Dragon Martial Sovereign-Chapter 43 Heaven and Earth Chess Game

"Who am I?"

The silhouette shook its head and said, "To tell the truth, it’s been so long that I’ve even forgotten my own name!"

Having said this, the silhouette paused for a moment before continuing, "All I remember is that people used to call me Wangtian Emperor!"

"Wangtian Emperor?"

Lin Fan racked his brain, but he had no memory of this person.

"It’s been too long, far too long," the silhouette lamented with a sigh.

At this moment, the silhouette seemed to be still lost in past memories.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan just stood there quietly, not saying a word, silently watching the silhouette.

After a long time, the silhouette finally snapped out of its reminiscence, glanced at Lin Fan again, and said, "Oh, I have another identity. I was the previous owner of the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda. Later, I went to another spacetime. Due to special reasons, I couldn’t take the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda with me and had to leave it here. However, before I left, I left a residual soul here to wait for the new owner of the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda!"

Upon hearing what the silhouette said, Lin Fan couldn’t help but feel ecstatic inside.

The next moment, Lin Fan couldn’t help but ask, "Do you mean that I can become the owner of the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda?"

To know, the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda was the treasure of the entire Sky Star Sect!

It was hard to imagine just how powerful the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda was!

If he could become the owner of the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda, it would undoubtedly be very beneficial for his future cultivation!

After asking this, Lin Fan looked at the silhouette with eyes full of expectation.

The silhouette first nodded, then shook its head and said, "You could say that, but not entirely so!"

Lin Fan, puzzled, asked, "What do you mean?"

The silhouette explained, "To be precise, you have already become half the owner of the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda. If you can pass the trial I have left, then you can become the true owner of the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda. The Sky Star Treasure Pagoda is a supreme treasure between heaven and earth. If you can gain its assistance, your future cultivation will surely be smooth sailing!"

Lin Fan asked, "What trial?"

The silhouette said, "Simple, play a game of chess with me!"

"Chess?"

Lin Fan was startled and asked, "Is it that simple?"

The silhouette nodded with a smile and said, "Simple, right? You might not think so later!"

Lin Fan declared, "As a junior, I would like to see for myself!"

At this moment, Lin Fan was filled with confidence.

To know, in his previous life, Lin Fan was almost omniscient, and his chess skills were also very exquisite, which is why he was so confident.

The silhouette remarked, "Young man, I can see that you are quite confident. Well then, come on!"

As he spoke, the silhouette waved his hand, and immediately a giant chessboard appeared on the ground in front of them, with several scattered chess pieces already placed on it.

The silhouette added, "This game is called Heaven and Earth Chess Game. If you can solve it, you can pass my trial and ultimately take control of the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda. If you cannot solve it, then you should obediently leave. I will continue to wait here, until someone destined arrives!"

Heaven and Earth Chess Game?

Lin Fan had no such game in his memory.

Nevertheless, Lin Fan remained fearless and extremely confident, his eyes looking towards the chessboard ahead.

"Hmm?"

But the next moment, Lin Fan was utterly astonished!

Because Lin Fan shockingly discovered that he couldn’t see the chessboard clearly? He could only vaguely see the chess pieces, but not their positions.

Moreover, Lin Fan felt that the chess pieces seemed to move?

"This... this..."

Lin Fan thought in extreme shock, "If I can’t even see the chess pieces clearly, how can I play chess?"

Lin Fan summoned all his soul power, attempting to use it to discern the positions of the chess pieces, but alas, it was still of no avail...

At this, Lin Fan became a bit anxious inside!

The silhouette then looked at Lin Fan again and said, "Seeing the chess pieces clearly is also a part of solving the Heaven and Earth Chess Game. If you can’t even see the content of the game clearly, then you don’t qualify to play this game of chess with me!"

Lin Fan earnestly said, "I will definitely be able to see the chess pieces clearly!"

However, Lin Fan tried many methods, but unfortunately, all his efforts were in vain; no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn’t make out the contents of the chess game.

"Could it be that I am unable to solve this so-called Heaven and Earth Chess Game?" Lin Fan thought unwillingly: "No, I can’t just give up like this!"

"I must strive, even if there is a sliver of hope, I can’t give up!"

Lin Fan is definitely not the kind of person who gives up easily.

At this moment, the phantom looked at Lin Fan again and said indifferently: "Young man, if you really can’t discern the content of the chess game, you might as well give up, because your Heart Realm hasn’t reached that level, so no matter how hard you try, it’s impossible to see through the chess game!"

Heart Realm!?

Upon hearing these two words, Lin Fan couldn’t help but be stunned!

It was as if a sudden flash of inspiration struck his mind!

"So it turns out, to see the content within the chess game is related to the Heart Realm?"

"Right, this chess game itself is called the Heaven and Earth Chess Game? I used to think it was just a simple name, but it looks like it’s definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface!"

"Heaven and Earth, to use Heaven and Earth as the chessboard, inherently requires one to transcend beyond Heaven and Earth. If I am always confined within Heaven and Earth, how can I possibly see clearly the Heaven and Earth Chess Game?"

"But, how can one transcend Heaven and Earth?"

"Heaven and Earth are already the limit, how can it be transcended?"

"No, that’s not right, Heaven and Earth are not the limit. Beyond Heaven, there is Heaven Outer Heaven, beyond Earth, there is Land Outer Earth. Since this is so, let me be this Heaven Outer Heaven, let me be this Land Outer Earth!"

Deep within Lin Fan’s heart, he suddenly felt enlightened.

In that instant, it seemed like no worldly affairs between Heaven and Earth could affect Lin Fan’s mood anymore.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan’s Heart Realm was also rapidly ascending.

"Ha ha, ha ha!"

Feeling euphoric inside, Lin Fan couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter.

At the same time, there appeared to be a strange aura emanating from Lin Fan’s body.

"Hmm?"

Even the phantom, upon sensing the odd aura around Lin Fan, couldn’t help but be slightly startled.

At the same moment, Lin Fan found himself entering a special void, a void without Heaven or Earth, to be precise—where Heaven and Earth were under Lin Fan’s feet. Looking down, all things between Heaven and Earth were within his sight...

In that instant, Lin Fan had astonishingly become the Heaven Outer Heaven, had become the Land Outer Earth.

"Hehe, so this is how it is!" Lin Fan laughed.

The next moment, Lin Fan returned to normal, just as he was before.

On the surface, Lin Fan appeared unchanged from before, but in reality, his Heart Realm had reached an extremely terrifying level.

And as Lin Fan’s Heart Realm ascended further, his cultivation also broke through once more.

Previously, inside the first level of the Sky Star Treasure Pagoda, Lin Fan’s cultivation had already broken through to the Middle Period of Into Profound Realm!

Now, after another breakthrough, Lin Fan’s cultivation had reached the peak of the Middle Period of Into Profound Realm, just one step away from reaching the Late Period of Into Profound Realm...

Of course, the improvement of his cultivation was minor compared to the enhancement in Lin Fan’s Heart Realm.

Afterward, Lin Fan looked at the Heaven and Earth Chess Game again.

This time, the Heaven and Earth Chess Game appeared crystal clear in Lin Fan’s eyes!

On the Heaven and Earth Chess Game, there were a total of thirty-six chess pieces, with eighteen black and eighteen white pieces!

At that moment, Lin Fan was holding the black pieces, while the phantom held the white pieces.

It was now Lin Fan’s turn to make a move!

However, Lin Fan’s brow slightly furrowed, as he could see that he only had one chance to make a move; if he couldn’t completely seal the black pieces in one move, his white pieces would be completely sealed by the black pieces.

That is to say, Lin Fan only had one chance!

If this one opportunity was utilized well, he would win big!

Otherwise, it would be a complete defeat!

Of course, what truly troubled Lin Fan was that he had nowhere to place his pieces.
