Chapter 2051: Chapter 90: The Game of Go
“Is it that person from just now… hasn’t he already died?!”
Seeing the burly figure emerging from the pavilion, the cultivators behind Wang Ba were stunned and couldn’t help but feel their hackles rise!
They just felt completely bewildered!
Some timid cultivators had already instinctively fled.
Only Wang Ba and a few cultivators, though trembling in their hearts, managed to steady their spirits and quickly noticed the anomaly:
“Something’s not right… he seems not to see us!”
The big man cheerfully rushed into the faint mist and, surprisingly, disappeared quickly.
Throughout the process, he seemed oblivious to the people right under his nose.
Yu Wuheng, next to Wang Ba, suddenly realized and exclaimed in surprise:
“It’s a remnant image!”
Wang Ba slowly withdrew his gaze that had been fixed on the big man named ‘Huang’, slightly nodded, affirming Yu Wuheng’s suspicion:
“The rules here are unique; it seems to preserve a past scene that happened here… Let’s go have a look.”
Though usually cautious, in this seemingly perilous place, he walked at the forefront, already starting to cautiously head towards the pavilion as he spoke.
Some cultivators who were originally bold hesitated a little.
But seeing Wang Ba and the few people around him also proceeding forward, they hurriedly quickened their pace to follow.
They were not far from the pavilion; Wang Ba only took about a dozen steps before finally seeing the figure in the pavilion.
The faint mist lingered, and the figure in the pavilion was faintly discernible.
Due to the angle, he only saw a white robe, sitting upright on a stone bench, with its back facing him.
Though he knew well that the person in the pavilion was long gone, and it was merely a remnant image, Wang Ba couldn’t help but feel a rare tension in his heart.
If he guessed correctly, the two immortals playing chess must be in the pavilion before him!
His heart couldn’t help but race.
Yet, he heard the crisp ‘pa’, ‘pa’ sound of chess pieces being placed on the board.
In the midst, the voices of the two people in conversation emerged again, only clearer this time:
“… What Brother Lu said just now, I as a monk believe it is not entirely the case. Human power is limited, but there are always moments of oversight, just as there are exceptions in the world. Just like Buddhist Law, reviewing the sutras and annotations left by Buddha Lords of past dynasties, it is always like this, yet I believe, nowadays beyond the Buddhist Law, there should be another marvelous law…”
‘Pa’.
A piece fell.
“Hehe, the Dao of the Realm Sea is immensely vast, who can say what’s right and what’s wrong? Brother Ti Bo created another Buddhist Law, descended to the lower realm with great providence and a great vow; I am far inferior and dare not intervene, just hope for this journey’s merit to reach its peak, to return to ‘Chen Palace’… hehe, let’s only speak of this game today, and not anything else.”
There was a slight silence in the pavilion, then that voice gradually sounded, but there was no hint of disappointment or any other emotion:
“Hehe, indeed, I was reminded of some matters, hence became a bit impetuous… But as long as the black and white pieces are on this board, they will encounter each other, either the black piece captures the white, or the white captures the black. Even if you and I are unwilling, when the time comes, moves must still be made.”
Pa!
A piece fell on the board.
Then came the gentle clinking sounds of fingers lightly lifting pieces, placing them into the chess box, where they collided and tumbled.
Wang Ba stood outside the pavilion. Even without seeing the scene clearly, all the sounds had already constructed a corresponding scene in his mind.
He finally couldn’t resist and stepped forward two more steps towards the pavilion, adjusting his angle to look directly inside.
At this moment, he finally saw the scene inside the pavilion clearly.
A big monk in yellow robes, with an ample and wide face, with his chest and abdomen exposed, rested his chin on his hand on the stone table in an unseemly manner, while the other hand held a black piece, gently and unconsciously rubbing it.
Opposite him, a middle-aged cultivator in a white robe with black hair, with clear-cut and handsome side profile like a banished immortal, held a white piece and was frowning while staring intently at the stone table before him.
“Tibo… is this big monk?”
“Then, does that mean this Immortal Lu is the master of this Lu Garden?”
Wang Ba’s mind raced.
Then he subconsciously looked at the chessboard between the two.
However, as soon as he looked, he couldn’t help but freeze.
On the stone table, what chessboard was there?
It was dotted with lights, Dao Intention flowed, clearly concealing a Realm Sea of Domains!
He couldn’t help but glance at the pieces in the hands of both, only to be shocked to find, what pieces were those, obviously each was a domain!
Yet in their hands, they were indeed like chess pieces.
Using the Realm Sea as the board, and domains as the pieces!
Could immortals possess such terrifying methods?!
Wang Ba’s heart was struck with astonishment!
He knew nothing about how much power immortals held, yet he vaguely felt, this Tibo and Immortal Lu before him were likely not ordinary figures among immortals.
But at this moment, a question arose unbidden in his mind.
What matter could require the two immortals to personally descend from the Second Realm Sea?
And if his guess was correct, these two immortals were likely those who fought back then, resulting in the formation of the Sea of Chaos Realm.
But what matter would cause them to not hesitate to result in one being injured and the other dead as an outcome?
Even to the extent of destroying countless domains, ultimately forming this Sea of Chaos Realm like a prison, and the Immortal Forbidden Land they encountered before?
This question lingered in his mind, instinctively making him perk up his ears.
