Upon arriving at the main building, Li Hao sensed the Aura of Su Muqing and Su Wanqing. He immediately descended from the platform and stepped inside.

"Sister Lan Qin, when will the Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal arrive?"

Su Muqing asked curiously.

"On the way. Once everyone else arrives, Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal should be here too."

Another gentle voice spoke, exuding elegance like that of a lady from a prominent family.

"Are all these paintings by the Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal? They're so beautiful! They all seem to contain the Origin Great Dao life, enough to make War Weapon within a painting."

Su Wanqing's voice also came through, filled with girlish excitement and liveliness, as she exclaimed in surprise.

"These are all early works by Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal. I heard that she will be bringing her most recent paintings to this Painting Exhibition, so all of you Sisters will be able to see the originals."

That's what she said in her gentle voice.

As Li Hao entered the pavilion, he was immediately greeted by the fragrance of numerous women and saw a group of beautiful women dressed in Immortal Treasure gowns, their figures blooming like a hundred flowers in full bloom.

Among them, the most eye-catching figures were four: Su Muqing and Su Wanqing, a woman in a dark blue dress, and a girl in a light Azure dress. They were all gathered in front of the two paintings, forming a small circle, while the others formed a large circle outside.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Su Muqing's expression changed as she turned around and immediately saw Li Hao walking towards her.

Her expression changed, and she exclaimed in shock and anger, "How did you get in? Who let you in?!"

Upon hearing her sudden outburst, the previously cheerful pavilion fell silent for a moment. Everyone turned to look in surprise, and when they saw a strange young man, they couldn't help but be astonished and began to whisper among themselves.

"Who is this person who has provoked Su Clan to such anger?"

"He's quite handsome."

"Sister Muqing, what's this?"

Lan Qin, the owner of the Lake Pavilion Tower, looked at Su Muqing in surprise. She rarely saw the other party angry. After all, with the power Emperor's Might of the Su Clan, no one in Gusu Emperor Star dared to provoke this Miss True Phoenix.

"A greedy scoundrel."

Su Muqing gritted her teeth.

Su Wanqing's face was full of surprise. She wondered how Li Hao had gotten in. After all, he didn't have any Su Clan affiliation here. Could he have pretended to be a member of the Su Clan to get in?

Su Muqing and Su Wanqing thought of the same thing and immediately turned to Lan Qin, who was wearing a dark blue dress, and said, "Sister Lan Qin, he is not a Su Clan. You should have someone throw him out!"

Lan Qin was stunned, her eyes shifting slightly. She was able to mingle with these young ladies from many powerful families on Gusu Emperor Star not only because her own Lineage was also quite good, but also because of her meticulous interpersonal skills. With the power behind Su Muqing and her own strength, how could an ordinary person anger her?

Anger often arises only when one feels helpless in the face of adversity.

If it could be solved easily, why would I be angry?

Therefore, the boy's identity is somewhat questionable.

"Don't rush, Muqing."

Lan Qin comforted Su Muqing with a word, then smiled and looked at Li Hao, saying, "May I ask which noble family this young master belongs to? Today, this place is for viewing Painting Exhibition, not for a competition. I'm afraid we didn't invite you, sir?"

She spoke with tact and restraint, without rashly offending Li Hao.

Su Muqing raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Li Hao. She only knew that Li Hao was backed by the Emperor Lord, but she didn't know which powerful clan he came from. Now she wanted to hear it.

Li Hao naturally couldn't mention the Southern Region, so he skipped the earlier questions and said, "I am Haotian, and I am not here to compete or fight. I also have some knowledge of Painting Dao and have come here to appreciate it."

"You understand the Painting Dao?"

Lan Qin and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Apart from Li Hao, there were only two or three men present, while the rest of the dozens of people were women.

This Painting Dao is a minor path. Most of the men who can get close to their circle are Heavenly Prodigy, and they wouldn't be interested in such things; they're too busy cultivating.

You're talking nonsense.

Seeing that Li Hao avoided discussing his Lineage and instead spoke arrogantly, Su Muqing was furious and said, "You used the name of my Su Clan to sneak in. Sister Lan Qin did not invite you!"

Lan Qin frowned slightly and said to Li Hao, "Young Master, without an invitation, I'm afraid I cannot entertain you."

Li Hao immediately said, "Someone brought me in. My presence here has nothing to do with the Su Clan."

"Who?"

Su Muqing immediately retorted angrily, clearly not entirely believing it. If someone really brought Li Hao in, she wanted to see who was so fond of meddling in other people's business!

Li Hao shook his head. "The other party didn't give their name. I can vouch for them when we meet later."

Lan Qin looked puzzled, but seeing Li Hao's confident demeanor, she didn't think he was lying. She was in a dilemma; if she drove him away, she might offend the person who brought him in.

Although the Su Clan is the largest Su Clan here, there are two other families' daughters here as well. Could they be from the Lin Clan?

While she was pondering, Su Muqing said, "Sister Lan Qin, have someone throw him out. I don't want to see him!"

Lan Qin glanced at her, feeling a bit of a headache, and said to Li Hao, "Young Master, since Miss Su doesn't want to see you, please leave."

Li Hao frowned and looked at Su Muqing. Her face was full of anger and her eyes were full of disgust. Such an expression on her face made him feel a little uncomfortable. He sighed inwardly. They had the same body, but their personalities were worlds apart.

"Since you have come here to appreciate paintings, I have some paintings to display; why not take a look?"

Li Hao said.

A hint of surprise flashed in Lan Qin's eyes. "You really have paintings?" she asked.

The women around them began to whisper among themselves, some curious, and others realizing that Li Hao and Su Muqing had a close relationship.

Li Hao flipped his palm, and a scroll appeared in the Heaven and Earth Space. It was the scroll of the Space Origin Divine Tree of painting that he had previously comprehended in the Painting Dao of Painting.

At this moment, as the scroll appeared in the air above the pavilion, it seemed to disappear into the Heaven and Earth, emitting waves of Space Divine Tree Origin, as if rooted in the Void, with a majestic Divine Tree standing above everyone's heads.

It appears extremely close, yet also seems extremely far away, majestic and solemn.

"The Space Origin Divine Tree?"

The girl in the light Azure dress exclaimed in surprise, her eyes sparkling as she stared unblinkingly at the Space Origin Divine Tree.

Su Muqing and Su Wanqing had naturally visited the Origin City, seen the Space Origin Divine Tree, and even meditated under it.

Unexpectedly, the scroll Li Hao took out was actually of this Divine Tree, and the Painting Skill was extremely terrifying, even revealing the Dao Resonance fluctuations of the Space Origin Divine Tree.

Even meditating before this painting can have cultivation effects!

"His Painting Skill have reached Transcending Mortality and Entering Sainthood, almost transcending the realm of immortals! Such incredible Painting Skill!"

"This painting contains intense fluctuations of Space Origin, requiring at least the Spatial Origin Fourth Level cultivation to create and Perfection integrate into the artwork."

"This is absolutely a rare treasure, even comparable to a high-grade Immortal Treasure!"

The women present all came from prominent families and had keen eyes; they all recognized the extraordinary nature of the painting.

Su Muqing and Su Wanqing both loved and studied Painting Dao extensively, so they immediately recognized the terrifying nature of the painting and couldn't help but show shock in their eyes.

Clearly, they hadn't expected Li Hao to actually produce such an extraordinary painting.

"This is almost at the level of understanding the Painting Dao True Meaning..."

Lan Qin had the highest appreciation for Painting Dao, and at this moment, she was more shocked than the others, her eyes filled with awe.

Where did you get this painting from?

At this moment, the girl in the pink and Green-Robed came to her senses, immediately blinked her bright, watery eyes, and asked Li Hao with great curiosity.

Li Hao looked at the other person, his eyes extremely calm, and said, "I drew it myself."

"You drew it."

The girl in the light Green-Robed was stunned. Not only her, but Lan Qin, Su Muqing and the others were also taken aback when they heard this, and then looked at Li Hao in astonishment.

"Impossible!"

Su Muqing retorted almost immediately, angrily retorting, "Liar! With your mere hundred years of Soul Lifespan, you don't even have enough time for cultivation, how could you possibly have the energy to study this painting? Just to paint to this level, it would take at least a hundred years of hard work!"

Upon hearing Su Muqing's words, everyone's minds, which had just been stunned, were now even more shaken, leaving them completely dumbfounded!

A mere hundred years of Soul Lifespan?

Most of the women present were at the True Immortal Realm, and they could all feel the pressure of the Immortal Lord Realm emanating from Li Hao. The seven or eight Immortal Lord Realm present could see Li Hao's realm at a glance, since Li Hao had stopped deliberately hiding his cultivation level after listening to Old Wang's words.

Otherwise, if his Panel Attributes were activated, those whose cultivation levels were far higher than his, even those at the Immortal King Realm, would not be able to see through it and would inevitably suspect that he possessed a great treasure, thus developing a desire to seize and kill him.

"A hundred years of Soul Lifespan, the Immortal Lord Realm? Did Su Muqing just say that, or did I mishear?"

"How is that possible? He only has Soul Lifespan of a hundred years?"

The women were all utterly shocked, even more so than when Li Hao presented the painting.

After all, Painting Dao was just a hobby for them; their main focus was on cultivation.

Especially in the Northern Region, all Immortal Deity Lineage, from the Family Head to the servants, can feel the importance of cultivation; otherwise, if they encounter Demon outside, their fate will be extremely tragic.

Lan Qin and the girl in the pink Green-Robed were also stunned, looking at Li Hao in disbelief, and then at Su Muqing.

When I saw the angry look on his face, my heart pounded, and I felt that what he said might be true.

With Soul Lifespan of a hundred years and the cultivation of the Immortal Lord Realm, there is no doubt that the young man before us is an unparalleled Heavenly Prodigy, perhaps even unheard of!

Only such an existence could make this proud Su Clan's True Phoenix so Anger, yet so helpless!

"Muqing, is he really only Soul Lifespan for a hundred years?"

Despite her speculation, Lan Qin couldn't help but whisper to Su Muqing to confirm.

Upon hearing the question and the whispers around her, Su Muqing's face immediately turned extremely ugly. For some reason, seeing Li Hao in the limelight made her feel even more embarrassed than if she herself had lost face.

Seeing that he did not answer, Lan Qin turned her gaze to Su Wanqing, who was easier to talk to, and saw Su Wanqing nod slightly. Her heart sank as if hit by a heavy hammer, and she was shocked. When she looked at the boy again, there was a deep sense of horror in her eyes.

As far as she knew, even the Emperor Son of the Lin Clan had only just entered the True Immortal Realm when he Soul Lifespan one hundred. Nevertheless, he was already famous throughout the entire Gusu Emperor Star!

Subsequently, his Bloodline power was revealed in the True Immortal Realm, his cultivation soared to the heavens, he swept aside all opponents in the same realm, and even dominated against adversity.

Lan Qin regained her composure, her expression softening as she looked at Li Hao, and asked, "Young Master Haotian, is this painting... truly your work?"

"Nature."

Li Hao nodded.

The girl in the light Green-Robed appeared before Li Hao with a graceful sway, seemingly wanting to get closer and examine Li Hao more closely. Then, she grinned, her eyes sincere and earnest, and said:

"My name is Jiang Huanhuan, you can call me Huanhuan!"

Li Hao was slightly taken aback, then said, "You can just call me Haotian."

"Huanhuan!"

Upon seeing Jiang Huanhuan's actions, Su Muqing's expression changed drastically, and she nearly exploded with anger, exclaiming, "He's a liar! You have no idea how despicable he is!"

Jiang Huanhuan was also friends with Su Muqing, looked at Su Muqing with suspicion upon hearing this and said, "Despicable?"

Su Muqing gritted her teeth, wanting to tell him about Li Hao's forced marriage with the Betrothal Document and his shameless harassment of her, but the words caught in her throat, and she felt they would be too embarrassing. So she could only grit her teeth and say:

"He's utterly despicable, a shameless scoundrel. No matter how Heavenly Talent he is, he'll never achieve anything great. His Dao Heart is extremely low; he only wants wealth and status. He's completely unworthy of his Bloodline and aptitude!"

Upon hearing Su Muqing's words, everyone exchanged glances and looked at Li Hao with puzzled expressions.

What makes you say that?

Jiang Huanhuan, however, was full of curiosity.

Su Muqing kept a tight face, naturally unwilling to talk about the fact that she would be harassed by Li Hao for a hundred years, finding it difficult to speak.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Huanhuan turned her head, looked Li Hao over carefully again, and suddenly smiled, saying:

"Is there some misunderstanding between you and Sister Muqing? Do you want me to help you clear things up?"

Li Hao hadn't expected the girl to be so kind to him after hearing Su Muqing's words. He shook his head slightly and said, "There's nothing to explain."

Jiang Huanhuan was somewhat surprised, realizing that there must be something unspeakable Mortal World. She didn't delve into it, and steered the conversation back to the painting of the Space Origin Divine Tree, saying:

"Did you really draw this yourself?"

"Um."

Li Hao nodded.

Jiang Huanhuan gazed at him for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "I believe you."

After saying that, she skipped and hopped back to Lan Qin and Su Muqing's side like a happy little sparrow.

Su Muqing's face turned black with anger upon hearing Jiang Huanhuan's words. However, Jiang Huanhuan came from the Jiang Family, whose status on Gusu Emperor Star, while not as high as the Su Clan, was not far behind. Her ancestors included Heavenly Prodigy Immortal Emperor, and the Jiang Family had produced many outstanding talents in the previous generation, spreading their influence far and wide. Although the Four Little Phoenixes of this generation were even more amazing among other major clans, the legacy of the previous generation ensured a balanced and complementary relationship.

"Is this your painting?"

At that moment, a gentle voice rang out.

Everyone inside the pavilion shuddered and turned to look, only to see a familiar figure approaching.

"Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal!"

Lan Qin's eyes lit up when she saw the other person, and she went to greet them.

Su Muqing, Su Wanqing, and the others also looked Past and saw an elegant and aloof woman walking slowly towards them, her Exquisite Silk Skirt fluttering and shimmering, like Fairy from a painting.

Li Hao was somewhat taken aback when he saw who it was; it was actually her?

"The Space Origin Divine Tree..."

Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal, gazed intently at the suspended painting, then her eyes slowly fell upon Li Hao. "What did you paint?"

Li Hao looked at the two maids beside him and finally realized he hadn't misread it. He nodded and said, "That's right."

"His Painting Skill are truly remarkable, reaching the pinnacle of artistry, the ultimate achievement in the mortal realm."

Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal nodded slightly, offering her comments and approval of Li Hao's Painting Skill.

Li Hao's assessment of this was not one of delight; it was simply the truth.

After all, reaching the Eleventh Dan of the Painting Dao signifies Transcending Mortality and Entering Sainthood and entering the Immortal Dao.

Hearing Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal's words, everyone was even more amazed by Li Hao's painting. To receive praise from Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal, it must be an absolutely stunning work.

Lan Qin stepped forward and asked, "Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal, did you bring Haotian in?"

Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal, nodded slightly and said, "He said my paintings were mediocre outside the Sealing Array Barrier, so I brought him in to see what he thought of them."

After speaking, he glanced indifferently at Li Hao.

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was happening, and then looked at Li Hao with strange expressions. He actually said that Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal's paintings were mediocre?

I'm afraid he doesn't know that the paintings exhibited outside are Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal's early works.

Thinking of this, everyone felt ashamed for Li Hao.

"As expected, they were audacious and arrogant. Those paintings were merely for those who were new to the Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal of Painting Dao to appreciate."

Su Muqing couldn't help but sneer, "You really think you can look down on everyone just because you have some Painting Skill? Truly, your Dao Heart is low, and you can't stand being in power!"

Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal looked at this Miss Su with some surprise, but since the other party was speaking up for her, she showed goodwill in her eyes, nodded slightly to Su Muqing, and then said to Li Hao:

"Although your Painting Skill are superb, since we're here, how about we each display a painting for everyone to appreciate and enjoy?"

Li Hao had never truly Sparring with anyone on the Painting Dao. When he was with the Dream Master, they only discussed the Painting Dao; it wasn't a real contest or Sparring of skills.

Upon hearing this, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

Just as Swordsman would not refuse Swordsman's invitation to Sword Dao.

"OK."

Li Hao nodded.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard that the two were going to paint on the spot; they hadn't expected to see such a good show.

Lan Qin was overjoyed and immediately waved her hand to clear a space, saying:

"This pavilion is too small. Why don't we go to the lake outside to view the exhibition?"

Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal nodded slightly.

Soon, everyone took to the air and flew to the top of the pavilion, arriving above the Lake.

"Sister, why does he insist on following you?"

Su Wanqing and Su Muqing arrived together above the lake and stood side by side. Su Wanqing couldn't help but ask in a low voice, full of curiosity.

She could sense that the young man didn't have an arrogant air about him; everything he did was probably just a means to get him to follow her in.

"How should I know? You're trying to move me with such a stupid trick. How ridiculous."

Su Muqing responded with a cold laugh.

Thinking of the century-long promise, Su Wanqing nodded, a sigh of regret escaping her lips.

At this moment, Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal and Li Hao arrived above the Lake and confronted each other in the open space cleared by the crowd.

The contest here, and the appearance of the Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal, immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the other pavilions, and in an instant, the surroundings were filled with figures.

"Who is that? What are they doing?"

"To compete with the painter Long Yun in the Painting Dao?"

Most of the people present were women, and they started chattering amongst themselves.

Lan Qin raised her hand and said in a deep voice, "Silence."

A powerful aura emanated from the Immortal Lord Realm Peak, instantly silencing the entire arena.

Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal, calmly observed Li Hao. Although Li Hao's painting of the Space Origin Divine Tree surprised her somewhat, she found it intolerable that he had insulted her early works, as if he were bullying her young child. She decided to teach him a lesson.

"I'll show you a realm beyond the form of the painting..."

Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal spoke slowly. She raised her hand, and the light pearls and Immortal Treasure on her Exquisite Silk Skirt shone brightly. Immortal Power vibrated out from her body, and in an instant, the Heaven and Earth and landscape around her changed completely!

With a wave of the hand, the Heaven and Earth changes!

The Painting Realm emanates from his body, spreading outwards in all directions, like Dao Domain.

But this is not Dao Domain; it is Painting Realm constructed purely with Immortal Power!

Previously, Li Hao had been in the Langya Painting Realm at the Dream Master's place, so he was no stranger to this Painting Realm.

At this moment, with the appearance of the Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal, gasps of surprise rang out throughout the arena, which even Lan Qin's immortal power could not suppress.

Painting Realm!

All the women present had shining eyes, and a few men among them had eyes full of admiration, wishing they could kneel down before that Exquisite Silk Skirt.

"The Painting Realm —this is the transcendent state of Painting Dao, the Painting Dao True Meaning, which is called the Painting Realm!"

Su Muqing's eyes fell into a daze. At this moment, the anger she felt towards Li Hao was put aside, and her eyes were filled with amazement and love, as if she were looking at a precious treasure!

Beside her, Jiang Huanhuan and Su Wanqing were equally mesmerized, their hearts filled with admiration. To reach such a level, with their Painting Skill, they wondered how many more years they would need to practice.

However, they are also engaged in cultivation and cannot devote themselves fully to it, so it is likely that they will not be able to touch it for another thousand years.

"This is Dragon Lake Immortal Realm."

As Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal spoke softly, a series of low roars and vibrations immediately resounded in her Painting Realm, as if rushing out from the deep mountains of ancient times. Streams of Dragon Soul condensed in the Painting Realm, and in that Painting Realm that changed the color of Heaven and Earth, Long Ying soared and coiled everywhere.

The Lake beneath their feet, rendered in the Painting Realm, has transformed into an ancient, Savage Wilderness lake, its waves surging, True Dragon soaring and leaping, splashing up thousands of waves.

"So powerful! I couldn't even see how those Dragon Soul came out!"

"That was painted with Immortal Power; with a wave of the hand, a thousand dragons soared into the sky. The Painting Realm was like a vast, World Domain Dao Arena; it was no simple painting!"

"That's right, the Painting Dao is also a Way. Reaching the level of Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal, the Painting Realm is also Dao Domain, even surpassing the Dao Domain, and can be used to kill enemies and slay demons!"

Everyone was filled with amazement. The Painting Realm was not just for viewing; the Dragon Soul within it, stripped of their physical forms, were beings with real power.

Accompanied by the Whispers of dragons, a thousand dragons roared in unison. This powerful aura emanated from the Painting Realm, causing everyone present to tremble as if their blood were boiling, raising goosebumps and giving them a feeling that their very souls were being shaken.

Standing before the Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal, Li Hao's gaze was relatively calm. This Dragon Lake Painting Realm was quite powerful, but compared to it, he preferred the magnificent and mysterious Langya Painting Realm of the Dream Master, where surprises awaited at every turn.

"Although your paintings have reached the pinnacle of artistry, they are ultimately still bound by form..."

Dragon Rhyme Painting Immortal Whispers, her eyes indifferent, looking down at Li Hao with a slight air of superiority.

Although the other person's Painting Skill were extremely good, and if there hadn't been a previous conflict, she might have even discussed Painting Skill with them and shared some experience. However, since her artwork had been insulted, she had to make the other person apologize.

Li Hao remained silent, and slowly closed his eyes.

Painting Realm...

As he closed his eyes, in an instant, Immortal Power surged forth from his body, causing distorted fluctuations in the Void. The power of time and space surged, and the power of the Nine Sequences Great Dao subtly alternated.

A vast, desolate, and ancient feeling, as if a soft sigh came from the distant past, rippled from the boy's body, spreading out like a scroll painting, causing the Heaven and Earth to lose its color, and a flowing, Years power emerged.
