Free Web NovelLooking at the unfamiliar yet familiar girl in the painting, Ying Bing felt a slight daze at this moment.
In her previous life, what was she doing at this time?
She endured the torment of extreme cold every day, wandering in the dark Qingyuan Mountain Range, searching for the Azure Soul that was calling her from the depths of the unknown.
One by one, insidious individuals and starving beasts died under her sword.
That memory was filled with darkness, coldness, and uncertainty.
But tonight, the moonlight was truly beautiful.
She looked at herself smiling lightly in the painting.
The clear radiance of the moonlight flowed.
A seed, planted in the solid ice at some unknown time, seemed to be quietly taking root and sprouting....
“Tsk, I’m truly awesome.”
Li Mo couldn’t help but puff out his chest, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, almost putting his hands on his hips.
Who said a painter had to die to become famous?
Hang this painting on Ruyi Peak, and it would instantly become a timeless masterpiece!
He had even thought of the name—mona bingsha (mona ice sand)!
“Oh?”
Shang Wu carefully examined it for a few moments, then suddenly blinked her almond eyes in surprise:
“This painting seems to have some of the essence of a God-Observing Picture?”
“Is that so?”
Li Mo looked closely and found that it indeed had that peculiar charm.
It was just very faint.
Perhaps it was because he unintentionally poured his focus into it during the last few strokes?
No wonder he felt so drained after finishing the painting....
“It can’t really be called a God-Observing Picture; that’s too much of a stretch. One can only say that a similar drawing technique was used.”
Shang Wu smacked her lips, a bit regretfully.
She could tell that this painting barely even achieved a lower form.
“Can portraits also be used for God-Observing?”
Li Mo couldn’t help but ask.
Shang Wu hummed:
“Of course, they can. What do you think the Great Yu Imperial Family observes?”
“The sun.....”
Li Mo recalled that the two suns were transformed from former Great Yu Emperors. freeweɓnøvel.com
“There are two ways to observe the divine essence of a person.
One is to observe a saint who has embodied the ‘Dao,’ and the second is the Demon Summoning Sect’s demonic summoning evil method. This painting is neither of those; it fundamentally cannot be used for observation.”
Shang Wu had a deep understanding of God-Observing Pictures.
She wondered if it had anything to do with her breaking a pile of statues back then.
“What a pity.”
Li Mo took down the scroll and sighed:
“This was just a flash of inspiration for me. I don’t know when I’ll have such a convergence of timing, location, and people again.”
“You will.”
“Hmm?”
Li Mo was stunned for a moment.
He saw that Ying Bing had already turned and ascended to the pavilion, leaving only a retreating figure.
......
The night gradually deepened.
After finishing his hot spring bath, Li Mo also returned to his room.
His daily cultivation routine could not be skipped.
Now that his Karma Fire Red Lotus Mystical Method had condensed a Mystic Core, he still needed to accumulate Origin Qi, and he didn’t plan to condense only one Mystic Core.
“The Ice Cube’s room doesn’t seem as cold anymore.”
As he passed the door next door, Li Mo sensed something.
At this time, Ying Bing should be observing the Taiyin.
Perhaps this was because she had already embarked on the Dao of God-Observing?
Li Mo shook his head and entered his room.
He casually placed the painting he had just finished beside him and then took out the Golden Crow Transformed into Sun God-Observing Picture from his System space.
He stared at the Golden Crow Transformed into Sun Picture for a long time, but there was no reaction.
“My Immortal Body can’t use ordinary Inner Breath martial arts, is it the same for God-Observing Pictures?”
“No, that’s not right....”
Li Mo then spread out the ‘mona bingsha (mona ice sand)’ painting.
This time, that feeling of his spirit being drawn in resurfaced.
The painting depicting the Ice Cube, which was barely even considered a lower form, could actually resonate with his Yi Soul.
But the Golden Crow Transformed into Sun Picture, which was an ultimate form, could not.
Xiao Li was thoughtful.
It had nothing to do with the grade of the God-Observing Picture?
What a pity.
This painting couldn’t be observed.....
“Wait!”
“I have the Bronze Creation Seal!”
“This was drawn using the God-Observing Picture technique after all. What would happen if I stamped the Bronze Creation Seal on it?”
Xiao Li had a flash of inspiration.
Swish—Two ancient and extraordinary seals made of Mystic Bronze appeared on the table.
He still had two Bronze Creation Seals.
Even if it failed, he had room for trial and error!
“Should I try it?”
Li Mo’s mind was still thinking.
But his hand seemed to have a mind of its own; it picked up the seal with a slap and stamped it on.
Buzz—
Profound characters flowed into it.
Immediately, an ethereal light appeared on the painting, enveloping the entire picture and flowing over it.
“It’s working!”
Li Mo stared intently, his heart hanging in the balance.
No problems would arise, right?
Fortunately, his worries were unnecessary.
The light gradually dissipated.
One painting turned into two.
The original one was still there, but a new one appeared beside it.
Li Mo looked closely.
He saw that the person in the painting was still the Ice Cube, still as clear and beautiful, but slightly different from before.
She was no longer an adolescent girl; she seemed to have grown a little, shedding her youthful innocence.
Her clothes had also changed, from a snow-white long dress to a dark cloud veil.
Time had made her figure even more exquisite, her eyes even more serene, like a phantom moving through the night.
What remained unchanged was that subtly upturned corner of her lips.
If Ying Bing saw this painting, she would recognize it.
This was how she looked when she traveled the Jianghu; at that time, she was already ranked first on the Qianlong Ranking in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Wind and Cloud Rankings, with the title Cold Yama.
“This is... the Ice Cube’s future appearance?”
Li Mo was momentarily stunned.
Why did it feel like playing a dress-up game?
Moreover.
This painting seemed to have been deduced into a middle form?
To verify his guess, Li Mo calmed his mind.
Suddenly.
Everything before his eyes suddenly rippled like water, becoming unreal.
The cold moon, the dark alley, the girl turning her head with a sword in her arms.
In an instant, Li Mo felt as if he was standing opposite her, becoming her opponent.
This was similar to when he had fought the remnant will in the Chixiao Sword in the Divine Peak Cave.
The difference was.
The Ice Cube in the painting was countless times stronger.
Clang—
Heavenly Frost reflected the cold moon as the sword was unsheathed.
This sword light was incredibly beautiful, breathtaking to the extreme, as if everything around them had fallen into stagnation.
Including thought.
After a long time.
Or perhaps it was just for a moment.
Li Mo’s Yi Soul detached from the form and essence of the scroll, his chest rising and falling slightly.
“Judging by the Ice Cube’s age, this should be her not long from now, right?”
Xiao Li’s heart was stirred.
He could deeply sense that the sword was one with the self, the moonlight dazzling and captivating....
It wasn’t just because the Ice Cube in the painting was strong.
Also!
This painting was not damaged after he observed it!
“The Bronze Creation Seal can at most deduce a God-Observing Picture to an upper form.”
“If I stamp it again, will this painting become an upper form?”
Li Mo pondered for a moment.
He had never observed divine essence before.
He would try this Ice Cube first.
Xiao Li began to attempt his first God-Observing in his life.
