Chapter 170: The Small Mountain Village? A Perfect Game of Chess!_1

In the Heavenly Realm, there are existences far above you!

The words of Fire Spirit instantly brightened the eyes of the Yuanyang Holy Lord and others!

They all understood... this was the rhythm of seeking Senior Li’s intervention!

Suddenly, all their tension, worries, and such were swept away!

What rebirth? In front of Senior Li, they are definitely not enough to look at.

Chen Xuanbei then sneered and said:

“Oh?”

“Far above me? I would be very happy to grant him failure and death.”

Are there any enemies of mine in the Lower World?

Impossible!

Instead, he began to look forward to it, could it be that he would soon touch upon the clues of the Boundless Chessboard?

“That senior, he never makes a move, just wait here!”

Fire Spirit spoke.

“My patience is limited, three days, I will give you three days.”

Chen Xuanbei said indifferently.

Fire Spirit coldly said:

“If that senior were to make a move, why would he need three days...”

Having said that, she turned to look at Jiang Li and Wu Dade, and said:

“Follow me!”

Both of them followed her and Mu Qianning away, puzzled.

Before long, they left the chess platform and stepped into the grand hall.

“We need to see Senior Li, leave this place to you to stabilize.”

Fire Spirit looked at the Yuanyang Holy Lord.

The Yuanyang Holy Lord nodded but then turned to Jiang Li and Wu Dade and said:

“Are they going too?”

Fire Spirit nodded and said, “The two of them are more familiar with the situation of the Chess Immortal Sect, perhaps they could facilitate Senior Li’s inquiries.”

The Yuanyang Holy Lord nodded.

Afterward, Fire Spirit, Mu Qianning led Jiang Li, Wu Dade, and others, and quietly left the Taiyan Holy Land.

“Fire Alliance Hierarch, where are we going?”

Wu Dade asked with concern.

“To meet an invincible existence!”

Before long, they had already arrived at the outskirts of a small mountain village.

“Here, there is an invincible existence?”

Wu Dade was full of doubt!

This is just an ordinary small mountain village, right?!

However, when Jiang Li gazed at the small mountain village in front, he was suddenly shaken and said:

“No... Wu Dade, don’t talk nonsense!”

He stared closely at this small mountain village, his expression as if looking at a supreme Immortal Palace, a lofty hall!

“What’s the matter? I didn’t talk nonsense, this really is just an ordinary small mountain village, right?”

“Next, you can practice ‘vertical’!”

Li Fan lifted the brush, then he made a sweeping motion.

At this moment, all the disciples could feel as if a divine sword was being wielded!

Not the “Heaven Opening Sword’s” thousand-mile flow, nor the universe-splitting might but a terrifying sword intent that penetrated right to the soul, as if it could pierce through everything!

As if all the Myriad Realms and the Void Sea Domain could be split in two by that one vertical strike!

“Is this... the ultimate secret of Sword Dao... ‘Slice’?!”

Dugu Yuqing was shocked.

At that moment, his Broken Sword began to tremble as well, as if submitting to that terrifying sword intent...

Dugu Yuqing was silent for a long while, deeply comprehending that sword.

“Having learned the Heaven Opening Sword, one only just glimpses the entrance to the Sword Dao... The Sword Dao that Teacher commands is truly as profound as the ocean...”

He was full of emotion and began to practice immediately.

After teaching Dugu Yuqing calligraphy, Li Fan continued to teach Xinning poetry.

During the intervals of reading poetry, he would occasionally glance at Lu Rang, who was gardening on the side.

Among this group of disciples, it was Lu Rang who evoked the most complex feelings in Li Fan.

Because he was truly passionate about planting and nurturing!

Recently, Lu Rang had been caring for that pot of grass right down to his bones —watering, sunning, “Three Lives Soil”—he was meticulously nurturing it, even sleeping with the damn pot cradled in his arms!

Li Fan really wanted to say, this is just a pot of Pasture Grass, the kind you feed to pigs and cows, not some exquisite flower, come on!

But, he couldn’t be bothered to intercede anymore.

After all, as long as he liked it, and plus, that pot of grass was indeed growing better and better—with robust, sharp leaves, even Li Fan felt quite satisfied.

To other disciples, however, Lu Rang of the present seemed quite terrifying. “Brother Lu Rang is too monstrous, to be able to get that close to that pot of grass...”

“Each leaf of that grass could probably slash a Golden Immortal now... It’s mutating faster and faster; who knows what it will eventually become!”

Everyone looked on with complex expressions. Recently, during dinner, when Lu Rang put that pot of grass on the table, even Dugu Yuqing didn’t dare to compete with him for food anymore.

It was too scary!

“Who knows what kind of heaven-defying being this guy is going to nurture...”

Gong Ya watched Lu Rang every day with waves of tension.

And Xinning dutifully recited poetry:

“When hoeing weeds at noon, sweat drips down to the soil below.

Who knows that the food on our plate, every single grain, is hard-earned.”

Recently, when Xinning studied poetry, Gong Ya would also follow along, because she had realized that the poems Li Fan taught contained some sort of Dao that one could comprehend!

Seeing everything in the small courtyard operating smoothly, Li Fan was somewhat comforted and couldn’t help but pet Xiao Bai, who was lying on his lap.

Xiao Bai had been very clever lately, frolicking around, not looking like the cat that used to love sleeping all day.

Li Fan stroked the cat gently, and Bai Xiaoqing meowed a few times comfortably, rolling over.

Li Fan was content and idle, living his days in ease and leisure.

The only thing he occasionally thought about was taking on apprentices.

He still needed four more disciples to complete the System’s task!

It was a pity that it seemed there were few in the outside world with peculiar hobbies like Lu Rang and Long Zixuan...

“Qian Ning pays respects to Senior Li!”

At this moment, the voice of Mu Qianning came from outside!
