In an unknown place in the Mythological World.
Two people were playing chess here.
One of them was snow-white, holding a horsetail whisk in his hand. He looked similar to Taibai Jinxing, but he was slightly taller than Taibai Jinxing.
He sat on a futon, holding a white chess piece in his hand. With a clatter, he placed it on the chessboard.
Stroking his beard, he smiled bitterly and said to the other person, "It's your turn."
As for the other person, although some Buddhist light emerged from his body and he was wearing a kasaya Buddhist robe, his entire body contained an aura of the Netherworld. He looked like a person from the Netherworld.
When he saw the chess piece, he sighed. After thinking for a moment, he placed the black chess piece.
"Taishang Laojun, do you think we still have a chance?" The man in the kasaya asked.
Looking at the lineup on the chessboard, Taishang Laojun's smile became even more bitter. He shook his head, "I don't know. The current situation is too chaotic. Even I can't see the future development.
Now, not only has Dao Ancestor Ao Qing become a Twelve-Clawed Crepe Myrtle Star Dragon, but he has also controlled the entire Demon Race. This situation is too terrifying and chaotic. "
"If it was the previous situation, I could still make some responses with some of my arrangements. However, the power displayed by Dao Ancestor Ao Qing is too strong, especially his Dragons and Demon Race's Luck. It's growing too fast. I can't carry out the next layer of arrangements at all."
"Then in this situation, you really don't want to participate in the battle anymore?
Don't forget, it was Ao Qing who chased you out … "
As soon as the man in the kasaya robe finished speaking, Taishang Laojun's hand that was holding the chess piece suddenly trembled. Then, he stopped playing chess.
He thought for a moment, raised his head, and cast his gaze on the man, "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, are you trying to use me as a tool?!"
That's right!
These two people had disappeared for a long time. They had been scared away by Dao Ancestor Ao Qing and had stolen most of their Luck. The two Sages' whereabouts were unknown!
Dao Ancestor Ao Qing had triggered many major events in the Mythological World. Taishang Laojun naturally knew about it, and he was getting more and more shocked.
He had once used the Art of Divination to divine the future, but before he could even divine half of it, he had suffered a backlash from the Art of Divination. He had been seriously injured and had almost died.
He did not even calculate the result and process, but it caused such a powerful backlash. He was enough to conclude that the next thing would be more troublesome and chaotic.
Therefore, he disappeared and was prepared to plan..
At this moment, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
When Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva came, he was covered in blood and was even about to fall to the Sage Realm. Moreover, the aura of the netherworld on his body had decreased a lot. Therefore, he concluded that something very helpless and very big must have happened in the Mythological World.
Coincidentally, he was also curious about some of the changes in the entire Mythological World, so he took Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in. The two of them secretly observed the situation in this mysterious corner and avoided some future disasters.
During the process, when he heard that the Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heavens and Sakra had been taken into the Shanhe Sheji Heaven and Earth Black Yellow Luck Seizing Map by Dao Ancestor Ao Qing, he was in a bad mood.
He had already overestimated Dao Ancestor Ao Qing's methods, but he did not expect that it would still be beyond his expectations.
Therefore, under the influence of this matter, he was even more determined to hide here and never come out again.
Otherwise, things would be even more troublesome.
But now, when he suddenly heard Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva say these words while playing chess, he understood that this guy still had some other thoughts.
Therefore, he was angry!
I took you in out of the kindness of my heart, what do you mean by saying these words?!
"This Bodhisattva would not stoop to such a thing. Moreover, Taishang Laojun, you are my savior, why would you do this?" Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's voice was normal and did not fluctuate much. But who was Taishang Laojun?
An old monster who had lived for god knows how many years could naturally understand the meaning behind these words. It was not as simple as it seemed.
As for the words of a savior, to the level of Sages like them, it was just empty talk. You and I both have different thoughts, so why would I believe such empty words?
"That's good, don't have any other thoughts." Taishang Laojun's voice also became colder. The next moment, he picked up a chess piece again and placed it on the chessboard.
"Hehe, Taishang Laojun, there's no need for us to beat around the bush. This Bodhisattva also knows that you have some secret techniques, and some things can't be hidden from you, but this Bodhisattva will say it first …"
Before he finished speaking, Taishang Laojun felt a strange feeling!
That was because the aura of the Netherworld on Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was gradually decreasing!
And it was happening very quickly!
In a moment, the aura of the Netherworld on Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva disappeared completely!
And under this influence, his strength dropped from the level of a Sage to that of a Sage-to-be!
Taishang Laojun was stunned.
So was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
The situation changed too quickly, and it was too strange. In just a few words, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's level dropped!
How was this possible?!
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was the first to react. He looked at Taishang Laojun and said in an unfriendly tone, "Is this your doing?!"
"How is this possible?!
This Sage has been playing chess with Bodhisattva every day, how could I do something like this?
Moreover, in today's mythical world, one more Sage means one more chance to restrain others. Although the two of us are hiding in this place now, there's no guarantee that there won't be other changes. This Sage even hopes that Bodhisattva can break through and become a Quasi-Heavenly Dao expert. Why would I weaken Bodhisattva's strength?! "
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva fell silent when he heard this.
Yes, how could he not know what this meant?
In today's world, even a Sage-to-be expert's voice had become very weak.
Nuwa, Ancestral Phoenix, Master Tongtian, Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heavens, Sakra, Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, and the Four Celestial Emperors. Which one of them was not a super Sage?
Even under such circumstances, Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heavens and Sakra had been destroyed by Dao Ancestor Ao Qing. The Heavenly Court's power had disappeared, and two of the Four Celestial Emperors had been kept by Dao Ancestor Ao Qing in the Shanhe State Map of Heaven, Earth, Black and Yellow Fate Seizing Map. What confidence did they have to continue with their plans?
Unless they became even more powerful, they would only be reduced to pawns at the mercy of others.
Based on this situation, Taishang Laojun naturally did not want his realm to decline. Although a Sage might be reduced to a pawn of the Heavenly Dao, he still had some ability to protect himself.
Under the circumstances of a Sage-to-be, the hope was even slimmer.
"Under such circumstances … my realm …"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was stunned. Then, he suddenly thought of something and took out a piece of jade from his pocket. He waved his hand lightly and an image appeared on the jade!
This image shocked him and Taishang Laojun!
This was because the image had completely turned into a barren land!
"So that's how it is … No wonder, no wonder!"
"Dao Ancestor Ao Qing has such powerful means. He actually controlled the entire Netherworld of the Three Realms and Six Paths. He even moved the entire Netherworld into the Seventh Realm of the Dragons!"
"I'm afraid this world is going to be in big trouble!"
