Chess World

When Zhuowen finally appeared outside the Tower of Trials, the Black Tortoise's huge body appeared in front of him. Its pair of dark eyes stared at Zhuowen.

"Haha!

Little Tortoise, this boy only used fifteen days to complete the Tower of Trials. Do you think this boy's talent surpasses your master's? "

The illusory voice suddenly rang out, causing Zhuo Wen's pupils to shrink slightly. He looked around and was shocked in his heart. He was completely unable to sense where the voice had come from. It was as if it had appeared out of thin air.

The Black Tortoise's eyes darkened and replied indifferently, "I admit that this boy's talent is indeed stronger than my master's. However, whether it is martial arts or mental strength, just having a high talent does not mean that one can become a peerless powerhouse. In addition, one must have a strong will and not die prematurely. Only then will one have great achievements."

"High talent also means that one has a high starting point. As long as one does not slack off, one's achievements will not be too bad.

Let's not argue about this anymore. You can now bring this boy to your master's place of inheritance, "the illusory voice said indifferently.

The Black Tortoise nodded and immediately signaled to Zhuowen. The latter naturally understood and stepped onto the Black Tortoise's back. Then, the man and the ghost disappeared into the group of reefs.

"Senior Black Tortoise, may I know who the owner of the voice was?" Zhuowen suddenly asked curiously.

From the Black Tortoise's wary attitude, he knew that the owner of the voice was definitely not ordinary.

The Black Tortoise shook his head and said ambiguously, "He is a very stubborn guy. However, I can't reveal his identity. If he wants you to know, he will appear. If he doesn't want you to know and I tell you, that guy might fight me to the death."

The Black Tortoise's attitude naturally surprised Zhuowen. However, since the Black Tortoise did not intend to say anything, he naturally did not need to ask further. However, he became more curious and interested in the owner of the voice.

After a while, the Black Tortoise carried Zhuowen through the group of reefs and came to an underwater valley. Inside, there was a rather ancient stone statue.

The surface of the stone statue was covered in moss, and its facial features were blurry. It was obvious that it had been there for a long time.

"You have the complete River Diagram Formation on you. According to the Dragon Horse's guidance, you can naturally enter the Land of Inheritance," the Divine Tortoise said to Zhuowen in a low, muffled voice after landing below the stone statue.

"Thank you, Senior Black Turtle."

Zhuowen cupped his hands respectfully and summoned the jade cauldron. At the same time, he relied on the River Diagram in the jade cauldron and began to draw the River Diagram Array stroke by stroke in the void.

The boundless Yellow River gushed out, and a huge Dragon Horse carrying the River Diagram stepped out of the Yellow River. It let out a clear neigh as it stared at the stone statue.

Whoosh!

In an instant, the Dragon Horse took a step forward and dashed towards the stone statue's chest. Zhuowen, who had been observing closely, followed closely behind. The moment the Dragon Horse entered the stone statue's chest, he discovered that there was a human-sized hole in the statue's chest.

"No wonder the Monster King said that the River Diagram Formation was the key to opening the Inheritance of the Monarch Tomb's Master. So that's how it is."

Looking at the hole in the stone statue's chest, he instantly understood the meaning of the key. He even realized that the Trial Tower was unnecessary. He had the River Diagram Formation on him, so he could directly enter the stone statue to receive the Inheritance. There was no need to go through the trouble of entering the Trial Tower and then coming out to receive the Inheritance.

However, he also instantly understood that the Trial Tower was arranged by the Divine Tortoise without permission. Zhuowen did not reject this arrangement. After all, he had gained a lot of benefits from it, which allowed him to have a deeper understanding and understanding of Immortal Power.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Zhuo Wen's eyes flickered as he took a step into the black hole. Soon after, he felt the scene before his eyes change. He discovered that what appeared before him was a stone hall made of stacked jade. The stone hall was supported by large crystal clear jade pillars.

What surprised Zhuowen was that the furnishings in this large stone hall were extremely simple and monotonous. There was only a jade-colored stone table in the stone hall, and beside the table were two jade-colored stone stools.

On the stone table, there was a chessboard. Apart from that, there was nothing else in the stone hall.

"Hmm?"

Looking at the simple side of the stone hall, Zhuowen frowned. His heart was filled with suspicion. In this stone hall, he did not see anything related to the Inheritance. Apart from the table, two stools, and a chessboard, there was nothing else.

With suspicion in his heart, Zhuowen slowly walked to the stone table and sat on one of the stools. However, his gaze was fixed on the chessboard on the table.

On the chessboard, black and white chess pieces were arranged in a mess. Although it looked messy, Zhuowen faintly felt that this somewhat messy arrangement was extremely comfortable and appropriate.

It was clearly a mess, but he felt that it was appropriate. This feeling was somewhat strange to Zhuowen.

"Is there something strange about this chessboard?"

Muttering softly, Zhuowen focused and quietly stared at the chessboard. Suddenly, he discovered that the chess pieces on the chessboard seemed to have come alive. The chess pieces on the chessboard were moving, and they were actually drawing profound trajectories on the chessboard.

"Chessboard World, Chessboard World."

A powerful voice rang out from the chessboard, resounding through the entire stone hall. Afterwards, Zhuowen discovered that the chess pieces on the chessboard moved faster and faster. They were like stars, flickering with black and white light, turning into a white cloud.

Through the white clouds, Zhuo Wen saw a world. Inside, there were mountains, birds chirping, flowers fragrant, waterfalls flowing, and woodcutters moving about. It was like a paradise. At the other end of this paradise, there was a flight of stairs that stretched across the horizon. The flight of stairs was very long, as if it led to the ends of the world.

"Chessboard World, Chessboard World.

This chessboard actually contains a miniature world. The master of the tomb must have carved an extremely powerful formation into the chessboard to create it. "

Zhuowen murmured to himself. He took a step forward and entered the chessboard world.

Standing in the air, he overlooked the entire chessboard world. Like a bird, he wandered through the world. He discovered that the humans in the chessboard world were all ordinary people. There were no powerful cultivators.

Walking through the chessboard world step by step, Zhuowen saw the vicissitudes of life, the various states of the world, birth, old age, sickness, death, love, hate, and relationships. He could not help but sigh.

In the lives of ordinary people, he had seen far too much in the chessboard world. They were unable to transcend life and death, unable to control fate. The only thing they could do was follow the laws of the world. They came when they were born, and they left when they died. At the end of their lives, they were reduced to dust.

"This is life, but … this is not the life I want."

Finally, after stepping through everything in the chessboard world, Zhuowen arrived at the end of the world. His gaze became sharp, deep, and determined.

He knew very well that everything in the world had a limit. They were restricted by the rules and could not escape the restriction of their lifespan. Even powerful cultivators would reach the end of their lifespan if they were unable to become even more powerful. They would be reduced to dust like ordinary people.

However, Zhuo Wen wasn't willing. He wanted to continue walking. He wanted to walk as high as the heavens, and as deep as the earth. He definitely wouldn't be mediocre in his life and turn into a pile of dirt. Instead, he wanted to stand tall in the heavens and earth and live eternally.

"Become stronger. I need to become stronger."

Zhuowen reached out his right hand and grabbed at the sky. Then, his gaze fell on the staircase that led to the sky. His eyes shone brightly.

Zhuowen took a step forward and stepped onto the staircase. He walked up step by step with determination in his eyes. He walked into the clouds, into the void, and into the endless darkness. He did not stop. As long as the staircase was as high as it was, he would go as high as it was. He did not stop or hesitate.

"Hmm?

This is … an array diagram? "

The moment he stepped into the void, Zhuowen discovered that there was a huge stone tablet on the other side of the void. On the stone tablet, there was a complicated array diagram. This array diagram was even more profound than the slaughter array diagram.

Zhuowen stared at the array diagram on the stone tablet. His hands moved in the void involuntarily. A mysterious aura swept out and a powerful pressure surged out.

"What a profound array diagram."

After copying one-tenth of it, Zhuowen discovered that with his current cultivation level and immortal energy reserves, he was unable to continue copying this nameless array diagram.

"This is an Arcane Saint Master's array diagram. Your cultivation level is too low. It is almost impossible for you to comprehend an array diagram of this level. Even copying it is very difficult," Xiao Hei said in a low voice.

"It really is an Arcane Saint Master's array diagram?

Can this also be considered a type of inheritance? "

When the immortal energy in his hands dispersed again, Zhuowen stopped. Instead, he stared at the array diagram on the stone tablet and silently memorized it. He knew that his cultivation level was too low right now. When his cultivation level reached a higher level in the future, perhaps he would be able to completely comprehend it.

Zhuowen sat before the stone tablet for three days. He silently observed the slivers of heavenly law contained within the array diagram. This was an indelible benefit to his Formation Dao and mental energy.

Three days later, Zhuowen continued to advance on the staircase. In just a short while, he actually encountered another identical stone tablet beside the staircase. However, the array diagram on the stone tablet was completely different.

Zhuo Wen continued to stay before the second stone tablet for three days. Although he was unable to comprehend the profundity of the formation diagram within the stone tablet, at the very least, it provided indelible training and benefits to his Array Dao and Immortal Force.

"As expected of an Arcane Saint Master. His attainments in the Formation Dao are who knows how many times greater than mine."

A sliver of admiration appeared in Zhuowen's eyes as he slowly stood up. An Arcane Saint Master was an existence comparable to a legendary Saint. Just the immortal energy they grasped was already terrifying enough, not to mention the various strange and unpredictable methods of the Formation Dao.

Moreover, Zhuo Wen discovered that as he continued to comprehend these profound diagrams, the Immortal Force in his body continued to grow. At the same time, his Spiritual Force and Origin Energy also showed signs of rapidly increasing as his Immortal Force grew.
