Chapter 1014 - 921: Joining the Game
Tianjiang Continent.
The Chess Ancestor had activated the chessboard that he had modified.
At this moment, an overpowering intent of chess was circulating, and amidst the seven white rainbows, terrifying lines of black and white chess emerged, as if they intended to disintegrate the seven white rainbows and trap them entirely!
“Indeed there are twenty-eight variations… This twenty-eighth one… It’s not simple at all!”
The Chess Ancestor said gravely.
Beside him, the Qi Zun Evil Corpse was pondering.
“The twenty-eighth variation… The reason it’s difficult to predict is perhaps because it can connect to other variations?”
He murmured to himself.
“Chess Ancestor!”
At that time, Qi Fenglin suddenly stepped forward and said,
“Reporting to Chess Ancestor, the Grass Ancestor and Buddha Ancestor are also on their way…”
“However, it seems… they want to stop you from breaking the formation!”
He had just received news that Qing Shenglan and Shi Xin had both located their respective elders and were bringing them here.
However, the attitudes of the Grass Ancestor and Buddha Ancestor… didn’t seem to be on the side of the Grey Mist Sea.
Thus, he intended to sow discord, prompting the Chess Ancestor to take action and kill the Grass Ancestor and Buddha Ancestor.
It would be for the best.
“Heh heh… Stop me?!”
The Chess Ancestor scoffed and said,
“Let them come. Even if I haven’t broken through the twenty-eighth variation, at this moment, my Array Plate, to kill those two, is as easy as turning over my hand!”
Violence and killing intent filled his right eye!
…
Soon enough.
The Grass Ancestor was the first to arrive.
With his presence, the skies of Tianjiang Continent were filled with green light, astonishingly vast, compelling all living beings to look up involuntarily.
“Is this… the travel of a Supreme?”
“How terrifying. When has there been such an existence in this world?”
“The green Dao fills the sky… Could that be the legendary Green Honor? Has his evil corpse appeared?”
Many in the world exclaimed in shock.
And the Grass Ancestor had already landed before Sacrificial World Mountain.
Looking at the seven white rainbows ahead, a grave expression flashed in the Grass Ancestor’s eyes as he said,
“Goodness, could it really be related to that woman? These seven white rainbows… could indeed be left by her!”
The Grass Ancestor couldn’t help speaking.
“Greetings to the Grass Ancestor,”
At that time, Qi Fenglin advanced to meet him, and with a slight smile, he said,
“The formation at The End of Myriad Paths is about to be broken. Would the Grass Ancestor care to witness it from within?”
The Grass Ancestor shook his head and said,
“Do you think you can break her formation? Only chives would believe that.”
But within the area covered by the seven white rainbows, a voice came through:
“Grass Ancestor, old man, if you dare, come in. Who said I can’t break her game?”
It was the voice of the Chess Ancestor.
Upon hearing this, the Grass Ancestor was surprised and said,
“Chess Ancestor… You opened your right eye already? So arrogant? Alright, alright, I’ll come in and see how she beats you up!”
Having said this, the Grass Ancestor stepped into the great formation.
But the moment he entered, his expression changed drastically.
Because the terrifying path of chess had already changed, and he was immediately besieged by countless chess lines!
“Chess Ancestor, old man, what are you doing?!”
The Grass Ancestor was shocked.
He was full of apprehension because he realized that the realms emanating from these chess lines… exceeded that of anyone mortal!
—Although the Array Plate used by the ten overlords to break the great situation of The End of Myriad Paths could not exhaust all twenty-eight variations, it had condensed the power of all ten overlords.
They trapped the Grass Ancestor… For a moment, he could not break free.
“Stop your nonsense. Once I figure out this twenty-eighth variation, I’m going to kill you!”
The Chess Ancestor spoke brusquely.
…
Then, not long afterward.
The Buddha Ancestor also arrived.
However, his arrival was silent, unlike the Grass Ancestor’s flamboyance that filled the entire sky with the grand Dao.
“Buddha Ancestor… Chess Ancestor has already set up the array and is about to break through The End of Myriad Paths’ formation. Please come inside!”
Shi Xin spoke reverently.
However, the Old Monk, looking at the seven white rainbows ahead, said,
“If the Old Monk’s guess is correct, Chess Ancestor Qi Shuangming must have opened his right eye and been bewitched by demons.”
“Murderous intent is clearly present here. He aims not only to solve The End of Myriad Paths chess array but even wants to lure me inside and kill the Old Monk.”
He spoke indifferently.
——Qi Shuangming was indeed the Chess Ancestor’s name.
This caused Shi Xin, Qi Fenglin, and others to turn pale with shock.
This Old Monk… truly had the wisdom to see through flames!
He effortlessly saw through the conspiracy they had laid.
Qi Fenglin’s expression darkened instantly. With things like this, Buddha Ancestor would definitely not enter, and perhaps, a change of events would occur.
But, just as they were worried, the Old Monk spoke:
“If I don’t enter hell, who will?”
After saying this, he suddenly took a step forward and directly entered the chess array.
Qi Fenglin and the others were all baffled and puzzled.
The Old Monk stepped into the great array, and immediately, countless lines of chess descended around him.
“Old monk, have you gone mad?”
Not far ahead, amidst a mass of chess lines controlled by it, a terrifying green light burst forth around Herb Ancestor Jiu Bian, who was searching for a way to break the array. Seeing the Old Monk enter, he said,
“Are you coming in here to seek death?”
The Old Monk merely smiled slightly and replied,
“Why speak such words, Brother Dog Tail? You and I have known fellow Daoist Qi Shuangming for a time, and now he seeks a great death, challenging the one at The End of Myriad Paths… How could I not come in to recite a scripture for him, to help liberate his soul?”
Herb Ancestor Jiu Bian suddenly became furious and said,
“Old monk, I’ll say it again, my name is Jiu Bian, not Dog Tail!”
The Old Monk paused for a moment and said,
“I forgot, I forgot. It’s the Old Monk’s mistake; who asked you to transform from Foxtail Grass? It’s hard for the Old Monk to change his habit of calling… Brother Dog Tail, please don’t mind it.”
Herb Ancestor Jiu Bian: “…”
…
In the Wu Huang Realm, inside a small courtyard.
“Are there strong figures on top of these two chess pieces?”
Jiang Li sensed it, his gaze slightly shifting as he spoke,
“It’s similar to the presence of Senior Brother Qing Chen and Brother Lu Rang…”
“Have their past lives also gone?”
He was suddenly startled.
What exactly was his master planning with this grand strategy?
His own past life, as well as those of Lu Rang and Qing Chen, had all appeared.
“Master could easily set up an insoluble situation but only placed seven pieces. He… He did it on purpose.”
Jiang Li felt as though he had come to understand his master’s intention!
If Master placed just one more piece, Jiang Li believed that aside from Miss Yun Xi and himself, no one else in the world would be able to solve it!
But in that case, the meaning would be lost, as no one would dare to enter the arrangement!
Now, had everyone who should enter already done so?
Was it time for his Master to wrap things up?
He suddenly began to look forward to it!
“Jiang Li Junior Brother, this chess arrangement… why does it make me feel… a desire to jump in?”
At this time, Qing Chen and Lu Rang suddenly approached and asked.
Although they did not understand the chess array, they both had a feeling about it.
Jiang Li immediately informed them about the situation with the chess arrangement.
“…It’s possible that your past lives’ Evil Corpses, as well as the experts guarding them, have all entered into the reality of the chess array.”
Upon hearing this, Qing Chen and Lu Rang were both extremely astonished.
“Master… He’s really making big moves.”
Qing Chen couldn’t help but speak.
“That means, there are a lot of people in the real-life chess array… If I plant some potted grass on top of this chess arrangement, then would the people in the reality chess array have green lights coming out of their heads?”
Lu Rang’s eyes lit up, as if he had found something fun.
Jiang Li:
“…”
At this moment, the voice of Wu Xiaokun rang from outside:
“Is Senior Li here?”
