The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 429: Chess Master, Yan Luo Performs

"Gun Dao, could it be Lin Sheng?"

"Is that the true meaning of the origin of the spear?"

The sudden burst of powerful spear intent made everyone on the cushion open their eyes and look in surprise.

Even though the Dao Realm was covering it and isolating it from some external interference, the spear intent that went straight to the true origin of the meaning crossed the barrier of the Dao Realm, waking up many people who were completely immersed in their perception.

On one of the cushions, there was a figure floating in the air, holding a pitch-black magic spear with a dazzling silver light at the tip.

In the void behind him, a gun body that reached the sky was faintly condensed, giving a feeling that the heaven and earth had condensed into a gun.

The gun, the ancestor of all weapons, is invincible!

Everyone felt the dazzling edge and the calmness like the sea from each other, which was both domineering and sharp but not frivolous and arrogant.

"He actually condensed the true meaning of the origin. I remember that he has not been here for long."

"Lin Sheng's talent is also extremely high. When he first came here, he had a heavenly Dao heart, and he has been here for ten thousand years."

"He has mastered the Way of the Spear of the Ten Thousand Wars Immortal Art to this extent. I heard from Elder Wang that if he becomes a True Immortal, he will be considered an elite in his realm and be able to fight a hundred with one!"

Everyone stared at the tall and straight Lin Sheng with complicated eyes.

After Mu Sheng and Ming Sheng, the third person who could challenge the Zhenzun Tower finally appeared, but it was not them, so they couldn't help feeling lonely and bitter.

Lin Sheng is a young man dressed in black. He looks extremely cold and handsome. He has double pupils of different colors, which are dark purple and black. A strange phenomenon occurred when he was born. He has been a monstrous genius since he was young. He accidentally fell here and disappeared from the heavens.

At this moment, he slowly opened his eyes, his breath was restrained, and the sharp gun intent around his body also dissipated.

Feeling the focused gazes of the crowd, he looked calm and unperturbed as he slowly landed on the cushion and put away the Daojie Emperor Soldier in his hand.

Then, he looked into the distance and saw the young man in front of the house. He also turned his head to look over here, and the two of them looked at each other.

Lin Sheng's eyes were calm and he nodded slightly, almost imperceptibly, as a greeting.

This sudden realization was somewhat due to the stimulation from the young man, but the other party seemed to choose to take a shortcut.

He could understand it. After all, although the other party had a very high aspiration for the Tao, aspiration for the Tao and the aptitude for cultivation were two different things. In addition, he arrived late, so the best way to catch up with others was to take a shortcut.

Unfortunately, that road is blocked.

"Congratulations to Lin Sheng. You have entered the second step of the test and can now challenge the True Venerable Tower."

Other saints nearby congratulated him.

Although there was a sense of urgency in the heart, the surface was harmonious.

Lin Sheng nodded slightly, and then met two of the gazes, those of Ming Sheng and Mu Sheng.

The two nodded slightly to Lin Sheng, their expressions showing no joy or anger. The nod was considered a congratulation and blessing.

Then the two of them looked at each other, withdrew their gaze, and continued to sit cross-legged with their eyes closed to meditate.

Lin Sheng vaguely felt that, unlike before, he seemed to have entered the sight of these two people.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, which made him feel excited.

He has practiced for a shorter time than them, but he feels that he may be able to rise up and surpass them.

He turned and walked towards the house.

In front of the house, Li Hao had already retracted his gaze and continued his thoughts, thinking again about the inspiration he had caught while defusing the bomb.

Seeing that Li Hao was still pondering the chess game, Wang Lao couldn't help but laugh. He didn't disturb Li Hao, but smiled at Lin Sheng who was walking over and said:

"Not bad, not bad. Keep working hard and try to surpass them."

Lin Sheng's cold face melted into a smile like a glacier, and he bowed slightly and said, "Master Wang, I have comprehended the Ten Thousand Battles Immortal Technique to perfection, and I want to proceed to the second step of the test."

"Well, let's go."

Wang Lao smiled and nodded in agreement, but did not allow him to show it.

He had already seen clearly from the mighty power just exuded that the other party had practiced the Wanzhan Xianfa's spear art to perfection.

Hearing this, Lin Sheng glanced over and saw a young man sitting on a small wooden stool next to him, staring at the chessboard in deep thought. The other party seemed to be completely unaware of his arrival.

He looked indifferent, said nothing, and turned and left.

Before leaving the house, he went straight to challenge Zhenzun Tower.

His actions naturally attracted the attention of some saints, and someone immediately took out incense to count the time.

Not long after, Lin Sheng's figure emerged from the black tower, with only one tenth of the incense burning.

Despite this, many people stared at it.

"It took a little longer than the first challenge between Mu Sheng and Ming Sheng."

"It seems that Lin Sheng has a strong sense of battle. Maybe in this second step of the test, he can catch up with Mu Sheng and Ming Sheng."

"His master is the Spear Saint, but he has already surpassed his master, the Spear Saint, here."

Everyone looked at him with complicated expressions. Lin Sheng's progress was too fast, which made them feel a strong sense of urgency.

Many people no longer had the mood to discuss, and just lowered their heads and closed their eyes in deep thought.

Hua Sheng and You Sheng looked at each other and both felt a bit of pressure. They looked towards the house, but saw that Li Hao still had only his back facing them. As usual, he was still struggling with the chessboard.

The two of them sighed, closed their eyes, and began to meditate on their own.

When Mr. Wang saw that everyone sitting on the cushions had quieted down, a smile appeared on his face. He could feel that those little guys were a little anxious in their hearts.

His gaze returned to the chessboard in front of him, and he saw Li Hao, in deep thought, lifting a piece and placing it down.

"You are quite patient."

Wang Lao chuckled and casually twisted the pieces. Just as he was about to block the move, he suddenly let out a light exclamation and stared at Li Hao's move.

His eyes flickered slightly as he stared at the position of the fallen piece. It seemed that the piece had actively crossed into his layout, which was equivalent to giving it away. However, the gift was not obvious. However, with his chess skills, it was quite obvious.

But... he could see that it was a gift of child, but he also vaguely saw that it was intentional.

If he makes a move to capture the opponent, that slow move would just give Li Hao a slight buffer in the situation on the other side. If the opponent can seize that opportunity, it might cause a hole in his chess game.

But can this little guy see it?

Wang Lao thought for a while while twisting the fruit, and finally decided to eat it. Then he looked at Li Hao with a faint smile and said:

"You gave me this step for free."

"Ah."

The young man didn't even raise his head, just hummed lightly, and then quickly grabbed the piece and dropped it.

The position where the piece landed was exactly the one that Wang Laogang had bet on. When he heard Li Hao's "hmm", his heart skipped a beat. When he saw Li Hao's move, he immediately realized that the previous move was indeed intentional by Li Hao, but this was inconsistent with the boy's previous calm style of play.

The opponent has changed his style of play!
"Good boy, you are setting a trap for me!"

Wang Lao couldn't help but say.

Li Hao raised his head slightly, grinned, and said, "This requires your cooperation. This is considered a trap. Otherwise, it is just a useless move."

When Mr. Wang heard this, he rolled his eyes in annoyance. Look at how he's so cocky.

"This move can't reverse the situation. The outcome is still undecided. Although this move has opened a hole for you, this side will be a dead end!"

As he spoke, Nian Heizi took a step forward and came to Li Hao's chest. As if to determine the fate of the world, he pressed on the boundary line and sealed off a small dragon formation on Li Hao's side.

Li Hao smiled, as if he had expected it, and continued to make moves to tear holes in Wang Lao's formation. After several moves, Li Hao's dragon formation was completely killed, and Wang Lao's Qiankun chess formation was also broken into a hole.

This was completely different from Li Hao's previous calm and conservative approach. Old Wang raised his eyebrows slightly. At this time, Li Hao's chess style became fierce and sharp, like a sword drawn from its sheath. He would rather die in glory than live in disgrace!

I hope Lao chooses to return to defense, otherwise his good situation will be ruined.

But Li Hao attacked fiercely step by step, abandoning all previous chess formations and attacking all the way.

Wang Lao's expression became solemn. He parried and defended, step by step. But as Li Hao made his move, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong. All the chess formations that Li Hao had abandoned were connected together as he attacked all the way!
In an instant, it was as if being attacked from all sides, and the road with holes turned into one with leaks on all sides!

Wang Lao fell into deep thought.

Li Hao, on the contrary, had some time to relax. When he saw Wang Lai pondering for a long time without making a move, he ran to the side to make tea and drink it.

After finishing three cups of tea, the other party had not made a move yet, so Li Hao walked to the field with his hands behind his back and admired the several elixirs he had cultivated earlier, which were growing very well.

When the sun set and the evening glow was brilliant, Li Hao returned to the chessboard. Wang Lai came out of his deep thoughts, rolled his eyes at Li Hao unhappily, and then placed a piece, saying:
"I'm too lazy to compete with you, kid. Just assume you win!"

As he spoke, he placed a piece on the ground. Li Hao quickly sat on the small wooden stake and followed suit.

After both sides exchanged several moves, Li Hao did not make any mistakes. Wang Lao sighed helplessly and gave up the game to admit defeat.

Li Hao counted and found that although he won, he only won by half a point.

Mr. Wang had already seen this in advance, and in terms of chess skills, he was much stronger than him.

He relied on a temporary epiphany to gain a glimmer of hope, and Mr. Wang happened to bet on this opportunity with him.

As the chess game ended, Li Hao's mind buzzed and a prompt jumped out in front of him.

[You have realized the state of mind of chess: transcendence into sainthood]

After three years of playing chess, he had already accumulated enough experience to reach the ninth level.

Now, a lot of information has come in, and it turns out that his chess skills have broken through the ninth level and leaped to the tenth level!

The ninth stage is to enter the Tao, the tenth stage is to worship the Tao, and touch the true meaning of the Tao!

Li Hao previously treated a chess piece as a chess piece.

But later, the chess moves changed and a group of chess pieces were treated as one chess piece.

Everything on the chessboard is made up of chess pieces, which represent the return to simplicity after going through all kinds of chess moves.

If you see a mountain as a mountain, you see a mountain as not a mountain, and you see a mountain again as a mountain.

Since it is a chess piece, it can be "discarded", or rather, it cannot be considered as being abandoned, because abandoning it is also a move!

Utilizing it to the extreme is chess.

If it has no effect at all, then it is a useless move.

Along with the breakthrough in chess, Li Hao gained an extraordinary state of mind in chess, which meant that he could improve a combat skill to the tenth level.

The Dao of Cooking, the Dao of Painting, and the Dao of Sculpture, three kinds of ten stages of transcendental state of mind, Li Hao embedded them into the Dao of Physical Body, the Dao of Controlling, and the Dao of Sword respectively.

Now, Li Hao intends to embed this fourth kind of chess into his body movements to enter the state of a saint.

In this way, his ninth-level body skills can be upgraded to the tenth level, sacrifice!
Among all the gods, there are only a few who practice Taoism with their body skills, and the only one Li Hao knows is Old Feng.

Although Li Hao learned boxing first and then learned body skills, body skills play a greater role than boxing nowadays.

In the previous battle with Saint Hun Tian, ​​Li Hao suffered from his weak physical skills and could only rely on his extreme state to barely save his life.

If one has reached the tenth level of body movement, then the body movement alone is enough to make one the best among all the saints in the heavens.

If combined with the extreme realm, the speed will be even faster, and he will definitely be among the top in the same realm.

However, Li Hao was not in a hurry to embed the upgrade.

"Master Wang, if one gains enlightenment during the challenge of the Zhenzun Tower, will the reflected shadow also be improved accordingly?"

Li Hao asked.

Wang Lao was picking up the chess pieces on the chessboard one by one, obviously wanting to play another game. In response to Li Hao's question, he casually replied:

"Of course not. The projection of the Zhenzun Tower was made before your challenge. If you suddenly realized something during the challenge, it would be considered quick wit during the battle, and it is also a way to use the Zhenzun Tower."

He looked up at Li Hao and said, "But don't think about challenging something when you are halfway through your understanding. Once the challenge of the Zhenzun Tower begins, it will be difficult to give you a break. The projected you will have a strong desire to attack and will not waste any words with you."

Li Hao understood that it was extremely rare to have a sudden realization during a battle. It often happened at a low level because of accumulation. But at a high level, it was extremely difficult to accumulate enough knowledge to have a sudden realization, so it was extremely rare.

"I can give it a try."

Li Hao said.

For others, it is difficult to break through the bottleneck and challenge, but it is easy for him.

Moreover, this also seems to be a loophole in the challenge of the Zhenzun Tower?
"You want to try?"

When Wang Lao heard what Li Hao said, he was stunned for a moment, and then he said unhappily: "Boy, even if you beat me in chess, I will not make concessions for you. You must first practice one of the two, Yanluo Immortal Method or Wanzhan Immortal Method, to perfection."

"I have already understood the Yama Immortal Technique."

Li Hao said.

"Stop it."

Wang Lao rolled his eyes slightly and said, "Although your soul is very strong, surpassing other saints, it would be easy for you to practice, but you haven't practiced at all."

"..."

Li Hao was speechless, and immediately started to use the three combat methods of Yanluo Immortal Law.

And this was indeed his first time to perform it. Although he had understood it before and had many years of experience in performing it in his mind, he had never performed it himself.

It doesn't feel strange at the moment.

As the soul turned, dark flames seemed to burn on Li Hao's body.

Li Hao's soul soared out from this ninth-level mixed-source divine blood and flesh body. The outside of the soul was covered with pitch-black flames, emitting a Shura-like murderous intent and a breath of destruction. Behind Li Hao's soul, the flames also faintly outlined a hideous evil shadow, as if a devil figure was standing behind it.

It is exactly the Yama external image fighting method.

"Ok?"

When Mr. Wang saw this scene, he was stunned.

The outer image of Yama was like Shura descending, emitting a terrifying murderous intent. It was indeed the outer image of Yama's combat method, and it was at the level of true perfection!

At this time, Li Hao was also carefully feeling the power brought by this set of combat methods. Originally, when he fought with the ancient demon, he only used his soul to fight with the soul combat methods he had comprehended, which was extremely superficial. But this Yama external image combat method was different. Not only was it an immortal-grade combat method, but it was also an extremely profound one.

Although he currently only masters the first level of Yama's withered silence, and this Yama's appearance is also one of the three combat methods included in withered silence, but Li Hao has already felt that if he fights with the soul of the ancient demon from the True Fairyland again, he doesn't even need to burn his divine veins to kill it!

As the black flames gathered, a black Yama Blade slowly condensed in the palm of Li Hao's soul!

This blade is the condensed power of Yama, and can cause extremely terrible damage to the soul!

The next moment, Li Hao's soul raised his hand, and the black flames shrank, forming a six-sided earth shield around his body, surrounding him and moving according to his will.

This Earth Shield Technique can block the killing moves of the True Immortal Realm Spirit.

While Li Hao was performing the techniques, he was also savoring and feeling them carefully. Unlike the familiar experience that only existed in his mind before, only by performing them personally could he feel how powerful these three techniques were.

If he encounters the ancient demon from the True Fairyland again, he can even kill it instantly!

After all, the sword art of the Wandao Immortal Law has also reached the level of true perfection. Even if he has a broken immortal weapon in his hand, with the power of the sword art, the sharpness will be increased by several levels, enough for him to quickly kill the physical body of the True Immortal Ancient Demon, and then quickly wipe out his soul with the Yan Blade!
