention.

A three-thousand-word chapter, with more to come.
