Chapter 910: Chapter 910: Chess Formation of Everything
Chen Keying also showed an embarrassed pretty face.
Just when Duobao Venerable was about to burst into rage, Yang Xiaotian spoke up, "Senior, rest assured, if senior is willing to part with it, the junior is willing to exchange it for a Chaos Spirit Vein."
Hearing Yang Xiaotian was willing to exchange a Chaos Spirit Vein, Duobao Venerable’s tense expression eased somewhat as he shook his head, "I’m not lacking Chaos Spirit Veins."
Although Chaos Spirit Veins are rare, the Duobao Commerce Association, being the number one commerce association in the Divine Domain, is not short of them.
Yang Xiaotian thought for a moment and said, "May I ask if senior needs Destiny God Fruit? I am willing to exchange one hundred pieces of Destiny God Fruit."
"One hundred pieces of Destiny God Fruit?" Duobao Venerable was surprised, clearly somewhat tempted.
Destiny God Fruits were not a big deal to Yang Xiaotian, who ate them like ordinary fruits daily, but in the Divine Domain, they were rare divine fruits.
"I want two hundred pieces of Destiny God Fruit," Duobao Venerable said.
"Alright!" Without a second thought, Yang Xiaotian agreed.
The Destiny God Tree produced a Destiny God Fruit every day, and sometimes Yang Xiaotian, while condensing Chaos Laws, did not consume the Destiny God Fruits for his cultivation. He now had more than two hundred pieces on him.
He was eager to part with the Destiny God Fruits he had.
Immediately, Yang Xiaotian produced two hundred pieces of Destiny God Fruit.
Not expecting Yang Xiaotian to so easily produce two hundred pieces of Destiny God Fruit, Duobao Venerable somewhat regretted not asking for more.
However, he also kept his promise and took out the piece of Innate Spirit Soil, no less than agreed upon, and gave it to Yang Xiaotian.
This piece of Innate Spirit Soil from Duobao Venerable, although not as large as the one he obtained in the Liang Li Palace, was not much smaller either. Yang Xiaotian merged the Innate Spirit Soil into the soil nurturing the Primordial Universe Divine Tree.
The already astonishing growth rate of the Primordial Universe Divine Tree sped up even more.
Yang Xiaotian could feel the surging vitality of the Primordial Universe Divine Tree.
Now, the Primordial Universe Divine Tree could produce Primordial Universe Divine Fruits in ten years!
If he occasionally poured a mouthful of Heavenly Dao Holy Water on the Primordial Universe Divine Tree, then it wouldn’t take ten years; perhaps just seven or eight years would be enough to produce Primordial Universe Divine Fruits!
"Thank you, senior," Yang Xiaotian said with a bow and a smile.
Duobao Venerable nodded.
Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to take his leave, Duobao Venerable said, "I know you are skilled in the sword, zither, and book arts, but I wonder how you fare in the game of Go?"
"I’ve obtained a Game of Go manual, and within this manual is a chess formation. I’ve studied it for many years but have never been able to decipher it. I have another piece of Innate Spirit Soil, and if you can help me solve this chess formation, I will also give you that piece."
Hearing there was another piece of Innate Spirit Soil on Duobao Venerable, Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed.
At that moment, Duobao Venerable took out another piece of Innate Spirit Soil, about the same size as the one before.
Yang Xiaotian’s eyes lit up.
If he had this piece of Innate Spirit Soil, the Primordial Universe Divine Tree might be able to produce Primordial Universe Divine Fruits within just three or four years.
"May I ask which chess formation senior has been studying?" Yang Xiaotian asked.
Duobao Venerable took out a chessboard, and with a wave of his hand, the chessboard instantly enlarged, falling onto the ground of the square.
Inside the chessboard, countless chess pieces, like stars, were suspended in the chessboard’s space, each meticulously arranged.
These chess pieces continuously moved about, some fast, some slow, some up, some down, some rotating, some flowing like a great river creating the sound of rushing water.
Some shone like Divine Wood, bursting with the vitality of a lush green hue.
Each chess piece was different, each following its own trajectory.
At first glance, these chess pieces seemed to follow a certain pattern in their movements, but upon closer inspection, they appeared to each go their own way, chaotic and disorderly.
"Chess Formation of Everything!" Yang Xiaotian exclaimed as he looked at the chess formation before him.
"Indeed, it is the Chess Formation of Everything," Duobao Venerable said, appreciatingly glancing at Yang Xiaotian.
This chess formation, inherited from the dawn of the Desolate era, rarely appeared in the world, and even many ancient ancestors were unaware of it. The fact that Yang Xiaotian recognized it at a glance was impressive.
"Do you know how to solve it?" Duobao Venerable asked.
Yang Xiaotian had seen this Chess Formation of Everything in books left by Liang Li.
This chess formation had a total of ten critical points, each located on ten chess pieces.
Therefore, to solve this chess formation, one needed to stop these ten chess pieces from moving simultaneously.
However, Liang Li only mentioned eight of the chess pieces; he did not mention the other two.
Thus, Yang Xiaotian needed to find the other two essential chess pieces.
"This chess formation has ten critical points. To solve it, we need to stop these ten critical-point chess pieces at the same time," Yang Xiaotian explained. "Once these ten critical-point chess pieces stop moving, the chess formation will cease to function."
Upon hearing this, Duobao Venerable’s eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Do you know where these ten critical points are?"
Yang Xiaotian shook his head. "I only know eight critical points. I need some time to study the other two. If you are not in a hurry, give me three days."
Immediately, Duobao Venerable smiled and said, "No rush, take your time to research." He then fell silent and stood aside, waiting for Yang Xiaotian.
Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged, intently observing the movement of each chess piece in the entire formation.
There were as many as one hundred thousand chess pieces.
Spread across the chessboard space, at first glance, they dazzled the eyes.
After observing the motion of every ten chess pieces, Yang Xiaotian would close his eyes to recall and ensure he completely remembered their movement patterns before moving on to the next ten chess pieces.
In one day, Yang Xiaotian had memorized the movement patterns of tens of thousands of chess pieces.
While Yang Xiaotian focused intently on the chess game, Duobao Venerable watched him. Whenever Yang Xiaotian furrowed his brow in confusion, Duobao Venerable’s heart hung in suspense, very anxious.
This Chess Formation of Everything was extremely important to him. He had asked many masters for help, but none could solve this chess formation.
Akeying’s beautiful eyes also stayed tightly fixed on Yang Xiaotian.
The square was utterly quiet.
Unknowingly, three days had passed.
Seeing that Yang Xiaotian was still closing his eyes with furrowed brows, Duobao Venerable’s heart sank.
Suddenly, Yang Xiaotian abruptly opened his eyes, and his ten fingers struck simultaneously, hitting ten chess pieces in the chessboard with ten finger swords.
As Yang Xiaotian’s ten finger swords struck the ten chess pieces, the pieces trembled intensely, bursting forth with blinding light and astonishing power.
But strangely, under the tremendous power of the ten chess pieces, all the other pieces on the chessboard slowly came to a halt.
Eventually, they stopped completely.
Duobao Venerable was stunned for a moment, and then elated.
However, stopping all the chess pieces was only half the solution to the chess formation. Yang Xiaotian struck again with his ten fingers, hitting the ten chess pieces once more.
Suddenly, the entire chessboard came to life again. All the chess pieces that had stopped began to move again, but this time they moved differently from before, each piece radiating a unique glow. All the glows converged above the chessboard, forming various sceneries.
These sceneries surprisingly concealed various mysteries of Heaven and Earth.
Yang Xiaotian took one look and was captivated by these sceneries.
