Chapter 1156 - 243 Space Origin Fourth Layer

Chapter 1156: Chapter 243 Space Origin Fourth Layer

Chess Tao, the world as the chessboard, sun, moon, and stars as the pieces.

The vast, extending space can encompass all things under heaven.

What is space?

Seemingly void yet not void, seemingly existent yet not existent, seemingly absent yet not absent.

All is void, all is not void.

Li Hao suddenly experienced an epiphany like a splash of enlightenment, and his mind buzzed.

His Tenth Stage experience in Chess Tao had already reached the Sacrificial Dao, yet he still couldn’t defeat Elder Wang. When the opponent got serious, his chess strategy was unfathomable, often turning decay into wonders, the divine hand reversing the game. It seemed as though in the opponent’s eyes, he could always see positions Li Hao couldn’t, gaps Li Hao was blind to.

At this moment, Li Hao felt a sudden clarity.

The space he could see differed from the one his opponent could perceive, and that was the reason for his defeat.

“Elder Wang, how about a game?”

Li Hao invited.

Elder Wang was taken aback, gave a slight, bitter smile, and just as he was about to say a few words of persuasion, he noticed the solemn expression on Li Hao’s face, simply staring at the chessboard, an unprecedented radiance in his eyes. The words he had about to utter disappeared back into his stomach.

Then, he slightly nodded and said, “I will take this game seriously.”

Having said that, he and Li Hao simultaneously picked up the pieces to choose the black and white first moves.

Afterward, Li Hao immersed himself completely in placing the pieces strategically.

“Hmm?”

Seeing Li Hao’s placement, Elder Wang’s expression changed instantly, revealing a hint of surprise.

This placement was tricky, leaving himself plenty of room to maneuver, far more flexible than before. Could this kid really have improved so much in chess ability in such a short time?

Moreover, it seemed as if he had just comprehended something… Yet, they had only been discussing cultivation.

Elder Wang felt a slight mute surprise in his heart; to draw analogies from cultivation to comprehend Chess Tao? How much love must it take to make such associations?

He suddenly felt a bit apologetic, not knowing whether his pushing of Li Hao was correct, but thinking of that True Realm and the endless benefits brought by being a formal disciple, he dispelled these distracting thoughts from his mind.

“Elder Wang, it’s your move.”

Li Hao said.

Elder Wang came back to his senses, glanced at Li Hao’s move, and then placed his piece.

Yet after placing the piece, he suddenly made a light exclamation, his face subtly changed.

He realized that the move Li Hao had just placed wasn’t as simple as it appeared, hiding an extremely profound path.

And Li Hao, seeing Elder Wang’s move, immediately had eyes that lit up, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile as he quickly placed another piece.

Elder Wang’s face changed as well; a single misstep, and Li Hao had seized an advantage.

But he didn’t just resign and concede; he quickly adjusted, knowing from previous experience battling Li Hao, if he focused now, there was still a chance to win.

However, as he maneuvered, Li Hao pressed closer step by step, using the spaces between his dark chess placements to seal all his paths.

On the chessboard, just two serpentine dragon-shaped lines of chess determined the victory or defeat.

Elder Wang felt his throat dry, staring at the chessboard, his face a changing mask, all of his placements precisely countered by Li Hao, killed in the cradle, making him realize the overall situation was lost.

One wrong step, and the whole game was lost!

“You won.”

Elder Wang withdrew his fingers from the chess piece, his expression complex, speaking to Li Hao.

His gaze lingered on the chessboard, as if still searching for a chance to win, but eventually, he slowly raised his head, looking at the young man before him.

His expression seemed not to know whether to be relieved or regretful, yet it carried an inner admiration and appreciation.

As Elder Wang admitted defeat, Li Hao saw an enormous amount of chess experience leap before him, in the tens of millions.

At the same time, his Chess Tao broke through the Tenth Stage.

[Congratulations, you have comprehended the Original True Heart of Chess Tao.]

Chess Tao advanced to the Eleventh Stage!

With the advancement of Chess Tao, Li Hao’s mind suddenly rang like a bell toll.

Immediately, countless vast Dao Thoughts fell like snowflakes and poured into his mind.

His spirit seemed to come to a swirling world, where the grand sound of heaven and earth whispered around, ethereal figures like Immortal Divine danced mirages and practiced true methods.

He felt a hazy sense of spaces around breaking and reassembling, seeing himself shrink to infinity, and seeing a magnificent Divine Dynasty within a tiny grain of sand, with countless inhabitants living within.

Chess Tao contains the Original Dao of Space.

Li Hao had an epiphany.

When this inheritance dissipated like an illusion, Li Hao saw the chessboard and Elder Wang’s figure again before him.

Simultaneously, Li Hao noticed a new attribute appearing on the panel before him.

[Chess Tao: Eleventh Stage (Space Origin Third Layer)]

[State of Mind: Original True Heart (1)]

Through the Ten Thousand Dao Record, Li Hao knew all Original Dao had Tenth Realms.

But to comprehend the highest Tenth Realm, only an Immortal Emperor could grasp it.

The Void Saint, Void Ancestor, and others he had encountered previously, with space as the Saint Path, were only at the introductory level of the Space Origin, not even reaching the First Layer of Space Origin.

Reaching the First Layer of Space Origin, one could use the Original True Heart of Space to refine an Immortal Seal and become a True Immortal!

But the Third Layer of Origin Realm was something even some Immortal Lords hadn’t reached, a rarity even in the True Immortal Realm.

Comprehending the Space Origin through Chess Tao, Li Hao felt a bit delighted, and faintly sensed that all the Artistic Skill attributes his panel could record seemed to have hidden meanings.

“I still need to comprehend the Time Origin.”

Li Hao’s eyes flickered.

His gaze, however, swept over the other Artistic Skills on the panel.

Fishing, Carving, Artistic Path, Cooking, Musical Rhythm, Poetry and Books.

“Cooking… might let me comprehend the Fire Dao Origin…”

Li Hao’s eyes flickered slightly. He had already mastered the Chaos Divine Fire through the Tenth Stage of Cooking Dao, able to roast the Ancient Demon’s body into a delicacy. If he advanced further in Chaos Divine Fire, it would be the Fire Dao Origin.
