Having said that, the old man held nothing back, his soul completely merging with the chessboard.

The next moment, the white pieces on the Go Board suddenly shone brightly, evolving into even more complex and profound variations.

The Reincarnation of seasons, the birth and death of stars, the cycle of cause and effect...

It gives the impression that all sorts of extraordinary phenomena in the world are interwoven and unfolding on Go Board.

They attempted to completely dissolve Chen Changqing's Slaughter intent.

Faced with this situation, Chen Changqing remained calm and composed, his will as firm as iron, completely unaffected, and the black pieces he placed remained steadfast.

As the game progressed, the Green-Robed Elder mobilized the final forces of the game.

They were to have a final showdown with Chen Changqing.

As the old man placed a white piece, the white pieces on the Go Board instantly transformed into a dazzling river of order, like a reversed Milky Way, carrying an overwhelming force capable of crushing everything, and swept towards the black pieces.

Upon witnessing this scene, all the Cultivators watching the game held their breath.

Upon seeing this, Chen Changqing's gaze sharpened, and the black piece he had just acquired, before even landing on the Go Board, already exuded boundless Slaughtering Will.

One move!

An indomitable fighting spirit instantly filled the air, enveloping the entire Go Board.

He didn't run away; he chose to go against the current.

Just like the path of cultivation, it has always been a journey against the will of Heaven!

"Boom!"

Immediately afterwards, the Slaughtering Will condensed by the black pieces collided with the ultimate principles of heaven and earth gathered by the white pieces.

An invisible, terrifying force instantly rippled outwards.

The calm lake was suddenly engulfed in raging waves, the violent impact causing many Cultivators watching the game to stagger backward.

Once the tremors subsided, everyone looked up in delight.

On the Go Board, the vast power of the white pieces vanished like a dream. Although there were still many pieces, the inner spirit and momentum had been completely severed and destroyed by the Slaughtering Will of the black pieces!

"This?"

Upon seeing this, the Green-Robed Elder trembled violently, and his face instantly turned ashen.

He stared intently at the Go Board, his expression filled with disbelief.

With his skill in chess, he naturally figured it out.

The game is lost.

At the same time, many Cultivators present also stared intently at the scene.

Upon seeing the situation on the chessboard, everyone was dumbfounded, speechless.

Immediately afterwards, the entire Lake Heart Chess Domain fell into a deathly silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

After a long silence, a Cultivator muttered in astonishment:

"Chen Changqing... won?"

As soon as he said this, the other Cultivators snapped out of their shock.

Then, the scene erupted in cheers, with exclamations sweeping across the room like a surging tide.

"My God!"

"The Heavenly Question Chess Game... has been broken!"

"Chen Changqing actually won?"

"So, they solved the Heavenly Question Chess Game by just randomly playing a few moves?"

How is that possible?

How did he do that?

"Didn't you say you didn't understand chess? How could you possibly solve the Heavenly Question Chess Game?"

"He wouldn't have said that on purpose, would he?"

"..."

The numerous Cultivators were utterly shocked.

No one expected that Chen Changqing would eventually be able to break the Heavenly Question Chess Game.

It should be noted that this Heavenly Question Chess Game, has existed for a very long time.

Throughout history, countless geniuses and those well-versed in the art of chess have come here to play against each other.

Unfortunately, without exception, no one was able to solve this Heavenly Question Chess Game in the end.

But now, it has been solved by Chen Changqing, who doesn't understand the principles of chess.

"Young Master!"

"Young Master won!!"

When Xiaoqian saw this, she was so excited that she didn't know what to do.

"Oh?"

"This kid... he's really innocent!"

Upon seeing this, Bai Wuya couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

He had previously played chess with the Green-Robed Elder, and his spear style, like Chen Changqing's, was full of Slaughtering Will.

But Bai Wuya realized that his Slaughtering Will was not as pure as Chen Changqing's.

At crucial moments, choices will still be made based on changes in the situation.

But Chen Changqing didn't have it.

It seems that only the most primal form of killing remains!

Just as everyone was marveling, the Green-Robed Elder snapped out of his daze, his face flushed, and stared intently at Chen Changqing.

After staring for a moment, the old man suddenly burst into laughter:

"Ha ha!"

"Good! Good lad!"

"I... I've finally found you!"

The Green-Robed Elder was extremely excited.

Although I was quite shocked that Chen Changqing was able to break the game in such a way.

But what pleased the Green-Robed Elder even more was...

He had held this Heavenly Question Chess Game for countless years, and finally, he had waited for the person who could break the game.

As he laughed, the old man forcibly suppressed his excitement and looked at Chen Changqing with admiration, saying:

"Young friend."

"Prove your path through killing, break my chess game!"

"I am completely convinced!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing remained calm and smiled faintly:

"Senior, I was just... lucky!"

The old man didn't care about what Chen Changqing said and waved his hand dismissively.

"Boom!"

Immediately, the calm lake surface began to boil again.

Before long, a gate of light composed of countless runes slowly rose up, emanating an ancient and profound aura.

"Go inside!"

Seeing this, Chen Changqing slowly stood up and looked toward the door of light.

Naturally, it was known that within that gate of light lay the legacy of the so-called Old Man Heavenly Question.

At this moment, countless Cultivators around the lake saw this and their eyes burned with envy for Chen Changqing.

After all, their relentless efforts to break the Heavenly Question Chess Game were aimed at obtaining the legacy of the Old Man Heavenly Question.

Now that they can watch this legacy fall into Chen Changqing's hands, who wouldn't be envious?

"I never imagined that my haphazard play would so inexplicably unravel the mystery of that Heavenly Question Chess Game?"

Is this the legacy of the Old Man Heavenly Questions?

"Immortal?"

Chen Changqing sighed inwardly, feeling both amused and exasperated.

After all, what he said before the game wasn't out of modesty, but rather because he clearly didn't understand any principles of chess.

After a moment's thought, Chen Changqing came to his senses and, without hesitation, flew towards the door of light.

Chen Changqing's figure disappeared inside the door.

The scene before my eyes suddenly changed.

Instead of the pavilions and towers I had imagined, there was an endless starry sky.

"Oh?"

Chen Changqing was slightly surprised and looked around.

I found myself standing on a dazzling galaxy, with swirling nebulae overhead, surrounded by complete silence, except for the silent echoes of the Great Dao.

What kind of the Secret Realm is this?

"An illusion? Or a Minor World created by someone using special methods?"

Just as Chen Changqing hesitated, a commotion suddenly came from not far in front of him.

Upon closer inspection, a slightly ethereal figure slowly appeared.

Before long, the person's figure became solid and clear.

He was an old man, dressed in a simple moon-white Daoist robe, with white hair and beard, a rosy complexion like a baby's, and a faint jade-like glow flowing beneath his skin.

His eyes, seemingly containing an ancient galaxy, were incredibly deep.

He simply stood there, as if he were the center of this world, with all the great principles of the heavens revolving around him.
