Sword Dao Great World!
Jiang Huanyu sat upright on a stone stool. Before him lay a chessboard displaying an unfinished game.
When he sensed someone approaching, he smiled. "Lu Ren, come, play a game with me!"
Lu Ren sat down cross-legged, pinched a black stone between his fingers, and placed it on the board. "Master, this piece should go here!"
Jiang Huanyu said, "That move is wrong!"
"What is wrong with it?"
Lu Ren asked curiously.
"It should be played like this!"

At once, Lu Ren sensed that Jiang Huanyu's piece contained an invisible sword intent. The sword intents connected with the other pieces, forming a terrifying sword formation.
Lu Ren placed piece after piece, trying to counter each move as it came, yet he repeatedly suffered setbacks.
Before long, he was defeated.
Lu Ren seemed to gain some insight. "Master, another game!"

After a long while, Lu Ren held a chess piece suspended in midair, deep in thought.
"The sword is everywhere!"
Seeing that Lu Ren seemed to have gained enlightenment, Jiang Huanyu nodded slightly. "Your Sword Dao has long been etched into your heart. To cultivate it into a Great Dao will not be easy!"
"Contemplate it well. I believe you will soon enter the Dao!"
After saying that, Jiang Huanyu left directly.
