Chapter 594: True Dragon Perfect Match, Sword Pond Wins
The painting world of time!
As time and space flowed, the world around Li Hao changed its color, transforming into an infinitely colorful scene in a painting where time and space kept changing.
The clouds in the sky were rolling and changing, the waves in the lake beneath my feet were surging, and in this void, many figures seemed to be emerging from the south and the north, some flying by, some stopping here.
The wild flowers by the lake bloom and fall, wither and flourish, going through several cycles of ebb and flow!
Such a wonderful sight, compared with the thousand dragons circling in the painting by Long Yun Huaxian next to it, is extremely shocking. Although there are no dragon figures circling around it, the feeling of the passing of time and the cycle of time is better than the sight of thousands of dragons galloping.
Compared with it, the galloping of thousands of dragons seems too monotonous and dull.
The world is changing, who can beat the passage of time? !
"The origin of time, the years of time and space, such a strong painting skill, such a strong way of painting..."
In the crowd, a young girl with long black hair like a waterfall stood silently. She stared at the painting of time rippling around the young man, her face full of solemnity and a little shock.
The other party's painting skills are actually better than Long Yun Huaxian.
They are both in the realm of painting, but it is obvious that this young man is better!
She had been admiring the flowers in other pavilions before, not in the main building, and didn't know why the Fairy Long Yun Painting was competing with the young man, but after this comparison, it was obvious that the winner had been decided.
"He actually also mastered the realm of painting..."
"This is a realm that can only be mastered by those who have comprehended the true meaning of painting. He can even go into battle and kill the enemy at this level!"
"So strong! Su Muqing just said that he only has a hundred years of soul lifespan? You must be kidding. Who can reach this level of painting in a hundred years? Not to mention that he is at the Immortal Lord level..."
"Miss Su must have said something wrong, or seen it wrong. There must be a misunderstanding. I will never believe it."
"Who cares about the life span of the soul? This painting is so beautiful. There are endless changes at every moment. It seems that people can watch it forever!"
"Yes, it's absolutely amazing!"
"Don't you feel that there is a kind of sadness of the passing of time in his paintings? I seem to see the reincarnation of life and the destination of all things in the world. In addition to the origin of time and space, there are other origins of the Tao in it..."
On the lake, all the women were staring blankly at the painting of time around Li Hao. They were completely immersed in it, feeling the passage of time and their hearts surging.
"His painting world..."
Su Muqing stared at the scene in a daze, finding it hard to believe for a moment, but this scene was so real.
She was a little dazed. How could it be possible for the other party to have such superb and terrifying painting skills and to enter the world through painting?
She is a genius in cultivation and has a very high understanding of painting. She became famous in a battle a hundred years ago and has become well-known in the Gusu Imperial Star. She also has spare time to do things other than cultivation, such as getting in touch with painting.
She has been practicing painting for sixty years and studying ink for sixty years, but she has only barely reached the level of transcendence. She knows very well that although painting is a minor art, if one wants to comprehend a very high level, one needs to give it her all.
Beside her, Su Wanqing's eyes were lost in thought. For some reason, she felt an unconcealable sadness from the other person's painting, as if it was the sadness of losing something.
Is there some sorrow hidden in the young man's heart?
As she thought about it, she became more and more absent-minded.
The lake fell into silence in an instant. Lan Qin and Jiang Huanhuan were both shocked and immersed in it.
Opposite Li Hao, the originally indifferent face of the Painting Fairy Long Yun had changed color at this moment, and shock appeared in her eyes. The previous painting scroll of the Divine Tree of the Origin of Space was not the other party's masterpiece?
The painting realm, the other party also mastered the painting realm, and this painting realm contained the Nine Origins, dominated by time and space. The feeling of the passing of time was so strong that she couldn't help but fall into it. This was definitely a rare and precious painting, and the viewer could touch the depths of his or her own soul.
Long Yun Huaxian took a deep breath, unwilling to admit defeat, she said in a serious tone:
"Since we are both in the realm of painting, let's learn from each other."
As she spoke, her painting world suddenly expanded, extending towards and crushing Li Hao's painting world.
Thousands of dragons then galloped and roared, rushing out from the rendered ancient Cang Lake. The dragons flew together, shaking the heaven and the earth!
This scene shocked everyone on the lake awake. They felt their minds shaken and their blood rushing. The dragon's roar stimulated their blood to boil.
Such a magnificent painting scene is truly breathtaking, but as thousands of dragons galloped into Li Hao's painting, another extreme scene emerged.
The mighty group of dragons seemed to plunge into a frying pan. In an instant, their skin and scales fell off, flesh and blood splattered, their bodies kept shrinking, and their immortal power was pulled out like threads, gradually disintegrating and collapsing!
The painting of time, which contained infinite brilliance, slowly shook out a desolate and sad atmosphere, drowning the dragons.
Soon, the dragons collapsed one by one and disappeared in the painting of time, making that painting even more desolate.
"Everything in the world will perish..."
Li Hao looked at the shattered painting world of Long Yun Hua Xian, with a hint of deep pain in his calm eyes. The figure of the girl shattered under the feet of the Supreme Master floated through his mind:
"Your paintings will never be able to withstand the passage of time and will never be eternal!"
The body of the Painting Fairy Long Yun was shaking, her painting world was shattered, her painting heart was also hit and affected, her face flushed, and then she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Hearing the young man's words, she couldn't help but raise her head, and said with some reluctance:
"Eternity? That's easy to say. Unless I create a realm with the Dao of Painting, it can be called eternal. Do you mean to say that the Dao of Painting below the realm is not as good as yours?!"
Li Hao did not answer, but the indifferent expression in his heart, which was full of grief, had already responded to Long Yun Huaxian.
The Painting Fairy Long Yun had an unpleasant expression on her face, but the collapse of her painting realm, coupled with her own appreciation of painting, forced her to admit deep down in her heart that apart from the realm, there seemed to be no other painting realm that could surpass the young man in front of her.
This is already the ultimate and pinnacle in the realm of painting!
With her knowledge, she couldn't imagine a painting scene that was better than this.
"I lost."
Long Yun Huaxian was a little dejected and did not continue to show off. Since the winner was decided, she admitted defeat.
Hearing his words, Li Hao also retracted his painting state. When he was in this painting state of time, he couldn't help but think of the broken girl and felt sad in his heart.
Thinking of the disappearance, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at the figure in the crowd.
Fortunately, the other reincarnation of the other party is still there.
This time, he would not let his body be injured or broken.
Seeing Li Hao's gaze, Su Muqing, who was in a daze, came to her senses, her face suddenly changed, and she turned her head away.
Waves of emotion surged in her heart. The other party's paintings made her feel a sense of admiration and love in her heart, but the other party's rogue look of pestering her made her angry.
He clearly has such talent, but why is his heart so low that he only covets power and bloodline?
The figure of her childhood sweetheart emerged in her mind. The complicated feeling in her heart quickly disappeared. Compared with that radiant figure, all men in the world would pale in comparison.
No matter how good you are at painting, it is just a minor skill.
Although she loves painting, she understands deep down that cultivation is the orthodox way!
With Long Yun Huaxian's admission of defeat, the painting duel came to an end.
All the girls on the lake were shocked and talked about it a lot, but after seeing it with their own eyes, the difference was obvious and no one questioned the result. They were just shocked that besides the Painting Fairy Long Yun, there was actually someone with such superb painting skills in Gusu City.
For a time, many women from aristocratic families began to inquire about Li Hao's identity, hoping to invite him to their homes privately to teach them painting.
After whispering to each other, they found out that the other party seemed to be related to the Su family.
"I did say that before. What you said is that my paintings are indeed not worthy of being displayed in a refined setting."
The Painting Fairy Long Yun came in front of Li Hao, bent down slightly and apologized to Li Hao.
Seeing her attitude, Li Hao felt a little embarrassed and said, "I was just making a casual comment. Don't take it to heart. Everyone's early works are mediocre."
When the Painting Fairy Long Yun heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched. After all, his paintings were too mediocre.
However, she also knew that what Li Hao said was right. Those paintings were exhibited here only for those young ladies from aristocratic families who had just started to learn painting. The skills in them were enough for them to learn.
The two chatted for a few words and resolved their differences. The Painting Fairy Long Yun immediately invited Li Hao to the main building to appreciate paintings and exchange ideas. However, Li Hao's eyes swept to the girl in the crowd. He came here just to accompany her, not to really paint.
Although, painting is something he loves from the bottom of his heart, just like playing chess and fishing.
But he was able to restrain and hold back the shattered look back at his feet.
Fairy Long Yun Hua followed Li Hao's gaze and was a little surprised. She was older, about 20,000 years old, and was knowledgeable. She could see the deep tenderness and ultimate emotion in Li Hao's eyes at a glance.
She understood in her heart and said softly: "Then I will not bother you, sir. I am from the Murong family. This is my jade token. If you need it in the future, you can come to the Murong family and show this to me."
She handed Li Hao a jade token to establish a good relationship.
Li Hao did not refuse. He took it and thanked her. Then he said goodbye to her and came to Su Muqing.
Su Muqing heard the whispers around her and the communication between Long Yun Huaxian and Li Hao. Her expression kept changing. The more eye-catching the young man in front of her was, the more annoyed she felt for some reason.
"Don't think that I will look at you differently just because of this!"
With a cold face, she said something and went back to the main building.
Su Wanqing glanced at the jade pendant in Li Hao's hand. Apart from the Su family, the Jiang family and the Lin family are on par with each other in Gusu City.
Apart from these three major families, the Murong family is the most prominent family, and close to it are several other aristocratic families such as the Lan family.
"You are extremely gifted and talented. This shouldn't be the case."
Su Wanqing sighed softly.
Li Hao glanced at her and said nothing.
Before he could catch up with Su Muqing, a figure with black hair floated in front of him, accompanied by bursts of fragrance that was refreshing.
"What is your name, sir?"
A young girl with long black hair like a waterfall came in front of Li Hao as if stepping on the ripples in the lake, and her soft voice rang out.
"Lin Jinrou?"
When Su Wanqing saw the person coming, her eyes changed slightly. The other party was the cousin of the emperor's son who was engaged to Su Muqing. She was also the top prodigy of the Lin family and was as famous as her.
Li Hao turned to look at the newcomer, and after glancing at the other person's stunning face, he said, "Haotian."
"Master Haotian, I am Lin Jinrou from the Lin family. Can you please come to my home and teach me how to paint?"
Lin Jinrou spoke softly and bluntly, her eyes fixed on Li Hao.
Li Hao shook his head slightly, "Sorry, I'm busy."
After saying that, he left the other person and chased after Su Muqing.
Lin Jinrou was slightly stunned. This was the first time someone rejected her.
Even if she invited Long Yun Huaxian to come to the family to teach her privately, the other party would not refuse and offend the Lin family.
"Wanqing, do you know him?"
Lin Jinrou withdrew her gaze from Li Hao's back and looked at Su Wanqing beside her.
Su Wanqing didn't expect that the other party would be interested in Li Hao. Thinking of the painting realm that Li Hao had just revealed, it was understandable. She sighed lightly. In private, her relationship with Lin Jinrou was still okay, but this time it was about Su Muqing's innocence, so she said lightly:
"The other party is temporarily staying in my Su family, and may live there for a hundred years."
"Temporarily?"
Lin Jinrou's eyes moved slightly, and she asked, "What is his relationship with your Su family?"
Su Wanqing smiled bitterly and did not answer. If this news were to get out, I'm afraid the entire Gusu Imperial Star would be in an uproar.
In the main building.
Li Hao followed Su Muqing. The Painting Fairy Long Yun went to Li Hao to discuss painting. Su Muqing took the initiative to find the Painting Fairy Long Yun to ask for advice.
When the Painting Fairy Long Yun saw Li Hao standing aside, although she had no intention of talking to Su Muqing and wanted to take the opportunity to discuss things with Li Hao, the other party was the True Phoenix of the Su Family after all, so she did not dare to offend him and had to explain to him patiently.
Li Hao sat aside, just listening to their conversation silently, his eyes fixed on Su Muqing's face, his mind wandering.
This scene naturally attracted the attention of many young ladies from aristocratic families who were admiring paintings in the other main building, and they all began to discuss it in low voices.
Since Su Muqing became famous, she has had no shortage of suitors around her, but after she announced her relationship with the prince of the Lin family, all those suitors disappeared.
After all, no one dared to compete with the emperor's son for his fiancée.
A true phoenix and a true dragon are a perfect match in the world.
Unexpectedly, there is someone who is now setting his sights on Su Muqing and pursuing her.
As time passed, Su Muqing asked some questions about her painting. She finally couldn't stand the whispered discussions around her.
She snorted coldly, glared at Li Hao, then said goodbye to Long Yun Huaxian, stood up and flew back to the Su family.
Seeing this, Li Hao immediately followed.
As the two left, there was more discussion in the main building.
"Who is Mr. Haotian? How dare he be so bold as to openly pursue Su Muqing?"
"Look at his affectionate eyes, which are almost thread-like. It seems that he loves Su Muqing very much."
"Nonsense! If I were a man, I would also like Su Muqing, but unfortunately, she belongs to that Emperor's son, the True Dragon!"
"If the Lin family knew this news, I wonder if that Master Haotian would be in trouble. What a pity. His painting is so amazing, it's really amazing!"
"Miss Su said that his soul only has a hundred years of lifespan. Is this true? If it is true, there must be a top figure behind him, or even an emperor. In that case, he may not be afraid of the Lin family."
The girls were talking in low voices. They were all from wealthy families and were very intelligent. They could tell that Li Hao had an unusual background.
Su Wanqing felt helpless when she saw Su Muqing returning early without saying hello to her, but she also loved painting, so she stayed.
When Lin Jinrou learned that Li Hao had left and heard the whispers of the girls around her, a light flashed in her eyes. Was that young man actually planning to compete with Brother Zexuan for Su Muqing?
…
Gusu Imperial Star, Lin Family.
In a mansion of a large family that is as magnificent as that of the Su family.
In the inner courtyard of a deep house, on a training array made of Chaos Immortal Stone, a figure in a green shirt was sitting, with a handsome face and extraordinary elegance.
Around him, dragon energy swirled and red dragon shapes surrounded him. This was not a special magic technique, but the immortal power condensed in his body.
He practices the Lin family's top-level immortal technique, and the immortal power is condensed into the Candle Dragon immortal power in his body. With the same amount of immortal power, it is a hundred times stronger than that of ordinary Immortal Kings. He is invincible in the same realm, and can easily crush anyone who is four or five levels deep!
Other geniuses can condense immortal power into mist and then condense it into liquid. They are already the top geniuses of the big clans. However, this Zhulong immortal power is even better than liquid immortal power!
As the nine candle dragon powers surrounded and sank into his body, his aura grew even stronger.
When he opened his eyes, he saw someone waiting for him not far away in the yard.
"What is it?"
The two words "clear" were heard, echoing in the courtyard, like a gentle breeze, or like the light of a sword as bright as the moon, with a hint of majesty.
"Reporting to the young master, I just received a message about Miss Mu Qing."
"oh."
Hearing the word "Mu Qing", the young man's cold eyes showed a touch of tenderness, and asked: "What is it?"
"Ms. Mu Qing attended the Long Yun Art Exhibition. I heard that someone was pursuing Miss Mu Qing at the exhibition."
The man bowed his head and spoke respectfully, his aura revealed that he was at the perfect level of the Immortal King, but at this moment he was as respectful as a servant.
"Pursue?"
When the young man heard this, his expression returned to calmness and he said, "With Mu Qing's looks and status, she has many suitors. There's no need to talk about such a trivial matter."
After saying that, he stood up and headed for the Lin family's secret realm, where he would practice actual combat with the family elders.
…
Su Family, Huting Garden, Exiled Immortal Courtyard.
Two figures returned one after another. Su Muqing returned to the courtyard and went straight into her own hall without looking back or even looking at Li Hao.
Li Hao glanced at the tightly closed courtyard gate and could only turn around and sit on the carved chair next to him.
Aunt Wu didn't see Su Wanqing, so she stepped forward and asked cautiously:
"Master Haotian, where is Miss Wanqing?"
"have no idea."
Li Hao said casually that he really didn't pay attention.
Wu Ma retreated awkwardly.
The courtyard seemed to have returned to its previous normal state, with the palace door closed and a young man playing chess in the courtyard.
This Exiled Immortal Courtyard is Su Muqing's main courtyard. Although it is not a training formation in the palace, the immortal power in the courtyard is extremely strong. Li Hao feeds on the flesh and blood of ancient demons every day. With the natural penetration of the immortal power in the courtyard, he feels that the immortal power in his body is becoming deeper and deeper, like a hazy fog, becoming thicker and thicker.
Li Hao was not in a hurry to break through and practice. His mind was on chess, carving, cooking, etc., and he had no time to devote to practice.
After all, if these skills can be improved, the benefits will be greater and the cost-effectiveness will be higher.
Even so, he had reached the sixth level of the Origin Realm of the Form Dao, and his body had already absorbed the immortal power of heaven and earth on its own, condensing his immortal body and practicing on his own.
The body of the fairy was built bit by bit, and gradually took shape as time passed...
The body of a celestial being also made the immortal power in Li Hao's body accumulate and become thick, like a large mass of clouds, faintly exuding liquid-like immortal power.
When the immortal power is like water, that is the time when the immortal body is fully developed.
During these peaceful years, Su Wanqing came to the Exiled Immortal Temple several times to visit Su Muqing, and also to see if Li Hao was still holding on.
In addition, having seen Li Hao's painting skills before, she also wanted to learn painting from Li Hao. Although she felt sorry for Li Hao's wishful thinking, the teacher is the one who is more accomplished, which did not prevent her from humbly asking Li Hao for advice on painting.
And every time they talked about painting, Su Wanqing found that there was a gleam in the boy's eyes and he was in high spirits. It felt as if a young man with a sword in hand, tall and imposing, was telling stories of love and hatred in the martial arts world, riding a horse and singing unrestrainedly, emitting a special confidence and radiance.
Every time Su Wanqing came, Su Muqing would open the palace door, and either have a sisterly chat with her at the door, or stroll with her in the garden to enjoy the scenery. This was also a rare time for Li Hao to see her.
As for the cold and disgusted looks from the other party every time, he automatically ignored them.
"It is hard to imagine that the art of painting has so many details and contains so many essences of the great way."
Across the chess table, Su Wanqing rested her chin on her hands, listening to Li Hao tirelessly telling her about painting, her eyes shining.
Under the sunlight, the young man's face was against the light, and his whole body was radiant, no less than those geniuses from the big families she had seen in the competitions.
“If all the ways in the world can be taken to their extreme, they can accommodate everything.”
Li Hao said softly.
This was another feeling he had after he realized the true meaning of painting.
Why can't Kendo include all things in the world, wind, fire, thunder and lightning, time and space, gold and wood!
A drop of water can reflect the world; a blade of grass can penetrate the sun and the moon!
Hearing Li Hao's words, Su Wanqing was slightly startled, and suddenly there was a sense of sudden enlightenment in her mind, as if she had touched upon something, but it was difficult to grasp for a moment.
She knew that her own realm was too low, so she was unable to grasp the sudden flash of enlightenment that passed by in that instant.
"You really like playing chess?"
Su Wanqing turned her gaze away from the young man's face and fell on the chessboard, but she did not understand chess. In her opinion, it was something that only old scholars liked, and she had no interest in it.
Li Hao nodded.
"You have so many hobbies. Father said that you only have a hundred years of soul life. Is that true?"
Su Wanqing couldn't help but ask curiously. Although she knew that her father would not lie and there was no need to lie, it was still hard for her to imagine that he could reach such a realm in just a hundred years, and also such a high level of painting realm.
Li Hao smiled and nodded slightly.
Su Wanqing sighed and said to Li Hao: "It's a pity for you to be so talented. From what I know about my sister, she will not change her mind. Besides... painting is a minor art after all. No one can match the Lin family's prince."
She looked at Li Hao and did not feel disgusted with the young man. After asking for advice several times, she felt that he was indeed a peerless genius, not inferior to those evildoers from the big families she had seen. It was a pity that his opponent was the real dragon of the Lin family.
All the men in the world pale in comparison to her!
Li Hao was silent for a moment. A hundred years of companionship was indeed too short. Perhaps if he could break through to the Immortal King realm within a hundred years, he might be able to discuss with the head of the Su family again. Otherwise, he would not even be qualified to discuss.
A hundred years... Li Hao silently picked up a black piece and rushed into the heart of the white chess.
The key to victory or defeat is often just one move, the most crucial one!
The rest are all layouts, all pretexts to conceal the enemy.
Seeing that it was getting late, Su Wanqing stood up, said goodbye to Li Hao, and went to the main hall to say goodbye to Su Muqing.
Su Muqing would occasionally observe the situation in the courtyard, especially when Su Wanqing arrived. She saw her sister coming and frowned:
"You'd better not get too close to this kind of person. With such a mentality, you are doomed to not go far on the road to the supreme!"
Su Wanqing nodded slightly. She also understood this point. That road was extremely difficult. Countless geniuses had failed on this road since ancient times. In addition to talent, bloodline, cultivation resources, opportunities, understanding and other things, one also needed an invincible heart of Tao!
It is essential that the Tao mind is not confused or influenced by any external things.
"Sister, you should practice hard. When you win the first prize in the sword pool, we will wait for you to show your talents."
Su Wanqing smiled and didn't talk to her about Li Hao. She knew that Su Muqing was full of disgust towards Li Hao, but for some reason, after chatting with the young man for a long time, her impression of him had already changed quietly. However, when she thought of some of his behaviors, she couldn't help but sigh with regret.
"Yeah, you too, let's win together then!"
Su Muqing couldn't help but smile when she thought about winning the Sword Pond several years later.
Time passes.
A year later, Li Hao's immortal body finally reached perfection.
Within his body, the immortal power condensed like dew, falling from the thick immortal clouds, turning into nectar and blending into his immortal body. His body was suddenly filled with a strong and powerful immortal power.
If the immortal power previously roaming around the body was just an air bag, then now it has begun to transform into a water bag. Although they are both at the first level of the Immortal King realm, the immortal power of one finger can suppress other ordinary Immortal Kings at the first level.
He has the Star Veins of the Heavens, plus the sixth level of absorption and transformation of the Origin of the Form Dao. Although he has not practiced deliberately and the Star Veins of the Heavens are not outwardly manifest, the speed at which he absorbs the immortal power of heaven and earth is far superior to that of ordinary people, and is comparable to the full-scale practice of some geniuses from major families.
Although Li Hao had some experience in achieving the perfection of his immortal body, he did not feel too happy. The road was still very long and he was only taking steps forward at the starting point. After all, what he would face in the future was not the geniuses of these great clans, but the Southern Territory Supreme who was his mortal enemy!
Time flies.
After three years, five years, the immortal dew in Li Hao's body accumulated more and more, from entering the great success stage to being completely enriched, condensing into the perfection of the celestial immortal!
