Wet viviparity

Chapter 802 One move, killing the opponent.
Just when Ji Ming's black pieces seemed to be forced into a desperate situation, with many pieces in imminent danger, and this terrible game was about to end, Ji Ming concentrated all his spiritual energy, even using the wisdom power within his Sudatta Eternal Fruit, and mastered the bad game pattern.

Suddenly, his eyes gleamed, and he picked up a black piece. His arm stopped trembling, and his movements became steady and powerful.

At that moment, he realized the ultimate move in the bad opening moves, the secret of which was a moment of clarity before death!
This move was not a truly brilliant one, but rather a desperate counterattack that appeared tragic but was actually futile, formed by using a few scattered fragments of pieces left over from the previous stage, which were disregarded by the Divine Mother, after countless blunders had been laid out.

This move was like a tiny flame lit in a desperate situation. Although weak, it carried a determination to do something despite knowing it was impossible, which is why it elicited a soft exclamation from the Divine Mother.

At this moment, inside and outside the chess pavilion, every chessboard had fallen, without exception.

This was another reason why Ji Ming had been waiting before the game: he had to win the final match against Shenmu in a satisfying and exhilarating way.

Without hesitation, and unable to hesitate, the white piece of the Divine Mother precisely extinguished the last flame of the black piece, completely crushing Ji Ming's futile resistance, and the large black dragon was declared utterly slaughtered.

"boom!"

As the final, decisive blow landed, the clear light that enveloped Ji Ming's chessboard suddenly shone brightly.

The clear light soared into the sky, purer and more joyful than that of any other player before.

The entire Chess Pavilion realm fell silent, countless gazes turned in astonishment to the chess player on the lotus platform, who looked as if he had just been pulled out of the water and could not even open his eyes.

"It's him."

Ji Xuzhou, a Daoist from the True Spirit Sect, secretly said.

As the top leader of the True Spirit Sect, he has always been unmatched among his peers in the True Spirit Sect, so his vision has long been set on the level of the three righteous sects.

Because of the style and traditions of the True Spirit Sect's inner family members, they were often criticized by their fellow orthodox sects. When the True Spirit Sect went to the other two sects' territories, they seemed to be naturally inferior. Therefore, he always wanted to know how he differed from the elites of Taiping Mountain and Huangting Palace.

However, Ji Xuzhou believed that he was a unique individual within the sect, and deep down he did not think that he was inferior to the outstanding figures of the other two sects.

In his heart, Master Lingxu was one of the people qualified to reflect upon him, and at this moment he saw a kind of purity in him, a purity in the way of chess. It is conceivable that his cultivation must be even purer.

He also possessed this purity, but he had to admit that it wasn't as intense as that of the Venerable Lingxu.

"The world's talents are as numerous as carp crossing a river!"

Ji Xuzhou sighed silently.

Ji Ming let out a muffled groan, his face pale and his body swaying slightly. Facing the dazzling light before the chessboard, he bowed deeply and said in a hoarse voice, "The Goddess's chess is profound and her strategies are flawless. This junior is completely convinced of her defeat!"

As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of the fairy Chang'e looking at him, giving him a knowing smile.

At this moment, the Iron Fork Taoist had already left his seat and was heading towards Ji Ming.

At the same time, several powerful thoughts were dropped from the sky, each thought accompanied by a whistling sound in the air.

Seeing this, Ji Ming reacted quickly, sweeping his hand across the chessboard, mixing the black and white pieces together. This caused several chess enthusiasts to jump up and down in frustration. If it weren't for the presence of the Goddess, they would have definitely challenged Ji Ming to a game.

Jiang Zhao had already noticed Ji Ming's unusual move earlier because he had abandoned his piece and conceded defeat early on. Therefore, he stood closer and was the only one present who had seen Ji Ming's complete move.

His face, which had originally held a hint of arrogance, was now filled with surprise and bewilderment. He simply couldn't understand why such a ridiculously bad game of chess could bring the Goddess such joy, even causing her radiance to soar into the sky and overwhelm the entire arena.

This was completely different from his understanding of the supremacy of strength, leaving him utterly bewildered and unable to comprehend the ways of these celestial beings.

Ji Ming disturbed the chessboard, not because he was afraid that his bad moves would be learned.

He knew that even if he were willing to teach, probably few people present would be willing to learn. He was worried that if his chess skills were discovered, he would be known as some kind of "stinky chess king" in the world.

Before Ji Ming's chessboard, the clear light swirled, as if laughing silently. For the first time, the Goddess's thoughts entered Ji Ming's primordial spirit with such clarity and pleasure, saying, "Your chess is not very skillful, but it is interestingly bad, and pleasingly bad. Playing against you, I can win without even having to put my mind to it."

As the saying goes, "playing chess to kill shit is for fun," so it's certainly a way to pass the time.

In the past, when I got tired of playing chess, I would go find a friend who was good at playing bad chess. Unfortunately, her chess etiquette was not very good. Whenever we were halfway through a game, if she saw that the situation was not good, she would either touch the board again or try to find an excuse to leave.

As the ancients said, "Before developing intelligence, cultivate character." Who knew she was the type who practiced touching and walking before developing intelligence? That's why I dislike her so much, yet she's incredibly capable, and I can't do anything about it.

Looking at the chess pieces he had scrambled on the board, Ji Ming felt as if he were sitting on a wax figure. He chuckled awkwardly and said, "My Goddess, please understand. I did not mess up the board because of my poor chess skills. It is simply that my chess is terrible, and I was afraid of alarming all the great chess masters and making a name for myself in the mortal realm."

A divine hand appeared in the moonlight and gently waved. The celestial beings in the heavens took their leave and disappeared with regret. The chess players in the mortal world, including skilled chess cultivators, were also seen off by the Fairy Chang'e.

Everyone knows which one has been favored by the Goddess this time.

"Your chess style is different from that guy's shitty chess; it has a lot of rules and methods. I haven't felt this comfortable in a long time."

"I am ashamed."

"That's all."

The goddess interrupted him with a knowing look, "You little rascal, your mind is never on the game. You offered up that ancient and strange creature, and went to great lengths to put on this shit-filled chess show. All you wanted was to consecrate that Ruyi Treasure Handle."

Ji Ming's heart skipped a beat; he knew the real show was about to begin.

He rose from the lotus platform and solemnly said, “Divine Mother, you are wise. I was promised your assistance in the past, but this treasure is fundamental to my cultivation, and I dare not be careless. Now I humbly request again that you, Divine Mother, have mercy and personally consecrate it to help me achieve this treasure.”

At this point, there's no need to beat around the bush anymore.

The moonlight shone quietly before the chessboard, but the goddess did not respond immediately.

Ji Ming could sense that the pleasant emotion seemed to have settled down, as if it was weighing something.

He held his breath, his mind was heightened like never before, and the official seal on his waist quietly emitted a warm glow.

In this subtle silence, a tiny ripple, like a pebble dropped into still water, merged into the divine light that enveloped the chessboard and fell into the palm of that divine hand.

This fluctuation originated from the Jade Immortals. As this wisp of Jade Immortal's thought entered, it was as if an invisible weight had been gently placed on the scales of the Divine Mother's judgment.

In the moonlight, the spirit of the Divine Mother resounded again, this time with less mockery and more solemnity. "Last time, that little white crane boy borrowed his own spiritual feather to plead for you, and I have already shown him mercy. But you, little Taoist, are unwilling to be satisfied, which makes me quite displeased."

Seeing you today, I see that you haven't given up yet, using all sorts of methods, and you don't give up easily, which is quite admirable.

Besides, although this chess game is rather poor, it's quite interesting. For the sake of the six fellow Daoists, I will grant your request and personally consecrate this Ruyi for you.”

Upon hearing the words of the Goddess, he couldn't tell whether it was his unwavering spirit that moved her, his diligent practice of chess, the Jade Immortals' respect, or a combination of all of them.

In addition, Ji Ming noticed the use of the term "fellow Daoist" by the Goddess, which suggests that the identities of the six Jade Immortals are far more mysterious than he had imagined.

Regardless, Ji Ming felt completely relaxed, as a major matter had been resolved.

At this moment, his first thought was not one of ecstasy or excitement, but rather a thought: what kind of expression would the Pleiades Star Lord have if he knew about this?

After Ji Ming thanked her repeatedly, the Goddess said with a slight smile, "Since you are already among the Taiyin Immortals, there is no need to be so polite. I don't have such rules. This realm is in dire need of a wonderful person like you to relieve boredom."
