Immortal Emperor’s Self-cultivation

"That one thing?"

Li Hanguang looked puzzled.

Shen Tian nodded: "At the other end of the Necromancer Abyss, there are evil spirits at the level of Immortal Emperors who are trying to come to this world!"

The morning light brought some mist.

The sea of ​​clouds in the distance parted slightly, and the wind passed through the gaps in the clouds, brushing the black hair in front of the eyebrows of the two.

Li Hanguang was silent for a while, and then let out an ooh.

There is no speech between the cliffs.

Shen Tian turned around, walked towards the pavilion by the cliff and said, "Play a game of chess with me!"

Li Hanguang said: "Good!"

There is a low stone table in the pavilion, on which there are two chess baskets, black and white.

Li Hanguang said, "Where's the chessboard?"

Clap!

Shen Tian raised his hand and tapped lightly on the stone table, dozens of thin golden lines slowly emerged from the surface, criss-crossing.

Those lines quickly covered the stone table, but they didn't stop, but continued to rise.

A large number of lines continued to extend, heading in all directions, and soon submerged into the sea of ​​clouds, covering the entire world.

Li Hanguang raised his head, and the original ancient pavilions and cliffs all disappeared.

There is only this chessboard left in the whole world.

There has never been such a complex chessboard in the world.

A mortal chessboard usually only has nineteen vertical and horizontal lines, and only three hundred and sixty-one intersections, but it already has infinite changes.

Anyone who is proficient in chess must be superior in computing power.

Immortal cultivators' soul strength is far superior to that of ordinary people, and of course the computing power is also the same.

But... Every time there is an extra line on the chessboard, the test for the players is doubled.

It is those great supernatural beings who are proficient in this way in the ancestral court. The chess they usually play has forty-nine moves in vertical and horizontal directions, which is quite a success. !

But at this moment, the chess game in front of Li Hanguang and Shen Tian has more than tens of thousands of lines?

The most important thing is that this chess game...is so fucking three-dimensional!

Li Hanguang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Does it need to be so complicated?"

Shen Tian sighed: "The reality is like this, let's start!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and thousands of black chess pieces flew out of the chess basket and scattered on the incomparably vast chessboard.

Snapped!

The chess pieces were placed in place, emitting a faint purple mysterious light, vaguely evil, and shrouded the entire void in coldness.

Li Hanguang glanced at it without any hesitation. With a flick of his fingers, thousands of white pieces rolled out like a long river and landed on the chessboard.

Immediately, the white light bloomed like a star river, dispelling the darkness.

Shen Tian looked calm and continued to play.

Li Hanguang followed closely!

Clap clap!

Clap clap!

There is nothingness in the world, it is extremely quiet, there is no unnecessary sound, only the sound of countless chess pieces falling on the chessboard, full of rhythm, just like listening to the rain outside the window!

The two settled so quickly that it seemed that they didn't need to think about it at all.

Black and white are constantly fighting and cannibalizing each other, just like the struggle between the sun and the moon, in an instant it seems like hundreds of millions of years have passed.

Suddenly, all movement stopped.

Li Hanguang looked at the chessboard where more than 80% of the space was occupied by black and white, his brows were slightly frowned, and he hesitated.

Crash!

At this moment, the black torrent suddenly surged, like a huge wave, swallowing a large area of ​​white.

The entire void was dimmed.

The remaining baizi exuded a very weak breath, looking extremely pitiful, like a candle in the wind.

Slap!

Li Hanguang withdrew his hand, and countless white pieces that were ready to go fell back into the chess basket.

The dense lines disappear.

The two still sat under the pavilion, relatively silent.

Shen Tian looked at Li Hanguang and praised: "I have played this game of chess with many people, and no one has ever played this game before!"

Li Hanguang said: "Unfortunately, we still lost!"

Shen Tian said: "We lost the game, but we didn't! According to your method, we can buy more time!"

"And, if you didn't hesitate at the last moment, maybe it could last longer!"

Li Hanguang naturally knew what Shen Tian was talking about.

If at that moment, he was willing to give up those millions of white stones, he would be able to break free from the seemingly mortal situation in exchange for a new life!

Li Hanguang said: "If I don't hesitate, maybe I won't even make it this far!"

Shen Tian opened his mouth, but did not speak.

Li Hanguang said: "One more round!"

Shen Tian smiled: "Okay!"

...

It gradually moves westward, and the moon rises eastward.

The two were immersed in the chess game, and they couldn't feel the passage of time at all.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

The people by the stream had long since lost their nervousness, but they did not leave, they practiced quietly and waited there.

Shen Aoxue went to the top of the mountain to look at it a few times, and found that the two were playing chess, so she retreated in order not to disturb them.

The stars are everywhere.

The palaces on the top of the Jade Emperor are shining brightly under the stars.

The void inside the pavilion has long been filled with unimaginably thin lines, and there are black and white chess pieces all over it, like a vast and endless sea of ​​stars. Ordinary people would have a headache just looking at it, let alone calculating the truth in detail.

The whole chess game is full, and there is almost no space left.

The pitch-black torrent occupied a large area of ​​the world, leaving Baizi with very little room to survive.

The two sat there, their faces dignified and serious, they did not move for a long time, like two stone sculptures.

Li Hanguang was holding a white piece, his complexion was pale, and there was sweat on his forehead, but his eyes were like the scorching sun in the boundless darkness, bursting out with unprecedented light!

His gaze was fixed on a certain place on the chessboard, rooted deeply like a sword.

Shen Tian was also looking at that place, his pupils constricted, as nervous as Li Hanguang, with a light of thought.

For this step alone, Li Hanguang has been thinking about it for nine days and nine nights.

He had never thought about anything for so long.

But this matter is very different, even if it is him, it is absolutely impossible to make up his mind in a very short period of time.

What he is holding in his hand at this moment is not just a pawn, but also a chance of survival.

The vitality that belongs to the human race!

...

On this day, a person came to the top of the mountain.

The woman is dressed in white, peerless and independent, shrouded in mist that seems real and illusory, exuding colorful fairy light.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, her slender body is motionless, and the celestial light around her is constantly evolving, as if she is changing the heavens and time, and the eternal reincarnation.

She looked at the two people under the pavilion, at the chessboard, and frowned beautifully, lost in thought.

"Senior sister, when did you come back?"

Shen Aoxue's voice suddenly sounded, full of surprises.

Shen Xiao turned his head, glanced at her, and said, "Just arrived!"

Shen Aoxue let out a sigh, and then said: "Are you looking for Father?"

Shen Xiao nodded: "In the past month, I have passed on many jade slips to Master, but I have not received any reply. I am worried about what happened, so I will take a look!"

Shen Aoxue nodded suddenly.

Shen Xiao continued to look down the pavilion, and suddenly asked, "Is he Li Hanguang?"

Shen Aoxue nodded: "Yes!"

Shen Xiao's eyes showed a complicated look: "Sure enough, a hero born a boy!"

Shen Aoxue suddenly asked: "Senior sister, if I remember correctly, this chess game... Father has also played with you! What is the mystery in it?"

Shen Xiao shook his head: "There's no mystery! It's just difficult!"

Shen Aoxue asked: "How difficult is it?"

Shen Xiao said with emotion: "No matter how you imagine, it is more difficult than you imagined!"

Shen Aoxue was speechless.

The second daughter stopped talking and quietly watched the changes in the game.

Shen Aoxue has never played this chess before, but she is not ignorant of the way of chess. After careful observation, she gradually discovered that there is indeed no mystery in this chess.

It is very simple, very simple and difficult!

An unimaginable number of vertical and horizontal vertical lines converge into innumerable points.

With only this as the foundation, this chess game is impossible to solve!

To play this game of chess, there are almost abnormal requirements for people's thinking ability and computing power.

Even with Shen Aoxue Da Luo Jinxian's spiritual strength, it would be a bit overwhelming to play this game of chess!

Now this game of chess has come to an end.

The battle between black and white is faintly about to tell the result.

Shen Aoxue didn't want to figure out the specific steps for the two to play chess, and she felt dizzy after thinking about it for a while.

She looked directly at the overall situation, wanting to see the final result: "This... White is doomed to lose!"

This is obvious.

In the whole chess game, the living space of the white pieces is only as big as a palm, and the rest is covered by the black pieces.

Even a three-year-old child can draw such a conclusion.

Shen Xiao didn't answer, her eyes swept across the whole chess game, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper, her mental strength and spiritual power were being consumed at an unprecedented speed, the celestial light rolled around her body rapidly, and her overpowering appearance was faintly visible in the clouds and mist.

Fortunately, understanding the situation is much easier than playing chess in person.

She finally saw the ending, and then the expression on her face became tense, and her breathing gradually became short of breath, just like the two in the game.

...

Li Hanguang is still holding the chess pieces, his gaze is like a rock that will never change.

He suddenly felt some pain in his eyes and closed his eyes.

Countless pictures came one after another, which are all the memories of the past.

When do people think about what happened for no reason?

Touching the scenery does not count.

Probably when I was very tired and when I was about to die!

He is really tired now.

Tired like never before!

This chess game is the most complicated chess game he has ever played in his life, and it is more tiring than deducing and completing any ancient method.

The omniscient insight given by the small bronze seal seems to know the true meaning of this game. He no longer gives the answer as quickly as before, and often consumes a lot of his mental energy to get a little clue.

Everything is difficult.

It would be as difficult for the human race to protect themselves in the ensuing turbulence.

What they have to face is a civilization that has developed to its peak.

In comparison, the few million years that the human race has existed is just a drop in the ocean in the eyes of the evil spirits.

how to win

"Could it really be ashes to ashes, dust to dust?"

Li Hanguang suddenly opened his eyes, pinched the chess piece, and placed it on... To be precise, it hit the chessboard.

Snapped!

There was a soft sound.

Then there were bursts of buzzing.

All the pieces on the chessboard fell off one after another, leaving nothing left.

The chessboard dissipated.

All visions are gone.

Shen Tian came back to his senses, looked at Li Hanguang with pity on his face: "After all, it's still close!"

Li Hanguang's face was exhausted: "It's almost, it's almost impossible!"

There has never been any probability of the outcome of this war.

Regardless of the odds of winning, in the end there are only two outcomes: victory or defeat.

Not exist only lost a little.

Before that moment arrives, all calculations and deductions will ultimately involve gambling.

"But you didn't waste your time!"

Shen Xiao came slowly, saluted Shen Tian and said, "Master!"

Li Hanguang glanced at her.

Shen Tian said: "This is my disciple, many people are used to calling her Chaos Immortal King!"

Li Hanguang was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that the disciples of the Human Emperor were already the supreme beings in the realm of the Immortal King.

However, thinking of the chess game with Shen Tianxia, ​​he felt that it was not surprising that he could teach people in the Immortal King Realm.

So he got up slightly, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen the Immortal King of Chaos!"

Shen Xiao nodded, looked at him and said, "You play chess very well! I have also played this chess before. It is far less far-reaching than yours, and I even saw a glimmer of life!"

Li Hanguang shook his head: "An opportunity that is not grasped is a fake!"

Shen Xiao said, "But time is real!"

With the previous deduction, it is enough for them to fight for a long time on the original basis!

"You can do this within a month, I believe... one day, you can solve all the problems!"

She seemed to have great confidence in Li Hanguang.

The entire ancestral family, no matter who hears her encouragement, will be full of fighting spirit.

Not just because of her status.

More because she herself is a legendary existence.

In those days when the Human Sovereign was not ascended, she was synonymous with the dawn of the entire ancestral family and the human race.

Li Hanguang looked calm, cupped his hands, did not respond, just said: "I'm a little tired, I want to take a rest!"

Shen Tian hurriedly said: "Almost forgot, Aoxue!"

Shen Aoxue responded: "Understood, Father!"

Li Hanguang left with Shen Aoxue.

Only Shen Tian and Shen Xiao were left on the top of the mountain.

Shen Xiao looked at Li Hanguang's leaving back, admiring silently.

Shen Tian smiled and said, "How? Not bad, right?"

Shen Xiao nodded: "It's really good! It's very similar to Master when you were young!"

Shen Tian said: "When I was his age, my achievements were not so high!"

Shen Xiao said: "The times make heroes, how can we be the same at this time and at that time? If there is no master, you have fought against the human race for so many springs and autumns, and the five regions have long been destroyed, and there would be no him!"

"Even if there is, he can't grow so fast!"

Shen Tian waved his hands and chuckled.

...

There is a clear pond in the mountains, surrounded by clouds and mist, with hidden heat, and large lotus flowers floating on the water, like a fairyland.

Lying on his back, Li Hanguang sank to the bottom of the water, feeling the vital water brushing against every corner of his body, closing his eyes and not moving.

He is indeed tired.

I just don't know whether it was because of playing that game of chess, or seeing the future many years later.

Knowing the ending early, but being unable to change it is a more exhausting thing.

Can the final question be solved?

What should he do?

In the game of chess, he can ruin the game and start over.

But at that time, can everything be overthrown and restarted?

Such thoughts flooded my mind one after another like water.

Countless possibilities appeared in front of his eyes in an instant, and then they were disillusioned.

Reinvent the wheel?

Suddenly, he caught the word again and opened his eyes suddenly.

Maybe it does!
