As the Universe Turns - Chapter 470
Chapter 470 Illusion In Chess
“Haha …”
The woman smiled like a silver bell. Her voice was clear and crisp like a pearl falling from a jade plate. She slowly sat up, stretched out her hand and gently pulled open the veil in front of her. Step by step, she slowly walked towards Xiao Chen.
However, seeing her swaying, every step she took out, the light became even brighter. In the end, she was able to clearly see her appearance and posture.
Even though there was a thread of light veil all over her body, there was nothing that was not beautiful. Everything made one’s heart palpitate, just like the peerless beauty who walked out of the painting, it was so beautiful that it made one suffocated, making one unable to pick out a single flaw.
“Childe … am I beautiful?”
The woman smiled sweetly. Such a beautiful immortal face was like Fairy who had fallen from the Immortal Dimension to the mortal world. However, this immortal energy contained a bit of playfulness and enchantment. It was like the little witch in the Hundred Flowers Forest. Which man in the world was not moved by it?
“I’m asking you …”
The woman smiled. Her eyes were filled with autumn water, and she approached him a little. A faint fragrance pounced out. This faint fragrance was like orchid and faint, but also like the clear of a lotus flower. She was not a demon at all. She gently inhaled her nose and mouth, and then floated like she was walking through the clouds.
Xiao Chen couldn’t help but blur. Why was this woman in front of him somewhat familiar?
“You heartless person, did you forget me just because you were just a A?”
For some reason, a trace of anger suddenly appeared on the woman’s face. She lowered her head, frowned slightly, and her tears were sparkling. It was truly pitiful.
At this moment, Xiao Chen suddenly felt a stab of pain in his heart. It was as if the memory fragments that had been lost in the past sixty years had been reassembled together. This person in front of him, she was …
“Wei … Wei Yang?”
“You …”
The woman raised her head and looked at him with sparkling tears. “Do you finally remember? You even said that you wanted to save me, but you forgot about me …” she said angrily.
“No … I didn’t.”
Xiao Chen shook his head. At this moment, his eyes suddenly became somewhat cloudy. The woman raised her head and looked at him. Suddenly, she pounced forward, pounced on his shoulder, and began to sob softly.
“Promise me … don’t leave again … forever, stay here with me … We will never be separated again …”
The woman sobbed softly, making it sound like her heart was about to shatter.
“Alright …”
Xiao Chen Mu nodded. He knew that this Wei Yang in front of him could not be the real Wei Yang, but for some reason, he felt so uncomfortable at this moment.
“It’s just …”
“Just what?”
The woman raised her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes. Before she could finish her words, she heard a “chi” sound and fresh blood flowed out of her mouth.
“It’s just that … you’re not her after all.”
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s expression was expressionless, as if he had lost his soul. A sword appeared in his hand, and the sword pierced through the woman’s body.
“You … Why …”
The woman looked at him unwillingly. Before she could finish her sentence, Xiao Chen sent her flying with a palm strike.
“Because … she can’t wake up again …”
Xiao Chen closed his eyes. This sentence sounded like a graveyard at dusk. His soul disappeared, and he was filled with endless sorrow and panic.
Only now did his mind slowly become clear, and he slowly remembered what Shen Jing had said when he left.
…
“Moreover, she is about to die. Although the seed of the evergreen flower leaves contains boundless life force, life force is not equal to life force. Everyone has their own life force. At the end of their lifespan, it is their fate. Even thousands of Fiendgods cannot escape the fate of life and death … Do you understand?”
…
“I can bring her back to Butterfly Valley and use the Spirit Pivot Scripture to protect her from extinguishing a wisp of her soul flame. Then wait for you to bring Fusang Flower back, but … it may take a long time to find Fusang Flower. Three, five, ten years … in the end, you may not be able to find her. You need to be mentally prepared.”
…
“There is a second way, I wouldn’t do that, Even if the reincarnation mark was removed, it would be frozen forever. However, after that, the soul flame would also be extinguished. Although her body would never be extinguished, she no longer had any consciousness. It would be useless to find anything at that time. There was only a heaven-defying method that could wake her up. However, when she woke up again, the world would have already experienced great changes. Perhaps a thousand years later, or even ten thousand years later … ”
…
He remembered every single sentence. However, time had already passed. He had missed sixty years. Outside, the sky had already turned upside down. Everything had changed.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes and stared coldly at the woman in the hall. The sword in his hand still emitted a cold light, “I don’t want to make things difficult for you. Let me go over.”
“Forget it … I can’t stop you.”
The woman slowly stood up from the ground and finally changed back to her original appearance. She was an enchanting woman dressed in red. She only heard her say, “It’s fine if I let you pass, but True Monarch Black and White’s illusion in Yi is not so easy to pass. Please go ahead.”
In the end, she waved her sleeves and the entire palace disappeared. The boundless mountain peak was empty, only the cold wind blew past, nothing else.
Xiao Chen no longer hesitated. He turned into a sword light and headed towards the third level of the mountain. The third level of the test was the illusion in the game, with the heavens as the chessboard and the stars as the children.
A huge boulder stood up and carved a line of blood-red characters on it.
Who would dare to play the Heavenly Chessboard Star as a piece?
Xiao Chen slowly walked forward and stared at the big words on it. At this moment, the stone stele suddenly shook violently. Immediately after, it saw stars shifting all over the sky. Although this place was an illusion in chess, everything was an illusion, but it was as if he was in the middle of it. The scene could not be said to be astonishing.
In this game, with the stars in the sky as chess pieces, in the world, only Xuan Qing, one of Excellency’s Seven Heavenly Secrets, would be able to play this game.
After a day and night of confrontation, the stars in the sky finally dissipated. It was a draw. A figure slowly descended from the dark sky. The person was suspended in mid-air, and the black and white chess pieces were crisscrossed around him. It was True Monarch Black and White.
He stroked his beard and laughed loudly, “Little friend Guo has extraordinary perception. No wonder you were unable to stop me at the first two levels. However, I did not pass so easily here. Do you see that stone tablet in the distance?” As he spoke, he pointed towards the giant stone tablet in the distance.
Xiao Chen read out the words on the chessboard, but his eyes remained calm. “Who would dare to make a move against the Heaven Making Chessboard Star?” He said, “Who would dare to make a move against the Heaven Making Chessboard Star?”
“That’s right.”
True Monarch Black and White stroked his beard and nodded. He pointed at the stone tablet and said, “The heavens are the stars of the chessboard. Whoever dares to make a move, this is the top couplet. If you can match the bottom couplet, I will let you pass.”
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything. He slowly arrived in front of the stone tablet. Suddenly, he leapt forward and pointed with two fingers. On the left side of the original line of words on the stone tablet, another line was engraved,
The world is playing chess? It was extremely ridiculous!
