The tale goes that after playing chess against Xuan Ming for a hundred years, Bo Yikao reaped considerable benefits, feeling the Mana within him changing and the operation of the Heavenly Dao Laws unfolding before his eyes.
This game of chess took so long to complete that it is no wonder there are stories told of a woodcutter who saw two old men playing chess in the mountains. He squatted down to watch them play a game, and by the time he came down from the mountain, he found that a full one hundred years had passed, and all his family and friends had aged and died.
If a mortal were to witness the chess match between Xuan Ming and Bo Yikao, they would experience the same, but a person proficient in chess would greatly benefit from it; their Cultivation Level could soar, and their chess skills would improve immensely.
