The outside world is clear, everything is ignored, high in the sky, in the sea of clouds that is undisturbed.
Ying Ming's chess game hadn't been finished yet, and there were two people standing next to him, reporting something.
The appearance of Zhao Ning caused their words to be interrupted and they turned to bow to Zhao Ning.
"It turns out it's Sect Leader Weng and Elder Lu."
Lu Ji nodded. They were both in the third tribulation of Yuan Shen, and there was no need for so much courtesy between them.
Ying Ming had a white stone in one hand and a black stone in the other. His mind was completely immersed in the chess game, and he didn't know if he had listened to their advice just now.
Zhao Ning sat across from him, looking at the end of the game. Waves and clouds were strange. Every move seemed to have an effect, but it was difficult to figure out. It could be discarded but not discarded.
After a moment of silence, Ying Ming, who was immersed in the situation, handed over the white stone in his other hand. Just when the white stone was about to fall, Zhao Ning held the stone and thought about it. There was no movement for a long time.
Ying Ming raised his eyes and looked at the two of them, "You go ahead."
The two of them looked at each other without saying a word, bowed their hands to Ying Ming, and then disappeared into the clouds.
Their departure did not make Zhao Ning pay too much attention, and more of his energy fell on the chessboard.
After a long time, Zhao Ning probably thought of a piece, so he made a move, and the chessboard seemed to open up a new area.
Ying Ming's eyes moved and then fell. With the new area and the new game, everything seemed to go smoothly.
The two of them also started talking, "Why is the Jing family looking for you?"
Zhao Ning said casually, "It's nothing more than inviting me to join their forces."
Ying Ming didn't pay much attention to this, he had expected it, but what he was more concerned about was, "What conditions did they give."
Zhao Ning stopped holding the hand and pointed towards the sky.
Ying Ming also paused, and Zhao Ning then smiled and said, "They want to hint to me that they have the power of the stars and are related to the universe, but they don't know that such power will completely expose them."
"But... they seem to know some secret." Zhao Ning said, "There is something in the time ruins that they are eager to get."
Ying Ming said, "In that case, let's wait until after the time ruins."
Zhao Ning responded, and she made a move. Between you and me, the newly opened chess game occupied the entire space. Therefore, it was connected with the previous endgame, like some strange trend. No matter what, All involved.
Zhao Ning was probably used to it.
Ying Ming said, "In a few days, the Shixu quota will be selected. They probably have other preparations."
It's the report made by the two of them just now.
Zhao Ning just said, "Then let nature take its course and watch Yanran's performance."
Ying Ming responded and made a move. Sure enough, the chess game was affected and reached a deadlock again. Every step was difficult.
I don’t know how long this chess game has been going on. It seems that every moment is a kind of game, and the vicissitudes of life are faintly wandering in this chess game.
The chess game ended in a draw, and no one benefited from the draw.
It was said to be a draw, but it was more like dying together.
Zhao Ning was disappointed.
Ying Ming pointed to the chess game, "Since one game of chess has reached a dead end, why not start a new one?"
Only then did Zhao Ning come back to her senses from the paradoxical chess game, "What is the chess game for?"
Ying Ming showed a smile and only glanced down.
Zhao Ning followed and stared down.
The competition for places in the Jiukongjia Market has begun. The entire Jiukongjia is extremely lively. The areas covered by sea water have been pushed away by the large formation, leaving only a blank space in the center. The only floating platform is hovering in the center. .
Almost all the people in Jiukong Temple gathered here. On the high platform, the patriarchs and elders of Jiukong Temple appeared. They did not sit down immediately, but the souls stood in the stands. Soon, under the sect leader Under the leadership of Ying Ming, he looked respectfully at the clouds above, then raised his hands in a salute, showing respect for Ying Ming.
Yan Ran didn't know why they did this, but after hearing about the sect's air ban, she vaguely guessed who was in the sky, and she became even more excited.
While they were thinking about it, the leader of the Nine Sky Temple had already issued an order for them to start competing.
Zhao Ning looked away, Ying Ming asked with a smile, "How is it?"
Zhao Ning replied, "Yes."
As a result, a new chess game was launched, with Jiuzhou Fire as the main chess game, to test the direction of the chess game, and to deduce the future of Fire.
Zhao Ning is in charge of chess, and Ying Ming is in charge of God's will.
Of course, the competition between the Yuanshen Lords is not a fight. If a fight is used as a competition, it will cause turmoil in the entire space, just like it did back then. This is something that no one in Jiukong Temple supports.
The Time Market Place Trial was presented in the form of an illusion. The illusion descended silently, and everyone sat cross-legged in it, with their consciousness included in it.
Onlookers can see the illusion they are experiencing.
The aura around the soul gathered together, and finally focused on the heights, showing the appearance of an illusion.
That was not an ordinary realm, but a simulation of Shixu. However, the illusion of Shixu was not complete, so they could do whatever they wanted in it.
At the beginning, everyone thought they had made a mistake. There were obviously traces of the formation, but in the end it was not the formation. There was not even the slightest trace. They only saw a starry sky.
At that time, the ruins were so empty that even the onlookers seemed to have lost the concept of time for a moment, only feeling the suffocation that was hard to hide in the deep environment.
However, Yanran was somewhat calm because of experiencing the ruins of the past. She walked through it as if she were walking on flat ground without any hesitation.
But Yanran felt something was wrong. This was why there were no other time and space nodes in Shixu. However, just thinking about it like this made her feel like she had fallen into an illusion.
Everyone fell into the illusion of an out-of-control node, and unconsciously started fighting among themselves.
People watching outside whispered, "What exactly is this illusion? Is it also a secret realm?"
"You don't care if it's a secret realm or not, just see if the venerables can properly cross this realm."
"Look, Venerable Yanran seems to be in trouble."
Yanran suddenly received a sneak attack. This sneak attack came from another soul from Jiukong Temple, who was in the same realm as Yanran.
Yan Ran blocked her in front of her with a defensive technique, gritting her teeth and persisting.
"You actually made a sneak attack!" Yan Ran said harshly.
Yanran had some impression of the appearance of the soul, the person who had gossiped about her relationship with Lu Hanhe.
The other party snorted and laughed, "Since it is an illusion and everything can be attacked, why do you want to sneak attack? Or does it mean that Venerable Yan Ran has no realm and no cultivation?"
Add irony upon irony, leading to hatred upon hatred.
"You're talking nonsense!" Yanran suddenly became furious.
At this moment, high in the sky, the chess game had been laid out, and Zhao Ningzhi dropped a piece.
Correspondingly, Yanran was furious and counterattacked with such overwhelming momentum that her opponent subconsciously wanted to avoid it.
But since he was enveloped in the power of Taoism, it was already too late to leave.
Everyone was in an uproar. They did not expect that Yan Ran, who was originally at a disadvantage, would show such explosive power, which was in sharp contrast to her weak and pure appearance.
At this moment, Zhao Ning broke through Ying Ming's layers of blockade and launched a counterattack.
Yanran's movements also became unpredictable.
I saw the overlap of light and shadow in Shixu, where shadows were everywhere. With the help of these lights and shadows, Yanran suddenly stabbed down and suddenly broke through the opponent's barrier. The crisis was approaching in an instant, and she wanted to stop it in an instant.
However, Yanran's magic weapon fell in a fatal place.
Yanran won this battle, but at the same time more eyes were focused on her.
The unknown and silent chess game at high altitude continued. Zhao Ningzhi landed a piece in an inadvertent blank space, and the main chess piece moved from one place to another.
The black chess piece followed closely behind, and the chess game seemed to be controlled by Ying Ming. Everything seemed to be implicated. No matter how much changes were made here, there was always no way to escape.
Inexplicably, the status of the chess pieces on the chessboard seems to be reflecting something, vaguely implicated in the situation in a certain deep sea trench.
Two cautious figures cautiously headed towards the depths of the trench. Before they reached the place they wanted to go, they encountered two blockers who came from nowhere.
"Damn it, why would someone ambush here!" said a person in the deep sea trench. "Has our plan been exposed?"
"Don't worry so much, let's deal with this matter first." Shang Xia shouted, "Kill them, anyone who stops us will die!"
Like a child falling out of nowhere, with Shang Xia's sudden outburst, those who surrounded and suppressed them were killed instantly. They were panting, having used up all their strength.
The two of them didn't say anything more. They looked at each other and, as determined as ever, headed deeper.
But things went against expectations. After breaking through two blockades in succession, Ying Ming fell in love with this child again. This child was silent and unconscious, but like a shadow that kept wandering into the situation.
Zhao Ning didn't even notice it at first, and just focused on eliminating the other obstacles one by one.
After a long time, I suddenly realized the seriousness of the entire chess game.
She stood her ground and then fell one more time, echoing a certain scene of struggle. It was somewhere on the Xianzhou continent, among the most terrifying volcanoes in Jiuzhou. One of them was alive and dead, and the other insisted on walking forward.
"Keep on holding on, we'll be there soon."
"Sect Leader Xiang, please leave quickly and leave me alone. It was my suddenness that caused us to be in such a passive moment now."
"Don't say much. This Suzaku is extremely cunning. Even if others come, they will be attacked by it." Xiang Hongxuan said, "I can feel that its power is not as strong as we imagined. It is just an appearance. There must be Opportunity."
Until he reached a crater, he said coldly, "Maybe it's just a trick. We must be decisive, otherwise we will really be trapped here."
The dying man struggled, "In that case, let me go to the person who is about to die."
With that said, without even waiting for Xiang Hongxuan's words, he jumped straight into the crater.
"No!" Xiang Hongxuan's eyes narrowed, "Bai Jie!"
Xiang Hongxuan jumped down immediately.
A son fell down in the dark, surrounded by shadows, and suddenly seemed to be saved from a desperate situation, and found hope in the middle of the crisis.
At this moment, the illusion below had already come to an end after several days of fighting. Everyone was surprised by the outcome, but they had to admit that everyone had seen it in person.
"Process." Yanran stood up unsteadily, arched her hands forward, and the other party also bowed respectfully. The smile on Yanran's lips could not be concealed.
She turned into a stream of light and left the illusion. When her consciousness returned to her body, she could feel countless eyes focusing on herself, as well as those who wanted to gain benefits from Yanran. Seeing Yanran pass the level, she felt uneasy, but she also knew You shouldn't be so petty. The next moment, you can only hand over your hands and congratulate.
This result lasted until everyone walked out.
The sect master of Jiukong Temple did not regret it, and instead announced to everyone, "Venerable Yanran is the leader this time and the first candidate for the Shixu quota."
Yanran never thought that she could compete with those Tribulation Souls in this way, and stand at the top of everyone, and could feel the envious eyes of countless people.
For a moment she felt everything was so exciting.
