Chapter 1028 - 935: Large-Scale Invasion
The small mountain village.
In the small courtyard, the chess game had changed.
Yun Xi’s two hidden pieces had now appeared and, moreover, occupied advantageous positions.
Her chess had come to life.
“Really… my chess is alive,”
Yun Xi looked at the chessboard, blinked, and said,
“It’s a pity that it has come to life with just two eyes. If there were more… that would be great.”
Li Fan also smiled and asked,
“How can we make more of such chess pieces?”
Yun Xi thought for a long, long time but still had no answer in her heart.
Li Fan was not in a hurry, either. He had also pondered this question for quite some time.
He promptly made a move and said,
“Watch out, I’m launching a major invasion.”
Yun Xi looked at the chessboard and declared,
“A major invasion? I’m not afraid of you at all!”
…
Within the chess domain, everyone was startled by the words of Yang Daomei and Jiang Yunsheng.
They were unable to compose themselves for a long time.
“Well said, well said!”
The old monk Patriarch Shizong spoke, a look of emotion flashing across his face as he said,
“If she could return, it would be a blessing for all the people of the world.”
The Grass Ancestor murmured,
“It must be her, returning powerfully… to complete the Nine Laws?”
The Chess Ancestor at this moment was extremely eager and insisted,
“Left eye, hurry up and open, that woman might be coming back, if you open your right eye in front of her, you’ll be beaten to %… I really don’t want to get hit!”
But, the left eye continued to feign death.
The Chess Ancestor, left with no choice, steeled his heart and voluntarily closed his right eye as well, then went silent!
…
“The Ten Honored have also been reborn.”
Changsun Bumie continued, speaking to Jiang Li and the others on one side.
Yang Daomei and Jiang Yunsheng walked over, their faces both incredibly solemn.
“Greetings to the three Supremes!”
They directly performed an elaborate bow, extremely excited.
Even though in this life their cultivation levels were incredibly high, and the Ten Honored’s reincarnations were just starting out, they still regarded the Ten Honored with full respect and did not dare to show any disrespect!
Jiang Li nodded and said,
“There’s no need for such formalities.”
Only then did the two rise to their feet, their eyes filled with a mixture of surprise and emotion, as they said,
“The three Supremes have actually reincarnated… This means that the one at The End of Myriad Paths must have succeeded!”
They spoke.
Hearing this, Jiang Li asked in confusion,
“What do you mean by that?”
Jiang Yunsheng said,
“Reporting to the Chess Honored, the World Sacrifice Ritual that we held back then was not as peculiar as people are saying.”
“In fact, after we completed the World Sacrifice… we entered the Path-Scenic Land at The End of Myriad Paths.”
“Therefore, we saw some ultimate truths.”
Hearing this, Jiang Li and the others were all shocked.
The Path-Scenic Land at The End of Myriad Paths?
“My goodness… so that’s how it is… This isn’t something peculiar, it’s a huge opportunity!”
Changsun Bumie and the others were somewhat bewildered.
The Path-Scenic Land at The End of Myriad Paths, that proclaimed Supreme place, holding countless opportunities? Unimaginable.
If those Ultimate Beings in the Sacrificial Temple like Ji Wulu knew about this, perhaps they would not hesitate to conduct the World Sacrifice Ritual, right?
“At that time, the one at The End of Myriad Paths had blocked all disasters from the Ancestral Realm. She stepped onto that legendary ancient path, fought a life-and-death battle, and reached the edge of the Forbidden Realms.”
Jiang Yunsheng continued,
“Before entering the Forbidden Realms, she seemed to have discovered some major secret, hesitated for a long time, comprehended the Nine Laws, and spread them throughout the True Ancestor World.”
“Moreover, she left behind a Path-Scenic Land, linking the True Ancestor World with that Forbidden Realm. As long as the True Ancestor World conducts the World Sacrifice Ritual, ascending on the path, it seems capable of triggering some unimaginable change…”
After saying this, Jiang Li and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
The End of Myriad Paths… they had gone further than they had in the past.
One must traverse the Grey Mist Sea to see that legendary ancient path, and that path connects to a certain Forbidden Realm?
She comprehended the Dao before the Forbidden Realms and also passed down the Nine Laws. Then she connected the Forbidden Realm with The End of Myriad Paths using the Path-Scenic Land…
What exactly was she plotting?
What exactly was she opposing?
From this point of view, the reason she left behind the Nine Laws in the True Ancestor World, her ultimate purpose, seems likely… related to that Forbidden Realm?
The grand scheme from ancient times, shrouded in mysteries to this day, known to no one!
“After that, she entered that Forbidden Realm. Although we’re unaware of the aftermath, the fact that the Supremes were able to reincarnate suggests that whatever she aimed to do, she likely succeeded!”
Jiang Yunsheng spoke.
“So that’s how it is…”
Jiang Li pondered.
“May I ask Chess Honored,” he dared to ask, “has The End of Myriad Paths really returned?”
At this moment, Yang Daomei started speaking with an extremely nervous tone.
This answer… was of utmost importance to them.
Jiang Li nodded and said,
“She… has returned.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Daomei and Jiang Yunsheng were overjoyed.
“Fantastic… That’s fantastic!”
Jiang Yunsheng, incredibly excited, said,
“In this lifetime… with her presence, the True Ancestor World has nothing to fear!”
Yang Daomei too was incredibly stirred.
Seeing the two men’s joyous expressions, Jiang Li did not tell them that The End of Myriad Paths… had also perished, merely reincarnated.
“Right!”
Yang Daomei suddenly spoke up and then continued,
“When the two of us performed the World Sacrifice, we failed to succeed but managed to create a connection to the other side of the channel. It seemed like someone was interfering, attempting to destroy the channel she left on that side… We must go to the Grey Mist Sea to protect that place!”
Jiang Yunsheng also nodded and said,
“Indeed, this is true. As of now, the True Ancestor World has not yet ascended en masse, which shows that her grand plan is still in preparation. We absolutely cannot allow the channel on the other side to be damaged!”
Although the two of them were able to enter the Path-Scenic Land of The End of Myriad Paths by means of the World Sacrifice Ritual, the channel between worlds was not truly activated, so they could not directly reach the other side through it.
They must instead enter the Grey Mist Sea from reality and find the location of the channel there.
Jiang Li said,
“The Heavenly Abyss as of now cannot yet allow Ultimate Beings to traverse…”
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a voice suddenly sounded!
“Powerful beings descend, vanquishing all, powerful beings descend, vanquishing all!”
— It was Qi Fenglin!
While Jiang Li and the others were conversing, he discovered that he could actually make contact with the other side of the Grey Mist Sea.
So, he did not hesitate to activate the True Bone in his hand!
In an instant, from within the True Bone, grey light spilled forth, transforming into a world both illusory and real.
“Heavenly Firmament Hegemon, Earth Fiend Hegemon… this bodes ill, The End of Myriad Paths might still be alive, the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones reincarnated anew; please lend your aid quickly!”
He whispered, intending to send the news from this world through the Path-Scenic Land!
He heralded from the Origin Chess Sect of the Grey Mist Sea. The True Bone he had brought this time belonged to the Heavenly Firmament Hegemon and Earth Fiend Hegemon of the Origin Chess Sect!
…
At this moment, on the other side of the Heavenly Abyss.
In a grey, hazy world, numerous crimson eyes watched and waited.
Armies from various races had even gathered already.
“Has The End of Myriad Paths’ contingency been broken?”
“As soon as her contingency falls, we can invade en masse!”
“To completely exterminate this realm!”
Many powerful beings were whispering among themselves.
Suddenly.
Boom!
A grey path roared to life as a terrifying Path-Scenic Land materialized, enveloping a part of the Sky Domain.
“It’s coming from the direction of the Origin Qi Sect… Such a disturbance, could it be that a hegemonic figure has manifested their Path-Scenic Land?”
“The Heavenly Firmament Hegemon and Earth Fiend Hegemon… their True Bones were brought by Qi Fenglin. Now that they have manifested, it must be because there is news from that side!”
“What on earth could have happened?!”
Everyone in the Grey Mist Sea paid great attention.
Simultaneously.
Inside a grey, star-like forest in the Grey Mist Sea, numerous buildings stood tall among the peaks.
Atop the tallest peak rested a grey Dao Palace.
Inside the Dao Palace, two powerful beings were soaked within a grey Source Pool.
At this moment, both beings suddenly opened their eyes!
Turns out they were the two great Chess Dao Hegemons of the Origin Chess Sect, the Heavenly Firmament Hegemon and Earth Fiend Hegemon.
“The Path-Scenic Land has been activated!”
The Heavenly Firmament Hegemon whispered softly, ready to receive the message from within the Path-Scenic Land.
But just then, both of them saw a brief flicker before their eyes.
“Hm? Why do I feel like a black shadow just flashed by?”
The Earth Fiend Hegemon whispered.
“Impossible… It must be just a trick of the light; our vital energies haven’t fully recovered yet.”
The Heavenly Firmament Hegemon shook his head, not taking it to heart.
…
Meanwhile.
Within the Path-Scenic Land of the Heavenly Firmament Hegemon.
Suddenly there appeared a Big Black Dog!
