Chess Realm, all things as soldiers, Heaven and Earth as a game

At that moment, even the surrounding wind seemed to fall into a brief silence.

Gazing at the Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus before her, Su Wanqing froze in place upon hearing the young man's words.

The boy's handsome face gazed at her quietly, his eyes clear and deep, without a trace of impurity.

A unique fragrance emanated from the Immortal Osmanthus, actively seeking out her snow-white nose and permeating her body in every pore, creating a sensation that made her whole body involuntarily breathe in it.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she whispered, "For me?"

She clearly hadn't expected that Li Hao was serious and would actually give her the Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus that he had painstakingly picked, especially in front of her sister, Su Muqing.

She suddenly realized something and turned to look at Su Muqing beside her.

The coldness on Su Muqing's face Solidification the moment Li Hao stepped past her to hand her the flowers.

She turned her head, her gaze lingering for a moment on the Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus in front of Su Wanqing, before raising her head and fixing her icy gaze on Li Hao:

"What do you mean?"

"Um?"

Li Hao looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Are you deliberately trying to annoy me?

Su Muqing's face was gloomy, and her eyes held a hint of anger.

Li Hao frowned, then calmly said, "You already have it, giving it to you would be redundant. Wanqing likes it, is there a problem with giving it to her?"

"You!"

Su Muqing clenched her fists around the fairy dress, her heart filled with anger, but seeing the young man's calm demeanor, her Anger suddenly subsided.

It's clearly the other person trying to please me, being unreasonable and clingy; I shouldn't be the one getting angry.

These are just some petty tricks. Do you really think you can anger her and get her attention like that?

Su Muqing suddenly sneered, looking at Li Hao mockingly, and said, "You have such Heavenly Talent for cultivation, yet Heavenly General on these trivial matters, trying to gain my attention. If you could calm down and cultivate properly, why would you need to rely on the Su Clan?"

Li Hao was stunned, unsure of what she was thinking, but clearly she had misunderstood again.

However, after thinking about it, he didn't explain. When prejudice stands before you, even the truth will be labeled as sophistry.

Beside her, Su Wanqing snapped out of her daze and quickly transmitted her voice to Li Hao:

"Haotian, don't make your sister angry. This method won't work. You should quickly give her the Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus. I know her; the fact that she's saying this means she's bothered by it. You've worked so hard for so long; don't let it all go to waste."

Seeing that she was still trying to comfort Su Muqing through telepathy, Li Hao shook his head slightly and said, "Giving it to her would just get it thrown away. Don't overthink it. Since it was said to be picked for you, it's a gift for you. There's no other reason."

After saying that, he handed the Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus to her.

His words, spoken without being transmitted, reached Su Muqing's ears directly, causing her expression to turn even colder.

"Snort!"

Su Muqing gave Li Hao a deep look, then turned her gaze to Su Wanqing. Only then did the coldness in her eyes dissipate as she said:

"Since he picked it for you, just accept it. I won't be angry."

Su Wanqing smiled wryly and said, "Sister, you should keep it. Haotian was just saying that out of anger."

"I have."

Su Muqing sneered slightly and said, "Even if he gave it to me, I would crush it like mud. Whatever I, Su Muqing, want, I can obtain with my own hands, unlike Dao Heart fellows who just wait to reap the rewards without any ambition. They are not even as good as the servants of my Su Clan."

As she spoke, she turned away, seemingly shutting out the area.

Su Wanxue frowned at Li Hao and transmitted her voice, "Wanqing simple-minded, don't take advantage of her. You and Muqing should resolve your own issues."

Li Hao turned his head and saw that it was Su Wanxue. He frowned slightly and said indifferently, "You're overthinking it."

Seeing that Li Hao wouldn't admit it, Su Wanxue didn't say anything more. If it happened again, she would stop him.

At this moment, Jiang Huanhuan had been helped over by the Jiang Family members, her pretty face deathly pale.

Before she fell into the water, she saw Li Hao pick the Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus. Now, seeing it in Su Wanqing's hand, she couldn't help but look at Li Hao and say:

"How... how did you break through that Sword Intent?"

Compared to the Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus, she was more concerned about why Li Hao could block the Sword Intent that she herself couldn't.

Could it be that this painter, who is First Level of Immortal Lord Realm, has Sword Dao that surpasses mine?

"Use sword to break sword."

Li Hao simply replied with four words.

Jiang Huanhuan was stunned. A sword against a sword? A sword against a sword... She suddenly laughed. What a simple sword against a sword! So simple? So domineering?!

"Your Sword Dao..."

Jiang Huanhuan suppressed her bitter smile and stared intently at Li Hao.

Li Hao didn't speak, but his gaze naturally fell on Su Muqing's face again, his thoughts drifting away.

Seeing this, Jiang Huanhuan glanced at Su Muqing and suddenly felt a little envious of her.

She had never envied Su Muqing and the Emperor Son of the Lin Clan when she knew they were childhood sweethearts, but now, seeing even Prodigy like Li Hao revolving around her so devotedly, she truly felt a bit envious.

"Muqing, cherish it."

Jiang Huanhuan said something and turned to leave.

Su Muqing was slightly taken aback. When she noticed Li Hao's gaze, she immediately understood Jiang Huanhuan's meaning, and her face darkened.

At this time, the others also picked the Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus and returned, and all six Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus were picked clean.

"Congratulations on successfully obtaining the Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus. This Immortal Osmanthus buds every nine thousand years and blooms every ten thousand years. You are all truly fortunate."

With a smile on his face, the Immortal King Tan said softly, "This Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus is said to be 100,000 years old, and this is its tenth bloom. Although it doesn't possess extraordinary effects like other rare medicinal herbs, it symbolizes Eternity and waiting! I also hope that you all will have an Eternal Dao Heart on your cultivation path, as well as the will to endure the passage of Years. I believe that one day, you will all be able to wait for your own bloom and stand at the pinnacle of the True Realm!"

Eternity... waiting... Li Hao looked up, his eyes flickering slightly. He couldn't help but think of Shi Miao, the soul that had traveled through Time and Space.

Though it was just a few words, is she already waiting Eternity in the Future?

He suddenly felt a strange, inexplicable pang in his heart, as if some invisible, intangible shackle of Destiny had tightened at that moment.

"Let's conclude this Sword Pool Victory with the title of 'Sword Pool Champion'."

Immortal King Tan waved his hand, his voice echoing throughout the entire arena.

Everyone rose from their Meditation Cushion and bowed to the Immortal King in gratitude.

The sons of the Jiang, Su, and Lin families also stood up. Although they came from prominent families, they still observed the proper etiquette.

After the Sword Pool Victory competition concluded, while other Aristocratic Clan were still chatting and trying to establish diplomatic relations, Su Muqing took to the air and flew back to the Su Clan.

Seeing this, Li Hao quickly followed, but Su Muqing was not traveling with Su Wanqing and the others this time, and her Movement Method were extremely fast. Li Hao could only chase after her with all his might to avoid being left behind.

Soon, the two returned to the Su Clan's Immortal's Abode Courtyard.

Su Muqing had calmed down by now, but she was secretly surprised. She had tried to shake off Li Hao, but she couldn't.

Although Li Hao couldn't keep up, the Aura remained firmly locked on, making it impossible to completely shake off, which was rather frightening.

"This guy..."

Su Muqing's cold eyes revealed a solemn expression. She paused briefly in the courtyard, and a figure instantly appeared—it was Li Hao.

"What are you doing following me? Go to Wanqing's Clear Lake Courtyard."

Su Muqing said coldly.

Seeing the barb in his words, Li Hao sat down on Sculpting chair outside the main hall and said, "I came to the Su Clan for you."

"For me?"

Su Muqing sneered, wanting to say that since you did this for me, you even gave the Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus to Sister Wanqing? But the words caught in her throat, and she suddenly realized that it was wrong. Wouldn't saying that mean she cared a lot about that thing?

Hmph, I wouldn't care about that kind of junk. Besides, I have such a good relationship with Wanqing, and I should be happy for her now that Wanqing has it, even if it was given to me by a scoundrel. It's still a good thing.

"Stop with these petty tricks; they're utterly meaningless!"

Su Muqing snorted coldly, uttered a single sentence, and stepped into the hall. With a bang, the hall doors slammed shut.

The servants, including Nanny Wu, were used to this scene; their young mistress never gave this young master Haotian a kind look.

However, what puzzled them was why this Young Master Haotian was so persistent, merely coveting the power and resources of the Su Clan? Wasn't he afraid of the Lin Clan's Emperor Son?

Shaking her head, Nanny Wu and the others didn't think about it anymore; this wasn't something they, as servants, should worry about.

The courtyard returned to its usual tranquility, with only the sound of Qing Feng rustling through the Falling Leaves and the occasional whisper of a maidservant using Immortal Arts to stir up the withered leaves on the ground.

These leaves, withered and dried out, are as brittle as paper, making a cracking sound.

Li Hao also regained his composure, knowing that Su Muqing would not be able to open the palace gates without Su Wanqing's arrival. So he could only silently play Chess, trying to grasp the glimmer of Flash of Insight he had previously gleaned.

He has been in the Northern Region for six years without realizing it.

Li Hao didn't know how the Southern Region was doing now, how Gu Yan, Yue Xi, and the Dream Master were faring, or even about Old Feng and the others who had followed him to the True Realm.

However, during the battle in the Southern Region, he rose to possess the Dao Source Immortal Seal, a rare feat in the world, which can be described as stepping into the Peak True Immortal. But at that moment, he also experienced an unprecedented sense of weakness.

His strength is still too weak, far from enough.

Life is like a game of chess; all beings make their moves.

Li Hao gazed at the Go Board, a rare hint of vicissitude appearing in his eyes, as if the Years had etched themselves into the boy's clean gaze.

On the Go Board, the White Stone are interlocked, each forming a checkmate formation.

The fighting formations gradually erode each other, serving as both offense and defense.

What is the Chess Dao?

Deduction, planning, utilization, hidden agents...

But any layout will leave traces.

As long as it's a deduction, there will be a path.

The Chess Dao True Meaning...

Li Hao's eyes showed contemplation as he immersed himself in reflection.

Meanwhile, after winning the Sword Pool Victory, news about Li Hao spread like wildfire throughout the entire Gusu Emperor Star.

In an instant, all Thirty-Six Thousand Immortal Cities on Gusu Emperor Star knew that a Heavenly Prodigy genius had emerged from the Northern Region's Human Race. He had only a hundred years of Soul Lifespan, yet he had reached the First Level of Immortal Lord Realm and defeated all those invincible at the same level!

The name "Haotian" spread like wildfire across the entire Emperor Star, and there were even signs of it spreading outwards.

The Northern Region is severely lacking in Heavenly Prodigy. The harsh living environment here dictates that the Northern Region places great importance on Heavenly Prodigy, and the Immortal Deity who have lived here for a long time are stronger and more valiant in battle than those in other regions!

"A hundred years of Soul Lifespan, and only at the First Level of Immortal Lord Realm? Can't you even make up a story?"

You actually believe that?

"Shh, are you looking for death? This is news circulating within the Kong Family, how could it be false?"

"That's right, I heard many people saw it. That young man defeated the Heavenly Prodigy of various Aristocratic Clan with a single sword strike, and it seems he has some connection with Su Muqing, the Su Clan's True Phoenix."

"I know about this. I heard he lives in the Su Clan and is a son-in-law who married into the Su Clan!"

"How could that be? Does the Su Clan intend to break off the engagement with the Lin Clan? Would the Lin Clan's Emperor Son tolerate that?"

"Who knows? Anyway, my friend saw Haotian going in and out of the Su Clan's gate."

The news spread like wildfire, and naturally it reached the Lin Clan as well.

Deep within the Lin Clan compound, in a courtyard.

"The young master isn't cultivating here?"

The person who came to deliver the message was a Heavenly Prodigy from the Lin Clan, who intended to personally inform his cousin about the matter.

However, the courtyard was empty, except for the Steward who had served Lin Zhixuan since childhood.

"Young Master has gone to the Ancestral Land to cultivate."

The Steward said respectfully.

"Ancestral Land?"

The Lin Clan Heavenly Prodigy was stunned, then his eyes lit up with joy, and he said, "Could it be that Brother Zhe is about to break through?"

His figure flickered and disappeared from the courtyard, and soon after, he appeared outside the Lin family's ancestral land.

His status was inferior to Lin Zhixuan's, so he could not freely enter and leave this place and could only wait for notification outside the Ancestral Land.

He quickly gained permission from the elderly Lin Clan elder who was guarding the area before he was allowed to enter the Ancestral Land.

Not far from the Ancestral Land, he saw a small mound, like a tomb, on which sat a young man of extraordinary bearing, with the Xingchen in the sky seemingly reaching out to him.

"Brother Zhixuan!"

The Lin Clan Heavenly Prodigy approached and called out cautiously.

Lin Zhixuan slowly opened his eyes, saw that it was his cousin from the same clan, and frowned, saying:

What brings you here?

"Brother Zhixuan, rumors are flying everywhere that a guy who reached the First Level of Immortal Lord Realm with Soul Lifespan of only a hundred years has proposed marriage to the Su Clan, asking to marry Muqing. I've investigated, and this news... is actually true!"

The Lin Clan Heavenly Prodigy hurriedly said.

Lin Zhixuan frowned, suddenly recalling the news he had heard several years ago when he was about to go into Seclusion. Years Past, and the news still hadn't died down?

"A hundred years of Soul Lifespan, First Level of Immortal Lord Realm?"

Lin Zhixuan raised an eyebrow, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"That's right, someone secretly used the Soul Age Mirror to reflect it, and that's indeed the case."

The Heavenly Prodigy the Lin Clan quickly replied.

A cold glint flashed in Lin Zhixuan's eyes, his fingers clenching slightly, but he quickly relaxed his grip and said indifferently:

"Okay, you can go now. Don't bother me with these trivial matters anymore."

"A small matter?"

The Lin Clan Heavenly Prodigy froze, staring at Lin Zhixuan in astonishment. His sister-in-law was almost kidnapped; was this a small matter?

Lin Zhixuan snorted coldly, "I know Muqing's personality; she would never betray me. Besides, I'm about to break through in my cultivation; I'll handle things myself once I emerge from seclusion."

The Lin Clan Heavenly Prodigy was stunned, and couldn't help but say, "But that person's Heavenly Talent..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a Chill spread throughout his body. He saw two sharp glints flash in Lin Zhixuan's eyes, and his body exuded an aura that was extremely faint, yet clearly that of Emperor's Might!

Do you really think anyone can compare to me?

The Lin Clan Heavenly Prodigy froze, then fell silent. "Of course not..."

Go!

The Lin Clan Heavenly Prodigy immediately turned and left in a huff, not daring to stay any longer.

After the other party left, Lin Zhixuan raised his eyes and swept them over the Lin Clan elders standing at the entrance of the Ancestral Land, saying:

"Elder Xue, I'm about to go into Seclusion my cultivation barrier. I'd appreciate it if you could protect me and prevent any unauthorized individuals from disturbing me."

Sensing the burgeoning Immortal Power within Lin Zhixuan, the elder of the Lin Clan smiled slightly, "You can go into Seclusion and completely refine this Candle Dragon Immortal Power!"

Not long after Li Hao and Su Muqing returned to the Immortal's Abode Courtyard, Su Wanqing also arrived.

She was lost in thought the whole way, and after much hesitation, she decided it was best to return the item to Li Hao to avoid her sister misunderstanding.

Li Hao found the Immortal Osmanthus useless and wanted to return it, so he naturally refused to accept it. Seeing that she insisted on not taking it, he told her to just throw it away somewhere.

Hearing Li Hao's words, Su Wanqing was dumbfounded. Seeing that Li Hao had actually thrown the object away casually, she was heartbroken and quickly went forward to pick it up. She looked back at Li Hao and saw that the young man hadn't even turned his head. He was busy Sculpting wood with a knife, as if he himself was a piece of wood.

She was somewhat speechless, so she carefully put away the Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus and gently patted off the dust.

In fact, this Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus is a spiritual object after all; how could it be tainted by dust?

She looked at Li Hao again and again, and seeing that he really didn't care, she had no choice but to accept it and turn to leave.

The courtyard became quiet again.

Li Hao used the Immortal Power at his fingertips as a knife to Sculpting the wood in his hand, gradually revealing its shape and appearance, which was Ying Xiaoxiao's.

He carefully Sculpting it, then looked at it a few more times. He felt that the Path of Carving had not reached the Twelfth Stage and was far inferior to his own drawing. So he stopped Sculpting and planned to wait until the Path of Carving reached the Twelfth Stage before finishing.

Otherwise, he felt it would be a desecration if an incomplete work were produced.

He resumed playing Chess, and when he got tired or stressed, he would immerse himself in Sculpting to find an opportunity to understand the True Intention of Sculpting.

And so it goes, Years flows by.

Time passes quickly for Immortal Deity. A single meditation or Seclusion might last ten days to half a month. Some, upon reaching a bottleneck in their studies, might even seclude Seclusion for decades or even thousands of years.

Li Hao only wished that Su Muqing wouldn't Seclusion for such a long time at once. His life was down-to-earth, and every day was extremely fulfilling.

When he was hungry, he would roast Ancient Demon Meat; when he was full, he would Sculpting Chess; when he was tired, he would carve. Occasionally, he would look up to enjoy the scenery in the courtyard, but the tightly closed palace doors would always make his eyes show a hint of disappointment when he glanced at them.

While Li Hao was Chess and Sculpting, Lin Jinrou and Jiang Huanhuan would occasionally visit the Su Clan to see Li Hao.

Both of them discussed painting and Sword Dao with Li Hao. Originally, in their eyes, Li Hao was just an extremely outstanding painter, whom they respected. But now that they know that Li Hao has extremely high attainments in Sword Dao and has reached the top level of Sword Dao, in addition to the traditional respect and understanding, they also regard Li Hao as Heavenly Prodigy of the same level as them. Therefore, they also seek out Li Hao to discuss Sword Dao.

However, to the two women's surprise, when talking to Li Hao about Painting Dao, the young man spoke with great enthusiasm, but when the topic turned to Sword Dao, his passion suddenly diminished, and he appeared listless.

"Haotian the Painter, your Soul Lifespan is so short, how can you have such high attainments in both Sword Dao and Painting Dao? What Bloodline do you have?"

Lin Jinrou couldn't help but inquire about Li Hao's Bloodline. A hundred years of Soul Lifespan was something that even without eating or drinking, one could not possibly reach.

Even his own Older Brother, True Dragon that appears only once every 100,000 years in the Lin Clan, seems to be inferior to Li Hao's performance. At least when his Soul Lifespan 100 years, he is still only at the True Immortal Realm.

Li Hao smiled wryly. This was a really difficult question to answer; even if he said it, no one would believe him.

Seeing that Li Hao didn't speak, the two women realized that they had inquired into everyone's secrets and that they had been presumptuous.

As Heavenly Prodigy, everyone has their share of opportunities and secrets.

"Haotian the Painter, you can also Chess?"

"Why aren't you cultivating? Is Su Muqing in that hall? Why isn't she seeing you?"

Compared to Lin Jinrou, Jiang Huanhuan was like a curious child, bombarding Li Hao with a series of questions, leaving him unsure of which to answer.

Lin Jinrou was also full of curiosity. Every time she came, it seemed that the young man had never changed. He was still sitting here, alone with a chair and a Go Board, making moves with black and white pieces, showing his loneliness.

"Isn't your Lineage in the Northern Region? Are you all alone here?" Jiang Huanhuan asked.

Will you be lonely?

Li Hao shook his head, pointed to the Go Board, and said, "I'd rather be lonely than be boring, and what I do just happens to be very interesting."

Like Su Wanqing and the others, Jiang Huanhuan had little knowledge of Chess Dao and was not interested in it. Upon seeing this, she simply said "Oh."

Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Go Board is no longer filled with countless White Stones; there are only two Chess Piece, one black and one white.

The two pieces are placed on opposite sides of the Go Board. If you count carefully, you will find that the grid behind the two Chess Piece Balance, dividing this small Go Board into two equal All Under Heaven!

Li Hao stared silently at the Go Board, his eyes filled with thought.

The Chess Dao has already evolved into this state six months ago.

Once two pieces are placed, there is nowhere else to place them. Every move is calculated over thousands of moves, and the final result is that the pieces gradually devour and occupy each other, eventually reaching a balance.

Black Stone cannot defeat White Stone, and White Stone cannot defeat Black Stone.

Therefore, with the two pieces placed, the current Go Board position marks the end of the game.

But how can this impasse be broken?

Chess... Li Hao stared at the empty chess piece, his mind filled with countless White Stone flying like shooting stars. The images of Chess Manual and the evolution of chess moves were rapidly accumulating in his mind, but in the end, there was no solution.

Unless, there is one more point on the Go Board.

With that extra eye, victory is assured.

However, this square Go Board cannot have an extra point; it can only have one row.

"The Go Board has become a fixed place, the Chess Piece are like suicide soldiers, they have lost their meaning..."

Li Hao murmured to himself, unable to break the deadlock.

But his murmured Whispers suddenly seemed to have touched something.

The scene from the Southern Region flashed through Li Hao's mind.

He knew that he had become a figurehead in a power struggle among great figures, one side being the Supreme, and the other possibly being the Imperial Emperor of the Seven Great Ancient Immortal Dynasties, including the Emperor Chu.

But knowing it is meaningless.

Like these two pieces on Go Board, you can see his hand moving down, manipulating them; it's a kind of sorrow, a kind of despair.

Li Hao looked up and realized that the weather had turned cool and autumn had arrived.

In the courtyard, fallen Falling Leaves fluttered down from the trees and landed on the Go Board in the Qing Feng. One of them was a withered leaf, curled up.

As the branches swayed, more withered leaves fell, making the courtyard appear somewhat desolate.

The boy sat in the wind, his black hair cascading down his back, a faint sadness in his eyes...

Suddenly, the Falling Leaves drifting down in front of him caught Li Hao's eye and drew his attention.

Fallen... leaves?

Li Hao suddenly froze.

He looked up at the withered trees in the courtyard. Some of these trees were purely ornamental trees. Although they were also spiritual beings, they would shed their old leaves and sprout new branches just like ordinary plants!

Leaves growing on a tree are like entering a game of chess.

Position is predetermined, beyond our control.

But... it can be shaken by the wind and trembled by the rain, and with the Years, it can even shed itself.

Falling from the tree means losing the game of chess.

Let the wind carry me away, to some unknown place.

These Falling Leaves are like the lonely, desperate, and frail figure on the Southern Region Battlefield, where all one can see is the Supreme figure that blots out the sky, enveloping Heaven and Earth.

But life can Mastery, death cannot!

The true meaning of the game of chess is actually the reversal of black and white, the transformation of life and death, and the alternation of Time and Space...

This is the real "game".

Unnatural development.

In an instant, Li Hao felt goosebumps rise all over his body, and he felt a sense of clarity, from head to toe, his whole body felt clear and enlightened.

A force emanated from his body and spread outwards in all directions; this was the Chess Realm.

Within the Chess Realm, everything is Chess Piece.

As Li Hao made his move, the area within three zhang around him was enveloped by the chessboard, and was completely under his Mastery.

The breeze and sand inside are also pieces he Mastery in his hands!

In the Chess Realm... All Things is a move, All Things is a pawn!

Li Hao Whispers, and golden light shone from the sand and gravel three zhang around him. In the transformation of the Origin Principle of Chess Dao, those grains of sand turned into divine dust, bursting out with golden immortal light and exuding an extremely sharp aura.

Li Hao could sense that these grains of sand could unleash destructive power comparable to that of Immortal Weapon!

This is the special power of Chess Dao Twelfth Stage: within the Chess Realm, All Things becomes a weapon!

[Chess Dao: Twelfth Stage]

[Understanding the Chess Heart: The Chess Dao True Meaning]

A prompt appeared before his eyes, but Li Hao's mind was no longer on it; a surge of insights into the Chess Dao welled up in his mind.

He absorbed everything greedily, like a sponge. This understanding of the Chess Dao not only included insights into the Chess Dao, but also encompassed other Great Dao Origin, such as life and death, light and darkness, Time and Space, and so on.

Li Hao never expected that he could gain insights into the Time Origin from the Chess Dao. His understanding of Time Origin was slowly improving, gradually climbing from the Origin Fourth Level to the peak of the Origin Fourth Level...

"Um?"

Inside the Palace Hall, Su Muqing, who was sitting on the cultivation stone, suddenly sensed a special fluctuation of Origin and couldn't help but open her eyes.

She immediately released her Divine Sense to sense it, but the strange fluctuations of its Origin quickly disappeared. She only saw that in the Outer Institute, the young man was still sitting there as he had been for two years, without any change.

However, the opponent was not Chess at this moment. Instead, he closed his eyes, and his body was shrouded in Dao Domain.

Within that Dao Domain, there seemed to be another Principle Domain, similar to the Painting Realm that Li Hao had previously revealed.

Su Muqing frowned slightly. If she wanted to investigate, she would have to break into the other party's Dao Domain, which would also alert Li Hao.

Hmph, what do I care what you do?

Su Muqing snorted coldly, withdrew her Divine Sense, and stopped investigating.

In the Chess Realm, Li Hao closed his eyes and slowly absorbed the insights of the Time Origin. Before long, his Time Origin broke through the peak of the Fourth Layer and reached the Origin Fifth Level.

My understanding of time has reached a new level.

In addition to the Time Origin, I am also constantly absorbing and digesting insights into the Space Origin.

With the absorption of numerous Great Dao Origin, Li Hao's combat power quietly and imperceptibly rose to a new level.

His mind gradually became immersed in the insights of the Chess Dao, and countless Chess Manual and strategies intertwined before his eyes.

Those moves, life and death turns, dead pieces come back to life, and life turns to death, many of them were moves that could be called divine moves, enough to easily overturn most of the games he had played before.

Only by putting ourselves in a desperate situation can we survive!

Chess is a game of strategy, and setting up a game involves not only your own Chess Piece but also the opponent's Chess Piece, which are also part of the strategy.

Therefore, All Things is an enemy, and everything is one's own enemy!

"That chess move..."

As Li Hao sensed the ever-changing moves in the game, a sudden, terrifying thought struck him.

Othello and Rei, combined into one game.

A game of chess can be a game of strategy, and one can also be a piece in it, thus creating a game of strategy within oneself!

"If I consider my physical body as Black Stone, then my Primordial Spirit... is White Stone!"

"Then my body can become... a chessboard of Heaven and Earth!"

"White Stone are one game; how can the physical body and the Primordial Spirit not merge?"

"If my Primordial Spirit power could also be integrated into my Immortal Body..."

Li Hao's thoughts surged forth, growing wildly, and he Forbidden Zone mobilized all his Immortal Power, causing his physical body to writhe and change accordingly.

He Origin Sixth Level the Path of the Physical Body, and his Mastery over his physical body is comparable to that of Heavenly Prodigy of the Perfection of Immortal Lord Realm.

At this moment, following his will, the Primal Spirit Golden Bone also radiated the power of the Primordial Spirit. The Primal Spirit Golden Bone emitted a golden dust-like light that permeated into his immortal Immortal Body.

His Heavenly Immortal Body was already at its peak, a top-tier Immortal Body in the True Realm. However, with the permeation of his Primordial Spirit power, his Immortal Body underwent another change, with golden Primordial Spirit power emerging from within, seemingly becoming closer and more solid with his own Primordial Spirit.

This penetration and change is continuous. Li Hao can feel that his Primordial Spirit power seems to be truly merging with his physical body!

This is not the Unity the Primordial Spirit and physical body of other Immortal Deity, but rather a different kind of harmony, or rather... superposition!

A terrifying power gradually emerged from his Immortal Body. Li Hao was shocked. Using his body as a chessboard of Heaven and Earth was actually possible!
