Ziling Proves Immortality

Not long after.

Within a mysterious celestial palace.

A young girl in a white dress is feeding a few golden kernels of Corn to a bird perch called a "causebird".

Her face was serene, as if nothing in this world could stir her emotions.

"Wangcai requests an audience with its master!"

At this moment, the voice of the White Tiger Immortal King rang out from outside.

Come in.

The White Skirt Girl spoke softly.

The White Tiger Immortal King had already transformed into human form, his hair now completely white. He respectfully said:

"Master, Wangcai has two things to report."

"Firstly, a descendant with Supreme Ancestral Blood has appeared in our clan, triggering the imprint left by the Ten Ancient Heavenly Kings of our clan. The Primordial Heavenly Lord have issued a decree, ordering Wangcai to find this descendant and become his protector!"

Faced with this young girl, the White Tiger Immortal King dared not conceal anything, treating her with the utmost reverence.

He revealed even the most important secrets concerning the success or failure of their entire clan.

The White Skirt Girl smiled and said:

"Supreme Ancestral Blood?"

"Impossible... Unless one is born in my palace, it's impossible for the perfect bloodline of your ancestors to evolve. I'm not interested in this."

"However, you cannot disobey your ancestors' wishes. Considering your diligent service, I will allow you to create a clone to protect your descendants."

Upon hearing this, the White Tiger Immortal King was overjoyed and extremely grateful. He then said:

"Reporting to Master, there is another matter. The True Phoenix Clan you are looking for... has been located!"

Upon hearing this, the White Skirt Girl suddenly stopped feeding the animals, turned around, and said, "Tell me about it."

The White Tiger Immortal King respectfully said:

"This matter is still related to my descendant. She wielded a phoenix feather and broke through my clan's Void Geng Great Array!"

"She must know the whereabouts of the True Phoenix Clan!"

Upon hearing this, the White Skirt Girl raised an eyebrow, looking incredibly beautiful, and said:

"Now that you mention it, it's getting interesting... I've suddenly become interested in your descendant."

"Have your grandson, Bai Shaoyang, go again and bring her here."

She spoke.

Upon hearing this, the White Tiger Immortal King was overjoyed. If the descendant named Bai Xiaoqing could come here, then nothing could harm her!

The White Tiger Immortal King immediately said respectfully:

"Yes, sir! Wangcai obeys!"

He withdrew.

"That's a bit strange..."

After the White Tiger Immortal King left, the White Skirt Girl still frowned slightly and said:

"Could it be because I waded into the River of Cause and Effect a few days ago and became entangled with that white mist? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence..."

She was very sensitive to cause and effect, and this coincidence alerted her.

"That shouldn't be the case. How could the karma of the Yin Realm affect people in the Yang Realm?"

"Strangeness..."

She pondered.

But the bird on her perch, the causal bird, cried out loudly:

"Cause and effect, cause and effect, cause and effect!"

The White Tiger Immortal King left the Immortal Palace.

Outside, Young Sun True Lord was waiting. Seeing his grandfather come out, he couldn't help but step forward and say:

"Old Ancestor, how is it? What did the master say?"

Upon hearing this, the White Tiger Immortal King, with an excited expression, said:

"Your master orders you to bring Bai Xiaoqing here immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Shaoyang was overjoyed!

"That's wonderful! The Supreme Ancestral Blood —if it were outside, even the King of Immortality would probably try to kill her. Now that she's here, no one can harm her!"

Bai Shaoyang spoke with delight.

"Go find him quickly. To ensure your safe journey, take this item with you, for it contains an avatar of mine!"

The White Tiger Immortal King immediately took out a tiger tooth pendant and handed it to the Young Sun True Lord.

Young Sun True Lord excitedly accepted it and said:

"Shaoyang will definitely bring her back!"

After saying that, he immediately turned and left!

Now.

Heaven.

In Small Mountain Village.

In the Small Courtyard, Li Fan continued his leisurely life as always.

Nan Feng has become increasingly familiar with the new chapters recently. He feels that Nan Feng is only one thought away from entering a new realm in music.

However, he did not take the initiative to offer guidance, because some things Nan Feng needed to understand on his own.

Meanwhile, Long Zixuan finally started fishing, but he didn't catch anything.

Qing Chen chased the large black spider everywhere every day, sweeping one spot after another with her broom, her movements becoming increasingly agile.

Recently, Wu Dade has actually started to work out to improve his physical fitness. He says he wants to build up his tough skin to prevent dogs from biting him, which Li Fan finds quite bizarre.

Jiang Li grasped the essence of Go extremely quickly. Li Fan gave him a book called "The True Explanation of Go," which he read with great enthusiasm and became completely absorbed. Recently, he even learned to play Go against himself.

Lin Jiuzheng was studying the book "Primal Creation Scripture" that Li Fan had given him every day, and at the same time, he practiced drawing talismans every day. Occasionally, when he encountered something he couldn't draw or couldn't understand, Li Fan would give him pointers.

Dugu Yuqing's calligraphy continued to improve, and he had mastered both horizontal and vertical strokes. Li Fan then taught him basic brush techniques such as dots, left-falling strokes, right-falling strokes, and hooks.

Li Fan told him that once he mastered these skills, he could try writing his first character!

This greatly excited Dugu Yuqing, and he studied and practiced diligently, making astonishing progress every day.

Lu Rang, on the other hand, started shouting and yelling even more today:

"My grass has mutated! My grass has mutated!"

Everyone turned to look, and saw that the veins of every blade of grass in the pot that Lu Rang had turned blood red!

"This... why do I sense... an aura of immortality emanating from this potted plant?!"

The fishing rod in Long Zixuan's hand fell to the ground with a snap; he was shocked.

"Although it hasn't fully become an immortal herb, it already possesses a trace of immortality... Could this herb have acquired some kind of life?"

Nan Feng murmured to herself, for she was even more familiar with immortality, and thus clearly sensed that the grass was silently approaching immortality...

Almost any single leaf could kill a Great Immortal!

Everyone in the courtyard was shocked.

"How far will this plant grow in the future...?"

Gongya felt her heart pounding.

This is unheard of!

But it actually happened today!

"The grass grown from the ashes of the First King of Immortality of the First Heavenly Realm will likely have immeasurable potential for future growth..."

Even Xin Ning's big eyes were darting around!

"Damn it, I'm still figuring out how to enter the Immortal Realm, and you, the grass is already at the same level as me?!"

Dugu Yuqing looked at Lu Rang, indignant!

"Ahem, this is genius, this is truly genius!"

Lu Rang looked smug!

In reality, his true cultivation level had only just broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm.

In the entire courtyard, he was only slightly better than Wu Dade and Jiang Li, who arrived later.

Even the Little White Cat is better than him...

Li Fan smiled and said:

"Very good. The veins of the grass are like blood, which shows that all things have a spirit. Being able to grow such grass is enough to prove that your cultivation methods have made great progress."

Upon hearing this, Lu Rang was overjoyed and said:

"Master, what should I do next?"

Li Fan thought for a moment and said, "If you're not afraid of pain, try dripping a few drops of your blood down every day?"

This method is indeed among the planting and breeding methods provided by the system.

It is said that the grass grown from trees can communicate with people's hearts.

Upon hearing this, Lu Rang was as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He turned around, picked up the Wood-cutting Knife, and cut his wrist to bleed!

Li Fan was astonished by what he saw; this disciple's execution ability was off the charts!

He shook his head, not paying any more attention, and said, "Xin Ning, Ziling, time to learn poetry."

Xin Ning and Ziling immediately brought over small stools and sat down.

"The poem I'm going to teach you today is titled 'Painting'!"

Li Fan spoke, glancing at Ziling.

Ziling's big eyes instantly lit up; she understood—her master was about to give her some guidance!

"From afar, the mountains are colorful; up close, the water is silent."

Spring has gone, but the flowers remain; people are here, but the birds are undisturbed.

Li Fan wrote it down word by word, and then read it aloud!

In an instant, a deep look of contemplation appeared in Ziling's large eyes!

This contains a certain principle of movement and stillness, of illusion and reality...

This is hers...

Bottleneck!

She began to ponder, and at the same time, took out her easel and couldn't resist starting to paint!

A painting was completed quickly.

"What a beautiful painting, imbued with an immortal spirit!"

Everyone was astonished!

However, Ziling remained calm and composed, without pausing for a moment, and immediately began painting another picture!

A new painting, with an even stronger sense of timelessness!

Everyone was even more alarmed, and in an instant, they all stopped what they were doing and looked at Ziling!

Ziling painted one picture after another!

A dozen or so paintings in a row!

In each painting, the aura of immortality multiplies, and the principles of Tao tend towards perfection!

"Senior Sister Ziling is breaking through?!"

"She's about to enter the realm of immortality?!"

"Yes, the immortal principles are applied with ease in her writing, seamlessly blending poetry and painting, leading her to take that step..."

In an instant, everyone was utterly shocked!

Ziling, on the other hand, was completely absorbed in the moment!

"From afar, the mountains are colorful; up close, the water is silent... With a single stroke, the distant and the near, the grand and the delicate, the tranquil and the sound... all should be present!"

She murmured!

With a stroke of the brush, mountains rise and fall, and springs gurgle and sing!

"Spring goes but the flowers remain, people live but birds are undisturbed... Spring goes but the flowers remain, this is eternity; people live but birds are undisturbed, this is harmony. Only harmony can last forever; only balance can ensure invincibility..."

Ink splashes, spring blossoms and autumn harvests, a harmonious and eternal cycle!

I stopped writing in an instant!

Her aura suddenly changed!

A powerful aura, imbued with the essence of the universe, emanated from her!

That's... Primordial Chaos Immortal Qi!

The Great Luo Golden Immortal, by merging with the Qi of the Great Dao, attains the Primordial Golden Immortal status, and the Primordial Golden Immortal is thus called immortal!

Ziling... has already entered the realm of immortality!

At this moment, everyone in the Small Courtyard was somewhat dazed and extremely shocked!

Prove the Way through painting!

In the Small Courtyard, Li Fan's many disciples all seemed somewhat dazed.

"Senior Sister Ziling, you have entered the Immortal Realm and can now be called a Celestial Lord..."

Long Zixuan murmured.

"That's truly terrifying. Senior Sister Ziling is only in her early twenties, right? Immortals of that age are probably only found in the most ancient primordial era..."

Qing Chen was also in a daze.

"That's great, that's great!"

Nan Feng was overjoyed.

Xin Ning, at that moment, also opened her eyes in a daze.

Her eyes were incredibly clear, and possessed an added touch of ethereal beauty.

"I... am immortal??"

She was somewhat shocked.

"Xin Ning, how did you do that?"

Nan Feng stepped forward, smiling as she asked a question.

"I... I was just painting based on the poem that Master just recited..."

Ziling looked completely bewildered; how exactly had she attained immortality?

Is this true immortality or just a fake one? Is it really that easy?

She even started to doubt herself.

Upon hearing this, everyone's thoughts became even more complicated.

"Master is too powerful. Immortal? In his eyes, that's nothing but child's play..."

"A single poem can lead one to immortal enlightenment..."

"Master is too terrifying."

They were increasingly moved.

"Oh, right,"

At this moment, Lin Jiuzheng asked in confusion:

"Why was it that when Miss Xin Ning broke through, the heavens sensed it, almost draining the entire celestial realm's spiritual Spiritual Qi, while Ziling World's attainment of immortality was so simple? It didn't even cause any commotion?"

Upon hearing this, Xin Ning said with some complicated feelings:

"The laws of the outside world are lacking too much, so it requires the spiritual Spiritual Qi of the entire world to supply it..."

"And here, the Dao Rhyme and Spiritual Qi needed by immortals are but a drop in the ocean compared to the entire Small Courtyard... so of course they won't cause any disturbance."

As soon as she said that, everyone understood instantly.

At the same time, they were even more shocked. They all knew that this Small Courtyard was extraordinary, but they never expected it to be extraordinary to this extent!

Even the immortals' attainment of enlightenment cannot cause any fluctuations?

However, considering that the grass Lu Rang planted could grow silently to a near-immortal state, everyone felt relieved.

Acceptable!

However, at this moment, Li Fan also nodded, agreeing that Ziling had a truly remarkable talent for drawing.

He specifically recited the poem "Painting" by the great Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei, because Wang Wei's poems are known for their blend of poetry and painting, and Xin Ning indeed understood this.

He smiled and looked at Ziling, saying:

"Great, you've made another breakthrough."

Hearing her master say this, Ziling finally believed that she had truly entered the Immortal Realm!

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

She spoke with great joy, her pretty face flushed with excitement!

"Haha, just for this alone, it's worth a drink tonight."

Li Fan smiled and said:

"Lu Rang, go and dig out a jar of wine!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples were overjoyed, as it meant they were about to enjoy another great fortuitous opportunity.

That's wine brewed by Li Fan himself. With every sip, their potential and aptitude will reach a new level.

It could be said that, living in this Small Courtyard every day, consuming sacred medicine and drinking from the Sacred Spring, the physical constitution of this group of disciples...

I could never have imagined this!

Is Senior Li here?

At that moment, the voices of Huo Ling'er and the others came from outside the door!
