Chapter 374 The World as Your Chessboard
The others were speechless . It seemed like Lu Ping was disregarding the Luo Sect . However, they were not in the position to comment . After bringing in so many bosses, it was only right for Lu Ping to see them off . They could not exactly charge ahead and fight to the death .
Hua Wudao was the last one to leave the holy land . He did not say much . He merely cupped his fists at everyone else before rising into the air .
Yun Tianluo cupped his fists and said, “Brother Ji, we shall meet again . ”
“We shall meet again . ”
The two bosses looked at each other from a distance .
At this moment, Lu Ping replaced Mingshi Yin and manned the helm in his stead . The cloud-splitting chariot passed through the barriers via another route . Eventually, the cloud-splitting chariot vanished in the horizons .
The disciples of the Three Sects felt relieved .
The patriarch, Yun Tianluo, shook his head with a sigh . “Nan Gongwei, Yun Wuji, Feng Yizhi…”
The sect masters were startled . They hastily went up to their patriarch and fell to their knees .
The other disciples dared not say anything . They merely stood at the side respectfully .
“Are my words… meaningless now?” Yun Tianluo asked .
“Never, patriarch!” Nan Gongwei said .
“Do you know what was sealed within that chessboard?” Yun Tianluo’s voice was gentle now .
The three of them shook their heads .
Yun Tianluo looked at the three of them and could not help but shake his head .
“I don’t know . ” Nan Gongwei had been watching while the two of them were having the match . He saw the energy blades in the skies and the brightness of the veins on the ground . He merely felt that it was an exchange of ordinary skills . He did not think that it was anything special . Yun Tianluo shook his head again . He looked at the three sect masters and sighed heavily . “This is the reason why I’m not passing the chessboard to you . The thing that’s sealed within is my secret of attempting the Nine-leaf stage . ”
“Patriarch!” Nan Gongwei, Yun Wuji, and Feng Yizhi cried out in unison and shuddered . They prostrated themselves and kowtowed . To think that their patriarch had given such an important thing to an outsider instead of the Three Sects . Imagine the thoughts in these three individuals’ minds .
“Why?” Nan Gongwei rose to his feet abruptly with a complicated gaze .
“Because… you lot aren’t worthy!”
Yun Tianluo waved his sleeve and turned around . He looked energetic, as though he had a surge of strength before his death .
Yun Tianluo said, “Throughout the years that I’ve cultivated in seclusion, I’ve been thinking about what went wrong… I considered everything that I could think of and even sealed my memories . After fussing over it for a millennium, I suddenly understood something in a blink of an eye…” He paused slightly before continuing, “Difficult questions should be solved by intelligent men . ”
Many cultivators disliked revealing their own insights and experiences of breakthroughs to the others . Many a time, the cultivation notes of grand cultivators would be more precious than high-tier cultivation methods .
However, Yun Tianluo had been enlightened . It was extremely simple . Since he could achieve the breakthrough, why should he hoard his knowledge instead of giving it to someone who might have a chance?
‘It was like what Brother Ji said . Who says that everything is absolute? There has to be a way . There was nothing impossible!’ This was the reason he chose to have the match with Lu Zhou . It was not complicated at all . In fact, it was simple .

If he had given the chessboard to the three sect masters, he would not be giving them a great gift; he would only be granting them a quick death!
“Patriarch, is that why you chose to have the match with the Evil Sky Pavilion?” Nan Gongwei asked, puzzled .
“That’s right . ” Yun Tianluo turned around slowly and said, “Do you know why I told you to kowtow and apologize to Brother Ji?”
The three of them shook their heads again .
This time, even the Sword Saint Luo Shisan who had a sour expression and was sitting nearby looked in their directions .
Yun Tianluo continued, “I have a feeling… Perhaps, he’ll find a way to attain the Nine-leaf stage . ”
When he said this .
The entire holy land fell silent .
Everyone looked at their patriarch, Yun Tianluo, with a shocked expression on their faces . If anyone else had said this, no one would take it seriously . In fact, they would even ridicule the person . However, the person who said such words was Yun Tianluo, the Patriarch of the Three Sects .
“How’s that possible?” Nan Gongwei asked incredulously . “Brother Ji is older than I am… However, when we had a match earlier, I could see an endless source of energy from him . This shouldn’t be possible for someone whose great limit is approaching . ”
Waves of fear rose in the hearts of the three sect masters . They were reminded of how the Sword Saint Luo Shisan, who launched an attack with a force that could shock the heavens and the earth and made gods and devils cry, was easily defeated by a single move from the Evil Sky Pavilion’s Master . This… Was this something that someone whose great limit was approaching was capable of?
“You were in the wrong . Even if you’re right, you still have to swallow your pride!” Yun Tianluo said before he turned around and walked to the edge of the holy land .

The three of them were perplexed .
The other disciples said in unison, “Rest well, patriarch!”
The cloud-splitting chariot passed through dozens of barriers . It left the 20 peaks behind and was out of the sea of clouds that obscured their sights .
Little Yuan’er scratched her head . She was thinking about what Mingshi Yin said earlier . She asked, “Master… if Fourth Senior Brother has a point, why didn’t we wipe out the Yun Sect?” .
Lu Ping stumbled, he nearly lost his footing .
The cloud-splitting chariot jolted slightly .
“I’m sorry…” Lu Ping wanted to slap himself . ‘Why did I volunteer to send these bosses off? Did my brain go on a holiday? However, if I had stayed back, those dumb Luo Sect’s elders would certainly blame me for this incident . It’s not too bad to leave and listen to the bosses’ golden words . ’
Little Yuan’er suddenly added, “Take this man at the helm, for example… Shouldn’t he be chopped into tiny pieces?” .
The flying chariot jolted again . Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he looked out at the sea of clouds .
“The little girl has indeed matured compared to before . At the very least, she understood Mingshi Yin’s words . ’ If she understood the words, it meant her principles were right .
Without waiting for a reply from Lu Zhou, Mingshi Yin said with a smile, “Little Junior Sister, that’s the Three Sects’ territory… There are dozens of barriers and many elites . There’s no need to have a complete fallout with them . What must be said, must be said… Otherwise, if words of this go out, everyone might think that the Evil Sky Pavilion is just a big pushover . ”
“Oh . ”

“Also, we must consider Yun Tianluo’s pride . The heavens and the earth had been transformed into the chessboard on which they pitched their skills against each other . He spent 20 years of his life to answer master’s question . We’re a reasonable bunch, aren’t we?” Mingshi Yin said .
Little Yuan’er nodded like a chick pecking on grains . “I get it now… Thank you, master . ” Mingshi Yin scratched his head . ‘Shouldn’t it be ‘Thank you, senior brother’?’
Lu Ping was puzzled . ‘Aren’t the bosses supposed to be discussing the Nine-leaf stage or the great limit? Why are they talking about these things instead?’
“Ding! Instructing Ci Yuan’er . Reward: 100 merit points . ” Lu Zhou turned to look . He nodded slightly . At this moment, Lu Ping pointed to a black area below the flying chariot and said, “Something’s not right . ”
Mingshi Yin swiftly leaped to the edge of the flying chariot . He peered over the edge . After he had taken a look, he said, “Master, there’s a huge area with withering greeneries . ”
Lu Zhou stood up with his hands on his back as he walked up to the side and looked down .
Leng Luo, Pan Litian, and Hua Wudao peered over the edge as well .
The trees on the mountain had withered… The landscape seemed devoid of life .
“Slow down . ”
“At once . ” The flying chariot slowed down . It lowered its altitude as well . It flew slowly among the withered trees .
