I’m Really Not A Supreme Master!

Chapter 157: The Painting Slave_1

Hearing Zi Ling’s account, Nan Feng and the other disciples were all somewhat dumbfounded.

This was just too defying of the heavens…

Their master’s single painting was able to suppress the Immortal King, which surprised everyone, but it was within reason.

After all, they all understood that their master was unfathomable!

But that a painting by Zi Ling could also suppress an army of hundreds of thousands and even the Nine Great Taiyi Golden Immortals…

This seemed outrageous.

It was utterly preposterous!

Even the Gong Ya Demon Marshal was shocked for quite a while:

Such a terrifying Art of Painting, now, she’s only at the realm of a Golden Immortal. If she were to enter the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, perhaps I wouldn’t be able to withstand her single painting…”

She was somewhat dazed, was she now to witness, in such a short period of time, the young people of this small courtyard embarking on the path of invincibility?

Thinking of her own decay over thousands of years… she suddenly felt it was all too miserable!

Li Fan also took an interested glance at the painting.

“Hmm, your painting skills have improved to a certain extent, but you’ve overlooked something…”

Li Fan pointed at the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and the Taiyi Golden Immortals in the painting, saying:

“These characters have different expressions, some even faintly revealing a fierce countenance. This clearly shows you haven’t truly mastered control over these characters!”

“You’ve merely depicted their form and not reshaped their essence!”

Upon hearing this, Zi Ling suddenly saw a light shine in her heart, as if she grasped something, and anxiously asked:

“Master, is it possible to control the souls of people through painting?”

Hearing her question, everyone was also somewhat shocked. To control the souls of people in the painting through the painting?

I his… Did it mean one could turn these people into one’s own controlled… puppets?

Li Fan smiled and said:

“Of course!”

“You must know, this is your painting. You can certainly choose to calmly depict reality, to record or preserve certain people and events you want to retain, until eternity!”

However, you may also choose to become the supreme master within the painting, where anything that enters your painting is subject to your control!” Li Fan taught casually!

Yet everyone present felt as if they had been struck by a thunderbolt, as if they had witnessed the sky collapsing and the earth shattering!

To retain desired people and objects, until eternity… and to become the master, controlling everything?

“Is this the supreme Art of Painting? Terrifying… Horrific…”

“The master’s words touch upon eternity, the secrets of the universe…”

Even those who did not practice the Art of Painting could feel the supreme profundity of reaching enlightenment from just a few words from Li Fan!

A painting could be eternal!

A painting could control the divine!

“Such grandeur! Throughout the ages, looking at all immortal beings, and even those above immortality, who has such a vision and demeanor?”

Xinning murmured to herself.

As for Zi Ling, she was even more lost in thought.

It was as if she saw a light, glimpsing another world!

Another step!

“When painting, I indeed did not put my heart into controlling the characters beneath my brush, hence, those people are alive, living within my painting, but I am unable to control them…”

“If I can reach another level, everyone in the painting will become my… painting slaves? Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, including the Taiyi Golden Immortals, will all heed my commands…”

Zi Ling muttered to herself, feeling utterly dumbfounded.

Io become the master of the painting requires but a thought!”

Li Fan then smiled slightly and said:

“Come, try it. Settle your heart, calm your breath, feel the characters in the painting, erase what you do not desire, and endow them with new life.”

Upon hearing this, Zi Ling took a deep breath and stepped forward, closing her eyes!

She held the paintbrush, and at that moment, everything in the painting naturally flowed into her mind.

The first thing she felt was the unwillingness, the anger, and even a hint of fear from the Nine Taiyi Golden Immortals!

They… did not wish to enter the painting, struggling intensely!

“No, this painting is the world I’ve prepared for you… You cannot resist it, you can only… accept it!”

She murmured, then suddenly gripped the paintbrush tighter and lightly swept across the painting!

As her brush moved across the rice paper, in that instant, the nine elderly men in the battlefield, who stood out incongruously, suddenly transformed!

At that moment, their expressions and gazes no longer showed reluctance and struggle, but were filled with naturalness and tranquility, as if… they were originally creatures belonging to the world within the painting!

Hiss!

Seeing this scene, Nan Feng and the group of disciples all inhaled sharply in astonishment!

They distinctly felt that the Nine Taiyi Golden Immortals in the painting… had completely changed.

They were still the same people.

But… it was as if they had been re-endowed with souls!

“Well done. Now, these characters belong to you,”

Li Fan praised her, and with this guidance, Zi Ling’s painting skills advanced to a higher realm.

Zi Ling also suddenly murmured:

“I understand… I understand now. A painting isn’t just a painting; it’s a world, it’s life, it’s reality, it’s a human life!”

She clearly felt that now, she could easily release the Nine Taiyi Golden

Immortals from the painting.

And they… would recognize her as their master!

It was at this moment that her aura suddenly surged!

Initially at the Quintuple Heaven of Golden Immortals, she broke through consecutively!

To the Sixth Heaven!

To the Seventh Heaven!

Until the Ninth Heaven!

Then, the last closed gate also burst open with a bang!

Her aura smoothly ascended to a higher realm!

In the midst of the field, a group of disciples witnessed this, and were left somewhat… dumbstruck!

Zi Ling… just like that, she broke through to the…

Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm!

For a moment, everyone’s expressions were complicated, their eyes filled with disbelief.

“With a casual guidance from our Master, Senior Sister Zi Ling has leaped to become one of the strongest…”

Long Zixuan couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. He had observed the True Dragon and comprehended the Way, and was already in the seventh layer of the Golden Immortal Realm; he had been considered strong among his fellow brothers and sisters…

Only now did he realize that a casual instruction from their Master could surpass the arduous cultivation of countless others!

“That is just too fearsome… Who would dare to anger Zi Ling in the future…”

Dugu Yuqing secretly felt some fear.

Nan Feng, however, was extremely delighted and said, “Zi Ling, congratulations, you’ve ascended another step!”

Nan Feng was at the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm, and prior to this, she had always been the strongest. With her continuous deepening understanding of the Emperor’s Breakthrough Melody, advancing to the Taiyi Golden Immortal was just a matter of time.

“Thank you, thank you, Master—”

Zi Ling happily thanked Li Fan.

Li Fan smiled and said, “There’s no need for thanks. Go now, take this painting and refine it well.”

“Yes!”

Zi Ling happily took the painting to another side to make modifications.

She was somewhat looking forward to it. Now, the Nine Great Taiyi Golden Immortals had already become her “painting slaves.” If she could also turn these hundreds of thousands of troops into painting slaves…

By then, would there be any need to fear wars? With a mere flick of her wrist, hundreds of thousands of powerful beings would be at her behest…

At this moment.

In the boundless Void Sea Domain, worlds shimmered with a faint white light, akin to sparse stars.

Among them, some shone brightly, as large as a hen’s egg, enshrouded in mist, their light capable of illuminating many surrounding worlds.

Such worlds were rarely found in the Lower World.

1 hese were the phenomena of the large worlds within the Earth Character Realm.

These large worlds within the Earth Character Realm were far larger than the medium-sized worlds, ranging from several to dozens of times bigger. Even within the Void Sea Domain, several worlds orbited them like satellites, paying homage.

And these large worlds were often subservient to the Three Great Heavenly Realms!

The Second Celestial Realm, the Third Celestial Realm, the Fourth Celestial Realm… were the true domineering realms amidst the Million Lower Realms!

I he Dijin Realm was such a large world, surrounded by nine smaller worlds as its guard, also one of the frontier jurisdictions of the Third Celestial Realm!

The Dijin Realm was vast and boundless, with a multitude of powers, countless primordial mountain ranges, and innumerable fierce beasts.

In this world, aside from the native forces, there were branches of forces from the Immortal Domain as well.

In a primeval forest of the Dijin Realm, a magnificent palace was built.

This forest was known as the Senluo Forest.

Because it was the territory of the Senluo Holy Sect in the Dijin Realm!

And what the outside world did not know was that within the Senluo Holy Sect resided a terrifying Immortal General!

At this moment, within the grand palace.

A white-haired middle-aged war general sat indifferently at the head seat with a trace of pale gold in his eyes. He was playing with two clear white jade beads in his hands.

This man was the helmsman of the Senluo Holy Sect in the Dijin Realm, Sen

Ming Immortal General!

—Sen Ming Immortal General was one of the twelve Immortal Generals under the Senluo Immortal Monarch!

Reporting to the Immortal General, just now, a message came from the Diming Realm branch claiming that Lin Wenshi and the other Nine Great Taiyi Golden Immortals have all disappeared without a trace, and at the same time, their Soul Lamps have turned blue, suspected of life metamorphosis…”

An elder walked in, saluted deeply to Sen Ming Immortal General, and spoke gravely.

The white jade beads in the hands of Sen Ming Immortal General suddenly stopped.

He lifted his eyes and looked at the elder indifferently.

“Life metamorphosis?”

His indifferent voice sounded, saying,

“Such an event is impossible. In the Lower World, aside from the Three Great

Heavenly Realms, there are no forbidden zones!”

The elder spoke harshly, “Yet, the message from the Diming Realm is absolutely reliable!”

Sen Ming Immortal General pondered for a moment and then revealed a cold smile, “Interesting. Could it be that there truly lies a great opportunity hidden here? Never mind, I have completed my arrangements for this realm, so it’s time to see just what goblins or monsters this Diming Realm has encountered!”

After speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared directly from the chair!

The elder was startled, but he soon realized that Sen Ming Immortal General must have already appeared in the Void Sea Domain, heading towards the Diming Realm…

Meanwhile.

In the vast Void Sea Domain.

A dark shadow sliced through space with incredible speed.

After a long time, the shadow finally paused.

This was a man clad in black armor, his eyes filled with Demonic Qi, his complexion somber. He sniffed, as if searching for something specific.

And on his neck, curiously, rode a little girl who looked to be about eight or nine years old!

If the people from the little village in the Heavenly Realm were present, they would be astounded, for this little girl was the spitting image of Xinning!

Only, her eyes were filled with a certain malevolent energy.

“Stop looking, it’s in that direction. I’ve already sensed her presence!”

She pointed in a certain direction of the Void Sea Domain, patted the man’s head, and said cheerfully,

“Hurry up, I have to devour her. Once 1 devour her, I will be far ahead of the others—”

The man nodded and said,

“As you command, Demon Monarch!”

He moved his feet, turning into a terrifying black shadow, and vanished from the scene in a blink.
