Chapter 100: The Sky is Full of Chessboards
As Zhao Wuyang walked, he felt puzzled. Although the second cave was not very bright, Master Zhao Ming had cast a spell just now, so it was still bright. But after everyone came in, why did they seem unable to see? Some of them were even reaching out to grope for something. It was really weird...
As he was walking, he suddenly saw Xinyi standing motionless in front of a pedestal with her head lowered, as if she were asleep. He hurried over to her, only to find that Xinyi's eyes were open, tears streaming down her face.
Zhao Wuyang was shocked. In his opinion, Xinyi was an extremely tough and steady person. He had never imagined that she would cry like this.
"Xin...Brother Xinyi...what's wrong with you?"
He asked cautiously, but Xinyi didn't respond at all, just stood there crying silently.
This was a little unusual. Zhao Wuyang reached out and tugged at the corner of Xinyi's clothes, calling his name, but no matter how loud he called, Xinyi ignored him.
Zhao Wuyang was getting anxious now. He looked around and found that everyone else was like Xinyi. Although they were not crying like him, they were also standing still with their eyes open.
Could there be something in this cave that could captivate the mind? Why was he not harmed?
Just when Zhao Wuyang didn't know what to do, he turned his head and saw a chessboard on a pedestal not far away. On the chessboard, two black and white pieces were floating and constantly changing positions.
This thing is very strange. Could it be that everyone is like this because of it?
Zhao Wuyang hurried forward to check, only to find that the chessboard was different from what he usually saw.
The chessboard we usually see is made up of thirty-eight vertical and horizontal lines, with 361 of them intersecting to form the layout of the pieces. The center of the board is the Tianyuan, with four corner stars and side stars marking the edges. However, this chessboard has no grids, but is instead engraved with numerous dots, with the Tianyuan dot at the center being larger than the others.
This was strange; how could such a board be used for gambling? Even stranger were the black and white pieces floating on the board.
All the chess pieces he saw were illusory. Zhao Wuyang stretched out his hand, but touched nothing, and not a single piece fell on the chessboard.
Zhao Wuyang was amazed. He reached out to touch the chessboard again. He thought the chessboard was also an illusion, but he touched something real.
But before he could think about it, he saw thousands of stars suddenly flash before his eyes. The stars changed so quickly that he suddenly felt a splitting headache and he roared in unbearable pain.
The stars kept changing, impacting Zhao Wuyang's consciousness. He was in great pain, but his consciousness was clearly unable to faint.
Just when Zhao Wuyang felt that he was about to break apart, the stars suddenly stopped moving, the surrounding stars twinkled, and he himself seemed to be in the brilliant galaxy of the universe.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in my ears, pleasant and ethereal, yet a little playful.
"I was wondering why he wasn't deceived by the various vengeful spirits in Xuancang Cave. It turns out he has a Celestial Spiritual Root."
Zhao Wuyang was shocked: "Who is it? Who is talking!?"
He looked around, but all he saw was a field of bright stars.
At this moment, a flash of white light passed before his eyes, followed by a burst of laughter, and the voice spoke again:
"After all, we are just mortals. How can we withstand such changes? It's amazing."
Zhao Wuyang looked in the direction where the light passed, but saw a dazzling light. The light was like a person, sitting or squatting in this empty universe.
He covered his eyes with his hands and asked, "Who are you, girl? Why are you here?"
Hearing him ask this, the man actually laughed: "Girl? I don't know how long it has been. The last person who called me like this has probably already returned to this vast dust." As he spoke, the light seemed to float on the water and floated in front of Zhao Wuyang.
"Hmm... I'm pretty boring, but you look pretty good. Why don't I just play with you for a few days to kill time?"
Zhao Wuyang didn't react to the meaning of the words for a moment, but was confused by the man's self-proclaimed title - he looked only six or seven years old, and his voice was so nice, so how could he call himself "old man"?
Just as he was struggling, the light figure came over and touched Zhao Wuyang's forehead with his hand.
In an instant, the still stars suddenly flew and the galaxy began to spin.
Zhao Wuyang felt dazzled, as if the universe was flowing into his body, and all that passed before his eyes was the vicissitudes of life.
After a flash of light, Zhao Wuyang lost consciousness in front of his forehead, and the chessboard that was originally placed on the pedestal also disappeared without a trace.
Just as Zhao Wuyang was about to fall, a dark figure flashed out and caught him. The dark figure had long hair like a waterfall and a face as beautiful as jade, but his eyes were golden.
It’s Ajin!
When Master Zhao Ming saw A Jin, his face was full of surprise. He saw A Jin holding the unconscious Zhao Wuyang and walking out of his Fu Ling Formation easily, but he didn't know when A Jin entered the cave.
Zhenren Zhaoming bowed to Ajin, but his eyes were looking at Zhao Wuyang in his arms: Who is this child and why is he protected by the envoy of God?
Ajin nodded to Zhao Ming, then hurriedly took Zhao Wuyang out of the cave to find the spiritual incense.
Lingxiang was talking to Banxia about the various advantages of the Judge's Pen when he saw Ajin walking towards him with Zhao Wuyang in his arms.
"I don't know what got into Wuyang's body just now, and he fainted like this. You should take a look at him quickly."
Lingxiang was extremely surprised when she heard this, and hurriedly felt Zhao Wuyang's pulse. The pulse was rising and falling steadily, and there was nothing strange about it.
When Zhenren Qianyuan saw his beloved disciple like this, he didn't bother to be polite to Ajin, and hurriedly reached out his fingers to Zhao Wuyang's forehead, but the moment he touched, an invisible force pushed him away.
"Eternal Sky!"
Zhenren Qianyuan shouted loudly, and the elders were shocked and rushed over.
"It's actually the Eternal Sky!" Master Donghui originally thought that his disciple had great luck in Taoism, but he didn't expect that he would meet someone chosen by the Eternal Sky in this life. That is the power of the stars in the sky!
"The Eternal Sky?" Zhenren Chengxin was also shocked. As far as he knew, the Eternal Sky had only appeared once in the long river of history, and it was during that time that chaos came into being.
Just as everyone was staring in amazement, Lingxiang said nonchalantly, "Ah~ that chess formation. Xiao Wuyang was actually able to match that guy. I don't know whether to be happy or sad."
Upon hearing this, Ajin hurriedly asked her what she meant. Lingxiang pinched her chin and walked back and forth. After a long time, she replied: "There is nothing to worry about in the pulse, but the power of the Eternal Sky is too strong and there is no ancient record. It is difficult to say whether Wuyang can withstand it." Then she walked to Ajin and looked at Zhao Wuyang.
"Even if he's still safe after waking up, that's unknown. After all, what he saw was the truth..."
