Free Web NovelChapter 957: Chapter 50: Artist: Celestial Destiny Is Mine
In the painting he was working on at the time, it depicted Emperor Jiushui giving a sermon in the Nine-State, with an Emperor’s Sword mounted beside him, lifelike, with the Jiu Shui in motion.
"And as for my own system, though challenging, as long as I alone can achieve the Tao, it is sufficient."
"After becoming an Immortal, the perfection of Seven-Colored Divine Techniques, my painting skills will be enhanced a thousand-fold than before, even True Immortals can be painted."
"First, draw a Jiu Shui, then seek the right opportunity to paint those at the limits of perfection with the Three Calamities and Seven Tribulations of the Immortal Realm."
"Are they rare in number? Is cultivation extremely difficult? Does one system possibly only have a single successor?"
"What does that have to do with me?"
"I shall paint all the heroes of the world, creating an Immortal Realm Ukiyo-e."
His system was equally difficult, with only him and Jiu Shui as the two successors.
However, his painting technique was unique, requiring only one successor, forming an entire army by himself, he could paint countless people.
With a stroke here and a stroke there, he captured the eternal and ageless faces on countless sheets.
The only thing lacking, however, was the resources.
He was in dire need of money.
For a powerhouse, the energy resources needed for painting are astronomical!
Moreover, he couldn’t paint anyone too powerful yet, as strong individuals generally have mechanisms for self-protection and isolation, preventing others from stealing or peering.
"I need to make money," he sighed long and deep, thoughts swirling, suddenly his gaze fell upon Jian Xin who had just walked in the door.
At this moment.
Jian Xin just walked in the door, amidst the exclamations of the blacksmiths, realized he had encountered someone he knew.
"An acquaintance! Someone I know is here,"
a group of blacksmiths shouted.
In the blacksmith shop, Jiucai Rong muttered loudly, "What acquaintance, all our acquaintances are in the blacksmith shop."
Jiucai Rong grumbled a bit, then strode out, his face froze for a moment as he saw Jian Xin, "Sorry, didn’t mean to send you to the blacksmith shop, we’re not bad people."
Jian Xin addressed the outrage of man and god, saying, "I’ve come to discuss a big business deal, making money with Golden Core!"
The painter watching from above saw this scene, where the parties were set to meet again thousands of years later in the Immortal Realm, and gave a faint smile:
"Blessings come like the heart, if I need resources, the resources will come."
He picked up his brush again, making a stroke here and a stroke there, [The Immortal Jiushui Tao Saying Painting] was about to be completely finished.
"My overwhelming fortune allows my desires to be fulfilled, helping me to overturn this Immortal Realm."
...
...
Thinking clearly in his mind, what he wanted, just came.
This is precisely the manifestation of his overflowing destiny.
This wasn’t his arrogance or delusion, he was more humble and pragmatic than anyone else, and understood the strengths of his own system and cultivation technique better than anyone.
It’s important to know, other systems have their main and auxiliary practices.
But his system was all-encompassing.
At the same level, he would be three times stronger than an Auspicious Beast.
Why?
Because of flow, because of circulation.
Others are 1/1/1, but his cycle can flow, concentrating the power of a certain system, turning into 0/0/3.
The Five Elements, through intergeneration, can flow continuously, fostering a certain elemental attribute, turning into 0/0/0/0/5.
This was the perfect great power he possessed after achieving immortality.
Circulation brought forth power that was both mysterious and majestic.
When needing to use the destiny divine techniques, he was also three times stronger than a normal Auspicious Beast.
The painter furrowed his brows slightly,
"This Jian Xin, I recall, was a miner, passing by here by chance, it must be Destiny guiding and urging him."
"He has destiny, and I have destiny, both sides are prompting themselves, to meet here."
"Then, he saw our Xirong Manor sign, knowing our credibility is assured, he immediately thought of finding us to sell Golden Core, perhaps?"
"Linked fate, a destined encounter?"
He occasionally followed the Celestial Destiny World, knowing that the Golden Core Technique there had boomed.
But he didn’t know that the Celestial Destiny World had found a rich patroness, after all, they did it very discreetly, only a few high-level people were aware.
"It seems, the golden signboard of Xirong Manor is indeed reliable, Jian Xin trusts us."
How it would develop specifically, he could observe in secret.
...
"Please come in! Please come in!"
"Jian Xin, from the Nine-State World, we’ve long admired your name."
"Indeed, the genius of Xinyi Continent, with the sharpness of a sword, once suppressed the world."
Jian Xin blushed a bit with all the praise, and under the enthusiastic invitation of everyone, entered the Sword Casting Manor, not being brushed off as an ordinary miner.
Because he was a fellow townsman!
They were all from the Nine-State.
Jian Xin recognized the famous signboard of Sword Casting Manor.
And how could the blacksmiths not recognize their old friend Jian Xin?
The first great powerhouse they encountered was Jian Xin!
At that time, he was patrolling outside Pingchang City.
Chasing Jiao Wuyu, the gigantic Dharma Aspect Giant overlooked the entire Sword Casting Manor, there was a passing encounter.
At that time, a group of young blacksmiths all wanted to shout, holding up a small sword like a toothpick, asking the giant in the sky if he wanted to buy.
Now, Jian Xin was asking them if they wanted to buy Golden Core!
What is this?
Immortal Jiucai Rong chuckled, coughed twice, pretended to be reserved, and brought up the topic: "Isn’t this Senior Jian Xin from the Nine-State World? Why are you here mining?"
Jian Xin smiled, "Upon ascension, I can only temporarily become a miner, digging some mines, improving my life a bit, what are you doing here?"
As the Embers Ghost King, Jiucai Rong perfectly matched the rationale from his previous life, talk like a human, and smiled: "Our Xirong Manor has a sub-branch in the Immortal Realm, we are mining!"
"Our Sword Casting Manor sub-branch is distributed in many places, Nine-State is just one among many in our world."
He was full of confidence, came right out with it.
Outside, identity and reputation, were all self-bestowed.
If not, who else bestows it? That little steward Bai Xingling? Unreliable.
Jian Xin nodded, after a few more polite exchanges, he said: "I have a Golden Core, I wonder if your manor can consign it for sale?"
Then, he explained a bit about the Golden Core to Jiucai Rong and the others.
Jiucai Rong and the others, as business moguls, instantly understood its commercial value, how enormous it was!
Honestly, the group of Jiucai Rong perished the moment they crossed to the Celestial Destiny World.
Logically, they weren’t aware of the Celestial Destiny World.
But the mystery of this Golden Core, they saw clearly.
So immense that a few bottom-tier miners like them couldn’t possibly consume, doing so would be a great risk of bringing about self-destruction.
After all, though they boasted to Jian Xin about how strong they were, they knew exactly how miserably they were actually faring in this mining district.
They were just a group of newly ascended beings, then mining.
There were countless miners like them in the Immortal Realm.
Yet Jiucai Rong and the other Embers inherited the temperament of their true forms, taking bold risks, enjoying the gamble of destiny.
With opportunity in front, how could they not try?
Am I afraid of death?
"Leave it to us," Jiucai Rong said: "Our Xirong Manor, you can trust in the Nine-State, our background is deep, we can hold it."
Jian Xin nodded, "I don’t have any issues, I can be responsible for transporting the Golden Core here, I’m a spiritual being, not easily caught."
"But that’s only to the extent of being hard to catch, at most I can withstand a Celestial Immortal-level divination, against a True Immortal-level destiny system divination, I would surely be exposed."
He knew his own level, couldn’t stand firm.
Especially with divination powers, the difference in strength between parties was enormous, typically resulting in catching accurately.
Otherwise, why would the various Immortal Venerates raise Auspicious Beasts, treating them as precious resources? They are strategic existences!
