The first round of the Dao of Painting Showdown was the scene that the Sages didn't want to see the most. They didn't want Gu Hai to win a Recommendation Talisman, but Gu Hai won a Grand Slam!
Even though the Sages were furious, they couldn't do anything about it. What was done was done, and there was no turning back.
All they could do was beg the other Sages not to recommend Gu Hai.
The other Sages were furious with Gu Hai, especially the Go Dao Sage.
Their initial displeasure gradually turned into disgust. Their initial displeasure was because Gu Hai didn't respect the Sages and insulted them. Although they weren't the ones who were insulted, they couldn't allow him to continue his evil ways. They didn't want Gu Hai to win, but Gu Hai seemed to have been slapped in the face every time. He won one game after another. Finally, it was time for the final battle.
The Go Dao Sages watched coldly as Gu Hai and Wu Yazi took their seats.
Wu Yazi smiled and said, "Mr. Goode, please!"
"Mr. Wu Yazi, please!" Gu Hai nodded.
"Pa!" "Pa!" "Pa!"
The two of them began to play their chess pieces.
"Oh? You're also playing the starting position of the Thirty Lines of Heaven and Earth? "Gu Hai frowned.
Solemnly, Wu Yazi said, "Mr. Goode is a Go Dao expert, so I won't hide anything from Mr. Goode. Back then, I inherited Old Man Guanqi's legacy, and I've been studying it for a long time. I hope Mr. Goode won't be stingy with your guidance!"
"One of Guanqi's nine sons?" Gu Hai raised an eyebrow and glanced at the host, the Ninth Young Master.
The Ninth Young Master seemed to have known all along, and his expression was indifferent.
All around them, the cultivators of the Way of Chess widened their eyes in disbelief.
One of Guanqi's nine sons? That Elixir King from before was an imposter? Wu Yazi was one of Guanqi's nine sons?
"Mister Wu Yazi, please do your best!" Gu Hai smiled faintly.
"There is no time limit for this round. Both of you can do whatever you want!" The Ninth Young Master said.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
The two of them began to place their pieces.
Wu Yazi was one of Guanqi's nine sons. His voice wasn't loud, but it spread out in an instant. Everyone who heard him straightened up.
Those who didn't know Old Man Guanqi were fine, but those who knew Old Man Guanqi were shocked.
Eight hundred years ago, Old Man Guanqi played a game of Battle of the Heavens and turned the world upside down. The Heavens sent down a monstrous punishment to destroy Old Man Guanqi.
Not far away, Qing Emperor narrowed his eyes. "Oh? Are you also one of the nine sons of Guanqi? It's been eight hundred years, and the nine sons of Guanqi keep appearing? Is something big going to happen? "
Kong Di raised his eyebrows. "The nine sons of Guanqi? Wu Yazi, you're hiding it from me? Why are you telling the truth to Gu Hai? "
Ye Hua and Xuanen's expressions changed.
The five hundred million people began to discuss among themselves.
"Old Man Guanqi? The world's number one chess master? In the past, no one in the world was his match. He even challenged the Heavens to a match! "
"What do you know? Old Man Guanqi wants to become an immortal by challenging the Heavens!"
"Old Man Guanqi is dead, so he divided his inheritance into nine parts. Nine successors of Guanqi will appear!"
"Wu Yazi is one of the nine sons of Guanqi? His chess skills must be incomparably strong! "
"How is that possible? Didn't he lose to Gu Hai last time? "
"Wu Yazi didn't go all out last time. He was already halfway there. This time, he'll definitely go all out!"
"Mr. Goode has met his match!"
… … …
… … … …
… …
Wu Yazi's title as one of the nine sons of Guanqi caused an uproar.
The Future Buddha, Taichu, and Taishang all had gloomy expressions on their faces.
In the sky, the Sages also heard Wu Yazi's voice.
"Old Man Guanqi's disciple?"
"Wasn't Old Man Guanqi destroyed by the Heavens?"
"That's Old Man Guanqi's inheritance. Do you still remember the battle between Old Man Guanqi a thousand years ago?"
"Heh, that fierce Guanqi?"
"When it comes to the art of chess, I've never been impressed by anyone, but when it comes to observing chess, I'm impressed!"
… … …
… … … …
… …
The Sages looked at Wu Yazi solemnly.
Wu Yazi and Gu Hai continued with their chess pieces.
As they played, Gu Hai glanced at Wu Yazi. Indeed, Wu Yazi's chess skills were much stronger than Dan Wang's. Wu Yazi's use of the Thirty Lines of Heaven and Earth had already reached perfection. In fact, Gu Hai could tell that Wu Yazi's chess skills were even stronger than Mo Yike's.
Mo Yike's strongest skill was in politics. Chess came second. Wu Yazi focused on chess, and his style was even more ferocious.
Wu Yazi smiled and said, "Mister Gu, don't you think that the Dao of Chess is also a literary art? Why is it that it is restricted to a small chessboard? Only by expending countless spirit stones to arrange a Go array can one achieve world-shaking effects like the Dao of Zither, Calligraphy, and Painting?"
"Oh?" Gu Hai was puzzled.
That wasn't the case eight hundred years ago. Eight hundred years ago, when the art of chess emerged, who could contend against it? Take my move for example. With one move, I could gather an army of thousands of men and horses. I could kill with a single finger! "Wu Yazi said solemnly.
Pah!
Gu Hai raised his eyebrows. With Gu Hai's chess skills, he could naturally see the power behind that move. However, did Wu Yazi just say that he could gather an army of thousands of men and horses?
"Mr. Wu Yazi, what do you mean? I don't understand! "Gu Hai said.
"Do you still remember the Innate Puzzle World, Mr. Goode?" Wu Yazi smiled.
Gu Hai said solemnly, "Of course. There, as long as you obtain a golden chess piece, you can manipulate the laws of heaven and earth and form your own cloud beast to defend against your enemies!"
"I remember that the Ninth Young Master once told me that Mr. Goode was able to gather an army of thousands of men and horses with a single move!" Wu Yazi smiled.
"Oh?" Gu Hai narrowed his eyes.
Gu Hai seemed to have guessed something when Wu Yazi said that.
"The art of chess isn't the weakest of the four arts. On the contrary, the art of chess has the greatest offensive power! Mr. Goode, have you ever thought that the Dongfang Bubai, Zhang Sanfeng, and Dugu Qiubai that you formed wouldn't need to rely on the arrays you created with spirit stones to move freely in the world? "Wu Yazi smiled.
"Mr. Wu Yazi, what do you mean by that?" Gu Hai asked solemnly.
"Mr. Goode should have guessed that the Innate Puzzle World's chess rules weren't set up by Old Man Guanqi," Wu Yazi said with a shake of his head. "It has always been this way. When one's chess skills reach a certain level, they can gather peerless experts to protect themselves. They can also gather an army of thousands of men and horses to kill your enemies. Wu Yazi shook his head. "The Dao of Literature shouldn't be a plaything. Divine Literature Spirits should be equally matched!"
"Heh, Mr. Wu Yazi, what you're saying is indeed fantastical. Unfortunately, I've looked through countless books and records, but I've never heard of such a thing. How can you gather peerless experts without the use of spirit stones?" Gu Hai said solemnly.
"Isn't it possible with the Heavenly Go Chess?" Wu Yazi smiled.
Gu Hai narrowed his eyes. The Heavenly Go Chess could mobilize the power of heaven and earth to set up the Thirty Unhindered Worlds Array. The Life Entrapping Blade that he'd gathered from the fragments was one such example. It consumed very little spirit stones.
"It used to be possible, but it's a pity that it's no longer possible. That's because of Old Man Guanqi, heh …!" Wu Yazi looked at the sky.
"Old Man Guanqi? Are you saying that Old Man Guanqi used chess to challenge the heavens and incited the wrath of the heavens to destroy Old Man Guanqi? At the same time, the heavens also took away the chess rules of heaven and earth? "Gu Hai's expression darkened.
"Mr. Goode is a wise man!"
"Heh, took away the chess rules of heaven and earth? That was eight hundred years ago. Then why aren't there any records of it? "Gu Hai shook his head in disbelief.
"Because of the heavens!" Wu Yazi said solemnly.
"Oh?"
"The heavens took away the chess rules. At the same time, they also took away all written records related to the chess rules. They also took away almost everyone's memories of the chess rules!" Wu Yazi explained.
"Buzz!"
Gu Hai's pupils shrank.
The expressions of the countless chess cultivators around them changed. Has Wu Yazi gone mad?
Did the heavens take away all memories related to the chess rules?
Only a few people narrowed their eyes. In the distance, Qing Emperor and Kong Di frowned.
"Wu Yazi actually managed to preserve those memories?" The Future Buddha was shocked.
"It must have been left behind by Old Man Guanqi!" Taishang said with a gloomy expression.
"Guanqi's nine sons, are you going to be restless?" Tai Chu sneered.
"His Holiness, Wu Yazi's tone is a little unpredictable! Is he trying to expose the heavens' shortcomings? He's not Old Man Guanqi. Does he have the guts to do that? "Beiming Shou sneered.
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty gently tapped his dragon throne with his finger. He narrowed his eyes. "Old Man Guanqi? Heh, you're really far-sighted! Are you planning to make another move after one failed? "
Countless people around the square looked at Wu Yazi with disdain. They didn't believe him. Only a few people looked at him curiously.
Gu Hai stared at Wu Yazi.
"Mr. Wu Yazi, why are you telling me all this?" Gu Hai asked in a deep voice.
Wu Yazi took a deep breath and said, "The art of chess is a literary practice that requires opponents. The stronger the opponent, the stronger the practitioner. Mister Gu, I hope you won't disappoint me! "Wu Yazi said solemnly.
"Huh?" Gu Hai looked up.
Something's wrong. Wu Yazi's tone isn't like that. What …?
Gu Hai looked at Wu Yazi with a solemn expression.
However, Wu Yazi lowered his head and didn't say anything.
Pah!
Suddenly, Wu Yazi's piece broke away from the group of Go pieces and landed on a bare area.
"Tian Yuan?" Everyone's expressions changed.
"Why did Wu Yazi place it there?"
"He's already played so many pieces. Is he trying to change his style?"
"He's courting death. What is Wu Yazi doing?"
… … …
… … …
… …
Countless people were shocked.
In the distance, the Lotus Emperor's expression suddenly changed, and the brush in his hand suddenly snapped with a 'crack'.
"Impossible! Isn't that Wu Yazi?" Qing Emperor's eyes flashed with shock.
Emperor Kong also raised his eyebrows, revealing a trace of astonishment.
Ninth Young Master's expression changed as well, a trace of panic flashing in his eyes.
"It's not the Thirty Lines of Heaven and Earth Chess, but the Thirty-One Lines of Chess?" Gu Hai's pupils shrank.
"Something's not right. His Holiness, why is Wu Yazi different?" Beiming Shou whispered in surprise as he looked at Daqiansheng.
For the first time, Daqiansheng's eyes flashed with surprise.
"You're not dead? Old man! "Daqiansheng narrowed his eyes.
His voice was low. No one could hear him clearly.
