Chapter 379: Chapter 336: The Birth of Three Lives Great Marsh_1
And at this moment,
in the Northern Immortal Domain,
within the Central Domain,
amongst a range of lofty mountains, a vast marsh was steaming with mist.
This place was known as the Primordial Mountain Range.
Several elders were exploring the area.
All of them were powerful members of the Ji Family!
Ever since the Ji Family had returned to the Immortal Domain and Ji Water had reappeared, this area within the Primordial Mountain Range, a great marsh, had progressively emerged.
The Ji Family placed great importance on this marsh and therefore specially dispatched strong individuals for monitoring.
“Could this really be the legendary Three Lives Great Marsh?”
One of them voiced, his expression filled with surprise and uncertainty.
In the recent month, the marsh’s range had continually expanded, its aura growing increasingly extraordinary, and it was even becoming difficult to conceal.
“After the reappearance of Ji Water, this place reemerged, and our clan’s Ji Water originated here; the Ancestor Emperor even cultivated and gained enlightenment within it… It’s very possible!”
The other elders speculated as well.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, within the turbulent vastness of the great marsh, it was as if some primordial behemoth had turned over.
It was terrifying like a mountain range, stirring up endless sludge and water!
And the fearsome creature that appeared… was a tremendous Giant Turtle!
From afar, the turtle’s shell seemed to stretch for thousands of li, an utterly terrifying sight!
The Giant Turtle seemed to have turned over, and then, within the marsh, an endless and terrifying surge of aura leaked out!
One could see that upon the turtle’s shell, the shell’s patterns were like a chessboard, crisscrossing in every direction, instantly reflecting upon the world. A terrifyingly gigantic chessboard radiated with brilliant light, appearing in the center of the great marsh!
The aura soared to the heavens, startling the world!
“This… could this possibly be that mythical beast from the legends?!”
“Carrying a naturally-formed chessboard on its back, each of its appearances astounds the world…”
“Quick, report back to our clan, report to our clan!”
The group of elders was utterly shocked as they hastened to leave!
The commotion here instantly sent shockwaves throughout the entire Central Domain of the Northern Immortal Domain!
All eyes were watching!
Soon, within the Primordial Mountain Range, an astonishing surge of aura was released, spreading throughout the domain.
It was as if some primordial divine treasury had emerged.
In the Mid Domain of the Northern Immortal Domain, the world was astounded, and the common people were in an uproar!
“Has a supreme treasure appeared within the Primordial Mountain Range?”
“It must be a peerless treasure; even from tens of thousands of li away, one can see the crisscrossing divine light!”
“Let’s go, let’s head over to have a look!”
For a moment, countless Sect Gates and forces within the Central Domain sent people to investigate first.
Many of the Ancient Holy Clans were also stirred.
While the Emperor Xuanyuan of the Ji Family governs the majority of territories within the Central Domain, there were also other intricate powers interwoven!
Suddenly, many pieces of news spread.
“It seems to be a terrifying great marsh, with an aura of mysterious divinity steaming within as if naturally a treasured land!”
“In the marsh, there appears to be an ancient chessboard. The divine light crisscrossing is emerging from the chessboard…”
“Rumors suggest it’s very likely to be the place where Ji Water first originated, the Three Lives Great Marsh, where the Emperor Xuanyuan of the Ji Family had once cultivated!”
Within the Central Domain, countless messages were conveyed in all directions.
In a flash, the entire Northern Immortal Domain was watching attentively!
Three Lives Great Marsh—these four words were enough to attract the gaze of any power!
At this time,
at Eagle Sky Cliff!
“Our saint… has actually died!”
Saint Lord Ying Botian of the Tian Ying Royal Clan was sitting on the throne, his expression extremely grim!
Not only had they failed to gain any opportunity from the incident at the Linluo Plain, but they had also lost the Saint of their clan.
Moreover, his daughter, Ying Xiaoxiao, had been heavily injured as well!
She was currently recuperating in the clan.
“Report!”
Just then, a golden rainbow suddenly landed in front of the throne, transforming into an elder who opened his mouth and said:
“Saint Lord, I have just received news that the Three Lives Great Marsh seems to have appeared in the Middle Domain of the Primordial Mountain Range!”
Upon hearing this, Ying Botian’s expression immediately shifted!
“Three Lives Great Marsh?!”
He became extremely solemn, asking:
“Is the news accurate?”
The elder nodded, saying:
“It should be correct… The aura is too astonishing, and moreover, many forces that went to investigate were directly annihilated by the mysterious chess light!”
Ying Botian’s brow furrowed tightly as he murmured:
“Legend has it that within the Three Lives Great Marsh lies the miraculous Three Lives Soil of heaven and earth, guarded by the mysterious Three Lives Chess Array. Since ancient times, those who managed to enter achieved the Supreme Dao Fruit…”
“We… must go!”
He made up his mind!
“Father, let me go!”
At that moment, a young girl approached gracefully from behind.
It was none other than the Holy Lady Ying Xiaoxiao of the Tian Ying Royal Clan.
Her complexion was still a bit pale, but she had mostly recovered.
——Previously, in the Kirin Valley, she had been severely injured by the heavenly tribulation. She had survived only because she possessed a treasure given to her by the Golden-Winged Great Peng Race. Later, a Saint of the Tian Ying Royal Clan managed to rescue her and escape from the Kirin Valley just in time.
Ying Botian hesitated for a moment before saying, “Your injury…”
“My injury is no longer a hindrance.”
On Ying Xiaoxiao’s face was such determination as she said,
“For the Royal Clan, I must go!”
“Moreover, the Golden-Winged Peng Tribe will most likely participate this time. With them there, I will be safe!”
Upon hearing this, Ying Botian nodded and said,
“Good!”
…
“Three Lives Great Marsh? It has actually appeared? This… is indeed a supreme secret place, involving many great secrets!”
Atop a towering palace that stood against the sky vault, a faint voice also rang out.
“Our tribe, should also take a look.”
Following the grandiose voice, from within that palace, a young man surrounded by countless golden lights emerged, his bearing lofty and majestic.
“Three Lives Soil, I, Jin Qintian, am set on obtaining it!”
He murmured softly to himself!
…
At this moment,
In a secret place.
“Confirmed, it is indeed the Three Lives Great Marsh!”
The Celestial Clan’s Saint Sovereign Tian Haochu reported to the three Old Saint Kings of his clan, saying,
“Moreover, the terrifying ‘Three Lives Chess Array’ has also appeared, and currently, no one can approach it!”
Upon hearing this, expressions of great joy appeared on the faces of the three venerable Saint Kings!
“Heaven aids our Celestial Tribe!”
“We have just obtained the Imperial Bone, and now the Imperial Flesh has appeared too, good, good, good!”
Saint King Tian Yuanji immediately stood up and said,
“Our clan has made countless preparations, and now, they can finally be put to use.”
Tian Haochu hesitated and said, “However, the Three Lives Chess Array might be difficult for anyone in our clan to penetrate…”
“You do not know.”
At this moment, Tian Yuandao scoffed and said,
“We have been prepared!”
He looked towards Tian Yuanji and said,
“Chess Saint Qian Tian has been recuperating in our clan for hundreds of thousands of years. Now, he should be able to serve our clan, right?”
When Saint Lord Tian Haochu heard the four words, “Chess Saint Qian Tian,” his eyebrows instantly twitched!
He looked incredulously at the three Old Saint Kings!
Because those four words… represented an incredible figure!
“Chess Saint Qian Tian… the descendant of the Chess Emperor Qiankun of ancient times…”
Tian Haochu murmured and said, “The successor to Chess Emperor Qiankun and also someone who once contended for supremacy with Emperor Xuan Yuan of the Ji Family? If there is anyone in the world who could solve the Three Lives Chess Game, it has to be him!…”
He murmured!
This name was known to all, recognized by all.
The only successor of the Ancient Chess Emperor Qiankun!
He was born in the same era as Ji Xuanyuan and was equally illustrious. In legend, the two competed all the way to the Saint King Realm, fighting until the heavens shattered and the earth cracked.
Their final battle took place in the Primordial Mountain Range.
In that battle, Saint King Qian Tian was defeated.
Everyone thought that Qian Tian had died.
Tian Haochu had not expected that the man was still alive, and moreover, that he was living within the Celestial Tribe!
Tian Yuanji also nodded at this moment and said,
“The time has come.”
“Let’s go! We will break his seclusion.”
Immediately, they left this place.
Shortly after, they appeared in front of a colossal mountain.
This mountain was suppressed by countless arrays and was almost completely isolated from the outside world.
“Open the mountain!”
Tian Yuanji shouted loudly!
Suddenly, the entire gigantic mountain split open with a rumble.
Boom!
The shock was swift.
When the dust settled, what was revealed inside the mountain was a massive stone coffin.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The stone coffin was as big as a room, covered with all sorts of array patterns.
“Open the coffin!”
Tian Yuanji cast his spell, and in an instant, the entire stone coffin shattered into pieces!
All eyes were drawn to it, only to see two elderly men inside the coffin!
The two elderly men were sitting cross-legged, and between them was a stone chessboard.
On the chessboard, the black and white were interwoven, and a profound chess game was evolving.
What was surprising was that these two elders looked exactly alike!
With gray and withered hair, their faces like skin wrapped around bones, their robes looked as if they had endured countless years and were rotting away!
The mountain was opened and the coffin shattered, but these two elders seemed deaf to it all, fixed on the chessboard, as if their spirits were wandering within it.
“Qian Tian Chess Saint, the Three Lives Chess Game has reappeared!”
Tian Yuanji called out.
In an instant, one of the two elders facing each other dissipated!
Then, the remaining one slowly turned his head around.
