Two Supremes came to visit!
Fire Spirit, Yu Qishui, and the others were all shocked.
They immediately went out together to greet the visitors.
They saw an elder clad in a long robe with an aura as imposing as mountains, whose presence was deep and powerful. He spoke, "Hong Xuan, representing Taiyan Holy Land, congratulates the Fire Country on the new emperor's ascension."
Supreme Hong Xuan was not arrogant and gave a cupped-fist salute.
The other person was a Taoist holding a horsetail whisk, wearing a Taiji Dao Robe, with an appearance of celestial elegance. He too smiled and said, "The Empress indeed presents a fine figure."
He was none other than Supreme Luo Ming.
"You flatter us, Supremes."
Fire Spirit gestured with her hand.
The group walked into the great hall.
"Fire Emperor, we won't beat around the bush. The reason we have come here is that we wish to meet that senior!"
Just as they entered the great hall, Luo Ming already started speaking, "Our two Holy Lands have discovered that the Evil God's emissary descended in the Southern Territory of Fire Country a few days ago."
"The Evil God failed in becoming a Supreme through his Dao and was trapped by his inner demons, turning evil. Although he failed to become a Supreme, he could still be called an evil Immortal. I'm afraid that within the Xuantian Realm, only that senior is capable of handling him."
At these words, Fire Spirit's brow furrowed slightly.
"Moreover, the reason the Evil God appeared this time is most likely because there is something in the depths of the Cangli Mountain Range that is attracting it."
"That thing is also the reason Supreme Monarch Lihuo transformed into a Demon Venerable!"
The two did not hide anything.
"If we're not mistaken, Lihuo Demon Venerable is merely the weakest under that thing's manipulation."
Luo Ming expressed his worries, "If the other beings within the Cangli Mountain Range also undergo demonic transformation and revive, it would spell disaster not just for the entire Southern Territory, but for the whole Xuantian Realm as well. Therefore, our two Holy Lands wish to join forces with that senior."
"Both the Evil God and whatever lies deep within the Cangli Mountain Range are not entities that can be easily dealt with."
Fire Spirit and Yu Qishui and the rest were lost in thought.
"I originally thought that Senior Li's goal was the Evil God, but now it seems the world in Senior Li's eyes is beyond our imagination!"
Yu Qishui spoke gravely.
A power that could transform a Supreme into a demon, a thing coveted by the Evil God...
Senior Li's chess game is on such a grand and vast scale.
We are but ants who can only see a fraction of the whole picture!
Their expressions were complex.
"I believe that all of this is within Senior Li's control, but we should also make a visit, now that Fire Country has been secured, it is time to pay our respects."
Yu Qishui looked at Fire Spirit.
Fire Spirit also nodded in agreement; today's success was all thanks to Senior Li, and even if Senior Li did not care for formalities, it was proper to pay a visit!
"In that case, we shall take the two of you to meet Senior Li, but whether he wishes to see us will entirely depend on fate…"
Outside the Cangli Mountain Range, a Yu Kong Flying Ship arrived.
"It is indeed the place where the ancestor proved his Dao, at first glance, it appears like a dormant dragon concealing countless secrets!"
Onboard the Yu Kong Flying Ship, there were actually two females.
One of the girls was only about fifteen or sixteen, with bright, affectionate eyes and full of spirituality.
She carried a square backpack, which contained her painting board.
"Sister, I heard that a Demon Venerable appeared here not long ago; can we really retrieve what the ancestor left behind?"
The girl asked with some concern.
The older girl, about twenty years old, with a graceful figure and stunning beauty, possessed an ethereal quality. She carried a Jiaowei Qin on her back and smiled lightly, "Zi Ling, you are the most talented person in our Three Absolutes Holy Land. If anyone in this world is to obtain what the ancestor left behind, it would certainly be you."
The Yu Kong Flying Ship continued forward, and today they planned to take a look around the perimeter.
"It is said the Demon Venerable that appeared here was suppressed to death by a painting from an existence surpassing Supremes. I can't imagine what kind of painting would have such power!"
Zi Ling's beautiful and youthful face filled with longing as she said, "Sister Nan Feng, what kind of person could create such a painting?"
Nan Feng laughed and said, "Don't envy others. Our Three Absolutes Holy Land upholds the Art of Painting as a pillar, and even if the one who suppressed the Demon Venerable is an Immortal, we in Three Absolutes Holy Land are no weaker than him."
"You should first perfect your painting skills to the level of 'Mysterious Perfection' before anything else,"
Zi Ling pouted and said, "Oh!"
Then, she stuck out her tongue and murmured, "If only I could encounter an Immortal who is skilled in transformational painting, watching an Immortal paint would be much better than observing those old works inside the Holy Lands..."
The airship continued forward.
At that moment, Nan Feng suddenly sensed something, saying, "What power lies ahead? The airship dares not approach it!"
She walked to the front of the airship, peering into the distance.
Their vessel, a Spirit-class Airship from the Three Absolutes Holy Land, was crafted from bones of various powerful beasts and already possessed a hint of a primitive spirit!
To seek good fortune and avoid disaster!
Instantly, Nan Feng communicated with the spirit of the airship, only to receive a broken message: "Great terror... cannot approach... "
The spirit hadn't fully developed yet and could only convey so much.
"If even a Spirit-class Airship dares not move forward, that means there must be an extraordinary entity ahead!"
Nan Feng's pretty face grew serious as she said, "We've only reached the outer periphery of Cangli Mountain Range... This place is indeed the same fatal ground where our ancestors once risked their lives nine times over to cross!"
She prepared to leave.
"No, that's not right!"
At this time, Zi Ling was observing the front, her beautiful face showing a hint of excitement as she said, "It's not danger!"
"It's the Sacred Brush Dao Rhyme... There's Sacred Brush Dao Rhyme ahead, shooting straight into the skies... How terrifying!"
She spoke with animation, "Sister Nan Feng, I want to go ahead and have a look, there's an unparalleled master painting there!"
Upon hearing this, Nan Feng's beautiful face was suddenly struck with surprise.
A master painting? Brushwork Dao Rhyme piercing the heavens?
How is that possible!
How could Dao Rhyme that's powerful enough to affect the Spirit-class Airship from such a distance exist?
Unless the founder of the Three Absolutes was resurrected, how could this be achieved?
"Sister, let's go quickly, let's go!"
Zi Ling tugged at Nan Feng's hand.
With Zi Ling's innate talent for the Art of Painting, which was hard to come by in the Xuantian Realm, and her unrivaled sensitivity to the Art of Painting within the Sect Gate,
if she said that there was an unparalleled master at work ahead, there was likely some credibility to it.
But going there rashly was too dangerous.
Even if it truly was an unparalleled master, who knew what kind of being they were dealing with? Good or evil?
"Forget it, we came to Cangli Mountain Range prepared to face dangers. Adding this risk won't make much of a difference!"
"Spirit of the airship, fly low, and do not be disrespectful to the presence ahead!"
Their altitude immediately dropped!
Soon, they finally approached.
As they got closer, without needing a reminder from the spirit of the airship, both Nan Feng and Zi Ling felt the overwhelming force of the Dao!
It was a mountain peak that seemed so ordinary at first glance but was now enveloped in boundless Dao Rhyme.
In reality, the Dao Rhyme was gentle, without any intent of aggression or threat, but they were simply too weak.
In the face of a Divine Dragon, even if they knew the dragon paid them no heed, ants would still tremble in fear!
"Zi Ling, are you sure you want to go?"
Nan Feng was extremely nervous; they were now very close to that existence.
But in Zi Ling's large eyes shone a radiant light, as she nodded repeatedly and said,
"Yes! Sister, just by getting closer, the Art of Painting secret techniques within me have started operating automatically. This is the call of the Dao. If I can just have one look, just one glance, I would have no regrets even in death!"
Her passion for the Art of Painting was too profound!
Hearing this, Nan Feng also gritted her teeth and said, "Alright, then let's go have a look!"
Finally, they slowly ascended the mountain peak and stepped onto the summit.
The scene that greeted them instantly captivated the sister's eyes, causing them to lose themselves for a moment!
