“Achoo....”
“Why does it feel like my philtrum is itching?”
Li Mo sneezed, strangely touched the area below his nose, and then focused his spirit to paint seriously.
The wind was strong at high altitudes, and it was precisely the beginning of autumn.
The autumn wind made the qingmai jade jian rustle.
However, every time Li Mo made a stroke on the paper, the ripples on the paper would calm down a bit.
The Seven Stars guided his brushstrokes!
Every stroke was imbued with his immense spirit. If he hadn't cultivated his God-Observing three apertures and observed the Great Dao Divine Form, his spirit would have been overdrawn long ago.
After the final flourish, the paper was as if lead-filled, not moving an inch.
“It’s finally done.”
Li Mo opened his eyes, tired. Before him, the strange stone had leaped onto the paper, as if he could reach out and touch its ancient textures.
Judging from the Divine Intention fluctuations within it, this should be a Mid-form God-Observing Picture.
But to be honest, little Painter Li felt a slight sense of self-satisfaction.
If it were a High-form God-Observing Picture, he might not have been able to finish it in one go, and copying this strange stone had to be done in one continuous flow. If he stopped midway, he would have to start over.
Senior Brother Ouyang probably couldn't do it either.
“Although it originated from the strange stone, I painted something of my own.....”
Li Mo gradually understood why painting was something that required talent.
Copying the same reference object, different people's brushstrokes would result in completely different images.
For example, if he and Ouyang were to copy something at the same time, what they painted would definitely not be the same.
“You actually managed to paint it?”
Wei Zhaoliu leaned over to take a look, letting out a light 'eh', surprised and a little unexpected at the same time.
“The strange stone is so profound, yet it's only a Mid-form?”
Within Transverse Cloud Sword City, there were naturally many High-form, and even Extreme-form God-Observing Pictures preserved.
However, the Foundation of Sword City had always been this strange stone.
“Although it’s only a Mid-form, its effectiveness is something some High-forms cannot achieve.”
“That’s true.....”
Wei Zhaoliu looked out.
She found that although Li Mo copied it from the strange stone, there was a slight difference from the real strange stone placed not far away.
Moreover.
At first glance, this picture seemed ordinary, but gradually, it gave one a sense of sudden enlightenment, a feeling of clarity and transparency.
This feeling became clearer and clearer as time went on....
She had been practicing her sword diligently recently, and now, looking at this picture, she felt many Comprehensions surging in her mind.
“Congratulations, Host, for successfully investing in ‘Wei Zhaoliu’ and helping her accumulate and then burst forth.”
“Investment feedback: Bronze Creation Seal.” ƒrēewebnovel.com
“Accumulate and then burst forth?”
Seeing Wei Zhaoliu quickly walk to the strange stone and sit down, Li Mo reacted.
This was not because the freshly painted, still-wet God-Observing Picture had astonishing divine effects, allowing people to have an Epiphany so easily.
The main reason was that Wei Zhaoliu’s accumulation had reached its peak.
She was ready to understand with just a hint; this painting merely provided that ‘spark of inspiration’.
“I just got the Bronze Creation Seal.”
“I also have the Mithril Creation Seal.”
Li Mo held the God-Observing Picture.
The Seven Stars within his body were still spinning non-stop, transmitting a budding anticipation into his heart.
As for Comprehension Ability, he had Martial Arts Comprehension, so apart from the slight difficulty in practicing swordsmanship, he rarely found himself in a tight spot at other times.
Therefore, he was not afraid that this God-Observing Picture would lose its original effect after being deduced.
“Use it then.”
Li Mo made up his mind and took out the small seal, shimmering with a bronze color.
Without hesitation, he directly stamped it on a corner of the painting.
Immediately after, the small tadpoles on the seal swam onto the painting and quickly covered it.
The image transformed, being rapidly altered.
Before long.
The speed of the ink flow slowed down.
In a trance, Li Mo seemed to see that the strange stone in the painting was rapidly absorbing the tadpole patterns, gradually cracking, and soon became covered in cracks.
It was as if something was about to be conceived and emerge.....
Buzz!
The next moment, as the last trace of tadpole pattern successfully surged in, the strange stone in the painting exploded with a bang.
“Congratulations, Host, for successfully using the Bronze Creation Seal to upgrade the Mid-form God-Observing Picture to a High-form.”
“The Spirit Stone God-Observing Picture has been deduced into: Wukong’s Birth Picture!”
“??”
Li Mo focused his gaze.
He saw that the original strange stone in the picture was gone.
It was a picture of a little monkey, a macaque, standing naked between heaven and earth.
Although it was just a picture, you could clearly see it picking wild fruits in the mountains, ascending to the heavens and descending to the earth, and even happily running by the sea.....
“Did a Monkey King really pop out?”
Li Mo murmured to himself.
He seemed to understand something.
He took out another small, mithril-colored seal.
The small seal got closer and closer to the ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ paper, and then slowly stamped onto it.
Almost at the moment it was stamped down, the little man in his apertures began to tremble!
An obscure Qi gradually appeared on his body, even forming a Qi mechanism that enveloped him, carrying the tadpole patterns from the Mithril Creation Seal, and together they drilled into the painting.
It was the Immortal Body!
Li Mo finally understood.
It was the Immortal Body guiding the deduction of this Creation Seal!
Allowing an existence that was impossible to exist in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to descend upon the painting!
Li Mo suddenly looked up.
On the ever-changing painting, ink flowed, outlining something. He couldn’t tear his gaze away. His Yi Soul and Divine Intention were released, enveloping him in a clear radiance, wrapping him and the painting together in tranquility and mystery.
Before his eyes.
The ink had already formed a dark green stone staircase. The surrounding scenery was blurry and indistinct, but the plaque was exceptionally clear:
‘Slanted Moon Three Stars Cave’
Below the plaque, the macaque from the High-form God-Observing Picture had already changed into a dry Daoist robe.
The Daoist-robed monkey stood on the stone steps and looked back.
His gaze crossed endless years and vast time.
It was the middle of the night, and no one was around.
One person and one monkey stared at each other.
In the ethereal, he clearly knew that gaze was directed at him, seeing him across an indescribable barrier, even able to clearly see the monkey's fur in the moonlight, every strand distinct, like flowing dawn light.
The Daoist-robed monkey was the Incarnation of spiritual essence in the world; everyone would have this thought in their hearts. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Buzz—
The Qi resonance of the Immortal Body grew even more turbulent.
It seemed to be establishing some kind of connection through this gaze.
In an instant.
The Daoist-robed monkey nodded almost imperceptibly, raised his hand, and gently lifted and lowered it three times in the air, towards the forehead of someone on the distant shore.
Dong—
Dong—
Dong—
....
Li Mo’s three heartbeats were exceptionally distinct.
In that instant, a large amount of inspiration surged into his mind.
“Somersault Cloud”
“Indestructible Diamond”
“Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends”
.....
This Epiphany was too complex, flickering chaotically before his eyes.
Li Mo felt as if he were a frog in a well, a mayfly seeing the clear sky. Apart from shock, he completely couldn't comprehend the content, only vaguely knowing the names.
That could no longer be described as Martial Arts.
It was a Divine Ability!
Just as Li Mo's mind was in Chaos, like a small boat drifting in the ocean, the Lunar Clear Radiance in his Yi Soul once again shone brightly, freeing him.
And so.
The Qi mechanism of the Immortal Body slowly imprinted the previous Comprehension, along with the Creation Seal, onto that painting.
“Congratulations, Host, for successfully using the Mithril Creation Seal to upgrade the High-form God-Observing Picture to an Extreme-form.”
“Wukong’s Birth Picture has been deduced into: Wukong Seeking the Dao Diagram!”
.....
PS: Sorry for the delay, I’m finally slowly unfolding the Immortal Body setting. I wrote it very carefully.
The Immortal Body was given too early, and I've never written Xuanhuan themes before. Also, my personal writing style doesn't like settings and items that are used once and then discarded, which led to a poor reading experience. Thank you, dear readers, for your tolerance, for reading this far orz.
Please, dear readers, recharge and support me, mwah~
