Fantasy: I'm Really Not A Supreme Master!

178  Chapter 160: The Immortal King's Pursuit Part 1

Jiang Li's words left Fire Spirit and the others utterly shocked.

The white chess piece was clearly the one that had flown out of Chen Xuanbei's hands.

And now, it was simulating, evolving the small mountain village?

The Great Dao roared, and the laws of the world were manifesting simply for this!

Unimaginable!

"This chess piece… If I'm not mistaken, it should have been used by a legendary Immortal King of the past, perhaps carrying a will of his…"

Jiang Li's expression was complex as he said,

"Even to the will of an Immortal King, does the layout within this small mountain village require... looking up to?"

He simply couldn't believe it.

It is known that this Immortal King… was a truly invincible powerhouse.

With the path of chess to certify his path, among the ranks of Immortal Kings, he was considered legendary, rumored to have almost stepped into a realm higher than that of an Immortal King…

Thus, even the Immortal Kings of the Immortal Domain yearned for everything he left behind.

There had even been a grand battle between immortals and demons that lasted thousands of years over rumors of his chessboard falling into the Demon Domain!

But now, this chess piece he left behind was simulating someone else's chess layout...

Who would believe such a story if it were told?

Is there really an existence on the path of chess that he felt compelled to simulate?

The expressions of Fire Spirit and the others were complicated.

Once again, an Immortal King...

However, they were more able to accept it now.

After all, they had witnessed with their own eyes... Li Fan eradicating a clone of an Immortal King with a single stroke.

"Boom—"

Suddenly, up ahead, the small mountain village evolved by the chess piece collapsed with a bang!

The village it had evolved was almost infinitely realistic, almost fully reproduced.

But in the end, it still fell short of success!

"Even that being couldn't evolve the layout of this place… What kind of terrifying Dao does this involve!"

Jiang Li couldn't help but bow in reverence once more!

And at this moment.

Up ahead.

Countless Great Daos were still roaring.

The chess piece was trembling.

In the next instant, the white chess piece suddenly shattered!

It turned to dust!

Yet a faint human silhouette appeared.

That silhouette seemed like a projection of the years, ready to dissipate at any moment.

In a vague outline, one could see that he was dressed in a Taiji Dao Robe, where black and white intertwined, yin and yang merged.

He was a Supreme existence!

He had come from the river of time, reappearing in this era!

At this moment, countless Great Daos, due to his emergence, submitted and trembled!

He, at this moment, was staring in the direction of the small mountain village!

"In the river of time, I dreamt of the perfect layout and profited from it for life, nearly stepping over that chasm to become the Eternal Immortal Emperor… Alas, alas!" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He sighed softly, revealing a regret that lingered through the ancient past.

No one knew that he had dreamt the perfect layout and certified himself as Immortal King!

But, because the dream was incomplete, he ultimately couldn't ascend to a higher realm!

"There is reluctance in my heart, but alas, today the version of me that sees this layout is only at the stage when I had just certified as an Immortal King, unable to evolve this game..."

Murmuring to himself, he eventually sighed softly, saying,

"Let it be; since there is a connection, perhaps we'll meet again in the future."

"Another stronger version of myself is still waiting in the river of time, and we will eventually meet."

He suddenly turned his head, looking back at Fire Spirit and the others!

His gaze landed on Jiang Li.

At that moment, Jiang Li's body stiffened, feeling as if his very soul was being completely seen through under that gaze!

Not a single thought or idea could remain hidden!

"You have cultivated my path of chess, followed my chess ritual and hence are fated. Today I will leave a thought. If one day, you meet another version of me, guide him here..."

The faint silhouette suddenly pointed a finger!

A streak of light suddenly entered Jiang Li's forehead!

It was at this moment that Jiang Li's mind suddenly understood countless secrets and truths submerged in the flow of time!

"My wish is fulfilled, so I shall now dissipate..."

The figure, supreme above all below the heavens and on the earth, muttered to himself, suddenly disappearing from this world!

He was nothing but a projection hurtling towards the future, a sliver of Immortal obsession!

"What… what on earth is going on?"

Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning, were both struck with astonishment.

But Jiang Li at this moment was visibly shaken!

"This is a projection of an Immortal King… the Black and White Immortal King."

"Throughout his life, he pursued the perfect layout, thus leaving different projections of himself at various stages, in hopes of encountering the perfect layout in the future..."

He murmured, gazing toward the small mountain village:

"This is the perfect layout that the Black and White Immortal King dreamt of in the Immortal Realm, but alas, his dream was incomplete, so he could only certify as an Immortal King and not ascend to a higher realm!"

Upon hearing this, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning were stunned and stood frozen.

"Only… only able to?"

Mu Qianning instinctively swallowed a gulp of saliva!

Good heavens!

Just by dreaming of a chess game, one could certify as an Immortal King?

And now Jiang Li used the word "only," as if it was a matter of regret!!

"Alas, the one who encountered the perfect layout today is the projection that the Black and White Immortal King left behind when he had just certified his Immortal King status, so he was not able to successfully evolve this perfect layout..."

He pondered, hence the other left a mark on him!

When he meets the other projections left by the Black and White Immortal King, those projections will know of everything that transpired today and will come searching...

His emotions were complex!
