On the cliff.
As the Nimble Chess Set was destroyed, a phantom slowly appeared.
Soon, the phantom solidified.
It was an old Daoist priest.
His hair was snow-white as he stood in the void, looking like an immortal.
"I'm Perfected Daoist Linglong. Greetings, fellow Daoist."
Perfected Daoist Linglong's appearance shocked countless people.
However, his gaze landed on Lu Changsheng with eyes filled with admiration.
"Greetings, Senior."
Lu Changsheng greeted politely.
"There's no need to call me a senior. Fellow Daoist, you've already surpassed me in terms of Dharmic Dao to be able to solve my Nimble Chess Set. You're just a little older, so you can't be considered a senior."
Perfected Daoist Linglong spoke. It was not an ordinary Essence Spirit phantom, but one with intelligence.
However, the crowd went into an uproar again after Perfected Linglong finished speaking.
They did not expect Lu Changsheng to really solve the chess set.
"Senior Linglong, is the chess set really that easy to solve?"
Daoist Qingmu looked at Perfected Linglong in a daze and asked with indignation in his eyes.
However, Perfected Linglong glanced at him and could not help but sigh.
"Back then, I used the Dao of chess to create a chess set that was filled with infinite possibilities. As a result, I went berserk and developed a terrifying obsession and mental demon, which eventually led to the creation of the Nimble Chess Set."
"Fellow Daoist, you're right. The white chess pieces represent the self and the black chess pieces represent the mental demon. This game of chess is not played against others, but against oneself."
"This poor Daoist believes that as one's cultivation level increases, the obsession in one's heart will also become greater and greater. That is why the Nimble Chess Game will only determine one's life and death upon entering it. That's because the more one wants to break out of the chess game, the harder it will be to break out of the chess game.
Perfected Linglong told the cruel truth to the crowd.
At that moment, the crowd was extremely silent.
No one believed that the Nimble Chess Set was a game without a solution.
"This is impossible. This is not a game without a solution. This is not a game without a solution. I see hope. Senior Linglong, I see hope. It's just a matter of time. It's just a matter of time."
Daoist Qingmu said loudly. He did not believe that it was a game without a solution.
He did see hope. As long as he took a few more steps, he would be able to solve it.
However, Perfected Linglong sighed with a guilty look in his eyes.
"Actually, all of this is an illusion. Once you enter the game, the chess pieces are you and your inner demon. You may seem to have a chance of survival, but it is actually an illusion given to you by your inner demon. The white chess piece is the dragon, which is your confidence, and the black chess piece is the tiger, which is your obsession."
"You are confident that you can solve this game, so the white chess pieces become stronger and stronger. Your inner demon also believes that you can solve this game, so you see hope. Once you enter the game, you will always think that you can solve the chess pieces in your heart."
"Actually, when you are deeply trapped, if you know how to let go, if you know how to give up, only then can you truly break free."
"We cultivators spend our entire lives pursuing the great Dao of longevity. However, the truth is that there are countless wonderful things waiting for us in Heaven and Earth! Let go of the obsession in your heart, let go of the chess pieces in your hands, and experience the joys and sorrows of life. This is the way to break out of this situation. "
Daoist Linglong said calmly, silencing countless people.
However, some people were still obsessed. Daoist Qingmu had completely entered the game.
However, there were still people who were crazy. Qing Mu Daoist had completely fallen into the trap.
Seven thousand years of meditation.
Seven thousand years of meditation.
Seven thousand years of meditation.
But in the end, it was telling you to let go.
It was impossible to face this calmly. Madness was inevitable.
However, at that moment, Lu Changsheng's voice slowly sounded.
"Senior Qing Mu, actually, isn't life like a game of chess?"
"Heaven and earth are the chess pieces, and the mortal world is the pawn. Everything in the world is nothing more than picking it up and letting it go. No matter how deep the obsession in the heart is, you just need to wake up. So what if you sit in meditation for seven thousand years? If you can understand it, ten years is better than a thousand years. If you can't, a thousand years is like a day. "
"Everyone, let go of your obsession. Let go of the chess pieces in your hands. Forget the chessboard in your heart."
"Changsheng has solved the game. Life should be full of joy. Don't let the golden goblet be empty."
"Let go, let go. How can you gain without letting go?"
Lu Changsheng had completely understood.
It was not that he suddenly became enlightened.
Instead, he saw the appearance of all living beings in the game.
He saw the people who were like Daoist Qingmu.
They picked up their obsession, but they could not let it go.
The more they could not let it go, the deeper they went into the game.
In fact, they had solved the Nimble Chess Game long ago. They had just been playing with their inner demons.
"It's easy to pick it up, but it's not easy to let it go. Although I understand it, I don't want to understand it. I understand it, but I can't let it go. The game has always been in my heart. It's my heart that can't let it go, but I can't let it go."
Daoist Qingmu laughed bitterly.
He sat cross-legged under the cliff, his eyes filled with sorrow.
Soon, beams of light spread out from his body.
This was the Dao Transformation.
In the end, he did not take that step.
The obsession in his heart became a game that could never be solved.
Even if someone told him that it was just his obsession, he was already in the game.
But he was already in the game. Unless he realized it himself, he would not listen to anyone else.
Even if Perfected Linglong appeared, he would not believe it.
He was not the only one.
Most of the thousands of people sitting under the cliff were silent. In the end, they closed their eyes.
The chessboard appeared in their hearts again.
It did not matter if it was the Nimble Chess Game or not. They were too obsessed. They picked it up but could not bear to let it go.
However, some people stood up. They had not completely understood it.
They did not choose to continue playing.
They looked into the distance and felt the warmth of the golden sun. They shook the dust off their bodies, looked at Lu Changsheng, and bowed deeply.
"Although I did not understand it, I still thank you!"
"Thank you for your reminder."
"The game is already in my heart. It is difficult to solve, but what you said is extreme. Life is also a game of chess. Thank you, Fellow Daoist."
They spoke one after another, then gradually left the Sacred Ground of Linglong.
No one knew where they went.
No one knew what they were thinking.
But at least they chose another way to solve the game.
"It's my fault! I never thought that I would harm all of you. I feel guilty. "
Perfected Linglong could not help but feel ashamed.
"Senior, if you have obsession in your heart, it has nothing to do with the game."
Lu Changsheng shook his head.
He did not think that Perfected Linglong was wrong.
"Sigh! Fellow Daoist is so young, yet you are already able to think of this level. I am ashamed. However, Fellow Daoist has already broken through the stalemate. I do not have anything valuable on me, so I do not know what to give you. This is the Exquisite Chessboard, which is my favorite treasure. I will give it to you.
Perfected Linglong said.
Then, a chessboard emerged from the cliff and fell into Lu Changsheng's hands.
The chessboard was crystal clear. It was an extraordinary immortal artifact. However, it was not the chessboard that was scary. It was the chess pieces. Each chess piece was an immortal artifact!
That's right, each chess piece was an immortal artifact.
There were a total of 361 pieces.
It was a peerless treasure.
"This is the Exquisite Chessboard, a treasure that I've spent my entire life refining. If you're facing an enemy, the chessboard can transform into a formation board, and each chess piece can transform into a celestial soldier or general. If you're knowledgeable about formations, you can activate the Heaven and Earth Chess Formation and slay immortals."
Perfected Linglong said.
In an instant, it attracted countless envious looks.
"Fellow cultivator, let's meet again in the Celestial Realm."
Perfected Linglong's voice gradually disappeared.
His figure also gradually disappeared.
Soon, at the bottom of the cliff.
Everything returned to normal.
The Nimble Chessboard was no longer in the world.
However, he glanced at the people at the bottom of the cliff.
Lu Changsheng remained silent.
The person who created the Nimble Chessboard was gone.
The Nimble Chessboard was gone.
However, everyone had a chess game in their hearts.
Lu Changsheng was speechless.
He did not speak and just watched everything quietly.
He was thinking about something.
Sacred Lord Linglong did not speak either. She just looked at Lu Changsheng quietly.
However, soon.
This matter, without any accident, spread out.
In less than half a day.
The world was shocked again.
The Nimble Chessboard that no one had solved for hundreds of thousands of years.
They did not expect Lu Changsheng to solve it.
However, late at night.
There was something that happened.
The Middle Continent was in an uproar.
