Yao Niang Wave Sleeve, with Nan Rou, suddenly appeared in another blessed place Grotto-Heaven.

This Grotto-Heaven blessed land looks very ordinary, with clear vegetation and simple rocks. It does not have as dazzling anomalies as the previous Star Moon Immortal Mansion.

The only difference is that the smell in the air is very ancient and vast, with a heavy feeling of time.

Nan Rou was sizing it up secretly when his eyes were suddenly attracted by two figures in the distance.

Beside a Green Stone table, two old men with white hair and hanging shoulders sat opposite each other, concentrating on playing a chess game.

The old man on the left is surrounded by clear blue Dao Rhythm, flowing water, warm and mighty.

The old man on the right is clothed in red light, the flames are rising, blazing and fierce.

But the two of them sat there motionless, staring intently at Chessboard on the table, as if they were in trance.

Yao Niang looked at the two old men with obvious awe, and she whispered to Nan Rou:

"These two are High Antiquity Great Dao sages. One is in charge of Water Great Dao, and the other is in charge of Blazing Fire Great Dao. They discuss the chess game, fight with fire and water, and refuse to admit defeat. The game has not yet decided the winner."

After Yao Niang finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Nan Rou, with expectations in his eyes:

"What you are cultivating is Water Great Dao, which has the same origin as this Water Element Senior Dao Path. If you can help Water Element Senior defeat Fire Dao and win this game, you may be able to get his lifelong Inheritance."

Nan Rou was shocked after hearing this, and then he looked at the chess game on the stone table attentively.

Chessboard is filled with red and blue chess pieces. The red fire chess pieces are fierce and fierce, and they are aggressive every step of the way, taking the initiative to seize the momentum of Chessboard.

The blue water chess piece is gentle and vast. It does not fight or grab. It uses softness to consolidate its power. It seems to be a peaceful defense. In fact, it has hidden power. It is watertight. It can be attacked by fierce fire, but it never loses an inch.

The two chess positions of water and fire are clearly distinct and confront each other.

Fire chess attacks fiercely, water chess defends firmly, fire cannot defeat water, and water cannot swallow fire.

One strong and one soft, one offensive and one defensive, the two ultimate Great Daos check and balance each other on Chessboard, forming a deadlock with no solution.

Nan Rou stood quietly on the spot, his eyes slowly scanning every chess board, observing and thinking attentively.

The chess game in front of us is not about who is weak and who loses, but about the balance of water and fire to the extreme, locking in all opportunities for the other to break the game.

"Isn't this just me and Husband discussing..."

After a while, a hint of Qing Ming suddenly appeared in Nan Rou's eyes.

The two White-Haired Old Man still sat motionless, completely unaware of everything around them.

"Rou'er, have you thought of a way to break the situation?"

Yao Niang was very surprised when he saw Nan Rou walking towards the stone table not far away.

"I thought of it, Old Ancestor."

Nan Rou nodded slightly, and slowly stepped forward to the stone table.

I saw a wisp of Water Dao Principles lingering on her fingertips, and she focused on the key space in the middle of Chessboard that connected the whole situation.

"Ta."

A blue water chess piece landed steadily in the middle of the piece.

This step does not attack, block or defend, but it perfectly activates the overall trend of Water Element.

The originally stagnant Water Great Dao Rhyme instantly flowed through, and the water that was originally stuck in one corner suddenly spread out in all directions.

The eternal stalemate was completely broken by this child!

At the moment when the chess piece was settled.

The bodies of the two sage old men, who looked like sculptures, were trembling slightly at the same time.

Two vast and vicissitudes of eyes, one of water and one of fire, all fell on Nan Rou.

Shuiyi White-Haired Old Man's eyes were so bright that he could see the sun through the clouds, and his whole body felt like he had been enlightened, instantly enlightened.

On the other hand, Fire Dao Elder looked at the side, his body was slightly stiff, staring at the Azure Chess Piece in the middle of Chessboard, his face full of disbelief.

After a brief silence, Water Element Elder slapped his thigh fiercely, his voice full of relief and emotion:

"Wonderful! So wonderful! I have been deducing day and night and thinking hard every night, and I have chosen this midsection point countless times!

"But I am always obsessed with perfecting the defense and not losing an inch of the foundation. I always think that if I make a move here, it will affect the foundation of the entire water potential. If I abandon the defense, I will definitely die!"

"Who would have known! Death Land, who seems to have given up on the corner and exposed his flaws, is actually the only way to survive the situation and connect the whole situation. He uses a little to make the whole situation and takes advantage of the trend to break through. This is the True Intention of Water Great Dao!"

Tens of years of obsession will be shattered in one day.

He practices Water Great Dao and sticks to the principle of good water protection all his life and does not fight for water. However, he forgets the true meaning that water has no permanent shape, follows the trend, and can be softened or expanded.

Fire Dao Elder was speechless for a long time, looking at the tilted chess game, and then looking at the young Nan Rou in front of him, his eyes full of emotion.

Yao Niang stood at the back, equally shocked, her eyes filled with wonder. She never expected that Nan Rou would break the game so easily.

Over the years, in order to find opportunities, she has also painstakingly studied chess skills.

But the more I study it, the more I realize that the Chessboard situation is more complicated and profound, and I can't even think of a way to solve it.

But now, this eternal chess game has been easily broken by Nan Rou!

"Oh, I really need someone who is destined."

Yao Niang suddenly smiled bitterly, and his heart suddenly became clear.

Great Dao Opportunity, in the end, it depends on Fortune, it depends on the fit, and more importantly, it depends on where Heavenly Mandate belongs among the Unseen.

She practiced hard for many years and tried her best to understand the chess game, but she still couldn't figure it out.

And Nan Rou happens to be practicing Water Great Dao, and happens to be in the Demon Moon Divine Palace. It feels like all this is destined in the Unseen.

At this moment, Water Element White-Haired Old Man looked at Nan Rou excitedly:

"Little girl, you have seen through the dead water and the conservative Great Dao True Meaning, and the living water is all over the sky. Then tell me, what is Water Great Dao in your heart?"

Nan Rou thought for a moment after hearing this and said softly:

"My disciples believe that Water Great Dao is valuable in being gentle and upright, benefiting all things, using softness to overcome hardness, going with the flow, being able to hold on to True Heart, and being tolerant of all kinds of situations. This is the true meaning of Water Dao."

What Nan Rou said is sincere, and it is also the most sincere realization I have had since practicing all the way.

Water Element Elder nodded, then shook his head slightly and said:

"Your understanding is excellent, which shows that you have the power of living water to change things, but your way is still very lacking."

After saying this, Nan Rou was slightly startled.

Yao Niang also held his breath and listened quietly.

Water Element Elder spoke slowly, "You are too good at guarding and giving in. You know how to adapt, but you lack the ability to kill.

"Water can moisten all things, and can also flood all wastes. You have only learned the softness and beauty of water, but you have never learned the anger and power of water. When you encounter good, you will help, and when you encounter evil, you should swallow it up. This is complete Water Dao.

"Today you, Dao Heart, are too soft, too gentle, and always want to make concessions when encountering problems. You lack the sharpness and decisiveness that Great Dao dominates. This is your advantage, and it is also your biggest Shackles."

"Thank you Senior for your guidance and pointing out my disciple's shortcomings."

After hearing Water Element Elder's words, Nan Rou's heart shivered. She has been practicing so far and is indeed used to being tolerant and giving in.

At this time, Water Element Elder smiled again and said, "Fortunately, you Dao Heart are pure, have a flawless foundation, can polish off your shortcomings, and train your character. You are much better than those cultivators who are paranoid and solidified."

After saying that, Water Element Elder suddenly felt confused and looked at Nan Rou: "You have a soft nature and are not good at attacking. How did you figure out this wonderful move?"

After hearing this, Nan Rou suddenly felt a little embarrassed. "Actually, I thought this Senior was another person."

"Another person?"

Hearing Nan Rou's answer, the two old men Shui Huo said in unison, and they were all curious.

Nan Rou nodded, feeling an indescribable shyness in his heart:

"My disciple often competes with him. I am good at defense, and he is good at offense. I have just brought myself and him into this chess game.

"I am the water chess player who is on the defensive in the game, while he is the fire chess player who is aggressive every step of the way. After long-term discussions, I always stick to the defense and am often tightly restrained by his offensive attacks. I can only passively parry.

"Over time, I have come to understand that blindly defending will never win against a fierce attack. Only by actively adapting and catering to the opponent's attack can we break the deadlock and make him surrender.

"The inextricable situation in the chess game just now was almost exactly the same as the situation I played with him, so I took advantage of the situation and tried to make this move to break the game."

These words were simple and straightforward, but Nan Rou had a hint of shame in his eyebrows.

In fact, the discussion she was talking about was a discussion between men and women, but what the two old men and Yao Niang heard, they thought it was a discussion between two practitioners.

"It makes sense, it makes sense!"

Water Element Elder nodded repeatedly, stroking his beard and laughing.

Seeing the other party's arrogant and happy look, Fire Element Elder frowned. "Water Old Ghost, why are you happy? Now the deadlock has been broken, you haven't won me!"

Water Element Elder was startled when he heard this, then raised his head and laughed loudly:

"Hahaha, Fire Old Ghost, you are still so grumpy, why don't you accept it?"

Fire Element Elder said in a deep voice, "Nonsense, there is no winner, of course I won't accept it!"

Water Element Elder suddenly stood up and gave up his seat. He looked at Nan Rou and said, "Come on, little girl, you defeat him for me!"
