879 Crossing Sword Arrays with Sword Venerable Yuan Tian (2)
Zhuge Lu’s expression was solemn. He walked to the old man and sat down. Then he said in a low voice, “Old Chen, let’s play a round.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly put down the chessboard.
Spiritual light gathered around him and turned into figures.
“Zhuge Qi is crazy about playing chess with me. It’s been decades since we last met.
“Hehe, Zhuge is still willing to come and play chess at Broken Cloud Palace. How rare.”
Zhuge Lu did not speak. He raised his hand and placed a black chess piece on the chessboard.
The white-bearded old man chuckled and placed a chess piece down.
Before he could place his chess piece, Zhuge Lu had already placed the next black stone.
“Eh?” The old man opposite him revealed a strange expression and slowly put down the white chess piece in his hand.
This time, Zhuge Lu’s black pieces were even faster.
Strange expressions flashed across the faces of the surrounding people.
The white-bearded old man frowned and looked at Zhuge Lu.
Zhuge Lu closed his eyes. The black and white chess pieces outside the chessboard flew everywhere. When they filled the chessboard, he had nowhere to place a black chess piece.
“142 moves to determine the universe, but the clues were already evident by move 34. Zhuge, this person’s prowess in formations and tactics surpasses yours by quite a bit,” the white-bearded elder gazed at the chessboard and spoke softly.
The surrounding figures also lowered their heads and looked at the chessboard carefully.
“The Guangyuan Sword Sect is well-versed in the sword formation, and the Great Elder is the best in it. You, Zhuge, are also one of the best. To be able to defeat you in 34 moves, could it be that you are playing against the Great Elder?” A black-robed old man said.
On the other side, an old man shook his head and said, “With such Array Dao power, I’m afraid he’s no weaker than the Great Elder.”
Zhuge Lu shook his head and did not answer. He raised his hand and swept all the chess pieces back into place. Then he placed another chess piece.
The white-bearded old man pondered for a moment before placing a chess piece down.
However, just as he placed his chess piece, a black chess piece had already landed on the chessboard.
The white-bearded old man was stunned.
When the white pieces fell, Zhuge Lu placed a black piece in the air and shook his head. “I can’t deduce this step either…”
He looked up and was slightly stunned.
Whether it was the white-bearded old man opposite him or the surrounding onlookers, they were all staring at him.
“I don’t understand this chess game.” Zhuge Lu threw the black chess piece away regretfully.
The white-bearded old man’s expression was solemn as he slowly placed the white piece in his hand in front of the black piece.
“Zhuge, you comprehended karma before entering the Divine Transformation Realm. You are not bad.” The white-bearded old man said softly, causing Zhuge Lu’s entire body to tremble.
“Karma?
“This is karma?”
His cultivation had only just reached the stage of nascent soul, and he had never thought he would one day comprehend the power of karma.
He had just replayed the chess game between Han Muye and him.
Now that he thought about it, there seemed to be a mysterious power in it. He wanted to grasp it, but he couldn’t find it.
“Congratulations.
“Sigh, the opportunity has really arrived.”
The surrounding people were envious.
Although the Guangyuan Sword Sect had many powerful experts, there were few who had stepped into the realm of the heavens and comprehended the cycle of karma.
Among these people, only an old man in a green robe with a sword on his back had comprehended karma and stepped into the Sword Dao Half-Sage realm.
“Zhuge, this is your opportunity. As long as you study it carefully, this game will definitely help you achieve karma.”
The green-robed elder smiled and said softly.
The Guangyuan Sword Sect was like this. The relationship between the sect and other sects was much more harmonious.
Zhuge Lu nodded and looked at the chess piece in his hand.
“Senior Brother Yang Xian, if, if we calculate the position of the chess piece after 10 hours, is this still karma?”
Ten hours later, he would casually toss the chess pieces.
Hearing his words, the surrounding people shook their heads.
How could there be such a person in the world?
The green-robed elder shook his head and laughed. “This isn’t karma.
“I’m afraid you’ll have to comprehend the supreme power of time and space.”
At this point, he waved his hand. “I’m afraid that the top powerhouses of the Upper Three Heavens are not even worthy of carrying the shoes of such a powerhouse.”
With that, his figure slowly dissipated.
The others did not stay in the Broken Cloud Palace.
As for what Zhuge Lu said, they did not take it to heart.
It was impossible for such an expert to exist in this world.
Zhuge Lu would not have really met such an expert.
However, they did not know that Zhuge Lu’s heart was already in turmoil.
The supreme beings wielded power over time and space.
Did the chess piece that landed 10 hours later really travel through time and space?
He suddenly stood up and stepped out of the Broken Cloud Palace.
The white-bearded old man in Broken Cloud Palace shook his head and slowly put away the chess piece in front of him.
“This Zhuge Qi is so unruly…”
Zhuge Lu flew straight to the Guangyuan Sword Sect’s hall. As soon as he landed in the hall, he saw the Sword Venerable Yuan Tian and Han Muye standing opposite each other.
Sword lights flashed around them.
“What a coincidence.”
Sword Venerable Yuan Tian said calmly.
“What a coincidence.”
Han Muye whispered.
“Boom!”
Zhuge Lu’s body went out of control, and he was suspended in the middle of the hall by the sword light.
His face was pale as he looked at the boundless sword radiance rising from Sword Venerable Yuan Tian.
The Great Elder wanted to kill him with his sword…
Turning around slowly, he saw an endless stream of light that he had never seen before.
This Young Master Gu also wanted to kill him?
“Clang—”
The long sword vibrated, and the sword radiance on the Sword Venerable Yuan Tian’s body stabbed towards Zhuge Lu.
Zhuge Lu closed his eyes in despair.
“Clang—”
The sound of two swords colliding could be heard.
Zhuge Lu gently opened his eyes and saw two swords intertwined in front of him.
Then he regretted opening his eyes.
Countless streaks of light slashed down from the Sword Venerable Yuan Tian’s body.
Every sword seemed to want to cut him into pieces.
Did the Great Elder’s sword need to go through so much trouble to kill him?
“Clang—”
“Clang—”
Countless sword radiances clashed against Sword Venerable Yuan Tian’s sword.
Sword light intersected between heaven and earth.
Zhuge Lu would never forget this scene.
Countless swords collided in front of him.
These sword lights had no trajectory, no origin, and no end.
“No, karma…”
With his eyes wide open, Zhuge Lu stared at the sword lights.
These swords seemed to have appeared out of nowhere and were untraceable.
There was no cause and effect.
Breaking through space.
A quarter of an hour went by.
Two hours.
One day.
A year.
A hundred years!
Zhuge Lu felt like he had stood in the sword light for a hundred years.
“Boom!”
The sword light shattered and dispersed, and the wind and clouds were light.
Han Muye and Sword Venerable Yuan Tian stopped at the same time.
Zhuge Lu slowly landed, then looked at Han Muye and Sword Venerable Yuan Tian in confusion.
His eyes revealed endless vicissitudes.
“Go. It’s your opportunity to comprehend as much as you can.” Sword Venerable Yuan Tian waved his hand and Zhuge Lu’s figure was already outside the hall.
He turned and looked at the stone steps in front of him.
At this moment, he seemed to have seen through the growth and dryness of the grass on the stone steps.
Karma.
Comprehension!
“Martial Uncle, why aren’t you entering the main hall? I think you’ve been standing here for 15 minutes.”
Behind him, a green-robed disciple whispered.
Standing here for 15 minutes?
From the beginning to the end, he did not step into the hall.
Those hundred years of time were all illusory?
He turned around and looked at the green-robed disciple.
“You’re not bad.” Zhuge Lu raised his hand and handed over a long sword before slowly leaving.
Not bad?
The disciple was at a loss as he looked at the middle-grade spiritual weapon in his hand.
Is Martial Uncle Zhuge actually so generous? he wondered.
Is he rich?
…
In the hall, Han Muye and Sword Venerable Yuan Tian sat opposite each other.
“Time and space. I didn’t expect you to have already grasped the trajectory of this layer of power.”
Sword Venerable Yuan Tian looked at Han Muye with a strange expression. “Other than the Upper Three Heavens and a few hidden Divine Venerables who have such a realm, no one else in this world has such ability.”
“I’m curious. Who did you meet?”
Who did I meet?
Han Muye looked up at Sword Venerable Yuan Tian.
The same face, the same temperament.
The only difference was that Sword Venerable Yuan Tian in front of him could not use the sword that could easily shatter his soul.
Sword Venerable Yuan Tian did not have the upper hand when the two of them fought.
Instead, Han Muye used the Sword Dao sensed in his soul to break Sword Venerable Yuan Tian’s sword array.
Transmigrating through time and space, even if it was just a superficial grasp, could break the sword formation of the mighty swordsmen in the world.
“Perhaps you’ve met that person before, Sword Venerable. Perhaps we’ll meet again in the future.”
Han Muye shook his head, and a ball of golden light flashed in his hand.
“Sword Venerable, the ancient Divine Emperor’s sword and the treasure vault of the Divine Court. Which one do you think will allow the ninth heaven of the Immortal Source World to enter?”
