The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 844 Yao Ji
puff!
This incredibly fast blade light finally pierced through Zhao Chen's chest...

However, after it broke three defensive treasures in succession and had most of its power consumed by the magical body of the heroine "Tang Miao", it was already at the end of its strength and was not enough to cause fatal damage to Zhao Chen, so the "dragon scale necklace" given by the white-clothed dragon girl was not activated.

“But it hurts!

"Moreover, the blood demon power contained in this attack is still polluting my inner world. If it weren't for the 'Five Emperors Demon Controlling Spiritual Sound' that has been operating on its own, I'm afraid the situation would be even worse...

"But if I don't have special means of healing, I won't be able to use my full strength for at least a month."

Zhao Chen had just thought of this, and before he could confirm the results of his "Shenxiao Purple Thunder", he saw the surrounding scene begin to distort and deform, as if the "yin and yang" inside them were disordered and were about to be restored and reorganized.

The next moment, the hundreds of feet long lotus pond disappeared, and the forest in the back garden of the imperial palace also disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by the large bathing pool that Zhao Chen saw when he first entered the secret realm.

Zhao Chen himself was stunned to find that his clothes disappeared one by one, and his whole body was immersed in the bathing water again.

Then, familiar and unfamiliar bodies surrounded him, some resting their heads on his shoulders, some sitting on his waist, some hugging their arms, and some...

This made Zhao Chen feel a little absurd. After all, he was fighting for his life not long ago, but now he started to enjoy himself?

However, Zhao Chen has used the "Star Raft" to confirm that this is not an illusion, and he is not a dream body, but his real body is here, and his injuries are recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His true energy gradually filled up, the three souls and seven spirits in his inner world became active again, and the blood demon pollution in his body was also removed bit by bit...

Obviously, this "game" is restoring his state through the "harmony of yin and yang".

"Is this also a 'clearance' reward? Although it is common sense to replenish the red and blue after clearing the game, this is a bit too exciting!

"Well, 'The Chess of Yao Chi'... There are indeed many such stories in the legends of the Yao Chi lineage...

"Whether it was King Mu of Zhou meeting the Queen Mother of the West or King Xiang of Chu and the Queen Mother of the West's daughter having 'clouds and rain at Wushan', they were all very similar to what was happening right before our eyes."

While Zhao Chen was daydreaming, the people sitting on his waist changed one after another, until his energy and spirit reached the peak and the injuries caused by Mr. Lingyun were all healed. Then the beauties in the bathing pool left one after another, leaving only a dignified, elegant and extremely beautiful woman sitting at a small table on the other side of the pool.

It was not until this moment that Zhao Chen regained control of his body.

He immediately put on the clothes he had taken off, and after a moment's hesitation, he walked to the woman and sat on the other side of the small table.

Zhao Chen glanced at the small table and saw a Go board on it, but there was no Go piece on it.

"My name is Yao Ji, and I'm here to meet you, sir." The woman said lightly when she saw Zhao Chen sitting down.

It's called a greeting, but there isn't the slightest hint of "greeting".

Yao Ji? The goddess Yao Ji? The Yao Ji who helped King Yu control the flood? I really have a deep connection with her...

Zhao Chen had many thoughts in his mind, but he nodded in return, saying, "Miss, you're welcome... Are you the designer of this 'Yao Chi Chess' game?" "To be precise, I'm the reward for completing the game." The woman who called herself Yao Ji looked into Zhao Chen's eyes without any change in her expression, "But you're not the destined person I thought you were... Although you have the spirit of an emperor, you don't have the fate of an emperor."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "But since you have completed the test and are the descendant of Taichu, I should indeed serve you as my master."

It sounds like you are still very reluctant... Zhao Chen muttered inwardly, and no longer wanted to beat around the bush, and asked directly: "Then how can I subdue the 'Yaochi Chess'?"

Or, how to subdue you?
Yao Ji was silent for a few seconds, then replied, "You may have made a mistake. I am not the spirit of the 'Yao Chi Chess' or the chess itself. I am also its creation... However, unlike the creations corresponding to the 'chess pieces', I am the 'chessboard'."

As she spoke, she pointed to the jade chessboard on the small table, pursed her lips and said, "It is the embodiment of 'Yaochi Chess'. It is already yours, just take it away.

"However, at your current level, you are still unable to unleash the power of this treasure."

Her tone was still awkward, but she still responded to Zhao Chen's question "honestly". It was obvious that her statement of "having already recognized the master" was not a lie.

Hearing this, Zhao Chen opened his "Dongxu Eye" and looked at the chessboard for a few seconds, then touched its surface with his hand.

The next moment, countless pieces of information poured into Zhao Chen's mind through contact, perfecting the "introduction" of his new collection.

“I see… This ‘inherited’ treasure of the Kunlun Yaochi lineage is not only powerful, but also contains many Yaochi-related inheritances.

"The first is the great magical power of 'Light in the Dark Night'... I don't need to obtain it separately. A large part of the 'chess of Yaochi' itself explains its way of creation of 'differentiation of yin and yang'.

"Tsk, I finally understand what 'yin and yang differentiation' is and what 'fate' is...

"From a metaphysical point of view, Tao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things.

"To put it in an easy-to-understand way, the Yao Chi lineage defines 'yin and yang' as the 'binary' code that edits everything in the world.

“Everything in this secret realm is compiled using the Yin-Yang binary system. Although they are real, they are virtual realities.

"That's why we can switch scenes and travel through time at will...

"If 'Yaochi Chess' is regarded as a server, then this secret realm is the large virtual reality space it weaves.

"And 'Kaimingmon' is a special 'chess piece' that has a soul and life. It is equivalent to the 'Digimon' in an animation I watched in my previous life...

“Of course, a spiritual ‘divine beast’ like the ‘Kai Ming Beast’ that can move in Xuan Tian and is comparable to Sheng Xuan can only be created by the Taoist Master Taichu or the ancestor of the Yao Chi lineage using the ‘Yao Chi Chess’.

“For example, the characters in this secret realm were created by a powerful being using formations to activate the ‘Yao Chi Chess’, but except for Yao Ji, the other fake chess pieces would not even be able to maintain their form once they leave here.

"Heh, that is to say, even if someone kills the enlightened beast guarding the secret realm, there won't be much 'flesh and blood' that can actually be obtained, because most of it is made from the 'yin and yang' here, and Xuantian won't recognize it!"
