Chapter 330 - 311: Five Elements Buddha Defeats Bo Yikao
The tale goes that after playing chess against Xuan Ming for a hundred years, Bo Yikao reaped considerable benefits, feeling the Mana within him changing and the operation of the Heavenly Dao Laws unfolding before his eyes.
This game of chess took so long to complete that it is no wonder there are stories told of a woodcutter who saw two old men playing chess in the mountains. He squatted down to watch them play a game, and by the time he came down from the mountain, he found that a full one hundred years had passed, and all his family and friends had aged and died.
If a mortal were to witness the chess match between Xuan Ming and Bo Yikao, they would experience the same, but a person proficient in chess would greatly benefit from it; their Cultivation Level could soar, and their chess skills would improve immensely.
"Very good! I can already feel the operation of the Heavenly Dao Laws. After a few more years of seclusion, I will be able to attempt ascending to the Realm of the Heavenly Dao Saint!" Bo Yikao said slowly.
Meanwhile, Kong Xuan was also in the midst of an attempt to reach the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm, surrounded by swirling Five-Colored Divine Light and the flow of the Five Elements Qi, both extremely majestic.
"Excellent! After facing the tribulation of returning from death this time, I gained a greater understanding of the Heavenly Dao! I am surely to be the ninth Heavenly Dao Saint!" Kong Xuan laughed heartily. He retracted all of the Five-Colored Divine Light and began to ponder the Heavenly Dao Laws, feeling the pull of the Heavenly Dao as his Primordial Spirit was about to ascend.
What a splendid strife it was, with masters of all paths eagerly coming forward to vie for supremacy.
Primordial Golden Immortals from the last convergence all had hopes of ascending to the Heavenly Dao Saint status, and thus, grand battles unfolded on the Heaven and Earth arena.
"Haha, haha! Brother Bo Yikao, it seems inevitable that we must engage in a contest. Who would have thought that this Heavenly Dao karma would fall upon us two." On the same day, Kong Xuan and Bo Yikao each entrusted their Primordial Spirits to the Heavenly Dao Laws, drawing upon the Heavenly Dao karma. A great karma descended; one of them would have to retreat from the Realm of the Heavenly Dao Saint.
"Five Elements Buddha, this battle must take place. Let’s stop at a hit!" Bo Yikao said.
"We’ll stop at a hit." Kong Xuan agreed.
