I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 1523: Chess Game of Destiny

Chen Lin looked at the golden chessboard in front of him with a particularly solemn expression.

The chessboard was so big that he couldn't see the sides at a glance. As a result, he couldn't even see the overall situation, and it was impossible to win the chess game.

"wrong!"

Just as he was using his eyesight to observe, Chen Lin suddenly realized something was wrong.

Then he glanced at his body.

His expression suddenly changed.

I don't know when, I actually turned into a fish, which seemed real and illusory, just like the fish of destiny in the river of destiny.

Before Chen Lin could think about it, he saw the giant chessboard shaking slightly.

All the intersection points of the lines light up one after another.

But some nodes give people a sense of relaxation, and some nodes make people tremble, as if they contain great terror.

Chen Lin watched carefully.

It was difficult for him to guess the meaning of these nodes for a while, so he did not dare to act rashly.

However, he took the opportunity to gather the tentacles of destiny and grabbed the chess pieces floating around him.

The huge chessboard in front of you appeared because of this chess piece, so this chess piece must have a role.

The chess piece seems to be a mechanism.

After being caught by the tentacles, a line suddenly appeared in front of Chen Lin, firmly binding the fish of destiny he turned into.

At the same time, a colorful light group slowly rose from the middle of the giant chessboard.

A kind of enlightenment appeared in Chen Lin's mind, and he naturally understood what needed to be done.

The golden thread on the chessboard is the thread of fate.

Both his and the player's.

Their fates are intertwined, and they are both tied to this chessboard of fate.

Only one person can survive.

Whoever can reach the middle point first and obtain that ball of colored energy will seal the victory.

And he and the player each have a chess piece, and each of them has only one chance to move the piece, which can be used to block the opponent's trajectory, or to resolve the danger on his own destiny line.

The white color of the chess piece faces upward, representing vitality. The black color pointing upward represents death.

That is to say, if the chess piece is placed with the white side up on any node on the chessboard, no matter whether the node was safe or dangerous before, it will become safe.

on the contrary.

If black lands upward, the node will become a dead end regardless of its original shape.

After understanding the rules, Chen Lin became more solemn.

Unexpectedly, this third level turned out to be a life-and-death game, with no chance of using gold nightmare coins to avoid punishment.

And he hasn't seen the player yet.

Without being able to see anyone, if he wants to use chess pieces to interfere with the opponent, he can't do it. He is very passive.

But this is not a big problem.

There are two effects of chess pieces. Even if they cannot be used to interfere with the opponent, they can also be used to help yourself.

The distance from his current position to the colorful light group in the middle is very far. He has to go through many nodes along the way. Most of these nodes exude dangerous atmosphere. Even a mere chess piece cannot be used to deal with it. when the enemy.

Chen Lin forced himself to calm down.

The more nervous and panicked this situation is, the more disadvantageous it is.

After thinking about it for a while, he felt that the most important thing at the moment was to find a way to see the entire chessboard clearly.

Only in this way can we know ourselves and our enemies.

Even if you can't see the whole picture clearly, you can at least see the part from his position to the colored light group.

Because these golden lines in front of you only look like a chessboard, but are actually different from a real chessboard. They have no borders, are not square, and are very messy.

If you rush blindly, you will not only encounter danger, but also deviate from the route.

Thinking of this, Chen Lin began to experiment.

He soon discovered that the situation here was basically the same as the situation he had in his own destiny.

The swimming fish he transformed can also leap from the golden lines.

The higher you jump, the farther you can see.

It's just that this kind of jump relies only on one's own strength and cannot swim in the middle. If you want to reach a height where you can see the overall situation, you will definitely not be able to do it.

And Chen Lin didn't dare to jump too hard.

He was worried that he would jump out of the water if he pushed too hard.

The surface of the water now is not necessarily the surface of a lake. The greater possibility is that, like last time, it will deviate from the trajectory of its own destiny. It is hard to say what will happen.

More likely, he will be directly sentenced to failure.

With this idea in mind, Chen Lin jumped continuously on the spot.

While practicing your jumping skills, observe the lines in the distance.

He jumped dozens of times before stopping.

At this time, he had almost seen the lines in front of him, but he did not see the person playing chess with him.

Probably like him, he hasn't started to move forward yet.

So Chen Lin stopped delaying. After sorting it out, he determined a route and started swimming forward.

After a while, we arrived at the first node.

This node connected three lines, and the aura emanating from it was relatively peaceful. He jumped over with a slight jump.

Nothing unusual happened.

Chen Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that his sense of dangerous aura is relatively accurate, which makes it much easier to handle.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Lin followed the previously selected line and headed towards the second node.

...Above the lake.

Looking down from above, the entire lake was shrouded in a layer of golden light, making it impossible to see clearly what was happening below.

In the lake, there is a net composed of dense golden threads. Two fishes are constantly swimming and jumping on the net, heading towards the colorful light group in the center.

One of them is very small and has a very pale body. It looks like an illusion.

And the other one is huge.

Also very solid.

Every jump of this fish is powerful. Not only can it easily avoid dangers on the nodes, but its height can also bring most of the lines into view.

Both fish are bright red.

The only difference is that on the back of the little fish's neck, there is a small scale that grows in reverse direction. It is a light golden color, and when it shakes, there are faint colors emerging.

Big fish are extremely fast.

Jumping back and forth, like a good athlete, in a short while, the distance between the colorful light group and the ball was half close.

And Xiaoyu encountered a crisis.

……

Chen Lin stopped, looked solemnly, and looked at the nodes in the distance.

This node is not dangerous, but there are four lines after this node, and the four connected nodes all give him a trembling feeling.

In other words, no matter which line you choose to land on after jumping over the node, you will encounter danger.

And the situation of this chessboard is the same as his destiny, he can only move forward but not backward.

It is impossible to go back the same way and choose again.

After hesitating for a while, Chen Lin tried to manifest the river of destiny.

Previously, he was worried that his innate ability would conflict with the lines here, so he never dared to try to manifest it.

Now I have to give it a try.

A thought came to my mind.

The long river of destiny unfolds smoothly.

This surprised Chen Lin. He thought the manifestation would fail, but unexpectedly it succeeded.

As long as his natural abilities can be used, he has a lot of room for maneuver.

But immediately, Chen Lin's expression turned ugly.

The river of destiny he manifested is actually the same as the scene in the outside world!

There are also criss-crossing lines, nodes of different light and dark, and even the group of colored lights are looming!

This situation made him have to suspect that the strange sign in the lake was the embodiment of his talent. He seemed to be in the outside world, but in fact he was in the river of his destiny.

There is a high probability that the person who plays chess with him is also a person gifted with destiny.

The fate of the two of them is tied together by the treasure of destiny here, forming a situation of struggle.

The fate of the loser is likely to be swallowed up by the winner.

The origin of destiny can be plundered. Chen Lin can be sure of this because he encountered the so-called reincarnation invasion in the immortal monument space in the lower realm.

But he counterattacked and killed him.

It was precisely the reverse devouring of the source of destiny of the reincarnated power that caused the power of his natural abilities to skyrocket, which played a vital role in his subsequent cultivation path.

"Could this Treasure of Destiny be a deliberate arrangement by a certain destiny practitioner, just to swallow up the origins of other destiny practitioners in this way?"

Chen Lin thought of another possibility.

He couldn't help but feel a chill running down his spine.

This situation is very possible.

The destiny practitioner is good at controlling destiny, treasure maps, and black and white chess pieces. He can make these two seemingly unrelated items fall into his hands in different ways.

If this was a game, then his current risk factor would be at least countless times higher.

I'm afraid it will be very difficult to leave alive.

"Will it be a diviner?"

Chen Lin thought quickly in his mind, guessing who might be the organizer.

It can't be the Silver Fairy.

Although the black and white chess pieces were obtained from the opponent, the opponent is not a destiny practitioner and there is no reason to harm him.

Moreover, he also trusted Fairy Silver very much. With his character, he would not use such intrigues to deal with his apprentice.

Then the fortune teller who gave him the treasure map is questionable.

But Chen Lin thought it was unlikely.

The diviner is just a Taoist priest in the lower world. Even if he is a practitioner of destiny, his strength is not too high, and he will never be able to let him enter the urn unknowingly.

The power of destiny is not omnipotent.

It is easy to detect the destiny methods used on an ordinary cultivator, not to mention that he has mastered the laws of destiny and is a natural talent of destiny.

In order for him to fall into the trap of fate without realizing it, the unknown being's ability to control fate must be much greater than his.

A diviner cannot do this.

Who could that be?

Tianming Taoist?

Yuyangzi?

Or Jin Guanhou, and that Taoist Priest Tianji?

Suspicious names emerged in Chen Lin's mind.

But he was immediately suppressed.

It's too late to think about this now.

Even if you know what you can do, the most important thing is to find a way to get out of the predicament first.

Once again making his mind peaceful, Chen Lin put away his distracting thoughts and dispersed the long river of fate in his mind.

Continue to observe the nodes in front of you.
