The sky and earth were gray, and the ancient battlefield was boundless, seeming to spread across the entire world.

A series of dazzling golden lines appeared, dividing the battlefield of heaven and earth, forming a chessboard of heaven and earth.

Li Jiudao stood shoulder to shoulder with the sky. As soon as the son fell, the heaven and the earth were shaken. Gods and demons swept the entire place with a murderous aura.

Where did Emperor Xia go through such a battle, his soul was throbbing and he was panic-stricken.

He looked at the chess pieces in his hand, and they turned into a sky full of gods and demons, all white.

On Li Jiudao's side were black gods and demons.

He was not worth mentioning in front of the gods and demons, but he was in charge of the gods and demons playing chess. He was almost frightened to death...

"Father, please come on!"

Next to her, Xia Yan looked anxiously. Her father held the chess pieces for a long time and refused to move. What was he doing?

Emperor Xia came back to his senses, glanced at Xia Yan, and wanted to say, you cheating kid, come here and try it. The heaven and earth are the board, and the gods and demons are the sons. I am afraid that even the saints cannot play such a chess game...

Li Jiudao saw that Emperor Xia was still reluctant to play chess pieces, and thought that Emperor Xia was worthy of being the king of a country. He was already thinking about the plan of the entire chess game before he even played a piece.

This is when I met a master...

Emperor Xia's scalp was numb, but he finally gave birth.

The white piece fell, and the white gods and demons emerged to confront the black gods and demons.

However, compared with the black gods and demons, the white gods and demons have no momentum at all, not even a little bit worse...

Li Jiudao followed up with a move, and two black gods and demons came to kill him. Emperor Xia was about to collapse and was tortured.

Emperor Xia's face was dripping with sweat, but he had only played a dozen moves and was already completely defeated.

And he was also tortured during these dozen moves and was on the verge of death many times.

"I thought I met a master..."

Li Jiudao was speechless. He originally thought Emperor Xia was a master, but it turned out that Emperor Xia was so bad that he defeated him in just a dozen moves.

"Actually, it's almost the same. With my chess skills, no matter how much Emperor Xia thinks about it, it won't be enough."

His chess skills are also "extraordinary", and this set of chessboards and chess pieces were also rewarded to him by the system.

"This is... sticking to your heart!"

After the game was over, Emperor Xia found that his Taoist heart had improved several levels in succession, reaching the state of 'sticking to one's true heart'!

Stick to your true heart... This level of Taoist heart is really too high. Even the monks in the Destiny Realm may not be able to cultivate such a high level of Taoist heart!

"Senior Mighty is using the chess game to temper my Taoist heart!"

He suddenly realized that he was infinitely grateful to Li Jiudao.

The Taoist mind is so important to monks.

Only with a firm Taoist heart can monks achieve great achievements on the road of spiritual practice. If the Taoist heart is not good, no matter how high the realm is or how strong the strength is, big problems will inevitably occur in the future!

Monks all know the importance of the heart, but it is too difficult to temper the Taoist heart. Although many monks have improved their realm, their Taoist heart does not match their realm, and they are all in a very low state.

Emperor Xia never imagined that he had just played a game of chess with the powerful senior, and only made a dozen moves before his Taoist heart reached the point of 'sticking to his true heart'!

Sticking to one's original heart, this is the realm of Taoist heart that many monks dream of. It is a qualitative improvement, which is completely different from the previous Taoist heart. With the Taoist heart of 'sticking to one's original heart', he can practice it successfully all the way. Destiny Realm!

And he is destined to be stronger than other monks because he has the Taoist heart of 'sticking to his original heart'!

"Um...can I play another game?"

Emperor Xia asked cautiously.

"Hehe, my father must have benefited greatly from playing chess with Senior Mighty!"

Xia Yan laughed in her heart, knowing that her father had benefited from it, otherwise her father would not have thought about playing another game.

"OK."

Li Jiudao didn't refuse either.

Anyway, he had nothing to do when he was free. Although Xia Huang was not very good at chess, he could still relieve his boredom.

After his Taoist heart reached the point of 'sticking to his true heart', Emperor Xia's chess play was obviously much better than before, and the number of chess moves he made became more numerous.

However, the oppression brought to him by the chess game still exists, and his Taoist heart is still in a state of being tempered.

After a few rounds, even he himself couldn't believe that his Taoist realm had actually reached the realm of 'unity of heaven and earth'!

The Dao Heart is one with the heaven and the earth. Such a state is simply unknown. There are definitely not many people in Yanzhou who can possess such a Dao Heart state!

He was a little arrogant. He really didn't expect that he could be promoted to the realm of 'Unity of Heaven and Earth'. With such a Taoist heart as the foundation, it would be difficult for him not to become stronger in the future!

Others have high realms and low Taoist heart. He is the opposite, with high Taoist heart and low realm. This is undoubtedly a good thing. His cultivation path will be smoother than other monks.

"Yeah, I've already played so many games without realizing it."

Li Jiudao stretched, indicating that it was time for them to get up and move around.

It's so boring, he might as well do it himself.

He originally planned to play against himself, but then Xia Yan and Xia Huang happened to arrive, and he thought about playing two games with Xia Yan and the others to relieve his boredom.

Who would have thought that Emperor Xia's chess skills were so bad? He had already let off some steam, but Emperor Xia was still not good at it. It was better for him to play against himself.

After his chess skills reached "extraordinary status" and became a saint, he could also do two things at once, separate from each other, and play games with himself.

Emperor Xia was reluctant to let go. The benefits he got from playing chess with Senior Da Neng were so great that he wanted to continue playing chess with Senior Da Neng.

But the powerful senior has said so, how could he still say that he will play two more games...

He stood up and said goodbye to Li Jiudao. Xia Guo still had a lot of things waiting for him to deal with, and it was inconvenient for him to stay here too long.

"I'll come back to senior later!"

Xia Yan also said goodbye to Li Jiudao and left with her father.

"Oh my God, there are such unimaginably powerful seniors in the world!"

After leaving Qingshan City, Emperor Xia was deeply moved. He had learned a lot this time. Li Jiudao was unfathomable and beyond imagination!

Xia Yan chuckled and said, "Father, don't worry about Ning Jie now."

"There's still something wrong..."

Emperor Xia frowned and said: "You said that Ning Jie was scared and ran away. Under normal circumstances, he should not have any ideas for you anymore. Are you sure that Ning Jie was scared away by the powerful senior?"

"Yes. No, Senior Da Neng didn't take action at that time. It was the pet cat raised by Senior Da Neng that scared Ning Jie away!"

Xia Yan always thought that Ning Jie was scared away by the powerful senior, but now that she thought about it carefully, it seemed that things were not what she thought.

Senior Da Neng did not behave at all strangely at that time, he looked like a normal human being. At that time, Ning Jie thought that Senior Da Neng was just a mortal. Not only did he repeatedly collide with Senior Da Neng, but he even fought against Senior Da Neng.

She remembered.

At that time, the pet cat raised by Senior Dang Neng showed the power of a ferocious beast, and Ning Jie was frightened and ran away!
