Chapter 389 Yin-Yang Chessboard! Lin Xiyue suddenly understands, the big yellow dog's fear!
"This is?!"
When his gaze fell upon the chessboard on that simple stone table, Elder Jian's ethereal body shook violently.
He stared fixedly at that seemingly ordinary endgame of interlaced black and white pieces, feeling an indescribable, astonishing Dao rhythm filling it like a vast ocean!
In a daze, he seemed to see the myriad Daos of the world, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, life, death, and Reincarnation...
All tangible and intangible rules between heaven and earth were actually encompassed within this square-foot-sized chessboard!
Such a masterpiece was simply unheard of!
It wasn't just Elder Jian.
Li Fan and Gu Zhiyun, who were following behind, naturally noticed this game of chess as well.
"Ugh!"
As soon as the two of them cast their gazes over, they both let out a muffled groan simultaneously.
Although their Realms were far inferior to Elder Jian's, they also felt the terrifying Dao rhythm contained within!
Li Fan felt as if the black and white pieces on the chessboard had transformed into billions of Sword Qi soaring into the sky, constantly practicing some supreme sword formation.
Gu Zhiyun, on the other hand, saw the ultimate Profound Truth of array formation evolution within those crisscrossing grids.
Both of their minds were shaken, and vaguely, they felt as if they had grasped something extremely precious from this endgame.
However!
What they felt at this moment was not even worth mentioning compared to Lin Xiyue, who was walking at the very back!
At the first sight of this chessboard, Lin Xiyue was stunned on the spot!
Her eyes completely lost focus, and she stood there dazed.
Because, in her vision, what was on the stone table was not a chessboard at all!
It was a mass of gray, boundless Chaos!
Within this Chaos, the sun, moon, and stars fell, all things in heaven and earth collapsed, and the myriad Daos evolved and collided frantically.
And when these myriad Daos evolved to the extreme, they actually began to continuously blend and contract, until finally...
That vast Chaos suddenly reversed, transforming into black and white, head-to-tail embracing—the Yin and Yang Twin Fish!
Wuji gives birth to Taiji, Taiji gives birth to the Two Polarities!
All things return to one, Yin and Yang circulate!
"Hmm?!"
"Big Sister Yue, what's wrong with you?!"
Gu Zhiyun had just come back to her senses from that profound array formation insight when she turned and saw Lin Xiyue standing there like a wooden statue.
Not only that, but an extremely mysterious and profound Yin and Yang fluctuation actually began to surge inexplicably from Lin Xiyue's body!
Although that fluctuation was weak, it carried a supreme Concept that transcended all things in heaven and earth!
"Big Sister Yue? Don't scare me!"
Gu Zhiyun grew anxious, her face immediately showing a worried expression as she stepped forward, wanting to check on her condition.
"Don't make a sound!!"
At this critical moment, Elder Jian, whose eyes were shining, was quick-witted and instantly stepped in to intercept Gu Zhiyun.
"Don't disturb her!"
This Girl Lin is... falling into an Epiphany!"
How sharp was Elder Jian's vision?
He saw at a glance that Lin Xiyue had fallen into a state of deep Epiphany that all Cultivators dreamed of!
"Ah?!"
"Big Sister Yue... has an Epiphany just like that?!"
"Just from glancing at this chessboard?!"
Hearing Elder Jian's words, Gu Zhiyun stopped in her tracks, completely stunned.
The Dao rhythm on this chessboard was extremely profound and unpredictable. Even with the sixty percent Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability boost she had now,
it still felt like reading a divine book to her.
But what was the result?
Big Sister Yue hadn't even looked for two seconds before she started an Epiphany on the spot?!
This was simply too outrageous!
"Could it be... that this is the true worth of the Dao Ancestor's younger sister??"
Gu Zhiyun clicked her tongue inwardly.
At the same time, this scene naturally did not escape the eyes of the Big Yellow Dog.
"Interesting..."
"To be able to start an Epiphany directly upon seeing this yin-yang chessboard for the first time."
"This little girl... is not simple at all!"
The Big Yellow Dog cast its deep gaze onto Lin Xiyue, an extremely intense glint flashing in its canine eyes.
One must know that within this yin-yang chessboard, there was a trace of the supreme Dao rhythm of 'that one'!
Even its brilliant master, when he first obtained this chessboard back then,
had sat under a tree and studied it for three whole months before barely grasping a few things from it.
But how could this little girl understand something just by looking at it once?
"Strange..."
"What kind of Prodigy is this?"
"Let Dog Master take a good look at your background!"
The Big Yellow Dog was puzzled, its curiosity completely piqued.
So it narrowed its eyes slightly, and two clusters of mysterious golden divine light immediately rose deep within its pupils as it prepared to use its Divine Ability to quietly peek into Lin Xiyue's background.
But!
Just as the thought of "peeking" had barely arisen.
BOOM!!!
An indescribable, inexpressible great terror, like a world-destroying Lightning Tribulation crashing down from the Nine Heavens, immediately surged into its heart!
Its spiritual sense issued an extremely shrill warning at this moment!
That intuition in the dark was frantically reminding it:
If it dared to put its thoughts into action, if it dared to touch that forbidden Karma,
it would surely invite supreme erasure and fall into a state beyond redemption!
"Woof?!"
"This feeling...!"
"How is this possible?!!"
That feeling was too terrifying, too real!
So much so that the Big Yellow Dog's originally lazy body instantly tensed up, and it sprang up from the ground with a "whoosh"!
Its sleek yellow fur stood on end on the spot, like a startled porcupine!
Even that tail, which was usually held high, was now so scared that it was tucked tightly between its two hind legs!
The next second!
The Big Yellow Dog didn't hesitate for a moment, decisively cutting off the divine light in its eyes and completely abandoning the idea of peeking at Lin Xiyue!
The moment it gave up its spying, that sense of impending doom hanging over its head finally receded like a tide.
"Huff... huff..."
"Dog Master was scared to death!!"
"This little girl... what on earth is her background?!"
The Big Yellow Dog lay on the ground, panting heavily, still shaken.
When it looked at Lin Xiyue again, its expression was no longer as relaxed as before; there was even a deep trace of awe hidden in its eyes.
Having lived for so long, this was the first time it had experienced the feeling of almost exploding just by taking a single look!
And this extremely dramatic scene was fully captured by Elder Jian, who had been secretly maintaining his vigilance!
At the moment he saw the divine light rise in the Big Yellow Dog's eyes, Elder Jian guessed that it wanted to check Lin Xiyue's background.
At that time, his heart tightened, fearing that this unfathomable old demon dog would see something and act against Lin Xiyue.
But before he could even speak to stop it, this Big Yellow Dog actually acted as if it had seen a ghost, getting so scared that its fur stood on end and it even tucked its tail!
Then it voluntarily gave up on that plan!
This bizarre twist left Elder Jian somewhat dazed, while also sparking great curiosity.
"This Big Yellow Dog's strength is unfathomable. To be able to scare it into such a state..."
"What exactly did it perceive in Girl Lin?"
Elder Jian's mind raced, and in just a moment, a cunning glint flashed in his old eyes that had seen all the vicissitudes of life.
"Fellow Daoist Dog, what's wrong with you?"
Elder Jian pretended to know nothing and asked the Big Yellow Dog in a casual tone, intending to use this to probe the situation.
"Cough, cough..."
Hearing Elder Jian's voice, the Big Yellow Dog's body stiffened, and it quickly coughed twice, trying to hide its embarrassment and panic.
"It's nothing, it's nothing..."
"I've been asleep for too long, my blood and Qi aren't flowing well, and I'm still a bit dazed. Just stretching my muscles and bones."
The Big Yellow Dog gave an extremely stiff excuse. Then, its eyes rolled, and it couldn't help but ask Elder Jian cautiously:
"This little girl who's having an Epiphany, her talent is indeed not bad."
"What is her background?"
Although the Big Yellow Dog tried its best to hide it, Elder Jian still keenly heard the trace of shock and wariness hidden in its tone.
This made Elder Jian's heart instantly liven up.
"It seems Girl Lin indeed has something that makes this yellow dog feel awe!"
"Tsk... in that case, with such a great opportunity, I might as well make use of it!"
The shrewd Elder Jian pondered slightly and immediately had an idea.
He was very familiar with the act of using a powerful person's name to intimidate others!
The next moment.
Under the Big Yellow Dog's slightly expectant gaze.
Elder Jian did not speak to answer, but instead, his expression suddenly became incomparably solemn.
He took a deep look at the Big Yellow Dog, then extremely slowly and extremely solemnly... shook his head.
That look of being secretive clearly said:
"This is a taboo of heaven and earth, it cannot be said, it cannot be spoken, those who understand, understand!"
Who would have thought!
Seeing Elder Jian's tight-lipped manner, as if even mentioning it would bring about a great Karma.
The Big Yellow Dog instead gasped, and the expression on its face became increasingly shocked and uncertain!
