The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

The Yellow River successfully remained in the Wuji Starfield, and the Heavenly Dao Laws of the Wuji Starfield gradually stabilized. The beings that had left earlier quietly returned to the Wuji Starfield.

Zhang Lingfeng finally had time to improve his strength and earn enough "lying down" points.

For many years, his focus has been on increasing his immortal essence. Now that he has attained the Dao of Immortal Emperor, he hopes to advance to the sixth level of Soul Essence Master, and then the seventh level, trying to find a way to move forward.

Of course, all of this is based on obtaining enough "lying down" points.

After becoming stronger, he discovered that although playing chess with the Dragon King could earn him "lying down" points, the amount he gained seemed to be quite small. On the contrary, he found that playing against someone of lower status was much more profitable.

For example, when playing chess with Zhuang Bihao, or some other immortal cultivators, the "lying down value" is much higher.

He suddenly realized it.

When those in positions of power neglect their duties, slack off every day, and banter with those in lower positions, it is itself a form of complacency, a very suitable form of complacency.

It can help you obtain the "lying flat" value more easily.

Playing chess with the Dragon King and the Demon River only yields one or two thousand "lying-down points" per day, while playing chess with lower-level cultivators yields three or four thousand, or even five or six thousand "lying-down points" per day.

If this continues, after several decades of development, one's "lying down" value may accumulate enough to prove oneself as a seventh-level Soul Essence Master, or to make one's Immortal Emperor's True Essence reach a level that other Immortal Emperors can only dream of.

He couldn't help but ask again: Is there a higher realm above the Immortal Emperor?

Could it be that the Celestial Emperor is the ceiling of the world above?

If I have the chance, I should find out from the Soul Emperor and the others. Obviously, they know much more than I do.

After decades of development.

Zhang Lingfeng saw that many small and large cities had appeared in the Wuji Starfield.

The Celestial Emperor descended to the mortal realm.

He disguised himself as an ordinary monk.

In a bustling city called Kamikaze City, there was a tea stall with a chessboard, a mahjong table, and a deck of cards.

If a cultivator passing by wants to drink tea, simply play cards with him; the spiritual tea is free of charge, including spirit stones.

This strange business practice quickly attracted people's attention, and everyone was curious about what Zhang Lingfeng was up to.

But no one knew that the person in front of them was the Immortal Emperor Lingfeng.

Setting up a stall in his own territory and seeking out subordinates for gambling, finding Zhang Lingfeng is not an easy task. Even the Soul Emperor and the White Tiger Immortal Emperor would find it difficult to locate him.

Unless they enter the Boundless Starfield.

So no one knew that the person in front of them, who set up a stall in the bustling city and liked to play chess or mahjong with people, was the Lingfeng Immortal Emperor of the Boundless Star Domain.

Many people have also heard that Zhang Lingfeng enjoys playing mahjong, cards, chess, and other games.

Many people have even studied it.

Knows how to play mahjong and poker.

Some people believe that these card games may contain unseen Taoist powers, and that one might gain opportunities from them.

As a result, the number of life forms in the Wuji Starfield is increasing.

Some card and chess rooms have also appeared.

Some people even offer card and board game courses to exploit unsuspecting investors, claiming that Zhang Lingfeng gained his power from card and board games to become an immortal emperor.

There are even rumors that Zhang Lingfeng's opponent in every game of chess is the Heavenly Dao.

In short, it's incredibly miraculous.

But many people believe it.

Therefore, the number of people who can play chess, cards, and mahjong in the Wuji Starfield is increasing. Some are gradually becoming fascinated, while others are trying to comprehend the Great Dao.

Some, however, have gone astray and become possessed by evil spirits because they have not been able to comprehend the Great Dao for a long time.

Everyone's cause and effect is different.

Zhang Lingfeng cannot be perfect in every aspect.

However, one thing is undeniable: playing mahjong, chess, or poker with Zhang Lingfeng can provide opportunities, because the person sitting in front of them and playing against them is a powerful Immortal Emperor.

Unconsciously, the other party was bathed in Zhang Lingfeng's Daoist techniques, and in a place like the Boundless Starfield, it was not difficult to obtain power from it.

So at first people were a little puzzled about Zhang Lingfeng's approach. How could he profit from it? Did he want to obtain the power of the Great Dao from the chessboard?

But as more and more people come to believe in this,

People have started to take it for granted.

Even in many bustling cities, paralysis like Zhang Lingfeng's has occurred because rumors have spread that the Immortal Emperor Lingfeng likes to enter the mortal world and play mahjong in some card and chess rooms.

Perhaps one day, the Immortal Emperor Lingfeng will suddenly descend and play chess or other games with the stall owner.

As rumors spread, more and more people begin to believe them.

"Shopkeeper, another bowl, please."

Liu Xiaolong said.

As a human immortal cultivator.

For some reason, one day when he was thirsty and wanted to drink tea, he discovered that he could get free tea if he played chess with the shopkeeper. So he sat down, drank tea and played chess with the shopkeeper, and his mind became more and more peaceful.

He didn't know what was going on.

Perhaps there truly is a profound power at play in the game of chess.

Out of curiosity, he also sought out someone to play chess with, but without success. Therefore, he went to Zhang Lingfeng again, wanting to play chess with him.

"okay."

Zhang Lingfeng remembered Liu Xiaolong.

He was a rogue cultivator.

I recently came from outer space.

With such strength, he was able to survive in the Boundless Starfield. It was thanks to his establishment of relevant order that cultivators in major cities had their safety guaranteed; otherwise, Liu Xiaolong would have been reduced to ashes long ago.

Of course, there are many things that Zhang Lingfeng cannot interfere with or manage.

He also cannot be tainted by too much karma.

Once outside the city, safety is no longer guaranteed. In some remote and impoverished areas of the Boundless Starfield, there are also cultivators who have plundered mountains, and some even live as kings of the mountains.

Zhang Lingfeng could eliminate them, but that would affect the development of the Boundless Starfield and disrupt the balance of power.

There are some things he can only wait and see.

A few days ago, I played chess with Liu Xiaolong for an entire afternoon and earned nearly 3,000 "lying down" points. If Liu Xiaolong could come and play chess with me every day, I could probably earn 6,000 "lying down" points in a day.

This was the most lucrative battle Zhang Lingfeng had fought since becoming an Immortal Emperor.

You should know that the "lying down" points he can get from the Dragon King and others every day are only one or two thousand. Moreover, they are only willing to play chess with him because he is the Immortal Emperor and they dare not refuse him.

That kind of lying flat feels really awkward.

So they opened a tea stall here, offering free spiritual tea to chess players. All they had to do was play chess with him, beat him, or leave when the time was up.

The game played by Liu Xiaolong and Zhang Lingfeng was the simplest form of checkers.

There is a die spinning.

Players move their pieces across the map by rolling dice, and the first player to have all five of their pieces reach the finish line is the winner.

You can't cheat when the dice are rolling; you have to let it roll naturally, etc.

There are some simple and fair rules.

Liu Xiaolong used to scoff at such superficial games.

But for some reason, playing this game makes me relax involuntarily, as if I'm immersed in the world of checkers.

The dice are like the way of heaven.

The rules revealed on the map are like laws.

Those five chess pieces are like his five destinies; if he wants to achieve enlightenment, he must overcome one obstacle after another.

As for Zhang Lingfeng...

This became an obstacle on his path of cultivation.

He needs to keep trying to get all his pieces to the finish line before Zhang Lingfeng.

This is a very simple game, but beating Zhang Lingfeng is not an easy task. Before he knew it, Liu Xiaolong had lost track of time.

One game of chess after another, and bowl after bowl of spiritual tea beside him, Liu Xiaolong could no longer sense any other sounds around him.

The map of the chessboard was rapidly enlarging, as if the laws of nature were standing before him, and he became a beam of starlight, wandering along the lines again and again.

Liu Xiaolong had no idea how much time had passed.

They didn't even realize that their feet were connected to the ground, as if they were sinking into the earth, with the soles of their shoes being swallowed up by the ground.

The other hand was pressed on the table, and flesh and blood were fused together with the table.

My hair has turned white.

There are wrinkles on her face.

The spiritual tea has also run out.

"boom!"

Suddenly the map disappeared.

Everything has returned to the present moment.

Liu Xiaolong was jolted and fell off the chair.

In the bustling city, some people were watching the spectacle.

Liu Xiaolong hurriedly stood up and found that all five of his pieces had reached the finish line, while Zhang Lingfeng still had one piece left, halfway there. He had won.

"I... won."

Liu Xiaolong exclaimed in surprise.

"Yeah, you think you're so great for beating me with one sentence!"

Zhang Lingfeng exclaimed in admiration.

Liu Xiaolong was unaware that he had already progressed from a Human Immortal to an Earth Immortal, gaining extraordinary achievements, and his mind had been cleansed by the Immortal Emperor's Daoist teachings.

Attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in the future will not be a difficult thing.

"Thank you for your guidance, boss."

At this moment, Liu Xiaolong also noticed a change in his strength. Normally, he would have been overjoyed and danced with delight.

But this time he was very calm.

He could only instinctively bow to Zhang Lingfeng in gratitude.

He turned and left.

He needs to go back and study the sword technique.

That strange map appeared in his mind and wouldn't leave him. He felt that he had finally found his own opportunity.

People often say that Immortal Emperor Lingfeng may have comprehended his Daoist power on a chessboard and eventually became an Immortal Emperor. At first, Liu Xiaolong, like many others, scoffed at this, thinking it was just wishful thinking and a fabricated story about Immortal Emperor Lingfeng.

Now he understands that feeling all too well.

He was certain that there was an enviable power of magic in the game of Five-in-a-Row.

He finally found this power of magic and his own opportunity. Even so, Liu Xiaolong never imagined that the stall owner was the Immortal Emperor Lingfeng.

I just felt that the stall owner had an extraordinary background, and perhaps he had already comprehended the power of Taoism from the game of chess. By a twist of fate, I resonated with him at a certain point and gained an opportunity, which led me to become a cultivator of the Earth Immortal realm.

In any case, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Liu Xiaolong was worried that the strange map would disappear from his mind, so he quickly returned and entered a state of seclusion for cultivation.

"Hey!"

Zhang Lingfeng looked troubled.

Liu Xiaolong received this opportunity from him, which also means that it may be a long time before Liu Xiaolong comes to play chess with him again.

He also didn't want to give the opportunity to Liu Xiaolong.

But he himself is a Celestial Emperor.

Being able to play chess against oneself is an immense opportunity.

Some people discover it early, and some people discover it late.

In short, no one is an exception. As long as you play chess with him and can immerse yourself in it, you will gradually gain something. Liu Xiaolong is the best proof of this.

"One bowl, please."

"I'm thirsty."

This was a rugged-looking cultivator who came to investigate Zhang Lingfeng.

He placed a large, immortal-grade cleaver on the table, then, looking at the chessboard on the table, he pushed it aside with some disdain.

I've recently heard that one can comprehend the power of Tao from chess games, and there are even rumors that Zhang Lingfeng's ability to become an Immortal Emperor is related to playing chess and mahjong.

But only a fool would believe such deceptive words.

He didn't take it seriously at all.

I just sat down as I was passing by, wanting only to have some tea.

He slapped a small piece of spirit stone on the table, urging Zhang Lingfeng to quickly pour tea.

"We don't sell spirit tea here, you should leave!"

Zhang Lingfeng said with disdain.

Such a person has no interest in playing chess or mahjong. Even if you can sit down and play chess or mahjong with him, he won't say what he really means, and it's hard to help him gain "lying flat value".

At the same time, this temper is both foul and stubborn.

It could easily cause a lot of trouble. Such things have happened before, and Zhang Lingfeng is used to them.

The best way to deal with this kind of person is to get rid of them and not waste time on them.

"I asked you to pour me some tea, and you dare..."

The man was furious.

He is a celestial cultivator.

When Liu Xiaolong left, he was just a mere Earth Immortal cultivator, and clearly someone who had just been promoted. If the other party could sit down and drink tea, how could I, a dignified Heaven Immortal, not be able to make Zhang Lingfeng sit down and serve him?

Zhang Lingfeng glanced at it indifferently.

The man felt as if he were standing on the edge of an abyss, sinking into endless darkness. When he came to his senses, Zhang Lingfeng was lying on a recliner with his eyes closed, fanning himself with a palm leaf fan, resting.

It was as if he hadn't done anything at all.

The man found it strange.

Suddenly, he discovered that a portion of his immortal essence had been drained, causing him to drop a realm, from the third level of Heavenly Immortal to the second level of Heavenly Immortal.

"Gulu."

He seemed to have thought of something.

He quickly stood up, bowed to Zhang Lingfeng, and then turned and ran out of the bustling city.

"We can't stay here any longer."

After much deliberation, the man decided to leave Shenfeng City immediately.

Let's avoid revealing the details here.

Zhang Lingfeng looked helpless.

Whenever he encounters something like this, he needs to warn the other party, which usually works. Most of them will turn around and run away like a tough guy and won't provoke him anymore.

But there are also some hotheads who can't distinguish between what's important and what's not, and they insist on targeting him. Although they can eventually be kicked out, the situations are very different.

Some people disappear into thin air without anyone noticing.

Some were thrown out of the Boundless Starfield by Zhang Lingfeng.

Some were directly crushed into powder by Zhang Lingfeng and entered the cycle of reincarnation, or even suffered the fate of having their souls scattered. It all depended on the extent of the other party's behavior.
