Chapter 764 - 519: Xi!_2
Whether it was the mountains and pavilions that were there before or the newly painted mountains and rivers, they were all clearly visible on this ink painting, hanging on the wall for everyone to see.
That vast world, at this moment, appeared no more than a painting on the wall.
And Xi led him out from the scroll.
Such paintings... were everywhere in this place.
Lin Guang glanced around, slightly surprised.
——The entire studio was unbelievably messy, filled with an air of casualness.
Some scrolls were rolled up and used as doorstops, some were spread out, piled haphazardly on a nearby soft couch, but most were not even opened, simply stacked in a corner.
Yet none of them were failures, or rather, failures didn’t even have the right to be placed here.
Even with just a fleeting glance, the four Spirit Patterns corresponding in Lin Guang’s Sea of Spirit kept flickering, seemingly able to sense the immense spirituality and power contained in these paintings.
——Could it be that all the spiritual artifacts here contain the mysteries of the art of painting?
It’s fair to say that any one of them, if taken outside, would be enough to fascinate True Masters and Miracle Masters specialized in this art, with so many piled together it could drive anyone insane.
If sold, how many Daxia Coins and Credit Points would they be worth? How many could it buy?
It was literally a dragon’s nest!
Yet in this moment, Lin Guang suddenly noticed another scroll hanging on the wall on the other side.
It was the painting he had created earlier.
There were only seven or eight paintings qualified to hang on the wall, yet this one, clearly unremarkable, was one of them.
"......"
Lin Guang couldn’t help but slightly open his mouth.
——Why?
"Come to the drawing table."
Yet at this moment, Xi’s calm and lazy voice pulled Lin Guang’s thoughts back.
He obediently walked to the large drawing table made of an unknown spirit wood.
She said blandly, "Since you have already apprenticed, then you must fulfill the duties of a disciple."
Xi stretched out her slender and long, exotically colored right hand, pointing to something on the table—a small piece of "jade" in addition to an ancient inkstone.
"Help me grind the ink, be careful."
Grind the ink?
That item looked a lot like jade, palm-sized, somewhat irregular, as if chipped from somewhere, clearly as warm as jade, yet its color was hard to discern, like refractions showed different colors from various angles.
Lin Guang stared at it, inexplicably feeling an indescribable weight.
What on earth is this thing?
Spiritual material?
Lin Guang subconsciously reached out his hand, grasping the bone-like object.
And then...
His pupils suddenly contracted.
At the moment his spiritual power touched the bone through his fingertips, a thunderous buzz rang in his ears, even as white light seemed to explode before his eyes, something surged directly into his heart, seizing all his senses.
It wasn’t merely a simple sound, but countless tremors in the void emitting deep hums, causing his Sea of Spirit, along with every bone in his body, to tingle.
Each was only a strange noise, a cacophony.
But as the numbers grew and overlapped...
One strain.
Ten strains.
A hundred strains!
Those harmonies merged to finally form a complete sound.
"Roar!!!"
A heaven-shaking dragon’s roar!!
......
Xi watched Lin Guang dumbfounded before the drawing table.
She exhibited no mocking or gloating expression, but rather gazed earnestly with her scarlet vertical pupils at his reaction.
The youth’s pupils suddenly gleamed with a golden radiance, accompanied by a change in their shape, elongating, until eventually resembling vertical pupils.
It was the form of dragon eyes.
Golden Eye.
And accompanying it was an aura of utmost majesty emanating from him.
Dragon Might.
As if something wished to return to the world through Lin Guang’s body, his entire presence, from demeanor to gaze, began to change drastically, even the corners of his eyes seemed to sprout dragon scale-like patterns, and his nails began growing, shifting toward a claw-like form.
Even Xi’s eyes showed a hint of tension.
She raised her hand slightly, even prepared to intervene.
Yet in that very instant.
Thump thump.
Thump thump.
Thump thump.
The deep and fierce heartbeat abruptly emanated from his chest.
In the next moment, a dim golden brilliance shimmered in his eyes.
Like something indefatigable within being roused and starting to fight back against an outsider’s provocation, a white rhomboidal mark even flashed across his eye bottom, a galaxy-like color accompanied by ten rings’ phantom overlaying his hands.
A black crown composed of black rhomboids emerged on his forehead.
Even the Angry Iron Plate in his Sea of Spirit let out a silent roar.
In an instant, all changes were immediately suppressed and reversed, dark golden crystalline fragments began covering the jade, forcibly repressing the dragon roar and corrosion back into the jade, making its power futilely retract.
Thus, the youth’s eyes returned.
"..."
Lin Guang raised his hand, meticulously observing the jade in his hand.
To be honest.
If not for the presence of condensing True Intent, an ordinary Five-star Spirit Master would lose their sanity just by holding this thing.
Even he had lost focus for a moment.
Absolutely dangerous, yet absolutely precious.
[Name]: Bone of Time
No additional information, not even its tier was visible, but those two words were enough.
This also confirmed that the jade in his hand... was at least a Tier Seven spiritual material, perhaps even a Divine Object.
Next moment, he extended his hand, grinding the piece on the inkstone extremely slowly.
As he rubbed, more intense harmonics and spiritual shocks were transmitted in a dragon roar, golden radiance blossoming on the inkstone, appearing incredibly exaggerated.
This was no longer a physical act, but a confrontation of spirit and will.
True Intent and the three core Talents were like a massive grindstone, gradually grinding this apparently living jade into extremely fine particles.
The powder ground by Lin Guang dissolved instantly at the inkstone’s base, slowly converging into a pool of flowing, colorful liquid.
Roar—
The process felt akin to purifying its impurities and will, immensely demanding, yet within a moment, fine beads of sweat dotted Lin Guang’s forehead.
Too immense!
This piece in hand, like a rebellious dragon, fiercely resisted Lin Guang’s grinding, even projecting various human-like emotions.
Unyielding, enraged, resentful...
But amidst this grueling battle, Lin Guang’s mind was more focused than ever.
He harbored no negative emotions.
Because this matter carried incredibly immense benefits, it was a tremendous opportunity.
He could feel, as the grinding continued, the vast ether and Dao Marks contained within the jade slowly being perceived by him.
And then...
Besides being ground into that flowing, purifying liquid, a very small portion of the jade was being gradually consumed by his True Intent and Source Stone Crystals.
A golden, trickling stream flowed into his Sea of Spirit, like the finest nourishment, beginning to resonate with the entire Sea of Spirit.
Contract Law Spirit Pattern.
Heart of Terra.
In an instant, the golden embryonic membrane enveloping Lin Guang’s Heart of Terra seemed activated, absorbing this trickling stream, transforming into soft golden light, sprinkling across the entire Sea of Spirit.
While combating this power, all Spirit Patterns, Inheritances, even the entire Sea of Spirit, seemed to voraciously devour this force.
And then...
The capacity of the Sea of Spirit, previously stretched thin after over-level contracting with the Angry Iron Plate and Constriction Serpent, began to rise bit by bit.
Expand the Sea of Spirit!
