Midnight.
Li Mo sat in front of Dou Shuai Palace, holding two paintings.
After sealing the creation with the Golden Creation Seal, the initial “Mona Ice Cream” didn’t disappear.
With both paintings side by side, Little Li felt a bit puzzled.
“Both are medium shape, so why can I observe this one, but not the other?”
“Maybe it has nothing to do with the painting’s grade?”
Sitting in a corner he had simulated of the Heavenly Court, Little Li fell into deep thought.
The only difference he could think of was that the Ice Chunk’s portrait originated from his own hand.
Surely, it couldn’t be that only his own creation was observable, right?
While lost in contemplation—
“Teacher… I… I’m here!”
Jiang Chulong dashed over, and even with her blindfold on, Li Mo could feel her joy radiating.
It seemed she wanted to get closer and share her excitement, yet her steps hesitated a bit.
She felt a little shy, unable to stand next to her teacher.
“You’re right on time today.”
Li Mo put away the scroll and stood up.
His warm tone eased Jiang Chulong’s tense body a bit.
The little classroom of the revered master was about to begin.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, while attending class, Little Jiang stopped in her tracks.
Li Mo recognized this fluctuation of energy. Sure enough.
【Name: Jiang Chulong】
【Age: 15】
【Bone Root: Innate Sword Seed, Wild Grass Sword Bone in development.】
【Realm: Qi bl**d Realm, Ten Threads (breaking through).】
【Fate: Gold】
【Evaluation: Young daughter of the Da Yu Emperor, born with a sword seed physique, at fourteen was seized of her sword bone by her elder brother, the current Crown Prince; however, the sword bone nurtured her, and she did not nurture it. If she can clear the dust from her heart and fulfill herself, she may also become a supreme sword master.】
【Recent Encounter: Initial completion of the Wild Grass Sword Manual, about to break and establish anew.】
Little Jiang was about to break through.
In this world, there was simply no primal energy to be had.
Without hesitation, Li Mo’s thoughts shifted.
Rare treasures and spiritual materials piled in the corner, along with two pieces of mysterious crystal, were directly shaken apart, transforming into the purest primal energy.
The energy rushed towards Jiang Chulong.
Before long.
【Congratulations to the host, successfully investing in ‘Jiang Chulong’, helping her break through.】
【Investment Feedback: Secret Silver Creation Seal!】
【Secret Silver Creation Seal】: “Can deduce the Guan Shen Diagram, can match medium shapes, at most can transform it into an extreme shape.”
“Teacher… I… I’ve broken through…”
Jiang Chulong’s weak voice floated over.
“Hmm?”
Li Mo paused for a moment, focusing his gaze, as if he discovered something.
Little Jiang’s aura was much deeper than he had imagined.
Jiang Chulong hung her small head:
“It seems… not quite the Qi Gathering Realm.”
Li Mo: “??”
This was his world, and he slightly released his perception.
Then he discovered, to his surprise, that Little Jiang had already converted her internal breath into liquid.
This speed was not any slower than the Ice Chunk.
Theoretically speaking, aside from his own celestial physique that he knew so little about, the Ice Chunk had the strongest talent he had seen so far.
But with a little thought, it made sense.
Little Jiang’s talent was also not lacking and could even be called the Master of Rolls. Once she reached the Internal Breathing Realm, Brother Li would gift her a present.
So every day for ten hours, she even practiced hard in her dreams.
With the daily “revered teacher” feeding her, breaking and establishing anew became quite reasonable.
“Not bad at all.”
The revered teacher nodded, casually offering his praise.
Jiang Chulong stood there obediently, her little lips murmuring.
Seeing her like this, Li Mo remembered the promise he had made to her.
First, to tell her stories about the Heavenly Court.
Second, to bring Brother Li in to play.
“How about I tell you a story about the Heavenly Court today?”
The revered teacher cleared his throat, adopting a deep, bubble-like tone.
“Um…”
Gentle reminder: The upper right corner has features like “Switch between Simplified and Traditional”, “Adjust font size”, “Reading background color”, etc.
Jiang Chulong felt a tad dejected.
But she dutifully sat upright, eagerly waiting.
She would listen to the story here and then tell it to the pillars back home.
“Speaking of why the Eight Trigrams Furnace toppled…”
“Then we must talk about a story of a monkey that leaped out from a rock.”
Cue the PowerPoint!
Speaking of which, Little Li’s image composition skills had also improved when paired with the level of Qing Shui.
Plus, with the seed of the world, he could generate scenes at will.
The watching experience felt as if one were right there.
“In that time of heaven and earth, there was an East Victory Divine Continent. Beside the sea of the Aolai Kingdom, there was a Flower Fruit Mountain…”
Whoosh—
As the winds turned, a stone was buffeted by rain and wind, the essence of the sun and moon unfolding before their eyes.
…..
The next morning.
“Little Jiang seems to really enjoy ‘Journey to the West’.”
Li Mo leisurely got up from bed.
In his hand, he held yet another silver-gray little seal.
“Ancient Bronze Creation Seal, Secret Silver Creation Seal, Golden Heavenly Book Seal…”
“Now, I can directly transform a medium shape into a great divine form?”
Li Mo pondered.
He took out the Four Treasures of the Study, took a deep breath.
Calming his mind, he tried to locate the feeling he had when drawing the Guan Shen diagram yesterday.
Eventually.
On the jade slip, a stone leapt onto the paper.
“This is just a painting.”
“Not a Guan Shen diagram.”
Li Mo shook his head.
He just wanted to draw the moment the monkey king leaped out of that stone.
Ugh… failure!
Now there was no other choice left.
Li Mo took out the Ice Chunk painting, which had been transformed into a medium shape.
First, using the Ancient Bronze Creation Seal.
A brand new painting was separated from a blossoming radiance.
【Successful use of the Ancient Bronze Creation Seal.】
【This painting depicts Ying Bing during her breaking through the Law Body period.】
Evidently, after being upgraded to a high shape, the aura of this painting was even more elevated.
The majesty depicted within was even more supreme.
Li Mo felt no discomfort in his consciousness soul whatsoever.
“Still can continue.”
With a snap—
Just as he brushed the Secret Silver Heavenly Book Seal from Little Jiang, he pressed it onto the newly emerged artwork.
【Successful use of the Secret Silver Creation Seal.】
【This painting depicts Ying Bing in the Heavenly Connection Realm, ranked amongst the Nine Heavens period.】
At this point, the scene in the painting had transformed into a magnificent jade palace.
The palace floated in the air, overlooking all beings, indifferent to the happenings of the world below.
Its owner was as ethereal as it was.
The Ice Chunk in the painting now wore a jade-colored gown, radiating propitiousness, giving the impression that the heaven itself was under her feet, while she was uplifted to new heights.
If Ying Bing were here.
Doubtlessly, she would feel as if she had been reborn once again.
But the image of herself in the painting reflected only what she had done before.
She quietly observed the mortal realm, watching the tides ebb and flow, as if waiting for something.
“If I continue from here, it will become a great divine form.”
Li Mo gazed at the painting, his heart shaking.
Feeling his consciousness soul, he was aware of his body, yet he felt no sense of incapacity.
He could still continue.
The Golden Heavenly Book Seal slowly pressed against a corner of the painting scroll.
Buzz—
The entire scene within the scroll began to shimmer, becoming unreal.
A prompt rang out.
【Successful use of the Golden Creation Seal.】
【This painting depicts Ying Bing, ascending to celestial transformation scene!】
This was what Ying Bing had pursued all her life, a place even she had reached!
……
PS: Don’t rush, dear audience! The little foreshadowing has been laid for so long, it’s not possible to just drop a bombshell all at once! Orz.
