110: Finally inheriting the legacy, the immortal weapon slays immortals!
However, Wandering Cultivator Lingxi looked at his achievement, and instead of joy, a deep bitterness appeared on his face.
He had only revitalized a corner.
But the entire chessboard remained a dead end.
He could feel that there were more dead ends and more confusion ahead, which he, with his Dao cultivation, could not see through.
“Alas…”
He sighed, slowly stood up, and bowed to the chessboard again, his expression dejected.
“The wisdom of Purple Mansion Dao Lord is like the vast sea of stars; what this old Daoist has seen is but the light of a firefly.”
“This situation cannot be resolved by human power, it cannot be resolved by human power!”
After speaking, he stepped aside and no longer tried.
Even Wandering Cultivator Lingxi, a Great Perfection Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator famous for a thousand years, had given up!
At this, everyone’s hearts sank to the bottom.
Could it be that the ultimate Legacy of this Purple Mansion Dao Lord would truly be unobtainable by anyone?
…Meanwhile, Ying Chengju’s face was ashen, and his fists clenched with a cracking sound.
He had lost to Chen Xu’s Physical Body.
He had also fallen short in the speed of clearing the Puppet Formation.
Now, in this final test of wisdom and vision, he couldn’t even find the door!
This caused the frustration and jealousy in his heart to almost erupt!
Just as the atmosphere became extremely heavy,
and everyone was thinking of retreating,
a figure in green robes slowly walked out from the back of the crowd.
It was Chen Xu.
He ignored the astonished and puzzled gazes around him and walked directly to the front of the enormous intricate chessboard.
“He… what is he going to do?”
“Is he going to break the deadlock? But even Senior Lingxi couldn’t solve it; this might be very difficult, right?”
“This person’s combat power is strong, but this tests wisdom! It’s probably useless for him to go up there.”
Immediately, whispers broke out in the crowd.
In their opinion, Chen Xu had relied on overwhelming combat power to pass the previous stages.
It had nothing to do with wisdom or vision.
Breaking the deadlock would be even more difficult.
Beside him, Ying Chengju couldn’t help but sneer disdainfully in his heart.
“this prince wants to see how else you can show off!”
He waited to see Chen Xu’s disheveled appearance, suffering from the backlash of the chess game and a damaged Divine Soul.
However, Chen Xu paid no attention to anyone’s thoughts.
He looked at the intricate chessboard before him, with its hidden killing intent, like an unsolvable, dead-end loop.
His eyes were as calm as an ancient well.
The words left by the Purple Mansion Dao Lord echoed in his mind again.
“Only by returning to unity can one see a glimmer of hope…”
Returning to unity… Thinking of this, Chen Xu’s lips curved slightly.
So that’s how it is.
He reached out and casually picked up a white piece from the chess box.
Without the slightest hesitation, without a moment of deduction.
Under everyone’s shocked gaze… *Clack!*
A crisp sound of a chess piece falling echoed throughout the entire hall.
That white piece, neitherbiased norLean… landed precisely on the very center point of the chessboard.
Tengen!
A single move on Tengen!
Boom!
At this moment, everyone’s minds in the entire hall seemed to explode!
“Tengen? He… he placed it on Tengen?!”
“This… this can’t be, right? In this intricate chess game, the black pieces have formed a Dragon-slaying momentum, and the white pieces are barely hanging on. Instead of trying to activate the corners, he actually placed a piece on Tengen?”
“A piece on Tengen, seemingly central, is actually surrounded by enemies on all sides, with no Foundation! This move is indeed a bit bad!”
A Cultivator who understood chess principles couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh softly.
His gaze towards Chen Xu also held a hint of helplessness.
If even such a powerful person couldn’t obtain the Legacy, it was conceivable that no one would be able to get this Legacy.
Ying Chengju first froze, then burst into laughter.
“Hahahahaha! You’re indeed no good either!”
“A move on Tengen! You’re personally burying all the white pieces, completely cutting off any hope of survival!”
“this prince thought you had some brilliant insight; turns out you’re just trying to gain attention!”
He laughed so hard he bent over, as if he had already seen Chen Xu’s fate of being backlashed by the chess game and having his Divine Soul annihilated.
The frustration and humiliation from before vanished at this moment.
So what if you’re stronger than this prince?
You still can’t take the Dao Lord’s Legacy!
However, under everyone’s puzzled gaze,
a sudden change occurred!
Buzz—!!!
The moment Chen Xu’s piece landed on the quietly suspended chessboard,
it suddenly erupted with ten thousand rays of purple light!
The white piece that landed on the Tengen position seemed to transform into a purple sun.
Or like a black hole that devours all things!
A terrifying Dao charm, piercing through the sky, burst forth from that chess piece!
Immediately after.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
On the entire chessboard, the originally still black and white chess pieces seemed to come alive.
They began to move on their own!
They rapidly collided, combined, and evolved on the chessboard!
The black pieces remained domineering, transforming into a black Dragon with bared fangs and claws.
Wanting to crush everything.
But the white piece that landed on Tengen was like a divine needle stabilizing the sea, suppressing the center of the chess game!
It extended billions of invisible threads.
Instantly connecting all the seemingly scattered white pieces!
The originally struggling, individually fighting white pieces, at this moment,
transformed into a vast white net covering the heavens and earth!
Centered on Tengen, it launched a desperate counterattack in all directions!
“This… what’s going on?”
“The chess game… the chess game moved by itself?”
“What is that? Dao! The Laws of Heaven and Earth are evolving?!”
Everyone was instantly stunned by this miraculous scene before their eyes!
At this moment, in their eyes, where were they looking at a game of chess?
That profound and mysterious Dao charm of creation and destruction!
It was clearly like watching a supreme scroll depicting the creation and destruction of the Universe and the contention of the Grand Dao!
On the chessboard, it seemed as if stars were being born and dying, and worlds were undergoing Reincarnation!
Some Cultivators with weaker Foundations felt a stinging pain in their Divine Souls just by looking at it.
They quickly closed their eyes, not daring to look again!
And those Nascent Soul Cultivators with profound Foundations were all mesmerized, frantically comprehending the supreme true meaning contained within the chess game!
Ying Chengju’s laughter stopped abruptly.
The ecstasy on his face instantly froze.
He was completely stunned!
“No… impossible! This is absolutely impossible!”
He frantically urged his Divine Thought, wanting to see the changes in the chess game.
But what he saw was the invincible giant Dragon formed by the black pieces, retreating steadily and disintegrating inch by inch under the strangulation of the white net!
That seemingly suicidal move on Tengen.
Was actually like a long sword, thrust directly into the heart of the giant Dragon!
Breaking the whole with a single point!
Controlling the whole from the center!
Boom!
Accompanied by a mournful Dragon roar.
That arrogant black Dragon shattered with a crash!
Turning into dust all over the sky!
On the entire chessboard, all the black pieces vanished!
Only a board full of white pieces remained, shining brightly.
Guarding the central piece that landed on the Tengen position.
Like stars surrounding the moon!
Like ten thousand officials bowing to the monarch!
The thousand-year deadlock was broken!
It was completely solved by that seemingly most foolish and illogical move on Tengen.
Silence!
The entire hall fell into silence again!
Everyone froze in place, their minds blank.
They stared intently at the figure in green robes, still standing with his hands behind his back, his expression calm.
The shock in their hearts was beyond words.
That was not just a chess move!
That was a divine hand!
It was a great wisdom that transcended the understanding of Cultivators in this Realm!
“Pfft!”
Ying Chengju couldn’t withstand the immense impact.
He suddenly spat out a mouthful of vital blood!
He staggered backward, almost collapsing to the ground.
“No… impossible!… I lost again…”
“He… he actually solved it!”
“Wisdom… vision… I can’t compare in anything…”
At this moment, Ying Chengju’s mentality completely collapsed.
On the other side.
The gray-robed old man, Wandering Cultivator Lingxi, trembled violently, as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning!
He stared blankly at the chessboard, then looked at Chen Xu.
The shock on his face slowly turned into ecstasy, then into enlightenment.
Finally, it transformed into reverence and admiration!
“A move on Tengen… a move on Tengen…”
He muttered to himself, shaking his head repeatedly.
“So that’s it! So that’s how it is!”
“This old Daoist has studied for a thousand years, only knowing to maneuver in the corners, vainly attempting to activate the great Dragon, yet unaware that the true vitality is not in the corners, but in the center!”
“No destruction, no construction; destroy first, then construct! Place oneself in a desperate situation to find life!”
“Unity! This is the true meaning of unity that Purple Mansion Dao Lord spoke of!”
He understood!
At this moment, the Bottleneck that had plagued him for hundreds of years.
Actually showed signs of loosening!
The next second.
Wandering Cultivator Lingxi straightened his robes.
He walked in front of Chen Xu, his expression extremely solemn.
This time, he no longer addressed Chen Xu as “Fellow Daoist” or “Your Excellency,” but instead bowed deeply to Chen Xu, performing a respectfulpresent!
“Lingxi, a Loose Cultivator from the mountains, greets Master!”
“Master’s move today has enlightened Lingxi, and the Grand Dao is within reach! Lingxi will never forget this kindness of guidance!”
Visibly, his posture was respectful to the extreme!
This scene once again shocked the Cultivators around him!
Even an old monster like Wandering Cultivator Lingxi was utterly convinced by this man in green robes.
Willing to perform the Disciple’spresent!
To what extent had this person’s Realm reached? !
Just at this moment!
Buzz—!
In the Void Realm of the main hall, light and shadow flowed.
A blurry humanoid light figure slowly condensed.
The light figure’s face was unclear, but he wore a purple Dao robe.
His body exuded a terrifying majesty that merged with Heaven and Earth.
And suppressed all ages!
Just standing there made all the Nascent Soul Cultivators present feel their Nascent Souls trembling.
Unable to resist the urge to worship him!
“Purple Mansion Dao Lord!”
Someone, unknown, let out a trembling cry of surprise!
The person who appeared was none other than the master of this Secret Realm, the remnant soul of the legendary great power from ancient times—Purple Mansion Dao Lord!
Purple Mansion Dao Lord’s gaze did not fall on anyone else.
His eyes fell directly on Chen Xu.
His gaze carried a hint of surprise and admiration.
Finally transforming into deep emotion.
“A thousand-year deadlock, a single move on Tengen.”
“Heh heh… what a ‘no destruction, no construction,’ what a ‘controlling the center to return to unity.’”
“The younger generation is formidable, truly formidable!”
The Dao Lord’s voice was grand and ethereal.
It resounded directly in everyone’s Sea of Consciousness.
He looked at Chen Xu and slowly explained, “This intricate chess game has never tested chess skills, but rather your vision and Dao.”
“Black pieces represent demons, white pieces represent righteousness. When demons rise and the Dao declines, this is a deadlock. If one adheres to convention, vainly attempting to survive in the corners, one will eventually be devoured by the Demonic Path, suffering eternal damnation.”
“Only by jumping out of the chessboard, not being confined by the gains and losses of a single city or territory, using oneself as a piece, and striking directly at the Dragon’s heart, can one break through theconfusion and see the true self.”
"This move of yours, landing on the Tianyuan, is to take your body as the Dao, to replace the Heavenly Dao with your own heart, to suppress the myriad ages, and to re-establish the Universe!"
"Such courage, such wisdom, even I, who have roamed this Realm for ten thousand years, have never seen its like!"
Purple Mansion Dao Lord's gaze became even more appreciative.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something.
His gaze towards Chen Xu changed abruptly!
"Hmm? On your body... there is actually Primordial Qi?"
"So... so that's how it is..."
The Dao Lord's remnant soul fluctuated, as if he had understood some crucial point.
He let out a sigh.
"Never mind, never mind... This might be the will of Heaven, the only glimmer of hope for this Realm."
As his voice fell, he said no more.
He merely waved his hand towards the deepest part of the main hall.
Rumble!
The stone door that had been tightly shut all this time, at this moment, opened with a crash!
Endless treasures light burst forth from behind the door!
Spirit Qi, so dense it couldn't be liquefied, mixed with the powerful aura of various ancient Magic Treasures.
Instantly filled the entire main hall!
The true Legacy ground had opened!
Everyone's breathing, at this moment, became incredibly heavy, their eyes filled with greed!
However, this time.
No one dared to act rashly again!
Everyone's gaze subconsciously turned towards the figure in green robes.
Having personally witnessed the miracle of Chen Xu passing three stages in a row.
And having personally heard the Purple Mansion Dao Lord's undisguised praise.
In their hearts, Chen Xu's image was indeed too towering!
Unsurpassable!
"Remember..."
Just then, the Purple Mansion Dao Lord's remnant soul, which was about to dissipate, sent another thought directly into Chen Xu's mind.
"The descent of the Seven Killers is just the beginning... The true catastrophe is beyond the Realm..."
"My Legacy might be able to help you, but in the end, you can only rely on yourself..."
"Remember... Only by achieving Unity..."
The message stopped abruptly here.
The Purple Mansion Dao Lord's remnant soul transformed into specks of purple light.
Completely dissipating between heaven and earth.
Chen Xu slowly digested this last piece of information, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Catastrophe beyond the Realm... He raised his head, his gaze calmly fixed on the open Legacy door.
Then, under the awestruck gazes of the other Cultivators.
He took a step forward.
Before him was another world.
Boom!
The moment Chen Xu's foot landed in the Legacy hall.
A torrent of dense Spirit Qi rushed towards him.
This Spirit Qi was incredibly pure; just taking a breath of it caused the Eternal Azure Cloud Art within Chen Xu's body to circulate on its own.
His limbs and bones all let out a comfortable groan.
He looked up.
Even with his calm state of mind, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
This was an indescribable treasure vault.
The hall was vast and boundless, its dome inlaid with countless Spirit Stones the size of fists.
Emitting a soft glow, as bright as day.
On the left, there were small mountains piled high with Top-Grade Spirit Stones, shimmering with spiritual light and radiating myriad rays of colorful light, stinging the eyes.
On the right, there were neatly arranged weapon racks, filled with various ancient Magic Treasures.
Flying Swords, treasure pagodas, bronze bells, jade Ruyi scepters... every Magic Treasure glowed with spiritual light, emitting powerful fluctuations far exceeding those of ordinary Spiritual Artifacts.
Clearly, they had all been Sharp Weapons that once shook the world.
And in the deepest part of the main hall, there were rows of bookshelves made of ten-thousand-year Soul Nurturing Wood.
On the bookshelves, ancient Jade Slips, Pill Formulas, Formation diagrams, and Cultivation Technique classics were arranged in dazzling profusion.
These were all the accumulations of Purple Mansion Dao Lord's ten thousand years of roaming this Realm.
They were the supreme Foundation that would drive any Sect.
Any Imperial Dynasty to madness!
Outside the hall.
Ying Chengju, Wandering Cultivator Lingxi, and all the surviving Cultivators.
Could only watch helplessly as Chen Xu's figure disappeared behind the door.
They could feel the faint rays of treasures light and Spirit Qi leaking from the crack in the door.
That astonishing aura was wildly stimulating everyone's nerves!
Jealousy!
Unwillingness!
All sorts of emotions surged wildly in their hearts.
Especially Ying Chengju.
He stared intently at the closed door, his teeth grinding audibly.
"Ah ah ah!"
He roared madly in his heart.
Why!
Why could this guy who appeared out of nowhere.
Take away everything that should have belonged to him!
He, the Seventh Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with an Innate Hegemon Body, was destined to rule the world!
He could not accept it!
"Just you wait! You just wait for this prince!"
A murderous glint flashed in Ying Chengju's eyes.
"When he comes out, I will kill him! I will tear him to pieces! Everything he obtained will be mine!"
He had already made up his mind to wait outside the hall for him.
He didn't believe that the other party had passed three stages in a row without any consumption of his mental power and combat strength!
As soon as he came out, he would immediately launch a thunderous strike!
By then, the Legacy, the treasures, everything, would change hands!
It wasn't just him.
The other Cultivators present also harbored the same thoughts.
They looked at each other, a glint flashing in their eyes.
They all tacitly stood guard outside the main hall.
No one was willing to leave.
Inside the Legacy hall.
Chen Xu did not touch the Spirit Stones or Magic Treasures.
His gaze calmly swept across the entire hall.
Finally landing on a three-legged bronze altar in the very center of the hall.
That was the true center.
He slowly walked forward.
The moment he approached the altar.
Buzz!
The entire main hall suddenly shook.
On the altar, three human-head-sized orbs of light slowly emerged.
One purple, one crimson, one golden.
The three orbs of light emitted an incredibly profound Daorhyme.
As if containing the ultimate truths of heaven and earth.
The next second.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The three orbs of light, as if guided by something, transformed into three streams of light, giving Chen Xu no time to react, and directly rushed into his glabella!
Boom!!!
A massive amount of information instantly exploded in Chen Xu's Sea of Consciousness!
Chen Xu's body trembled slightly, his eyes instantly closing.
He stood rooted to the spot, his entire being seemingly turning into a statue.
Inside his Sea of Consciousness, earth-shattering changes were occurring at this moment.
The purple orb of light transformed into countless Dao patterns.
Forming a supreme Cultivation Technique named "Zifu Transformation Scripture"!
This was precisely the crystallization of Purple Mansion Dao Lord's lifelong cultivation!
It meticulously explained every step, every crucial point for breaking through from the Great Perfection Nascent Soul Stage of this Realm to the Soul Transformation Realm!
"So that's how it is... The heavens and earth are incomplete, the Laws are imperfect, forcibly breaking through will only lead to assimilation by the Laws of heaven and earth, resulting in death and the dissipation of the Dao... even if one fortunately breaks through to Soul Transformation, there will be many constraints in this Realm! It is truly difficult to unleash the full power of a Soul Transformation Dao Lord!"
"Only by using supreme magical power to open up a Small World within one's body, forming one's own Laws, and replacing the Heavenly Dao with one's own Dao, can one break free from the shackles and achieve Heaven-Defying Soul Transformation!"
The Bottleneck that had plagued the Cultivators of this Realm for ten thousand ages.
That unpierceable paper window.
At this moment, before Chen Xu, it was completely torn open!
A path to the Great Dao of Soul Transformation.
Was revealed before his eyes!
Chen Xu's heart was filled with understanding.
Next, came the crimson orb of light.
It contained... Purple Mansion Dao Lord's comprehensive principles of Alchemy!
From the most basic analysis of medicinal properties, to the refining techniques of various ancient Pill Formulas, and then to the legendary supreme Alchemy of using heaven and earth as a furnace and the sun and moon as fire!
Countless Alchemy knowledge flooded into Chen Xu's mind.
He felt as if he had transformed into Purple Mansion Dao Lord, personally refined billions of Spirit Pills, and his understanding of Alchemy instantly elevated to an incredible Realm.
If he were to refine pills now, he was confident that he could refine Top-Grade Medicinal Pills using only the most ordinary medicinal ingredients!
Finally, there was the golden orb of light.
Formation Dao!
Purple Mansion Dao Lord's comprehensive principles of Formation Dao, by which he made his name!
From small Spirit Gathering Formations and Maze Formations, to ancient killing Formations that could lock down the heavens and trap the earth, and mountain-protecting grand Formations!
Countless Formation diagrams, countless ultimate truths of Formation Dao... constantly evolved, combined, and came into being and perished in his Sea of Consciousness.
He seemed to see the rise and fall of grand Formations, the directions of Spiritual Veins.
All things in heaven and earth, in his eyes, seemed capable of being transformed into Formation Foundations.
Mountains and rivers, sun, moon, and stars, all could be Formations!
Foundation!
What kind of terrifying Foundation was this!
Having obtained these three Legacies, Chen Xu's strength.
Underwent a true transformation!
This transformation was not a simple increase in cultivation.
But an all-round sublimation from his vision and perspective to his practical methods!
His current attainments in Alchemy and Formation Dao, looking at the entire Cultivation World.
Were already undeniably those of a Grandmaster!
After an unknown amount of time.
Chen Xu slowly opened his eyes.
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
Feeling the vast knowledge in his mind, a smile appeared on his face.
This trip was worth it!
However, just as he thought the Legacy had ended.
Crack!
In the center of the hall, the bronze altar, which had been silent, suddenly developed cracks on its surface!
A powerful aura wildly leaked out from within the cracks!
That aura was cold and violent, filled with an indescribable intent of immortal slaying!
Just a trace of the aura caused the temperature of the entire Legacy hall to plummet.
The air seemed to freeze!
The smile on Chen Xu's face instantly vanished, his expression becoming extremely solemn.
He looked at the altar that was about to collapse, and he could feel that the aura of immortal slaying.
Was a hundred times more terrifying than when he faced Pojun Demon Lord!
That was an absolute power capable of severing Laws and annihilating all things!
Boom!!!
The next second, the bronze altar exploded with a crash!
Fragments scattered everywhere!
A broken sword tip, about three inches long, completely rusted, as if dug out from a scrap metal pile, quietly floated in mid-air.
It had no spiritual light, no unusual phenomena.
It looked like an ordinary piece of scrap metal.
But Chen Xu's pupils suddenly contracted!
All his attention was firmly drawn to this sword tip!
Yes, at this moment, he could feel that the terrifying immortal slaying aura that made his heart palpitate was emanating from this seemingly ordinary sword tip!
immortal slaying!
The last message left by Purple Mansion Dao Lord.
Appeared in his mind again.
This was a fragment of the legendary ancient Immortal Artifact, "immortal slaying," which could even cut down Immortals!
