Calligraphy and Painting Containing the Essence of the Great Dao

Holy Mother Gui Ling stuck out her tongue at Hong Ze. "Gui Ling remembers. I'll knock next time."

Looking at the silly and adorable Holy Mother Gui Ling, Hong Ze couldn't bring himself to blame her.

He just glared at her fiercely and said, "What are you doing running over here again today?"

"Senior Brother, just now the rosy clouds shot straight up to the constellations. Did Senior Brother forge some top-grade spiritual treasure?"

Among Master Tongtian's direct disciples, only Holy Mother Gui Ling had a very good relationship with Hong Ze.

She would often run over to Hong Ze's place for no reason, and when she left, she would always take one or two small trinkets from Hong Ze.

Hong Ze never quite understood why those things, which were clearly useless to Holy Mother Gui Ling, made her so happy.

Although Hong Ze had a good relationship with Holy Mother Gui Ling, he couldn't let her know that he had already attained the Great Dao of Nine Saints.

He immediately picked up the brush on the table and wrote the character for "sword" on the paper.

"I was just writing when suddenly the rosy clouds filled the sky. I was about to ask you if you were the one who caused it."

Holy Mother Gui Ling didn't answer Hong Ze but instead focused her gaze directly on the character for "sword" that Hong Ze had written.

At this moment, in Holy Mother Gui Ling's eyes, that character for "sword" seemed to come alive, as if it had a life of its own.

Every stroke and every line contained infinite Sword Intent, and even a hint of the essence of the Great Dao within it.

"Senior Brother, Gui Ling really likes the picture you drew. Can you give it to Gui Ling?"

"How many times have I told you? This is called a character. It's text used to record information, not a picture."

Hong Ze drew a precious sword on the same piece of paper, then pointed to the drawn sword and said,

"This is called a picture. You can't even distinguish between characters and pictures. I'm truly impressed."

This time, Holy Mother Gui Ling didn't argue with Hong Ze as she usually did. Instead, she nodded obediently.

"Okay, Gui Ling remembers."

"How about Senior Brother gives this paper to Gui Ling? Gui Ling can take it back and study properly what is a character and what is a picture, so I don't make Senior Brother unhappy again next time."

Hong Ze couldn't help but be stunned. He thought to himself, Why did this girl suddenly change today? She's actually taking what I say seriously?

Just as Hong Ze was about to praise Holy Mother Gui Ling, she had already grabbed the paper with both the picture and the character. She then turned around and ran towards the outside of the thatched cottage.

As she ran, she shouted back at Hong Ze, "Senior Brother, you go ahead and be busy. Gui Ling will come to see you when I have time."

Looking at Holy Mother Gui Ling's retreating figure, Hong Ze shook his head helplessly again.

At this time, the Human Race had not yet produced the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, so it was naturally impossible for written characters to appear.

The most prevalent script in the Primordial World was the Demon Script used by cultivators, which was created by Kunpeng, the Teacher of the Demon Race.

It was mostly carved onto tortoise shells with a carving knife, and there were no brushes, ink, paper, or inkstones.

But who was Hong Ze? He was a transmigrator with modern thoughts, so he naturally wouldn't use those clumsy things.

Therefore, brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones were naturally created by Hong Ze. After all, this was not a difficult task for a Heavenly Immortal.

Holding the calligraphy written by Hong Ze, Holy Mother Gui Ling hurried back to her Cave Dwelling.

Without a word, she opened the calligraphy and with a wave of her hand, hung it in mid-air.

Then, Holy Mother Gui Ling sat before the calligraphy and began to comprehend the Sword Intent and the essence of the Great Dao contained within it.

Slowly, Holy Mother Gui Ling actually floated into the air, and countless phantoms separated from her body.

Each phantom held a precious Sword, and the Sword moves they used were all different.

Then these phantoms connected in a line in mid-air and slowly overlapped, forming a scene of a beautiful woman practicing Sword.

Five hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

In these five hundred years, no one had seen the usually lively and active Holy Mother Gui Ling.

Even Holy Mother Jin Ling, who was usually bothered by her, felt a little uncomfortable.

One day, Wu Dang Mother came to visit Holy Mother Jin Ling. While chatting, they talked about Holy Mother Gui Ling.

"Senior Sister Jin Ling, Junior Sister Gui Ling has been unusually quiet for the past five hundred years. This is not like her character, is it?"

"Yes, she usually comes here to cause trouble every few days. It's been five hundred years since I last saw her, and I still feel a little unaccustomed to it."

Just as Wu Dang Mother and Holy Mother Jin Ling were chatting, a Sword light shot up from Holy Mother Gui Ling's Cave Dwelling, causing Golden Turtle Island to tremble.

Immediately, Holy Mother Gui Ling appeared directly in mid-air.

Holy Mother Gui Ling's phantom pointed her Sword at the sky, her face filled with a majestic expression that made people feel a sense of submission.

As the long Sword in her hand slashed out, a Sword Intent surged, forming the character "Sword" in mid-air.

Then the character "Sword" slowly descended and directly merged with Holy Mother Gui Ling.

Looking at Holy Mother Gui Ling now, three flowers were blooming on her head, and five energies were facing the sun within her abdomen.

She had clearly broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and attained the eternal and indestructible Grand Luo Dao Fruit.

This not only made Holy Mother Jin Ling unable to believe it, but even Wu Dang Mother beside her couldn't believe any of it.

Among the five direct disciples under Master Tongtian, except for the eldest disciple Hong Ze, the other four had already reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

However, Holy Mother Gui Ling had the weakest cultivation, only being in the middle stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

The highest was Duobao Daoren, who had reached the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm and could attain the Grand Luo Dao Fruit with just a trace of energy.

But now, it was Holy Mother Gui Ling, the one with the lowest strength, who had taken the lead in becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

She had become the first among the many disciples of the Jie Sect. How could this not shock her two senior sisters?

Holy Mother Gui Ling's high-profile breakthrough naturally also alarmed Duobao Daoren and the other immortals on Golden Turtle Island.

Before long, a group of Jie Sect disciples came to Holy Mother Gui Ling's Cave Dwelling.

Upon learning that Holy Mother Gui Ling had attained the Grand Luo Dao Fruit, the expressions on the faces of the Jie Sect disciples were all different.

There were those who were envious, those who were jealous, those who were unconvinced, and those who couldn't quite believe it...

In short, no one could have imagined that the first Great Luo Golden Immortal of the Jie Sect would not be Duobao Daoren.

For a time, whispers were incessant.

"How is that possible? Senior Brother Duobao was actually surpassed by Senior Sister Gui Ling..."

"So it turns out the strongest in our Jie Sect is Senior Sister Gui Ling, not Senior Brother Duobao..."

"This time, Senior Brother Duobao has lost face..."

"Are you trying to die? How dare you discuss Senior Brother Duobao behind his back..."

Some even went so far as to look towards Duobao Daoren, their eyes filled with questions.

This made Duobao Daoren's expression extremely unsightly. He bowed to Holy Mother Gui Ling and said,

"Congratulations, Junior Sister Gui Ling, on attaining the Grand Luo Dao Fruit." After speaking, he turned and returned directly to his Cave Dwelling.

Seeing Duobao Daoren leave, the disciples of the Jie Sect also offered their congratulations to Holy Mother Gui Ling one after another, then turned and returned to their own Cave Dwellings to cultivate.

Finally, only Holy Mother Jin Ling and Wu Dang Mother remained in Holy Mother Gui Ling's Cave Dwelling.

At this moment, Holy Mother Gui Ling's face returned to its usual silly and adorable appearance.
