Chapter 297 - Dare You Answer My Call? (1/2)

Chapter 297 Dare You Answer My Call?The Son of God couldn’t hide his jealousy anymore. He finally managed to swallow his saliva and asked laboriously, “Since when have you made such huge progress in your cultivation level?”

Nangong Diyi nodded repeatedly. It was the first time that he agreed with the Son of God. With an eager-to-know look, he forced Li Ye to answer. “Tell us quickly! Why did you make such a breakthrough in your cultivation level? Have you achieved the Yang Spiritual Master Realm already?”

Nangong Diyi felt very unfair. With heart and soul, he immersed himself in cultivation. He did nothing else but cultivated every day. But Li Ye was different. As the Commissioner of Pinglu, he usually had to handle endless public affairs, plus he happened to be a diligent commissioner. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have won the common feelings of the people in Pinglu and gained such powerful military strength.

Then there was the question: how long did it take for Li Ye to practice every day?

Every day, Li Ye only used a little time to practice. But his cultivation level was upgrading rapidly and was far higher than Nangong Diyi’s now. Nangong Diyi was always very proud of his great talent, so this news appeared to be unacceptable for him, who was determined to be the best in his world.

Beyond that, in Nangong Diyi’s impression, every time he went to find Li Ye, he rarely saw him sitting in meditation and practicing breathing techniques.

“But I deserve this. Don’t you think so?” Li Ye waved his hand with an indifferent look. Without glancing at them, he strode through Nangong Diyi and the Son of God. Walking in the air just like the two children before, Li Ye went straight to Feihong Bodhisattva. It seemed that he disdained to explain more to them.

His response instantly irritated Nangong Diyi and the Son of God. What did Li Ye’s careless attitude mean? It indicated that he was proud. Moreover, he thought that their cultivation progress was slow, and they were little men with narrow minds who appeared jealous.

Staring at Li Ye’s back, the Son of God and Nangong Diyi gnashed their teeth with hatred, but they could not lose their tempers because Li Ye made much faster progress in cultivation than them. Li Ye had enough reasons to be pride. If the Son of God and Nangong Diyi were very unconvinced, they were obviously envious of his talent! But they could not blame Li Ye for their slow progress. Instead, they should put the blame on themselves who were making slow progress in cultivation!

Nangong Diyi couldn’t help recalling the past years. Back when Li Ye launched the Conspiracy in Imperial Palace to root out Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyue, he asked for his help. At that time, Nangong Diyi was a master, but Li Ye was some citizen. However, the situation was completely reversed now! What a few years had it been!

Secretly, the Son of God clenched his teeth. When he first saw Li Ye, he was able to compete with him. Although he was no fighting match for Li Ye at the time, the gap of strength between them was not significant. But now only a few months had passed. Li Ye could easily knock the opponents that he could never defeat into the air by one slap! The Son of God couldn’t help thinking of the words that Li Ye sneered the nine-tail Demon Fox: you demon clan’s cultivation speed was too slow!

The demon clan had a much longer lifespan than the human’s, so their cultivation speed was slower than mortals’, but it was the law of the world and earth. It was not because of that the Son of God made no efforts.

Upon seeing Li Ye’s calm response, the Son of God and Nangong Diyi exchanged a look. Both of them secretly determined to practice much more diligently in the future. They must not let Li Ye be so arrogant, and they were going to humiliate him!

Looking into each other’s eyes, they found the same idea in the other’s mind. Simultaneously, they nodded at each other and got a tacit understanding. Now to some extent, they were bound by a common hatred for Li Ye and decided to teach him a lesson!

But after all, they did not like each other that much. In unison, they snorted coldly and looked away.

But Li Ye didn’t know what the Son of God and Nangong Diyi were thinking about. If he knew their thoughts, he would feel wronged.

He appeared calm because he cultivated in a different way, but he happened to be unable to tell others that. Or everyone in the world would know that he should win people’s support to elevate his cultivation level, which meant that Li Ye was destined to win the support of the people in the world. However, shouldn’t it be the thing that an emperor was destined to do? Even if Li Yan wouldn’t mind that, would those ministers thought differently?

Feihong Bodhisattva stopped drinking. The white mutton-fat jade pot was tied to her waist by a red string, hanging loosely beside her hand.

She still sat on the treetop sideways. The rays of morning sunlight rested on her shoulders. Along with the breeze, a few hairs of her started to dance, showing their transparent ends in the sunshine. When she landed her eyes on Li Ye, her bright red lips curved into a faint smile. After carefully measuring Li Ye from an elder’s view, she showed her appreciation of him as if she had seen a talented junior who was worth cultivating and promoting.

“Immortals’ bearings are truly different. Merely by sitting there, she can make the surroundings her decorative background. All the things around her actively increase her charm.”

Li Ye secretly sighed.

It was not his false impression. Those people who had reached the Immortal Realm must have comprehended the Great Tao. Therefore, every move of them would fit the Great Tao perfectly and would never hurt the harmony of the world. Even when they sat still, they could draw the Spiritual Qi between the heaven and earth to them. They were like mobile magnetic fields.

Feihong Bodhisattva spoke nothing, nor did Li Ye. Wearing a faintly detectable smile, Feihong Bodhisattva looked at Li Ye. Just like her, Li Ye also watched Feihong Bodhisattva with a smile.

Li Ye knew that he was qualified to be appreciated because of his good-looking appearance and graceful manner, but in Li Ye’s eyes, Feihong Bodhisattva before him was truly gorgeous. No words could describe her beauty, so in fact, it was authentically worthwhile to appreciate her.

The two of them stood still as if there were no people in front of them but only a landscape painting, and they were viewers outside it.

However, the occult match had already begun between them.

The first round of the match was to see who could invite the other one to go into the painting first.

Feihong Bodhisattva had achieved a high-level cultivation realm and got an in-depth understanding of the world’s Great Tao. A mere idea crossed her mind could mobilize the Spiritual Qi in her body and then affect the things around her. To Feihong Bodhisattva, mountains and rivers were, to some extent, paintings that could move freely at her will. Now she was looking at Li Ye as if she were enjoying a picture. By viewing Li Ye as an integral part of the scenery around, she intended to bring him into the painting and take full control of him.

The viewer standing outside the painting was also the painter, who could amend the painting as she pleased, so she could certainly erase the people and objects in the painting.

What Feihong Bodhisattva was going to erase was Li Ye.

This kind of thing appeared to be quite mysterious, but in fact, it was only the basic skill of the masters who had achieved the Immortal Realm.

An Immortal Realm cultivator could directly affect an area of the world. With a simple move, the cultivator could easily move mountains and fill seas as well as change river flows. It was said that the territory was the unique skill of cultivators in the Spiritual Master Realm. Then, the unique skill of cultivators in the Immortal Realm was Immortal Area. Within the territory, the Spiritual Master Realm cultivator was the master. Well, in Immortal Area, everything was controlled by the Immortal. It was just that the Immortal Area was much more complicated and mysterious than the territory.

At first, it looked likely that Feihong Bodhisattva wanted to absorb Li Ye into the picture scroll of heaven and earth, but actually, she was going to drop him into her Immortal Area.

Therefore, Feihong Bodhisattva looked at Li Ye as if she were enjoying a figure in a landscape painting.

So it was the same with Li Ye.

But Li Ye hadn’t yet reached the Immortal Realm. Thus, he could never drag Feihong Bodhisattva into his painting. Only by trying to draw Feihong Bodhisattva into his painting could he keep himself off her painting.

At this moment, Feihong Bodhisattva was a scroll of painting in Li Ye’s eyes.

The beauty of Feihong Bodhisattva was supermundane and refined, but not unreal. Her beauty was much more appealing than the beauty which could overthrow states and cities. People thought that some women were exceedingly beautiful only because their figures conformed to certain specific esthetic standards of women at a particular time. For example, people in the Tang Dynasty regarded fat ladies as beauties.

But no matter what kinds of specific esthetic standards of women were used to scrutinize Feihong Bodhisattva’s face, it was flawless. She was perfect and was beyond the scope of any evaluation. Though it looked like that her posture was so wild and unconstrained, her acts were actually in harmony with Great Tao.
