1259 Playing chess with the Western Emperor

Tian Ji rattled on for a while, but at that moment, in the chess room, the projection of Emperor Xi was smiling without saying a word.

Fang ping glanced at Emperor Xi’s projection and frowned slightly.

It was similar to The Phantom of a beast Emperor, but of course, it was not exactly the same.

The beast Emperor’s projection had been created by Fang ping. It had not existed before.

!!

Emperor Xi’s projection had always been there.

Emperor Xi was sitting with a chessboard in front of him.

Fang ping looked at the go board and felt a headache coming on. The ancient people played very differently from the modern world. Even if it looked like go, it was not.

Fang ping actually did not know how to play this kind of chess.

Of course, it wasn’t as if he didn’t understand it at all.

The Heavenly King seemed to know how to play. He seemed to have played with old Zhang before. Old Zhang should know how to play. Fang ping had seen it once, but he did not have much of an impression.

Fang ping turned his head to look at the celestial pole.

Heaven’s Fate dodged him, and when he was more than five meters away, he said,””It’s just a game of chess. If you win, you should be able to leave! I’ve been playing for a while, but I haven’t won yet. ”

Fang ping raised his eyebrows and said,”didn’t you study it for eight thousand years?” You can’t defeat this fake emperor Xi?”

Heaven’s Fate was embarrassed.

“I’ve been down for eight thousand years … Father has been down for tens of thousands of years. ”

Heaven’s Fate felt aggrieved. ‘Father didn’t let me, so I had no choice.’

Fang ping was not in a hurry to speak. He walked forward and suddenly reached out to touch Emperor Xi’s projection.

The Western Emperor’s projection laughed. His body swayed slightly, avoiding Fang ping.”Young friend, although I’m not a true Emperor, I’m still a fragment of the emperor’s life essence.

Even though I’m not an Emperor, I’ve lived much longer than you. Have you exceeded that?”

As soon as he said that, Fang ping did not react, but celestial pole was stunned!

The next moment, Tian Ji threw a punch and said in exasperation,””You can speak? You have consciousness?”

F * cking hell, he was exploding with anger!

He had played so many games, but no matter what he said, the other party would only say,”continue the game …”

He thought it was just a simple procedure, so he didn’t pay much attention to it.

Even though they were scolding each other for a long time, Emperor Xi did not say anything when he eavesdropped on them.

But now?

Celestial pole was about to explode!

This projection could speak and talk about other things, but it actually ignored him!

This King is your son!

Is this how you treat your son?

Emperor Xi’s projection shook his body slightly and avoided him. He sighed and said,””A son disobeying his father, unfilial!”

“My family is unfortunate!”

Emperor Xi shook his head and sighed.

His son was about to attack him. He was really unfilial.

Heaven’s Fate, on the other hand, was extremely angry. He said angrily,””If you’re conscious, why didn’t you talk to me before?”

“AI!”

“I’m just an essence, not my true body. I’m afraid you won’t be able to accept it …”

“……”

Heaven’s Fate was almost angered to death by this projection’s words. In any case, he was currently in an extremely depressed mood.

This old man was really annoying!

The projection looked at Fang ping again and smiled,”you’re the human King, Fang ping?” My son has been saying that the human King, Fang ping, is domineering and arrogant. This old man is thinking that since he is the human King, how could he not deserve his place …”

“You said it yourself. What does it have to do with me?” celestial pole coughed dryly.

He refused to admit it!

This son-scamming old man, how could he say that?

Don’t you know how brutal this guy is?

Now that the two of them had met here, if Fang Ping’s pettiness flared up and he killed his son, who would be there to send him off?

A projection was just a projection, there was no father-son relationship at all!

Heaven’s Fate cursed in his heart. Fang ping looked at him with a half-smile, and Heaven’s Fate laughed awkwardly.

At this moment, the old cat that Fang ping was carrying suddenly jumped out of his hands and pounced at Emperor Xi!

Under Fang Ping’s slightly surprised gaze, the gray cat slapped its paw over!

Emperor Xi’s projection disappeared slightly, but it recovered in the blink of an eye. He was a little surprised, and he chuckled,””Cang Mao, I didn’t do anything to you, why did you attack me?”

The blue cat jumped onto the chessboard and asked,””Why didn’t you get killed? “We met the old beast Emperor and killed him 60 to 70 times. Then, we ate him. We ate a lot of him, and he tasted pretty good …

Why didn’t you get smacked into a meatball?”

“……”

...

The Western Emperor’s projection was stunned for a moment, and the corners of Heaven’s Fate’s mouth twitched.

Fang ping was an extremely brutal fellow.

“This guy has killed the beast Emperor countless times. Old man, do you believe your son now?”

Look, they’re ready to slap you to death and eat you!

Emperor Xi’s projection could not help but laugh. “It’s different! There are many trials here, and each one is different …”

Fang ping interjected,”so you’re saying that you actually know about the other stages, senior?”

Emperor Xi looked around and looked at the walls. He sighed softly and said,””I know, cage! You’re just a cage for us! Although we aren’t true emperors, we’ve gained some consciousness over the years.

This place is a cage that imprisons us.

Some people were strong and determined. After walking out of the cage, they could experience the scenery of this illusory world.

As for this old man … I can only be trapped here, unable to leave.

Day after day, year after year, whenever someone comes, they’ll play a game of chess. Unfortunately, after countless years, only three people have come here, excluding the two of you. ”

...

Fang Ping’s gaze shifted slightly. Celestial pole was also surprised.”Three? You said that there were three more people before us?”

“Not bad.”

“Who is it?”

“I can’t tell you …”

The Western Emperor’s projection shook his head. The next second, Fang ping threw a punch!

BOOM!

The projection had become much more illusory!

Heaven’s Fate looked at Fang ping, a little speechless. ‘Why did you hit him for no reason?’

“No matter what, he’s still my old man. Although it’s not his real body, it’s still uncomfortable to look at.

Fang ping laughed,”senior, please tell us!” What secret? this place was like a cage. He was an Emperor, after all. Did he have to abide by some rules now? Was there a need?

Just because of this, I feel that senior is the weakest among the nine emperors and four Emperors!”

The projection of Emperor Xi looked at him and smiled without saying a word.

Fang ping laughed and said,”really!” When I went to Zhan Tiandi’s place, he personally welcomed me and gave me a lot of small fish of life. He also said that this world is a world of life, and that it’s real and fake. I can’t tell if it’s real or fake.

However, as a Supreme expert of the Three Realms, he’s not willing. He’s not willing that even a mere projection can’t become someone else’s chess piece. ”

As Fang ping spoke, many small fish of life appeared in his hands.

“He even taught me the most suitable combat technique, which greatly improved my combat strength!”

“Right? Fang Ping’s fist is like a mountain. He threw another punch, and the explosive force was extremely strong.

Emperor Xi’s projection sensed it and frowned slightly.

Fang ping laughed and said,”in my opinion, a true top powerhouse would never be willing to become someone else’s prisoner or chess piece!” Even if it was just a trace of life source, it actually represented the true thoughts of some people.

I didn’t expect senior to be so coward…No wonder the celestial pole is like this too. As expected, we are father and son. ”

Heaven’s Fate’s expression didn’t look too good. What did he mean?

The projection of Emperor Xi looked at him and chuckled,””Little friend, you mean …”

“I’ll say whatever I want to say and do whatever I want to do! Your true body isn’t dead yet, but you’re so afraid of your origin. Are you afraid that you won’t be able to take over your body after you die? With your guts, do you think you have the ability to possess the body of the real Emperor of the West?”

Fang ping shook his head.”Just say what you want to say. Why do you have to keep me in suspense? what three or four? do you need me to guess? I don’t have the energy nor the time to guess. If you can say it, then say it. If you can ‘t, then don’t mention it.

Sneaky, Emperor … Sorry, I’m a little direct. I don’t really like it. ”

The projection of Emperor Xi revealed a smile and said,””My young friend is truly overbearing. The Three Realms has produced yet another hero. Fighting … Is indeed more straightforward than this old man. ”

He saw the small fish of life and felt Fang Ping’s combat techniques. He had to admit that he still believed what Fang ping said.

If Zhan had not given them to him personally, where would Fang ping have gotten them?

The Western Emperor’s projection laughed and said,”if you want to know, sure. But you have to defeat me!” I’ll tell you if I win. ”

Fang ping sat down opposite the chessboard and glanced at the black and white pieces. The Western Emperor held the black piece, and he held the White piece.

At this moment, Heaven’s Fate leaned over but did not get close to Fang ping. He glanced at the chessboard, which had returned to its original state, and said gloomily,””Fang ping, this guy …”

“He’s your father. ”

Fang ping said faintly. Opposite him, the Western Emperor’s projection also smiled faintly.”My son, the human King knows more about etiquette than you.”

“Who hit you in the head?” Heaven’s Fate said gloomily.”Don’t you remember?”

And you’re more polite than me!

Who hit your head just now? don’t you have any points?

Also, who is your son!

It’s not like you’re his real body, so he won’t acknowledge you as his father.

Emperor Xi’s projection did not mind and said with a smile,””Human King, do you want to go first or do you want to go first?”

“Don’t worry. ”

Fang ping laughed.”I don’t know how to play. Why don’t you tell me the rules first?”

“It’s simple,”celestial pole replied.” One side is black and the other side is white. After the nine sons are linked, the winner will be the one. ”

Fang ping was stunned for a moment.”Nine interconnected series?”

“That’s right, it’s the nine-piece line …”

Fang ping could not help but laugh.”I thought it was go. You guys come with me. Gomoku!”

“No, it’s nine-piece chess!”

He laughed. He didn’t pay much attention the last time, but the ancient powerhouses played Gomoku?

How childish!

However, the ninth child … Seemed to be quite difficult.

Five pieces was easy to achieve, but nine pieces, the difficulty would indeed increase explosively.

Heaven’s Fate glanced at him. You’re very confident, aren’t you?

I’ve played a few hundred rounds, and I’ve never won!

If you’re so good, why don’t you try winning a round?

Fang ping laughed,”and?” Are there any other rules?”

“That’s all. You’re free to play. Whoever goes first in the nine-piece chain wins!”

Fang ping looked at the Western Emperor’s projection opposite him and smiled.”Is this the case?”

Emperor Xi’s projection nodded his head and smiled,””This is it!”

“This is too easy!”

Fang ping was helpless.”Then I’ll go first. What do you think, senior?”

“Yes!”

Fang ping was too lazy to waste his breath. He shook his head and said, “It’s such a childish game. It’s a game that you’ll definitely win. It’s boring.”

As he said that, under Heaven’s Fate’s dazed gaze, Fang ping placed nine stones down at once. He yawned and said,”You didn’t say that this is against the rules. I’ll go first. Nine stones at once. I win!”

Fang ping laughed.”It’s too easy. I thought this level wouldn’t be easy. Who knew it’d be so easy! It would be troublesome if you said how many pieces I ate from you. Nine interconnected pieces would do. You’re underestimating me too much. ”

“This doesn’t count …”

Before Heaven’s Fate could finish his sentence, Fang ping shot him a glance and said with a half-smile,”Celestial pole, you don’t have the final say! You have stated the rules, and senior Emperor of the West has no objections. In that case, I have won within the rules! What’s wrong with that?”

“You didn’t set your own rules, and you want me to pay for it?”

“The emperor’s origin is also an Emperor in essence. You can’t even afford to lose?”

The projection of Emperor Xi sighed and said with a smile,””This old man misjudged you, young friend. You have indeed won! However, I can only say that if you win, I can tell you who the three are. If you want to leave, you’ll have to play another round. ”

“This … Is the rule!”

“Young friend, do you agree with the rules that I just mentioned?” the projection of Emperor Xi smiled.

Fang ping said indifferently,”sure, I don’t care!” It’s too easy to win. I’m not even willing to leave as soon as I’ve arrived …”

“I can’t have nine sons again!”

The Western Emperor’s projection added. He glanced at Fang ping and added,”You can only place one piece at a time.”

He added, afraid that Fang ping would come again with ten or twenty pieces.

Fang ping nodded.”No problem. I can play a few more rounds. If I win once and you give me some benefits, I’ll do whatever I want. I don’t mind!”

“Senior, why don’t you tell me who the three people were first?” Fang ping said with a smile.

He had guessed mo Wen sword and Jiang Hao, but he wasn’t sure if the last person was the Thunder King.

Emperor Xi chuckled and said,”the first person was said to be from a blessed Grotto-heaven when we were conversing.” When this old man appeared here, there was no such thing as a paradise in my memories, but I learned some things about the outside world from him. ”

“Mo Wen sword?”

“You guys should know each other.”

The Western Emperor’s projection was not too surprised. He smiled and said,””He’s such a stunning figure. When he goes out, his name will definitely shake the Three Realms. By the way, has he broken through eight or nine?”

Fang ping smiled but did not say anything.

At the side, celestial pole rolled his eyes.”Old man, your eyes are not good! That person was dead! He died not long ago. ”

“He’s dead …”

Emperor Xi’s projection was: little surprised: then: he said with a little disappointment,”that’s true: actually, I’ve sensed it before.: When the third person came, I thought he was a descendant of that person … Now that I think about it, I don’t think so. ”

Fang ping knew who the third person was.

The Western Emperor’s projection sighed and said,”in the past, when mo Wen sword came, he was filled with hatred. He was determined to take revenge!” However, he didn’t let his hatred get to his head. In that moment of shock, I once felt that … He might have broken through all the levels, or maybe he had entered after the levels.

Of course, I didn’t leave this place, so I don’t know if he really broke through the fog.

That year, I was convinced that I lost. At that time, he was only at the true God Realm …”

When they talked about mo Wen sword, the Western Emperor’s projection also shook his head.

He had high hopes for that young man. Although he came with hatred, he had to admit that he was a genius.

He had thought that that person would eventually go very far.

Fang ping laughed,”you’re just pretending to be compassionate. It’s all because of you people …”

At the side, Cang Mao patted him with his paw innocently.

Who said that the cat crying and the mouse pretending to be compassionate?

If I had a rat and the rat died, I would be sad. Liar!

“……”

Fang ping was speechless. ‘You’re still here to cause trouble at a time like this?’

Knowing the two of them, Fang ping laughed.”I know who the third person is. It’s Jiang Hao. You can say he’s the reincarnation of mo Wenjian.” I’m more curious, who’s the second person to break through?”

Emperor Xi’s projection frowned slightly. After a while, he said,””Not considered human …”

Heaven’s Fate was puzzled.

Fang ping suddenly laughed,”that guy?” The tree planted by the divine Emperor? I’m a little curious, what’s its purpose in coming here?”

The Western Emperor’s projection looked at him in shock. Why did he feel that this young man knew everything?

After all, not many people knew that person, right?

“What tree?” celestial pole asked, confused.

The Western Emperor’s projection suddenly looked down on his son and said in a low voice,””All these years, you’ve only broken through to level six. You know nothing about the major events of the Three Realms. All you can do is complain …”

He looked down on this cheap son of his. Even if he wasn’t the real one, he would still look down on him.

What the hell!

He didn’t know anything and only knew how to roar. He was useless and roared!

Celestial pole’s heart ached.

I … I’m being despised by this old thing?

Heaven’s Fate gritted his teeth and looked at Fang ping suddenly, saying in a muffled voice,””Beat this old thing to death. After all, it’s my father’s appearance. It’s not easy for this King to do it. Kill him!”

“……”

Fang ping rolled his eyes. He could not be bothered to get involved in the business between you and your father.

“Senior, what is the strength of that tree? What’s his name? Where are you now?”

“Call out, Dao tree!” The Western Emperor’s projection laughed.

“What big words!”

“The tree planted by the Emperor God …” Tian Ji narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice,”I think I’ve heard you mention it once. For this tree, the Emperor God opened the passage to the nine Heavens and planted it outside the nine Heavens, right?”

“Yes.”

“At least you still remember something useful,” Emperor Xi said with a smile.

“Hmph!” Heaven’s Fate snorted and said unhappily,”if you hadn’t suddenly left without saying a word, I wouldn’t have acted like this!” Look at the two sons of the king of earth, Hongyu and Hongkun. Were they stronger than me in the past?

When he was at the Hong kun Heavenly King stage, I was at the Saint stage but I was younger than him by 5000 years!

I was about to reach Heavenly King, but what happened?

In the end, a great battle came. What about me?”

“I don’t know anything,” Tian Ji said hatefully.”I only saw the Western Imperial Palace crash. I had no choice but to fall with it. I was seriously injured and slept for thousands of years!”

“After I woke up … Hehe, my father was gone, and the heaven realm was gone! My senior brothers are all dead, and I’m the only one left!”

Heaven’s Fate’s expression was ferocious.”You have the cheek to say that I’m incompetent? Of the two sons of the king of earth, one of them brought along his projected avatar and dominated the Three Realms, establishing a dynasty that had been established for three thousand years!

One carried the instructions and legacy of the king of earth, established the divine sect, and dominated the Three Realms!

“Now, both of us have broken through the eighth level, and I … Am waiting for your return alone in the Western Imperial Palace!

I don’t know if he’s alive or dead. I don’t dare to leave the Western Imperial Palace. I’m afraid that the war is not over yet. I’m afraid that my father will return with heavy injuries and won’t even be able to leave a last word!”

Heaven’s Fate coldly snorted,”you’ve never told me anything since I was young! I have to guess and think about everything by myself, and I leave whenever I want to. When have you ever cared about me?”

“Of course, after so many years, I’ve already gotten over it!” Tian Ji laughed. You … Are just my father in my fantasy, as tall as a mountain, giving me hope, giving me the belief to live.

But in reality … Was it?

Wrong, you’re not!

You only know how to berate and criticize. You’ve never thought about why the celestial pole is inferior to others. You always think that I’m inferior to others and that I’m not working hard!

But do you know that among the descendants of the nine emperors and four thearchs, your son, I … Broke through to the sage realm and was the youngest!

Even a hundred years earlier than Hongyu. However, the king of earth knows how to spread the word that Hongyu’s talent is invincible in the Three Realms.

You only know how to say that Hongkun is already a Heavenly King, and your son is actually not a Heavenly King stage martial artist!”

Fang ping looked at celestial pole in surprise.

He was also a little surprised.

And this … Was the youngest Sage?

He should have broken through to the Saint stage after Hongyu. According to what he said, he should be younger than Hongyu. It was just that he had broken through a little later than Hongyu.

He was a genius!

How did a genius end up like this?

The earth Emperor’s two sons, the North Emperor’s daughter, and the spirit Emperor’s niece all seemed to be doing better than this fellow!

Heaven’s Fate saw Fang ping looking at him and smiled faintly.”What? does the human King also think that my heaven-grade talent is invincible? why did it end up like this …”

“No, I didn ‘t,”

Fang ping shook his head.”It’s just so-so, I guess. You should be a few thousand years old by the time you broke through to the sage state. A few thousand years old … I wonder if you can rank in the top hundred of the Three Realms. It’s not surprising that you’ve made it this far, right?”

Heaven’s Fate, who had just been smug, instantly became dispirited. He didn’t want to speak anymore.

Emperor Xi’s projection was also feeling rather complicated at the moment. He shook his head and said,””Maybe, maybe I … Or maybe your father has been too harsh on you!”

Emperor Xi didn’t say much about this and continued the previous topic.””That tree is the Dao tree. The Emperor God studied it for a long, long time before he obtained the fruit. That tree has an extraordinary origin!”

Speaking of this, Emperor Xi’s eyes lit up.”The seed of that tree has an unusual origin. It might be related to the seed of resurrection!” The divine Emperor had left the Three Realms by himself for more than a thousand years before returning to the Three Realms and planting the Dao tree.

The Dao tree is also shocking in the Three Realms. The divine Emperor might be a little different from this tree …”

Fang ping frowned,”what’s its strength?”

“This old man saw it a long time ago. At that time … Break seven?”

“The aura of the Dao tree is not obvious,” Emperor Xi said uncertainly.”After all, I’m just a source and not my true body. I can’t sense it too clearly.”

Fang ping said in a deep voice,”then, the seed of resurrection that you mentioned … Does it really exist?” I’ve always thought that the seed of rebirth was just a saying that some people used to fool the Three Realms. ”

“Does it really exist?”

Emperor Xi laughed at himself,”I don’t know. Even for me, I have only seen projections and illusionary images. They aren’t real. Who knows if they really exist?”

At this point, Emperor Xi continued slowly,”continue! I’ve already answered all your questions!” “If you want to know more, then play chess with me. After so many years, I’ve been too lonely. Celestial pole is too boring. I’ve followed the rules step by step, I’m inflexible, and I’ve lost again and again …

If you want to know more, then beat this old man!”

Fang ping nodded.”I’ll let senior go first for this round. I’m not afraid of anyone in Gomoku. I’ll win for sure. It’s no big deal!”

He said it indifferently and arrogantly!

Emperor Xi’s projection could not help but laugh. Celestial pole’s mouth twitched. Fang Ping’s ability to brag was the best in the Three Realms. He was not afraid of anyone.

But if you want to talk about how good you are at chess … Do you think I, Tian Ji, am good at it?
