Chapter 234 - 233: Abstract Painter Jiang Li



[Task Announcement: The once-in-a-century Cloudwater Secret Area is about to open. Only Gold Core Period cultivators can enter. Numerous geniuses are as common as crucian carp crossing the river. There are “Realm Breaking Grass” in the secret area that can help you awaken the Heavenly Spiritual Root earlier. You are to obtain the “Realm Breaking Grass” in the secret area.]

[This task cannot be abandoned]

[Task Rewards: A barrel of medicinal bath for assisting the awakening of

Heavenly Spiritual Root, one Heart-controlling Gu, one set of “Yin-Yang

Harmony Cultivation Method”]

“Realm Breaking Grass?”

Jiang Li was somewhat surprised. Realm Breaking Grass only worked for cultivators of the Nascent Soul Stage and below. It could break through a minor realm without any side effects, but it could only be taken once. He never thought that Realm Breaking Grass could also have the effect of awakening the Heavenly Spiritual Root.

The Heavenly Spiritual Root was self-luminous, disguised on the outside as the Five Spiritual Roots. Only when it advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage in its form of the Five Spiritual Roots could the original appearance of the Heavenly Spiritual Root be revealed. Then cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds, unmatched in the same realm.

But it was extremely difficult for the Five Spiritual Roots to achieve the Nascent Soul Stage. Both will and luck were indispensable.

Every cultivator in history who knew they had the Heavenly Spiritual Root achieved great success. The most famous among them was the 72nd Human Emperor, Jiang Li.

“If I could utilize the potential of the Heavenly Spiritual Root during the Gold Core Period, I would have a terrifyingly solid foundation. It would then be an easy task to achieve the Nascent Soul Stage in the future, and my combat prowess would definitely surpass that of those just entering the Nascent Soul

Stage!”

Jiang Li believed that this system task would be of great help to him!

“Since I found out that I have the Heavenly Spiritual Root during the Foundation Establishment Stage, it is all good.”

Jiang Li was pushed into a corner when he was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, which led him to burn his Spiritual Root and survived the catastrophe. By forcefully awakening the Heavenly Spiritual Root, he provided a great help to his early cultivation.

Jiang Li bought a weed-like thing from the system store, which was very unimpressive. It was the Realm Breaking Grass.

The system did not give any hint.

“Damn, it seems I can only get it in the Secret Realm.”

Jiang Li was very familiar with the Cloudwater Secret Area as he had been there with Yu Yin before.

The Cloudwater Secret Area was left by an Immortal realm painter adept in the

Way of Painting across the nine zones. The painter left no lineage in the Nine Zones, and this Secret Area was seen by people as the inheritance of this Immortal.

Jiang Li had passed through the Secret Area and ultimately obtained the painter’s inheritance.

As a result, the residual consciousness left by the painter decided to examine Jiang Li’s painting level.

The painter’s residual consciousness looked at Jiang Li’s painting from left to right, but couldn’t figure out what Jiang Li was drawing.

.1s this a drawing of an elephant or a wild boar?” the painter’s residual consciousness asked uncertainly.

“I drew Yu Yin,” Jiang Li answered honestly. Yu Yin, who was standing next to him, was about to blow up.

Yu Yin and Jiang Li tied for first place. Jiang Li did not pass while Yu Yin did.

With Jiang Li paving the way ahead, the painter’s residual consciousness was extremely satisfied with Yu Yin.

However, Jiang Li had not seen Yu Yin use the Way of Painting for hundreds of years, and he didn’t know if she had abandoned it or was still quietly cultivating it.

“The task rewards are interesting.” Jiang Li looked at the two later rewards, a Heart-controlling Gu, and a Harmony Cultivation Method.

Referring to his previous task which was to go to the Gu Immortal Secret Realm to find a Dao companion for himself, it was self-explanatory as to how to use the Harmony Cultivation Method.

An addition to the Heart-controlling Gu, every time Jiang Li saw this thing, he always ended up thinking of something unhealthy.

Jiang Li believed that the way he thought of using the Heart-controlling Gu and the way the system thought it should be used were definitely not the same. “Probably, my thoughts are problematic, I self-reflect.”

Through reflection, Jiang Li came to the conclusion that he was influenced by Ma Zhuo and his wife.

“Let’s just dismiss them.”

As described in the task, the opening of the Cloudwater Secret Area was a major event. It would become a gathering place for geniuses. Given that the spatial passages were now connected, there would be more genius cultivators than usual.

For instance, Jiang Li saw the genius cultivator Li Er, who was formerly from the Body-incorporating Sect.

“This little fox is quite interesting. Are you from the Beast Controlling Sect?” Li Er was enthusiastically looking at a little fox on the shoulder of a Gold Core cultivator.

The little white fox arched its body, baring its fangs and grimacing in an attempt to scare Li Er away.

“I am Qin Luan, a true disciple from the Wind Stabilizing View of the Great Zhou dynasty.”

“Well, you’re pretty lucky. Even the Beast Taming Sect doesn’t possess such a good spirit beast.” Li Er laughed, as a nine-tailed celestial fox that has cultivated to the Body Integration Realm is something the Beast Taming Sect couldn’t afford.

“Where are you from, Brother Li?”

“What are you doing here?” Jiang Li patted Li Er on the shoulder.

Li Er was startled. Anyone who could silently evade the divine sense of a Transcendance Tribulation Stage practitioner must be a ghost.

Turns out, it was just Jiang Li.

Jiang Li’s disguising skills weren’t extraordinary; they could be seen through by anyone from Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

“Did you take a liking to the divine sense of the Painting Immortal? Don’t forget you’re married.” Jiang Li looked at Li Er with a strange expression.

The Painting Immortal’s divine sense had the appearance of an extremely beautiful woman from the Jiangnan water towns, characterized by a tender and affectionate demeanor. Many cultivators who had seen her were infatuated and longed to visit the Cloudwater Secret Area again.

Unfortunately, the Cloudwater Secret Area only allows Golden Core Stage cultivators to access. A hundred years ago, the cultivators who entered either died of old age or had advanced beyond the Golden Core Stage.

Beyond this reason, Jiang Li couldn’t fathom why else Li Er came here.

After all, which high-rank cultivator would want to foot around in such a place?

“What are you talking about? I am devoted to Cheng’er!” Li Er retorted indignantly before gloomily admitting, “Our wedding anniversary is approaching and I realized that I’ve shattered the token of love Cheng’er gave me.”

“What token of love?” “A Ten Thousand Year Crystal Colored Glaze Coral Tree.”

…Isn’t that extinct?”

“Exactly. The one Cheng’er had was the last piece, and now it’s completely gone. So I thought I would use painting to create a counterfeit one and bluff it out. But after considering it, there’s no one in our Nine Provinces who is skilled enough in painting to trick Cheng’er, so I might as well ask the Painting Immortal to help me create one.”

Li Er’s wife, Cheng’er, who is also the sister of the Western Sea Dragon King, is a real dragon at the Body Integration Stage. There are indeed Body Integration Stage cultivators skilled in painting in the Nine Provinces, but Li Er is not confident enough to use their creations to trick his wife.

Li Er regretted not learning the Dao Method “Wind Return Fire”, otherwise, this wouldn’t have happened.

“You could try asking Yu Yin, she should be skilled in painting.” Jiang Li suggested.

Li Er didn’t think this was a good idea: “Do you think she would help me hide this, or directly tell Cheng’er?”

“Wanna take a bet?”

“Buzz off.”

“So, what are you doing here?”

“Looking for a breakthrough grass.”

Li Er looked at Jiang Li with a strange expression. He must be desperate to level up. This thing is only useful for those below Nascent Soul Stage. Do you, who are already at the Mahayana Stage, still want to use it?

If breakthrough grass could help a Mahayana cultivator level up, Li Er swore he’d eat it every day like a meal.

“Human Emperor.” Yuan Wuxing was the first to recognize Jiang Li. It was his intuition.

“Nascent Soul later stage, not bad.” Yuan Wuxing’s cultivation had rapidly improved, not only because of his talent, but also because of his adventurous travels throughout the Nine Provinces.

Qin Luan’s team was becoming more formidable, comprising Yuan Wuxing and his disciples, Song Ying, little white fox, and Aguna.

“Mr. Jiang.” Thanks to Yuan Wuxing’s reminder, Qin Luan and the rest realized that this ordinary-looking person was the disguised Jiang Li, the Human Emperor.

The little fox stared with wide eyes.

Even when she was the monarch of the Qingqiu Nation, she hadn’t encountered the Human Emperor this frequently.

“Are you also interested in painting?” Jiang Li asked Qin Luan.

Yuan Wuxing interjected, “He doesn’t know a damn thing about painting! As a kid, the only thing he used to draw was a map on his blanket.”

Qin Luan retorted, “At least I can draw a perfect circle by hand!”

Yuan Wuxing scorned, “So can I, I can also beg for alms by hand..”
