Chapter 453: Chapter 238: White Painting Transformation_2

At the top of the mountain, they saw that the small island where White Painting was crossing tribulation had become enveloped in fog, completely obscuring the situation inside.

“You return and continue to guard the medicine garden. Zhi Ling, do you want to go back together?” Zhang Dao Xuan gave instructions to the three spirit beasts, and then looked at Zhi Ling.

Zhi Ling glanced at Lin Yi, seeming to understand the matter they were about to discuss, she nodded and chirped a few times.

Zhang Dao Xuan then teleported all four spirit beasts back to the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, and finally looked at Lin Yi, smiling, “Now that White Painting has passed his tribulation, you can tell what just happened.”

Lin Yi shook his head and said: “Master, I am still a bit confused. I just realized some rules of thunder and lightning, and then circulated my Golden Core, and in turn stimulated the thunder and lightning element within the Golden Core. I didn’t expect it to cause a branch of tribulation thunder.”

Hearing this description, Zhang Dao Xuan said with emotion: “The Creation Method is truly worthy of being a divine skill from a hidden sect of the Immortal Realm. It continuously brings cultivators new potentials and insights, just like when you achieved your Golden Core, you automatically absorbed the five elements. Now, even the tribulation thunder has been absorbed, it’s truly inconceivable.”

“Master, isn’t that considered taking away White Painting’s fortune?” Lin Yi asked with some concern.

Zhang Dao Xuan waved his hand and said relaxingly: “Don’t worry, it’s just a small tribulation thunder. Unless you can absorb half of the tribulation thunder, it’s not considered taking someone else’s fortune.”

“Oh, it’s a pity, in the Lower Realm, only animals have to cross the transformation tribulation, and cultivators have to reach the Upper Realm, to reach the Tribulation Crossing Stage before they can cross tribulation. Otherwise, I’d have to steal some sects’ fortunes.” Lin Yi said with some regret.

Heretical Sect cultivators also need to cross tribulation. However, legend has it that the tribulations they cross are different from those of ordinary cultivators, and the places they ascend are also different.

Otherwise, under the tribulation thunder, those guys filled with Yin Evil Qi could not withstand the righteous and yang tribulation thunder at all.

“You’re quite daring, aren’t you afraid that your appetite is too small and you won’t be able to digest these tribulation thunders?” Zhang Dao Xuan laughed.

“Hehe, Master, jokes aside, I definitely won’t do this, it’s troublesome if the Creation Method is exposed.” Lin Yi smirked, he would not be so blatant to absorb others’ tribulation thunders, it’s safer to be low-key.

Especially in the Upper Realm where Divinity Transformation level cultivators are abundant, he needs to be even more low-key. Otherwise, if he attracts enemies like Master Bi Hai who also practice the Creation Method, he would be done for.

Thus, he plans to cultivate in the Lower Realm after becoming a Divinity Transformation cultivator. Before gaining the learning title, he could only absorb Spiritual Energy and take pills. Now with the learning title, the situation has changed, he could benefit from Pill Immortal Master.

He only hopes that Pill Immortal Master lives longer and improves his realm faster, or else, he wouldn’t be able to reap benefits from him.

However, it’s wishful thinking to improve from the Divinity Transformation stage to the Refining God stage in the Lower Realm. Even with the benefits from Pill Immortal Master, it’ll probably be slow.

Back then, he’ll decide when to ascend to the Upper Realm based on his cultivation speed. After all, once he reaches the Upper Realm, he can join a sect and continue to listen to others’ classes to reap benefits.

In the Upper Realm where Divinity Transformation cultivators are everywhere and Refining Void individuals are lowly, all are fat sheep for the taking.

Of course, the immediate problem is the uncontrollable hiding effect of the Trend of Great Conservation title.

The current Golden Core Realm’s [Trend of Great Conservation] has achieved a 9-layer hiding effect. Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation will definitely gain two more stages of titles.

By then, he will be concealing more than ten layers of cultivation levels. He couldn’t possibly ascend to the Upper Realm with only Nascent Soul stage, could he?

Although he can remove the Trend of Great Conservation title to ascend with his true cultivation level, once he reaches the Upper Realm, he wouldn’t be able to don that title again.

If he could control it freely, it would be much more convenient. Whenever needed, he could turn on one layer of the hiding effect to keep his cultivation level unnoticed, which is the essence of the ‘Trend of Great Conservation’.

Wearing the Overlord Form title and showing off in the Upper Realm court exciting disaster, and would only implicate him.

Because the title bluff can elevate his cultivation level, including any aura, to layers identical to the concealment effect, however, that can only externally demonstrate a strong level of cultivation. When it’s applied to others, it’s still the real level of cultivation.

“I’m relieved to know that you still remain cautious, not putting yourself in danger,” Zhang Dao Xuan laughed and nodded, his worry was that Lin Yi might momentarily lose himself in arrogance and bring about destruction.

Then he asked again, “Has the streak of Tribulation Lightning you absorbed been converted into wood element energy now?”

Lin Yi used his Divine Consciousness In-sight, then shook his head and said, “Master, it hasn’t yet, but instead, as the form of Tribulation Lightning, it is slowly merging with the Thunder and Lightning Element in my Golden Core.”

“Good, so you not only attracted Tribulation Lightning but also comprehended some laws. I wonder what fortune completely merging this Tribulation Lightning will bring you.” Zhang Dao Xuan nodded and kept guessing in his mind.

“Maybe the Heavenly Tribulation will consider me one of its own, that would make my tribulation easier,” Lin Yi joked.

Zhang Dao Xuan couldn’t help but laugh, “You might also comprehend the law of Heavenly Tribulation and understand the secret of heaven, and then you might be able to transform into Heavenly Tribulation and execute punishment on behalf of heaven.”

“Master, I like this, I want to learn this. In the future, if someone displeases me, I’ll deliver Heavenly Tribulation on them directly,” Lin Yi’s eyes lit up, and he said hurriedly.

“That’s what you want to learn, well, I want to learn it too. You should slowly comprehend it yourself, I can’t teach it to you.” Zhang Dao Xuan responded grumpily.

Lin Yi laughed out loud. This side of his master was rare, “Master, regardless of whatever level I reach or what I comprehend, you will always be my Master.”

Master Golden Sword brought him peace within the Liu Yun Sect, while this Pill Immortal Master played a significant role in fostering his current achievements.

Zhang Dao Xuan waved his hand, “All right, go and practice.”

“Then I take my leave.” Lin Yi bowed, teleported into the Dan God’s Cave Mansion, began his cultivation, and contemplated the Five Elements.

Although he wanted to replicate the fusion of lightning and wind into a storm, the Thunder and Lightning Elements within his Golden Core were currently merging with the Tribulation Lightning, so it would have to be postponed.

After two or three months, White Painting transformed completely from a python into a Jiao Dragon, seemingly undergoing a slow transformation.

One day, Lin Yi was continuing his cultivation in his cave mansion. From the merging of the Thunder and Lightning Element and the Tribulation Lightning within his Golden Core, he gained many insights. Additionally, through the Eye of Emptiness, he continually observed the essence of the Tribulation Lightning, which yielded significant rewards.

Suddenly, he heard a message from Pill Immortal Master, “Lin Yi, White Painting is about to complete its Transformation today, don’t you want to come out and watch?”

Hearing this message, Lin Yi immediately put his cultivation on hold, cast the Teleportation Mantra, and arrived at the top of the mountain they were on previously.

At this time, Zhang Dao Xuan was on the mountain top looking at the scene below with his hands behind him. Lin Yi saluted and laughingly said, “Thank you, Master, for not forgetting about your disciple.”

He was very curious to see the transformation of White Painting and to satisfy his curiosity after all, this would be the first time he had seen a Transforming Spirit Beast since coming to the Cultivation World.

“I knew you were curious, let’s just wait here. Don’t use any tricks to break through the mist. After all, White Painting is a girl.” Zhang Dao Xuan gave a laughing scold, then advised.

Lin Yi nodded. Of course, he wouldn’t use the Eye of Emptiness to spy on the scene, but upon hearing the word ‘girl,’ a certain phrase suddenly came to mind.

As the saying goes, ‘a 3-year-old girl can break a gold brick, a 30-year-old woman can give away a country, a 300-year-old woman can provide Immortal Pills, and a 3000-year-old woman can be ranked among the Immortals.’ So, given that White Painting is about to transform into a Jiao after a thousand years, she can be considered an old ‘lady.’

After standing on the mountain top for a while, the mist below gradually dissipated and White Painting appeared within, no longer possessing a long body but instead taking on a human form.

When the mist had entirely cleared, and the now transformed White Painting appeared before him, Lin Yi had an unusual expression on his face, as this was somewhat different from what he had expected.
