Chapter 166: Chapter 150: Reincarnated? The Protagonist?

1

At this moment,

outside the Heavenly Realm,

a Void Sea Battleship was steadily approaching this sea domain.

This battle ship was enormous, and atop its deck stood a silver-haired elder and a young man, engaged in a game of chess!

The elder furrowed his brows tightly, unable to make his move for a long time.

The youth, on the other hand, had a hint of disdain and scorn in his eyes.

“This is the only way.”

After much thought, the elder finally placed his piece!

“Utterly foolish, you’ve lost.”

With an icy statement, the young man casually dropped a piece, causing the elder’s expression to stiffen instantly.

His path in the game had been completely blocked.

Without the slightest chance for survival!

The elder then stood up, bowed to the young man, and said,

“The Saint Heir’s skills in chess are too profound, this old one is no match!”

Sentiments filled his aged eyes!

As expected of the “Son of Two Lives,” with astonishing talent and unmatched skill in chess!

Even though he was a Great Elder of the Chess Immortal Sect and could be called a Chess Saint within his Sect Gate, he was no more than an ant compared to this young man!

They hail from the Dingning Realm, from the Chess Immortal Sect!

The Dingning Realm is a major world within the Earth Character Realm; the Chess Immortal Sect is a top sect within that world and had a significant standing even in the Immortal Domain!

The young man before them was the current Saint Heir of the Chess Immortal Sect, Chen Xuanbei!

Chen Xuanbei was originally just a menial disciple of the Chess Immortal Sect, but last year, he suddenly awakened.

It turned out that he was a “Person of Two Lives”!

A “Person of Two Lives” refers to a reborn individual!

Those who are reborn usually possessed great strength in their past lives, and with rebirth, they gain even greater advantages, bound for meteoric ascent!

When Chen Xuanbei awakened the memories of his past life, the Chess Immortal Sect did not hesitate to depose the former Saint Heir and consecrated Chen Xuanbei in that role.

Chen Xuanbei did not disappoint their expectations; at his young age, he demonstrated astonishing skill in chess, unbeatable within the Chess Immortal Sect!

And he, to temper himself, even proposed wandering the Myriad Realms in search of opponents!

The Chess Immortal Sect immediately dispatched the Great Elder Zhou Wenyuan to escort him along the way.

“Jiang Li, you useless thing, hurry up and serve the Saint Heir some Spiritual Tea!”

Great Elder Zhou Wenyuan sighed and then scolded a younger man who was wiping the floor nearby.

The Chess Immortal Sect treated Chen Xuanbei like a deity, which meant that every time after a chess game, they needed to prepare Spiritual Tea to rejuvenate him.

The young man wiping the floor was clad in thin and torn clothes; upon hearing the instruction, he quickly got up to pour tea.

He was the former Saint Heir of the Chess Immortal Sect, Jiang Li.

Ever since the reborn Chen Xuanbei awakened, he was demoted to Chen Xuanbei’s servant!

After a while, Jiang Li came over with the tea, head bowed, eyes full of humiliation.

But he said nothing.

If one’s skills are lacking in this world, that is the original sin!

“Forget it, the tea poured by your filthy hands is only good enough to feed to pigs.”

“Be gone.”

Chen Xuanbei spoke coldly.

Jiang Li’s hands trembled slightly, but he still turned and left.

“Remember the words of the Saint Heir, if I tell you to feed it to the pig, dare you spill it secretly, and I’ll chop off your hands!”

Great Elder Zhou Wenyuan spoke even more severely!

This ship indeed harbored a pig.

It was Chen Xuanbei’s Spirit-Sensing Pig, capable of locating specific treasures.

“Yes.”

Jiang Li spoke and, after finishing, he turned and left.

“Saint Heir, truly, none in the Million Lower Realms can stand as your opponent anymore. You should set your sights on the Immortal Domain!”

Zhou Wenyuan looked towards Chen Xuanbei and respectfully advised.

“Do you think you’re qualified to question my decision?”

Chen Xuanbei, however, scoffed.

Zhou Wenyuan immediately fell silent, not daring to say more.

He knew that one must never treat a reborn individual as an ordinary person; they were powerful entities in their previous lives, not to be trifled with, and quite possibly, even the Chess Immortal Sect could not afford to provoke them.

Meanwhile, Chen Xuanbei gazed towards the world ahead, murmuring,

“It’s been a year since I escaped the Black White Realm… I hope to find the Boundless Chessboard soon…”

He had never revealed his origins to the outside world.

Black White Realm!

Only he knew that it was a place of terror, linked to a legendary Immortal King, and he was even more aware that to enter it, one must find an artifact left behind by that Immortal King…

The Boundless Chessboard!

The Boundless Chessboard had been lost in the Lower World…

His proposal to traverse the Myriad Realms and challenge others was a mere disguise; his real purpose was to find that chessboard.

“In my last life, I had ascended to immortality, only to fall in the Black White Realm,”

“In this life, as Chen Xuanbei reborn, it signifies that I am destined to be the Master of Heaven and Earth!”

“Throughout history, every reborn individual has been the protagonist!”

Murmuring to himself, as a reborn person, everything from the Black White Realm was a gift prepared by the heavens for him as the protagonist.

“Half a month ago, there was an incredible emanation of chess intent in this Void Sea Domain, seemingly surpassing immortality, even alarming the Immortal Domain… The Boundless Chessboard should be here…”

He pondered.

As someone who had escaped from the Black and White Realm, he was very sensitive to the path of chess.

Half a month ago, in the Lower World, Zhan Li, a fallen genius of the First Heavenly Realm, had become an entity of will, climbed to the Immortal Domain, slaughtered the Holy Golden Immortal Monarch, and caused a sensation across heaven and earth.

People did not know the reason, but on that day, he had felt a supreme chess path that shook the Myriad Realms!

He was excited, for since ancient times, only one person had possessed that kind of chess path!

A legendary figure among the Immortal Kings, the King of Black and White….

Since the King of Black and White had fallen for several hundred thousand years, that aura must undoubtedly be from his relic, the Boundless Chessboard!

It was precisely this thought that drove him to rush to this part of the Void Sea Domain.

As he saw himself gradually approaching the world ahead, Chen Xuanbei immediately said:

“Have that pig keeper bring out this Young Master’s Spirit-Sensing Pig!”

The Spirit-Sensing Pig, which he had also brought out from the Black and White Realm, was extremely sensitive to the aura left by the King of Black and White, and he intended to investigate this realm!

Jiang Li, carrying the cup of tea, walked woodenly into a cabin.

Inside the cabin, another youth was tucking in a black piglet lying on the bed with a blanket!

“Damn it, pigs are treated better than humans… truly, pigs are treated better than humans!”

The youth grumbled as he covered the pig with a blanket and then fanned a couple of slaps towards its ears.

The pig simply looked at him coldly, its gaze somewhat eerie.

“Wu Dade… this is for the pig to drink…”

Jiang Li stood outside the cabin, handing over the cup of tea.

Wu Dade, who was caring for the pig, took the tea and became even more indignant:

“This is Spiritual Tea, and it’s being wasted on feeding a pig!”

He was an outer sect beast tamer of the Chess Immortal Sect, a position that was lowly, but he had a certain natural talent for taming, and therefore Chen Xuanbei took him along to care for his Spirit-Sensing Pig.

“Hey, don’t get mad, just feed it.”

Jiang Li spoke.

“Jiang Li, I mean you were once a Saint Heir, how come you’ve ended up like this? Letting people step all over you!”

“Don’t you have any fire in you?”

As Wu Dade held the tea, feeding it to the pitch-black piglet, he turned to Jiang Li and said:

But Jiang Li just sighed and said:

“Chen Xuanbei is a being of two lifetimes, with astounding chess skills. Looking across the Million Lower Realms, I fear no one can match him… I, I can only be stepped on by him….”

In his eyes, there was unwillingness, desire, but more so despair.

The other’s chess skills were too lofty, so high that he would spend his lifetime unable to even look up to them!

“That guy has talent but no virtue, he won’t last long. Haven’t you seen? Ever since he became the Saint Heir, he has played around with every slightly attractive female disciple in our sect….”

Wu Dade said somewhat painfully:

“Including my goddess, who I’ve never even spoken a word to!”

Suddenly, he turned around, grabbed Jiang Li’s hand, and said:

“You’ve got to try your hardest, Jiang Li. You’re a good person, I can’t be wrong about that. Heaven will take care of you, and then you can take a good swing at them for me!”

“My life is over with just raising pigs and dogs, I can’t do anything else….”

Jiang Li’s expression was complex, but he said nothing.

Heaven’s favor?

Was there still a chance?

“The Saint Heir wants the Spirit-Sensing Pig, hurry up and bring it out!”

Right then, a disciple came to relay the message from the outside.

“Coming.”

Wu Dade immediately carried the black piglet and, along with Jiang Li, walked out.

Upon reaching the deck, Chen Xuanbei took the Spirit-Sensing Pig and gently placed his hand on the piglet’s forehead.

The black piglet immediately started sniffing voraciously, and due to its breath, fine ripples appeared in the Void Sea Domain!

The next moment, suddenly, the pig’s eyes bulged!

It made “thump, munch, thump, munch” noises towards that particular world in front, as if seeing some delicious pig food!

And in that instant, Chen Xuanbei’s pupils shrank, and his face broke out into an expression of great joy!

“Right there in front?! Excellent!”

He cried out:

“Dock at the world ahead, send the message notifying this realm… Chen Xuanbei has come to challenge!”

The Spirit-Sensing Pig’s behavior… signified that what he was looking for was indeed in this realm!

He clenched his fists in secret!

An opportunity had finally arrived?

My era as Chen Xuanbei is coming!

Chen Xuanbei was set to become the protagonist of this era!

His heart surged!

And the Great Elder himself stepped forward to send the message to this realm!

Within the barrier of the Heavenly Realm.

A few Heavenly Immortals responsible for observing the outside domain received the message unfolding outside, and their faces immediately turned pale.

They hastened towards Xuan Tianzhou!

To go and report!
