Chess Game

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

But the affairs of the world cannot be explained by luck alone.

Even though Meng Qingying the fate of a nation on her shoulders, she still needs to act with extreme caution and risk her life. In the past few years, her journey to the Netherworld has been fraught with danger, even though Qin Yi knew nothing about it. The Netherworld Realm is never a peaceful place.

If Li Wuxian hadn't received Qin Yi's Jade Pendant and teachings for Cultivation Method- defense, she would have died countless times from assassination attempts. What use would that wisp of the Da Qian Kingdom be to her?

Many people believe that luck is not as important as a well-thought-out strategy. Even though Zheng Yunyi was unlucky to the core, he didn't feel that he couldn't go on living. Moreover, luck can be improved, and they have their own ways. Maybe he is doing better than most people.

This line of thinking is not only held by the Scheming Sect, but also by chess players.

Xuan Hao Zhenren initially intended to launch a surprise attack on the Thousand Mountains Alliance. This loosely organized alliance lacked any emergency preparedness or daily vigilance; it was a chaotic place where immortals and humans lived together. He only needed to emerge from seclusion and immediately ambush Cloud Wanderer of the Thousand Mountains Alliance, and the entire Thousand Mountains Alliance would crumble.

Perhaps if the sneak attack is well-timed, killing Cloud Wanderer will leave no one knowing what happened. Then, we can take care of Tai Huang Jun and his group of Chess Watcher one by one, and easily bring the entire Thousand Mountains Alliance into our hands, turning all the immortals and humans into servants Cauldron.

This kind of unruly alliance of Rogue Cultivator is simply not suited to a real competitive landscape. Once chaos erupts, the sect model will be the most appropriate.

He had a great dream, but he couldn't get into the Thousand Mountains Alliance.

Beyond the mountains, a great formation had been erected long ago, prohibiting entry and exit, effectively sealing off the mountain.

Xuan Hao Zhenren was extremely shocked. He had never seen this broken alliance close its mountains for thousands of years. What was going on?

However, Xuan Hao Zhenren wasn't too worried. He only needed to keep the Thousand Mountains Alliance in check, preventing them from making any rash moves, and send his disciples out to plunder resources and Cauldron in various places. With the Thousand Mountains Alliance holed up and unable to move, he had his own ways to improve. When the balance of power shifted, what use would such a broken alliance be?

Within the Thousand Mountains Alliance, the highest peak Cloud Wanderer Peak.

Several people are fighting.

"Chess Watcher, fine, just watch the game! Can you please shut up? If you keep babbling, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

"Food is food, can't we even say anything? There's plenty of open space over there where people don't compete, but we come here and order a measly three dishes? Is that really necessary?"

"I'll play however I want, what business is it of yours? Besides, what kind of vast space is this? Even the chessboard over there has been painted over. You guys weren't this stupid before. Which brain-dead piece of trash taught you this new way of playing?"

"That young man has a much broader perspective than you, you piece of trash! You couldn't just repaint it over here? Playing chess so rigidly, do you even know how to play?"

"So, is it a chess game or a painting contest?"

"You call yourself Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting Sect, and painting? We're not afraid to compete with you in painting, but you're scared? Look at my lips: Trash."

The chess fanatic was furious and got into a fight with the Chess Watcher.

The Tai Huang Jun playing chess opposite sighed, "Brother Qi Wu is still the most capable. In my opinion, your Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting Sect should accept disciples with quick minds and broad vision like him. Don't accept those good-for-nothings who cause trouble all day and are wanted by the Witch God Sect. Those kinds of disciples are not worth accepting."

The chess fanatic roared, "Even if I die here, even if I jump off this mountain, I will never accept someone who scribbles on chessboards and pieces as my disciple!"

"Boom!" The energies from the fight collided, startling a nearby duck into taking flight. "Quack! Quack!"

The Cloud Wanderer Peak was in complete chaos.

Another old Daoist priest tenderly picked up the duck and rushed over to separate the two fighting men. "Hey, hey, stop fighting! There's a formidable enemy outside..."

The chess fanatic retorted angrily, "You ride a duck around the city all day long, how dare you call yourself Cloud Wanderer? Your Daoist name should clearly be 'Riding a Duck'!"

"A skinny guy in the mortal world can be called Iron Ox, so why can't I be called Cloud Wanderer riding a duck? You guys are just adding all sorts of rules and regulations to yourselves, pretending to be immortals. You're all incredibly stupid."

The chess fanatic, looking constipated, exclaimed, "Get lost! You guys are cultivating immortality too!"

"How can this not be cultivating immortality? Someone like you, always with a gloomy face, scheming and plotting, is that what you call cultivating immortality?"

"Without my scheming, you would all be dead by now!"

"Even a dead cultivator is still a cultivator. If you can't transcend life and death, and can't comprehend the formless, then you're not a true cultivator."

The chess fanatic was furious. "Your sister's life or death! If I ever come to your Land of Chaos again, I won't be called a chess fanatic, I'll be called an idiot!"

"You said that a thousand years ago." Tai Huang Jun patted his shoulder admiringly. "You really went to great lengths to earn the title of idiot."

Chess fanatic. "..."

"Let's get serious," Cloud Wanderer said, tucking his sleeves in. "Our Thousand Mountains Alliance can afford to close its doors and stay in seclusion, but what about Xuan Hao going around bullying Rogue Cultivator right now?"

The chess fanatic said calmly, "Wait."

"Wait for what?"

"Wait until others can't stand it anymore."

Cloud Wanderer jumped up. "When will we ever see that?"

The chess fanatic said leisurely, "If sects are bullying Rogue Cultivator, wouldn't other Rogue Cultivator be afraid that this guy will bully them after he reaches the Great Accomplishment of Qian Yuan? It's practically inevitable. And then... the current Young Master of the Myriad Images of the Universe had a life-or-death feud with Xuan Hao. Xuan Hao's current hasty actions also put pressure on him. As long as you hold your ground, Xuan Hao will be defeated on his own."

Cloud Wanderer frowned and said, "So we're just going to sit Rogue Cultivator outside be humiliated?"

The chess fanatic said calmly, "These are Discarded Piece. Without these Discarded Piece, how could we incite the other Rogue Cultivator to join the fray?"

"Is this chess calculation?"

"That's chess strategy."

Cloud Wanderer said speechlessly, "Then what's the meaning of you staying here? According to your logic, you calculated the approximate date of Xuan Hao's exit from seclusion, so it would be fine to come and give him a warning, but instead you're lingering here?"

"To prevent the Discarded Piece from becoming so ruthless, we need other variables," the chess fanatic said. "Don't call me ruthless; I don't want to see this situation either, so I came here to wait for that variable."

"What variables?"

"I have a dear junior disciple, a very well-behaved one. He disappeared a few years ago, and we couldn't find him anywhere. We even searched the Netherworld Realm, but there was no trace of him. He's most likely hiding in the Land of Chaos. He also has a grudge against Xuan Hao. I only started paying attention to things here because he reminded me via his flying message. Xuan Hao is making such big moves now, I don't believe he wouldn't have noticed. He'll definitely cause trouble for Xuan Hao."

"... Your very obedient, dear junior nephew, is that the one wanted by the Witch God Sect?"

"Of course, he's much better than your young talents who are just playing chess pieces."

"Okay, so he's the kind of troublemaker who might actually cause trouble... You're just waiting for him?" Cloud Wanderer said speechlessly, "But you don't even know where he is, and the roads outside are blocked. Even if he comes, how will you contact him?"

"Why bother contacting him... Xuan Hao has been standing at the door like a fool for days. Has he really covered his own backside properly?" The chess fanatic sat down, leisurely picked up a white piece, and placed it back on the third position. "When we see Xuan Hao looking like his backside is on fire, that's when we'll come out of the mountains."
