Teaching the Way of Chess
Jiang Li had just sat down when he saw the chessboard and was immediately stunned.
"This... how could this be... No, it's impossible!"
He murmured to himself.
The moment he sat down, he felt an immense and boundless sense of vastness, as if he were seeing a world without boundaries, where Heibai intertwined, and good and evil were interwoven!
That was an incredibly terrifying manifestation of the Great Dao!
And... it comes from this dusty, gray chessboard in front of us.
"Heibai and white lines crisscross, seemingly without end... Could this be the legendary chessboard??"
His heart was filled with utter shock!
The Chess Immortal Sect is no ordinary sect; it has a presence throughout the Immortal Realm and is a branch of the Wu Hui Wuhui Immortal City in the Central Immortal Realm!
The Wuhui Immortal City... is one of the strongest Immortal Lords in the Central Immortal Realm.
Prove immortality through the way of Go!
That's why the Chess Immortal Sect knows some secrets.
As a former Holy Son of the Chess Immortal Sect, Jiang Li had heard of the name... Immortal Lord Wu Hui. The reason he was able to attain immortality was simply because, in his youth, he had served a terrifying figure for three days!
In just three days, he became a celestial lord!
According to the sect's legend, the Immortal Lord Wu Hui spent his entire life obsessed with a particular artifact...
That's the chessboard used by some terrifying figure back in the day.
No one in the world has ever seen that chessboard. Even the Chess Immortal Sect only knows that it is called the "Black and White Chessboard" or the "Boundless Chessboard"!
Heibai... Isn't this chessboard before us formed by Heibai lines?
Boundless... Isn't this chessboard before us boundless?
Moreover, this vast, boundless, and terrifying aura...
At that moment, he was almost certain... this was most likely the legendary chessboard!
The chessboard, in the hands of this senior before me...
Could this senior be...?
His pupils contracted!
Not only him, but even Marshal Gongya, and Xin Ning beside him were extremely surprised at this moment.
"Devil Lord... could this be that chessboard?"
Gongya spoke in shock.
As a former Demon General, she had heard some of the legends in the Immortal Realm!
This seems to involve a legendary Celestial King...
In fact, a rumor about this chessboard in the Devil Realm once led to a war between immortals and demons that lasted for thousands of years!
I never expected that the chessboard would be here...
"Pretty close."
Xin Ning's little face was filled with complex emotions.
This chessboard... was carelessly tossed into the woodpile by the Big Brother, who even cleaved it in cracks with Wood-cutting Knife...
If the giants of the Immortal Realm found out, they'd probably vomit blood!
Seeing Jiang Li staring intently at the chessboard, Li Fan felt slightly embarrassed. After all, it was already so old, and had even been cut with two cracks...
He said:
"Ahem, this chessboard is a bit shabby, but it's still usable, don't worry about it."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li quickly realized what was happening and said:
"Senior, you flatter me, you flatter me!!!"
Shabby?
Can this word be used to describe such a priceless treasure?
If this were taken out, the entire Immortal Realm would be turned upside down!
But seeing the two cracks on the edge of the chessboard, his feelings became even more complicated!
Such objects possess eternal power and can be considered truly immortal and eternal. No matter how time passes, even the destruction caused by the great laws of heaven and earth cannot damage them.
But the wood-chopping knife slashed it, leaving two cracks.
What level of Wood-cutting Knife would that be?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt himself trembling.
"You are a guest, please take the black piece."
Li Fan spoke.
"Yes, sir!"
Jiang Li immediately picked up a black piece from the chess box.
The moment he raised the chess piece, everyone around him was stunned!
"Such a powerful aura! This chess piece is like a world within a world..."
"It possesses boundless power; even a single one thrown out would likely be an unbearable weight for all the Myriad Worlds!"
"That's terrifying..."
Nan Feng and the others were all astonished!
They often watched Li Fan play chess against himself, his moves seemingly effortless and relaxed.
Only now do I realize that this chess piece actually contains such terrifying power.
Huo Ling'er and Mu Qianning were instantly shocked.
"This aura... is even more terrifying than the one in Chen Xuanbei's hand!"
Huo Ling'er was shaken.
"Senior Li is truly omniscient; every single one of his chess pieces is a priceless treasure..."
Mu Qianning's eyes were also filled with admiration!
But Li Fan was completely unaware, and casually picked up a white piece and placed it down!
When Jiang Li raised the chess piece, everyone clearly felt the terrifying Dao principle that made the world tremble; the aura was terrifying.
However, when Li Fan made his move, it was as if the piece in his hand was just an ordinary chess piece, without any sense of power or energy emanating from it!
Natural and casual!
Everyone was momentarily stunned!
"No wonder we couldn't discover the secrets before. Master handled everything with such ease. These terrifying pawns were no different from a grain of sand to him..."
Long Zixuan murmured.
"Legend has it that the Giant Buddha could lift Myriad Worlds in a single palm when it makes a move, and it is indeed true... The power of the Giant Buddha can support the heavens and the earth!"
Qing Chen was thrilled; his eyes looked as if he were on a pilgrimage!
"Every move Master makes is actually a supreme Dao. We have always known too little about it, and our understanding of it is too superficial!"
The Nan Feng murmured as well.
Both sides exchanged several blows!
Jiang Li was initially solemn, but then he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort and ease.
He clearly felt that he was navigating a world filled with rules.
It's like the soul has grown wings, freely expressing itself!
Unconsciously, he expressed himself freely and fully!
He felt an exhilarating sensation, as if he were riding a horse at full gallop, as if he were flying through the air...
His expression was one of ecstatic joy; he had completely lost himself in the moment!
The surrounding disciples were all shocked by what they saw.
"How could he have stayed with Master for so long?"
Dugu Yuqing stared at Jiang Li in astonishment.
He had witnessed his master's chess skills firsthand!
Immortality can be attained with a mere flick of the wrist!
Even if Jiang Li is exceptionally talented, how could he possibly be a match for his master?
That's impossible.
"No... Master is guiding him... Didn't you feel the change in his aura? He's not playing chess, he's clearly comprehending the Dao!"
Ziling spoke up, revealing the secret in a single sentence!
She was most sensitive to changes in the Dao Rhyme, so she noticed them.
Upon hearing this, everyone wore complex expressions.
So that's how it is...
Master is indeed giving guidance even in the most casual moments!
Gongya, too, was filled with shock at this moment, muttering to herself:
"This child is truly fortunate to receive such a great fortuitous opportunity from his master!"
She Chang Ming what this fortuitous opportunity truly meant...
Years ago, Immortal Lord Wu Hui followed that terrifying being for three days, but he was merely a servant and could not receive any instruction from that terrifying being!
Today, Jiang Li is receiving personal instruction from Li Fan!
If this gets back to the Immortal Realm, even the Immortal Lords will be envious!
Soon, only a few chess pieces remained.
The game is over.
Li Fan placed his last piece.
In a daze, as if he had stepped out of his own world, he suddenly awoke from his dream and stared at the chessboard, stunned.
What just happened?
Have I... and this terrifying being... already played a game of chess?
"No, this black piece... why is it so exquisite? So profound? The murderous intent is hidden, the variations are countless, it can be called a game Celestial Person!"
He was shocked, staring at the black pieces, almost doubting himself.
Did I really make this move?
"How could I possibly possess such high-level chess skills... Even the Sect Master could never reach such a level..."
He murmured, finding it unbelievable!
At that moment, Li Fan, sitting opposite him, smiled slightly and said:
"Now, do you know how to defeat that reborn person?"
He scattered the chess pieces in his hand back into the chess box.
Extremely carefree and unrestrained!
