Tang Zheng looked up. Above his head was the roof, so he couldn't see the stars. However, he could see that the sun was high up in the sky. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Since we're absorbing the power of the stars, how do we begin when there are no stars in the daytime?"
Ji Wuxiang smiled and said, "The stars in the sky don't disappear just because it's daytime. They're just blocked by the sunlight. They're still there. Moreover, the sun is also one of the stars. So, your worries aren't a problem."
Tang Zheng suddenly saw the light and angrily said: "This is me being blind and thinking wrongly."
"If there are no other questions, let's begin." After Ji Wuxiang finished speaking, he saw that Tang Zheng didn't have any objections. He nodded to the other players. The players' expressions were solemn. They looked at each other in tacit understanding. Then, they stretched out their hands. A black chess piece appeared in their hands, and they dropped it on the chessboard with a thump.
After the piece was placed, Tang Zheng immediately felt a mysterious energy emerge spontaneously. This energy didn't ripple from the chessboard. Instead, it descended from the sky and penetrated the roof.
Tang Zheng subconsciously looked up. The roof didn't change at all, but that mysterious feeling was very obvious and couldn't be shaken off.
He immediately thought of Ji Wuxiang's words. He said that once the Celestial Chess connected with the power of the Big Dipper, he would definitely feel it from the unseen world.
Ji Wuxiang's prophecy was amazing. He actually guessed correctly.
He couldn't help but take a deep look at Ji Wuxiang. He found that Ji Wuxiang's expression was serious as he stared at the numerous chessboards. He was like a general commanding thousands of soldiers and horses. These chessboards were his battlefield. He had no distractions.
Tang Zheng also hurriedly collected his thoughts and focused all his attention on the power of the stars.
Gradually, more and more power of the stars fell from the sky. Tang Zheng felt as if the air was about to become viscous. It was as if it had turned into seawater. The rich energy made his heart tremble.
He closed his eyes. He didn't use his eyes to see, but relied entirely on his instinctive perception. Once he closed his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, his perception of the power of the stars would be especially obvious.
Tang Zheng moved his head and tried to guide the power of the stars according to Ji Wuxiang's instructions. He activated his Zhen Qi and circulated his power. He pointed out a finger and a trace of Zhen Qi shot out from his fingertip. It pushed the power of the stars in front of him and infused it into the corresponding point on the chessboard.
Puff!
When his zhenqi collided with the power of the stars, the power of the stars was like seawater. Under the external force, it separated on its own and did not enter the chessboard as he had expected.
Huh?
Tang Zheng was shocked. He originally thought that it would be very smooth, but now it seemed that he had underestimated the difficulty.
Once again, he concentrated and held his breath. He tried a few more times, but his True Qi still couldn't move the power of the stars. What should he do?
He frowned subconsciously.
Ji Wuxiang looked at him and said, "Young Master Tang, did you sense the power of the stars?"
Tang Zheng still had his eyes closed. He nodded slightly, but the dignified look on his face did not disappear.
"Young Master Tang, you don't need to worry too much. You just need to follow your heart. We believe that you will succeed." Ji Wuxiang's heart moved as he guessed Tang Zheng's predicament.
Tang Zheng remained calm and collected. He was unwilling to admit defeat and this time he did not rashly activate his Zhen Qi. Instead, he decided to find another way.
Since the power of the stars and the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth were of the same origin, then would he be able to communicate with the power of the stars? This was just like how he communicated with the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. In this way, he didn't need to urge his Zhen Qi to move the power of the stars. He only needed to move his mind, and the power of the stars could move according to his will.
Of course, this was only a beautiful wish of his. Whether or not it was possible still needed to be tested.
He got rid of all distracting thoughts and entered a mysterious state as he tried to communicate with the power of the stars. This was many times more difficult than communicating with the spiritual energy of the world. This was because as long as one was a cultivator, they could communicate with the spiritual energy of the world. However, there were many differences between the power of the stars and the spiritual energy of the world. He didn't know if other people had done it before, but he had already experienced the difficulties.
However, what made him depressed was that no matter how he activated his True Qi, he couldn't communicate with the power of the stars. Time passed by minute by minute and he was about to lose all hope.
"I don't believe that I can't do anything when the power of the stars is right in front of me." He thought, unwilling to admit defeat. His mind moved and he remembered what the demon once said.
The Scarlet Lunar Beast relied on absorbing the essence of the moon to increase its cultivation. The essence of the moon was also a type of power of the stars. Since the Scarlet Lunar Beast could communicate with the essence of the sun and moon, then he should bring it here. Perhaps there would be an unexpected gain.
However, it was too late now. He was not prepared to give up and decided to continue trying.
Over and over again, he was about to lose all hope.
If it was an ordinary person, they would have given up long ago. However, Tang Zheng's persistence was incomparable to ordinary people. He was able to achieve his current success not only because of his opportunities, but also because of his tenacity and indomitable character.
The chess player placed another chess piece. An even more powerful power of the stars rushed down from the roof, filling up this small space.
Suddenly, the Ancient Clear Heaven Scroll started to operate on its own.
Tang Zheng was shocked. He wanted to stop the Ancient Clear Heaven Scroll immediately. However, just as this thought appeared, he immediately stopped it. He suspiciously sensed the situation in his body.
The Ancient Clear Heaven Scroll had always been very mysterious. In the past, Tian Chanzi and his enemies had tried so hard to obtain it, even at the cost of their lives. As for the origin of the Ancient Clear Heaven Scroll, even Tian Chanzi had no idea.
However, in short, the Ancient Clear Heaven Scroll was not an ordinary technique.
Tang Zheng had been cultivating for so long, but he had never discovered the peculiarities of the Ancient Clear Heaven Scroll. Now that he saw it start to operate on its own, he seemed to have guessed that something was going to happen.
The Ancient Clear Heaven Scroll ran for seven small circulations. Just as he was completely puzzled, there was a roar in his body. His True Qi was like a surging river flowing in his meridians. In the end, it was all sucked into his Yuanying.
All of his meridians had become empty, without a single trace of True Qi.
"What's going on?" He was at a loss.
However, before he could react, the power of the stars in all directions seemed to have found a vent and rushed into his meridians. It was like a dry desert that had encountered a storm and was instantly filled with vitality.
Rumble!
A loud rumbling sound came from within his meridians, as if it was the sound of a surging river, causing one's heart to surge. Tang Zheng fiercely opened his eyes, which flashed with a trace of light as he raised his head to look.
There was a whirlpool on the roof. It was like the clouds had been stirred up, collapsing into a whirlpool. He was right below the whirlpool.
The mighty power of the stars poured down from the whirlpool and poured into his body. The rumble continued for a long time.
Tang Zheng was agitated. His face was red. He was so excited that he did not know what to say.
This was beyond his imagination. What exactly was going on?
Why was the Ancient Clear Heaven Scroll able to communicate with the power of the stars, and even absorb the power of the stars into his body? Moreover, he had already sensed that the power of the stars, under the effect of the Ancient Clear Heaven Scroll, was rapidly transforming into true qi.
This was the same as when he absorbed the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and transformed it into True Qi. However, the True Qi transformed from the power of the stars contained an even greater amount of energy. It was expanding his meridians little by little. His True Qi was rising steadily. His body was like a big balloon that was quickly filled with True Qi.
Ji Wuxiang looked at Tang Zheng with a burning gaze and asked, "Young Master Tang, what's going on?"
Tang Zheng did not answer because he had reached a critical moment. His True Qi was rapidly rising and had reached its peak. Finally, he broke through the bottleneck in one fell swoop.
Tang Zheng's eyes were covered with a layer of purple light. He could clearly feel his cultivation soar. He had risen by two levels and had unexpectedly reached the Sixth Stage Yuanying. He could clearly see his Yuanying face becoming clearer. His limbs were no different from a real person's. Even his meridians were sprouting little by little.
This feeling was very subtle. It was as if he was creating a new life.
Once he broke through, the speed at which he absorbed the power of the stars decreased by a lot. The vortex above his head also dissipated. Ji Wuxiang stared at the top of his head with a burning gaze. Then, he looked at Tang Zheng. It was obvious that he had realized something.
"Young Master Tang!" He gently called out again.
"Don't worry. I will now draw the power of the stars into the Heavenly Chess. You take control of the situation." Tang Zheng lightly said.
Ji Wuxiang's face was filled with excitement as he said, "I am already prepared. Young Master Tang, please make your move."
Tang Zheng's finger pointed forward. This time, there was no True Qi bursting out from his finger. However, the power of the stars between heaven and earth was drawn.
Sou, sou, sou …
The power of the stars turned into several streaks and rapidly shot towards the corresponding points on the chessboard. In an instant, the chessboard soared into the sky and enveloped everyone's heads.
These streaks of light intertwined together and finally condensed into a huge chessboard in midair. The crisscrossing chessboard sparkled and emitted a strange aura.
Tang Zheng could not help but raise his head to look. He was stunned by this scene. It turned out that after drawing the power of the stars into the chessboard, it was as if the chessboard had come to life.
Ji Wuxiang's face was filled with excitement as he raised his head to look. His eyes flickered with an indescribable expression as he muttered to himself, "It's finally done. It's a great success!"
The other Go players also changed their usual wooden expressions, and their faces became lively. They all looked up at the same time, unable to take their eyes off the Go board.
Kacha!
Suddenly, the chessboard in front of the players cracked and fell apart. Finally, with a few rumbles, all the chessboards turned into pieces.
Tang Zheng was shocked. However, the others were not surprised. It was as if they already knew this would happen.
"Hahaha, the Heavenly Chess is complete!" Ji Wuxiang raised his head to the sky and laughed loudly. He was different from his usual reserved self.
Tang Zheng looked at him with a burning gaze. He felt that at this moment, he seemed to be a little different. However, he could not pinpoint the exact feeling.
