Jiang Chen looked solemn too. Although he knew how to play Go, he was not an expert. He only knew a little about it and had never studied it before. The chessboard was crisscrossed but Jiang Chen could tell that it was not an ordinary chessboard.
On both sides of the chessboard, there was a stone platform. It should be the seats of the players.
Just when Jiang Chen and the White-robbed Goddess fell into silence, a black-robed figure appeared on one of the seats. He stood with his hands behind his back. His hair and beard were all white. However, no matter how hard Jiang Chen tried, he could not see his face clearly. It was as if his face was shrouded in mist, giving off a mysterious feeling. Most importantly, it was a soul. However, Jiang Chen could not feel any soul power from it.
"My two friends, hehe. It is fate that we met. If you can solve this treasure, you will naturally be able to take away the Ice Origin Lake Water Bead."
The black-robed old man said with a faint smile. His voice was warm, giving off a feeling of spring breeze.
"May I know your name, sir?"
The White-robbed Goddess asked faintly. Jiang Chen was confused too. After all, the appearance of this soul was too strange. They were not prepared at all.
"I am just a soul consciousness. To be exact, I don't know who I am. I don't know who you are either. I have left my consciousness here, waiting for the fated one to solve this treasure. Only then can my soul return to the heavens and earth."
The black-robed old man said with a smile.
"A soul consciousness without any consciousness was able to suppress the Immemorial Beast King for so many years. I am afraid that there are only a handful of such supreme beings in the world."
The White-clothed Goddess murmured. Since the black-clothed old man didn't want to reveal his identity, she could only guess in her heart. However, this shock made her heart unable to calm down for a long time.
Jiang Chen couldn't understand the White-clad Goddess's shock because he hadn't reached the White-clad Goddess's level yet. Naturally, he didn't know how terrifying this unconscious soul was.
"Since you've already entered the chessboard, there's no such thing as retreat. If you can't solve the World Treasure Puzzle, you'll be trapped here for all eternity until the Heavenly Dao collapses and another epoch passes. Perhaps only then will you be able to escape this World Treasure Puzzle."
The White-robed Goddess gasped. The collapse of the Heavenly Path meant that unless the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed, they would be trapped here forever if they could not solve the chess game.
"I'd like to see if this so-called treasure of yours is really that powerful."
The White-robed Goddess, Leng Leng, said. She knew that she was unparalleled in the world when it came to chess. Today, her desire to win was getting stronger and stronger.
"Please —"
The black-robed old man waved his hand.
Jiang Chen looked at the two of them curiously, wondering if this White-robbed Goddess was as powerful as he had imagined. Xiong Hou hadn't been able to escape from this place for thousands of years and was trapped here. Jiang Chen was starting to regret his decision. This woman might not be any stronger than Xiong Hou. It was a dead end for them. This woman's ability to stir up trouble was truly indescribable.
Jiang Chen stood with his arms crossed. At this moment, he was curious as he watched the two play chess.
The White-robbed Goddess was a real master. She played dozens of chess pieces with the black-robed old man and didn't seem to be at a disadvantage. Both of them gave their best. Jiang Chen couldn't understand it but he could see the terrifying murderous intent in the World Treasure Puzzle. It was like invisible sword qi, nineteen of them. An invisible pressure fell from the sky.
The White-robbed Goddess's face became paler and paler. Every move she made made her look worse.
After the thirty-seventh move, the White-robbed Goddess's face changed. She spat out a mouthful of blood and fell off the stone platform.
"You lost."
The black-clothed old man said with a smile. Moreover, an extremely powerful pressure was exerted on the White-robbed Goddess. Her expression made Jiang Chen feel extremely uncomfortable, it was really pitiful.
"I forgot to tell you that every time you lose, you have to bear the pressure of the World Treasure Puzzle. Even a Venerable Emperor can't bear it more than ten times. Therefore, the beast would rather be trapped by me for countless years than try to break the puzzle for the tenth time. Hehehe. "
The black-robed old man said with a faint smile. However, it was extremely irritating to Jiang Chen and the White-robbed Goddess. Does this old man really think this is a joke? We are risking our lives.
"Thank you."
The White-robbed Goddess remained calm and stood proudly in front of him. Her beautiful eyes were full of determination and stubbornness. Jiang Chen had only seen such determination in himself. That kind of determination was indescribable. Even if she died nine times, she would not regret it. She would not give up until she achieved her goal!
The second time, the forty-fourth move, she still failed. The pressure on the White-robbed Goddess increased. Jiang Chen could see the determination in her eyes. More importantly, he felt the pressure too. It was just that the degree was different. However, it was as if a thousand zhang tall mountain was pressing on his body. It was an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
The third time, the fifty-second move, the White-robbed Goddess failed again. The pressure on Jiang Chen and the White-robbed Goddess became heavier and heavier.
The fourth time, the seventy-seventh move, the White-robbed Goddess still failed.
The fifth time, the ninety-third move, the White-robbed Goddess's eyes were full of determination and pain. The pressure that Jiang Chen was enduring was extremely oppressive to him. Fortunately, he was not a match for an ordinary Half Step Divine King.
The sixth time, the seventh time, the eighth time, they all failed on the 144th move.
The ninth time, the same number of steps, the White-robed Goddess failed again. She had used everything she had learned in her life, but she still failed. To her, this was undoubtedly a huge blow. Her soul felt like it was being locked, she couldn't move at all. This kind of pressure had already seeped into her bones.
However, she was not willing to give up. Because she had failed again and again in the same place. She seemed to have entered a dead end. No matter what, this was a treasure that could not be saved.
"I am not willing to give up."
The White-robbed Goddess said while gritting her teeth. Her eyes were full of desire to win. However, she had failed nine times in a row. It was a huge blow to her. Now, there was only one more move left. The result might be unimaginable for her. The black-robed old man had said that even a Venerable Emperor might not be able to withstand the pressure of ten moves.
"That evil creature has made countless deductions for millions of years. In the end, she did not have the courage to complete the tenth move. Hehehe. "
The black-robed old man said with a smile.
Jiang Chen looked at the White-robbed Goddess silently. He was successfully captured by her. Because he felt that his soul was locked. He could not escape at all. He could only wander in this cave.
"Are we really trapped here?"
Jiang Chen's heart trembled. He could not help but look at the White-robbed Goddess. At this moment, she was also silent. His body was like a huge mountain pressing down on him. Could it be that this treasure of heaven and earth could not be broken?
The White-robbed Goddess wanted to look back at Jiang Chen, but she could not do it. This guy insisted on following her into the cave. In other words, the two of them were trapped in a dangerous situation.
