2.09% Painting of the Nine Immortals / Chapter 21: Three Arrayed Ancient Blood

Chapitre 21: Three Arrayed Ancient Blood

Éditeur: Tennesh, Rainystars

Painting of the Nine Immortals was a rare and divine spatial instrument.

This internal world of the painting was not that different from the external world. There were ponds, rivers, lakes, and oceans; sun, moon, stars and time; flowers, birds, fish, and bugs; grass, forests, mountains, and rocks. The world also transforms based on the owner’s mood and thoughts. The land was borderless and infinite.

The internal world was filled with spiritual energy. One day of training in this world equaled to three days of training in the external world, which was why it was known as rare and divine.

Spatial instruments were categorized into three types based on their special properties. The first type was the Blessed Land. Blessed Land had a radius of around ten miles. The land was often used to plant medicinal herbs or raise spiritual pets. The amount of spiritual energy in the area was about two times the amount of the external world.

The second area was known as Fascinating Space. Better than Blessed Land, the spiritual energy in these areas were four times the amount of the external world. The amount of area it occupies was ten times larger and had a radius of around one hundred miles. Any human could enter the world. As well, the place grew exclusive mystical items.

The third world was called Little Universe. This world continuously changed, its land was infinitely large, and it reacted and expanded based on its owner’s cultivation process. This world not only contained spiritual energy that was ten times stronger than the external world, but it was also the hiding place of the Three Thousand Roads and the Rules between Heaven and Earth. These rules include concepts like time, space, and transmigration. Once the owner cultivated to a certain degree, the Little Universe turned into a tangible real world.

Additionally, as long as the owner was inside the universe, he or she would have full control over the universe. Even if an opponent who was much better trained and much stronger attacked the universe, once the owner dragged the opponent into the universe, the opponent would end up defenseless because of the favoritism the universe showed towards its owner.

These three types of spatial instruments were equally rare. Even the lowest leveled Blessed Land could easily lead to a bloody battle. In the entire cultivation community, the total number of these instruments could be counted on ten fingers, let alone the rarest one, Little Universe.

The Painting of the Nine Immortals was the third type of spatial instrument – Little Universe. This particular painting, however, only had spiritual energy levels three times the amount of the external world. That was because it is currently defective and the laws guiding the world is incomplete. Hence, the true power of the world could not be fully expressed.

Ling Xian was sitting on a giant green rock in a lotus position. His eyes were tightly shut, and he was unmoving like an old monk. Spiritual energy was twirling around him and slowly entering his body, nourishing his organs and pumping through his veins.

Every wave of spiritual energy was like the spring rain, moisturizing his body. With every exhale, his Qi level increased.

After Ling Hu had left, Ling Xian entered the painting to train. He was someone with a strong personality. For that wild and far away dream of his, he had no choice but to believe, to preserve, and to treasure every second of every day.

Then, just as he was paying full attention to his training, he suddenly felt a dry heat inside his body. Every drop of blood seemed to be burning at extremely high temperatures. Like a gushing river, every drop of his mysterious blood was rushing toward one direction and eventually converged inside his chest. Everything was burning; everything was boiling.

Frowning, Ling Xian was unsure of what was happening. However, he could feel that the blood inside him was about to erupt like a volcano. His blood, like lava, was just about to explode and melt every inch of him.

"Could this be… the majestic blood master talked about?"

Clenching his teeth and biting away his pain, Ling Xian’s entire body was evaporating at a fast speed. His skin was bright red and was starting to crack.

In the history of the Taoism community, there were only two majestic cultivators.

One was named Yue Pang Gu.

One was named Yue Hong Jun.

The term "majestic blood" was derived from these two saints.

One paved a path between heaven and earth, and one sacrificed himself to perfect the heavenly rules. This pair of ancient godly figures established the world that was today.

Majestic blood had nothing to do with who the parents of the child were. It could randomly be born within a newborn. According to ancient records, since the beginning of time, a cultivator with majestic blood would be born every few ten thousand years. The baby may be born into a mortal family, or the baby may also be born as a demon.

Rarely were people able to unlock the seals set by the heavens. Most lived their entire lives as a mortal, who kept busy but had no real purpose.

People like Ling Xian, who had the fortune of unlocking his seals under the help of an Immortal, are almost non-existent.

"Damn, if this continues, I will be burned alive!" Ling Xian panicked. The majestic blood in his body was about to be completely awakened.

The majestic blood wanted to wake up. However, the other three inhibition spells inside Ling Xian’s body were not agreeing. Their existence was to stop the majestic blood from awakening and not let Ling Xian enjoy the advantages of having supernatural blood.

Boom!

A sky cracking noise rumbled across the sky.

A giant silhouette appeared above his head. It covered much of the sky. The atmosphere was grand and desolated.

The air turned foggy, and the world became humid. All of a sudden, there were nine jade pillars with carvings of a five-clawed gold dragon on each pillar. Because the first array was activated, the dragon turned very lively. All nine dragons were moving simultaneously, with their teeth bared and claws ready to attack. Surges of mighty forces extended downward and pressed onto the red-bodied Ling Xian.

The Immortal Trap.

Based on its name one could tell that if trapped with this seal, even the Immortals cannot defend themselves. It was the king of all seals, and it was created 10,000 years ago by the great seal master, Feng Qing Ming. Using the First Ranked instrument, Dragon-Pillar, as a dry ingredient and naturally formed crystal between heaven and earth as the other core ingredient, the seal master brewed them together for 99811 years, forming this array with the energy created.

At the time, the tunnel between the mortal’s world and immortal’s world have yet to disappear. Therefore, cultivators were able to fly from their world to the immortal’s. The immortals could also used the loophole of the Heaven and Earth Rules and used unknown methods to go to the mortal world.

According to ancient records, at that time, three Immortals decided to descend to the mortal world to study the guiding laws of the world. However, nobody knows why the Immortals angered Feng Qing Ming and formed an unfriendly relationship. In the Immortals’ eyes, low ranked cultivators were as weak as ants. Therefore, they simply planned to kill off Feng Qing Ming. Who could predict that instead, they were trapped under the newly created array instead?

This seal was hence named the Immortal Trap.

Feng Qing Ming, after this incident, became a well-known grandmaster of seals!

This array trapped the three Immortals for as long as 800 years. When the three of them exhausted themselves breaking the trap, Feng Qing Ming had already reached the highest stage of his training. He summoned and crystallized souls from nine demons. From there, he created a second array and slaughtered the three exhausted Immortals with one blow.

Because the Immortal Trap was perfected by energy from heaven and earth, God was able to use the trap inside Ling Xian’s body. However, because the body was hollow, the strength of the trap was only one-tenth the strength of the original array. Therefore, God decided to set up three other supreme arrays.

Ling Xian’s brows were tightly twisted together. The mysterious power of the Immortal Trap made his majestic blood calm down a little. Though this was only temporary. After being trapped for a full fourteen years, the amount of anger the blood had was overpowering, especially since it has been some time since the first seal was broken by Liao Cang Qiong.

Right now, the power of the majestic blood was spewing out. Its strength was earth-shattering and land-sweeping!

Ling Xian was hoping the majestic blood would wake up because that would mean he would no longer be bounded by anything and could finally free himself and rise into the sky. However, based on how the situation was looking, before the blood could fully wake up, his weak body would give out. After all, he did not have a naturally strong physique, and his level of training was too low.

Bitterly smiling and shaking his head, Ling Xian left his fate to the Gods. Despite his hatred for the three arrays, he was really hoping the seals would calm the majestic blood. He was willing for the blood to be unlocked after he slowly grew up.

Boom boom!

Noticing that the Immortal Trap could no longer contain the majestic blood, the other two arrays began to appear. Surges of fog washed toward him along with a blinding nine-colored heavenly essence. Like a giant mountain that was pressing downward, the atmosphere was suppressing and distressing!

The God Restriction!

The Earth Lock!

The origins of these two arrays were unknown. The only rumor there was about them was that it was created in the Immortal world, its strength was indescribable, and its power was infinite. A long, long time ago, two cultivators linked their hands to activate the arrays and what they ended up concealing was not one cultivator, not a group of cultivators, but the entire Mortal world!!

At the time, the entire Mortal world was in chaos. The heaven and the earth were not cooperating, and the entire population was crying. This environment lasted as long as ten years, and became known as the God Defying era!

And now, not only were these two arrays combining their strength, but they were also working together with the Immortal Trap. They are crazily trying to suppress the majestic blood in Ling Xian’s body.

One has to admit that this was an amazing honor.

The array that once sealed the entire mortal world was working together with the Immortal Trap just to repress the majestic blood. This really proved the majestic blood’s God-defying properties.

A lion would not waste its energy fighting with a rabbit.

The Gods decided to use four God-defying arrays to freeze Ling Xian’s majestic blood. In other words, this mysterious majestic blood required four different arrays to be repressed. On top of that, they were able to repress Ling Xian blood when he was unable to cultivate. What kind mightiness did the blood have?

The mightiness of the majestic blood was Ling Xian’s mightiness.

His natural talent and his potential were strong enough to make the Gods helpless.

Feeling the powerful mana, Ling Xian’s majestic blood did not want to appear weak. It flared, boiled, and howled!

The force that was locked behind doors for years finally burst. At that moment, the entire internal world of the Painting of the Nine Immortals was uncontrollably shaken. The ruthless mana pierced through the sky and stirred around the wind and clouds. There was no more light!

Covered in both black and white mana, a murky silhouette appeared behind the weak Ling Xian. A giant, as if it could lift the heavens from the ground, was slowly starting to stand up. Its body covered the sun, as its size grew humongous.

Pity, because Ling Xian’s training level was too low, the silhouette collapsed and dispersed as soon as it was 100 meters tall.

This time, no matter how strong the majestic blood was, it could not counter attack the teamwork between the three arrays.

The God Restriction, the Earth Lock, and the Immortal Trap were melting into each other and draping down a mysterious round of light with an infinite amount of energy in them. Like a cauldron that could swallow the sky and earth, that can cook the sun and the moon, the cauldron summoned the boiling majestic blood and sealed it at once!

"Ah!"

The majestic blood finally calmed down and fled to each and every corner of Ling Xian’s body, as if to hide from the seals. However, to withstand the flow of this blood, it caused him great pain. Every single bone in his body was cracking and snapping as if they were breaking into a million pieces. The pain caused his face to turn sheet white. Any moment now… he could pass out any moment now.


Chapitre 22: Heaven Shadowing Palm Technique

Éditeur: Tennesh, Rainystars

Agony!

Agony that was bone marrow deep!

Agony that was indescribable!

Ling Xian’s cold sweat continued to drip, as fresh blood soaked through his robe. Waves of bone-deep pain pierced through him and he shook uncontrollably.

In a desperate moment like this, he suddenly remembered a strange incantation a mysterious woman taught him a few years ago. Subconsciously, he began to mutter, “Na mo he luo da na, duo luo ye ye. Na mo a li ye, pol u jie di shuo boluo ye. Pu tis a duo po ye, mo he sa duo po ye, mo he jia lu ni jia ye…”

Instantly, a surge of abstruse mana proliferated. Ling Xian calmed down, though his bones still cracked and the agony was still present. He could no longer feel the pain.

The Meditation mantra.

It was one of the nine great mantras in the cultivation community. It had the effect of calming one down and allowed the cultivator to remain composed at any time. It was a mantra that aimed to constrain the irrationality in one’s heart and mind. Its origins were unknown and very few people know the specific words to the mantra.

Happiness, anger, grief, shock, and fear, all these emotions have been fully created by humans. Therefore, as long as the heart was calm, there would be no need for these emotions to be felt, no matter what was happening in the outside world.

Ling Xian’s eyes were tightly shut, and he continued to mutter the mantra. Behind him, a spectrum of milky white light surfaced. The light was rippling and broadening, making Ling Xian look solemn and collected.

Right now, his mind was completely mute. His mood was neutral, his heart untangled, and he was not at all disturbed by the pain.

As if he was a lotus emerging from the earth, as he rose, he did not carry a speck of dirt with him.

“He knows the meditation mantra…” Liao Cang Qiong’s silhouette appeared in mid-air. He stared at the composed Ling Xian in shock and mumbled to himself, “What a lucky guy. After I lifted the God Restrict array, his majestic blood is waking up by itself. If the majestic blood could free itself, then in the future, he should be able to lift the Gods’ other arrays without my help.”

When Ling Xian entered the Painting of the Nine Immortals¸ Liao Cang Qiong felt the majestic blood boiling and its intense urge to wake up. The appearance of the three arrays and the suppression of the majestic blood was easily predicted by him. The reason why he did not step out and offer help right away was that he wanted to see how far his apprentice could go without a helping hand.

He was not disappointed at the result.

Moments ago, he was one step away from easing Ling Xian's pains. However, Ling Xian’s determination to endure the pain for this long was beyond his expectation. He also did not think Ling Xian would know one of the nine mantras. He really was surprised by the turn of events.

“A determined heart, a rare talent, and outrageous luck.” Liao Cang Qiong nodded in satisfaction and proudness. “Not bad. To be able to acquire such a good apprentice when I am merely a soul. Even if I die, I do not have regrets.”

This was a tremendous compliment.

He was an irreplaceable Immortal. His alchemy skills were recorded in history, and nobody has been able to surpass him. In his lifetime, he has seen far too many geniuses, yet none of them could gauge his interest. His great assessment of Ling Xian really proved the rarity of Ling Xian’s talent.

“Hmm…” exhaling deeply, Ling Xan opened his eyes. The light behind him was slowly disappearing. Looking at his wounded and hurt body, he couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.

The Sky Seal, the Earth Lock, and the Immortal Trap were dispersing slowly and turning into three rays of light before entering his body again. One array dominated his brain, one array seized his arms, and another one abducted his legs. The arrays divided up the work and each took an area to rule and repress the majestic ancient blood.

Because the God Restrict array was lifted by Liao Cang Qiong, there was a disconnect between the four arrays. The God Restrict array that was originally responsible for Ling Xian’s upper body was no longer there, resulting in the other three arrays extending themselves to suppress his chest and stomach.

Though the three arrays have settled down, after that intense struggle from the majestic blood, they were not having an easy time. As they weakened, a drop of gold blood from Ling Xian’s arm slowly melted into Ling Xian’s chest.

Boom!

Like thousands of soldiers and horses dashing toward the enemies; like a gigantic wave that was as high as the sky, a loud rumble exploded from his body. Countless gold rays emerged from his body and reflected off of each other. It was blinding.

There were tens and thousands of bands of light that plowed through the clouds and penetrated the eyes. The entire world was filled with this golden light. The entire Painting of the Nine Immortals world was shaking. All the clouds in the sky were dissipating, the winds were swarming, and the sun and the moon lost their light.

“What is happening?” Ling Xian stared at the changing scene in front him, not understanding what was going on.

The golden light seemed to have some healing effects. Ling Xian's broken bones were healing at a speed that was fast enough to be invisible to the naked eye. His tired heart and mind were beginning to feel energized. He felt relaxed and as strong as a tiger. He felt like he had an unlimited amount of strength and could easily break a boulder with one punch if he wanted to.

Liao Cang Qiong was also gazing at the mystic scene before him. In his eyes, there was a trace of shock. He stroked his beard and smiled pleasantly. “He is awakening a guiding law. He lacks the qualification, yet he is still pulling this off. This really is God-defying… I wonder which kind of guiding law he is awakening.”

Guiding laws were a powerful tactic used in the cultivation community. Similar to the Inner Eyes, those without shocking abilities could not awaken them. However, if a law gets awakened, then its capabilities were infinite. In the history of Qing, every cultivator that woke a guiding law deeply signed their signatures and left their marks on the world.

Every symptom Ling Xian was displaying was alluding to the awakening of a guiding law.

His eyes were subconsciously shut tight. Inside his ears, noises were roaring. In the sky, a few thousand more gold bands draped down. On the ground, a few thousand lotuses emerged and bloomed.

In the past, this magnificent sight only occurs when cultivators achieve great enlightenments, or when a guiding law was being discovered.

A guiding law was neither a supernatural tactic nor a technique. It was also considered to be absolutely useless. However, every cultivator craved it because it indicated approval from the Gods. It was a true honor only enjoyed by the pride of heaven.

Just then, nine gold dragons appeared in the sky. In front of them was a ball of flaring flame. The nine dragons entangled themselves as they bared their teeth and claws. They chased towards the ball of fire.

Pursuit of the Nine Dragon!

Another testimony from the Gods!

“This… When a guiding law is being awakened, there are three indications of a God's presence. This was the second indication of the existence of a guiding law. There is a third indication that only occurs when an invincible guiding law awakens. Could it be that it will happen here today?” Liao Cang Qiong was getting more and more shocked.

Ordinarily speaking, a guiding law could only be awakened once the Yuan Ying training stage was reached. Ling Xian was only at the Qi training stage, yet he was already awakening a guiding law. This was enough to prove his potential and talent, as this type of situations only occurs once in many thousands of years. Therefore, Liao Cang Qiong assumed that Ling Xian could only awaken a low level guiding law. However, there has already been two indications. Based on the situation, the third indication was going to show up soon too.

Sure enough, just as Liao Cang Qiong’s expectation could not get any higher, gold light spewed out of Ling Xian’s body and transformed into red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple lights. The rainbow colors intertwined and complemented each other. Slowly they merged and turned into a blinding light on top of Ling Xian’s head. It slowly metamorphosed into a seven-colored crown.

The Immortal Crown!

The third indication from the Gods emerged into the world. The light covered up the sky and the sun for three whole miles!

“Wow… the third indication.” Liao Cang Qiong was at a loss for words as he gazed at the beautiful Immortal Crown. He exclaimed, “What a bold fella. To awaken an invincible guiding law, while still in the Qi training stage. Unbelievable… the majestic blood sure is something.”

The third indication from the Gods continued to flash in the sky. Halo after Halo formed with each new one brighter than the old one. It represented the birth of an invincible guiding law and represented Ling Xian’s unmatchable talent!

Good thing he was inside the Painting of the Nine Immortals and no outsiders saw these three shocking indications. The entire Qin Dynasty would be in chaos over what Ling Xian has achieved!

Boom!

A horrifying mana ejected out of nowhere. Like a tidal wave, it raised into the air. The three indications instantly disappeared. The little world inside the painting was starting to panic.

The branches broke off the ancient trees, the giant rocks were cracking into pieces. Everything in the little world was shaking and breaking. The world was on the edge of total destruction.

“Settle!” Liao Cang Qiong formed a hand seal and screamed on top of his lungs. The grass, trees, and mountains stabilized.

Looking at Ling Xian, whose eyes were still closed, Liao Cang Qiong’s expectation heightened again. “Even before fully awakening, it already is so powerful. I wonder what kind of guiding law this is.”

Ling Xian, sitting in the lotus pose, was in a half-conscious state. He was completely unaware of everything that was happening in the world and was under complete control of the soon to be awakened guiding law.

Being summoned time after time, a thunderous growl came from inside his body. Suddenly, the sky turned pitch black, and stars rose to decorate the darkness. The constellations formed were magnificent and mysterious.

A giant gold hand materialized behind his back, eight miles wide and nine miles high. Like a God’s hand, the stars were blocked by the giant hand. The entire universe darkened once again, without a single trace of light.

The rivers and the mountains split in two, and the galaxies broke into pieces. The giant God-like hand stayed there in a divine manner. If moved up, it would destroy the sky, if slid down, it would destruct the oceans. Bubbling with an invincible atmosphere, it pierced through the cloud.

Heaven Shadowing Palm Technique.

“I can’t believe it. It’s one of the strongest guiding laws, the Heaven Shadowing Palm Technique. Unbelievable. No wonder it had such an intense presence,” Liao Cang Qiong complimented. His voice flooded with shock.

He was not only shocked at Ling Xian unlocking a guiding law while at the Qi training stage, but he was also in awe of the Heaven Shadowing Palm Technique.

To be the “strongest” guiding law was not a light statement. In the entire Taoism community, there has been thousands of guiding laws. However, there were only six laws that could be crowned with the title of being the strongest!

Heaven Shadowing Palm Technique was one of them!

As alluded by its name, this technique could shadow 90% of the sky and 100% of the earth. It could also obstruct the sun, the moon, and the stars. It was an impenetrable defense guiding law!

The giant hand blocked off the entire sky and covered the entire galaxy. The energy it gave off was undefeatable and raged across the small universe. Only after a very long while did the hand finally fade away.

Ling Xian gradually opened his eyes. The scenery before him was devastating.

“Master, what happened? Did I cause all this destruction?”
