Chapter 388: Am I... Like a Supreme Treasure?
Chapter 388: Am I... Like a Supreme Treasure?
"The Wine Sage firmly believes that the Blood Robe Sword Immortal dares not and cannot kill him because he needs the Jade Maiden's introduction to meet her," the Artist said, painting a helpless expression on her face again.
Qi Yuan looked at the Artist in astonishment. If Xiao Jia mastered this skill, it would be truly beneficial.
He would be able to understand Xiao Jia's emotions even better.
"The Great Calamity is unstoppable," the Artist painted a look of despair, "The Jade Maiden once said that there are a total of three thousand realms similar to the Canglan Realm.
Among them, some worlds are ten to a hundred times more powerful than the Canglan Realm and a hundred times more vast.
However, after so many years, not a single realm has successfully rebelled.
Our Canglan Realm, at best, has only gained one more Yang Immortal.
And in one of those worlds, three Yang Immortals gathered, yet they all failed to defeat the Great Calamity!"
The Artist painted another look of despair on her face.
"So every time I hear someone challenging the Great Calamity, I feel a sense of desolation.
Your fate will not be better than that Yang Immortal."
"You're just a painter, what do you know about the Great Calamity!" Qi Yuan couldn't help but exclaim, "No one understands the Great Calamity better than I do. I have already formulated a perfect and meticulous plan, the 'Qi Yuan Eliminate Great Tribulation'. In less than half a year, the Great Calamity will be destroyed!"
At the Divine Infancy Realm, he wasn't entirely confident about facing the Great Calamity.
Now, having stepped into the Purple Mansion Realm, he is almost certain of overcoming the Great Calamity.
His only concern is the mark of the Great Calamity.
If he were to destroy the Great Calamity, the Sovereign of the Grand Radiant Palace could, with a single thought, instantly annihilate all the cultivators in the Canglan Realm.
Including my junior sister, Jiang Ling Su.
Even I would be unable to protect her.
The Artist's body trembled slightly, "You may not know that all the cultivators in the Canglan Realm have been marked.
As long as the one behind the Great Calamity has a single thought, all living beings will die.
This includes your junior sister, your friends, and your loved ones."
Her tone was filled with despair.
"Sometimes, it's better to live in ignorance, not thinking about heavenly matters."
"Do you know about the mark?" Qi Yuan looked at the Odd Painter. "Did the Jade Maiden tell you about it?"
This mark could not be detected unless one has reached the Yang Immortal Realm.
It was impossible for the Odd Painter to have discovered this mark.
Then, perhaps only the Jade Maiden could have.
"The Jade Maiden is suspected to be from the Upper Realm," the Odd Painter said.
"Oh, does she know more about this mark?" Qi Yuan was very concerned about this.
He had been studying the marks on all cultivators daily, hoping to find a way to break them.
However, a proper solution has yet to be found.
The Odd Painter's body trembled slightly, "This is related to a Supreme Treasure. The Jade Maiden once said that even the Yang Immortals from the Upper Realm yearn for a Supreme Treasure.
It is said that if a Yang Immortal from the Third Heaven obtains a Supreme Treasure, they can bring their entire sect to the Upper Realm.
If our Canglan Realm possesses a Supreme Treasure, perhaps we can truly overcome the Great Calamity!"
The Odd Painter's voice trembled with excitement, despite her attempt to remain calm.
This was the solution she had been waiting for after 'letting things slide' for so many years.
Qi Yuan furrowed his brows in thought, then looked at the Odd Painter and said seriously, "Do I look like a Supreme Treasure to you?"
Odd Painter: "..."
"Your expression is making it hard for me to keep a straight face. You're not going to paint a watermelon head on yourself later and record a video, saying, 'Fellow Cultivators, today I encountered a truly speechless event...'"
Qi Yuan couldn't help but make this malicious assumption.
The Odd Painter had no face, but her expression was spot-on.
"I don't quite understand you, but it's simple," the Odd Painter said.
"I'm looking for a favor. I want you to paint something for me," Qi Yuan said, looking at the Odd Painter.
The Odd Painter glanced at Qi Yuan, "I rarely paint for others. When I do, I have certain requirements, and I won't paint something unless it meets those requirements."
"Perfect, because what I want you to paint is quite challenging," Qi Yuan said with enthusiasm, "Rest assured, I won't mistreat you. If you can paint it well, hmm, I'll leave you with a square meter of land!"
Qi Yuan spoke sincerely, and this time, he was also generous enough to offer a square meter of land.
"Oh, what are you going to paint?" The Odd Painter completely ignored the latter half of Qi Yuan's sentence.
"I'm going to paint... the Netherworld!" Qi Yuan said earnestly.
A look of surprise flashed across the Odd Painter's face, "The Underworld? It's just a legend, and there's nothing much to paint about it."
In the Canglan Realm, there were also legends of the Netherworld, and even rumors of reincarnation.
However, most cultivators didn't take these stories seriously.
Cultivators could kill others, even destroying their divine souls!
Where was the Netherworld, and how could one fall into reincarnation?
"The Netherworld I want to paint is different from what you imagine. Moreover, I will provide you with a brush, and you will use this brush to create the painting." Qi Yuan said calmly.
"I usually only use my own brush to paint. The brushes of this world, including yours, are too common..."
However, before she could finish her sentence, her body stiffened.
Two beams of light, similar to lasers, flashed across her eyes, piercing through the cover she had over her face.
She stared blankly at the Mountain River Imperial Brush in Qi Yuan's hand, her breathing quickened.
"This brush... this brush... how can there be such a brush in this world?
What kind of brush is this? Is it a treasure? No, it must be a supreme treasure!"
The moment the Mountain River Imperial Brush appeared, her mind was completely drawn to it, and she saw nothing else but the brush.
She couldn't imagine why there would be such a brush in this world.
Holding the Mountain River Imperial Brush, Qi Yuan asked, "What's so common about my brush?"
The Odd Painter was stunned for a moment, her face flushed, and she wanted to take back her words, "Too common... common belief?"
After a long time, she could only think of a word related to 'common' that could be considered a compliment.
Common belief?
"You're being a bit impolite by praising the brush like that," Qi Yuan smiled, unbothered.
The Odd Painter's eyes remained fixed on the brush, her expression constantly changing, "What exactly is this? Could it be a supreme treasure? No, a supreme treasure is just a legend, even Yang Immortals rarely obtain one, how could it appear here?"
The Odd Painter's heart was unsettled.
The brush in her hand seemed too humble compared to the Mountain River Imperial Brush.
"A supreme treasure?" Qi Yuan was taken aback, "I'm not sure, but this brush is indeed powerful."
Dong Jun had once used this brush to turn the void into reality, creating the Mountain Sea Scroll.
According to the description, it was indeed worthy of being called a supreme treasure.
However, Qi Yuan wasn't clear about the level of the treasure that belonged to the Grand Radiant Palace and the one associated with the mark.
"The brush is ready. Now, it's your turn to talk about the Netherworld."
As Qi Yuan spoke, he waved his hand, and seven PowerPoint slides appeared.
An idea came to him, and his expression suddenly turned solemn.
"Heavenly Emperor and Earthly Empress, Earth Treasury King, Ten Courts of Hell, Five Directional Ghost Emperors, show yourselves quickly!" Qi Yuan commanded, his voice like the edict of the Heavenly Emperor.
Who needs a presenter when explaining PowerPoint slides?
Qi Yuan had already discussed the structure of the Netherworld with the gods in charge of the various departments, and they had formulated a comprehensive plan.
As Qi Yuan spoke, a chill seemed to fill the entire painting studio.
More than ten figures with mysterious auras and solemn, awe-inspiring presences appeared.
Each of them carried an immense and unfathomable aura, shrouded in mystery.
The Odd Painter's expression changed slightly.
Because the strongest person she had ever seen was the Jade Maiden.
The Jade Maiden was, after all, a mythic powerhouse who reflected the heavens.
But these dozen or so individuals each had auras more mysterious and profound than the Jade Maiden's, like an unfathomable abyss.
She would believe it if someone told her they were Yang Immortals.
And at that moment, something even more shocking happened.
These dozen or so mysterious powerhouses bowed their heads to the Blood Robe Sword Immortal.
"Paying respects to the senior!"
The Odd Painter was shaken. These people actually addressed the Blood Robe Sword Immortal as 'senior'.
Could it be... could it be that the Blood Robe Sword Immortal was... a supreme treasure?
At this moment, Zhi Qi's gaze fell upon Jiang Ling Su, and a delighted smile appeared in her eyes, "This must be the senior's partner? Truly a beauty, and you two look so good together!"
Zhi Qi was referring to one of the Six Greats, the Earthly Empress.
She was also the overall commander for the creation of the Netherworld.
Jiang Ling Su's face turned red, and she looked at Zhi Qi, feeling a bit flustered.
"Ahem... don't talk nonsense. She's my junior sister," Qi Yuan coughed.
A smile appeared in Zhi Qi's eyes, "Such a beauty as a junior sister, it would be a waste if she were to marry someone else."
"Hey, Zhi Qi, don't just define women like that. Why must a girl necessarily marry someone?" Qi Yuan said.
"I have a task for you. Introduce her to the Netherworld, and then, when I find the place, help her paint it for me!"
"Don't worry, senior, Zhi Qi will complete this task well," Zhi Qi said.
Qi Yuan's gaze fell upon the Odd Painter, "Help me paint the Netherworld, and I'll give you a square meter of land."
In the great plan titled "Qi Yuan Eliminates the Great Tribulation," there is a need for further refinement and perfection.
Ah, this is undoubtedly the most magnificent scheme in the history of the Canglan Realm, worthy of being recorded in the annals of history and remade by future generations!
I hope the actor who plays me will be more handsome, or else he won't be able to capture my essence."
The Odd Painter, Jin Li, was a little dazed.
She could understand Qi Yuan's words up to a point.
But after that, it felt rather baffling.
Nevertheless, she nodded earnestly, "Okay, I'll organize it for you immediately."
She had started addressing Qi Yuan with a more respectful tone.
Initially, when she heard about Blood Robe Sword Immortal's declaration of the Annihilation Great Tribulation, she only saw a valiant hero who was willing to take on an impossible task.
Now, after witnessing the Mountain River Imperial Brush and the mysterious powerful figures surrounding Qi Yuan, a glimmer of hope emerged in her once-quiet heart.
Could he really do it? Her heart trembled, and she suppressed this fleeting worry.
She had already decided to write a letter to the reclusive organization where Wine Sage resided, asking them not to cause trouble for Blood Robe Sword Immortal.
Otherwise... it would be a death wish!
---
The rain drizzled as Qi Yuan sat in the pavilion, his gaze calm.
Every day, he observed the world's cultivators, not limited to Helan Continent.
Unfortunately, his findings were scarce.
The information he gathered about the mark was also limited.
The Odd Painter's contributions were minimal as well.
Just then, footsteps approached.
"Qi, long time no see! I heard you've reached the Purple Mansion stage, congratulations!"
Qi Yuan turned to look, and his serene face lit up with joy.
"Great Sage True Monarch, my good friend, you're finally here!"
Qi Yuan's heart settled as he looked at the approaching Great Sage True Monarch.
Whenever faced with a dilemma, Great Sage True Monarch could provide Qi Yuan with insights using his brilliant mind.
"I received your message, so I rushed over here without delay. I'm exhausted and hungry; let me eat something first." Great Sage True Monarch said as he lifted the bone hanging around his neck and chewed on it, licking it a few times.
Qi Yuan was stunned, "What a precious treasure is this?"
Seeing Qi Yuan's reaction, Great Sage True Monarch became flustered and quickly lowered the bone, "Cough, do you remember the last time we met, someone conspired against you using a sick bird, intending to make you ill?
At that time, the bird was overcooked, so I, being a discerning person, didn't eat it.
You ate the bird's meat, and I was going to keep the bone for myself..."
"I remember that because the bird was sick, I threw the bone away," Qi Yuan said, recalling clearly.
Initially, when the cultivator from Destiny Mountain plotted against him using a sick bird, Qi Yuan killed the conspirator and later used a curse to annihilate Destiny Mountain.
"Cough, didn't you seem unaffected by the illness? Doesn't that mean the bird wasn't poisonous?
I saw that the bone wasn't burnt, so I picked it up to try it.
But this bone is too tough to bite into," Great Sage True Monarch explained.
"I see," Qi Yuan nodded.
Great Sage True Monarch continued, "Regarding the mark you mentioned, I have some thoughts."
Qi Yuan's eyes lit up.
Indeed, Great Sage True Monarch lived up to his name, as he had already made progress.
"Do you remember the book I once saw in my dream?" Great Sage True Monarch asked.
"Did you also see a method to remove the mark in that book?" Qi Yuan's eyes widened.
Qi Yuan's understanding of the Yangshen Realm came from the book Great Sage True Monarch saw in his dream.
Great Sage True Monarch said, "It's there, but it's not exactly there."
"Great Sage True Monarch, stop pretending to be mysterious. Do you have the ability, or don't you, brother?" Qi Yuan asked.
"Where did that sick bird come from in the first place?" Great Sage True Monarch inquired.
"This door!" Qi Yuan waved his hand, and a small wooden door appeared.
This door was from the Destiny Mountain cultivator who had plotted against him.
The appearance of this door was related to the Ten Thousand Varieties Gate he had seen in the Windflow Realm.
"Yes, this door resembles the legendary Ultimate Principle Gate!
The Ultimate Principle Gate is a Supreme Treasure, the foremost among Odd Treasures.
It is said that all cultivators in the Immortal Realm who reach the Principle Realm leave their principles on the Ultimate Principle Gate.
This door, protected by the Principle Rule, must be able to block all marks and karma in the world!"
Qi Yuan was taken aback because he remembered that when he was in the Windflow Realm, he had also left an imprint on the Ten Thousand Varieties Gate during his enlightenment of the Primordial Talent and the Great Forgetfulness Sutra.
Am I the Principle?
How could I not know?
At this moment, Qi Yuan looked at Great Sage True Monarch with suspicion, "You understand so much; if reality were a game, you'd definitely have a close relationship with the game designer."
Qi Yuan increasingly felt that Great Sage True Monarch was shrouded in mystery, with a veil of wisdom.
Perhaps, this veil had a name: the Halo of Wisdom.
