Chapter 1837: Square Chessboard
In Yunhuang, a dark sun hangs high in the sky, illuminating all directions, and a murderous aura permeates the sky and earth.
As Sin Wasteland was occupied by the Underworld and the Witch God lineage was destroyed, the Dark Sun Cult of Yunhuang became the next target of the Underworld. In fact, the Underworld had long been eyeing the Dark Sun Cult, but the Dark Sun Cult took root in Yunhuang and reached a cooperation with the three ancestors of the side sects. They managed Yunhuang like an iron road, and the Underworld could not do anything to them in a short time.
However, with the demise of the witch god lineage, the situation has changed. More and more power from the underworld has begun to gather here.
Outside the Cloud Wasteland, the blue sky and the underworld are intertwined. Sang Qi and Bai Zhining stand side by side, gazing at the Cloud Wasteland together. Under the reflection of their Dharma eyes, all illusions retreat, and the Cloud Wasteland reveals its true face.
I saw a chessboard hanging high above the Cloud Wasteland, regulating the void, covering the entire Cloud Wasteland, and disturbing the ten directions of heaven and earth.
"It is said that this abbot entered Taoism through chess and practiced the art of the universe. He can transform the boundless void in a small space. Now it seems that he is indeed extraordinary."
After seeing part of the truth, Bai Zhining raised her brows slightly and couldn't help but sigh.
The three ancestors of this side sect rose from obscurity, and although their foundation is not as deep as that of the Heavenly Lords and Demon Lords of the Taoist and Demonic sects, they were able to rise all the way, and they also have their own extraordinary qualities. At this moment, under the magical power of the abbot, although the Yunhuang seems to be right in front of them, in fact, the space is ring-shaped, and outsiders cannot get close at all. If they break in rashly, they will only get lost in this space ring.
Hearing this, Sang Qi nodded. She has been in charge of Yunhuang affairs, but she knows Yunhuang's ins and outs better than Bai Zhining.
"The abbot's magical power on the small chessboard is indeed unique. He has integrated the principles of chess into the art of the universe, making the space change as much as possible, and it is unpredictable and very difficult to deal with."
Speaking of the abbot, Sang Qi couldn't help but frown. She had tried it before, controlling the Blue River. She was not afraid of the changes in space, nor did she have to worry about getting lost in the void, but she couldn't really crack the abbot's technique and get close to Yunhuang.
"It is said that the Taoist loves playing chess the most. He may be excited when he sees prey and place a piece down."
Thinking about what happened in Zuinhuang, Sang Qi suddenly discovered a possibility.
After hearing this, Bai Zhining looked at Sang Qi and fell silent. Her teacher did like playing chess, but it was just a hobby. It was okay to play with family members, but it was inappropriate to play with outsiders.
"The teacher has his own things to do, but we can't just rely on him for everything. If the matter of Yunhuang also requires the teacher to take action to solve it, then what use are we?"
After a moment's silence, Bai Zhining decisively rejected Sang Qi's proposal.
Hearing this, Sang Qi didn't say anything else. It was just a sudden thought for her. After all, the Sin Rebellion could be quelled so quickly because the headmaster asked for the Taoist's decree, which put the final touches. Now thinking about it carefully, it was indeed inappropriate to do so.
Although they could end the Yunhuang Rebellion as quickly as possible, their incompetence would also be fully exposed. However, it was undeniable that after gaining the home advantage and after a long period of preparation, the abbot's methods had become very difficult to deal with.
If there is no way to break the situation and one simply wants to use force to overwhelm the opponent, even if a person with great supernatural powers takes action, there may not be any result in a short period of time.
"Don't worry, Yuan Jun. I plan to pass on all the information about Yunhuang to my senior brother, and then ask Elder Qiankun to lend us a helping hand in the name of Longhu Mountain."
Looking at Sang Qi who was lost in thought, Bai Zhining expressed her plan.
Hearing this, Sang Qi raised his eyebrows slightly.
"The old man Qiankun from Qiankun Palace specializes in the Way of the Universe and controls the power of space. He is indeed a good candidate. If he can help us, we have a chance to disintegrate this square chessboard. However, he suffered a serious injury in his early years, and I don't know how he has recovered now."
Nodding, Sang Qi agreed with Bai Zhining's plan, but there was some worry in his words.
She was not worried that Old Man Qiankun would not help. With the current power of Mount Longhu, there were countless cultivators eager to help Mount Longhu and thus create good karma. Not to mention that Old Man Qiankun already had a close relationship with Mount Longhu. What she was worried about was that Old Man Qiankun had not recovered from his injuries and could not exert his full strength.
Hearing this, Bai Zhining smiled.
"Old Man Qiankun did suffer a severe injury at the beginning, and even his foundation was shaken, but later the Taoist Master gave him a pill to make up for his injuries. With the help of this elixir, his injuries have long been recovered. He has been in seclusion for these years because he sees the possibility of further progress."
With a hoarse voice, Bai Zhining revealed the secrets one by one. As Zhang Chunyi's disciple, she knew more inside information.
Hearing this, the heavy stone in Sang Qi's heart fell quietly. The world's alchemy is headed by dragons and tigers, and that Taoist master is the recognized number one in alchemy. With the elixir bestowed by him, old man Qiankun's injuries will naturally be healed. At this moment, Bai Zhining's voice rang again.
"With the destruction of the Wushen lineage, anyone with a discerning eye should be able to see that the unification of the underworld by the acquired gods is an inevitable trend. The Dark Sun God is in the middle and cannot escape. It is normal for him to be unwilling to fight against the underworld. But why is the third ancestor of the side sect unwilling to escape as a person of the immortal way?"
When the Dharma Eyes reflected the wasteland of clouds, it seemed that it was shrouded in endless fog. Bai Zhining asked about the doubts in her heart.
The Underworld mobilized its forces in order to clean up the acquired gods. As people of the immortal way, if the three ancestors of the side sects were willing to close the mountains and practice in peace, the Underworld would not think of making things difficult for them. However, the three ancestors of the side sects did not do so. They chose to help the Dark Sun God and fight against the Underworld together.
Of course, they are also extremely wary of the underworld. So far, they have been mainly on the defensive and have not taken the initiative to attack.
Hearing this, Sang Qi couldn't help but shook his head.
"The specific reason is still unclear, but what is certain is that the three side sect ancestors had reached a cooperation with the Dark Sun God Lord a long time ago. The reason why the Dark Sun God Lord was able to unify the Cloud Wasteland so quickly and gather boundless incense was largely due to the help of the three side sect ancestors. Without their help, before the Dark Sun God Lord achieved enlightenment, it would not have been so easy for the Dark Sun God Cult to unify the Cloud Wasteland. After all, as a holy land for independent cultivators, the Cloud Wasteland still hides many powerful people."
"Speaking of which, this Cloud Wasteland is also somewhat mysterious. There was once a Heavenly Venerable Yun Miao who became enlightened here and left many opportunities here. The prosperity of the Cloud Wasteland began from this time."
With a cold voice, Sang Qi announced the results of the underworld's investigation.
Hearing this, Bai Zhi frowned slightly.
"It seems that they are enemies rather than friends after all, but I wonder if these people are on the list of gods."
As the thought came and went, a hint of coldness appeared between Bai Zhining's brows.
Unifying the acquired divine way is the inevitable goal that the underworld must achieve. Anyone who dares to stand in the way will be crushed. Even the immortals are no exception, and will ultimately not escape the fate of being removed from the list of gods.
