Chess Dao Entered Sainthood, Yanluo Unleashed

"The Spear Dao, could it be Lin Sheng?"

That is the Origin True Meaning of the Spear Dao.

The sudden burst of powerful Spear Intent caused everyone on the Meditation Cushion to open their eyes and look in surprise.

Even though the Dao Domain enveloped it, isolating it from some external interference, the Spear Intent that reached the very essence of the Dao Domain Origin True Meaning still managed to overcome the barrier and awaken many people who were completely immersed in their comprehension.

On one of the Meditation Cushion, a figure was suspended in mid-air, holding a jet-black divine spear with a dazzling Silver Light at the tip.

In the Void behind it, a spear shaft faintly condensed, reaching to the heavens, giving the feeling that Heaven and Earth had coalesced into a spear.

The spear, the ancestor of all weapons, is invincible!

Everyone felt a dazzling sharpness emanating from the other, as well as a calmness as the ocean, both domineering and sharp, yet not frivolous or arrogant.

"He actually condensed the Origin True Meaning; I don't think he's been here long."

"Lin Sheng's Heavenly Talent is also extremely high. When he first came here, he already had Heaven Grade Dao Heart, and he has stayed here for ten thousand years."

"To have comprehended the Spear Dao of the Ten Thousand Battles Immortal Art to this extent, according to Old Wang, if one were to become True Immortal, one would be among the elite of their realm, capable of taking on a hundred opponents single-handedly!"

The crowd stared at the tall and upright Lin Sheng with complex expressions.

After Herding Saint and Bright Saint, the third person capable of challenging the True Venerable Tower has finally appeared, but it is not themselves, which inevitably makes them feel somewhat lonely and bitter.

Lin Sheng appeared as a young man, dressed in black, with an extremely cold and handsome appearance. He had heterochromatic Double Pupils, which were dark purple and black. He was born amidst a Prodigy phenomenon and was a prodigy from a young age. He accidentally fell to this place and disappeared from the Heavenly Realms.

He slowly opened his eyes, his Aura returned to normal, and the sharp Spear Intent around him dissipated.

Sensing the gazes of the crowd, he remained calm and composed, slowly descending onto the Meditation Cushion and putting away the Dao Tribulation Emperor Weapon in his hand.

Then, he glanced into the distance and saw the boy in front of the Dwelling, who also turned to look in his direction. Their eyes met.

Lin Sheng's eyes were calm, and he nodded slightly, almost imperceptibly, as if to say hello.

This sudden realization was partly due to the stimulation from that boy, but the other boy seemed to have chosen to take a shortcut.

He could understand. After all, although the other party had a very high Dao Heart and cultivation aptitude are two different things. In addition, he arrived late. If he wanted to catch up with others, the best way was to take a shortcut.

Unfortunately, that road is blocked.

"Congratulations Lin Sheng! You've entered the second stage of the trial and are now able to challenge the True Venerable Tower!"

The other Sage nearby offered their congratulations.

Although she felt a sense of urgency inside, she maintained a friendly demeanor on the surface.

Lin Sheng nodded slightly, then met the gazes of two people, namely Bright Saint and Herding Saint.

The two nodded slightly to Lin Sheng, their expressions revealing neither joy nor anger; the nod served as their congratulations and blessings.

The two then exchanged a glance, looked away, and continued to sit cross-legged, closing their eyes to meditate.

Lin Sheng vaguely sensed that, unlike before, he seemed to have come into the sight of these two.

A slight upturn at the corners of his mouth gave him a surge of exhilarating energy.

He had been cultivating for a shorter time than them, but he felt that he might rise to prominence and surpass them.

He turned and walked towards the Dwelling.

Standing in front of the Dwelling, Li Hao had already withdrawn his gaze, picked up his thoughts, and pondered once again the Flash of Insight he had caught while defusing the bomb.

Old Wang Li Hao still pondering the chess game, Wang Lao couldn't help but chuckle. He didn't disturb Li Hao, but instead smiled at Lin Sheng who was approaching, and said:

"Good, good, keep up the good work and strive to surpass them."

A slight smile melted across Lin Sheng's cold face, which had been as impassive as a glacier. He bowed slightly and said, "Old Wang, I have fully comprehended the Myriad Battles Perfection Ten Thousand Battles Immortal Art and wish to proceed to the second trial."

"Okay, go ahead."

Old Wang smiled and nodded in agreement, but did not allow him to demonstrate.

He had already discerned from the imposing aura just now that the opponent had cultivated the Spear Dao technique of the Ten Thousand Battles Immortal Art to Perfection.

Upon hearing this, Lin Sheng's gaze sharpened, and he saw the boy sitting on a small wooden stool beside him, deep in thought, staring at the Go Board. The boy seemed to recognize Lin Sheng's arrival.

They seemed completely unaware.

His eyes were indifferent; he said nothing, turned, and left.

Before leaving the Dwelling, he went straight to challenge the True Venerable Tower.

His actions naturally attracted the attention of some Sage, and someone immediately brought out incense to calculate the time.

Before long, Lin Sheng's figure emerged from the Black Tower, and only one-tenth of the Incense had burned.

Nevertheless, it drew slightly surprised glances from many people.

"It took a little longer than the first challenge between Herding Saint and Bright Saint."

"It seems Lin Sheng has a strong fighting spirit; he might be able to catch up with Herding Saint and Bright Saint in this second trial."

"His Master was the Spear Saint, but he has already Spear Saint his Master here."

The crowd watched with complex expressions. Lin Sheng's progress was too fast, giving them a strong sense of urgency.

Many people lost interest in discussing it further and instead lowered their heads, closed their eyes, and pondered deeply.

Flower Saint and Wandering Saint exchanged a glance, both feeling a bit of pressure. They looked towards the Dwelling and saw that Li Hao still had only his back to them, as usual, still struggling with the Go Board.

The two sighed inwardly, closed their eyes, and began to ponder the matter on their own.

Old Wang saw that everyone at the Meditation Cushion had quieted down, a smile appeared on his lips. He could sense that the little ones were getting a little anxious.

His gaze returned to the Go Board in front of him, only to see Li Hao deep in thought, lifting a piece and placing it down.

"You're quite composed."

Old Wang chuckled lightly, casually fiddling with his pieces, about to block Li Hao's move, when suddenly he let out a soft sound and stared intently at Li Hao's next move.

His eyes flickered slightly as he stared at the spot where the piece had been placed. It seemed to have deliberately crossed into his formation, essentially gifting him a piece.

The gift wasn't obvious, but given his skill level, it would have been quite clear.

He could tell it was a gift of a child, but he also vaguely sensed that it was a deliberate act.

If he makes a move to capture the piece, that delayed move will give Li Hao a slight buffer on the other side of the game. If his opponent can seize that opportunity, it might create a hole in Li Hao's position.

But can this little guy tell?

Old Wang Lao hesitated for a moment, then decided to eat it. He then looked at Li Hao with a faint smile and said:

"You practically gave this to me for free."

"Um."

The boy didn't even look up, just gave a soft "hmm," and then quickly grabbed the weapon and brought it down.

The piece landed precisely at the same spot that Old Wang had just gambled on. When he heard Li Hao's "hmm," his heart skipped a beat. When he saw Li Hao's move, he immediately realized that Li Hao had indeed placed that piece intentionally, but this was inconsistent with the kid's previous composed playing style.

The opponent has changed their playing style.

"You little rascal, you're setting a trap for me!"

Old Wang couldn't help but say.

Li Hao raised his head slightly, smiled, and said, "This requires your cooperation to be considered a trap; otherwise, it's just a useless move."

Upon hearing this, Old Wang rolled his eyes in annoyance, looking at the smug look on the man's face.

"This move can't reverse the Heaven and Earth; the outcome is still uncertain. Although your move has created a hole, this side is now doomed!"

As he spoke, he took a step forward and landed on Li Hao's chest, Heaven and Earth the Black Stone against the boundary line as if to seal off a small dragon formation on Li Hao's side.

With a smile on his face, as if he had expected it, Li Hao continued to place his pieces, tearing open Old Wang's hole.

In a series of steps, Li Hao's small dragon formation was completely destroyed, and Old Wang's Heaven and Earth Chess Formation was also breached.

This was completely different from Li Hao's previous steady and conservative approach. Old Wang raised an eyebrow slightly. At this moment, Li Hao's chess style had become fierce and sharp, like a sword drawn from its sheath, preferring to shatter like jade rather than survive like a broken tile!

Old Wang will choose to retreat and defend; otherwise, their favorable situation will be lost.

But Li Hao launched a relentless attack, abandoning all the other chess formations he had previously used and pressing forward relentlessly.

Old Wang's expression turned serious. He parried and defended, step by step, but as Li Hao made his move, he vaguely sensed something was wrong. The chess formations that Li Hao had abandoned were all connected together as he launched his fierce attack!

In an instant, it was like being besieged on all sides; a wide, narrow Great Dao had become a drafty, open road!

Old Wang fell into deep thought.

Li Hao, on the other hand, had some free time. After seeing Wang Lai pondering for a long time without making a move, he went to the side to make tea and drink it.

After finishing three cups of tea, and before his opponent had made a move, Li Hao walked with his hands behind his back to the field, admiring the few Immortal Herb he had cultivated earlier, which were growing very well.

As the sun set and the evening glow shone brightly, Li Hao returned to the Go Board. Looking at him, who had snapped out of his reverie, Li Hao rolled his eyes at him, then placed a piece and said:

"You little brat, I'm too lazy to argue this round anymore, just consider it a win!"

As he spoke, Li Hao placed a piece, then quickly sat down on the small Wooden Stake and placed his own piece.

After both sides exchanged several moves, Li Hao made no mistakes, Old Wang sighed helplessly, resigning with a piece.

Li Hao counted; although he won, he only won by half a point.

Old Wang had already foreseen this, and in terms of chess skill, he was far superior to him.

He only managed to seize a sliver of an opportunity through a momentary realization, and Old Wang happened to gamble on that opportunity with him.

As the game ended, Li Hao's mind went blank for a moment, and a prompt popped up in front of him.

[You have grasped the Dao Heart Realm the game: Transcending Mortality and Entering Sainthood]

After three years of Chess, he had already accumulated enough experience to reach the Ninth Dan Chess Dao.

Now, a flood of information is pouring in, all about someone breaking through the Ninth Dan Chess Dao level in Go and leaping to the Tenth Dan!

Ninth Dan to Entering the Dao, Tenth Dan to Path of Sacrifice, touching the True Intention of the Great Dao!

Li Hao had previously treated one Chess Piece as another.

However, the game later changed, treating a group of Chess Piece as a single Chess Piece.

On the Go Board, there are only Chess Piece, representing the return to simplicity after experiencing various chess moves, like seeing through all the splendor.

It can be like seeing a mountain as a mountain, seeing a mountain as not a mountain, and then seeing a mountain as a mountain again.

Since it is Chess Piece, it can be "sacrificed," or rather, it cannot be considered a sacrifice, because sacrificing is also a move!

When you utilize it to its fullest potential, that is chess.

If it serves no purpose, then it's a useless move.

With the breakthrough in Chess Dao, Li Hao attained Transcending Mortality and Entering Sainthood Dao Heart Realm, which meant he could elevate a combat skill to the Tenth Dan.

Li Hao incorporated the Tenth Dan Transcending Mortality and Entering Sainthood State of Mind of the three Path of Cooking, Painting Dao, Path of Carving— into the Path of the Physical Body, Imperial Dao, and Sword Dao, respectively.

Now that Li Hao Sage Entry Chess Dao, State of Mind plans to integrate it into his Movement Method.

In this way, his Ninth Dan Movement Method can also be upgraded to the Tenth Dan, Path of Sacrifice!

Among Heavenly Realms, very few people use their Movement Method to Path of Sacrifice the Dao; Li Hao only knew of Old Feng.

Although Li Hao learned boxing first and then Movement Method techniques are now more important than Path of the Fist.

Previously, when fighting against the Primal Chaos Saint, Li Hao suffered from his weak Movement Method and could only barely survive by relying on his Extreme Realm state to hold his ground.

If one reaches the Tenth Dan of the Body Movement Dao, then one's Movement Method alone would be enough to place one among the top-tier among All Heavens Saints.

If combined with the Extreme Realm, the speed will be even faster, and one will definitely be among the top in the same realm.

However, Li Hao was not in a hurry to integrate the upgrade.

"Old Wang, if one experiences a sudden enlightenment during the True Venerable Tower challenge, will the reflected image also receive a corresponding upgrade?"

Li Hao inquired.

Old Wang was carefully selecting and wiping the Chess Piece on the Go Board, clearly intending to play another game. When Li Hao asked him a question, he casually replied:

"Of course not. The projection of the True Venerable Tower takes place before your challenge. If you have an epiphany during the challenge, that's considered quick thinking in battle."

This is also a method using the True Venerable Tower.

He looked up at Li Hao and said, "But don't even think about trying to comprehend something halfway and then challenge it at the critical moment. Once the True Venerable Tower challenge begins, it's hard to give you any breathing room. The projected version of you has a very strong desire to attack and won't waste a single word on you."

Li Hao understood that sudden enlightenment during battle is extremely rare. It often happens at lower levels because of the accumulation of knowledge and experience, but at higher levels, it is extremely difficult to accumulate enough knowledge to achieve sudden enlightenment, so such things are extremely rare.

"I can give it a try."

Li Hao said.

For others, breaking through bottlenecks and taking on challenges is difficult, but for him, it's easy.

Moreover, this seems to be a loophole in the True Venerable Tower challenge?

"You want to try?"

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, Old Wang paused for a moment, then said irritably, "You brat, even if you win my game, I won't make an exception for you. You must first cultivate either the Yama Immortal Technique or the Ten Thousand Battles Immortal Art to Perfection."

"I have already grasped some of the Yama Immortal Technique."

Li Hao said.

"Come on."

Old Wang rolled his eyes slightly and said, "Although your Primordial Spirit is very strong, surpassing other Sage, and cultivation should be very easy for you, you haven't cultivated at all."

Li Hao was speechless, and immediately activated the three battle techniques of the Yama Immortal Technique.

This was indeed the first time he had used it. Although he had grasped the concept before and had years of experience in using it in his mind, he had never actually used it before.

At this moment, I haven't felt rusty at all.

As his Primordial Spirit rotated, dark flames seemed to ignite on Li Hao's body.

Li Hao's Primordial Spirit soared out from this Ninth Grade Mixed Origin God Blood body. The Primordial Spirit was covered by pitch-black flames, exuding murderous intent and Destruction Aura like an Asura. Behind Li Hao's Primordial Spirit, the flames also faintly outlined a ferocious shadow, as if a demon was standing behind him.

This is precisely the Yanluo Outer Image Battle Technique.

"Um?"

Upon seeing this scene, Old Wang was deeply moved.

That Yanluo Outer Image, like a demon Descent, exuded terrifying murderous intent. It was indeed the Yanluo Outer Image Battle Technique, and at the level of Perfection True Intention!

At this moment, Li Hao was also carefully feeling the power brought by this battle technique. Originally, when he fought against the Ancient Demon, he only used his Primordial Spirit to fight against the Primordial Spirit battle technique he had comprehended, which was extremely rudimentary. But this Yanluo Outer Image Battle Technique was different. It was not only a celestial-grade battle technique, but also an extremely profound one.

Although he currently only possesses the Yanluo First Layer: Withering Silence, and this Yanluo Outer Image is one of the three combat techniques contained within Withered Silence, Li Hao has already sensed that if he were to fight the Primordial Spirit of that True Immortal Realm Ancient Demon again, he wouldn't even need to burn his Divine Meridian to kill it!

As the Black Flame gathered, a black Yan Blade slowly materialized in Li Hao's Primordial Spirit palm!

This blade is formed from the Yan Power, and it can cause extremely terrible damage to the Primordial Spirit!

The next moment, Li Hao's Primordial Spirit raised his hand, and the Black Flame contracted, forming a six-sided earth shield around his body, moving at his will.

This Di Luo Shield Technique can block the killing moves of the True Immortal Realm Primordial Spirit.

As Li Hao used these techniques, he carefully savored and felt them. Unlike the familiar experience that only existed in his mind before, he could only truly feel how powerful these three combat techniques were by using them in person.

If he were to encounter True Immortal Realm Ancient Demon again, he could even swiftly and instantly kill it!

After all, the Sword Dao of those Myriad Dao Immortal Art had reached the level of True Intention Perfection. Even with Incomplete Immortal Weapon in his hand, combined with the power of the Sword Dao,

Its sharpness will increase several levels, enough for him to quickly kill the physical body of True Immortal Ancient Demon, and then swiftly obliterate its Primordial Spirit with the Yan Blade!
