After becoming a Hongng Alchemy Master, he finally fully understood this statent.
Just as Xu Feng was preparing to return and make an all-out effort to advance his Artifact Refining to the Hongng Realm, a voice erged beside his ear.
"Young friend, since you’ve co to my Array Formation District to advance, it’s only proper that we et face to face afterward. Otherwise, it would make feel quite neglected," the voice said.
A Space Gate opened, and Xiao Hua’s voice echoed in Xu Feng’s mind.
"Master, the person speaking is the Great Elder of the Array Formation District, an Eighth Realm powerhouse, a top Hongng Array Master."
Hearing Xiao Hua’s words, Xu Feng stepped into the Space Gate.
An elder with a slender figure was sitting in a pavilion outfitted with a chessboard.
"I pay my respects to Elder. Prior to my advancing to the Hongng Realm, I did not co to visit, which was an oversight of conduct on my part," Xu Feng said, expressing his attitude first.
"There’s no need to apologize. The way of Array Formation, in many cases, is a tool; when needed you use it, otherwise, you set it aside," the elder said indifferently, gesturing for Xu Feng to sit down.
Xu Feng sat across the chessboard and glanced at it curiously.
"This is Wan Dao Daluo Chess, a pasti favored by Eighth and Ninth Realm powerhouses during their leisure ti."
"Would you like to give it a try? This ga is most fitting for the way of Array Formation," the Great Elder invited.
"Then, Elder, please explain the rules first~"
"Very well. This ga involves the mobilization of Wan Dao, and each square of the chessboard represents a small world."
"Once a chess piece lands on a small world, it begins to evolve, and ultimately, the balance of Yin and Yang erges."
"You and I will hold the Yin and Yang; when every cell on this chessboard has fully transford, whoever possesses more worlds will triumph."
Upon hearing the rules, Xu Feng’s eyes reflected myriad Dao changes, as if opening up a new heaven and earth.
"Worthy of being called Wan Dao Daluo Chess, even with my calculating ability, I’m unable to foresee its entirety."
"If it could be completely predicted, what would be the fun in that?"
"Co, if you beat , I’ll grant you so authority within the Array Formation District," the elder said with a chuckle.
"Elder, don’t make jokes. How could I possibly win this ga against you?"
"I’ll give you 10 chances to try."
"The main formation of Hongng Dao Palace contains a Battle Formation Dharma Form with the strength of the Ninth Realm’s peak."
"If you can win a round against , I’ll grant you partial authority, including the ability to invoke a Battle Formation Dharma Form with the power of the Ninth Realm’s peak in critical monts."
The Great Elder of the Array Formation District looked at Xu Feng with a smiling face.
Xu Feng knew that each district had its special privileges; for example, as a Hongng Alchemist in the Alchemy Area, in addition to discounts when purchasing alchemy materials, he also had the privileges to buy Primordial Divine Objects and was eligible to use the Alchemy Area’s Primordial Treasure for alchemy.
Upon hearing that the Battle Formation Dharma Form of the Ninth Realm could be invoked, Xu Feng’s eyes beca extrely serious.
"Elder, if I win a round, will you truly grant the authority?"
"Of course. Well then, I’ll make it easier for you; if you can draw three rounds against , you win as well," the Elder said.
The Great Elder of the Array Formation District slightly lifted his hand, and the whole chessboard slowly unfolded.
The space around both parties began to change as well.
A chessboard condensed from 9999 small worlds appeared in the center of both parties.
Except for the central small world, which was Chaos, the other worlds were interwoven with Yin and Yang, creating a perfect balance.
Xu Feng held Yin, and the Great Elder of the Array Formation District held Yang.
"This first round doesn’t count; it’s just to get you familiar with the rules."
The Great Elder held up a disc of blazing sun, transforming it into the Fire Dao, and placed it not far from the central small world of Chaos on one of the chess squares.
A small world evolved as if all things were reviving, spreading outwards and illuminating the surrounding 26 small worlds, faintly showing signs of integration.
"Elder, although this is just for familiarization, there’s no need for you to go easy on ."
In Xu Feng’s hand, a nebula erged, within which the transition of sun and moon could be barely discerned.
He directly placed it close to the world where the Great Elder had previously placed his chess piece.
The nebula instantaneously transford into a vast sea of stars, within which the sun and moon began their cycle.
But, due to the presence of a Red Sun World not far away, the evolving micro-worlds began to connect.
The sun and moon transford by Xu Feng’s micro-world carried with them the Dao of Yin Yang, rging with that Red Sun Small World.
The Red Sun Small World also gained the cycling sun and moon, but the existence of the sea of stars ant that both worlds were shifting towards the Yin aspect.
Seeing this scene, the Array Formation District Elder revealed a smile.
"You’re grasping things faster than I imagined; I won’t hold back anymore."
Subsequently, the Great Elder went all out, pressing down on the world chess pieces arranged by Xu Feng unrelentingly.
When all the chessboard worlds were filled, to one’s surprise, eighty percent were Yang worlds.
"Elder, I’ve lost."
"It would be abnormal if you won~"
"The first chess ga has co to an end, I’m sure you’ve had many realizations. Find for the first ga within a thousand years."
"Finish the ten chess gas within ten thousand years."
After saying this, the Array Formation District Great Elder started to see his guest out with a cup of tea.
Xu Feng stood up, took his leave, and returned.
Within the territory of the Star, Xu Feng watched the Wan Dao Daluo chessboard as he entered a state of sudden enlightennt.
"It’s no wonder those top-tier powerhouses like to play this chess ga, filled with infinite mysteries, incalculable Dao, and the unending evolution of the heavenly and earthly rules."
After finishing a ga of Wan Dao Daluo chess with the First Elder of the Array Formation District, Xu Feng also fell in love with this kind of chess ga.
"Spiritual Enlightennt, could you play a ga with ?" Xu Feng suddenly asked with a moved expression.
"Simple, difficult, hell, please choose the mode," a calm voice sounded.
"What would be the mode similar to that of the Array Formation District Great Elder’s level?"
"Endless Abyss, the top level," Spiritual Enlightennt said.
"I see, let’s try the difficult mode first," Xu Feng pondered and spoke.
In a flash, the chessboard before Xu Feng changed, turning into 9999 micro-worlds.
A virtual figure appeared across, looking at Xu Feng with an expression neither sad nor happy, exuding the deanor of a master.
"I am Yin, and you are Yang, ten gas in total," Xu Feng said.
"Alright~"
At the sa ti, the territory of the Star where Xu Feng was located began to accelerate ti.
After 9000 years in the chessboard world, Xu Feng looked at the virtual figure across with tired eyes.
"This difficult mode seems to have exceeded expectations," Xu Feng said with a hint of doubt as he looked at the scene before him, where the Yin Yang worlds were blending and mixing.
"Difficult mode, also known as self-adaptive difficult mode, will automatically adjust according to your play,"
"You currently have three wins and six losses; this is the last move, please play your chess piece."
"The Dao is Chaos, with no set outco."
"It seems that in this chessboard, using set patterns won’t work."
After sighing, Xu Feng placed a piece, and the chessboard world instantaneously changed, with only half of the worlds transforming into pure Yang.
The central Chaos chess piece world, at the center of the chessboard, now changed to be half Yin and half Yang.
"Tie ga, would you like to point out the errors in these ten gas?" Spiritual Enlightennt asked.
"Of course, it’s related to authority," Xu Feng quickly replied.
"Alright~"
"Replaying the first ga now."
Within the chessboard world, another thousand years passed before Xu Feng slowly opened his eyes.
