"My friend, you actually lost."
The old tree spirit was quite surprised.
At first, he thought that Li Yi would definitely win this topic. After all, how could Panhu, a congenital god, compare with him in terms of being a human? Even though he had peeked into Li Changsheng's past, he was still one point behind the real person.
But things went against one's wishes, as if Xu He had developed a rebellious consciousness, always leading things to the worst direction.
"Why can't I lose?" Li Yi asked back.
"But he is like you. Although you have never given Xu He any methods, or even your own knowledge. But as the situation develops, as if by chance, Xu He gradually comprehends your knowledge."
The old tree spirit looked at Panhu again and said, "Daoyou are the same."
The rules they set at the beginning were that no skills could be taught, and the two chess pieces were completely mortal. The biggest similarity probably came from their personalities. Influenced by the two of them, there were huge differences between the chess pieces.
Li Shengxian is pragmatic, flexible and meticulous.
Xu is an idealist, pursuing the wrong system at the wrong time, and based on the human readings he has read recently, he can be called a dreamer.
If he did not rely on the power of the nobles after the rebellion, he would have lost. With a group of peasants who knew nothing, they would only cause destruction. However, after a failure, Xu He obtained some of Li Changsheng's knowledge.
There is never a shortage of idealists in the world; the only thing we fear is that these people are capable.
Xu He succeeded, and occupied most of the country with an almost invincible momentum, and the people were more harmonious than the aristocratic families. In the early days, Li Shengxian was still struggling to integrate the power of the aristocratic families, and the common people's army had already completed the top-down power structure.
If there had not been a rebellion, the imperial court would have been the first to be conquered.
"As far as being a human being is concerned, Fellow Daoist Li is definitely a step above the rest, but why did someone suddenly betray him?"
The old tree spirit couldn't understand why, even though he had lived for another 100,000 years, his concern for humans was never that of a mortal.
I have only recently begun to understand this.
"Daoyou, are you cheating?"
Facing the old tree's suspicious gaze, Panhu shook his head slightly, not getting annoyed, and said calmly: "The life span of mortals is only seventy years, and they are full of seven emotions and six desires, so it is difficult to control their own desires. Therefore, the cultivation of the human race in later generations all starts with training the mind."
“But there are few people who are free from desires and requests. Even those who have entered the Tao cannot escape the seven emotions and six desires.”
"Xu He lost because he was not like an ordinary person, and he demanded that ordinary people be like him. Even if this is correct from the perspective of ordinary people, it is also what those high-ranking officials and generals pursued in the beginning. Many times, people do not hate privileges, but that the privileges do not belong to them. If someone prevents them from exercising their privileges, then the benefactor can also become the enemy who killed their father."
"The reason why Fellow Daoist Li lost to me..."
Panhu looked at Li Yi in front of him with a calm expression. He had no aura at all and looked like an ordinary human being. Even his superficial appearance was so ordinary.
Just like a common mortal.
"He is the most mortal, yet the most extraordinary."
Extraordinary, he could only use this word to describe Li Yi. Under his ordinary appearance and endless power, he had a heart that would never yield.
Xu He does not have the great power of Li Changsheng, but he has a transcendent heart and dares to go against all mundane things and even the laws of nature.
He lost, but he also won.
As Panhu recalled the game of chess, his aura showed signs of rising, and his control over thunder magic even reached a higher level.
Such a fluctuation of aura naturally could not be hidden from Li Yi and the old tree.
The old tree's expression changed slightly.
Through Xu He, this person further improved his understanding of Li Changsheng's Taoism.
Li Yi's expression remained calm as he began to explain, "Those who imitate me become strong, and those who resemble me die. Xu He doesn't have my strength, and he has been infected by my character, so he will naturally lose."
The old tree said: "If he hadn't been influenced by your knowledge, he would have lost even more easily. Did you never intend to win from the beginning?"
"Why do you think so?" Li Yi smiled, "I tried my best every time, but I never won."
Li Yi also has his own insights based on his views on me.
Li Changsheng had never won in his life. He just walked out again and again like usual, and was beaten back.
From the very beginning, he did not act in accordance with the will of heaven and earth.
Having said this, the Little Peach Forest fell silent again.
Panhu had closed his eyes at some point and sat cross-legged on the ground, digesting his recent insights, his aura steadily rising.
This kind of improvement is not a realm, but a pure level of power. There are three, six, and nine levels of Saint Kings, and Panhu, a natural god, obviously has not reached the extreme.
The old tree spirit made a face and almost made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Li Yi turned a blind eye and lowered his head to play with his mobile phone.
After half a month, Panhu finally opened his eyes. A flash of lightning passed by, and then everything returned to calm.
'There's no stopping me.'
Panhu was slightly puzzled. It was against the rules to practice cultivation before the battle. He postponed the game, and Li Changsheng could have woken him up for both emotional and rational reasons.
"How arrogant."
"Fellow Daoist, can we start a game of chess?"
Panhu nodded, and this time he was the one to open the market.
With a wave of his hand, the chessboard disappeared, and was replaced by a larger chessboard. The scope was no longer limited to the mortal world, but turned to the entire world of cultivation.
About 1,000 years have passed since the historical fragment captured in the previous game of chess, and it is still an era when there are many sects.
Li Yi saw some familiar sects, Shangqing Palace, Wanfo Mountain, the three religions of Buddhism, Taoism and Demon, etc. Except for the different people, the layout of each party was similar to when he entered and exited the cultivation world.
The top sects have been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and generally they follow a routine to recruit disciples and teach the way, so their teachings won't be too bad. Even if there is a gap in the middle, they can still make the transition with the help of treasures like the Heavenly Sword.
