Deep in the Imperial Road.

Mengtian walked a total of ten steps in the Imperial Road when he felt dizzy and then lost consciousness.

When Mengtian opened his eyes again, he was surprised to find that he was now in a dark and chaotic space. Although the space was very dark, Mengtian was surprisingly able to see this space clearly.

Clearly.

Mengtian could even see the flow of air floating in the space with his naked eyes.

However, when Mengtian raised his head and looked upward, he was stunned because he saw a sight that he would never see in his life.

........

Above this space, there is a huge chessboard made of blue light. This chessboard is tens of thousands of feet in size. However, what stands on the chessboard are not chess pieces, but flickering chessboards.

Stars with all kinds of light!

Mengtian was stunned. Looking at this scene, he finally knew what it meant to be shocked by "the stars on the chessboard made by heaven"!

This is a real chessboard with the sky as the chessboard and the stars as the chess pieces. But Mengtian doesn’t know the purpose of this chessboard here. Is it because of a test?

But Ren Mengtian couldn't figure out the connection between this chessboard and the history books.

"Buzz..."

However, when Mengtian raised his head and looked at the chessboard carefully, there was a buzzing sound in Mengtian's ears, and then Mengtian was shocked to find that the chessboard disappeared in the sky.

However, when Mengtian lowered his head, he saw that the chessboard was at his feet!

...

"I wonder if this little friend is interested in playing a game of destiny chess with me?"

And it was at this moment that an old voice suddenly sounded in this space, making Mengtian tremble all over and look at the opposite side of the chessboard with horrified eyes.

There, an old figure in a white robe was looking at him with a smile.

Mengtian could not help but be horrified. He was not even aware of the old man's appearance! Even if it was a ray of remnant soul, Mengtian could detect the spatial fluctuations when he appeared, but now...

Two words emerged in Mengtian's heart: Huangji!

And as if to verify what Meng Tian was thinking, the old man in the middle took a step forward and happened to stand in the empty space opposite the chess game.

"I am Huang Ji, and as you think, I am just a remnant soul."

Mengtian was shocked. He could actually know what I was thinking? Isn't this too outrageous?

However, Huang Ji seemed to be deliberately teasing Mengtian.

"Haha... It's not outrageous at all. And, I also know that your name is Mengtian, well, you are the current master of the Sky-Slaying Sword and Heavenly Prison..."

Mengtian suddenly took two steps back and looked at the old guy in disbelief.

"Oh, it seems there is another thing... it will be similar to the history books..."

However, Mengtian didn't pay attention to the old man's words at all, but was thinking about his previous sentence.

Could it be that the previous Master of the Sky-Slaying Sword and the Master of Heavenly Prison also came here? But how is this possible?

"No, no, no, they haven't been here before. You misunderstood what I meant. What I said was that the Sky-Slaying Sword and the Heavenly Prison came out from my place..."

This emperor seems to be afraid that others will misunderstand his meaning.

"Forehead……"

Mengtian was even more confused. Did the Heaven-Slaying Sword and Heavenly Prison come out from here? How is this possible...

However, Huangji didn't seem to leave Mengtian any time to think.

The emperor waved his hand, and the Tianyun chessboard started to shake. The stars moved crazily on the chessboard, and then they were quickly divided into black and red stars, which were arranged on the chessboard.

both sides of.

"call……"

Seeing this situation, Mengtian didn't think much about it. Now, it seems that he can only deal with this destiny chess game. Maybe the answer lies in this chessboard!

"Little friend, please..."

The corner of Mengtian's mouth twitched, this...how to play with this thing?

Now Mengtian just remembered that he didn’t know how to do this at all!

"Haha, don't worry, little friend. This chessboard is just like the black and white chess pieces you usually use when playing chess. Please!"

Mengtian nodded, then stretched out his hand, and the powerful soul power rushed out and landed on a red chess piece. It immediately wrapped the red star, and then lifted it with force.

Didn't even move?

"Um?"

Mengtian frowned. He thought these stars would be easy to drag, but he didn't expect them to be so heavy.

"If that doesn't work..."

Mengtian frowned, and then a light flashed in his eyes. He increased his original power from 10% to 15%, and then used his soul power to push the star forward.

"Click..."

really!

Mengtian was delighted. Although these stars could not be dragged up, they could be moved by pushing!

Huang Ji on the opposite side also stretched out his hand at this time, and then a black star was dragged up by him, and then with a fierce push, it was pushed forward. It happened to fall on the chessboard where Meng Tian had placed it.

Next to the chess piece.

Mengtian raised his hand again, and the star in front of him moved forward again, and stopped next to the black star.

Huang Ji smiled slightly and also launched a star again.

In this way, a battle of star chess, different from the chess game of life and death, unfolded.

.......

"drink!"

Mengtian shouted loudly, and the last star around him fell heavily on expectations.

"Buzz..."

At this moment, a circle of red fluctuations visible to the naked eye spread, covering the entire Tianyun chessboard, rendering the entire chessboard red.

Mengtian's last chess piece in the gap happened to be blocked on the last move. This chess game allowed Mengtian to win without any coincidence!

...

Huang Ji stroked his beard and looked at the chess game, then smiled and nodded.

"Although there are some flaws, it is the first time you have done it. To be able to achieve this level, I have to say that your talent is indeed very high. However, if you want to obtain the history book, just winning the Tianyun chess game is not enough..."

When Mengtian heard this, he couldn't help but be startled. It's not enough? So what is enough? Isn't it possible to pass the postgraduate entrance examination?

"This destiny chess game only makes you qualified to possess the history books of the years. If you want to be truly recognized by the history books of the years, you have to walk the imperial path again..."

Mengtian was startled, then turned around. Sure enough, behind Mengtian, a road shimmering with golden light appeared, leading straight into nothingness.

"This imperial road is only ten steps away..."

After saying that, Huang Ji's figure disappeared very simply, leaving only a dazed Mengtian standing there, a little at a loss.

Only ten steps away?

Mengtian looked at this imperial road and was filled with doubts.

The distance of ten steps is neither long nor continuous, neither close nor far. And when walking on this imperial road, how should we choose between ten steps?

.......

After Mengtian calmed down, he slowly raised his feet and stepped on them without any hesitation.

However, the moment Mengtian took the first step, he felt that the world was spinning in front of his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he was already on top of a sea.

The waves of the sea were rolling layer by layer under Mengtian's feet, roaring and galloping, with such momentum that it seemed as if it was going to bury the world!

Mengtian looked at the sea water, and suddenly there was a hint of enlightenment in his heart, but he couldn't explain what it was. The entanglement of trying to catch it but not being able to catch it made Mengtian feel very uncomfortable.

However, when Mengtian looked at this mess, a ridiculous idea suddenly occurred to him: Could this be the River of Time?

Even Mengtian himself was shocked by this idea. Because this place didn't look like a river, but rather like a sea.

However, Mengtian is not sure where this place is and where he is now.

.......

"Boom, boom, boom... rumbling..."

However, at this moment, huge waves rose one after another. Looking around, there were no more, no less, exactly ten!

Mengtian's heart was shocked. Ten steps...ten waves...what does this "ten" represent?

"Could it be that...the 'ten' represents ten reincarnations?"

But thinking about it carefully, Mengtian shook his head and got rid of this idea. Because the ten reincarnations are originally composed of time, that is, years, it should be impossible to let the years represent the years.
To be continued...
