A Stroke That Drew Out a Beast Tide

Everyone was shocked to see this!

"Sister Xin Ning... has become Saint Dao beings..."

The Nan Feng seemed a bit dazed!

"One thought enters Saint Dao; Master's poem shaped her, and the principles of creation contained within it also inspire me..."

Ziling's big eyes sparkled, as if she had discovered a new continent!

"Immortal and Devil Dual Cultivation, Xin Ning walks this path more naturally and seamlessly than the Emperor of Black and White, directly reaching the Holy Path... Master, you are truly omniscient!"

Jiang Li was even more moved, Xin Ning had taken the path of Immortal and Devil Dual Cultivation and proving the Dao as King of Immortality, which reminded him of the Emperor of Black and White who had disappeared not long ago.

He sighed softly.

"Devil Lord... no, now you have become Saint Dao beings."

Gongya looked at Xin Ning, her face also filled with excitement!

In his previous life, the Nine Saints Devil Lord failed to become a King of Immortality and was transformed into nine Primordial Soul.

In this life, Xin Ning not only took that step, but did so with such ease!

All of this stemmed from a poem by Li Fan!

She idolized Li Fan immensely.

Xin Ning was also shocked at this moment.

She bowed deeply to Li Fan.

"Thank you so much Big Brother!"

At the same time, she also looked at the Immortal Peach Tree next to her.

Just now, she clearly felt that the Immortal Peach Tree had bestowed upon her a Saint Dao Qi!

--The first stage of the path to sainthood: Saintly Guidance!

Draw the Saint Dao Qi into your body!

The higher the level of the Saint Dao Qi introduced into the body for the first time, the more one can comprehend in an instant, and the more terrifying one's future achievements will be!

This Immortal Peach Tree only bestowed a wisp of sacred aura, but Xin Ning felt that she saw the myriad ages of the heavens!

She was immediately filled with gratitude and awe!

The Immortal Peach Tree planted by Master is probably already a top-tier Saint Dao beings, right?

That's terrifying!

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the disciples around him, Li Fan smiled slightly and said:

"Spring is a wonderful time of year, when all things grow and creation is boundless. You can go out for a walk and experience the beauty of the world."

Upon hearing this, all the disciples were even more alarmed!

"Master's words clearly mean that the Golden Great Era has arrived, the era of geniuses from all races vying for supremacy has begun, and we are to go out and gain experience!"

Dugu Yuqing suddenly realized!

"Yes, we spend all our time cultivating in the Small Courtyard, lacking real combat experience!"

Lu Rang was even more energetic, having been stuck in the village for three months, doing farm work the whole time.

"Ziling, Nan Feng, come with me for a walk and a spring outing."

Li Fan spoke with a smile.

Having been busy with farming for so long, he hadn't had a proper chance to explore the mountains and rivers of the Immortal Realm since arriving!

Nan Feng and Ziling were overjoyed upon hearing this.

Immediately, Li Fan left the Small Courtyard with Nan Feng and Ziling.

And at this moment.

Beyond the Northern Great Wasteland, a group of people gradually approached!

This group of people came from a remote town outside the Northern Wasteland — Holy Cloud City!

The leader of them was a woman.

The woman wore a magnificent long dress, her pretty face filled with pride and a sense of superiority.

She is Su Bai Ru, the eldest daughter of Su Xingde, the Sect Master of the Precious Medicine Sect!

Behind her followed an old woman and a pretty young girl dressed in coarse cloth clothes, carrying a medicine basket on her back.

The old woman was Elder Qi of the Precious Medicine Sect. Her face was full of fat, and her eyes were sinister.

"Su Baiqian, if you can't find a single Xuan-grade spirit medicine this time and can't save my mother, that bitch of yours is dead!"

Looking at the vast wilderness before her, Su Bai Ru suddenly turned around and coldly stared at the girl dressed in coarse cloth!

This young girl is Su Baiqian, the second daughter of Sect Master Su Xingde!

Su Bai Ru and Su Baiqian are half-siblings!

However, their fates were different.

Su Bai Ru's mother was once just a maid in the Precious Medicine Sect!

This time, Su Bai Ru's mother is seriously ill and requires a special Xuan-level medicinal herb to cure her!

Su Baiqian, on the other hand, had been studying diligently in the sect and possessed exceptional talent in the art of Way of Medicine. Her understanding of medicinal properties even surpassed that of the sect's elders.

Therefore, for the past ten days, Su Bai Ru has been forcing Su Baiqian to search everywhere.

All that's left is this vast wilderness!

"I will do my best."

Su Baiqian spoke in a low voice.

"Let's go in!"

The group immediately set off!

Soon.

"Did you find it? Did you find it or not?"

As they ventured deeper into the mountains, Su Bai Ru spoke impatiently!

"Profound-grade spiritual medicine contains a trace of the Saint Dao charm, and the Holy Path has only recently reappeared in the world, making it very difficult to find..."

Su Baiqian spoke in a low voice.

"You dare talk back?"

Elder Qi, the old woman beside Su Bai Ru, suddenly slapped her across the face!

"Smack!"

A red handprint instantly appeared on Su Baiqian's face!

A look of humiliation flashed in her eyes, but she still lowered her head.

"You little hussy, don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

Elder Qi said coldly:

"Your mother, that bitch, gave birth to you. You're a bastard. In our Precious Medicine Sect, you're nothing but a little bitch!"

Utterly insulting!

Seeing this, Su Bai Ru suddenly smiled and said:

"Little bitch, hurry up and keep sniffing, where are the spirit medicine around here?"

"If I can't find it, I'll kill your mother, that bitch, and use her life to prolong my mother's life!"

She spoke without any mercy!

Su Baiqian lowered her head, her eyes filled with unparalleled hatred.

She clenched her fists tightly, but she could only keep moving forward.

If they can't find Profound-grade spiritual medicine to save Su Bai Ru's mother, her mother will really die!

Soon.

They went deeper and deeper.

"No, this land ahead... it feels terrifying!"

At this moment, Elder Qi suddenly spoke up!

A hint of apprehension flickered in her old eyes!

Upon hearing this, Su Bai Ru frowned.

Their Precious Medicine Sect is affiliated with the Lingdan Sect, a top-tier power in the Northern Frontier!

During this period, a new order and system had already formed in the Immortal Realm.

Only those forces possessing a Saint Induction level expert can be considered first-rate!

Their Precious Medicine Sect only has two Primordial level cultivator, and both of them only appeared because of the Lingdan Sect's favor. The Precious Medicine Sect is simply a third-rate force!

Elder Qi is one of the two Primordial Realm cultivators!

Even Primordial level cultivator have some level of vigilance!

Su Baiqian, however, frowned slightly and said:

"There might be Profound-grade spiritual medicine inside!"

She sensed that the deeper she went, the stronger the Saint Charm seemed to become.

"You little bitch, are you trying to get us killed?!"

Elder Qi grabbed her and angrily said, "Don't think I can't see through your intentions!"

"Hehe, Elder Qi, there's no need to be angry."

Su Bai Ru sneered and said:

"Su Baiqian, since you say there might be spirit medicine inside, then go and pick them!"

We're waiting for you here.

"If you can't collect it, I'll take your mother's lifeblood!"

Her eyes held a malicious glint!

Upon hearing this, Su Baiqian's face turned pale.

Even Elder Qi, a cultivator of the Primordial Chaos realm, dared not enter this place...

But it made her...

But she had no choice!

A tear flashed across her eye.

Then, turn around and walk deeper into the area!

The mountains rise and fall.

"This Immortal Realm is more magnificent than the Heavenly Realm."

Li Fan smiled.

The Northern Wasteland is filled with a wild and desolate atmosphere, offering a unique and beautiful landscape.

They continued walking in, and soon climbed to the top of a high peak.

As far as the eye can see, the mountains rise and fall, resembling a gathering of dragons in countless shapes.

Ziling and Nan Feng were both instantly shocked.

Looking out over the vast wilderness from here, it's as if you're gazing upon a terrifying world!

"The Great Wilderness of the Immortal Realm... it probably holds many secrets!"

Ziling murmured.

"I have a strange feeling that when I gaze upon the vast wilderness, I distinctly sense the passage of time..."

Nan Feng suddenly realized!

"With its unique scenery, this secluded place hides another world!"

Li Fan exclaimed in admiration!

Hearing Li Fan's praise, Ziling and Nan Feng both seemed to be deep in thought!

"So, this vast wilderness hides a unique paradise, which Master had already been aware of!"

Ziling's big eyes lit up instantly!

"No wonder, no wonder Master sent the descent of the Heavenly Realm to this desolate place. Indeed, every little thing he did had a profound meaning!"

Nan Feng felt increasingly sentimental!

"Give me paper! It has been a long time since I painted. Today I will try to paint the magnificent landscape of this immortal realm!"

Seeing the beautiful scenery, Li Fan was quite pleased.

Upon hearing this, Ziling was even happier, as she could once again watch her teacher paint!

She laid out the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Li Fan picked up his pen and looked out at the endless wilderness.

"What a desolate wasteland! Although the vegetation is lush, it retains its desolate and barren nature, resembling a battlefield..."

Li Fan's calligraphy flows like dragons and snakes!

In an instant, it seemed as if the entire world was changing!

Time and space are distorted, and years are rushing by. At this moment, both Ziling and Nan Feng feel it!

They seemed to see an earth-shattering battle taking place in time and space!

The earth cracked, the sky shattered, bones were buried in the wilderness, and all living beings wailed in despair...

Amidst the changing times, everything has been smoothed over by the years. Vegetation grows luxuriantly, trees flourish, and birds and beasts thrive... Everything from the past has been buried!

Li Fan draws quickly!

His paintings mostly depict this vast wilderness.

However, with one or two strokes, he made them decisively, revealing something different!

In his writing, somewhere in the vast wilderness, there are rows of white bones!

He put down his pen!

In an instant, the terrifying Great Dao of time and space and the River of Time and Space both calmed down!

Only a gentle breeze was blowing around us!

Ziling and Nan Feng, however, were both staring intently at the painting!

"Master, you used a painting to reveal to us a great battle from High Antiquity?"

Ziling murmured, her expression filled with disbelief!

"Just that one feeling... and my understanding of the Emperor's Formation Breaking Song has increased by one point..."

Nan Feng was even more surprised; the more intense the war scenes were, the more she was able to comprehend the Emperor's Formation Breaking Song.

Because that was originally a song of war and slaughter!

She was certain that this desolate wilderness before her had likely witnessed a terrifying war in some High Antiquity era!

"Teacher..."

Ziling looked at Li Fan.

Li Fan smiled and said:

"Painting is not just about the present, but also about the past and the future!"

Li Fan calmly recounted:

"What kind of past do the things we see in our daily lives, and what kind of future do they have? These are questions that an artist should ask!"

"Only in this way can a painting come alive. For a painting to have life, it must not only be given a present, but also a future."

He pointed to the painting and said:

"For example, this vast wilderness—who knows if it was once an ancient battlefield?"

He was instructing Ziling.

In Li Fan's opinion, who knows what the past of this wilderness might hold?

But drawing is art!

Since it looks like a battlefield, then draw it as a battlefield.

"I think I understand something..."

Ziling murmured.

At this moment, she entered Enlightenment Realm!

Feeling the passage of time, imagining the past and the future!

She had never considered giving her paintings a historical dimension before!

"This path... is close to sainthood!"

At that very moment, she instinctively picked up her pen!

She is depicting this land!

Moreover, it involves reflection, careful observation, transcending the present situation, examining its past, and speculating on its future!

A wondrous Dao Rhyme arose spontaneously around her.

Nan Feng was slightly startled; she realized that Ziling was comprehending the Dao.

That sense of battlefield, the passage of time, is told as if it were a gentle, narrative unfolding!

She instinctively began to play the zither!

At this moment, the Broken Formation Melody was inspiring Ziling to observe this land.

And her paintings are inspiring Nan Feng.

The two complement each other perfectly!

Li Fan smiled, picked up a small pot of wine, and began to drink leisurely by himself.

But he didn't know!

In the instant he put pen to paper, he sketched out one or two patches of white bones on the land in the painting.

Somewhere in the vast mountains, suddenly, layers of earth that had existed for millions of years collapsed.

Countless skeletons were exposed!

It was as if a mysterious entity had cleaved it in two with a single sword strike!

Overwhelming yin Yin Qi kept appearing!

In an instant, deep within this vast wilderness, countless ferocious beasts went berserk, terrified by this aura and fleeing at top speed!

Somewhere.

"Roar!"

As Su Baiqian was walking forward, she suddenly heard a terrifying roar coming from ahead!

She shuddered, sensing danger!

She quickly turned and ran away!

She ran for her life and finally saw Elder Qi, Su Bai Ru, and the others ahead.

"Help me!"

She shouted loudly!

At this moment, Elder Qi and the others also had a drastic change in expression!

"Oh no, the ferocious beast has gone berserk... This beast's aura is terrifying!"

"Run!"

Elder Qi hurriedly led Su Bai Ru and the others, and turned to run!

They completely ignored Su Baiqian.

The ferocious beast behind them was getting closer and closer.

Su Baiqian could only desperately try to escape.

She almost lost her way.

Suddenly, she saw three people walking leisurely at the foot of a mountain ahead!

One man and two women!

Even a moment's delay could cost her her chance to escape!

However, after a moment's hesitation, she still ran over and shouted:

"Run! Run! A beast tide has broken out in the mountains!"
