Chapter 429 - Second Drawing of Lightning (1/2)
King True Martial released his domain to affect his surroundings, so he was naturally on guard.
Meng Chuan and company also released their Seamless Domains. When experts cultivated, they hated being disturbed the most. This was especially so when they were immersed in their meditation. The interference of others would probably affect them during the critical moment of a breakthrough. Therefore, everyone released their Seamless domains and kept to themselves.
“This lake is indescribably marvelous.” King True Martial smiled as he watched. His True Martial domain appeared around him as he began comprehending the profundities of the Yin-Yang Lake.
In the Yin-Yang Lake, countless black-and-white gas streams pursued each other. The power within these gas streams was extremely terrifying. It shattered the darkness, causing the world to be born.
If one fell into the lake, they would be instantly pulverized.
“Life is limited, but the Great Dao is limitless.” Peng Mu muttered to himself as he looked at the phenomenon stemming from a world’s birth. The closer he was to the end of his lifespan, the tinier he felt.
Peng Mu glanced at his old friend, Yun Jianhai.
Yun Jianhai had already unsheathed his sword and began practicing his swordplay. Sword beams swirled around him like waves.
Huh? Peng Mu looked at the distant Meng Chuan in surprise.
Meng Chuan produced a table, chair, color palette, brush, and other items from his Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead. He sat there and began to mix the paint.
What is he doing? Peng Mu was secretly puzzled.
Meng Chuan sat in front of the table. The entire World Gap was his study room. The scene of purple lightning tearing through the darkness was his painting target.
I can finally paint it a second time. Meng Chuan was overjoyed. My technique realm was relatively low when I painted it the last time. I was still a Marquis Godfiend. Now that I’ve attained Greater Mastery of the Dharma Domain realm, the differences are obvious after seeing it again.
In the different stages of cultivation, one would naturally obtain different benefits from observing the purple lightning.
I’ll paint the Fifteen Lightning Forms again. This was something Meng Chuan had long yearned for. He laid out the paper, pressed it down with a ruler, and painted after some thought. With his previous painting experience and his two self-created ultimate techniques, Meng Chuan had his own ideas regarding the order of his paintings. First, he drew the lightning’s void aspect.
The Nine Heavenly Forms of the Void was something Meng Chuan had a deep understanding of. The Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique—which he had created
-contained many mysteries from this aspect of lightning. Meng Chuan was completely immersed in painting the Nine Heavenly Forms of the Void.
Wonderful, wonderful. As he painted the Nine Heavenly Forms of the Void, he fused his new insights with his old, gaining a deeper understanding of the void aspect of lightning Meng Chuan couldn’t help but be extremely excited.
Comprehending the Dao in the morning leaves one content even if one dies in the evening.
This was exactly the point of comprehending the Dao!
When Meng Chuan painted, he felt the light forms deepen. It was as though he saw the Dao and the truth. He was so excited that his blood boiled. Tears welled up in his eyes as his Essence Soul emitted a spiritual glow.
This was common for powerful Godfiends. When they had a breakthrough, they would feel joy from their souls. As this happened, they sought answers from their inner self, causing their Essence Souls to transform.
Meng Chuan first began painting the void aspect—the Nine Heavenly Forms, Lightning Domain Form, Reality Form, and Selfless Form.
As he immersed himself in painting, he forgot about the time. After becoming a Regis Godfiend, he remained extremely energetic even if he didn’t eat, drink, or sleep for a month.
Meng Chuan divided the purple lightning into four aspects-void, lightning, destruction, and life—and finished a total of 15 paintings.
All would find the scene of the forming world in the World Gap staggering and boundless, be it Godfiend or demon monarch. They didn’t have any extravagant hopes of fusing all the profundities of the world with their own knowledge. This was because each aspect was simply too vast. They could only choose a part of them. They chose what was most suitable for them, comprehending and fusing them so as to improve themselves.
If Meng Chuan were cultivating his saber arts, it would be the same. However, he was painting! A painting depicted the purple lightning’s charm. The purple lightning’s charm in various aspects could be found in each painting. When one saw any of the paintings, it was like seeing the actual purple lightning. It was perfect. However, due to his painting ability, Meng Chuan could only divide it into 15 pieces. The painting process deepened Meng Chuan’s understanding of the purple lightning.
Others would only focus on a small portion of the purple lightning’s profundities when cultivating. Compared to them, Meng Chuan took in the purple lightning in its entirety. Furthermore, with the eyes of a peerless artist, he grasped its essence. This also affected Meng Chuan’s cultivation path.
Demon Realm, Ice Palace.
In the hall.
The three Imperial Lords sat on their thrones as the illusory scene in front of them dissipated.
