Chess Venerate Saint waved his hand and the chessboard changed. The two of them were suddenly placed in the Milky Way. The heavens and earth were the board, and the stars were the chess pieces. The chessboard was filled with an imposing aura that made one's ambition soar.
Ye Qinghan was in the chessboard and could not even see the overall situation, let alone play chess with the Chess Saint. He looked confused and pondered for a long time. The first move was standard. The cannon was placed in the center like an old tree, controlling the overall situation.
Chess Venerate Saint waved his hand and moved the stars. The Milky Way surged, and the two pawns on the left were like divine dragons emerging from the sea, suppressing the heavens. No one dared to make the slightest move.
Ye Qinghan knew that his chess skills were miles apart from the Chess Saint's. If he wanted to win or lose in a way that was not too embarrassing, he could not play according to the rules. Therefore, he took the opponent's horse, then mounted the horse, set out the chariot, and set up a formation with the Chess Saint. He killed whoever he caught and kept changing the pieces. Blood flowed like a river on the chessboard. However, overall, the Chess Saint had twice as many pieces as Ye Qinghan.
The Chess Saint looked at Ye Qinghan in anger and scolded, "Can you use your brain? Why don't you play some tricks? "
Ye Qinghan smiled and said, "Venerable One, when two armies are facing each other and there is a great disparity in strength, one can either retreat and avoid the brunt of the attack, or attack forcefully and destroy the enemy's morale and retreat. Even if one loses, one has to bite off a pair of the enemy's arms. My chess skills are not as good as yours, but this is how it is on the battlefield. You use the heavens and earth as your board, the stars as your chess pieces, the Milky Way surging, and the Great Way first. Who in this world would dare to play chess with you? Who would be able to compete with you in chess? Even the Saint Lord of the Holy Empire would not dare to say that he could tie with you. I'm just a kid who is still wet behind the ears. How can I compete with you in chess? Since I'm bound to lose anyway, why not trade my life for yours? At least I won't be defeated by you and you won't suffer any losses in the end! "
Hahaha …
The Chess Venerable laughed and his aura suddenly grew stronger. The Way of the Heavens changed and the sun and moon replaced each other. In a split second, day turned into night and the stars appeared in the night. The stars shifted their positions and the vast aura formed a wave like the roaring of the sea.
"Ye Qinghan, I really didn't misjudge you. Anyone in the world would play by the rules when they play chess with me. They would even try to beat me by a move or two. Only you are special. You don't seek to win, but you seek to make this old man win even more miserably. You are treacherous and cunning. My evaluation of you is absolutely on point."
The Chess Venerate Saint's white hair fluttered in the wind, and his divine robe danced in the wind. His aura was otherworldly, and he suddenly regained his youth. The wrinkles on his face disappeared, and his white hair turned black. In an instant, he looked a million years younger. His vitality was boundless, and he was like a newborn. His skin became smooth, and his Qi and blood were renewed.
"Congratulations to the Great Sage for reaching the Great Sage Realm!"
Ye Qinghan stared at the Chess Venerable as he changed the Heavenly Dao and the galaxy. His eyes were filled with radiance, and he did not even blink. Time in this world sped up. In a moment, it seemed like five thousand years had passed. The One-Leaf Civilization was born and then annihilated. The world was brand new again.
Every moment, every breath, was the replacement of the Great Dao.
Ye Qinghan could see it clearly with his naked eye. This moment was better than ten million years of cultivation. He had shaved off ten million years of time for him to reach the Great Sage Realm!
At this moment, the Chess Venerable was truly comprehending the changes in the trajectory of the world, and the laws of the stars, sun, and moon. His obsession dissipated, and at this moment, he defeated everyone in the world and understood everyone in the world.
Ye Qinghan was his last obsession, and it allowed him to understand that time was another type of careerist ideology, but it allowed him to comprehend the laws of the world.
Whoosh!
The firmament split, and the dome cracked. Holy light bathed the Chess Venerable and enveloped him.
Ye Qinghan was mesmerized by the scene. He wished that the Chess Venerable could comprehend it for countless years. Such an opportunity was not available to everyone.
However, the Chess Venerable's soul was boundless. He had already comprehended countless Great Daos, and now he was only one step away. Therefore, after a moment, the stars returned to normal. The chessboard fell, and it spanned across the valley.
The Chess Venerable landed in front of Ye Qinghan. He was like an immortal, benevolent, dignified, and reserved. His smile made people admire him and want to get close to him.
Ye Qinghan was stunned and asked in surprise, "That's it?"
"Do you think that the time it takes for a joss stick to burn is too little? You must know that even the true disciples of my sacred ground did not have the chance to comprehend the phenomenon of heaven and earth that I created. You've taken advantage of me, "the Chess Venerable said with a smile.
Ye Qinghan's mind was in a mess, and he was speechless. He had comprehended a lot after watching for a while, but the time was too short. He felt like he was addicted to it, but he had to give it up immediately.
The Chess Venerable sat on a huge rock and looked down at Ye Qinghan. He asked, "Little Ye, tell me, who is the person behind you?"
Ye Qinghan shook his head and said, "I can't say, I can't say. A Sage should have the bearing of a Sage. You can't make things difficult for me."
"Looking at your evasive gaze, this old man can roughly guess the fear hidden in the depths of your heart. Since you're unwilling to speak, this old man won't force you either. However, you've got to think this through. Don't be used by others in the end. For someone like you, once you've grown to my level, if you're used by others, the lethality produced would definitely be frightening. At that time, don't let this old man kill you and suppress you."
Although his words were plain, they made people shudder. Ye Qinghan could feel the Chess Venerable's will. Once he made a move, he would not show mercy.
Ye Qinghan smiled embarrassedly and said respectfully, "Don't worry, Senior. I have always been a person who distinguishes between kindness and hatred. I will never reach out to the sacred ground of the sword way. Otherwise, even if you cut off my hand, I will not retaliate."
The Chess Venerable nodded and asked, "Have you become a disciple of that person from the Sky Reaching School?"
"No, I haven't even seen what he looks like. Senior Sister Fanyin has always taught me some secret techniques, such as the Ten Word Formula and the Shadowless Cloud Manipulation. I haven't cultivated any of the other secret techniques in the Immortal Codex," Ye Qinghan said honestly.
The Chess Venerable asked with a smile, "Why don't you learn chess from me? With your character, your future achievements will be limitless."
Ye Qinghan shook his head like a rattle-drum. Countless people had racked their brains to get a spot, but he had rejected it.
"Venerable One, it's not that I don't want to, but I just can't sit still. The way of chess is really not suitable for me. If I become your disciple, I will definitely drag down your reputation. However, I do have someone who is very suitable for your legacy. I'm just afraid you won't like him," Ye Qinghan said truthfully.
The Chess Venerable did not force him. He had seen through Ye Qinghan's nature. He was suitable for cultivation, but he might not be the best candidate for his legacy. However, finding a good successor was much harder than finding a genius. The Chess Venerable asked, "Who are you referring to?"
"You've seen him before! It's Yan Ao. Back then, he entered the Holy Nation's capital to send a message to Xia Jiulong. He is the most capable military Saint by my side. He is good at deduction and can sit still. His wisdom is stronger than mine. As long as you teach him patiently, he might not surpass you, but he will definitely be on par with you, "Ye Qinghan said confidently.
The Chess Venerable nodded silently. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked into the distance. His gaze pierced through the shackles and he suddenly said, "Let's go out. It's getting lively outside."
