CHAPTER 187: CHAPTER 186: CAUSE AND EFFECT CHESS (SECOND UPDATE, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE)

In the vast void starry sky, there are numerous mortal realms, scattered like sand across the endless starry sky, without a beginning, nor an end, vast and immense, boundless and profound.

Above the mortal realms, there exists a supreme and majestic world, which is the celestial realm.

The celestial realm is the highest plane, the abode of immortals, standing above countless planes, it is the origin of all things, the source of all beings, and also the place where all beings end.

In a domain overflowing with celestial beauty, an old man sits by a lake, leisurely fishing.

The fishhook is straight, not bent.

A multicolored fish leaps up and bites the hook.

At the moment of biting the hook, the multicolored fish transforms, turning into a black chess piece.

Holding this chess piece, the old man savors it carefully, as if admiring a work of art.

Holding the chess piece in his palm, the old man smiles.

He rises and puts down the fishing rod, moving to a stone table where a huge chessboard is set up.

The lines on the chessboard crisscross, interweaving with each other.

On it, there are numerous black and white chess pieces, intermixed, and the battle is fiercely contested.

The white chess pieces are about forty-nine;

The black chess pieces are only eighteen.

The old man takes out that black chess piece and places it in the middle position.

Instantly, the board transforms into a battlefield.

The black and white chess pieces on the board transform into cultivators, some are at divinity transformation, some are earth immortals, and some are golden immortals, yet these cultivators look dull as if they’ve lost essence, qi, and spirit.

Swish!

The next moment, it transforms again.

Transformed into individual chess pieces.

Clap! Clap!

The old man’s left hand holds a white chess piece, and his right hand holds a black chess piece, the pieces interlace as he plays against himself.

The black and white interwoven together, the chess pieces change.

At this moment, a young man bows and says, "Greetings, Master!"

"Cang’er?"

"Cang’er is here!"

"Heaven and Earth are like a chess game, all beings are like chess pieces, it’s just that good pieces are hard to find!" The old man laughs and says, "The chessboard is only so big, forty-nine black pieces, forty-nine white pieces, now the white pieces are complete, only the black pieces lack a few. Only a few lucky ones are qualified to become chess pieces. Tell me, among these chess pieces, who is qualified to become a chess piece!"

With a wave of his hand, an illusion of a cultivator appears, along with their life records.

"I choose the Celestial Universe Realm, the Celestial Universe Hall Master, Su Li!" Si Cang says, "Su Li, with outstanding talent, is half-human half-demon, abandoned by his clan in childhood, later left his family, accidentally entered an immortal’s cave mansion, and acquired three volumes of scripture. Established foundation at thirty, reached purple mansion at a hundred, golden core at two hundred, now with harmonization cultivation, can ascend to the celestial realm in a thousand years."

"Su Li is quite good, but still lacking. He was calculated by me, deprived of King’s Blood in childhood, later betrayed by family, poisoned by Dao companion, with extreme temperament. Later, refined the body as a weapon, turned eyes into swords, refined a supreme divine eye, and evolved supreme divine techniques ’Time Freeze’. This person has great potential, with the chance of becoming a golden immortal in the future, but he’s not the most suitable!"

"In the Black Tortoise Realm of the lower realm, there’s a genius Beichen, possessing the ’Nine Yang Dao Body’, reached nascent soul at merely a hundred years, even in the lower realm, forged a tenth transformation supreme golden core in a poor environment, a peerless genius! In the future, there’s hope to become a profound immortal!" Si Cang says.

"Beichen is acceptable, but only just so, not the best. Calculated by me, Black Tortoise, for immortality, severed emotions and love, killed wife to prove the Dao; for power, betrayed master for glory, killed son for alchemy; to survive, slaughtered relatives, refined bloodline pills. This person is ruthless, a genius in cultivating demon Dao. Unfortunately, he’s not the most suitable!"

The old man smiles slightly.

These geniuses, they are geniuses, but only just so.

In the world, geniuses are what are most abundant.

Sitting on a high platform, watching one genius rise and another fall, the spirit has become numb.

Si Cang says, "Master, who do you think is the most suitable?"

"As a master, I think this person is the most suitable?"

The old man points his finger, locking onto a person.

Si Cang is astonished, "This person, this person is but an ant of the lower realm, of low aptitude, just three spirit roots, later luckily forged a ’Pure Yang Dao Body’, but at essence shallow. Established foundation at fifty, reached purple mansion at a hundred and eighty, simply unshapable wood. The former few all have better aptitude than him!"

"And his character, womanly compassion, timid and afraid, lacks decisiveness, fearful and shrinking, this person is simply the shame of the immortal Dao, lucky to become a nascent soul, is already not bad. Wanting to advance further, is almost impossible."

The old man laughs, "You don’t understand! This person, usually timid, but at crucial moments, courageous and fearless. This person has heavy destiny, great potential, future unlimited possibilities. I judge this person has the potential of an immortal king, in the future, if not dying, has a one-layer probability of becoming an immortal king!"

"Master, how is it possible?"

Si Cang slightly jealous says.

"A gentleman hides his tools, waiting for the right time to act!" The old man laughs and says, "Under my calculation, the Jin Family will be exterminated, Jin Xi with family hatred, flees to the Eastern Wilderness. There, hiding and lurking, enters the Joyful Union Demon Sect ruins, obtains broken supreme treasure ’Beauty Portrait’, with the Yin Qi inside, steps into the ninth transformation, but also thus becomes a Celestial Demoness!"

"When she steps into nascent soul, enemies will track her, her battle with enemies will further commence. In revenge, she will gradually darken, to avenge, plunder male cultivators, fuse Yin and Yang, reversely cultivate ’Yin Yang Transformation’, break through fetters to reach divinity transformation!"

"After reaching divinity transformation, she comprehends the Nameless Stone Stele, comprehends the ’Great Desire Technique’, by this, kills enemies, but in fierce battle, heavily injured, perishes. At her demise, I use her remains, to refine cause and effect chess pieces."

"But Lu Xuanji suddenly appears, just at the purple mansion, comprehends the ’Great Desire Technique’, his comprehension is high; cultivates the Storage Technique, hides destiny, but can’t hide from me, his destiny is hundreds of times his peers. Such a person is more suitable than Jin Xi to be my cause and effect chess piece."

"Under my calculation, the Lu Family will die because of him, his wife will die because of him, even beauties will die because of him, he will also thus fall into demon, using the ’Great Desire Technique’, condenses eleventh transformation infinite golden core, battles all the way, kills numerous enemies, just four hundred years old, reaches harmonization peak!"

"Then knocks the immortal door, impacts the ninefold immortal tribulation, but due to heart demon, dies in the tribulation."

"At that time, I can just collect his remains, turn them into cause and effect chess pieces."
