Eternal Sacred King Chapter 2568 Six in a Row

Chapter 2568 Six in a Row

Unconvinced, Jun Yu waved her robes and scattered another hundred-odd pieces on the Astral Chessboard, setting the second Ling Long Zugzw.a.n.g.

All these years, she had been focused on resolving the Ling Long Zugzw.a.n.gs. Therefore, she had long memorized all nine Ling Long Zugzw.a.n.gs.

Su Zimo had just resolved one Ling Long Zugzw.a.n.g and was in high spirits.

When he saw Jun Yu set up the second set, he did not hesitate and observed the chessboard immediately.

For the second Ling Long Zugzw.a.n.g, although the situation of the black chess pieces was completely different from the previous game, it was still a hopeless situation!

First, Su Zimo tried to resolve it himself. Two hours later, although he had some clues, he was still unsure and did not make a move for a long time.

He closed his eyes once more and imagined himself as a black piece in the Ling Long Zugzw.a.n.g—how was he going to break free from such a group attack?

The black-robed woman's figure appeared in his mind once more.

Su Zimo looked at the black-robed woman's footsteps and verified it against the Ling Long Zugzw.a.n.g continuously!

A moment later, Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat and he finally placed his piece.

Piak!

The black chess piece landed steadily on a spot on the Astral Chessboard.

Jun Yu raised her brow slightly.

That move was the key to resolving the second Ling Long Zugzw.a.n.g!

Without batting an eyelid, Jun Yu placed a white chess piece and played against Su Zimo.

The second Ling Long Zugzw.a.n.g was much more complicated than the first.

Although he had taken the first move, he was not out of the dead end yet. During this period of time, there were still many traps and countless tribulations awaiting Su Zimo.

Before long, Su Zimo made his second move!

This time round, Jun Yu's heart skipped a beat as she looked at Su Zimo deeply.

If Su Zimo's first time was an accident and his second time was a coincidence, there was no way this third time could be one of those as well!

"Fellow Daoist Su, you were just pretending earlier on, right?"

Jun Yu asked with a fake smile.

At that moment, Su Zimo's mind was completely immersed in the Ling Long Zugzw.a.n.g. He verified it against the black-robed woman's footwork and comprehended the Dharmic Dao of the zugzw.a.n.g, ignoring Jun Yu's words.

The two of them continued to play for dozens of rounds with Jun Yu taking the white side and she gradually gained the upper hand.

However, Jun Yu knew in her heart that in reality, Su Zimo had already resolved the second Ling Long Zugzw.a.n.g with two amazing moves he made in succession!

Back then, it took her an entire seven days to resolve the second Ling Long Zugzw.a.n.g!

Without another word, Jun Yu scattered the black and white chess pieces once more and set up the third Ling Long Zugzw.a.n.g.

Taking a deep breath of air, Su Zimo immersed himself in it once more.

…

Yun Zhu and Mo Qing stood guard outside. In the blink of an eye, an entire day and night had pa.s.sed.

Yun Zhu squatted on the stone step and held an ancient book in both hands, as though she was focused on reading.

However, in reality, the ancient book she opened had been on the same page for a few hours.

Yun Zhu carried many books in her storage bag.

Initially, she intended to read casually here. After all, three days was fleeting.

However, it did not take long for her to give up on reading.

It was not because the book was bad, but because her mind was not calm.

Although her gaze was fixed on the words in the ancient book, her mind was long already on the room and her imagination was running wild.

Realizing her state, Yun Zhu sighed gently and put away the ancient book in her hands, looking not far away.

On the other side, a woman stood quietly. She was gentle and elegant, holding a brush and drawing the flowers, trees, rocks and water in the courtyard on a piece of paper.

The woman fused with the mountains and rivers in the courtyard.

Her existence was like the most beautiful painting in the world!

Yun Zhu smiled gently.

For this innocent Sister Mo Qing, it would not be a problem for her to draw here for another three or 30 years, let alone three days and nights.

Yun Zhu stood up and came to Mo Qing's side, waving gently.

"Sister Yun Zhu, what's wrong?"

Mo Qing turned and asked.

Yun Zhu pointed in the direction of Jun Yu's room. "The two of them went in for so long and haven't come out for an entire day and night. There's no activity either."

"Yes."

Mo Qing nodded. "Indeed, it's a little strange."

Yun Zhu said mysteriously, "Do you want to go in and take a look to see what the two of them are doing?"

"Will that be a little abrupt?"

Mo Qing frowned slightly with a hesitant expression.

"Nothing much."

Yun Zhu said, "We're just here to pay a visit. It's not like we're going to barge in directly."

"Al… right."

Mo Qing nodded in agreement.

Yun Zhu and Mo Qing arrived at Jun Yu's room. Yun Zhu went forward and said loudly, "I'm Yun Zhu. Fellow Daoist Jun Yu, I'm here with Mo Qing to pay you a visit. Please open the door."

After a while, there was no response from the room.

Yun Zhu said in a low voice, "There's a seal in this room that blocks spirit consciousness and sound. I'll head up and try knocking."

As she said that, Yun Zhu walked forward and knocked on the door gently.

After knocking a few times, a gap appeared in the door!

The door was unlocked.

Yun Zhu pushed the door open softly and saw Su Zimo and Jun Yu kneeling opposite one another on cus.h.i.+ons in the room with a game of chess in between them.

The two of them were playing chess intensely.

Yun Zhu's mouth was slightly agape and she was dumbfounded.

She had thought of countless images but this scene before her was the only one she did not expect.

Mo Qing was surprised as well when she saw that.

"Come in, both of you. Close the door."

Jun Yu's voice sounded.

Yun Zhu and Mo Qing entered the room and turned to close the door.

Su Zimo seemed to be immersed in the chess game and did not even notice Yun Zhu and Mo Qing's arrival.

"The two of you played chess for an entire day and night?"

Yun Zhu asked in disbelief.

"Yes."

Jun Yu nodded and looked at Su Zimo with a conflicted expression.

In just a day and night, this beginner in chess had resolved six Ling Long Zugzw.a.n.gs in succession!

This was completely beyond her imagination!

Back then, she took a day to resolve the first Ling Long Zugzw.a.n.g.

It took her seven days to resolve the second.

The third took her an entire month.

By the time she resolved the sixth zugzw.a.n.g, it was a full hundred years!

In that hundred years, she did not cultivate at all and spent all her time and energy on resolving the Ling Long Zugzw.a.n.gs.

That torment was still fresh in her memories.

She had spent more than a hundred years to resolve the first six Ling Long Zugzw.a.n.gs. However, this disciple of the academy before her only took a day and night!

Right now, Su Zimo was already attempting to resolve the seventh Ling Long Zugzw.a.n.g.

Back then, it took her even more time to resolve the seventh Ling Long Zugzw.a.n.g—almost 500 years!

Jun Yu did not dare to guess how much time Su Zimo would take to resolve the seventh Ling Long Zugzw.a.n.g.

However, at that moment, she finally understood why Fairy Ling Long wanted the two of them to communicate.

This beginner in chess was indeed qualified to interact with her!

In reality, the reason why Fairy Ling Long could make that judgment was because Lin Luo had told her that Su Zimo seemed to have released the Nine Palace Subtle Steps by accident.

Fairy Ling Long was extremely surprised by that.

She guessed that Su Zimo might have come into contact with the Nine Palace Subtle Steps but he had not truly mastered it.

That was the reason why Fairy Ling Long hid the Dharmic Dao of the Nine Palace Subtle Steps in the nine Ling Long Zugzw.a.n.gs. She wanted to make use of them to impart the Dharmic Dao through chess in return for Desolate Martial saving Lin Lei and his sister.
