"Could it really have been drawn?"
Su Lie was in disbelief.
The painting had always been on paper, and it couldn't even be called an illusion. How could it be so real, and how could he be standing within it?
If there really was someone who could draw such a place, then what kind of method would that be? It was almost like the creation of the heavens and the void, and what cultivation was required to create such a place.
"In this world, anything is possible. The only reason why you think that is unreasonable is because you haven't reached that level yet and can't understand it."
Tian Zi said.
"Regardless of whether it's a painting or a real painting, since I'm here, I should at least go in and take a look."
Su Lie's eyes were fixed on the palace above the Jade Lake.
No matter how one looked at it, this place wasn't simple. It didn't seem like a place an ordinary person could live in. It was possible that one could find information on this place within the palace, and it was also possible that there were hidden treasures.
"Is there anyone living here?"
Su Lie thought in his heart.
If there were people living here, he could ask them directly. It would be even simpler, but it would also make him worried about his master's temperament.
The person who could live here was definitely not an omnipotent being. If his temperament was evil and perverted, then he might be in big trouble.
"Is anyone there?"
Su Lie flew in the air. After a full ten minutes, he finally arrived in front of the palace.
The palace doors were wide open, but Su Lie did not recklessly charge in.
This place was truly strange. It made his mind collapse, and he had to be even more careful when doing things.
"Is there anyone inside?"
Su Lie shouted towards the hall once again.
However, it was still dead silent inside the palace, without the slightest bit of shock.
After waiting for four to five minutes and seeing that there was still no response from inside the hall, Su Lie lightly breathed in and walked towards the palace.
The palace was incomparably wide, and it seemed to be many times larger than what could be seen from the outside. The palace was completely silent, and only the sound of his footsteps reverberated throughout the spacious hall.
Inside the palace, there were many screens, and on each of them, there was a perfect painting that shocked the world.
At the front, there was a screen that was the tallest, over fifteen meters tall and over fifteen meters wide. On the screen, there was a picture of a handsome young man in a white robe, barefooted and wearing a wide robe.
Su Lie walked forward and stood in front of the screen. He looked up at the screen as if he was looking at a great deity.
Suddenly, a beam of light flowed on the screen, and the figure on the screen seemed to have come to life.
A light breeze blew, the pine needles swayed gently, the clothes of the person in the painting fluttered, and the sun rose on the horizon, as if they were trying their best to break free from the shackles of the horizon.
"This …"
Su Lie's eyes couldn't help but widen and he couldn't help but retreat, but he saw the corners of the person's lips curled up as a hint of a smile appeared on his face.
Just when Su Lie was bewildered and thought that he was hallucinating, he saw the person in the painting turn his head slightly. The divine light in his eyes was reserved and his breath was calm. He gave off a free and easy feeling, but also gave off a terrifying aura.
"Kid, it can be considered fate that you were able to enter the Jade Lake Painting Realm and arrive here."
The person in the painting looked at Su Lie. It was as if he was looking at him and thinking.
"Before I left, I told Little Bi that I would only accept female disciples. I don't know why it would bring you in, but since it has come, let's give it a try."
"As long as you can pass through the screen maze, you will receive the inheritance that I left here."
The person in the painting spoke at a steady pace, as if he was really capable of thinking. Su Lie couldn't help but be stunned.
"How do I get out?"
Su Lie saw that the light on the screen had gradually dimmed down, and hurriedly asked.
"After obtaining my inheritance, the Jade Lake Painting Realm will belong to you, so of course you can leave. If you can't, the Painting Realm will send you away in three days, but it's just a random teleportation. If you can, you can leave now."
The person in the painting laughed, but gradually froze within the screen. Everything within the screen instantly froze.
"Jade Lake Painting Realm!"
"Looks like this painting was really drawn."
Su Lie's eyes swept across his surroundings, his eyes filled with dense shock.
"There's nothing to be surprised about. Have you forgotten about your Qiankun Pen? Don't you all have the ability to draw demonic beasts?"
Tian Zi laughed.
Su Lie pondered for a moment and couldn't help but nod his head. Perhaps reaching a certain level of cultivation was indeed possible, but he still felt that it was inconceivable.
"Could the inheritance he left behind be like this?"
A light flashed through Su Lie's eyes as he suddenly thought of something.
Once he thought of this, his heart began to pound, and he was unable to stop.
He had obtained Qiankun Pen for a very long time, and he had always felt that the Qiankun Pen was extremely ordinary. But up to the point where they met eyes to the moment, he had only figured out a single use of the Qiankun Pen, and drew beasts with beast blood on the animal skin.
With the Qiankun Pen in his hands, he had more of it used as a heavy weapon. He had even considered cultivating a hammer or rod type martial art.
"If he stayed here, and inherited the legacy of the Painting Realm, wouldn't the Qiankun Pen have a better use?"
Su Lie's heart became excited.
In the painting realm of the Jade Lake, everything was related to painting, and the chances of inheriting that legacy were extremely high.
"I'll give it a try!"
Su Lie suppressed the excitement in his heart and his eyes fell on the screen entrance.
The screens were arranged in an extremely messy manner.
On each of the screens, there were paintings of mountains, rivers, trees, flowers, birds, fish and insects.
"This should be very simple?"
Su Lie's eyes swept across the screens. He couldn't help but frown.
A maze would usually repeat the same scene over and over again, making it easier for one to get lost. However, every painting on the screen was different, wasn't this the most obvious sign?
The methods of the person in the painting were so extraordinary, Su Lie did not believe that the test he had set would be so simple.
Some of the more dangerous situations were often hidden behind simple, dangerous areas, which were called traps.
"Are you stupid? Why are you still walking? Go straight ahead."
Tian Zi shouted in Su Lie's mind.
Su Lie looked up and couldn't help but be moved by this.
Although there were many screens, and they were even larger, they were no different from ordinary screens. They were extremely thin, and should be able to be easily pushed down.
If it was really feasible, he could just push through the maze all the way. There was no need to spend any more time and effort to find the way out of the maze.
"It shouldn't be that simple, but it won't hurt to try!"
Su Lie thought in his heart as he extended his hand towards the screen in front of him.
The screen was made of wood, with a black tiger painted on a piece of brocade in the middle.
He put his palm on the screen and pushed gently.
"Swish …"
On the screen, a flash of green lightning suddenly shot out. Like a thin whip, it whipped towards Su Lie.
Su Lie's face changed and he quickly retreated.
"Swoosh!"
The green lightning swept across his chest and narrowly avoided it.
"This is wood lightning. It isn't very powerful. You can completely withstand it."
Tian Zi reminded.
"You're not lying to me, are you?"
Su Lie looked at the green lightning and his heart was pounding. If he wasn't able to withstand it, then the feeling would definitely not be pleasant.
"Believe it or not!"
Tian Zi had a very high attitude, she didn't want to explain.
"Then, I'll give it another try!"
Su Lie focused his mind and the light in his eyes condensed. The Yuan Power in his body slowly started to surge as it gathered in his hands.
With a stomp of his feet, Su Lie's body suddenly rushed forward and both of his palms struck out.
With his current cultivation, not to mention a screen made of wood and brocade, he could even shatter it with one palm.
"Bam!"
The tyrannical force slammed onto the screen, but the screen remained motionless, as if it was harder than steel.
A ray of wooden lightning struck his arm and instantly spread throughout his body.
Su Lie's entire body trembled, and a feeling of numbness spread throughout his body. However, it was indeed not very strong. With his eighth level of the metal stone body, he could completely withstand it and was unable to harm his skin.
At that moment, the space in front of the screen suddenly became blurry, and everything in front of his eyes became blurry.
"Roar …"
An angry beast's roar suddenly sounded, causing Su Lie's heart to abruptly tighten. He hurriedly lifted his head and scanned his surroundings.
Not ten zhang away from him, there was a black tiger that was staring at him with a pair of eyes that glowed with a yellow light. It was ice-cold and emotionless.
The black tiger was more than ten feet tall and ten feet long. It had a long tail hanging behind it like a pitch-black iron rod. It emitted a fierce aura and its body was overflowing with killing intent.
"Isn't this the black tiger drawn on the screen?"
The corners of Su Lie's eyes twitched.
Ever since he entered the painting realm of the Jade Lake, he could barely tell that those were real and those were illusory.
The black tiger let out an angry roar and pounced forward. Its pitch-black tiger claws released sharp claws as it swiped downwards from a high vantage point.
Su Lie didn't have enough time to think. Grabbing onto the Qiankun Pen, he tightly clenched his fists, and after accumulating all his strength, he smashed towards the tiger claw that was slapping downwards.
"Bam!"
A ripple suddenly spread apart in the air.
Su Lie's arm trembled and his body instantly bounced off.
His arm went numb, and his blood surged.
This tiger's power was extremely terrifying, it was not one bit weaker than Qiu Nu.
"It's all because of your rotten idea, you've caused me so much trouble this time."
Su Lie stared at the black tiger and complained to Tian Zi in his mind.
"This Black Tiger isn't too strong. We can kill it with just a little effort."
Tian Zi said slowly as she laid in the middle of the ancient cauldron.
Su Lie was annoyed in his heart, but he had no other choice. Besides, the most important thing was to deal with the Black Tiger in front of him.
His consciousness moved, as he started to activate the Triple Mountain Fragment. But immediately afterwards, he discovered that in this space, there was no spiritual energy at all, and there seemed to be some restrictions that prevented the Triple Mountain Fragment from being used. The elemental energy he released merely flashed in the air for a moment, then disappeared.
"They can only fight head on?"
Su Lie could not help but frown.
