A Perfect Chess Game in Small Mountain Village!

The heavens, and there are beings far above you!

Huo Ling'er's words immediately made the eyes of the Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others light up!

They all understood... this meant they needed to ask Senior Li for help!

Instantly, all their previous tension and worry vanished!

What are reborn people compared to Senior Li? They're no match for him at all.

Chen Xuanbei sneered:

"Oh?"

"Far above me? I'd gladly grant him defeat and death."

Do I still have enemies in the lower realms?

Impossible!

Instead, he felt a surge of anticipation. It seemed he was about to find a clue to the Boundless Chessboard?

"That senior never makes a move, so you'll just have to wait here!"

Huo Ling'er spoke.

"My patience is limited. I'll give you three days."

Chen Xuanbei replied coldly.

Huo Ling'er coldly said:

"If that senior were to make a move, why would it take three days..."

After speaking, she turned to look at Jiang Li and Wu Dade, and said:

"Come with me!"

The two of them followed her, along with Mu Qianning and the others, in a daze.

Before long, they left the chessboard and entered the main hall.

"We need to go see Senior Li. You're in charge of keeping things stable here."

Huo Ling'er looked at the Yuanyang Holy Lord.

The Yuanyang Holy Lord nodded, but then looked at Jiang Li and Wu Dade, and said:

"They're going too?"

Huo Ling'er nodded and said, "These two are quite familiar with the Chess Immortal Sect, so they might be able to help Senior Li ask them questions."

The Yuanyang Holy Lord nodded.

Afterwards, Huo Ling'er and Mu Qianning quietly left the Taiyan Holy Land with Jiang Li, Wu Dade, and others.

"Leader Fire, where are we going?"

Wu Dade spoke with great concern.

"I'll take you to meet an invincible being!"

Before long, they arrived at the outskirts of the Small Mountain Village.

"Is there an invincible being here?"

Wu Dade was filled with doubt!

Isn't this just an ordinary Small Mountain Village?!

Jiang Li, however, was suddenly startled as he looked at the Small Mountain Village ahead and said:

"No... Wu Dade, don't talk nonsense!"

He stared intently at the Small Mountain Village, his eyes filled with the same intensity as if he were looking at a supreme celestial palace or a magnificent hall!

"What's wrong? I didn't make this up. This really is just an ordinary Small Mountain Village."

Wu Dade was puzzled.

"No... your level is too low, you don't understand, you can't see it!"

Jiang Li's voice trembled slightly as he said:

"The layout of this Small Mountain Village is so perfect, without a single flaw or defect. In this world... is there really such a perfect chess game?!"

He was so excited that he suddenly stepped forward and bowed down in worship to the Small Mountain Village!

Huo Ling'er and Mu Qianning were both instantly shocked when they saw this scene.

What's going on?

They all knew this mountain village was no ordinary place; after all, it was where Senior Li had lived in seclusion...

But Jiang Li was completely awestruck after just one glance?

"Could it be that we are too blind to see it because we are just ordinary people...?"

Mu Qianning murmured.

Jiang Li bowed deeply to the Small Mountain Village before standing up and looking excitedly at Huo Ling'er and the other person, saying:

"Ladies, please let me meet this senior here... If I could just see him, I would die without regret!"

If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening!

That's how he feels right now.

Because he finally witnessed the supreme way of chess, perfect to the extreme!

Previously, in his eyes, the new Saint Child Chen Xuanbei's chess skills were already invincible.

But now he understands that this place... is the ultimate destination of the way of chess!

Upon hearing this, Huo Ling'er and Mu Qianning exchanged a smile.

"Everything depends on the fate between you two."

Huo Ling'er spoke up, saying, "Let's go, into the village."

The group then walked together into the mountain village.

"This layout, seemingly random, is actually a masterpiece of Celestial Person skill, flawless. If I could live here again, I'm afraid it wouldn't be long before I made rapid progress in the art of chess!"

As Jiang Li walked into the village, he looked at every tree and blade of grass and was filled with emotion.

Wu Dade, however, was extremely frustrated.

He was an outer disciple of the Chess Immortal Sect, with low cultivation level, and his only skill was taming beasts!

Therefore, it cannot be sensed at all.

Before long, they finally saw the Small Courtyard in front of them!

The Small Courtyard was like a paradise.

The Nan Feng is playing a zither, its soft, melodious notes occasionally punctuated by the clash of swords. It is blending together the starkness and tranquility, the chaos and serenity.

She is exploring her path.

Several days ago, she had already successfully crossed that threshold and entered the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

Among Li Fan's disciples, there are already two Taiyi Golden Immortals.

Long Zixuan sat by the fishpond every day like a statue. After a while, the koi in the pond seemed to have gotten used to his presence and would occasionally perform some strange things. This made Long Zixuan gain a lot and his progress was very fast.

Qing Chen continued sweeping the floor. Occasionally, Li Fan would say a word or two to him, causing Qing Chen to fall into deep thought time and time again.

Dugu Yuqing's calligraphy has greatly improved. Ever since he obtained the Wuji Immortal King's battle sword, he would hold the sword every day when practicing calligraphy, resonating with the Dao within it.

"The first character is the simplest and most basic part, but to master calligraphy, you also need to master the other fundamental skills."

Li Fan was instructing him, saying:

"Next, you can practice 'vertical' strokes!"

Li Fan picked up his pen and then swung it once.

At this moment, many disciples clearly felt as if a divine sword was slashing down!

It wasn't the sweeping, earth-shattering "Heaven-Opening Sword Strike," but rather a terrifying sword intent that penetrated deep and directly touched the soul, seemingly capable of piercing through everything!

It was as if Myriad Worlds, the Void Sea, would be cleaved in two by this single vertical sword strike!

"This is... the supreme secret of swordsmanship... 'Slash'?!"

Dugu Yuqing was shocked.

At this moment, even the broken sword in his hand began to tremble, as if it were surrendering to this terrifying sword intent...

Dugu Yuqing remained silent for a long time, deeply contemplating the meaning of this sword strike.

"Having learned the Heaven-Opening Sword Strike is merely a glimpse into the Dao of Swordsmanship... The Dao of Swordsmanship mastered by my teacher is truly as profound as the ocean..."

He was deeply moved and immediately began practicing.

After teaching Dugu Yuqing calligraphy, Li Fan continued to teach Xin Ning poetry.

Between reading poems, he would occasionally glance at Lu Rang Plant Vegetables on the side.

Of all the disciples, Lu Rang was the one who evoked the most complex feelings in Li Fan.

Because he is truly passionate about farming and animal husbandry!

Recently, Lu Rang has been taking meticulous care of his potted plant, watering it, exposing it to the sun, and tending to it in the soil. He even sleeps with it in his arms!

Li Fan really wanted to say, "This is a pot of hay, the kind of hay used to feed pigs and cows, not some kind of flower!"

But he couldn't be bothered to care anymore.

After all, as long as he likes it, that's all that matters. Besides, the plant is indeed growing better and better, with full and sharp leaves, which makes Li Fan quite satisfied.

However, in the eyes of the other disciples, Lu Rang is now quite terrifying.

"Senior Brother Lu Rang is too monstrous; he actually managed to get so close to that potted plant..."

"That plant, a single leaf could probably slay a Golden Immortal... The mutation is happening faster and faster, who knows what it will eventually grow into!"

Everyone had complicated expressions. Recently, when Lu Rang put that pot of grass on the table during dinner, even Dugu Yuqing didn't dare to compete with him for food anymore.

That's terrifying!

"I really don't know what kind of extraordinary being this guy will raise..."

Every day, Gongya felt tense as she looked at Lu Rang!

Meanwhile, Xin Ning was obediently reciting poems:

"Hoeing the fields at midday, sweat drips onto the soil beneath the crops."

"Who knows that every grain of rice on the plate is the result of hard work?"

Recently, when Xin Ning was learning poetry, Gongya would also learn along with her, because she had come to understand that there was a certain profound truth in the poetry that Li Fan taught, which could be comprehended!

Seeing that everything in the Small Courtyard was in good order, Li Fan felt a little gratified and couldn't help but rub the Little White lying on his lap.

Little White has been very clever lately, often jumping around, unlike before when he liked to sleep all day.

Li Fan gently stroked the cat, while Bai Xiaoqing meowed a few times and comfortably rolled over.

Li Fan lived a leisurely and carefree life, enjoying each day to the fullest.

The only thing I think about occasionally now is taking on apprentices.

There are still four disciples needed to complete the system's task!

It's a pity; it seems there are very few people with such peculiar hobbies as Lu Rang and Long Zixuan...

"Qian Ning has come to pay her respects to Senior Li!"

At that moment, Mu Qianning's voice came from outside!
