Dao Resonance Crisscrossed, Each Move Heart-Stopping

Above the lake, clouds and mist swirled.

An enormous Go Board appeared, seemingly carved from white and black Go Board.

The entire Go Board, with nineteen lines on each side, exudes an ancient and weathered aura.

Each Dao Marks seems to contain the ultimate truth of the universe.

On one side of the huge Go Board sat a Green-Robed Elder.

The old man had white hair and beard, a gaunt face, and warm, deep eyes that seemed to hold boundless wisdom.

Although the old man simply sat there quietly.

However, the aura that naturally emanates from its body seems to blend seamlessly with heaven and earth, becoming one with them.

Soon, around the lake, within the area shrouded by the Go Board's light and shadow, figures appeared one after another, each occupying a section of the void.

Among the visitors were an elderly man with an air of otherworldly wisdom, a middle-aged man with a commanding presence, and a spirited young genius...

The righteous and the demonic paths, the major sects, the powerful Lineage...

After he appeared, everyone's gaze first fell on the huge Go Board, and then settled on the Green-Robed Elder.

Upon sensing the old man's aura, many people bowed deeply in respect.

"Greetings, senior!"

Many of them were not first-time participants in this Heavenly Question Chess Game.

After all, the Heavenly Question Chess Game is held once every three years, which isn't a very long time.

Everyone knew that this old man was a disciple of the Old Man Heavenly Question.

At this moment, Chen Changqing and Xiaoqian also arrived at this Secret Realm.

"Um?"

Sensing something, Chen Changqing was startled, his gaze fixed on the Green-Robed Elder.

The old man did not deliberately conceal his aura, which made it easy for everyone to sense that his cultivation had reached the level of Title True Lord.

"Title True Lord?"

Chen Changqing was secretly startled.

Unexpectedly, the one presiding over the Heavenly Question Chess Game was actually a True Lord- level powerhouse.

It's important to know that things like this are not common.

Chen Changqing quickly calmed himself down and turned his gaze to the huge Go Board.

On either side of the Go Board, there is a large Go Piece Jar, containing Black and White Go Pieces respectively.

"Is it just a game of chess?"

After observing for a moment, Chen Changqing muttered something under his breath.

It can't be that simple.

In Chen Changqing's view, this Heavenly Question Chess Game is related to the inheritance of the Old Man Heavenly Question, and it is certainly not as simple as just playing a game.

"Young Master."

Are you confident?

Just as Chen Changqing was lost in thought, Xiaoqian, who was standing beside him, suddenly asked a question.

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing smiled slightly and replied:

Let's wait and see!

Xiaoqian nodded slightly. For some reason, she held Chen Changqing in very high regard deep down.

I always felt that Chen Changqing was omnipotent.

Then, one after another, many more people entered the Secret Realm.

After seeing that most of the people had arrived, the Green-Robed Elder calmly swept his gaze over everyone present and said indifferently:

"The rules of the Heavenly Question Chess Game remain unchanged."

"The winner of a game of chess will receive my master's teachings."

"I wonder which outstanding individual will be the first to give it a try today?"

The old man spoke in a gentle tone, yet his words reached everyone's ears clearly.

To Chen Changqing's surprise...

As soon as the old man spoke, no one stepped forward; they all seemed to be hesitating.

Just then, Cultivator nearby muttered in a low voice:

"This Heavenly Question Chess Game, is no ordinary contest of chess."

"Every step taken is a severe test of one's Dao Heart, comprehension, and even the Dao one has cultivated."

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself:

"I see."

"I knew this game wouldn't be as simple as I thought!"

Thinking it over, Chen Changqing came to his senses and decided not to seek the limelight.

After all, he knew very little about this Heavenly Question Chess Game, so it was best to observe it first.

Seeing that no one had come forward for a long time, the Green-Robed Elder frowned slightly and said again:

"How?"

"Did you all come here just to join in the fun?"

"If you don't even have the courage and boldness to be the first to step forward and play, how can you defy the heavens and prove your path to immortality!"

Upon hearing the old man's words, many people present became eager to participate.

"I'll do it!"

At that moment, a shout rang out.

Upon closer inspection, a young man dressed in a moon-white sword robe was seen walking on the waves and landing on one side of the Go Board.

"Lin Yiqiu of the Chess Sword Pavilion, here for a game of chess!"

"I humbly request your guidance, senior!"

Upon entering, a young man named Lin Yiqiu bowed and clasped his hands in greeting to the old man.

Seeing this, the Green-Robed Elder glanced calmly at Lin Yiqiu and then said:

Please take a seat!

Lin Yiqiu nodded slightly and then sat down on the Meditation Cushion.

"Please!"

Seeing that Lin Yiqiu was ready, the old man spoke.

Lin Yiqiu took a deep breath, his expression solemn, and took the black pieces to make the first move.

With a slight nod, an invisible surge of True Qi flowed forth and landed directly in the Go Piece Jar beside him.

Upon closer inspection, a huge black stone emerged and landed squarely on the star position with a crisp sound like the ringing of a sword.

"Boom!"

The moment the black piece landed, it unleashed a sharp Sword Intent, transforming into a phantom black sword in the air above the Go Board, pointing directly at the white camp.

Lin Yiqiu follows the path of "Chess-Sword Unity".

Using chess pieces as swords, the layout itself becomes Sword Formation.

The Green-Robed Elder saw this, his expression indifferent, and with a light wave of his hand, a white piece fell to the ground.

The move was made silently.

However, it formed an invisible wall of energy, which quietly neutralized the Sword Intent of Lin Yiqiu's black chess piece.

"Um?"

Upon seeing this, Lin Yiqiu frowned slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

He then continued to make his moves, and the Green-Robed Elder calmly responded.

As the game unfolded, Lin Yiqiu speed, each move carrying the sharp clang of a sword.

"Boom boom..."

"Whoosh!"

Before long, the sky above the huge Go Board was filled with the crisscrossing light of Sword Light and the sweeping Sword Qi!

With each move, the Sword Intent soared.

Sometimes it's like a torrential downpour, sometimes like a solitary peak piercing the sky.

The offensive was fierce and unparalleled.

His chess moves are like his sword moves, full of attack and aggression.

Faced with Lin Yiqiu's move, the white pieces held by the Green-Robed Elder resembled a vast sea of clouds.

No matter how sharp Lin Yiqiu's swordsmanship was, it could always be contained and neutralized by it.

After seventy moves, Lin Yiqiu's Sword Momentum, though seemingly fierce, had actually been guided and divided by the white pieces, leaving him mired in a quagmire.

"Um?"

"This..."

How could that be?

Lin Yiqiu's forehead was covered in sweat, and his raised hand trembled slightly. After hesitating, he finally placed a piece.

Seeing this, the old man remained calm, seemingly delivering a casual "small flying" strike.

With the placement of a piece, the already precarious Sword Momentum on the Go Board collapsed with a deafening roar. An invisible force instantly annihilated the Sword Intent of all the black pieces on the Go Board.

"Puff!"

The next moment, Lin Yiqiu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body being backlashed by the invisible Sword Qi, and he was sent flying backward.

"No!!"

As he retreated, Lin Yiqiu's face was filled with resentment.

How is that possible?

"My... my sword... my path... are they so utterly vulnerable?"
