As expected of a chess immortal. "
Yun Zhu chuckled.
Jun Yu was obsessed with the Dao of chess and actually dragged Su Zimo to play chess for an entire day and night in her room.
That was something that ordinary people would not be able to do.
Mo Qing looked at the game on the Star Chessboard and asked curiously, "Junior Brother Su is also proficient in the Dao of chess and can play against you?"
Jun Yu had a conflicted expression. "Fellow Daoist Su's talent in the Dao of chess is truly … hmm, it's a long story. “
In terms of chess skills, Su Zimo was far inferior to her in terms of layouts, formations, opportunities, midgame and combat.
After all, Su Zimo had only just grasped the rules of chess and could only be considered as a beginner.
However, in the game, Su Zimo's talent, comprehension, mentality, execution, spirit and will were on par with hers!
In fact, he might even be superior to her in certain aspects.
Furthermore, Su Zimo would often come up with astounding ideas to find a way to survive in the midst of death and break through the chessboard!
Yun Zhu was surprised as well.
She had dabbled in the Dao of chess and was not weak. However, she lost to Jun Yu in multiple games back then.
How could Su Zimo receive such a high evaluation from Jun Yu in the Dao of chess?
"This game of chess looks a little …"
Jun Yu merely swept her gaze across the Star Chessboard and frowned when she caught sight of the chess pieces on it. She wanted to say something but stopped.
Given her chess skills, there was no way she could escape alive if she had a black piece!
Or rather, this game of chess was a dead end!
Jun Yu did not avoid Yun Zhu and Mo Qing. "I've prepared nine endgames and Fellow Daoist Su has already solved six of them. Right now, the both of you are looking at the seventh."
The Nimble Chess Game was extremely profound and unpredictable.
Even if Jun Yu and Mo Qing were to watch from the side, they would not be able to tell anything.
Mo Qing was not interested in chess and merely found a cushion not far away from Su Zimo to sit cross-legged.
Yun Zhu stood at the side and stared at the endgame, trying to find a way to solve it.
However, half a day had passed, and Su Zimo still had not placed a piece. Yunzhu was clueless as well.
Not only that, but she had also stared at the Nimble Chess Game for half a day, which consumed a lot of her mental energy. It was even more tiring than fighting for half a day!
Yunzhu shook her head slightly. She closed her eyes and gradually calmed herself down.
"Fellow Daoist, how long did you take to solve this Go puzzle?"
After resting for a while, Yunzhu opened her eyes and asked Junyu.
Since Jun Yu laid out this Endgame, she definitely had a way to resolve it.
"Nearly five hundred years."
Jun Yu didn't hide anything and said a number.
Yunzhu was speechless.
Even with Jun Yu's chess skills and understanding of chess, she would still need 500 years to solve this game.
She didn't intend to continue trying.
With her chess skills, she might not be able to solve this game even after five thousand or fifty thousand years.
Yun Zhu's heart skipped a beat as she suddenly asked, "Fellow Daoist, how long did you take to clear the sixth round?"
Jun Yu was silent for a while before saying, "More than a hundred years."
The corners of Yunzhu's mouth curled up slightly. A trace of a smile flashed across her eyes, but she did not pursue the matter.
Jun Yu had just said that Su Zimo cleared six games in a day and a night.
This meant that Su Zimo took less than a day and a night to solve the sixth game.
At least in this aspect, Jun Yu had already lost to Su Zimo!
When Yunzhu discovered this matter, she was extremely interested.
However, she did not expose this matter as a form of consideration for Jun Yu's reputation.
Yunzhu had a headache looking at the seventh Exquisite Chess Game. She did not continue trying to solve it. Instead, she gave up and casually found a futon to sit on.
Yunzhu read a lot of books. Her horizons were broad and she was carefree.
In her opinion, there were many things in this world that could not be achieved even if she exhausted her entire life.
If that was the case, why should she force herself and make things difficult for herself?
Giving up at the right time was also a form of wisdom.
There were some things that others might be able to do, but so what?
In this world, everyone was different.
Jun Yu was indeed better than her in chess.
However, in terms of her understanding of the major realms, the history of the Upper Realm, and the past of many powerhouses, she was far from being a chess immortal.
Su Zimo closed his eyes and kept recalling the scene of the woman in black releasing the Nine Palace Subtle Steps. He compared it with the seventh Exquisite Chess Game in front of him.
He was able to solve the first six Exquisite Chess Games in a day and a night because of this method.
However, the further he went, the more complicated the Exquisite Chess Games became. It was filled with countless possibilities.
The number of steps that needed to be calculated and the control of the situation had far exceeded Su Zimo's imagination.
After deducing for half a day, not only was he unable to solve the game, his mind was already in chaos.
Su Zimo pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he took out a seed from his storage bag and held it in his palm.
The moment he held the seed, his mind quickly regained clarity. The complicated and complicated clues were gradually sorted out.
This seed was the Bodhi Seed that he had snatched in the Jade Heaven Immortal Region!
The Bodhi Seed was very beneficial to cultivation.
Increasing one's cultivation speed was secondary.
The most important thing was that holding the Bodhi Seed could greatly increase a cultivator's comprehension. It could always maintain a clear mind and sharp mind!
The Bodhi Seed originated from the Bodhi Tree, one of the three sacred trees of Buddhism.
Legend has it that at the beginning of the Upper Realm, Buddha meditated under the Bodhi Tree for seven days and seven nights. He defeated the temptation of countless evil spirits. At dawn, he achieved enlightenment and became Buddha!
The three sacred trees of Buddhism each had their own origins and were all related to Buddha.
Legend has it that Buddha was born under the Ashoka Tree, attained enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree, and attained nirvana under the Sara Tree.
Because of that, these three trees were passed down by Buddha and eventually became the three sacred trees that protected the Pure Land of Bliss!
Su Zimo held the Bodhi Seed and recalled the process of the woman in black releasing the Nine Palace Subtle Steps. He did not miss a single detail and verified it.
Unknowingly, the sun had set and night had fallen.
Su Zimo held the Bodhi Seed in one hand and the black chess piece in the other. His expression was focused and he maintained this posture without moving.
Finally, at the break of dawn, Su Zimo placed the black chess piece with a loud thud!
"He's finally done it!"
Yun Zhu was invigorated and looked over hurriedly.
When she saw that move, Jun Yu's eyes lit up.
That move was the key to deciphering the seventh Exquisite Chess Game!
However, if he wanted to decipher the entire Exquisite Chess Game, that was only the first move and it was far from enough.
After that, Su Zimo had to make at least six more moves. Every single move must not be wrong for him to be able to decipher the game!
Jun Yu did not say anything and placed the white chess piece.
Su Zimo's second move was extremely fast and he did not think at all, as though he had everything planned out!
Jun Yu was expressionless.
Su Zimo's second move was not wrong either.
She continued to place her piece.
Su Zimo responded swiftly and placed his third piece.
In the span of a few breaths, the two of them placed seven pieces in succession. Jun Yu watched from the side in a daze and even felt as though she could not keep up with their thoughts!
However, by the time both of them were done placing their pieces, she looked at the game again and realized that the black pieces had already broken free from the encirclement of the white pieces.
From now on, the world was vast and there was much to be done!
