Chapter 646: The Thirteenth Way of Chess, the Heart of Chess without Form (5K)
Li Hao had never seen such a scene when he was watching his master, Immortal Emperor Daoyuan, make his move.
The chess level of the two old men in front of him was obviously far higher than his and his master. I'm afraid they were already at the fourteenth or even fifteenth level!
Li Hao transformed into a chess piece, and could only glimpse the endless starry sky. He saw that the laws of all things were in order, and the starry land was spread all over. There were many realms in it, and time was overlapping, like a fantastic and magnificent scene.
"Laws and order are the thread, time and space overlap, past and future..."
Li Hao's eyes were in a trance. The way of chess, chess is like heaven and earth.
He suddenly had an epiphany: the emperor of chess used all living beings as his chess pieces. The venerable chess master used the heaven and earth as his chessboard and the stars, the sun and the moon as his chess pieces. This was the pinnacle of chess. The vast universe, the chaos of ancient and modern times, were all just a drop in the ocean, all pieces.
His own way of playing chess goes against yin and yang and changes fate. All living beings are chess pieces, including the opponent's chess pieces, which can also be cleverly transformed into his assists. However, the way of playing chess in front of him is far higher than this. It has transcended the chessboard and is arranged between the chaos of heaven and earth.
"I am a son..."
Li Hao looked around and saw that he was surrounded by enemies.
This piece of his is already dead.
In an instant it will be annihilated and shattered, and removed from the chessboard.
"Survival, survival..."
Li Hao's breathing was rapid, and his eyes scanned the surroundings closely. The surroundings had been blocked, and there was no way to go up to the sky or down to the earth. Where was the way to survive?
"Time and space, transcend this time and space..."
In this critical situation, a flash of inspiration came to Li Hao's mind. His origin of time had reached the eighth level. He saw a route to the past that had not been blocked, and rushed towards it at full speed.
"Um?"
The two elders sitting in front of the chessboard suddenly showed surprise in their eyes. The seventh elder looked at the young man standing behind the eighth elder. The young man's expression was completely dull at this time, and his eyes were fixed on the chessboard, as if he was in a trance.
Just now, the opponent's spiritual sense actually touched a chess piece on the chessboard and gently pushed it!
The pushed chess piece contained the power of time. It escaped and disappeared, appearing in the past square. This was considered a lucky escape from the blockade.
But this is clearly a foul. There is no regret in making the move, so how can it be moved?
And it is not a real way to break the deadlock.
However, being able to see this with the intertwined chess skills already made the two of them somewhat surprised. After all, the young man's soul lifespan was only a few hundred years, which was less than one percent of that group of guys who claimed to be emperors.
"A true gentleman watches chess without saying a word. This little fellow, without even saying a word, just started fighting..."
The seventh elder couldn't help but smile.
…
In front of the land of the Nine Heavens.
On the lake, the originally deep and emerald green lake was now dyed red with dark brown blood, and the originally violent waves had now subsided.
The battle that broke out here has ended. High in the sky, the snow-haired woman was panting, her clothes were wet, there were several wounds on her body, her clothes were torn, and she was holding three balls of silver-white light tightly in her hands.
"Um?"
Suddenly, the snow-haired woman's face changed slightly. Sensing a bad omen, she did not hesitate at all and quickly withdrew from the lake, rushed out of the land, and came to the void outside.
"Miss, are you okay?"
The snow-haired girl quickly rushed to his side and said hurriedly.
The snow-haired woman did not say anything, but quickly absorbed the three balls of Heavenly Force in her hands. Then she heard a sound of breaking through the air. It was the Chaos Red Demon Clan and other ancient Chaos clans that she had encountered before.
"Um?"
The young man from the Chaos Red Demon Clan and others also saw the snow-haired woman. Seeing that she had taken the lead and arrived at the Ninth Heaven Realm ahead of time, their faces changed slightly. Then they found that she had injuries on her body and had obviously experienced a battle, so their faces became even uglier.
The Chaos Dao Seeds in the Eighth Heaven Realm had already been swept away by the human race. If the Chaos Dao Seeds in the Ninth Heaven Realm were snatched away by others again, they would have no choice but to go back to the Seventh Heaven Realm to search for them.
But that would obviously lag behind others.
"As expected of the Ancient Immortal Clan, they are quite fast."
The young man from the Chaos Red Demon Clan sneered.
"Have you seen that human?" asked another young man from the ancient Chaos Clan with black wings on his back.
The snow-haired woman noticed the hostile gazes of the four people, but her expression returned to calm. She said, "Whether I have met you or not is none of your business."
"you."
A cold light flashed in the eyes of another member of the ancient Chaos Clan, and he was about to attack. Although the person in front of him was a monster from the ancient Immortal Clan, even if the four of them joined forces to create domain weapons, they would still have six more than them.
While they were talking, a low roar suddenly came from the land, interrupting them. They saw three huge Chaos Dao Seeds flying over. Two of them had ferocious bodies like vicious birds, and the other one looked like a fusion of a lion and a scorpion, with a sharp tail, scales all over its body, and a golden lion face on its head.
"Three Chaos Dao Seeds!"
Seeing these three giant beasts, the eyes of the Chaos Red Demon Clan youth and others lit up.
The snow-haired woman's face changed slightly. Having experienced the previous battle on the lake, she would not underestimate the Chaos Dao Seeds of the Ninth Heaven Realm. Fortunately, she had just retreated in time, otherwise, in her current state, she would be surrounded by these three Chaos Dao Seeds and would have been forced to take out the domain weapon to escape.
"You've just hunted down the Chaos Seed, right? These three should be ours!"
The young man from the ancient Chaos Clan with black wings on his back said this with a threatening look in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, the other three also turned their eyes on the snow-haired woman, as if they would immediately start a fight if she still wanted to fight.
Seeing their determination to succeed, the snow-haired woman sneered slightly, her eyes cold, and said, "If you can kill me before I change my mind, it will be a testament to your ability."
Seeing the other party surrender, the four of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't want to really fight with the other party, so it would be best if the other party was willing to back down.
"Walk!"
Without saying anything, the four of them quickly rushed into the land of the ninth heaven.
As soon as they entered the land, they were suppressed by the chaotic order of the place, and immediately felt the terrifying power of the three chaotic Dao seeds in front of them.
"This aura is so strong!"
"careful!"
The four of them suddenly thought of the injuries on the snow-haired woman's body, their faces changed slightly, and they all looked solemn, not taking it lightly.
The three Chaos Dao Seeds were not polite at all and were extremely ferocious. They attacked the four people directly and the battle broke out quickly.
As the battle began, the four of them suddenly felt tremendous pressure. These three Chaos Dao Seeds were extremely terrifying. They had smelted 23 Chaos Laws, but they were easily torn apart by the other side!
"The chaotic power within these Chaos Dao Seeds is too strong, and the laws of chaos are almost ineffective against them!"
"How is this possible? This is the Chaos Dao Seed of the Ninth Heaven Realm?"
The four people took action, but with little effect. Instead, the attack of the three Chaos Dao Seeds made them vomit blood in an instant, and they were all horrified.
In a blink of an eye, the four were at a disadvantage. They had no choice but to burst out with their bloodline power, revealing the true form of the Ancient Chaos Clan. They also transformed into the huge original form of the Ancient Chaos Clan and fought fiercely with the four Chaos Dao Seeds. Soon, the earth was shaking and the laws were constantly oscillating.
While they were fighting, more figures arrived here one after another.
"Um?"
A young man in dark golden armor came here and was stunned when he saw the fierce battle in front of the land.
But he expected that he was not the fastest, so he remained expressionless and looked around silently.
He still vaguely remembered that he had come to the Ninth Heaven Realm a hundred thousand years ago. At that time, he teamed up with his junior sister to hunt down a few Chaos Dao Seeds in it, but they did not dare to go too deep, for fear of provoking the Beast King in it, and then their life or death would be unpredictable.
This time, he did not have his junior sister with him, but he believed that with his combat power from two lifetimes, he could hunt down the Chaos Dao Seeds alone, as long as he did not encounter the Beast King. If he really encountered one, he would have no choice but to use the domain weapon to save his life, because all the Chaos Dao Seeds in the Eighth Heaven Realm had been slaughtered.
"Four against three is still so difficult. The current generation of the Chaos Ancient Clan is indeed not as good as before."
The young man in dark golden armor thought to himself.
Then, his gaze fell on the snow-haired woman again, and his eyes moved.
His figure flashed and flew over: "You are from the ancient immortal clan, right? What is your name?"
The snow-haired woman turned around and saw the young man in dark gold armor. She immediately sensed a faint sense of oppression from the other person. There were not many people in the same realm who could give her such pressure, at least the four people before were not enough to do it.
But her expression remained calm as she said, "Xue Fei, what about you?"
"God."
The young man in dark gold armor smiled and said, "I've met Fairy Xue Ji several times. I wonder if she's doing well now?"
"Elder Xueji?"
Xue Fei raised her eyes slightly. She was a well-known strong person in the clan and also her great-grandmother.
"Are you the reincarnation of a Quasi-Emperor?"
Her eyes moved and she stared intently.
The God Lord did not comment. In his previous life, he had indeed reached the quasi-emperor realm. He died in that battle, but fortunately, like his junior sister, his soul and heart were still alive.
"She is well, but she has been in seclusion for many years. I have no details to share," said Xue Fei.
Although she knew that the person in front of her might have had a superficial relationship with her great-grandmother, she did not look happy and spoke in the same indifferent tone as always.
The God has long been accustomed to it. The pride of the ancient immortals is engraved in their bones. The same was true of the Snow Lady back then. If he had not displayed his extraordinary fighting power in his previous life and defeated her, he would not have been able to travel with her and fight side by side for a period of time.
"The Chaos Dao Seeds in the Eighth Heaven Realm have all been cleared out. Could it be your doing?"
"It was done by that human."
Xue Fei said indifferently.
The God was slightly startled, and the image of Li Hao suddenly appeared in his mind. His face darkened. In the eighth heaven, so many Chaos Dao Seeds were actually killed by that kid. That kid must have accumulated enough Heavenly Dao power. Once he leaves here, he will break through the realm and be crowned as a king. He must be a leader in the Immortal King realm and be able to condense the Heavenly Dao realm.
In the Heavenly Dao Realm, the creatures born there can comprehend and practice cultivation. In this way, the power these practicing creatures bring to the realm is far beyond what other Immortal King realms can achieve.
Moreover, the more Heavenly Dao Power one obtains, the more likely one is to attain Heavenly Dao and become the Immortal Emperor!
"If we find that brat, we must find a way to kill him!"
The God said in his heart.
His eyes turned and he said to the Snow Concubine in front of him, "This ninth level of the heaven is very dangerous. How about we explore it together?"
Xue Fei glanced at him with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
She had previously fought against three Chaos Dao Seeds with all her strength to defeat them. If there was another one, she would have to use the Domain Device. However, this item would definitely be of great use on the road to heaven, and the competition would be more intense. Without the Domain Device, she would most likely be eliminated early, so she had to keep it there.
"OK."
After thinking for a moment, she nodded in agreement.
Although she hated traveling with other people, let alone a man, she had no choice but to endure it for the time being due to the opportunity before her.
Seeing that the other party was willing to form a partnership, the God Lord heaved a sigh of relief and smiled, feeling that fate was truly marvelous. One hundred thousand years ago, he had traveled through the secret realm together with the Snow Princess, a genius from the ancient immortal clan. Now, he was traveling through the ninth heaven together with the contemporary genius from the ancient immortal clan. It seemed that he had a strong connection with the ancient immortal clan.
At the same time, Luo Ningshuang, Su Wanyi and other people who had smelted out 23 laws of chaos also arrived one after another.
On the Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking, there are no more than 30 people who have smelted 23 Chaos Laws, and half of them have already been promoted to the Immortal King Realm, or even the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
There are only more than ten people coming here now, but among them, there are some people who have smelted the 22 laws of chaos and also ventured here.
After all, the eighth realm had been cleared, so they could only come to the ninth realm to take a look. If they couldn't hunt here, they would have to return to the seventh realm.
"Are those Chaos Dao Seeds so powerful?"
Luo Ningshuang stared intently, and was shocked to see that the four ancient Chaos Clans were at a disadvantage even after joining forces. Especially when she saw that the Chaos Laws they used were ineffective against those Chaos Dao Seeds, her eyes became even more solemn.
No wonder the ninth heaven was considered a restricted area in the past and no one dared to enter. If the eighth heaven had not been cleared, she would not have come here in the first place.
"It seems that if I want to go in and hunt, I need to find someone to accompany me."
Luo Ningshuang glanced around and immediately saw her fellow disciple Su Wanyi, and Su Wanyi also noticed her. The two women looked at each other and immediately understood each other's thoughts and nodded.
When they reached a cooperation, a black-robed figure came rushing over from the edge, very inconspicuous.
But the black-robed figure glanced at the ancient Chaos Clan fighting inside with a very calm look in his eyes. He did not stop and flew straight in.
Afterwards, he did not join the melee, but flew away to other places.
Seeing someone entering the Ninth Heaven, Luo Ningshuang and Su Wanyi no longer hesitated. They set off, bypassing the people in the melee, and explored other places in the Ninth Heaven.
Although they also wanted to take advantage of the situation and seize the opportunity, the four ancient Chaos clan members all had domain weapons on them that had not been used. If they really wanted to snatch them, a domain weapon war would inevitably break out here, which was unnecessary.
They will keep these items until they fight for the road to heaven. Each person has three items, and if one is used, there will be one less item.
"Let's go too."
The God invited Xue Fei, but his eyes glanced at the girl who was like a slave beside her.
Being able to come here, even though the other party faced Xue Fei with a submissive look, the aura he exuded was already at the top level of a genius, which was extremely extraordinary.
Xue Fei nodded, and she was no longer interested in watching the fight. Now that she had someone to accompany her, she could go explore somewhere else inside.
Soon, everyone entered the ninth heaven one after another.
Some figures who had smelted 22 laws of chaos arrived later and saw the fierce battle at the door. Some chose to retreat, while others went into the ninth heaven together.
At the same time, deep in the ninth heaven.
In front of the thatched hut in the bamboo forest, Li Hao stood behind the eight elders, but his eyes were blank and his consciousness was completely immersed in the chessboard.
He transformed himself into a son, feeling the sharp edges coming from all directions. He kept hiding, traveling back and forth in time and space, but the killing moves were pressing on step by step. No matter where he hid, he was surrounded by murderous intent and could only get a moment of respite.
"This is not a long-term solution!"
Li Hao was sweating profusely, and he felt like he wanted to reorganize everything, reopen the world, and put his people in order again.
But obviously, he doesn't have such power. He can only keep escaping between the past and the future, switching back and forth.
But in the relentless pursuit of that killer move, he kept switching back and forth, but was still in a desperate situation.
"One wrong move, and the whole game is ruined..."
During the successive escapes, Li Hao felt that he had escaped countless times and was already tired and exhausted, but the murderous intent that was pressing him step by step made it impossible for him to stop.
He suddenly realized that this move was wrong from the beginning, and his struggle was just a futile attempt to save himself.
If there is no beginning, there will be no present.
Destiny... If I could go back to the beginning and not take this step, there would be no need to struggle.
He kept jumping back and forth, hiding in various places in time and space, and the killing moves of the chess pieces around him were reflected, trying to smash him to pieces.
"Fate..."
It seemed as if something was sprouting in Li Hao's mind. Some chaotic lines suddenly cleared up, and only one line suddenly stretched straight. The line seemed to come from the sky and entangled his body. Suddenly, it grabbed his body, pulled him out of the current predicament, and pulled him out of this dead end.
He jumped out and suddenly saw the vast sky and sea, the clear sky and the brilliant sea of stars, and everything seemed to have returned to its original state.
"Yesterday's cause, today's result. Eliminate the cause and sever the result... Chess is the art of deception and the art of formation. Formlessness is supreme, formlessness is king!"
Li Hao murmured to himself, his eyes became clear from confusion, as if the light of dawn burst out from his eyes, instantly penetrating the heavy mist, seeing through the alternation of time and space, and the dilemma of fate.
In an instant, a hint appeared in front of his eyes, but Li Hao ignored it. Instead, many insights into chess flooded into his mind.
He comprehended his own chess heart, the heart of the chess world!
From the 12th level of Heaven and Earth Chess, to the current 13th level, Wuxiang Chess Heart!
It has no form, no trace to be found, and is unfathomable, with countless changes!
There is no effect without cause, no past and no future. Just place your moves at random and there will be countless changes!
At this moment, Li Haotong understood.
On Jidao Mountain, he searched for the Tao for a hundred years, and in his grief and anger, he comprehended the way of reverse time painting. After another hundred years of contemplation, he still lacked two things in the way of music. Now, in this ninth heaven, watching a game of chess, comprehending the Tao, he actually broke through the bottleneck of the 12th level of chess, which he had not comprehended much before, and was promoted to the 13th level!
This is the second of the thirteen states of mind that he has comprehended!
Draw the heart in reverse time, play chess with no form!
At this moment, all the vast galaxies in front of Li Hao disappeared, his sight suddenly retracted, and he jumped out of the chessboard and returned to his own body.
He was still standing in the bamboo forest, not on the chessboard of the vast galaxy; he was still standing behind the eight elders, not in the unfathomable chess game.
It was as if no time had passed, and everything returned to the moment the conversation ended.
When Li Hao came back to his senses, he was met with the smiling and slightly surprised eyes of the Seventh Elder. The other party had a smile on his lips:
"Young man, have you realized it?"
