Chess skills are the ability to perform mental calculations.

Ning Fan's mind is not weak, and he has chess skills inherited from ancient times, but he can't even take advantage of the black-robed man in front of him.

Can Meng said that every day, the middle-aged man in Longpao would play seven games of chess with him.

No more, no less, and no matter what Ning Fan asked, the middle-aged man didn't answer.

On the first day, in the first six games, Ning Fan and the middle-aged man were evenly matched, winning three games each, but lost in the seventh game.

On the second day, Ning Fan was determined to win and won three games in a row. However, in the last four games, he was defeated by the middle-aged man one after another.

Ning Fan frowned, this was already the third day.

He didn't know why he fell into this dream, but he could feel that the middle-aged man in black robe opposite him had no ill intentions towards him.

Who is this person? Why was he trapped in the black starlight and fell into a residual dream? He played chess with this person for three days!

"What is the black starlight... This person claims that chess skills are star skills, what does this mean?"

Ning Fan frowned, put down the chess piece, and stood up to leave.

"I can't stand anymore!"

"Oh? It's interesting. I actually gave up the desire to win or lose. However, just that, I can't see the mystery of this game. Butterfly boy, do you want to escape? I didn't see you running away when I faced the palm of my hand that day.

…”

"Who on earth are you!"

"I am the one who taught you the art of stars!"

"Star Technique?" Ning Fan was startled. Star Technique is an extremely advanced healing technique, and he naturally knows it.

only…

"It's just, why should I learn!"

"My Star Technique is the Black Star Technique. It has the effect of regenerating bones and flesh, and resurrecting the dead... Do you really not want to learn this technique?"

The middle-aged man twirled his beard and said calmly.

"If you want to learn, then sit down! If you don't want to learn, you can leave! It's just that you are slightly cold, but I'm afraid you will never come back to life!"

“…”

Ning Fan looked deeply at the middle-aged man. This man appeared deliberately, this dream appeared strange, and this man seemed to know him well.

Is he an inner demon or an illusion? Is he a fictional character in a dream, but a remnant of real existence?

I tried to break the dream and leave, but still couldn't leave.

It seemed that if he did not satisfy this middle-aged man, he would never leave Can Meng.

"I'll see how you teach me the Star Technique!" Ning Fan sat down on the stone bench again, but this time, when he pushed the chessboard, he held a black piece.

"Children can be taught..."

The middle-aged man in black robe nodded, but he was not in a hurry to make a move, but he had some instructions.

"The art of chess is the art of stars, and the chessboard is life. It is an illusion, it is difficult to distinguish between black and white, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. But one thing is, don't be obsessed with the words black and white... black and white are meaningless!"

With a flick of his sleeves, the chessboard was dotted with stars, as bright as the Milky Way.

This chessboard and chess pieces are all transformed by starlight. The silver starlight is white pieces, and the black starlight is black pieces. But with a thought in middle age, the starlight is reversed from black to white!

"On the first day, you didn't put victory or defeat into your eyes, but I went all out and ended up with defeat!"

"On the second day, you were bent on winning. You won three games in a row, but your mood was confused. You lost four games miserably and ended up losing."

"But you have to know that life is a game of chess. The key to victory or defeat is not who wins more, but... who wins the last game! Even if you win six games in a row, once the final battle is over, the world will still be in jeopardy.

Lord...this is the chess of life! And the chess of star magic..."

"You can take that sunspot and think about it carefully. Broaden your horizons. There are more than just bright stars in the sky! The star gate has opened. It's time for me to leave... There is no next round today. I can't bear it.

, what a pity!”

boom--

Can Meng collapsed, and on this third day, the game ended without even a single game.

Ning Fan suddenly opened his eyes, and the starlight that was originally wrapped around him turned into a black starlight chess piece, falling on the palm of his hand.

With something in mind, he patted the storage bag again and took out the jade box containing the key to the Star Palace. The key was missing.

"The key disappeared, and the black starlight condensed into chess pieces... This black chess piece is the key to obtaining the Star of the Emperor of Heaven! The Star of the Emperor of Heaven is the ability to control the black starlight... the art of starlight!"

Ning Fan spat out his palm force, and the black chess piece immediately disappeared into his palm.

Looking again at the female corpse entangled in the starlight, within three days, all the decay of the body had disappeared, and she looked like a living person, but there was still no sign of life. All this was because she had no soul.

Under the starlight, the palace dress of the female corpse swayed, exquisite and quality.

Under the tightly closed eyes, there seemed to be a pool of autumn water hidden, and the pale face was half red.

She stood in the wind, her graceful figure seemed to be dancing in the wind.

She hasn't opened her eyes yet, but she already has a look and feel of pity.

Originally, the aura in the middle stage of divine transformation was only enough to upgrade her to the later stage... Tempered Star Zizhi, but with the recovery of the sea of ​​consciousness, the aura of the female corpse still had a tendency to improve.

"The Sea of ​​Consciousness is being repaired!"

Ning Fan's eyes narrowed, and he knew that the female corpse was probably at the end of the last critical step - the restoration of the sea of ​​consciousness!

If she can repair her sea of ​​consciousness, even if she is a corpse demon, she can still regain her previous memories!

The female corpse at this moment cannot be disturbed!

Bang!

Below, in the center of the star island, the gap between the star gates that was tightly closed began to tremble and open.

A huge storm swept through the sky, but when it hit the female corpse, Ning Fan waved his sleeves to block it.

No! Don’t allow anything to disturb Wei Liang’s recovery from the sea of ​​consciousness!

Ouch!

In the distance, two groups of eagles and falcon beasts were fighting over the corpse of a huge sea beast.

As the battle approached, dense hawks and beasts flew towards the female corpse unconsciously.

"Anyone who comes thirty thousand miles away from me...die!"

Ning Fan did not kill, he only said a faint word, but his evil aura was shocking.

Under this cold threat, these innocent star beasts immediately showed frightened expressions and left in a hurry.

The female corpse has consciousness and is still recovering.

But after burning the incense, as usual, there were seven or eight holes in the void above the star island.

Last time, there were eight holes, seven were healed, and one was not healed, so it entered the Purple Clothes Palace.

This time, eight holes were broken, five were healed, and three were unhealed. Three forces entered the Star Palace!

"Haha! I, the Snow Sword Sect, have finally entered this place. Besides the Ziyi Palace, I should be the second one to enter the palace, right?"

"Second? That's not necessarily true. The speed of my Shadow Valley is no slower than that of your Snow Sword Sect."

"Hmph! What's the point of arguing about this? The one who finally wins the Star of Heavenly Emperor must be my Yuzhimen!"

Three major forces, hundreds of Nascent Souls, and 19 transformed gods entered this place!

These three sects are not as powerful as the Ziyi Palace, but they are not weak.

Before the masters of the three sects could show off a few more words, they saw a man and a woman standing strangely in the sky. The woman's appearance was peerless, and her body was covered by starlight. She was actually using the starlight to heal her injuries.

The man's eyes were gloomy. When he saw the masters of the three sects arriving, he immediately slapped his storage bag and held a bloody sword with soaring energy. Like a demon, he drew out the soul with one palm of his hand without hesitation, pouring mana into the sword light!

"Go back!"

One sword, covering the sky with blood!

Under this sword light, all three sects' Nascent Souls died tragically. However, before the 19 transformed gods could stand firm, they saw the bloody sword light rising into the sky. They were immediately frightened and rushed out of the star palace desperately!

Even if the 11 early stagers escaped very fast, their bodies would all collapse, leaving only their souls!

Even if the six mid-level players were prepared, they were all seriously injured by this sword and coughed up blood.

The three late-stage warriors, whose cultivation levels were already astonishing to the world, were seriously injured by this sword. They managed to escape from the Star Palace with frightened expressions on their faces.

"Half-step virtual treasure's blood sword! This person obviously only has the cultivation level of the early stage of divine transformation, but he has the magic power of the late stage of divine transformation by drawing souls! With the late stage magic power, even if he holds the half-step virtual treasure, he will be injured even at the peak of divine transformation!

We are really lucky to have escaped with our lives!"

"This person is guarding the Star Gate... Could it be that he is Lu Bei who destroyed the masters of the Purple Clothes Palace!"

The masters of the three sects are already frightened.

This star palace is far more dangerous than they imagined. The Star of the Emperor of Heaven is not something they can fight for!

"Hateful! Withdraw!"
