Open up and break into another world

Purple Cloud Garden.

It is a place where the disciples of the Vault of Heaven Sect usually rest.

Golden-robed disciples, purple-robed disciples, and blue-robed disciples all come here to drink tea and discuss Dao.

Speaking of drinking tea and discussing Dao, to put it bluntly, it's just… a place for low-level disciples to watch high-level disciples show off!

When there are no golden-robed disciples present, the purple-robed disciples are the focus of attention—a group of blue-robed disciples will surround a purple-robed disciple, watching him show off like stars surrounding the moon!

And when there are golden-robed disciples present, the purple-robed and blue-robed disciples undoubtedly center around the golden-robed disciples, admiringly watching them show off!

And today, the only focus of the entire Purple Cloud Garden is undoubtedly… Huang Gugang!

Huang Gugang was sitting there with a big belly, his legs crossed high, his body leaning back slightly, holding a cup of steaming tea in his hand.

Around Huang Gugang, several purple-robed disciples were sitting upright, with a few expressions of admiration. As for the other blue-robed disciples, they didn't even have the qualifications to sit, and could only stand around, listening to Huang Gugang's grand pronouncements.

“Senior Brother Huang, congratulations on regaining the throne of ‘First Disciple’!” A purple-robed disciple said flatteringly.

Huang Gugang waved his hand and said disdainfully: “I just deliberately let Xu Ming have the throne of First Disciple for a few days! If I really want to take it back, it would naturally be easy for me to take it back!”

“How can Xu Ming compare with you, Senior Brother Huang!”

“Heh!” Huang Gugang smiled faintly and said, “I originally thought that after hearing the news, Xu Ming would have the courage to compete with me for the ‘First Disciple’ again! But I didn’t expect that Xu Ming didn’t even dare to show his face—he said he was in seclusion, but is he really in seclusion?”

The surrounding purple-robed disciples echoed in a timely manner: “Xu Ming must know that he is inferior, so he dare not come out!”

“Ha!” Huang Gugang shook his head and smiled, his expression full of disdain, as if Xu Ming couldn’t even enter his eyes.

In fact, when Huang Gugang regained the throne of “First Disciple”, he was still very worried that Xu Ming would pop up and snatch the “First Disciple” away! However, after a few years passed, Xu Ming didn’t make any movements at all, and Huang Gugang gradually became more and more arrogant!

Moreover, Huang Gugang became more and more certain of his original guess—Xu Ming’s limit was 91,301 rounds, and he was just pretending to have spare strength!

“Want to compete with me for the first disciple?” Huang Gugang shook his head and sneered, “Xu Ming is still a bit short!”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

The surrounding flattering purple-robed and blue-robed disciples would naturally only echo.

…

In a flash, another hundred years passed.

Xu Ming never appeared.

Within the Vault of Heaven Sect, there were more and more rumors that Xu Ming was inferior to Huang Gugang!

At this time, Xu Ming noticed that the Lord of Sword Songs had sent many messages to him.

“Huang Gugang has broken through the 91,302nd round and regained the throne of First Disciple?”

The Lord of Sword Songs had sent this message many times over the years. Xu Ming couldn’t help but feel speechless: “What a trivial matter! He actually sent so many messages to me!”

Immediately, Xu Ming walked out of his residence.

After taking a few steps in the Vault of Heaven Sect, Xu Ming attracted the attention of many disciples.

“Xu Ming has appeared!”

“Does he dare to go to the Heavenly Puzzle Chessboard and compete with Senior Brother Huang Gugang for the First Disciple?”

“He probably doesn’t dare, right! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been hiding for so long without showing up, right?”

“No! — Xu Ming is heading directly to the Heavenly Puzzle Chessboard! He’s going to continue solving the puzzle!”

“Quick, quick, quick! Go to the Heavenly Puzzle Chessboard and take a look!”

…

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Xu Ming's pace was relatively slow. By the time he arrived at the Heavenly Puzzle Chessboard, tens of thousands of Vault of Heaven Sect disciples had gathered here; and Huang Gugang was also present.

“Xu Ming!” Huang Gugang sneered, “I didn’t expect you to show up! I thought you would never dare to challenge the throne of ‘First Disciple’ again!”

“Challenge?” Xu Ming shook his head, “No, I’m not here to challenge!”

Not here to challenge?

Huang Gugang was stunned, then laughed loudly: “What? You don’t even have the courage to challenge me?”

Xu Ming continued to shake his head: “What I mean is… the ‘First Disciple’ is not worthy of me using the word ‘challenge’, at most it can only be regarded as ‘playing around’!”

Not a challenge, just playing around!?

What confidence!

Huang Gugang was also stunned, then angrily shouted: “Arrogant!”

Arrogant?

Xu Ming was too lazy to say more, and had already stepped onto the Heavenly Puzzle Chessboard—he really just came to “play around” with Huang Gugang this time!

“91,302nd round!”

Huang Gugang watched.

Tens of thousands of Vault of Heaven Sect disciples were also watching.

“Can Xu Ming break it?”

Huang Gugang sneered in his heart: “He can’t break it! His limit has already been reached!”

However, just at this moment…

Boom!

On the Heavenly Puzzle Chessboard, a light flashed. Before everyone could react, Xu Ming had already broken through the 91,302nd round and stood in the next round.

“What!?”

“So fast!?”

“This…”

The whole place was shocked.

However, before they could recover from the shock, the light flashed again on the Heavenly Puzzle Chessboard! — The 91,303rd round, broken!

As soon as Xu Ming appeared, he broke through two rounds in a crushing manner, without any hesitation! At the same time, he also took back the throne of “First Disciple” from Huang Gugang.

After crushing Huang Gugang by one round, Xu Ming, like last time, walked off the Heavenly Puzzle Chessboard calmly and said: “My puzzle-solving ends here.”

Fast!

Too fast!

So fast that Huang Gugang and the other Vault of Heaven Sect disciples didn’t even have time to react before the puzzle-solving was over.

All the voices questioning Xu Ming were silent at this moment!

Xu Ming only needed a few minutes to teach Huang Gugang how to be a person.

Xu Ming walked off the Heavenly Puzzle Chessboard, and when he passed by Huang Gugang, he spread his hands and said helplessly: “I said, I just came to play around!”

Saying that, Xu Ming was about to leave.

“Stop!” Huang Gugang shouted, while looking at Xu Ming with great certainty, “Xu Ming, you’ve been hiding all these years, secretly solving these two chess rounds, right?”

Huang Gugang was convinced that Xu Ming had already reached his limit; as for why Xu Ming could break two rounds in a row now, in Huang Gugang's opinion, the only explanation was—that over the past hundred years, Xu Ming had been secretly solving the Heavenly Puzzle Chessboard; only after successfully solving two rounds did he come out.

Xu Ming was speechless: Huang Gugang's imagination is really rich!

Seeing that Xu Ming didn't answer, Huang Gugang became more and more convinced that his guess was correct!

“How is it? Did I guess right? Feeling guilty?” Huang Gugang sneered, “Did you think I wouldn’t guard against you? Did you think that I haven’t been comprehending the Heavenly Puzzle Chessboard for the past hundred years? — No! To tell you the truth, I have secretly broken through to the 91,310th round! With you, you want to compete with me for the throne of ‘First Disciple’? You are far too inferior! Hahahahaha…”

Swish!

Huang Gugang flashed and stood on the Heavenly Puzzle Chessboard.
