Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 300: The Law of Time, So Terrible

After the third round ended, the old beggar couldn't help but look surprised.

"You little kid, your talent in chess is too amazing..."

The old beggar raised his head and looked at Lin Chen.

"Decades ago, your chess skills had already begun to show signs of improvement... Now it seems that you are not much weaker than me..."

"It's just that your chess moves..."

The old beggar frowned slightly. He had never seen such a strange chess move.

Logically speaking, the way of playing chess is the state of mind and a manifestation of the person.

The more proficient a person is at chess, the more distinct his or her personal style tends to be.

But the old beggar saw that Lin Chen's chess moves were ever-changing.

It seems that he has planned everything out and can see through every step, but it lacks some meaning and style.

"How strange... I have never seen such a strange chess number in my entire life..."

The old beggar frowned slightly, looked at Lin Chen carefully again, and muttered:

"You kid... you can't see through it. I can't see through it either..."

Hearing this, the corner of Lin Chen's mouth twitched slightly.

It would be strange if you could see through it...

The one playing chess with the old beggar was not Lin Chen, but Daxia's artificial intelligence library.

Artificial intelligence has long been able to calculate the evolution of every chess move, but it is still no match for this old beggar.

Instead, Lin Chen was a little surprised.

He is worthy of being the legendary number one chess master in the spiritual world.

After the last game of chess was over, the old beggar looked at Lin Chen deeply and said softly:
"Boy, in terms of chess alone, you have nothing to learn..."

"But you have to understand that sometimes... the key to victory or defeat is often outside the chessboard."

After hearing this, Lin Chen frowned slightly and wanted to ask again.

But when the words came to his lips, he asked:
"Senior, I want to know...what do you mean by timing?"

The old beggar didn't answer immediately, but pointed at the chessboard and said:

"Look, the black and white pieces are fighting to the death, and it's hard to tell who will win, but in the end it's just on the chessboard."

"If you want to defeat your opponent, relying solely on the variables on the chessboard is not enough..."

"Just like the devil and the righteous, the battle between the thousands of cultivators in Qingzhou is still on the chessboard. No matter who wins or loses, it doesn't matter..."

"unless……"

As the old beggar said this, he overturned the chessboard in a very ungraceful manner.

Black and white chess pieces fell to the ground with a clatter.

Lin Chen watched this scene quietly, thinking about something in his mind.

"Ahem, of course... If the competition between black and white chess pieces exceeds the expectations of the chess player, it will have a certain impact on the chess player's state of mind."

"In the end, it can also become a driving force that influences the overall situation..."

Lin Chen listened to these words, thinking deeply.

Black chess is like the devil's way, white chess is like the righteous way.

The battle between good and evil is ultimately within the chessboard; it is just a game played by the chess player.

No matter how many black pieces are eaten, or how many white pieces are eaten, it is just a pastime for the chess players.

Just like, no matter how many people die in the devil's way, the devil cultivators have managed to return the way to heaven.

Its original intention was not much different from what the people in the spirit world had expected...

The rise of martial arts in the Five States has caused heavy casualties among the demon cultivators. Perhaps this is what the spiritual world hopes to see?
After all, it is the Tao and the Heaven, and those who die are not necessarily the righteous cultivators and mortals, the evil cultivators are also among them.

The nutrients transformed from these dead monks still supply the spiritual world.

Let the spirit world last longer...

After figuring this out, Lin Chen took a deep breath and bowed:

"Senior, I am grateful for your teaching!"

The old beggar smiled and nodded when he heard this, picked up a few more black coins, and said softly:
"However, killing the devil is always right..."

"I see that the martial arts in Qingzhou are very popular recently. This martial arts may be a turning point."

"However, the influence of martial arts is still too weak... If the new method wants to be born in the world, it needs a better cradle and more nutrients..."

When Lin Chen heard about martial arts, his heart skipped a beat.

He was afraid that the old beggar knew even such a secret.

But if you think about it carefully, it's impossible.

Even the spirit world doesn't know this secret. If the old beggar knew it, how powerful would he be?

Do we still need to be afraid of the spirit world?

That night, Lin Chen talked a lot with the old beggar.

Benefited a lot.

The next morning, Lin Chen left Wendao City.

……

The land of Qingzhou, including the southeast, northwest, northeast and central regions, a million miles of territory, most of it fell into the hands of the Underworld.

Currently, the only safe areas are the Western Regions and the tens of thousands of miles of territory between Wendao City and Tiandao City.

Lin Chen had never been to the Western Regions, so he decided to go and take a look.

He flew on a sword all the way, passing through thirty-two cities.

It took Lin Chen three months to travel from Wendao City to the westernmost tip of Qingzhou's western region.

Along the way, I met many monks from the Western Regions and tasted many delicacies from the Western Regions.

The monks from the Western Regions are more muscular and better at physical skills.

Martial arts are popular among the monks, and they are always ready to fight if they are not convinced.

Therefore, every cultivator in the Western Regions could potentially be a robber cultivator, but they are wary of each other and dare not rob.

Further west in the Western Regions is the west coast of Qingzhou.

Across the endless sea is the legendary Demon State, which is the home of the demon clan.

"This Western Region is a good place to spread martial arts..."

Lin Chen murmured.

He stayed in the Western Region of Qingzhou for two or three months, and saw that the martial arts breathing method began to spread in the Western Region, but the speed was a bit slow.

"It seems that we need to add more fuel to the flames... Let the martial arts breathing method spread in the Western Region as soon as possible."

"The population of the Western Region is booming. It has become the most populous place among the five regions. It is a good place to develop martial arts breathing techniques..."

So, in the next few months, Lin Chen sent out dozens of martial arts puppets.

After disguising himself and changing his identity, he began to spread the martial arts breathing method.

Just as it did in the Meteor Islands and the Eastern Region of Qingzhou, martial arts breathing techniques spread rapidly in the Western Region.

However, for his own safety, Lin Chen did not do this personally.

Instead, he looked for a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and prepared to go into seclusion.

……

Qingzhou Western Region.

Three thousand miles south of Sanbao City is the Zifeng Mountains.

The highest peak among the vast mountains that stretch for tens of thousands of miles.

This mountain is six thousand feet high. There are many monsters in the deep mountains, and the mountain is so high that it is close to the sky.

Logically speaking, such a high mountain should have heavy snow, clouds and rain all year round, with no distinction between four seasons.

But the top of Zifeng Mountain has distinct four seasons, with cold winters and hot summers, and the air is fresh.

This mountain is where the earth veins converge, and it is a treasure land.

Lin Chen sat cross-legged on the top of the Purple Peak, breathing regularly.

His heart moved slightly, and a thumb-sized pill appeared in his hand.

Heavenly Pill.

Compared to the original time, most of the Dan Qi contained in this Tiandan has been consumed, but it is still incomparable to ordinary elixirs.

"Alas, this Tiandan... looks like it's running out..."

Lin Chen felt a little regretful.

He practiced the Changqing Jue, and the Heavenly Pill floated in front of him, with wisps of Dan Qi seeping into his Dantian.

This cycle continued for one hundred and eight great cycles.

A month passed.

And the Tiandan also completely turned into nothingness.

After a month of seclusion, Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes and felt the changes in his dantian.

"Yes, the final essence of this Heavenly Pill has allowed me to successfully advance to the third level of the Changqing Jue..."

"It seems that the middle stage of the Spiritualization stage is not far away..."

Lin Chen's mouth curled up slightly. When he reached the Spiritual Transformation Stage, the improvement of his cultivation became more and more precious. And Lin Chen still maintained a rapid growth in his cultivation in the human world, naturally because he was willing to spend resources.

However, the jade dew from the spiritual world has been used up, and the heavenly pills have also been consumed.

Lin Chen doesn’t have many resources for cultivation left.

There are still more than 100,000 high-quality spirit stones left, enough for the next two to three years of practice.

However, a lot of spiritual liquid was born in the Xuantian Treasure Gourd, amounting to tens of thousands of drops.

But Lin Chen was reluctant to use it, because he found that the longer the spiritual liquid settled in the gourd, the better the quality of it would be.

Now, the effectiveness of these tens of thousands of drops of spiritual liquid has exceeded half of the jade dew from the spiritual world.

Lin Chen planned to save it and take it when its effect was no longer improved.

Looking at the unique beauty of the mountain top, Lin Chen murmured:

“It may take some time for Junior Sister Jiang to break into the Spiritual Transformation stage… This Purple Peak Mountain is a quiet place for retreat.”

Lin Chen thought about it and decided to go into seclusion on the top of Zifeng Mountain.

After setting up several formations and restrictions, Lin Chen sat under an old tree on the top of the mountain.

In front of me is a thousand-foot cliff and clouds like the sea.

Sit and watch the sun and moon rotate and the stars change.

The energy of the four seasons moves according to the time.

In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.

……

Two years later, Lin Chen sat under the tree like a sculpture.

Although my eyes are closed, my mind is as bright as a mirror.

Lin Chen has been sitting in seclusion for four whole years.

Two years on Blue Star, two years on top of this Purple Peak.

During these four years, Lin Chen did not see anyone and just meditated alone.

During these four years of exploration, Lin Chen finally felt something different...

“Even if you are a Yuanying Zhenren, Huashen Zhenjun, or even a return to the void, or a fusion... it is just a tiny part in the vast river of time that is so weak that it cannot be detected.”

"Look at this world, only the sun and moon rotate eternally, only time is eternal. If it is like floating in the sky and earth, or a grain of sand in the vast ocean..."

Lin Chen finally opened his eyes, and in a trance, thousands of flowers, plants and trees on the top of the mountain began to change.

This is the wild growth of trees and the flourishing of flowers and plants.

It seemed as if months and years had passed in just a few breaths.

Lin Chen raised his eyes and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

The bright moon seems to be moving faster.

The bright moon, which was just covered by dark clouds, suddenly moved a lot and appeared.

Beyond the Northwest Sea and to the north of Chishui, there is Zhangwei Mountain.

There is a god, with a human face and a snake body, and a red body. His eyes are straight, his gaze is dark, and his sight is bright.

At this moment, Zhu Jiuyin's inheritance further grew within Lin Chen's body.

That tiny seed of time seemed to begin to take root and sprout.

"The mood of time?"

"No... the power of artistic conception should not be so strong..."

Lin Chen seemed to be thinking about something.

After four years of seclusion, Lin Chen's cultivation had not improved at all.

But his grasp of the artistic conception of time has grown to an astonishing level with the rotation of the sun and the moon and the changing of the four seasons.

Great success, perfection, and the ultimate state...

Lin Chen's power of time has already surpassed the level of artistic conception.

"Perhaps... this is the power of the law?"

"The Law of Time? It is a lower-level law of the Law of Time... Although it is not as powerful as the Law of Time, it is also extremely mysterious..."

Lin Chen's mood remained calm.

"I have mastered the power of laws that can only be mastered by Returning to the Void cultivators..."

"It seems that it is still a little short of a complete law, but it can already be called the prototype of a law."

Lin Chen was eager to try it out. He wanted to test the power of this prototype of the law.

With a slight movement in his heart, Lin Chen left the top of Zifeng Mountain where he had been in seclusion for two years.

All the way west, across the west coast.

……

A week later, Endless Sea.

Lin Chen rushed over the endless sea, and his spiritual sense covered an area of three hundred miles in radius.

He was looking for traces of a fifth-level sea beast.

Finally, a fifth-level sea beast that looked like a shark appeared in front of Lin Chen.

In the middle stage of transformation, Megalodon shark.

This sea shark is the overlord of the sea area within thousands of miles, comparable to a cultivator in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

It is hundreds of feet long and looks like an island, full of visual impact.

Lin Chen was suspended in the air, with huge waves surging under his feet.

This fifth-level sea shark discovered Lin Chen and wanted to eat Lin Chen.

Lin Chen looked at the crazy look of the sea shark and laughed.

With a slight movement in his heart, an invisible force of time rushed towards the sea shark.

In almost just a moment, the sea shark froze in place.

Lin Chen saw that the sea shark's body had expanded several times in an instant.

The aura even began to approach the late stage of Spirit Transformation.

But beware, the once strong skin begins to decay.

The sharp teeth began to fall off, and the huge scarlet eyes began to lose their focus.

In just a few dozen breaths, this fifth-level sea shark went from its prime to its old age.

Eventually, it turned into flesh, blood, and bones and was buried in the sea.

"A cultivator who has attained the state of spiritual enlightenment can live for five thousand years."

"The lifespan of a transformed monster is even longer... The lifespan of this sea shark is at least ten thousand years."

"And it looks like he should be in his prime, so he should still have another five to six thousand years to live..."

"But in those few dozen breaths just now, I have stripped this sea shark of at least five or six thousand years..."

Lin Chen's heart was shocked. In just a few dozen breaths, five or six thousand years could be peeled off.

This is a fifth-level sea beast!
If it were a Nascent Soul cultivator or a fourth-order sea beast, Lin Chen would probably take away all of its lifespan in an instant.

Lin Chen sensed it slightly and found that the law of time in his body was slightly consumed.

But it will recover in a few days.

"This power of time... is too strong!"

"The lifespan of demon beasts is several times that of humans. When dealing with human cultivators, the Law of Time is the real killer weapon!"

"I don't know how effective it is against Return to Void cultivators who also master the laws, but it is an absolute killer against Spiritualization cultivators!"

Lin Chen thought about it and felt that there was still room for improvement in the power of time.

For example, integrating it into Lin Chen's swordsmanship and martial arts.

With one strike of the sword, it is possible to sever three hundred or even three thousand years of the target's lifespan. Isn't that terrifying?
At that time, who would dare to take on Lin Chen's swordsmanship?
"Yes, this is the direction of deduction..."

"It seems that we need to experiment again."

Lin Chen turned around and flew towards the depths of the endless sea again.

For the next three months, Lin Chen continued to study the laws of time.

Until, three months later...

……

Ask about the city.

A few days ago, Lin Chen received a call from Jiang Liqian.

She successfully broke through the Spirit Transformation Stage, and the two agreed to go to Yunzhou.

Before leaving, Lin Chen confirmed that his master, fellow disciples, and several good friends were all safe and sound.

So he followed Junior Sister Jiang and headed towards Yunzhou.

"Brother Lin, do you know where Yunzhou is?"

Jiang Li asked with a faint smile.
