Start from covering the sky and become invincible

Chapter 208 Tianji Chessboard Showdown

Zhou Qing's incarnation walked into a practice room, originally wanting to take Dao Qingling and others to the Imperial Master's Mansion for an immortal feast.

It was the highest-level banquet of the Ziwei Dynasty, and it was said that a meal would cost tens of thousands of catties, and the ingredients used were very precious and contained a lot of essence.

Although those essences were nothing to him, they were still very effective for Da Neng.

However, Dao Qingling did not agree to go to the Imperial Master's Mansion. Instead, he proposed to discuss Taoism after a long time.

It had indeed been a long time since he came to Ziwei. During most of the three years since he came to Ziwei, he had been practicing alone, and Dao Qingling had never mentioned this matter.

Then the practice room began to become psychedelic, and various strange phenomena emerged here.

Golden lotuses fall from the sky, the rainbow bridge crosses the sky, and sometimes bright stars appear one after another, and sometimes a white mist rises.

The rhyme of Tao permeated the air, as if the origin of Tao had arrived here, and various rules were evolved by the two of them.

In the National Teacher's Mansion, Zhou Qing's deity received the best hospitality, Ziwei God smiled at the old National Teacher, and the guests and hosts had a good time this evening, but Zhou Qing knew that this was just the beginning.

Long before the seclusion, when he gave the seed of destiny to Princess Yue Shi and asked her to take it back, he knew what would happen today.

Because he knew that secret masters like Ziwei Guoshi would be very interested in that seed, and they would most likely not be able to figure out what it was made of, and could only feel the endless mystery related to fate.

According to his calculation, once Ziwei Guoshi fell into a state of obsession with research, he would definitely choose to meet him in order to find out the secrets.

It's just that he didn't expect that this national master could study to such an obsessive level. No wonder he could become the only secret master of Ziwei Ancient Star.

Yes, Master Tianji, this is the level of Tianji art of this peerless national master, which is quite advanced.

When he learned the news during the conversation with Imperial Master Ziwei at the banquet, he was a little surprised, but then he thought about it and it was normal.

Otherwise, this peerless national master would be so famous among Tianji masters.

Although he is still at the beginning of this realm, his status in the lineage of Tianji masters is equivalent to that of a saint in the secret realm. It is indeed not bad to say that he is a figure that all Tianji masters in Ziwei Star must call their ancestor.

Yin Tiande stayed in the city for one night. When he went to the house the next day, he found that the door was still tightly closed. He couldn't help but sigh, and then left here with Yin Tianzhi.

A temporary setback is nothing. People like him are as strong as iron and can quickly adjust after slight fluctuations.

What's more, he has a backup plan, which is Guanghan Palace. It's just inferior to the choice in front of him, but on Ziwei Star, Guanghan Palace is already powerful enough and is one of the most prosperous forces.

After a night of banquets, the second day's Imperial Master Ziwei finally began to reveal his true intentions.

This is a magnificent garden. At first glance, it is lush green, with small bridges and flowing water, giving it a painting-like beauty.

Imperial Master Ziwei invited Zhou Qing to play chess in a pavilion. It seemed casual, but in fact it was a hidden secret.

"Demon Lord, can you guess whether the chess piece in this old man's hand is odd or even?" Imperial Master Ziwei was dressed in a white robe, stroking his beard and smiling.

Guess first, this is the method used in the rules of Go to determine who of the two sides will move first.

Master Ziwei is now using one of these methods. He grabbed a handful of chess pieces from the chess box and asked Zhou Qing to guess whether the number of chess pieces in his hand was odd or even. If he guessed correctly, Zhou Qing could move first. .

Zhou Qing, dressed in purple, was sitting quietly across from him. He had an indescribable aura about him, as deep as the ocean, calm and powerful.

"Shan." He said in a calm voice.

Master Ziwei sighed and opened his palm. There were three chess pieces in it, and they were indeed an odd number.

Then, the two started a battle on the chessboard.

There was no glint of sword or shadow in this fight, but it was nothing like normal Go games like ordinary people.

A huge black and white chessboard rose from between them. In an instant, the two of them seemed to have changed the world. Chaos filled the air around them, except for the chessboard in front of them that shone brightly.

This is not just a simple game of chess, but also a duel of divine skills. From the very beginning, Master Ziwei has already taken action. He used the power of divine secrets to cover up the cause and effect of the number of chess pieces in his hand, and tested Zhou Qing. .

As a result, Zhou Qing didn't stagnate at all. He got the odd number right without any hindrance from his divine power.

And now as Zhou Qing made moves one after another, he gradually felt that something was wrong with this game.

Three of four, three of six, three of five, four of five

As the two men landed on the chessboard one after another, a few drops of cold sweat began to appear on Ziwei's face. The hand holding the chess piece stopped in mid-air and did not fall for a long time.

This is already the seventy-sixth move. The layout stage of Go has ended, and the real fighting in the middle game will begin.

But in the first hand of the middle game, he frowned because he felt that he seemed to be at a disadvantage.

Go is a compulsory course in Tianjishu, and it is also the most basic course.

When Tianji masters like them compete in Go, they will compete in all aspects of Tianjishu, to see who can count more pieces, to see who can count more possible futures, and to see who has the best ability to adjust temporarily.

Moreover, unlike ordinary people, who can only detect when their winning rate drops significantly, with the ability of their celestial masters, even changes in their winning rate as thin as a hair can be intuitively reflected in their eyes.

But now, just after the layout stage, he found that his winning rate was only 30%. Unless the opponent collapsed in the middle game, he was very likely to lose this game.

For Zhou Qing, Go is something he naturally knows.

Because it is very simple for a monk to learn the rules of a game. When he was a child, he would occasionally see the elders in his clan playing Go. After watching it a few times, he naturally learned it.

It's just that he usually focuses on cultivation and rarely puts his mind on other things.

However, even if he made a few bets, his current life level has been improved many times compared to ordinary people, and his computing power has already exceeded the limits of ordinary people.

If it were to be in the past life, the world-famous Go AI might not be his opponent now. It would take an AI like the Eternal Star Domain that combines super technology with Dao Patterns to reach his current level of computing power.

Zhou Qing looked at the old man opposite him with a pair of clear eyes, and slowly said: "Why doesn't the Imperial Master just fall behind?"

Ziwei Guoshi's power of heaven is running rapidly. In his mind, he can run through thousands of chess games in an instant, all of which have evolved since this move, and then choose the best decision among them.

Not the best, not the best, but the best.

But the game he played now made him realize the feeling that he had forgotten for many years. He felt huge pressure from the layout stage, and there was a sense of oppression like a mountain and a sea.

Finally, he finally made a decision in his heart and finally made a move.

"It's interesting." Zhou Qing raised the corner of his mouth and praised.

In his eyes, this small chessboard was like a boundless ocean, and the Ziwei Imperial Master's piece was like a star falling into it, instantly causing changes in a huge sea area.

One thing to say is that Ziwei Guoshi's experience is indeed much richer than his. That move is not good at all. It can only be regarded as a trial move. It is from a height of experience. It depends on how he will deal with it next. Take the initiative to steer the situation in his active direction.

However, Zhou Qing's Law of Destiny is too strong, and Ziwei's calculation power is far behind him. Some experience may not be able to turn the situation around.

Sure enough, more than twenty moves passed in the blink of an eye, and more and more cold sweat appeared on Ziwei's face. He could feel that his winning rate was being eroded little by little, getting lower and lower.

Zhou Qing made another move, and it directly formed a sharp blade with the move made more than forty times ago, directly slashing Ziwei Guoshi's winning rate.

"Alas, I lost." Imperial Master Ziwei sighed.

In this battle, defeat is certain.

His winning rate was already less than one ten thousandth, and there was no way he could save himself. There was no need to continue.

He took out two chess pieces, put them on the chessboard, and surrendered.

This game is still in the middle of the game, and Zhou Qing has already won.

"Is the Imperial Master convinced now?" Zhou Qing said with a faint smile.

Master Ziwei sighed, feeling relieved.

After sighing for a while, he smiled again and said: "As expected of the Demon Lord, your secret skills are indeed much better than mine. With your chess skills, you are also at the top among the masters. I am convinced."

Today's chess game finally made him feel relieved.

He once felt that if the seed could not produce anything by himself, it was not necessarily because the demon master's secret technique was stronger than his, or it might just be that the seed was special.

After today's game, he really untied his knot and admitted that Zhou Qing's Tianji Technique was indeed better than his. This was a fact.

However, Zhou Qing shook his head and said, "I don't understand the magic of heaven."

"You are also quite good at joking. You are not as vicious and murderous as outsiders say." Imperial Master Ziwei said with a smile.

"I really don't understand." Zhou Qing repeated again.

He meant what he said, because it was the truth. He had never seen the method of Tianji lineage. Everything was violent calculation based on the power of fate.

Judging by the power at the upper level of Tianji's power, even without any method, he can achieve the same or even stronger effect than Tianji's power.

Imperial Master Ziwei's expression gradually became serious, and she asked: "Please teach me, the Patriarch, what kind of power is that seed made of? Why does it make me feel an unimaginable attraction, but I can't cause him to move at all?" .”

"The power of destiny." Zhou Qing spat out four words.

He sat opposite Imperial Master Ziwei, his expression calm and unchanged.

Boom!

There was like a thunderous explosion in Ziwei Guoshi's mind, and those four words kept echoing, making him feel dizzy, almost thinking that he had heard wrongly.

His eyes were wide open, and countless thoughts passed through his mind, which finally turned into this sentence.

"Is it really the power of destiny?" Imperial Master Ziwei's voice was trembling, and his gray beard was trembling.

What they practice in this lineage is "Stealing Life", and it is said that they can spy on the power of fate when they reach the peak.

But at that level, no one among hundreds of generations of Tianji Imperial Masters had ever reached that level, and now there was a person who had come into contact with the power of destiny right in front of him.

No wonder he felt the power of that seed was so attractive. It turned out to be related to the ultimate achievement of the Tianji lineage.

"Wait a minute, what do you mean, you condensed that seed yourself?" Master Ziwei felt like a meteor flashed across his mind, and he couldn't hold back and asked immediately.

Zhou Qing nodded, very calm.

"What? You can actually control the power of destiny instead of just watching?" Imperial Master Ziwei was stunned and couldn't control his expression.

According to the content of their "Life-stealing Technique", there has never been a person in the world who can manipulate the power of destiny. It is not that there have been Tianji masters who have not cultivated to the extreme since ancient times.

That kind of Tianji master even surpasses the Tianji divine master. In terms of the status of Tianji achievements, it is almost equal to the supreme in the practice of law, but he is also unable to operate the power of destiny.

Some ancient descriptions actually talk about the power of cause and effect. However, even the power of cause and effect can only be achieved by reaching a level that surpasses the master of heaven.

And the Demon Lord in front of him, a living person who could control the power of destiny, was actually right in front of him?

Zhou Qing saw Imperial Master Ziwei looking in disbelief and prepared to demonstrate to him.

"brush!"

In a flash of light, a young bird appeared here, with fiery red feathers, burning like a flame.

This is a pet kept by the Imperial Master's Mansion. It is said that it has some divine phoenix blood and is still in its infancy.

Zhou Qing shot it with one hand, as if there were no shocking visions, but the expression of this divine bird suddenly changed, full of human panic.

"What's going on? Why am I here? Imperial Master? Did you do it?" This magical bird suddenly uttered human words, which surprised the Imperial Master Ziwei, because in terms of its cultivation, it was still Not capable enough to speak.

In another place, a humanoid creature suddenly began to flap its arms and make strange sounds, as if it wanted to fly into the sky.

Zhou Qing raised his hand again, and the people and birds immediately returned to normal. At the same time, the entire Imperial Prefect's Office was immediately covered with a layer of skynet. Everyone was unaware, but they were affected, and various things happened. All kinds of coincidences.

And all this fell into the eyes of Imperial Master Ziwei, making his eyes even more shocked.

He suddenly said: "Grandmaster, you are well-deserved for this title. I have a wish. Please ask the Patriarch to pass on your secret skills. I still have some say in the Ziwei Dynasty. I can set up statues in various places to provide you with Willing power.”

Zhou Qing shook his head and said: "As I said, I really don't know the magic of heaven, but you can let me read a few scriptures related to the magic of heaven. I'm very curious about the rules of operation in heaven. Maybe I can get some insights."

"This is too simple. Since ancient times, every Tianji National Master will turn what he has learned in his life into a scripture before he dies, and leave it to future generations. The Tianji Collection of my lineage is the best in Ziwei, and it will definitely make you gain something."

Imperial Master Ziwei laughed loudly.
