nThere were also some disciples from other sects who had found their sect elders and sect masters in the crowd.

nOriginally, other than the elders who led the group, the sect masters and elders would usually not interfere. At most, they would only look at the rankings at the entrance.

nThey had vaguely guessed the purpose of their sect’s experts coming here.

nOf course, what made them most excited was that their sect’s seniors were actually so terrifying. They knew better than anyone else how terrifying the second floor was. However, this group of elders and seniors could actually walk at such a speed. It was simply awesome!

nAnd when those experts saw the disciples’ envious gazes, they also understood why.

nBut in reality, having such speeds was not their piece of work. Instead, they had plagiarized Xuan Yi’s method.

nAt this moment, they had already deeply understood that this test was not just about willpower.

nAnd Xuan Yi’s method was the real way to pass the test.

nAfter coming to the third floor, all their scattered cultivation returned. This time, they were even more convinced that this was the real way to pass the test. Disciples below the golden elixir phase could gain a lot from this.

nLooking at the disciples’ envious gazes, their faces turned red.

nHowever, they did not explain anything and allowed the disciples to misunderstand.

n“Elder!”

n“Sect master!”

nThe disciples bowed one after another and stood behind their respective sects.

nAfter this group of people came to the third floor, they immediately noticed Xuan Yi sitting in front of the chessboard.

nLin Jian’s envious gaze flashed. He was attracted by the aura inside.

n“The aura of the heaven!”

nOther than Lin Jian, the others were similarly shocked.

nThey were a group of old monsters who had cultivated for numerous years. Among them, some even had experienced many tribulations.

nAnd here, they felt a familiar aura.

nThat was the aura of the lightning tribulation, or to put it another way, the aura of the Heaven.

nEvery cultivator who had experienced the lightning tribulation could feel a trace of this aura. If they could feel the law of the heaven from it, it would be a powerful upgrade for those who were undergoing the tribulation. It would also be of great help to those who would ascend to immortality in the future.

nHowever, that was only a trace, and this place was very dense.

nThey couldn’t help but look inside the restriction, and they had a guess. Moreover, they were all shocked by the guess in their hearts.

nCould it be that this was the heaven!

nThe heaven was a supreme rule that controlled the life and death of the entire continent.

nMany cultivators would swear on the heaven when they were forced to gamble their lives. If these cultivators didn’t abide by the oath, the heaven would send down lightning tribulation to take their lives.

nIn other words, the heaven was the most powerful rule in the world. Even immortals had to abide by this rule.

nIn this place, the rich aura of the heaven shocked them all.

n“Could it be that Xuan Yi ‘s chess opponent is the heaven?”

nThese words shocked everyone!

nThe heaven.

nThese two words represented infinite control.

nPlaying chess with the heaven would be a terrifying thing!

nThey didn’t even dare to think about it.

nAnd now, Elder Xuan was sitting quietly and waiting.

nThe eyes of the experts focused, especially Lin Jian. He drew out his natal spirit sword and was about to break the restriction. In an instant, wind and sand flew wildly. The disciples on the third floor all felt an intense sword energy.

n“No, this isn’t sword energy! This is the consciousness of the sword!”

nThe pitch-black sword condensed an infinite and violent power. The elders didn’t dare to guarantee whether they could dodge this sword full of sword consciousness.

nTerrifying!

nWas this the strength of a half-step sect master?

nMany disciples believed that this sword could easily split open a huge mountain.

nHowever, even though he had already reached the half-step sect master phase and even a sect master expert had to retreat from this sword, when it hit the restriction, it was like a drop of water hanging in the ocean and did not cause the slightest ripple.

nIn the next breath, the restriction suddenly rebounded and a powerful attack was sent directly into his body. Lin Jian was blown hundreds of feet away on the spot.

nHis body, which he was proud of, could almost withstand ordinary attacks of the same standard, and it was full of holes.

nIt directly beat him into a serious injury.

nHe stood up, full of unwillingness, but he didn’t rush up. He took a precious pill and slowly repaired his body.

nAfter Lin Jian being attacked, the group of masters and experts from the different sects also suppressed their desire to forcefully break the restriction.

nThat was an existence at the half-step sect master expert phase, yet he was seriously injured by the backlash. Many of them hadn’t reached the half-step sect master expert phase. Of course, there were also some experts who had reached the sect master phase, such as the sect master of the Yin Corpse sect. However, he was very clear that, even he himself was unable to break the restriction.

nSuddenly.

nA change occurred in the arena.

nA terrifying aura was emitted from within the restriction.

n“Snapped”

nA white chess piece was held by an invisible hand and flew onto the chessboard.

n“It’s here!”

nXuan Yi opened his eyes and a bright light shot out.

nHe held the chess piece and slowly placed it down.

nThe chess piece stirred up a cloud of dust.

nImmediately after, the formless hand placed another piece down.

nXuan Yi frowned slightly.

nXuan Yi did not know who was playing the chess with him and thought it was the spiritual sense of the trial tower. However, this move was filled with dominance.

n“You want to control the whole game?”

nXuan Yi curled the corner of his mouth slightly and put down the white chess piece.

nThe people outside the restriction held their breaths. This was the consciousness of the heaven, and Xuan Yi was playing this way.

nWas he going to fight head-on with the heaven?

nCould it be that he did not know the terror of the heaven? He was seeking his own death!

nPlaying chess against the heaven, one could comprehend a trace of the energy of the heaven in any case. It would be of great help to one’s future ascension.

nIf it was a defensive stance, one could live longer. However, Xuan Yi’s actions were clearly going to clash head-on with the heaven.

nThe experts were extremely shocked.

nXuan Yi, was he crazy?

nIn the arena, the formless hand seemed to be extremely surprised. It paused for a second before flying over with an even sharper aura.

n“This kid is really want to die. He angered the heaven and will die without even knowing how!”

nXuan Yi stared at the chessboard with a strange expression.

nIt seemed like the trial tower’s spiritual sense had a bad temper.

nJust one move against and there came an even fiercer attack.

nDid the little trial tower’s spiritual sense want to defy the heaven?

nXuan Yi continued to play, but his moves were getting pressurising.

nEvery time Xuan Yi took a step, everyone outside the restriction became nervous.

nBecause Xuan Yi didn’t defend at all, all the chess pieces were used to attack the heaven!

nThat was very arrogant.

nThis was the heaven. Weren’t you afraid that the heaven would be furious and send down a lightning tribulation to strike you into pieces?

nOf course, Xuan Yi didn’t know who Bai Zi was.

nAnd after playing for so long, there was still no winner.

nThud.

nXuan Yi threw the chess piece on the chessboard.

nHe slowly stood up.

n“Did Elder Xuan lose?”

nA disciple said slowly.

n“This kid finally lost!”

n“I was worried that he would anger the heaven.”

nAt this time, the Yin corpse sect master who was quite proficient in chess slowly shouted, “Wait!”

n“He didn’t lose.”

n
