Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Chapter 136 Dantai Luo Xue Understood

Late at night.

Inside the Wayless Sect palace.

At this very moment.

Dantai Luo Xue was sitting cross-legged on the floor, her hands placed evenly before her chest.

In front of her, the chessboard was laid out.

She was comprehending the Dao.

And she had been at it for half a day now.

Unfortunately, she hadn't comprehended anything.

Although she knew the chessboard before her was extraordinary, she wanted to comprehend something from it.

Yet her mind was still a blank slate.

Dantai Luo Xue didn't feel irritated.

But not being able to comprehend anything was somewhat uncomfortable.

"Chess Path, Chessboard..."

"The Chess Path and the Chessboard must be connected, but how can I comprehend the Dao from them?"

Dantai Luo Xue furrowed her brows.

Not a single clue presented itself.

Perhaps it would be better to play a game of chess to enhance my strength. Having improved, maybe I'll be able to comprehend something?

The thought had barely formed when Dantai Luo Xue's eyes suddenly widened.

No, she shouldn't be having such thoughts...

This clearly contradicted what the Respected Master had told her. He had given her the chessboard to serve as a clue, not for a direct boost in mana.

Dantai Luo Xue took a deep breath.

To clear her mind and spirit.

Knowing that the chessboard could rapidly enhance one's abilities, how could she not be tempted?

In the absence of Dao comprehension,

the thought of rapid power enhancement would magnify endlessly, tempting her like a Heart Demon.

"This is a test given by my Respected Master. I must suppress such thoughts, comprehend the Dao first, then enhance my strength!"

Thinking this, Dantai Luo Xue looked towards the outside of the palace.

As if she could see the Respected Master watching her from a distance, observing which choice she would make.

She stared outside the palace for a long while.

A faint smile appeared on her beautiful face.

Respected Master, your disciple will not disappoint you.

Dantai Luo Xue moved the chessboard slightly further away from her to demonstrate her resolve.

Her will became ever more determined.

She quieted her heart again to comprehend the Dao.

She recalled the words the Respected Master had said to her that day in the Ancestral Master Hall.

The chessboard is essentially the heaven and earth...

Aren't all beings merely chess pieces...

What's the difference between controlling the chessboard and mastering heaven and earth...

Dantai Luo Xue closed her eyes, meticulously pondering over her master's words.

Time ticked by...

Two hours later.

Dantai Luo Xue remained motionless, still sitting cross-legged.

The Respected Master's words lingered and repeated endlessly in her mind.

Yet she hadn't comprehended anything.

But her heart was exceptionally peaceful.

"To master the chessboard is to master heaven and earth..."

"What does it mean to master the chessboard? Holding it in hand? What kind of mastery is that, when there are thousands of chessboards, countless chessboards in the whole world? How can one truly master the chessboard? And what exactly is this Chessboard?"

Dantai Luo Xue pondered in her heart.

She slowly opened her eyes.

Glancing at the stone chessboard before her.

This too was a chessboard.

She thought for a moment, then took out an ordinary chessboard from her storage ring.

This also counted as a chessboard...

What did it truly mean to master the chessboard?

Dantai Luo Xue fell into deep thought.

Completely at a loss.

Just then,

An extraordinary phenomenon occurred.

Dantai Luo Xue's mind was suddenly shaken.

She felt a burning sensation in her eyes.

Instinctively, she rubbed them with her hands.

After the burning feeling subsided somewhat,

She reopened her eyes.

But when she opened her eyes again, everything around her had changed.

Between heaven and earth, there seemed to be traces to follow.

Dantai Luo Xue was stunned for a moment, then immediately looked up at the sky outside the hall.

She saw that in the originally pitch-black sky, there were numerous interwoven golden lines, forming what appeared to be a chessboard.

Indistinctly, countless chess pieces stood upon it.

The pieces, some black, some white, glimmered with light, positioned on the golden lines, dazzling to the extreme.

However, Dantai Luo Xue could only see the golden lines and chess pieces above her head; the golden lines beyond her vision were invisible to her.

Within the range of Dantai Luo Xue's vision.

There was a black piece right in front of her, set upon the golden lines in the sky.

For some reason, Dantai Luo Xue felt an urge within her.

To reach out with her Soul Power and touch that chess piece.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to give it a try, using the Soul Power of the Late Foundation Establishment Peak to make contact with the black piece in the sky.

As her Soul Power touched the black piece in the sky.

A piece of information appeared in Dantai Luo Xue's mind.

Su Qian Yuan!

The number one Body Refinement expert of the present age!

Simultaneously, Su Qian Yuan's image also emerged.

Isn't that her third senior brother?!

Could these pieces represent the powerhouses of this world? Just like the ones she had played with on the World Chessboard before, every move represented a strong cultivator?

Dantai Luo Xue looked up again carefully.

In the sky within the range of the Wayless Sect.

There was only one black piece, and that belonged to her third senior brother, Su Qian Yuan.

Above her own head, there was no piece, none for her Respected Master either, and definitely none for that cook.

Dantai Luo Xue thought it over and understood. Experience new stories on empire

It seemed that because her physical body was mortal, no piece was displayed.

The rule probably is that weaker individuals won't have pieces displayed; only strong cultivators who have reached a certain realm qualify.

Simply put, weak ones don't deserve to be pieces.

That's why, within the Wayless Sect, only her third senior brother Su Qian Yuan had a piece above his head.

As for the Sect Master?

This...

Could there really be anyone who thinks that the Sect Master is weak?

No way, right?

Dantai Luo Xue blinked her eyes.

In her heart, she probably also made a guess.

The Sect Master must not be governed by those rules.

If she's not mistaken.

The Sect Master must surpass all, standing above the rules!

It's just that she has no idea what realm the Sect Master is in.

As the thought passed through Dantai Luo Xue's mind, she continued to look up at the sky, wanting to touch with her Soul Power again.

But this time, before she could release her Soul Power.

A sudden wave of dizziness came over her.

Dantai Luo Xue's body instantly collapsed, falling backward.

After easing for quite a while.

Dantai Luo Xue finally regained some consciousness, with waves of splitting headache coming through.

This was a sign of Soul Power exhaustion.

Dantai Luo Xue, enduring the headache, looked up to find that all the phenomena such as the golden lines in the sky had disappeared.

Are all these only visible with the aid of Soul Power?

In an instant, Dantai Luo Xue had an epiphany.

The Chessboard can increase her Soul Power.

Soul Power in turn allows her to see the golden lines between heaven and earth.

If she's not wrong, the golden lines are key to her comprehension of the Dao.

These three elements form a cycle.

Is this a coincidence?

Impossible.

Has the Respected Master already prepared this path for her?

An understanding flickered through Dantai Luo Xue's eyes.

She knew it, why was the Respected Master so laid-back with her, seemingly wanting her to indulge in play and not cultivate, rather than meticulously teaching as traditional Cultivator Sects do.

It turns out the Respected Master had already laid out everything for her.

The Chessboard increases Soul Power.

Soul Power can observe the Heaven and Earth Chessboard lines.

The Heaven and Earth Chessboard lines can aid her in Dao comprehension.

The arrangement is crystal clear.

Respected Master, your disciple understands!
