CHAPTER 859: CHAPTER 654: HEAVENLY RIVER MARSHAL, IDLE CHESS PIECE_2

Obviously, nothing good was done last night—no, too much good was done!

This unexpected situation instantly left him, a "theoretical giant, practical dwarf," momentarily stunned and extremely flustered at heart.

"Wait... wait! What’s going on?

Isn’t this the Heavenly Realm I’m in? Where in the Immortal Heaven would there be such a wanton Heavenly Girl?! And what on earth is a Marshal?"

Just as his heart surged with emotion.

Countless strange memories flooded out from the depths of his brain like a tide, swiftly absorbed by his Divine Soul.

Gao Jisheng finally gradually understood his own situation.

The dazed expression of confusion on his face gradually turned into a tragic look as if he wanted to cry but had no tears left.

"Naïve! Too naïve! I knew I was happy way too early!

This time, although nothing’s wrong with the body,

it turns out this isn’t the Nine Heavens Cloud Realm, but... the ’Tai Ming Yu Wan Tian’ Yaochi Fairyland of the Thirty-Three Heavens!"

Danger!

The veins bulged on his forehead, almost forming the bloody character for danger.

Unlike the previous two times when he only received a body and its corresponding Military Skills and Daoist Skills, this time he even integrated the memories of his predecessor.

Gao Jisheng’s new identity turned out to be a Green Seal God under the command of the [West King Holy Mother]—the Heavenly River Marshal!

In charge of the Heavenly River, managing the river courses, and commanding eighty thousand Heavenly Soldier Water Army within the Heavenly Realm.

Previously, when the Heavenly River Marshal routinely led troops to attack the [Sun Moon Three Lights Formation], due to being too far ahead, he was accidentally injured by the Three Lights Divine Water.

Sunlight Divine Water: wears down the blood essence and flesh;

Moonlight Divine Water: corrodes the Primordial Spirit and Soul;

Starlight Divine Water: disintegrates the True Spirit and Consciousness.

He touched a bit of the Starlight Divine Water, which severely damaged his True Spirit and Consciousness. The night before last, he lacked restraint and acted recklessly, leading to his untimely demise, letting Gao Jisheng pick up a bargain.

When he woke up again, he was already in the form of the "Yin Mountain Tao" second senior brother.

It happened that Old Master Wang, after ascending to immortality, consistently improved his Daoist skills.

The unparalleled [Immortal Law: Inverted Yin and Yang] and the power of the [Yin Heaven Son] have allowed him to effortlessly portray the role of an old master.

Granting others an illusory and dreamlike "soul travel."

Who said the [Heavenly People Path] could only be reborn in the Immortal Heaven of Corpse Dissection Immortals?

Isn’t the Thirty-Three Heavens still the Heavens?

Aren’t the affiliates of the Heavenly Officials considered Heavenly People? It’s just a matter of being polluted or not.

Wang Yuan also wasn’t afraid that his undercover second-in-command would be exposed by the [West King Holy Mother].

Never mind that she merely obtained the cultivation method of the [Earth Book: Earthly Que Golden Book] from Emperor Mu and can’t truly cultivate.

Even if Emperor Mu, a master of the [Six Paths of Reincarnation], were resurrected, he’d be utterly unremarkable before Old Master Wang’s current power.

The position of the [Yin Heaven Son] and the [Immortal Law: Inverted Yin and Yang] determined Wang Yuan’s dominion on this Immortal Path.

He possessed overwhelming superiority over any immortal in the world.

"The heavenly people under the Heavenly Official don’t even count as dogs!

Wasn’t it said that the Heavenly People Path was all pleasure and no pain? But entering this dragon’s lair and tiger’s den is full of danger everywhere.

Even when splitting the mind, you can return through the [Six Paths of Reincarnation], but what’s the difference between a 98% success rate and courting death?"

Just as Gao Jisheng was lamenting his blundering into this dragon’s lair and tiger’s den.

Suddenly, a slender jade hand from an impatient [Yaochi Jade Girl] beside him grabbed the handle, then leaned down with a flirtatious smile.

Hiss—!

He gasped sharply.

"I, Gao Jisheng, have always made it my mission ’to establish the heart for Heaven and Earth, to establish life for the people, and to continue the wisdom of past saints,’ and I’m not a lustful person.

Yet, if I don’t descend into Hell, who will?

To share my master’s burdens, whether it’s a ’dragon’s pond’ or ’tiger’s den,’ I vow to charge through it.

You legions of demons who eat people and don’t spit the bones, taste the might of a strike from the Heavenly River Marshal!"

His upright and righteous aura instantly made a group of Yaochi Jade Girls surrender in retreat.

Moreover, after receiving the entire memory of the Heavenly River Marshal and the [Divine Power Talisman] within him, he found it hard to part with this perfectly heavenly body.

By building his foundation with the body of an affiliate, the [Yaochi Golden Boy], he diligently cultivated the [Heavenly Department Dao Skill: Peach God Longevity Sutra] for hundreds of years, following the path of "Magic and Martial Unity".

Whether it was Daoist Skill or Military Skill, he excelled in both.

He not only achieved the Green Seal [Dharma Image] realm, which is extremely rare even under a Heavenly Official, but also cultivated the Dharma Primordial Spirit [Ruishui Three Thousand].

He could resist the assault of the Heavenly River’s weak water, and even slightly control the Heavenly River’s weak water, much like the Golden Hairpin in the hands of the West King Holy Mother.

Taking advantage of his status, this Heavenly River Marshal often indulged in the finest green peaches from the Immortal Peach Orchard.

Even Wang Yuan had the rare fortune to taste just one.

"The green peach tree is to the south of the West Pond, towering at eighty zhang tall, and what the common folk call the Flat Peach blooms only once in a hundred years."

The green peaches it bears can alter one’s nature, rejuvenate the body, enhance the divine power level, and significantly increase vitality and lifespan.

If someone consumes three, they can gain the supreme divine skill of the ’Magic and Martial Unity’ path, [Blood Rebirth]!

This Heavenly River Marshal accumulated achievements to eat three green peaches, casually gaining a [Blood Rebirth], making him fearsome in combat in various senses.

Before being overwhelmed by the retaliating demons, the second senior brother seriously stated:

"In the Yaochi Fairyland, there are three thousand weak waters, I only take... three thousand, considering it as gaining glory for the Human Clan.

After all, since we’re already here, right?"

...

At the same time, under the osmanthus tree of [Moon Traveling Heaven].

After leaving behind the Tai Bai avatar to comprehend the vast [Heavenly Book] independently, Wang Yuan’s body and Huang Wu were leisurely playing chess.

Just as Gao Jisheng was exclaiming "Truly fragrant".

A jade chess piece inscribed with the red character [Marshal] suddenly materialized and landed in Wang Yuan’s open palm.

"The last undercover piece near the West King Holy Mother in the Yaochi Fairyland, and the most important one, has finally been arranged thanks to the battle planning from the other day.

Idle chess pieces, no harm in being prepared, it’s just hard to tell how much use it might be when the time comes."

Huang Wu placed a chess piece on the board:

"Check! The spring planting in the mortal world has already begun, sea rice, sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn... each round of harvest boosting the Dragon Energy another notch.

And the [Fertility Order], barefoot doctors, Infinite Moon Mirror... among others aiding us.

Perhaps we just need to wait for a few decades to truly qualify for a counterattack against the Thirty-Three Heavens.

The Heavenly Official couldn’t break the [Heavenly Gate] even at his peak; by now, there shouldn’t be any other methods."

Wang Yuan played a move called "Relieving Check with a Check" to counter-kill Huang Wu.

"Let’s hope so."

Gao Jisheng, who rushed into the Dragon Pond and den of tigers to battle demons, was unaware.

Among the Thirty-Three are a total of sixteen such undercover pieces like him, with at least one arranged in each heavenly realm.

Old Master Wang typically acts subtly and strategically, planning long-term, across thousands of miles.

Even before engaging in a real battle with the Heavenly Official, he had already laid out his plans in advance.

Besides using [Inverted Yin and Yang], he also acquired [Power: Universal Arrangement] after consuming that [Victory Over Heaven Half Piece]!

Ability: Allows Wang Yuan to design a chess game in any form using [Victory Over Heaven Half Piece], just like those [Weird].

He uses his own "knowledge" to pursue individuals meeting certain conditions, essentially the various affiliates in the Thirty-Three Heavens.

As long as the opponent "loses the chess", his knowledge can instantly catch up, turning the opponent into his chess piece, controlling their life and death!

The maximum number of chess pieces existing at the same time is sixteen: one marshal, two each of chariot, horse, cannon, elephant, advisor, and five soldiers, each with different levels and abilities.

These pieces can carry the "will" of the "Chess Master" based on their foundation, sharing the "Chess Master’s" Immortal Law, Divine Skills, and Power.

In critical moments, they can even perform [Castling], directly riding a flying dragon into the opponent’s heavenly realm for a beheading operation.

Chess pieces are more convenient than disciples, [Painted Skin Ghosts], [Black Law Judges], straw dogs...

As a guest [Weird], Wang Yuan turned out to be much more insidious than those genuine [Weird].

Reverse penetration into the Thirty-Three Heavens is simply effortless.

At this rate, once Wang Yuan ascends to the [Undying Primordial Spirit], hosting a Fourth Calamity down upon the Thirty-Three Heavens isn’t entirely impossible.

Except every time Wang Yuan recalls the solemn warnings given by both [Duke Bingling] and [Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl]:

"Be wary of the West King Holy Mother!"

He’s somewhat indecisive, unsure whether he should take the initiative and eliminate this threat sooner or adhere to the cautious approach, avoiding needless risks.

"Main body, Tai Bai, and Yama, three avatars in one, is the advantage ours?"
