Chapter 603: The World in the Painting, the People in the Painting
I don't know how long it took, but the sky gradually darkened.
Chacha, who was guarding outside the door, fell asleep, and everything was quiet.
Li Daoxuan finally stopped writing and gradually woke up from that wonderful state. At this moment, he vaguely realized what an amazing magical power his senior sister had taught him!
When he was just painting, he felt as if he had become the god of creation, reuniting earth, water, wind and fire with a wave of his hand to evolve the vast universe.
The great supernatural power of Tiangang - mediating the creation!
Li Daoxuan already knew the name of this magical power. It was the legendary magical power that Nuwa used to create human beings. It was also the magical power ranked first among the Thirty-Six Tiangang Techniques!
The Louguan Dao once had a master of extraordinary talent who had been trying to comprehend this method for decades without success. Finally, out of desperation, he created the secret techniques of cutting the sky and repairing the sky.
Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng practiced these two secret techniques separately, and with their combined efforts they were able to unleash a miraculous effect similar to the mediation of fate.
But at best it is just a low-end copycat version of mediation, which is far from the real mediation, and there is a world of difference between them.
And what Li Daoxuan is learning now is the genuine and uncompromising mediation of fate!
"Doctor Li, congratulations on your successful entry. From now on, as long as you keep practicing and use painting to enter the Tao, you will be able to reach a high level of cultivation one day."
Taizhen's voice sounded, with a hint of joy, but also some confusion.
"But what exactly is this painting you're drawing? Why is it so strange?"
Hearing this, Li Daoxuan subconsciously lowered his head to take a look. When he saw the contents of the painting clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked and his heart was filled with waves.
The painting showed a scene that he was very familiar with. It was a metropolis with bright lights and nightlife, tall buildings rising from the ground, cement roads extending in all directions, and a bustling city...
That was exactly where he lived before he traveled through time.
He hadn't seen such a scene for a long time. It felt like a lifetime ago and mixed emotions welled up in his heart.
Looking up at the bright moon, I think of my hometown.
He has been in this world for eleven years and has found his own place, but it is undeniable that in his heart, his hometown is still that distant place.
I don’t know how my parents are doing now.
Taizhen seemed to be aware of his current state, smiled slightly, and said: "Doctor Li, is this your hometown?"
Li Daoxuan was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Fortunately, Taizhen did not continue to ask, but smiled and said, "Doctor Li, since you miss home, why don't you go and see it together?"
Just when Li Daoxuan was feeling confused, Taizhen suddenly grabbed his hand and jumped into the painting.
The dazzling fairy light bloomed, and the painting rippled slightly like water waves, swallowing up the figures of the two people, and then slowly returned to calm.
…
Beep beep!
The sound of cars keeps ringing, the streets are crowded with people, and the fast-paced life makes people rush around and seem a little numb.
But today, many people stopped, took out their mobile phones to take pictures of the two people, and were reluctant to leave.
Just because those two people are so unique.
They were a man and a woman, both wearing ancient costumes. The man was handsome and elegant, with an extraordinary temperament, while the woman was breathtakingly beautiful, with white clothes as white as snow and black hair like a waterfall. Her temperament was ethereal and lively, and there was an indescribable ancient charm in her every move.
This perfect couple is like immortals who walked out of an ancient painting in a museum and mistakenly entered the mortal world.
"This is so handsome, so elegant!"
"She is so beautiful, just like a star - no, she is even more beautiful than those stars. Even a woman like me is attracted to her!"
"I really want to ask for a contact method..."
"Are they filming a movie? Why can't I see any cameras or crew members?"
“He should be a Hanfu enthusiast.”
…
"Doctor Li, is this your hometown? So... special."
Taizhen looked at these people in strange clothes, especially some of the women, who were dressed so boldly, with so little fabric that even their bellies were exposed. It was really unbelievable.
And those tall buildings, like Li Tianwang’s pagoda, rise from the ground and reach the blue sky.
What made her most curious were those iron boxes with wheels. They looked like magical tools, but did not contain any magical power fluctuations, and ran faster than a horse-drawn carriage.
Li Daoxuan held her hand tightly, looking at the strange yet familiar city in front of him, and suddenly felt a little nervous.
Did I really create a world?
He opened his third eye, wanting to see the end of the world, but found that this place was just like his memories of his previous life, with almost no boundaries, including the ends of the earth, the stars and the universe.
He did not draw a universe, but only a city. The rest were automatically completed by the great supernatural power of mediating creation.
Everything here is real, people have their own thoughts, and Li Daoxuan even sees their souls.
But everything here is very fragile, and there are many rules. For example, the speed cannot exceed a certain value, otherwise the world may collapse.
For example, there is someone like Li Daoxuan.
Although this was the world he created with his own hands, as soon as he opened his third eye, the world began to shake, and cracks appeared on the ground.
“Earthquake!”
"Run! There's an earthquake!"
"We're not in an earthquake zone, how is that possible?"
People no longer cared about the immortal couple and started to rush to escape.
However, the earthquake came and went quickly, and stopped in just a few seconds, as if the earth had sneezed. Only the mess on the ground could prove what had just happened.
Someone noticed that the two special men and women had disappeared.
"Strange, why did they suddenly disappear?"
"I just seemed to see an eye open between the man's eyebrows, and then an earthquake occurred!"
"Haha, you must have seen it wrong. Could it be that Erlang Shen has come down to earth?"
…
Above the clouds, Li Daoxuan and Taizhen stepped on auspicious clouds and flew towards a certain place.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of his parents.
If this world is real, then would his parents still live in his original home?
Taizhen seemed to notice his excitement. She didn't say anything, but just held his hand silently and stayed by his side.
It was the first time she saw her junior brother so excited, even a little... nervous?
The speed of the cloud-flying technique was very fast, and they landed in an ordinary residential area a moment later. Li Daoxuan held his senior sister's hand, walked into a building familiarly, got in the elevator, and pressed the ninth floor.
At this moment, he suddenly had the feeling of taking his girlfriend home to meet his parents.
Once upon a time, his parents often advised him to go on blind dates and bring home a girlfriend as soon as possible, but Li Daoxuan always refused on the grounds of being busy with work.
In fact, it’s not that I’m busy, it’s that I’m poor.
Now he brings his senior sister home. Given her appearance and temperament, I wonder if her parents will be shocked?
Li Daoxuan found the familiar door, reached out to knock, but suddenly stopped.
I feel more timid as I get closer to home.
He was even more afraid that the person who opened the door would be a stranger.
After thinking about it, Li Daoxuan did not open his third eye, but instead poured his magic power into his eyes, saw through the door, and wanted to see what was inside.
The familiar layout gave him a shock.
The old fan that sways when it turns, the washing machine that hums in the bathroom, the refrigerator that is packed tightly, the sound of the knife chopping on the chopping board in the kitchen...
Sitting on the sofa was a little old man wearing reading glasses and holding a newspaper.
Li Daoxuan's eyes gradually became moist, and just as he was about to knock on the door, a voice suddenly sounded in the kitchen.
"Mr. Li, the meal is almost ready. Go wake the child up to eat. He has been working hard these days. I made his favorite sweet and sour fish!"
Li Daoxuan's hand that was knocking on the door stopped there.
A moment later, a yawning young man walked out of the room. He was wearing loose pajamas, had messy hair, and had a gentle and handsome appearance.
A moment later.
The parents and the child had lunch together. Whenever the mother talked about blind dates, the child would make jokes and act crazy. The family played and laughed, and had a great time.
Li Daoxuan put down his hand that was about to knock on the door and looked at the scene quietly for a long time.
"They are your relatives, right? Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Taizhen looked at her junior brother's calm eyes and suddenly felt distressed for some reason. She stretched out her other hand and was about to cast a spell, but was held down by Li Daoxuan.
"No, this is fine."
Li Daoxuan sighed softly and said, "Perhaps deep down in my heart, I wish I had never left."
…
An hour later.
In the Chengnan Medical Clinic in Langzhong.
There was a flash of light on the scroll, and Li Daoxuan and Taizhen reappeared in the room, but the painting became dim and lost all its spirituality, becoming useless.
This was originally a semi-finished product of his practice of mediating the destiny of the universe. This magical power was so profound that with Li Daoxuan's level of cultivation, it was already very difficult for the world in the painting he created to last for so long.
He stretched out his hand, and in his palm was a leaf.
This is the leaf he brought back from the painting, and he wanted to see if it could exist in the real world.
The result disappointed him. The leaf quickly turned into ashes and disappeared.
"Senior Sister, can the world in the painting exist forever?"
Taizhen thought for a moment and said, "That depends on your own cultivation and the degree of your mastery of this magical power. If you can reach the realm of Lady Nuwa, let alone the world in the painting, it would not be difficult to create a world in reality."
Create something out of nothing, and follow the law with your words!
This is a supreme magical power that points directly to the core of the Great Dao. If it is cultivated to perfection, it is possible to reach the realm of the saints of the past.
Of course, this is extremely difficult.
Li Daoxuan suddenly asked another question.
"Senior Sister, will the person in the painting be aware that he is in the painting?"
"Of course not."
Taizhen said with certainty: "A leaf blocks the view of Mount Tai. Moreover, for the person in the painting, the whole world is just that leaf blocking the view, and it is almost impossible to see it."
After a pause, she continued, "Of course, if your cultivation is not advanced enough, the world you create will have flaws, and sometimes they may be discovered by the people in the painting."
"For example... a person with high spirituality may accidentally dream of a certain scene in the future. Another example is that many people may misremember the same thing..."
"But even if they find something wrong, they will find a way to justify it, because people will only accept things that they can understand."
Taizhen obviously has rich experience. The reason why she liked to write vernacular novels in the past was to cultivate this magical power.
She has been to many worlds created by her own works, and has been friends and enemies with the protagonists in them.
It seems that he is staying at home doing nothing, but in fact he is dreaming of three thousand worlds, his soul wandering in strange and bizarre places, and leaving legends in each small world.
Li Daoxuan asked a question that made her feel a little cold.
"Senior Sister, then you say... could we also be the people in the painting?"
