Just as the crowd was waiting quietly, the surface of the Mirror Light Lake suddenly started churning.
When they had first arrived at the Mirror Light Lake, there had been people who had tried to dive to the bottom of the lake. However, the Mirror Light Lake seemed to have some sort of restriction. Regardless of whether it was a Martial Honorable or a Martial Sage, they could only dive ten meters into the water before they were forced back up by a terrifying pressure.
That horrifying pressure was very strong. No one dared to continue diving because they knew that if they continued diving, they would encounter an unpredictable danger. When they thought of the Immortal's inheritance, they all returned to the shore and waited quietly.
Just as the surface of the lake churned and huge waves surged, a majestic castle slowly floated out of the lake.
When the crowd saw the castle, they were all shocked. The Mirror Light Lake was very big. It was so big that the people on both sides could not see each other. They could only see a black dot.
The entire castle was made of red copper, and it emitted a brilliant luster. It was like an immortal palace, and there was a layer of light around the castle. Water flowed around the copper palace, and it gave people a very strong shock.
With the appearance of the castle, the surface of the water churned once more. Chess pieces, each over a thousand meters tall, appeared before everyone's eyes. In the end, a gigantic Go board appeared.
The Go board had the Chu River and Han River drawn on it. It gave off a misty luster.
The Life and Death Chess was drawn according to the rules of Chinese Chess. No one on the Martial God Continent recognized it. This made it even more mysterious.
Just as the crowd was shocked by the scene before them, a scroll floated out of the castle. That scroll gave off a boundless light. As it slowly opened, a row of illusory words floated out. The words were the rules of Chinese Chess.
When the crowd saw the large words floating in the air, they were all eager to give it a try.
"All of you, this Go game is a game that I created after comprehending the nature of the world. Anyone who can solve it will receive my inheritance. This Immortal awaits the fated one." An awe-inspiring voice resounded in the crowd's ears. It caused their minds to churn and they were unable to calm down for a long time.
Shenlang sat in the Ancient Copper Palace with a cup of wine in his hand. He quietly looked at the crowd outside through the projection in the castle.
"Ying Shuntian, I'll leave the matters outside to you," Shenlang said indifferently to Ying Shuntian.
Ying Shuntian answered respectfully. Then, he went to the projection and got ready.
The people of the various forces outside did not take the initiative to act. Instead, they quietly observed the situation.
At this time, a Martial King Realm rogue cultivator flew up and came to the chessboard.
That person cupped his fists and said respectfully, "Upper Immortal, my name is Qiu Shan. I'm here to break the situation."
"Yes, but if the person who breaks the game fails, then …"
"Die!!!"
A murderous intent that made everyone tremble came out from the castle.
Then, on the chessboard opposite Qiu Shan, a chess piece with the symbol 'Cannon' slowly moved to the back of a chess piece.
Cold sweat appeared on the rogue cultivator's forehead as he used all his strength to move his chess piece.
Boom!
A powerful aura burst out from the chessboard, and Qiu Shan was turned into ashes without even being able to resist.
With the death of the rogue cultivator, the life and death chess board returned to its original state.
Seeing this scene, the crowd's expression changed. It turned out that the life and death chess board was not only about playing chess, but it also required strength. If one could not withstand every move of the chess piece, they would be killed by the aura emitted by the chess piece.
This made those who were not strong enough feel a chill in their hearts. Some of them were not as strong as Qiu Shan. If they rashly went up, they would die even more miserably.
However, the fear of death did not suppress the greed in the crowd. After all, if they succeeded, they might be able to soar to the sky and obtain the immortal's inheritance and rule the world.
During this time, a few strong rogue cultivators went up to compete. However, among those people, the strongest one was only at the third step and was mercilessly killed.
Looking at the scarlet blood floating on the lake, no one dared to casually go up. Instead, they secretly studied the key to breaking the situation.
After a few rounds of testing, the crowd discovered a few key points to breaking the situation. The first was to have the strength to withstand the chessboard's aura, and the second was to be able to win against the opponent.
Although these two points were very simple, they were also the most difficult. This life and death chess board was set up by the immortal, so their chess skills must be very strong. They were just beginning to dabble in this kind of chess game, so they would not be able to understand the essence of this life and death chess board in a short period of time. Being able to withstand the chessboard's aura was even more difficult. After all, the chessboard's aura was not temporary, it would only disappear after the game was over. During the game, one had to constantly withstand the terrifying aura.
However, the crowd was relieved that the chessboard's aura had not exceeded their limits. Furthermore, the aura on the chessboard was determined by the strength of the player. A Martial King expert could withstand the aura of a Martial Ancestor expert, increasing in order. A Martial Honorable expert would have to withstand the aura of a Martial Saint expert.
...
Shenlang sat in the castle, quietly watching the grand occasion outside. Right now, he had the feeling of being a Lord God. Others were clearing dungeons, but he was the big boss. This feeling was naturally indescribable, but it was very satisfying.
Shenlang had actually left a thread of hope for the life and death chess board. As for whether or not anyone could find it, it would depend on their luck. As long as someone could break the life and death chess board, he would give them an item. At that time, the southern region would be in chaos because of that item.
At that time, he could also go to the Shen Family with peace of mind. The most difficult part of the system's mission this time was the Shen Family segment. The Shen Family's strength was definitely not simple. They might even have a True God expert. Right now, he was thinking whether he should use the possession function or call Yuwen Xie or Tensei Shinryū over. If it were anyone else, they would definitely not be able to contact someone from another world in a different plane. However, Shenlang could because he had the system.
This stalemate lasted for an entire day. During this day, no one from the superpowers came to the stage. Most of them were loose cultivators testing the waters. Furthermore, there were people who made their own chessboards and played against each other to train their chess skills. They hoped to win in the life and death chess board.
The people of the Martial God Continent had very high comprehension abilities. In just a day, many people with strong chess skills appeared. After they trained their chess skills, they began to make their own preparations, studying how to resist the aura on the chessboard.
Although their chess skills were strong, they would definitely not be able to concentrate on playing chess when facing the aura. At that time, they would still lose. Therefore, they had to overcome the aura in order to concentrate on playing chess.
The people with strong chess skills of the superpowers all looked for the experts of their respective forces to release their aura while playing chess to train their ability to resist the aura.
Everyone was nervously studying the aura. Among them, only Zi Yan and Zi Tong were not studying. Because Zi Yan's talent was extraordinary, she had already created an illusion of a chessboard in her mind. She was playing chess with herself to train her chess skills. Now, Zi Yan was only lacking in the aspect of aura.
However, she was not in a hurry. She had been studying the Compassionate Travel Sword Codex that Shenlang had given her. As her understanding deepened, Zi Yan felt that the Compassionate Travel Sword Codex was not simple.
The Compassionate Travel Sword Codex was divided into: Sword Qi River, Sword Master Heaven and Earth, Sword Spirit Universe, Sword God Selfless Self, and Sword Heart Illumination.
As long as she comprehended these five parts, the Compassionate Travel Sword Codex would be considered a great success. At that time, she would definitely reach the fragmentation stage.
The Compassionate Travel Sword Codex was very suitable for Zi Yan's character. The Compassionate Travel Sword Codex was a kind of heartless sword technique. Zi Yan had a cold temperament. In addition, she wanted to be strong and tenacious. The Compassionate Travel Sword Codex was simply written for her.
