Black Night Filled the Sky
Chapter 155 The Key to Longevity Breaks the Chess Game
Under the Linglong Chess Game.
Lu Changsheng held a black piece.
His gaze was fixed on the chessboard.
When he said he understood, everyone couldn't help but become even more curious.
Even the Linglong Holy Lord revealed a deep curiosity in her eyes, watching Lu Changsheng.
"Understood what? This old man has been here for seven thousand years and has not been able to solve this game. Now that my end is approaching, I would like to ask for guidance. What does this young friend understand?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out slowly.
It was an old man who woke up from his meditation and looked at Lu Changsheng, speaking like this.
"Isn't that Qingmu Daoren?"
"I didn't expect him to be here too?"
"Ignorant, Qingmu Daoren was already here seven thousand years ago, comprehending the chess game. Back then, everyone believed that Qingmu Daoren could break the Linglong Chess Game. It's a pity that in these seven thousand years, Qingmu Daoren has still failed to see through the chess game."
"Senior Qingmu, is that the Qingmu Senior who cultivates the Qingmu Emperor Skill?"
"It is him."
"Hiss! The Qingmu Emperor Skill, this is the number one health-preserving technique. It is rumored that if a Foundation Establishment cultivator obtains this technique, they can live for a thousand years, and if a Tribulation Transcension cultivator masters this technique, they can live for a hundred thousand years. I didn't expect Qingmu Daoren to be here."
"Alas, it's a pity that Qingmu Daoren has already woken up from his meditation. The fact that he has not comprehended the Linglong Chess Game means that his end is approaching. Under the Linglong Chess Game, I don't know how many peerless geniuses have been buried."
"What? His end is approaching?"
"Yes, basically, those who can wake up are nearing their end. Once you enter the Linglong Chess Game, you won't wake up unless you break it. Although the Linglong Holy Lord didn't solve the chess game back then, she chose to give up at a critical moment and then created the Linglong Holy Land, which is considered rare."
"Actually, if you stay here for a while, you will find that every year, many cultivators appear here under the Linglong Chess Game. Most of them don't have much lifespan left. They long to solve the chess game and then obtain the rumored ascension fortune, so as to reach a higher level. But unfortunately, no one has ever been able to solve the Linglong Chess Game. Now, I don't know if Changsheng truly understands, or if he's just pretending."
The crowd discussed, revealing the person's identity.
And at this moment.
Qingmu Daoren was indeed nearing his end. He had lived for a very long time, and in his final years, he came under the Linglong Chess Game.
But now, he still hadn't comprehended it. However, with his end approaching, he woke up from his meditation, intending to settle his affairs. He happened to hear Lu Changsheng say that he understood, so he couldn't help but ask.
Under the Linglong Chess Game.
Lu Changsheng held a black piece and slowly said, "I understand the method to break the game."
His tone was very calm, but his expression was unusually firm.
"The method to break the game?"
Qingmu Daoren shook his head, a look of sadness in his eyes as he said, "Young friend, this old man has comprehended it for seven thousand years, played four hundred and thirty-two million games. This old man has tried every method, but the limit is only seventy-nine steps. To solve this game, you need to go at least one hundred and eight steps. How will you break the game?"
Qingmu Daoren said with a sorrowful expression.
And the crowd couldn't help but be astonished.
Four hundred and thirty-two million games, what a concept that was?
Not to mention them, the surrounding cultivators also expressed their opinions.
"Indeed, the Linglong Chess Game has infinite variations with each step, but everything in the world has its limits. In a normal chess game, even if it's an ancient incomplete game, by trying different moves and different methods, even if a blind cat stumbles upon a dead mouse, it can be solved. But for hundreds of thousands of years, no one has been able to solve it. This Linglong Chess Game is truly an unsolvable game."
Someone sighed, also stating a fact.
Chess game!
No matter how extraordinary, there are always limits. With nineteen vertical and horizontal lines, even if you try and deduce each one, you will always find a solution.
But the problem is that no one can solve it, becoming an obsession and inner demon for countless people.
Otherwise, if it was just an ancient incomplete game, it would have been solved long ago.
To put it bluntly, even if you really don't know how to play Go, can you not solve a game after playing for five thousand years?
Only.
Lu Changsheng didn't answer what Qingmu Daoren said. He just quietly looked at the chessboard.
Then, he randomly placed a black piece.
Soon, a white piece fell.
In an instant, seven black pieces were devoured.
Seeing this scene, Qingmu Daoren couldn't help but shake his head, a look of disappointment appearing in his eyes.
The next moment, Lu Changsheng placed another piece.
But the result didn't change at all.
The white pieces had formed, turning into a large dragon, while the divine tiger formed by the black pieces always lacked claws.
This game was very difficult to win.
However, when Lu Changsheng placed the third piece.
A dozen black pieces were eaten.
At the fourth piece.
Another dozen black pieces were eaten.
And at this moment, many people shook their heads, because Lu Changsheng had already lost. Half of the black pieces had been eaten. At this moment, even if the claws were formed, it would be of no avail.
"You lost."
Qingmu Daoren shook his head and said this.
"I know."
Lu Changsheng replied very calmly.
"Then what did you understand?"
Qingmu Daoren was a little curious.
"I understand how to break the game."
Lu Changsheng replied indifferently.
"It's already a dead end, how can you break the game?"
Qingmu Daoren was a little angry.
The chess game was clearly at a dead end, so where did the talk of breaking the game come from?
However, Lu Changsheng slowly said.
"The chess game is dead, but the Linglong Chess Game in my heart is not dead."
He said this.
In an instant, everyone was stunned.
Many people revealed a look of curiosity, not knowing what Lu Changsheng meant.
And the next moment, Lu Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back. He slowly walked towards the Linglong Chess Game.
He looked at those who were in meditation.
Then he shook his head and said.
"The Linglong Chess Game cannot be solved at all!"
"This is a dead game."
He said this.
"Absurd!"
Qingmu Daoren was the first to speak, glaring at Lu Changsheng.
"Alas!" Lu Changsheng sighed, he was not angry, nor was he annoyed in any way. He just turned his back to the crowd and said calmly.
"The Linglong Chess Game determines life and death upon entering the game, with nineteen vertical and horizontal lines, evolving the laws of the world. But have you all ever thought about it, that... there is no chess game at all."
He spoke, looking at the Linglong Chess Game, and said this.
In an instant, everyone was stunned.
Some seemed to understand, some remained silent, and some were full of doubts.
"It's truly absurd. The chess game is right in front of you, but you say you can't see it? You're putting on an act."
Qingmu Daoren was a little exasperated, pointing to the Linglong Chess Game on the cliff and saying this.
But Lu Changsheng didn't answer.
Instead, he drew a celestial sword.
In an instant, sword energy soared into the sky, and terrifying mana permeated the surroundings.
The crowd was astonished, wondering what Lu Changsheng was going to do.
Was he going to fight Qingmu Daoren?
However, just as everyone was astonished.
Lu Changsheng raised the celestial sword in his hand, and tens of thousands of sword energies intertwined in an instant, directly smashing the Linglong Chess Game on the cliff.
The chessboard with nineteen vertical and horizontal lines was instantly leveled.
Each chess piece was also directly shattered by the sword energy.
Swish, swish, swish!
At this moment, the thousands of people in meditation instantly opened their eyes.
Some were confused, and some were at a loss.
The chess game on the cliff disappeared.
It was forcibly destroyed by Lu Changsheng.
"Bold!"
"What are you doing?"
"I was about to solve the chess game, why did you erase it?"
"Where's the chess game? Where's my chess game? Where's my chess game?"
Voices rang out.
Under the cliff, those who had entered the game all woke up at this moment, their eyes full of confusion.
Qingmu Daoren was even more shocked.
He looked at Lu Changsheng, his eyes full of infinite anger.
"Even if you don't understand how to play chess, that's fine. Even if you make wild claims, that's fine. But why did you have to destroy the chess game?"
He roared, his eyes filled with sorrow.
And under the cliff.
Lu Changsheng shook his head slowly at this moment and said, "Everyone, in this world, there is no unsolvable chess game. Any chess game can be solved as long as you spend time on it, whether it's the Linglong Chess Game or the True Dragon Chess Game."
"As long as it's a chess game, there is a way to solve it. However, this chess game has not been solved by anyone for hundreds of thousands of years."
"It's not because it's too difficult, but because this game simply doesn't exist."
Lu Changsheng said this, causing everyone to frown.
"The chess game is right on the cliff, how can you say it doesn't exist? Senior Brother Lu, I really don't understand."
Someone spoke, unable to help but ask.
However, Lu Changsheng took a deep breath.
"In fact, the Linglong Chess Game is not on the cliff, but in everyone's heart."
"Instead of calling it the Linglong Chess Game, it's better to call it the Chess Game of Obsession, the Chess Game of Inner Demons."
"Everyone, the white pieces in this game are yourselves."
"Obsession is like inner demons!"
Lu Changsheng spoke, saying this.
"No! That's impossible, what proof do you have?"
Qingmu Daoren spoke, he simply didn't believe it.
However, Lu Changsheng sighed, then his gaze was extremely calm as he said.
"If you don't believe me, then Lu Mou would like to ask, who still remembers what the Linglong Chess Game originally looked like?"
He slowly spoke.
But these words were like a thunderclap.
Tens of thousands of people present were all stunned.
Including the Linglong Holy Lord.
Because they were shocked to discover.
They couldn't remember what the Linglong Chess Game originally looked like.
Everyone was stunned.
Qingmu Daoren's eyes widened even more.
The thousands of words in his heart were stuck in his throat, unable to say a single word.
They couldn't believe all of this.
Lu Changsheng awakened them from their dreams with a single sentence.
When the chess game was destroyed, everyone forgot the original diagram of the Linglong Chess Game.
They were cultivators, not to mention a diagram of the original chessboard.
Even if it was a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand chess games, they could remember them in their minds.
But the Linglong Chess Game, they really couldn't recall it.
Lu Changsheng was very calm.
In fact, he had been thinking about it for ten days and ten nights.
Only then did he understand this principle.
There is no chess game in the world that cannot be solved.
Because no one would try to solve an unsolvable game.
If it's already unsolvable, what's the point of seeking enlightenment?
But the Linglong Chess Game is different, because no matter how you play, you will have an illusion.
Believing that there is a way to solve it.
Believing that there is a glimmer of hope.
So you will be persistent, you will enter the game, because you see hope.
Although it's faint, at least you see it.
Your obsession will also be born at this moment.
Your inner demons will also be born at this moment.
So, the Linglong Chess Game.
The one who holds the white pieces is the self!
And the one who holds the black pieces is the inner demon!
It cannot be broken!
It cannot be solved!
Because the person who knows you best is yourself.
Your inner demons have appeared.
Your obsession has appeared.
Then everything is destined.
And at this moment.
Suddenly, a phantom slowly appeared on the cliff.
Attracting everyone's attention.
