The Dao of Chess was the ability of mental calculation and deduction.
Ning Fan's wisdom was not weak and he even had the Ancient Chaos Inheritance. However, he could not gain the upper hand in front of the black-robed man.
The dream lasted for three days. Every day, the man would play seven games with him.
No more and no less. No matter what Ning Fan asked, the man would not answer.
On the first day, Ning Fan and the man were tied in the first six games. Each of them won three games but lost in the seventh game.
On the second day, Ning Fan was determined to win and won three games in a row. However, he was defeated by the man in the last four games.
Ning Fan frowned. This was the third day.
He did not know why he fell into this dream but he could feel that the black-robed man had no evil intentions towards him.
Who is this man? Why did I enter the dream and play with him for three days after being enveloped by the black starlight?!
What is this black starlight? This man said that the Dao of Chess is the Dao of Astrology. What does this mean?
Ning Fan's brows relaxed. He put down the chess piece and stood up to leave.
I am not playing anymore!
Oh? Interesting. He actually gave up on winning. However, this is not enough to see through the mystery of this game. Little Butterfly, are you trying to escape? I did not see you running away when you faced Zhang Qing
"Who the hell are you?!"
I am the one who taught you the Dao of Astrology!
Dao of Astrology? Ning Fan was startled. He naturally knew that the Dao of Astrology was an extremely profound healing technique.
However …
However, why should I learn it?!
My Dao of Astrology is the Black Star Technique. It has the effect of regrowing bones and resurrecting the dead … Are you really not going to learn this technique?!
The middle-aged man stroked his beard and said indifferently.
If you want to learn it, then sit down! If you don't want to learn it, then you can leave! However, I'm afraid that your Weiliang will never be able to come back to life!
"…"
Ning Fan looked at the middle-aged man deeply. This man appeared on purpose. This dream was strange and this man seemed to know him like the back of his hand.
Is he an inner demon or an illusion? Is he a fictional character in the dream or a remnant will that really exists?
He tried to break the dream to leave, but he still could not.
It seems that if I do not satisfy this middle-aged man, I will not be able to leave this dream.
"I want to see how you are going to teach me the Star Art!" Ning Fan sat on the stone stool again, but this time, he pushed the chessboard and held a black piece.
"You are worth teaching …"
The black-robed middle-aged man nodded, but he was not in a hurry to make his move.
"Chess is astrology, and the chessboard is life. It's hard to distinguish between black and white, and it's hard to distinguish between reality and illusion. However, there's one thing you shouldn't be obsessed with black and white … Black and white are meaningless! "
With a flick of his sleeve, the chessboard was filled with specks of starlight, as bright as the Milky Way.
This chessboard and chess pieces were formed from starlight. The silver starlight was the white chess pieces, and the black starlight was the black chess pieces. But with a thought from the middle-aged man, the black and white starlight were reversed!
"On the first day, you didn't put victory or defeat in your eyes. I gave it my all, but it ended in defeat!"
"On the second day, you wholeheartedly sought victory. You won three rounds in a row, but your state of mind was disturbed. You lost four rounds and ended up losing as well."
"However, you should know that life is like a game of chess. The key to victory is not who wins the most. Instead, it's who wins the final round! Even if he won six games in a row, once he was defeated in the final battle, the throne would still be in his hands … This was the chess of life! As for the chess of astrology … "
"You can take that black chess piece and study it carefully. Broaden your horizons. There are more stars in the sky than just those that shine brightly! The Star Door has been opened. It's time for me to leave … I haven't played a game today, and I can't bear the itch. It's a pity! "
* Boom *
Remnant Dream collapsed. On the third day, there wasn't a single game and it ended.
Ning Fan suddenly opened his eyes. The starlight that surrounded his body had turned into a black starlight chess piece and fell on his palm.
He patted his storage pouch and took out the jade box that contained the key to the Star Palace. The key was nowhere to be found.
"The key has disappeared, and the black starlight condensed into a chess piece … This black chess piece is the key to obtaining the Star of the Heavenly Emperor! The Star of the Heavenly Emperor is the ability to control the black starlight … Starlight Technique! "
Ning Fan exerted his palm force, and the black chess piece immediately disappeared into his palm.
He then looked at the female corpse that was surrounded by starlight. In the past three days, the decay on her body had completely disappeared. She looked like a living person. However, there was still no sign of life. All of this was because she didn't have a soul.
Under the starlight, the palace dress of the female corpse fluttered in the wind.
Her tightly shut eyes seemed to be hiding a pool of autumn water. Her pale face also had a hint of redness.
She stood in the wind. Her body seemed to be dancing in the wind.
She had yet to open her eyes but she already had a kind of pitiful aura.
Her Mid Divine Transformation Realm aura force was raised to the Late Divine Transformation Realm … The Star Tempering Purple Zoysia was only enough to raise her cultivation level to the Late Divine Transformation Realm. However, as her Sea of Consciousness recovered, her aura force still showed signs of increasing.
"Her Sea of Consciousness is recovering!"
Ning Fan's eyes turned cold. He knew that the female corpse had probably reached the last and most crucial stage – the recovery of her Sea of Consciousness!
If her Sea of Consciousness could be restored, she would be able to recover her past memories even if she was a corpse devil!
At this moment, the female corpse must not be disturbed!
* Bang *
Below him, at the center of the star island, the tightly shut gap of the Star Door began to tremble and open.
A huge storm swept across the sky. However, when it reached the front of the female corpse, it was blocked by Ning Fan's sleeve.
No! No one is allowed to disturb the recovery of Weiliang's Sea of Consciousness!
* Roar *
Far away, two groups of Falcon Star Beasts were fighting over the corpse of a gigantic sea beast.
As the battle got closer, countless Falcon Star Beasts unconsciously flew towards the female corpse.
"Those who come within thirty thousand li * (500m per li) of my territory … shall die!"
Ning Fan did not kill them. He just uttered a sentence indifferently but his killing intent was terrifying.
Under such a cold threat, the group of innocent Star Beasts immediately showed a terrified expression and left in a hurry.
The female corpse's Sea of Consciousness was still recovering.
However, after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, there were seven to eight broken holes in the void above the star island as usual.
Previously, seven of the eight holes had healed while the last one had yet to fully heal. That was why they entered the Purple Robe Palace.
This time, out of the eight holes, five of them had healed while the other three had yet to fully heal. Three forces had entered the Star Palace!
"Hehe! My Snow Sword Sect has finally entered this place. Other than the Purple Robe Palace, we should be the second to enter the palace, right? "
"Second? That might not be the case. My Shadow Valley's speed is not any slower than your Snow Sword Sect. "
"Humph! What's the point of arguing about this? The one who will obtain the Star of the Heavenly Emperor will certainly be my Imperial Wind School! "
Hundreds of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators and 19 Divine Transformation Realm cultivators from the three great forces had entered this place!
These three sects were not as powerful as the Purple Robe Palace but they were not weak either.
Before the experts of the three sects had the time to show off, they saw a man and a woman standing strangely in the sky. The woman's appearance was peerless. Starlight covered her body. She was actually using the starlight to heal her injuries.
The man's eyes were gloomy. As soon as he saw the experts of the three sects had arrived, he immediately patted his storage pouch and held a blood sword that was filled with blood qi. He looked like a devil god. Without any hesitation, he used his palm to extract the soul and infused his magic power into the sword light!
"Get lost!"
The sword light covered the sky!
Under the sword light, all the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of the three sects died tragically. The 19 Divine Transformation Realm cultivators were shocked when they saw the blood-red sword light soaring into the sky before they could stand still. They then rushed out of the Star Palace without any hesitation!
Even though the 11 Early Nascent Soul Realm cultivators ran away quickly, their physical bodies were destroyed and only their primordial spirits were left!
Even though the six Mid Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were prepared, they were still severely injured by the sword light and coughed out blood non-stop.
The three Late Nascent Soul Realm cultivators had an astounding cultivation base. However, they were all severely injured by the sword light. Their faces were filled with fear after they managed to escape from the Star Palace.
"Half-step Void Treasure blood sword! This man is only an Early Spirit Severing Realm cultivator, but he possesses the magic power of a Late Spirit Severing Realm cultivator just by extracting the soul! Even a Peak Spirit Severing Realm cultivator would be injured if he wields a Half-step Void Treasure with his Late Spirit Severing Realm magical power! We are really lucky to be able to escape with our lives! "
"This man is guarding the Star Gate … Could he be the one who killed the experts of the Purple Robe Palace, Lu Bei?!"
The experts of the three sects were terrified.
The danger of the Star Palace was far beyond their imagination. The Star of Heaven Emperor was not something they could compete for!
"Damn it! Let's retreat! "
The void closed and the path disappeared.
The experts of the three sects were extremely afraid of Ning Fan. Extreme joy begets sorrow. It came too quickly.
Ning Fan kept the blood sword. His aura was imposing.
With his current strength, it was no longer as difficult for him to use the blood sword.
As long as he was here, he would not allow anyone to disturb the female corpse's recovery of her Sea of Consciousness.
Time passed bit by bit. Ning Fan stood guard at the side. His cold eyes would only become gentler when he saw the female corpse.
Waiting, waiting …
Ning Fan was waiting for the female corpse to wake up. The female corpse had also waited for one hundred and fifty million years for Ning Fan to transform into a butterfly and become a human.
I have no regrets. I have no regrets for stealing the immortal medicine and abandoning the engagement for you.
I have no regrets for sleeping in the green coffin and keeping my face bare for you.
I have no regrets for turning into a corpse devil and taking pity on you in my next life.
It was as if thousands of doors had been opened. In the end, it turned into a ray of dazzling sunlight and shone into the female corpse's eyes.
"It's a little dazzling … I should be sleeping in the darkness …" The female corpse's tone was indifferent as if nothing in the world could make her happy.
Her eyes were looking at the stars in the sky with disdain. Her eyes were as cold as autumn water.
However, when her eyes fell on a man in front of her, she could no longer remain calm.
Without a doubt, the man in front of her had changed his appearance and changed his appearance.
Without a doubt, the man in front of her had reincarnated and his thoughts were shattered.
However, she could still recognize the man in front of her with just a glance. His clear black and white eyes carried a trace of stubbornness and sadness.
"You are … Xiao Fan!"
That kind of feeling was indescribable. After sleeping for one hundred and fifty million years, she had awakened her memories and saw the only person she wanted to see.
There were tears in her eyes but she was reluctant to let them fall.
There was a smile at the corner of her mouth but she was sobbing.
Xiao Fan is the name of my butterfly …
He is my butterfly!
"It's me. It's been many years since we last met. How are you?"
Ning Fan's face was still stained with blood from killing someone but he tried his best to smile calmly.
That's right. It's been many years since we last met …
"Xiao Fan, I'm so happy. I'm so happy … But, I'm so sleepy …"
The female corpse frowned. Her Sea of Consciousness was in extreme pain and she fell into Ning Fan's arms.
The Star Tempering Purple Zoysia had restored part of her Sea of Consciousness. However, she did not know how long it would take for her to fully recover her memories.
She needed to rest. She needed a long period of time to recover her memories.
"I want to sleep. Don't leave me before I wake up …" The female corpse's eyes that had just regained a trace of clarity began to become empty.
It was a form of self-protection. Before she regained her memories, she still needed to seal her broken memories to give her Sea of Consciousness a chance to recover.
As her eyes became empty, the female corpse returned to her usual blank look.
"Light?" Only a female corpse with low spiritual intelligence would address Ning Fan as such.
She was asking why Ning Fan was hugging her.
She was asking what happened just now and why there were bloodstains on Ning Fan's body.
Ning Fan's expression was complicated. He was afraid that he would have to listen to this form of address for a very long time.
"Silly girl. Go back … Don't worry. I will definitely cure you completely. I will!"
"Hmm?" The female corpse tilted her head in confusion.
However, she did not resist Ning Fan's embrace as much as before.
Moreover, there was a hint of expectation and dependence …
"Light … Wake … Up … and sleep?"
The female corpse gave an ambiguous invitation.
"Silly girl. Corpse devils don't need to sleep." Ning Fan did not know whether to laugh or cry.
It seems like even if the female corpse could not recover her memories for the time being, her spiritual intelligence had improved by quite a lot after consuming the purple zoysia.
Not simple. She even knows how to seduce me. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm in a hurry to enter the Heaven Palace, I would probably be willing to sleep with her.
The last time was when I was in Ning City. It was because I had no choice but to live …
"Thank you for protecting me so many times. Zhihe, Weiliang …"
"Huh?" The female corpse blinked her eyes, indicating that she did not understand. (To be continued.)
