The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 563: Supreme Chess Game
Li Hao was slightly stunned, suspecting that he had heard wrongly. He thought that the other party would make other demands, or even ask him to hand over the inheritance of the Emperor's Palace, or lead him to the pseudo-world of Tianhuai.

But I didn't expect that the other party would ask me to take him as a disciple?

He was somewhat puzzled, staring at this Supreme Being, feeling that he could not figure him out.

At the same time, he suddenly thought of another situation.

Since the Immortal Emperor Tianhuai defected back then and his crime was so serious, why is the Tianhuai Pseudo-Realm still preserved?
If the pseudo-world is buried in the place where the ancient demons live, and they are unwilling to waste energy to set foot there, then it can only be barely justified.

But after he met Chi Ying, the other party led the generals of the Heavenly Palace to the Tianhuai Pseudo-Realm to kill the demons. This was enough to show that the other party had the ability to open up the ancient demon battlefield!
You have to know that Chiying is only at the Immortal Lord realm, which is not a high realm. With the power of the Heavenly Palace, let alone sending a few top Immortal Lords, even sending a few Immortal Kings would be an easy task!
And around the area of ​​the pseudo-world of Tianchao, the Immortal King realm is enough to sweep it.

Moreover, if they didn't know that it was the false world of Tianchao in the past, then Chiying should have reported the situation to the Heavenly Palace long ago when he set foot there later. However, the Heavenly Palace still did not deal with it.

It was so weird. As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal. However, Li Hao had too little information in his hands, so he was just confused about it. However, he suddenly thought of some other possibilities.

This association comes from the fact that he himself is a fisherman.

Perhaps, this supreme being had already known about the false world of disaster.

Since the crimes of the Immortal Emperor Tianhuai are deeply sinful and are now recognized by them with irrefutable evidence, the retention of the Tianhuai Pseudo-Realm is somewhat terrifying when one thinks about it.

Maybe, that was a bait.

But the bait is used to fish for other people.

As the other party said, many big clans and forces were implicated by the incident of the Immortal Emperor Tianhuai, and they all disappeared in the end, were executed or exterminated.

But, is it really cleaned?

Maybe not, therefore, the false world of disaster becomes a bait.

If those big clans find the Heavenly Disaster Pseudo-World and take root there, secretly developing, they might be wiped out by the Heavenly Palace...

Thinking of this, Li Hao suddenly broke out in a sweat on his back.

He himself is both a fisherman and a chess player. At this moment, he feels more and more that the pseudo-world of Tianchao is a bait, a huge bait.

Use a pseudo-world of the Heavenly Dao as bait and at the same time, as a chess piece.

That's a game!

The more Li Hao thought about it, the more he felt this was the case. This was not just his own imagination or scaring himself, but rather all the anomalies and contradictions that made him have such doubts.

He himself is also an eleventh-dan chess player, extraordinary and capable of planning, as well as the ability to see through and break the situation.

However, he is now deeply trapped in the game, and this game is very big. He feels that he may have become a chess piece!
Since that Tiancai Pseudo-Realm was the bait, and the Supreme just said that Chiying had reported the situation to the Heavenly Palace, then the Supreme must have known their identities long ago.

But the other party did not look for him...Now, for various reasons, he came to the Southern Region to fight again and came before this Supreme Being himself.

All this seemed to be a natural progression, but Li Hao suddenly felt that there was a dark hand behind the scenes pushing it forward.

The reason why he was asked to come to the Southern Region for the battle was the Great Dream Jiuyuan Sect, but Li Hao believed that it was definitely not the Great Dream Master's attraction. On the contrary... Li Hao glanced away and looked at Emperor Chu.

As the emperor of the ancient immortal dynasty, would the other party not be able to guess my identity?

I had displayed my Qingtian swordsmanship before in the ancient fairyland. When I defeated Chu Tianzheng, everyone was watching. Wouldn't the other party have any associations?
However, the other party did not mention this matter at all. Instead, they betrothed their own children to him in marriage, as if they wanted to bring him into the royal family of Yanchu and make him work for Yanchu.

Li Hao thought of two possibilities.

One possibility is that the Emperor of Chu was indeed numb and did not associate it with those distant events.

The other is to do it intentionally.

But in the second case, what is the reason?
If the other party wants to execute me, it’s just a matter of moving a finger.

Or does the other party intend to give himself to the Supreme to please him?

This possibility does not seem to be high. As the Emperor of the Immortal Dynasty, an existence at the top of the Immortal King realm, or even a Half-Step Emperor, he has already stepped half a foot into the Immortal Emperor realm. Why does he need to be so servile and fawning?
Li Hao's eyes flickered, and he couldn't think of the reason, unless there was only one possibility, that is, the other party deliberately sacrificed himself and intended to sever his relationship with the Immortal Emperor Tianhuai.

But after a hundred thousand years, is it necessary to be so deliberate?

The more Li Hao thought about it, the deeper he became, and he became absent-minded.

"What are you thinking about?"

At this time, a cold voice sounded, and Mingyue frowned and said to Li Hao: "My master is talking to you, didn't you hear it? It's so rude. The one standing in front of you is the Supreme of the Southern Region, the emperor of all immortals and gods!"

Li Hao came back to his senses and heard what the other party said. He looked at the others. At this time, looking at these ancient emperors, Li Hao suddenly read some other meanings from their gloomy faces. Pity? Regret?
Li Hao felt awe-inspiring, thinking that these emperors had already seen through his identity and that he was deeply trapped in the trap.

However, before this, he was in the game but did not know the situation, and was a chess piece without realizing it.

Now, he barely knew that he was in a big game. The players in this game were the Supreme of Heavenly Palace on one side and the other side, who was unclear but might be the Emperor of Chu, or maybe more than the Emperor of Chu.

He took a deep breath and said to the Supreme of the Heavenly Palace: "These immortal arts are powerful, why should they be abolished? Immortal arts are innocent, just like swords are innocent."

"How dare you talk to Master?"

Mingyue said angrily.

Li Hao ignored her and just stared at the Supreme of Heavenly Palace. However, just by touching his eyes, he felt dizzy and as if he was falling. He had to turn his eyes away quickly, but there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"There is no shortage of such magic in the world. There are other magic that can replace it."

The Supreme of the Heavenly Palace did not answer Li Hao, but said: "If you can pass the test and become my disciple, I will teach you more powerful magic. Are you willing?"

Hearing his words, countless people's eyes were focused on Li Hao.

In the distant starry sky, Wang Shanhe, who was chasing the stars and hurrying along on his journey, suddenly changed his expression. The Emperor of Heaven actually openly snatched his disciple away from him.

He couldn't help but reveal a bit of nervousness in his eyes. After all, the Immortal Emperor had fallen, but the Heavenly Emperor in front of him was alive. Comparing the two, it was self-evident what choice to make.

Elsewhere, a figure in blue clothes was galloping quickly in the starry sky, her figure carrying colorful light. She stared at the reflected scene, pursed her lips slightly, and quickened her pace.

She could see into the past and the future, and already knew what the boy was about to face. She had also seen this scene a long time ago, so she was not surprised.

Ask your conscience in the Buddha city.

On the hillside, Old Man Han picked up the wine jug, took a sip, and looked quietly at the young man in the clouds, waiting for his answer.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, his eyes were indifferent, with a hint of self-mockery.

Boy, I’m afraid we will part ways from now on... He thought about the things he had given away, and felt that he had been willful once. When he becomes that person’s disciple, the other party will surely find out that this boy’s Tao heart is definitely not just the eternal Tao heart, and will also see through his handiwork, and will most likely come to patronize again then.

A slight sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. If it happens again, then we will fight again.

In the territory of Yan and Chu, in the city of nine thousand immortals.

Standing in some secret places in each immortal city, there were figures with sad faces, all with clenched fists, with grief and rage on their faces, but they had no choice but to face it.

They had seen and endured such humiliation many times before.

Now, all I have to do is endure it one more time.

Endure, endure, endure... I've endured for a hundred thousand years, how can I not endure it anymore?
Many people gritted their teeth and clenched their fists until they bled, but in the end they had no choice but to endure it.

When the eyes of the entire Southern Region were focused on Li Hao, Li Hao stood on the cloud. At this time, he didn't feel much, just stared slightly and said:
"What would happen if I said I didn't want to?"

When they heard his words, there was an uproar on the top of the mountain.

Countless people thought that Li Hao would agree without hesitation and turn to the light. Moreover, compared with the fallen Immortal Emperor, the Supreme Being in front of them was alive, so one could tell what to choose with just a click of a finger.

But it is incredible that Li Hao would hesitate.

In the starry sky, Wang Shanhe, who had been chasing, was stunned, and then his eyes became moist as if crying blood.

Even if Li Hao was forced to ask this question in the end due to the majesty of the Supreme Lord of Heaven, it would still be worth it for them to play so many games of chess in front of that thatched hut!
Another blue-green figure was flying in the starry sky, looking indifferent to the boy's answer. She had already seen it. She had even seen everything about the other party from birth to now, and had seen it over and over again countless times.

Perhaps, the other party had an ordinary impression of her, but she had long been extremely familiar with the young man, even as familiar as a family member.

In Yanchu Nine Thousand Immortal City, many figures with sad faces were all bitter. Some people had tears in their eyes and said to themselves:

"Well, well, well, after 100,000 years, there is still someone who dares to ask him a question. He is worthy of being the disciple chosen by the Master!"

"Poor child, your soul only lives for a hundred years. You shouldn't be involved in this kind of thing. Others may not believe in those three IOUs, but we do!"

"Don't be confused, kid."

The anger that had just been suppressed to the point of suffocation in their hearts seemed to be suddenly comforted by the young man's soft question, so much so that many of them brimmed with tears, and their anger turned into sympathy and pity for the young man.

In the clouds and mist, Kenshin and Mingyue's expressions froze slightly, and then their faces became a little gloomy.

The Heavenly Palace Supreme's expression remained calm, and with the majesty of looking down on all living beings, he spoke in a calm voice:

"If you don't want to, I will spare your life and let you fight for the Southern Region. After all, we humans are so short of talent right now."

After hearing his words, countless people came to their senses and shouted for the Supreme Being’s infinite mercy.

Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief, but knew that things were not that simple, so he asked, "If that's the case, I thank the Supreme for his kindness, but I already have a master, and it doesn't matter who I become his disciple. As long as I see the ancient demon, as long as the ancient demon breaks the rules and I'm needed, I'm willing to fight!"

His words were powerful and came from the heart.

In addition to the fact that the ancient demon flesh could strengthen the soul, he also remembered vividly the scenes of the ancient demon sweeping across the pseudo-world of Tiankai. He did not want the tragedy to spread throughout the world.

If a catastrophe really comes, he will naturally not retreat. After all, no egg can remain intact when the nest is overturned.

Countless people were shocked when they heard Li Hao's refusal. Faced with the Supreme's invitation to accept him as a disciple, Li Hao actually refused!

You know, this is the status of a direct disciple, how honorable, you can walk around the entire Southern Region with your head held high!
To put it simply, if anything happens to Jianxin and Mingyue in any immortal dynasty in the Southern Region, the entire dynasty will have to give an explanation to the Heavenly Palace!
"He actually..."

Many of the participating disciples were also a little confused at this time, with shock in their eyes.

Among them, the Immortal Lords from various Immortal Dynasties, such as Chu Tianhuang, Boya Xuejian, and the Immortal Lords from other large clans in the Immortal Dynasties were all stunned.

They came here to join the battle, not only to become famous and compete with geniuses of the same level, but also to become disciples of powerful people.

And now, the biggest opportunity is right in front of Li Hao, but he actually refuses it.

This is an opportunity that many people desire!

"He, he, he, what does he think?"

Chu Yueli was a little confused. When she heard that the Supreme of Heavenly Palace was going to accept Li Hao as his disciple, she was filled with joy and excitement. If her husband was a disciple of the Supreme of Heavenly Palace, with the same status as Jianxin, then her status in the Yanchu royal family would rise to surpass all the royal families. Even those evil brothers and sisters would not be afraid of her in the future.

No matter how many factions the other party has in the court, they are no match for her husband alone.

But, Li Hao actually refused?

When she realized what was happening, she became so angry that her face turned blue and she wanted to rush up and question him loudly.

While the whole audience was shocked and talking about it, the Supreme Lord of Heavenly Palace remained calm and said:
"Although I can spare your life, you have too many things in your body that shouldn't be there, and the disciple mark on you must be erased. In other words, I will retain some of your memories and find another reincarnation for you. Are you willing?"

Li Hao's face changed slightly. He knew it wasn't that simple. Looking for a reincarnation again?
Doesn't this mean that we are still going to kill him?
Moreover, he only retains some of his memories, so is he still himself when he reincarnates?

As the supreme being, he actually spoke so heavily. Li Hao's face was gloomy, which was equivalent to leaving him no choice.

However, the countless people present were not surprised by what the Supreme of Heavenly Palace said. After all, given Li Hao's status, if they did nothing and let him go, what would they do if another human betrayed them and joined the ancient demons? How could they convince the public?

"So, I have no choice."

Li Hao asked: "What is the test for becoming a disciple?"

Tiangong Supreme said calmly: "It's very simple. If you can survive three moves from Jianxin, you will pass."

After hearing his words, everyone's eyes turned to Kenshin.

Kenshin was also slightly startled, and then his eyes became cold and stern.

In his mind, Junior Sister Mingyue's voice suddenly appeared: "Senior Brother, please do your best. I don't want to be a fellow disciple with this guy."

"Don't worry, I don't want to either."

Jianxin responded via telepathy.

Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Hao with a sneer in her eyes.

If he loses and cannot become your disciple, then his fate will definitely not be good.

Seeing such a bad attitude towards her master and his repeated disobedience, she wished she could defeat Li Hao or even kill him with her own hands.
