Chapter 1635: Wind Arose and Rain Fell, the Destroyed Array Shakes Up the World

This stone was called the Mountain-River Stone and was crafted by a secret method. With one thought, the player could mark the stone with their own dao rune array.

Buzz—

Following Lin Xun’s move, the empty world of the Qian Palace position was suddenly enveloped by a dao rune array.

The position that seemed to be only the size of a fist was actually large enough to accommodate a huge dao rune array.

This was one of the wonders of space law.

At the Saint-King Stage, one could grasp spatial power and be able to squeeze Mount Xumi into a mustard seed and even hold miles of mountains and rivers into the palm of their hand.

Quasi-Emperors, of course, had no difficulty in mastering the secrets of space laws.

The Nine Palaces Diagram that was made out of animal skin was actually a spatial treasure.

“Little Blue Dome Forbidden Array.”

The old monsters instantly recognized the array arranged by Lin Xun and shook their heads disapprovingly. The array was far too ordinary.

Even they could easily break it, let alone Ling Xiaozi.

“The kid is too young and inexperienced.”

Many people laughed to themselves. They were more and more confident that Lin Xun would lose.

“Kid, what a lousy move!” Shun Ji cried out anxiously.

The array was too simple and wouldn’t stand a chance! He was foolish to think that this little trick could win against Ling Xiaozi.

“Elder, a true gentleman should keep silent while watching a chess game.”

Lin Xun was incredibly calm and composed.

Shun Ji glared angrily at Lin Xun, and then he couldn’t help but let out a helpless sigh. “It’s over. Not only did I lose embarrassingly, but this kid is also going to lose his Eight Spirits Ginseng and utterly humiliate himself.”

Ling Xiaozi’s expression remained calm and peaceful, and without a tinge of ridicule. He simply picked up a Go stone, and, with one thought, instilled the method of breaking the array into the stone.

PA!

When the stone clicked on the board, the large array that Lin Xun set up in the Qian Palace instantly collapsed and vanished without a trace.

There was no doubt that Lin Xun lost the first round.

“Young man, it’s still not too late to give up now,” “Ling Xiaozi uttered.

Lin Xun’s expression was neither sad nor happy as he replied, “The great dao is like a game of chess, and I am willing to be a pawn. I may move forward slowly, but I will never retreat one step.”

“Well said!” The beautiful lady in purple exclaimed, eyes alight with delight.

The other old monsters burst out laughing. No matter how great they were, words were pointless in a game of Go. Stubborn people would never give up until they hit a wall.

Ling Xiaozi said nothing else and just picked up another Go stone and placed it casually at the Kan Palace position.

A rune founder like him had thousands of rune arrays at his disposal. He could lay out a formidable array with a flip of his hand.

“Yin and Yang Reversal Array.”

Recognizing the array, the old monsters all nodded secretly. This was not a particularly complicated array, but it was difficult to break it and decipher its secret without knowledge of the rune founder level.

Even if one knew every single detail of this array, their efforts would still unlikely be successful.

This was because the array, once completed, was unpredictable and ever-changing. The array caster had complete control of the array and the greater their rune skills, the harder it would be to break the array.

Ling Xiaozi was very gracious to set up this array. He had no intention of making things difficult for Lin Xun and simply wanted to use this array to make him back out of the match.

“It’s over. I was miserably defeated by this array. This kid...”

Shun Ji could not bear to watch anymore.

But to everyone’s astonishment, Lin Xun picked up a Go stone and snapped it down.

Pa!

The stone set off wind and rain, and the broken array shook up the world!

The Yin and Yang Reversal Array which all old monsters had faith in was destroyed in an instant.

Many people couldn’t help but gasp in surprise and took a deep look at Lin Xun. No wonder this kid is so arrogant. It turns out he has some skills.

“Oh?”

Shun Ji’s jaw dropped, and he felt a little caught off guard. He never thought that Lin Xun could overcome the array set up by Ling Xiaozi so effortlessly.

“Interesting.” The eyes of the beautiful lady in purple gleamed.

The second round, Lin Xun won!

Ling Xiaozi spaced out in astonishment, but soon he regained his composure. He took a long, hard look at Lin Xun. “Little friend, it seems like you came prepared. I underestimated you before.”

“Elder, you went easy on me.”

Lin Xun was neither arrogant nor proud, neither humble nor haughty, but calm and collected.

Ling Xiaozi retracted his gaze and said aloud, “It’s your turn.”

He had decided to show Lin Xun what he got. He was a rune founder who earned his prestige after many ups and downs in his life. He would not allow all his hard work to go down the drain.

“Kid, set up a powerful one this time!” Shun Ji urged.

This irked many of the quasi-Emperors. “Old Man Shun, do you not know the rules that onlookers should not comment during a game of Go. If you make another peep, we will have to remove you.”

Shun Ji flushed and immediately went quiet.

Lin Xun seemed completely unaware of all this and thought long and hard before he made his next move.

Buzz—

A large array formed in the Gen Palace position.

Ling Xiaozi glanced at it and imperceptibly narrowed his eyes. This array is quite sophisticated. Even rune masters would struggle to set one up.

I didn’t expect this kid to actually have such mastery in the art of the runes. He is a promising young talent. Ling Xiaozi sighed in his heart, but this did not delay his next move.

From him deciding his move to him placing the Go stone to him setting up the array were all completed in one ago. He fully demonstrated the skills of a rune founder.

All the old monsters’ faces lit up with admiration. Ling Xiaozi is indeed worthy of his name. He broke the array with incredible ease like a knife cutting through butter.

In the third round, Ling Xiaozi won.

Without uttering a word, Ling Xiaozi picked up a stone and set it down on the Zhen Palace position. Amidst buzzing, a large-scale formidable array rushed forth, projecting all sorts of mysterious and unpredictable visions.

“Fantastic!”

All the old monsters cheered in their hearts. This array showed Ling Xiaozi’s wonderful true power.

Shun Jing’s face scrunched up with worry. That old guy Ling Xiaozi is clearly using his real powers now. He is not holding back and wants to scare Lin Xun off with his strength.

However, Lin Xun was unflustered. After analyzing it calmly, a slight smile curved the corners of his lips and he placed down a Go stone.

PA!

The array was broken.

Everyone’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was Ling Xiaozi’s real power. Even a rune founder would have trouble breaking it.

But Lin Xun destroyed it so easily?

“Aha?”

Shun Ji couldn’t hold it and screamed out again. His gaze changed when he looked at Lin Xun, tinged with a touch of delight and excitement, as if he had found a treasure.

I didn’t expect this kid to be concealing his strength!

He had to be at least at the level of rune founder if he was able to break the array set up by Ling Xiaozi with such ease, right?

At least, Shun Ji knew that he himself would not succeed in doing so.

There was a stunned silence in the area. All gazes shifted to Lin Xun.

Before this, they all regarded Lin Xun as a junior who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. Although they showed no contempt or disdain towards him, they did think he was too young and naive and did not know what’s good for him.

Only now did they realize that the young man whom they regarded as a junior actually had a deep mastery in the art of runes.

At least, he was much better than the rubbish Go player Shun Ji!

However, even so, they still had absolute confidence in Ling Xiaozi. In the entire Great Emperor Pass, who did not know that Ling Xiaozi’s accomplishments and skills in the art of runes were unrivaled?

Ling Xiaozi spaced out once again.

He did not hold back at all this time. His move was the dao rune array that he was best at, but even so, it was still destroyed. This only proved that the young opponent was extraordinary!

Collecting himself, he drew a deep breath and assumed a serious expression.

Lin Xun’s performance successfully ignited a fire within him and sparked a fighting spirit that he had not felt in a long, long time.

It was lonely and quiet being invincible.

Now, he finally found a worthy opponent!

Many people were keenly aware of the change in Ling Xiaozi’s expression, which prompted them to take another look at Lin Xun. This kid...is indeed unexpected.

Lin Xun seemed completely unaware of all this, and he was completely immersed in the Go game in front of him.

If Ling Xiaozi’s fighting spirit was ignited after finally meeting his match, then Lin Xun developed the desire to win after feeling the thrill of the match.

In ancient times, a hundred schools of thought contended, and thousands of daos competed.

Now, he wanted to compete with Ling Xiaozi with his knowledge in the art of runes.

Soon, Lin Xun made his move, and a large array appeared at the Xun Palace position. It was as obscure and elusive as fog.

This time, Ling Xiaozi took around the time it took to burn an incense stick to think carefully before a serious look passed over his face. He picked up a Go stone and destroyed the array.

Immediately after that, he began to set up an array.

The area fell silent, and everyone couldn’t help but shuffle nervously. Their attention was completely concentrated on the game. Everyone could see that Ling Xiaozi was unquestionably strong.

But similarly, Lin Xun should not be underestimated!

At this moment, Shun Ji’s emotions were undoubtedly the most complex. He felt uneasy, anxious, excited, surprised, delighted...and a bit of everything.

When Lin Xun first came to the Great Emperor Pass, Shun Ji only treated him as a junior. But who would have thought that this junior would give him such a surprise?

Even so, it was hard to not feel nervous. After all, he had lost to Ling Xiaozi several times over the years, and everyone knew how strong he was.

PA!

An hour later, Lin Xun broke the array set up by Ling Xiaozi, shocking the audience

At this point, they had played six rounds.

Lin Xun had three wins and three losses.

Ling Xiaozi also had three wins and three losses. The two were evenly matched and both refused to give in to each other.

This sort of situation had never happened before in the Great Emperor Pass. Who would have imagined that a young junior could hold his own against Ling Xiaozi?

Suddenly, everyone’s attitude towards Lin Xun changed.

Some old monsters started to worry. If Ling Xiaozi lost, then that would prove their narrow vision and that they failed to recognize a talent.

In the seventh round, it was Lin Xun’s turn to set up an array. This time, it took him three hours of thinking and analyzing before he finally decided on a move.

During that process, the atmosphere grew increasingly silent and tense.

Even Saint-Kings and quasi-Emperor felt their mouths go dry.

Such a match rarely came by!
