A Game of Chess Surpassing the Ages
Dugu Yuqing and the others have returned.
Li Fan looked over and immediately smiled slightly.
They're not injured at all!
I'm relieved.
Dugu Yuqing and the others had just stepped into the Small Courtyard.
"Boom!"
A myriad of roars resounded from Dugu Yuqing's body, and countless Great Daos were completed!
Qing Chen appeared even more ethereal!
A flash of Heibai light seemed to appear in Jiang Li's eyes.
Golden light shone from Long Zixuan's body, and it seemed as if a dragon's shadow was roaring!
Lu Rang's blade of grass swayed gently, as if receiving some kind of mysterious baptism!
Seeing this, Nan Feng Ziling, and the others were all shocked.
"Immortal... Junior Brother Yuqing and the others have all become immortals??"
Nan Feng exclaimed in surprise!
"Such a powerful aura... Five Immortals, my junior brothers are really getting stronger and stronger."
Ziling was also delighted.
"Devil Lord, look at that blade of grass..."
Gongya pointed at the plant Lu Rang, her expression one of utter shock!
"Even a blade of grass can achieve immortality..."
Xin Ning's big eyes were also filled with surprise.
"Woof!"
At that moment, a dark figure darted out and tried to kill Wu Dade by biting his buttocks!
"Ugh... you damn dog!"
Wu Dade screamed and immediately started fighting with the black dog!
Upon seeing this, everyone burst into laughter!
"It's good that you're back!"
Li Fan smiled and said, "So, how did you fare in this fight?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yuqing stepped forward and said:
"Reporting to Master, we have won a great victory!"
"We've won completely!"
Li Fan nodded with satisfaction.
"Junior brother, what exactly happened?"
Nan Feng then transmitted his voice to Long Zixuan.
"Reporting to Senior Sister, the tens of millions of troops of the Three Great Heavenly Realms have been completely annihilated, and the three forbidden areas have been leveled."
Long Zixuan answered concisely via telepathy!
Upon hearing this, Nan Feng and the others were all astonished!
They wiped out the Three Great Heavenly Realms... and the forbidden zones?
That's terrifying!
"By the way, Master, we've found three stone tokens!"
Dugu Yuqing took out the stone tokens from the Three Great Heavenly Realms.
Upon seeing this, Li Fan's eyes lit up.
Very good.
In this way, I can unlock three more types of butterflies.
He could have obtained five more types of butterflies.
Soon Yunxi will come again, and he will be able to finish his work. Li Fan has had enough of living in constant fear.
"Very good!"
Li Fan gave an approving reply.
Dugu Yuqing and the others were overjoyed. After so long, they could finally do something for their master.
"By the way, Master, we encountered Heibai on the road. He wanted to come and pay his respects to you!"
At this moment, Jiang Li forward and spoke.
Heibai.
The moment those two words were uttered, Nan Feng, Xin Ning, and the others present were all shocked.
Heibai??
These two words represent...
There was only one person!
King of Black and White!
"The King of Black and White? Hasn't he already vanished into the annals of time?"
"How could this be...?"
They were all puzzled.
Dugu Yuqing then transmitted his voice, briefly recounting what had happened in the Three Great Heavenly Realms.
Upon hearing this, Xin Ning and the others were even more shocked.
"As expected of the legendary King of Black and White, even though he's just a human skin, he can still overpower the Five Kings!"
Nan Feng looked shocked.
"A powerful figure born in the wrong era... Above the path of immortality, there is actually a path of sainthood..."
Ziling murmured to herself, her gaze towards Li Fan now completely changed.
She had previously believed that her master should be a figure like a King of Immortality, possibly similar to the legendary Black and White Heavenly King.
But unexpectedly... even the Black and White Heavenly King came to pay their respects to their master?
Master is definitely a figure in the Saint Dao realm.
She now realized that she had underestimated her master's level of cultivation!
"The Heibai and Heavenly Devil King... a Devil King whose power has shaken the ages..."
Gongya murmured.
Xin Ning's big eyes were also filled with shock, and her gaze towards Li Fan was increasingly incredulous.
"Big Brother is really amazing... Is he... is he a predecessor who survived from the ancient era?"
She was guessing!
Li Fan, however, looked completely puzzled.
"Heibai? Who is he??"
Never heard of it.
Dugu Yuqing and the others were taken aback.
Master, don't you know about the King of Black and White?
"That's right, how could someone of Master's stature know the name of a mere junior?"
Jiang Li, however, felt quite relieved and took it all in stride, and immediately Shi Dao:
"Reporting to Master, Heibai is a senior who loves the way of Go, and he has the utmost respect for your Go philosophy!"
Upon hearing this, Li Fan instantly understood.
So he was a Go enthusiast!
"Please let him in."
Li Fan smiled.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li was overjoyed!
He immediately turned around, walked out of the Small Courtyard, looked at the Black and White Heavenly King who were solemnly waiting outside, and said:
"Senior, my master has already granted you permission to enter!"
The Black and White Heavenly King's body trembled slightly. His face was filled with anticipation and excitement. He walked over step by step, crossed the threshold, and entered the Small Courtyard!
The moment the Black and White Heavenly King entered the Small Courtyard, he froze.
Sky!
What kind of aura is this!?
A myriad of paths roared, the holy path was unparalleled!
This terrifying principle!
This supreme Dao Rhyme!
This unique energy!
"Is this the true path of holiness? Is this the true path of holiness?"
At that moment, he trembled with excitement!
But then his gaze shifted to the scene in the Small Courtyard.
A peach tree...
A flock of chickens...
Some carp...
A spider...
Hiss!
He gasped, as if he had witnessed an unparalleled horror!
Is this place the ultimate forbidden zone?
"What kind of person can keep the beings within the sacred path...?"
He muttered to himself, his eyes filled with utter terror!
"Master, this is Senior Heibai!"
At this moment, Jiang Li introduced the Black and White Heavenly King to Li Fan.
The Black and White Heavenly King also looked over, their gazes landing on Li Fan.
"As unfathomable as an abyss, as vast as an ocean... seemingly ordinary, yet utterly transcendent!"
"Even among those who have attained sainthood, it's unlikely they possess such demeanor..."
He was deeply shaken; he understood.
This person must be the owner of this place.
An ancient being... so ancient as to be unimaginable!
Absolutely standing firm in the holy path!
He stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said respectfully:
"Heibai greet senior!"
Heibai greets his senior!
Seeing the respect shown by the Black and White Heavenly King, Xin Ning and the others were all greatly shocked.
Oh my god...
Master is really terrifying.
Even the Black and White Heavenly King are showing such respect??
Li Fan smiled and said:
"You're too kind, sir."
"I heard from Jiang Li that you like chess?"
The Heibai passage was solemn and heavy.
"Before my seniors, I dare not speak of the ways of chess!"
I dare not speak!
Jiang Li and the others had complicated expressions. The Black and White Heavenly King's chess skills were absolutely unparalleled in the Immortal Realm.
But when facing Li Fan, he could only utter one sentence. "I dare not speak..."
"No need to be modest. Since you're here, let's have a game."
Li Fan smiled.
Since the other party has come, they must want to play chess with me.
After all, people who enjoy playing chess have this kind of addiction!
Upon hearing this, the Black and White Heavenly King were immediately taken aback. They actually had the opportunity to receive guidance from this senior?!
This is an unparalleled fortuitous opportunity!
"Thank you, senior!"
He was overcome with emotion and spoke solemnly!
"Set up the chessboard."
Li Fan waved.
Jiang Li immediately took out the dusty, gray chessboard.
Upon seeing the chessboard, a look of shock immediately appeared in the eyes of the King of Black and White.
"Why... why does this chessboard contain my current Dao?"
"Moreover, the principles of chess it embodies are even more comprehensive; one is clearly only one step away from reaching a higher level..."
He murmured!
Could it be that my future self will have some connection with this senior in front of me?
In that case, this senior is truly unfathomable!
He became even more respectful.
Li Fan smiled calmly and said:
"Gongya, pour the tea!"
Gongya immediately stepped forward respectfully to pour tea.
Her heart was filled with awe; this time, her master was playing against a Heavenly Devil King!
"You've come from afar, please have some tea first."
Li Fan picked up the teacup and drank it calmly.
Upon hearing this, the Black and White Heavenly King also picked up their teacups with great respect.
The aroma of tea fills the mouth.
"... this!"
He stared at the cup of tea in astonishment; merely from its aroma, he could actually detect a Saint Dao Qi.
Could it be that this cup of tea... is itself a Source of Saint Dao?
How is that possible?
No wonder, no wonder every single one of this senior's disciples exudes such a strong aura of sainthood...
Do they usually eat and drink sacred things?
He trembled, he was excited. Was this cup of tea an unparalleled fortuitous opportunity bestowed upon him by this senior?
At this moment, he felt immense respect for Li Fan!
He drank his tea solemnly!
At that moment, he clearly felt a ethereal and transcendent Saint Dao Qi filling his entire body!
At this moment, the immortal path within his body also rapidly gave rise to the holy path!
The surrounding disciples, including Dugu Yuqing, Nan Feng, and Jiang Li, were all shocked. They sensed that the aura of the Black and White Heavenly King was undergoing a mysterious change!
"Please make the first move."
Li Fan smiled.
At this moment, the King of Black and White's sacred path was flourishing and the Great Dao was changing. He immediately placed his piece with utmost respect!
At this moment, all the disciples around were watching!
They knew that this game would inevitably involve a clash of various fundamental principles!
The moves of the Black and White Heavenly King are sometimes fierce and ruthless, and sometimes they are flexible and adaptable!
They have a very good grasp of both offense and defense.
However, Li Fan was extremely capricious.
He was doing something incredibly simple.
"That's interesting."
Li Fan smiled; he hadn't encountered such an opponent in a long time.
The opponent's understanding of chess has reached a high level!
It can fight itself for more than ten rounds.
He made consecutive moves.
"It's a pity, it's still not smooth enough!"
Li Fan sighed slightly. After a dozen or so moves, he finally discovered that his opponent's moves still had many flaws!
"Well, since that's the case, I'll grant your wish!"
He was moved by the talent, after all, he had never encountered such a gifted chess player before!
Immediately, Li Fan placed his piece.
At this moment, the Black and White Heavenly King gradually entered Enlightenment Realm.
He seemed to be being guided, searching for something.
What are they exploring!
He seemed to see black and white merging.
It was as if I saw the fusion of good and evil.
It's as if I'm witnessing a convergence of immortals and demons!
That was... true freedom!
There is no distinction between good and evil, only freedom!
Goodness is also a form of freedom.
Evil is also a form of freedom!
The Black and White Heavenly King placed a piece.
Suddenly, at that moment, he closed his eyes!
Moment.
It was as if he had traveled through time!
At this moment, Jiang Li, who was standing next to him, suddenly changed his expression. He too was caught in a strange state as the sound of chess rang out!
At this moment, Jiang Li seemed to be outside of time and space.
Before Jiang Li's eyes, he saw a scene from hundreds of thousands of years ago!
