Liu Changgong’s expression was calm as he held a chess piece in his hand. In his mind, he was already calculating the chess moves that Hongye would make after twenty steps!
But in the eyes of the others, the current Liu Changgong was like a real giant dragon!
That pair of indifferent eyes was like the indifferent eyes of a giant dragon!
That pair of hands that were twirling the chess pieces were ferocious and sharp claws that were about to fall!
There was also a terrifying aura and a Dao rhythm that was not angry but powerful that spread around his body!
Not to mention Yu Hongye who was playing chess, even Wang Yuyan, Shang Chan, and Huang Ze who were just watching by the side had pale faces and dull eyes at this moment!
Among them, Shang Chan was the most affected!
In the past, Shang Yan had brought Shang Chan around the world and would teach Little Shang Chan how to play chess when he had nothing to do!
Over time, under the leadership of Shang Yan, who had been immersed in the chess path for thousands of years, Shang Chan’s chess skills could not be said to be unrivaled in the world, but it could also be said that she was quite confident!
In all these years, other than her father, Shang Chan had never met anyone who could last more than 100 moves under her!
And now, Shang Chan actually felt a kind of despairing pressure from Liu Changgong!
Not to mention 100 moves, Shang Chan felt that if Liu Changgong used his full strength, she wouldn’t even be able to last 50 moves!
This was the intuition of a chess player who had deep go skills!
Of course, there was also the reason why Shang Chan’s strength was so strong that she had a deeper understanding of the Dao rhythm when Liu Changgong played!
This was the first time Shang Chan had seen Liu Changgong play chess. While she was shocked, Shang Chan could not help but sigh.
‘As expected of the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao!’
‘One of the Dao of chess is most particular about design and calculation. The Heavenly Dao is naturally the most calculative existence since ancient times!’
‘If I were to play, I might be able to learn a lot from it. Perhaps I might be able to vaguely borrow the Dao rhythm of chess and touch my own Dao!’
Shang Chan’s cultivation base was around the middle stage of the Tribulation Transcension stage. Although she was extremely talented, her current cultivation base was close to the peak of the Tribulation Transcension stage. Her talent was no longer the most important thing!
The most important thing was her comprehension of the ‘Dao’!
Up until now, she had only faintly touched upon her own Dao!
Her Dao was food!
Although speaking of it, eating food was actually a very low-level minor Dao. It was an existence that immortal cultivators usually scoffed at!
However, the path of food was related to anyone’s Great Dao!
Mortals ate three meals a day and had five grains and miscellaneous grains. This was the foundation of survival!
Cultivators, Heavenly materials and Earthly treasures, medicinal pills, and spirit soups. This was a shortcut to cultivation!
Even if those great cultivators had already stopped eating, they still couldn’t refuse certain Heavenly materials and Earthly treasures!
These could be considered as the path of food!
There was still immortal food in the immortal world, and this Dao was so big that it wasn’t what ordinary immortal cultivators thought!
This was also one of the reasons why Shang Chan was so enthusiastic about eating!
Of course, Shang Chan only faintly touched her own Dao and didn’t have any clear ideas!
Ever since she transcended the tribulation, under the guidance of her father, Shang Chan had slowly found her own Dao!
‘The Dao of chess and the Dao of food might not seem to have much to do with each other, but the three thousand great Daos will eventually lead to the same destination!’
‘Perhaps it really can!’
With this thought in mind, Shang Chan looked at the two people in the game even more seriously!
At this moment, Yu Hongye was placing her 79th chess piece!
This result had already surpassed her best result!
Previously, she had only played 74 moves with Liu Changgong at most!
Now, in Yu Hongye’s mind, Liu Changgong’s figure was already infinitely large, making it impossible for her to have any thoughts of resisting!
However, right at this moment, the spiritual energy in Yu Hongye’s body was also fully mobilized!
A wave of aura that only cultivators could feel rose from Yu Hongye’s body!
Wang Yuyan, who was focused on her opponent, immediately noticed Yu Hongye’s strange behavior, and her eyes immediately focused.
‘This guy… is actually going to break through again?’
Speaking of which, Wang Yuyan and Yu Hongye spent the same amount of time in the Immortal’s Destiny Small Shop.
Both women had obtained a lot of opportunities!
Moreover, their cultivation levels had always been about the same.
At this moment, they were both at the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage, just one step away from the door!
Now, under the pressure of playing chess with Liu Changgong, the barrier of cultivation in Yu Hongye’s body was finally broken!
At this moment, a sense of crisis suddenly emerged in Wang Yuyan’s heart!
Although Liu Changgong had told them that he didn’t want to see them fighting each other, he didn’t say that they couldn’t compete in cultivation levels!
Moreover, Wang Yuyan and Yu Hongye were very similar in every aspect!
They were equally beautiful and each had their own merits!
Their cultivation levels were the same, and their family statuses were almost the same!
They were also serving as maids in Liu Changgong’s small shop, so they could not suppress their competitive mentality!
Just as Wang Yuyan felt a sense of crisis in her heart, Yu Hongye’s cultivation level finally broke through after suppressing it for a moment!
A powerful aura spread out.
Huang Ze, Shang Chan, and even the little fox, Su Yue, all felt the message of this breakthrough!
Coincidentally, Liu Changgong suddenly smiled!
The few of them looked at each other. This was… Senior Liu was very satisfied with Hongye?
Huang Ze silently looked at Yu Hongye, who was opposite Liu Changgong. He realized that she did not even realize that she had broken through!
She was still fully immersed in the game of chess and was still bitterly persisting!
Huang Ze thought to himself for a moment and suddenly understood!
‘Senior doesn’t actually oppose immortal cultivators. In fact, he would be very happy when someone close to him breaks through.’
‘However, Senior’s happiness this time is clearly not because of Mr. Hongye’s breakthrough, but because she was playing chess without any distractions even when she was on the way to breaking through!’
After figuring out this layer, Huang Ze finally understood Liu Changgong’s personality!
That was, he would appreciate people who were focused even more!
If he were to delve deeper into the Dao of chefs in the future, would Senior be very satisfied with him?
At that moment, Huang Ze had an epiphany. After a moment, he no longer paid attention to Hongye’s breakthrough. Instead, he focused on comprehending the Dao rhythm!
The essence of Dao that emanated from Liu Changgong’s body still lingered in this room!
Under this essence of Dao, cultivating for one more second was a huge gain!
On the other side, Liu Changgong’s face revealed a smile. It was indeed because of the chess game, but it was not what Huang Ze had thought. It was because Yu Hongye was focused on playing the game and was happy!
It was because Liu Changgong had already completely seen through this game!
What did he mean by completely seeing through it?
It meant that no matter what the next move or next move was…
Until the end of this game, there would be a maximum of thirty moves!
Liu Changgong had completely seen through it!
Every possibility after every move, Liu Changgong had completely figured out in less than twenty-five minutes!
This also meant that no one in Hong Ye’s position would be able to beat him in a game of chess!
Suddenly, a soft sound in the mind of Liu Changgong sounded!
