Immortal Chess Game (5K Monthly Ticket Request) Chapter 1112: 441: Transcending Life and Death!
Immortal Chess Game (5K Monthly Ticket Request) Between heaven and earth, all things have their principles, and this is the “logic.” When these principles gradually evolve and become timeless truths, they manifest as “the Dao,” the most original essence of the world.
Cultivating immortality is, in essence, the process of retracing these origins, hence it is also called Seeking Truth.
To study the Dao and cultivate oneself, seek the true self, discard the false and keep the truthful, and chase the most authentic Dao of the world to ultimately become a Certified True Immortal is the path of Seeking Truth.
In legends, encompassing all cultivators’ imaginations, Immortals are those who are closest to the origins.
And when a cultivator enters the stage of Divine Transformation, because the Nascent Soul merges with the Primordial Spirit, their Essence, Qi, and Spirit unify into one entity, which greatly enhances certain capabilities and gradually brings them in contact with those primal elements, the very surface of the Great Dao—the Daoist Charm.
...
However, in this world, nothing is absolute.
Even the eternal Dao, at certain special moments, can undergo incredible changes.
Thus, through the long years, there have often been cultivators, even ordinary mortals, who, with their insignificant selves, have grasped some profound truths of the universe closest to the origins, even developing their own Dao.
Once this personally-held Dao solidifies to a certain extent, it can turn decay into magic, and even mortal bodies can touch the Daoist Charm.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Longevity Taoist Lord Lu Xiucheng, it’s extremely incredible that Chen Dengming could so quickly comprehend the Daoist Charm.
But in the vast epochs that have passed, even more unbelievable events have occurred, which he himself has experienced.
Thus, it’s not so hard to accept.
After all, Chen Dengming is also an heir of the Heavenly Immortal Dao Unification, favored by luck and cared for by the Heavenly Will, thus some destinies are to be expected.

He is now just worried that Chen Dengming’s instant of enlightenment might take a very long time.
Whilst the Outer Domain Devil Lord might lead a massive invasion of Outer Realm Evil Cultivators at any moment.
Returning to the Palace of the Immortal King after destroying the flesh and Primordial Spirit of the Lord of Mosha Country, Qu Shenzong immediately understood Lu Xiucheng’s concerns.
He promptly suggested, “As you said, your disciple is indeed an extraordinary genius of this era, and he has also played a role in defeating the Lord of Mosha Country.
Let us extract some Immortal Spirit Qi contributed by the deceased Deity Transformation Dao Lords, converted into Heavenly Time, for him to contemplate.”
Lu Xiucheng shook his head and sighed, “At least ten days, or perhaps many months, the Outer Domain Devil Lord will definitely return.
Even with the help of Heavenly Time, if he is too immersed, he might not be able to awaken in time.”
This kind of sudden enlightenment may sometimes be just a momentary flash, but if one does not grasp it fully for a while, it might take many years to do so.
Upon hearing this, Qu Shenzong laughed heartily, his eyes gleaming strangely, “It seems you are now inclined to put the last hope on him.
But you have also said, we shouldn’t place too much hope on these younger generations.
Whether he succeeds or not, we have long made arrangements, and your end has already been predetermined.”
“Yes, predetermined.”
Lu Xiucheng nodded slightly, his aged gaze tinged with a trace of hope and weariness, looking towards the people who were standing aside.
Qu Shenzong sighed deeply, with profound meaning, “In ancient times, there were rumors of a woodcutter who went to the mountain to cut wood and saw two children playing chess, so he sat down to watch.
Little did he know, those two children were manifestations of the Daoist Charm left behind from Immortals playing chess in the past.
The chess they played was a great chess game covering the past, present, and future.
The chess pieces on the board were also significant figures of the world from the past, present, and for thousands of years to come.
By the time one game finished, though only seven days had passed in the mountains, a thousand years had gone by in the world.
The woodcutter only realized his axe handle had rotted away, and upon descending, he saw the world had changed dramatically, having gone through a cataclysm, and he eventually embarked on the path of immortality, growing into a stunningly significant figure.
Elder Brother Lu, with your extensive experience and knowledge, have you ever heard of this person!?”
Lu Xiucheng looked away, a nostalgic smile appeared on his face as he gazed at the red clouds above the Immortal King’s residence.
“A thousand-year-old turtle, even I cannot live past ten thousand years.
But as long as the Four Seas and Four Realms do not fall into the hands of the Devil Lord, the legend of the woodcutter encountering an Immortal might well be passed down for ten thousand years…
Indeed, that woodcutter was I…”
Qu Shenzong’s body shook, despite having suspected and doubted the truth of this legend over many years.
Hearing the Long-life Old Turtle confirm it personally, still inevitably stirred up tumultuous waves inside him, and he immediately wanted to ask more.
But Lu Xiucheng preempted him, “If you wish to ask about my Immortal Chess Game, I can only tell you, it’s inscrutable—it spans the past and the future.
It involves Heavenly Immortals playing chess, and I do not know who the opposing Immortal is.
Now, I guess it seemed more like the Heavenly Dao arranging it, encompassing up till now.
Perhaps that game has already finished, and we are merely pieces on the chessboard, continuing a game that was already completed long ago, heading towards the predestined ending, just as I am now, with my end! already set.”
Qu Shenzong frowned, not quite agreeing, “You have determined your end, but I haven’t set mine yet.
What about your disciple, can you determine his end?”
Lu Xiucheng’s weary face revealed a short-lived bitter smile, he pondered resolutely, “No!
But precisely because I cannot, I can face my end with equanimity.
It’s different for you all; you are the variables on this chessboard, perhaps eventually you could change the outcome of the board.”
Qu Shenzong fell silent, looking towards Chen Dengming who had now sat down cross-legged, his face serene.
