The #1 Pretty Boy of the Immortal Path

Chapter 57 - The Ambition is not Here

Edited by NZRose

Lin Shu and Ling Xiao’s eyes met.

In Ling Xiao’s eyes, Lin Shu unexpectedly found a trace of suffocation.

Supposing that this place was really ruined, then surely made one suffocated.

Shangling Dreamscape can still be restored by the Immortal Master Shuji. But now, where is this?

——It was the Huandang Mountain that inherited the heavenly way in the legend. It was extremely mysterious, and no one has understood the principle of its operation for thousands of years.

I can’t afford it.

Lin Shu looked stiffly at the surrounding landscape.

The tremors and shaking became more and more intense. The white void in which they were in was peeling off like the old damp wall. The figures of the other people who were solving the chess game fluctuated a few times and disappeared into thin air.

Only he and Ling Xiao were left.

Ling Xiao said: “Don’t be afraid.”

Lin Shu: “....”

I’m afraid.

Afraid that Big Miss will receive a sky-high priced bill.

Ling Xiao said: “It is said that people who are particularly good at cracking the chess game can see a piece of spiritual thought left by the master of the Exquisite Fairyland.”

If only it were so.

Lin Shu: “But you obviously violated the rules of the game.”

The last pattern, of course, was excellent. But it was made from the two person’s chess pieces merged together.

Ling Xiao: “Since we can walk down the Heavenly Stairway together, why can’t I merge the two chess games?”

—It made sense.

After a few moments, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

After the void was completely peeled off, their nose suddenly caught the scent of flowers and trees. What appeared before their eyes was a brilliant and blooming peach forest.

This scene was vaguely similar to the scene when they first stepped into the Exquisite Fairyland, but the 10,000 mu of peach blossoms were even much more brilliant than before.

Especially between the peach trees, the streams were bubbling, the flowers fell one after another, and there were birds singing from time to time. It was breathtakingly beautiful.

They went forward through the slanting branches for about a quarter of an hour, and finally approached the middle of the peach forest.

——The center was no longer the stone wall, but an exquisite octagonal jade pavilion, there was a mist-like veil floating between the columns of the pavilion, blowing with the wind, making the whole pavilion seem to be standing among the mist and clouds.

There was a man sitting in the pavilion.

—-It must be the “Master of the Exquisite Fairyland” as Ling Xiao had said.

They stepped forward, Ling Xiao stood outside the pavilion, and said, “Greetings, Master.”

The man from inside said: “Please sit down, distinguished guests.”

He has a warm voice and seems to have a good temper.

After entering the pavilion, he finally saw the full view of the man. He was handsome and elegant, dressed in brocade clothes with an ornament hung on his waist. He even held a folding fan in his hand, fanning it indifferently. He was dressed as a mortal world’s young master, not like a fairy at all.

Ling Xiao’s attitude was calm. He brushed his clothes and sat down opposite the man.

Lin Shu sat down on the man’s right-hand side. Then he saw that the stone table in the pavilion looked like a chessboard.

The man said: “The two guests are excellent at chess. How about a game with me?”

After saying that, without waiting for their answer, he gently waved his sleeve. On the stone table, various colored lights lit up immediately.

“There are four treasuries in the Treasure Hall of Huandang Mountain, which is guarded by the mountain keeper. If both of you can play against me, I will give you... Any treasure from Tianzi Library, how about it?”

According to the rules, if you can go to the Floating Immortal Palace passing through the Heavenly Stairway, the Boundless Maze, and the Exquisite Fairyland, you will meet the mountain keeper. The mountain keeper will give the person who enters the immortal palace the qualification to enter one of the four treasuries of Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang, and each of them can choose two kinds of treasures.

This treasure can be a unique secret book, a miracle pill, a treasure of heaven and earth, or even a rare divine weapon. The treasures of the Tianzi Library are the rarest, and the Huangzi Library is the second.

However, the Immortal Floating Palace was inherited from ancient times. Even if the treasures of Huangzi Library were placed in the treasure hall of Shangling Academy, it was also tens of thousands of jade souls. If you can get one more treasure in the Tianzi Library, it is really a great opportunity.

I just don’t know why this Exquisite Fairyland master did this. The entire Huandang Mountain was a place for young disciples to practice. This move was also to help the younger generations?

Ling Xiao took a look at Lin Shu.

Lin Shu has no objection.

Ling Xiao said: “Okay.”

As soon as the sound fell, the exquisite chess game they had played before appeared on the chessboard in front of them. Lin Shu’s was on one side, while Ling Xiao was on the other side. In the middle, the Lihuo bead of fire was connected with the Kan bead of water, which was like a bridge connecting the two spiritual powers.

“You have the same techniques, and you know how to complement each other, but it’s also rare.” The young master stopped a light blue Xunda wind bead, pushed it away, and continued: “Wait and see.”

Once the bead was removed, a gap appeared in the originally closed chess game, and spiritual power poured out.

Ling Xiao frowned, and after about two-quarters of an hour, he moved a Duize lake bead to the top of the gap and re-established contact with other beads. In this way, the gap was filled a lot and the overflowing spiritual power obviously slowed down.

“The way of heaven was more than enough to make up for what is lost.” The young master again, moves a bead of fire from the bottom of the chessboard. “Look again.”

Lin Shu’s mind flashed with countless possibilities. After about two-quarters of an hour, he finally finished his thinking and only moved a thunder bead at a key position up slightly in a distance. In this way, the direction of spiritual power in the whole area was affected, and the position of the bead of fire was no longer critical.

“If the great profit is strong, its use is infinite.” With a smile, the young master continued, “Go on.”

The subsequent match was roughly the same.

At first, simply adding pieces to the chess game could still cope. However, now, there are 3,600 exquisite beads on the whole chessboard. Each time the young master moves one, they have to survey the whole chess game to find a way to recirculate the spiritual power of the chess game. Compared with the previous difficulty, it has not only doubled but similarly increased exponentially.

In this chess game, for a moment you don’t know the sun and the moon.

There is a legend in ancient books that mountain people cut firewood and occasionally watch Taoists play chess. At the end of a game, the handle of the axe on the ground has become rotten. The world has experienced the vicissitudes of life that have passed a hundred years.

Lin Shu’s feeling is similar now.

His spirit was like a processor that burns up because of its excessive speed operation, but it also has the function of self upgrading. After the initial discomfort, he gradually calms down and his mind becomes empty and clear.

In the peach forest, the sun rises and sets, and the sun rises again. They don’t know how many days have passed.

More and more beads were moved out by the Young Master, and the exquisite beads surrounded him, shining brightly.

Finally, he said: “Please end it.”

This time, it was much faster than before.

Lin Shu reached out to touch a Yang bead on the upper left.

Almost at the same time, Ling Xiao also touched the bead.

Their fingertips touched each other, Ling Xiao smiled and retracted his hand.

Lin Shu held the Xun bead in his hand.

At this moment, from the original 3,600 exquisite beads, 1,800 were removed. However, the spiritual power was surging endlessly, cyclically, completely natural, it was much more exquisite and perfect than the previous two chess games.

Lin Shu breathed a sigh of relief and probed his own soul. He found that it was actually more solid than before.

The Young Master asked, “Did you gain something?”

Although it was not straightforward, he was looking at Lin Shu.

Lin Shu thought about the change in the direction of the whole chess game’s spiritual power when he moved the Exquisite Bead and then thought about the previous nearly perfect chess game. He said, “Each skill has its own shortcomings. If you can complement each other and remove impurities, you can achieve perfection.”

The young master said, “The two martial arts are still the same. If thousands of martial arts are gathered together, what will happen?”

Lin Shu was stunned.

For a long time, he said, “The Great Tao.”

Every skill in the world was created by the pioneers who understand the Tao and gain something. If we gather all the achievements in this world and pick the best of it, wouldn’t it be a great way?

The young master said: “While the manpower is poor, the worldly skill cannot be learned completely.”

“Therefore, there is a ‘broken path,” Lin Shu said, “If you can get out of it...”

He didn’t know what to say, but his heart suddenly became clear. If the arrangement of the pieces on Zhenlong’s Chess Game is Tao, then the last thing he and Ling Xiao formed is a kind of “Dao” that can be self-consistent. When he played against the young master, he removed the impurities and modified the spiritual flow. In the end, it becomes another way that can be separated from the original Tao and exist independently—the same is true of the way of heaven. If you walk out of your own way, you can break away from the way of heaven and ascend!

He had been ignorant about this, and his practice in his previous life was also step-by-step, following the guidance of ancient books. Now he was suddenly awakened and felt that his heart was clear. Looking back on the sword moves he had practiced in the past, although there were many kinds of sword moves and mastering them skillfully, there was still no consistent way. It was really inappropriate. If he found his own way, it should be a completely new change.

“You have understood.” The Young Master said.

Lin Shu said: “Thank you, Senior.”

“I’m not a senior. I’m nothing more than just an idle person.” The young master got up and swishingly opened the folding fan, which was extremely sophisticated.

He said slowly: “The world of an immortal is lonesome. Some friends and I come here and take turns to break the maze for you. I only hope that more people will ascend to the Immortal Path, and it will become more lively.”

Lin Shu: “......”

Therefore, the Huandang Mountain is really the No.1 cram school in the world.

He looked at Ling Xiao and thought, I don’t know what my cousin realized.

Ling Xiao just looked at him with a smile.

“I won’t ask him,” The young master winked when he saw this scene. “This man has no ambition here. I’m afraid he just came to Huandang Mountain to play with you.”

Lin Shu: “?”
