I Turn Out to Be a Grand Master - Chapter 179
Chapter 179: The Final Test!
Immortal Venerable Feichen was a little surprised when he saw Ye Lin’s imposing manner.
He smiled and said, “You didn’t see wrongly. You have indeed stepped into the later stage of the Celestial Immortal realm. The Danxia Sect’s cultivation techniques were related to arrays, and the ‘Cloud Afterglow immortal rhyme painting’ was originally the masterpiece of that peerless expert. It was drawn according to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths formation, and it is of great benefit to Immortals who practiced the Dao of arrays.”
“It was said that this painting was drawn by that Senior three times in a row. The Great Dao contained not only arrays, but also countless Great Daos. Great Daos have different paths to reach the same destination. It is very well reflected in this painting. How much you can experience depends entirely on your comprehension ability.”
“Disciple, you have surprised me. I originally thought that with your talent, you would only be able to advance to the early stage of the Celestial Immortal realm. I didn’t expect that you would be able to advance to the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm all of a sudden. It seems that if you continue cultivating for a period of time, you will surpass me.”
Ye Lin was so flabbergasted by the praise from Immortal Venerable Feichen. He asked curiously, “Master, why was my advancement so natural this time? There were no fluctuations at all. When I woke up, I was already in the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm. I have been trapped in the Human Immortal realm for tens of thousands of years. I never thought that advancing to the Celestial Immortal realm would be so easy.”
Immortal Venerable Feichen explained, “That’s because you’ve accumulated a lot. You should have advanced to the Earth Immortal realm a long time ago. It’s just that you’re too rigid and wooden, and you just lack an opportunity.”
“This ‘Cloud Afterglow immortal rhyme painting’ has really exceeded my expectations. It can actually allow you, who is in the later stage of the Earth Immortal realm, to advance three minor realms in a row.”
Immortal Venerable Feichen sighed softly:
“The Dao rhythm and artistic conception contained in this painting are too grand. I think that the important figure has also considered this point, which is why he specially used a special technique and did not use the slightest bit of spirit energy when painting. Even so, this painting is still a peerless treasure.”
“That painting only lacks the nourishment of spirit energy. It’s fine in the lower realm, but it doesn’t have much of an impact. However, if it reaches the upper realm and is stimulated by the omnipresent immortal spirit energy, it will display its true power. At that time, I can’t imagine how many old monsters sleeping in the Immortal World will be alarmed. Therefore, when I returned, I placed a restriction on this painting to isolate the Immortal Qi.”
“There’s not much time left for the restriction. Quickly send this painting back to the lower realm, or else you’ll bring disaster to the Danxia Sect.”
Ye Lin was puzzled. “But, Master, why doesn’t this ‘Cloud Afterglow immortal rhyme painting’ emit any aura in the lower realm?”
“Because it’s covered by the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Grand Array. The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths formation is already an immortal formation. Of course, it can isolate immortals from probing. Don’t ask too much. There are some things that won’t benefit you if you know.”
Immortal Venerable Feichen waved his hand and said, “I’m tired. I’ll take a short rest. Hurry up and deliver the painting. Go now. When you return to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths formation, the restriction will disappear. Pay attention. When you return, disguise your Celestial Immortal aura as that of a Human Immortal. If your expression is more natural, there won’t be any problems.”
“I understand.”
Ye Lin bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man, put away the painting, and quickly left the secret room.
After Ye Lin left, Immortal Feichen revealed a strange smile on his face.
“Disciple, I didn’t tell you that this final test is a test of your character. That painting is actually a fake. The real painting has long fused with Lord Formation Spirit. That was merely a projection I requested from the formation spirit. The formation spirit’s strength has already reached the Immortal Emperor level. I’m merely at the Immortal King scripture level. How can I take out that painting from the formation spirit? If you are greedy and open the painting on the way, you will trigger the imprint in the painting. Your own Great Dao of formations will be disrupted and your body will explode and die.”
Immortal Venerable Feichen’s expression was one of pain.
“Ye Lin, my good disciple. I didn’t want to test you like this, but this time, I’m working for that peerless expert. I can’t afford to be careless. If anything goes wrong with you, the entire Danxia Sect will be reduced to ashes. I can only abandon the chariot to protect myself. We’ve entered a chaotic world. Only the most cautious people can survive. I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
Immortal Venerable Feichen frowned as he muttered, “The painting of the Ancient Immortal Court is also quite strange. From the artist’s point of view, that person is located outside the Southern Heaven Gate. Even the hall behind the South Heaven Gate cannot be seen in its entirety. I reckon that he is only a low-level character in the Ancient Immortal Court.”
“However, even a small Immortal is much stronger than the current Immortal Emperor. Moreover, since the Ancient Immortal Court era, even a pig in the Immortal World has become an Almighty. That peerless expert was able to survive since the Ancient Immortal Court era when the world collapsed. He himself can not be underestimated, and his current realm is even more immeasurable. The rhyme in the painting contains the laws of Dao. Even I, an Immortal King-level existence, can not understand it thoroughly…”
Immortal Venerable Feichen stopped talking to himself and became nervous.
He seemed to have thought of something and was afraid that he would suffer a backlash if he revealed the secrets of the Heavens.
After a while, Immortal Venerable Feichen smiled bitterly:
“What happened recently? Those old monsters from the ancient times couldn’t stand the loneliness and woke up from their slumber? Could it be that the Immortal World is going to face another apocalypse?”
“Fortunately, with that peerless expert, we can at least protect the Danxia Sect from danger.”
“The matters of the Ancient Immortal Court involve a lot of things. We have to report this to the Immortal Lord as soon as possible.”
“Alas!”
Immortal Venerable Feichen let out a long sigh. With a wave of his sleeve, he disappeared from the secret room.
…
“What did you say? Say it again?”
Jianglu widened his eyes and stared at Lou Hongzhi. His face was full of shock as he said, “Senior Liu really took you in as a disciple?”
“Don’t spread rumors. Senior Liu doesn’t think much of me.”
Lou Hongzhi shook his head. Jianglu was just relieved when he heard Lou Hongzhi change the topic.
“I’m just Senior Liu’s student. I have to pay the tuition fee. Also, I can leave at any time.”
Lou Hongzhi pretended to be wronged, but his words were full of pride.
Jianglu was so envious that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
He didn’t expect that Lou Hongzhi, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and only had a sword in his mind, would actually be like what his Master had said. A fool would be blessed with dumb luck.
“Cleverness leads to cleverness.” Jianglu understood the deep meaning in his Master’s words.
Lou Hongzhi, who hadn’t returned to the Central Plains, definitely didn’t know Senior Liu’s true identity.
That Senior Liu’s true identity was a big shot in the Immortal World that even the Dao Constellation Palace had to look up to.
Jianglu’s mind was filled with the sect leader’s instructions to him.
“Jianglu, just like that Lou Hongzhi, stay by Senior Liu’s side and serve him with peace of mind. If Senior Liu has any orders and needs the Dao Constellation Palace to step in, contact me immediately.”
