Su Lie was pleasantly surprised and puzzled.
Although he did not get the inheritance he wanted, the inheritance of the Dragon and Elephant Tyrant Body Technique was more beneficial to him.
However, the Jade Lake Painting Realm clearly had something to do with painters, so why did it have nothing to do with inheritances?
"Kid, I don't have much time left. Do you have any doubts?"
The person in the picture sat on the throne, and looked at Su Lie as he spoke slowly.
He had been cultivating in the Dragon and Elephant Tyrant Body Technique for a long time. Originally, he had had many doubts but after obtaining the inheritance, all of them suddenly became clear and no longer existed.
"What level of cultivation technique is the Dragon and Elephant Tyrant Body Technique exactly?"
Su Lie asked.
This had always been a doubt in his heart after he had obtained the Great Desolation Formula and the Dragon and Elephant Tyrant Body Technique. Even Tian Zi was not certain just what level of cultivation methods he had.
Su Lie had a faint feeling that they were all cultivation techniques of the same level. He had yet to fully unleash the terrifying aspects of the cultivation technique.
"Kid, your cultivation is still very low, so knowing this isn't good for you."
The white robed man laughed, and then continued, "Since you want to know, then let me tell you, this Dragon and Elephant Tyrant Body Technique is an Emperor Grade technique."
"How can it only be an Earth Stage?"
The pronunciation of 'Emperor' and 'Earth' resembled each other too much. Su Lie was disappointed that he could not differentiate between the two.
He had seen many Earth Rank cultivation techniques in the Hanhai Pavilion. None of them were able to reach the Dragon and Elephant Tyrant Body Technique.
The white-robed man laughed in surprise and said, "It's the Emperor Stage. It means that it's a cultivation technique cultivated by the Emperor."
"Emperor Stage?"
Su Lie was puzzled again.
He knew that cultivation techniques were divided into Human Stage, Earth Stage and Heaven Stage, but he had never heard of Emperor Stage cultivation techniques.
"Stronger than the Heaven Stage?"
Su Lie probed.
"He's become more than ten times stronger."
The man laughed and then said, "It seems that you don't have anything that you don't understand. Then I won't waste any time."
"One day, if you can become a Martial Saint, you can come to the Dragon Elephant Empire and join my Dragon Elephant Heavenly Palace."
"Whew ~"
Just as the white-robed man finished speaking, there was a ripple on the portrait. In an instant, countless lights surged out like a fire that was slowly dissipating.
Become a Zhizun realm expert?
Su Lie stared at the portrait that was gradually dissipating in shock.
After entering the Inner Sect, he gained a better understanding of the path of cultivation. He also had a better understanding of the several great realms of cultivation.
Right now, he was still at the Earth Origin Stage. Above the Earth Essence was the Showing Wand, above the Shining Wind was the Yuan Sect, and above the Yuan Sect was the Zhi Zun.
His current cultivation base was still two whole great realms away from it!
That was not as simple as just two small realms. The gap between two great realms made the path of cultivation even more difficult the further one went. The difference between two great realms was something that many people might not be able to cross in their entire lives.
According to the records of the Inner Sect, the strongest ancestor of the Tianyuan Sect was only at the Yuan Sect realm.
As long as one reached the level of the Yuan Sect, one would be able to be called a grandmaster for a generation and would have the qualifications to establish a sect.
Just what kind of place was the Dragon Elephant Empire? Just the entrance would require the cultivation of a Martial Saint.
"How do I get out?"
Su Lie suddenly thought of something and raised his head as he shouted.
However, there was nothing left on the platform, and there was no response from the room.
Su Lie couldn't help but become anxious. Three days had passed, and the painting of the Jade Lake didn't send him out. Moreover, the person in the painting had said that as long as he obtained the inheritance, the painting of the Jade Lake would belong to him.
Su Lie was a little regretful that he had wasted too much time earlier and did not ask further.
"Are you an idiot? You can understand the situation with a single glance, yet you still can't think of such a thing?"
Tian Zi lay in the ancient cauldron, shaking his head.
Su Lie was stunned for a moment. Then, he raised his head and his eyes fell on the huge painting behind the high platform.
The painting was four to five Zhang long and ten Zhang wide.
Su Lie climbed onto the high platform and extended his hand to touch the giant painting. He could faintly feel the faint fluctuations coming from the painting. He attempted to channel his Yuan Power into it and a look of joy instantly surged out from his face.
He could refine it!
This huge painting was also empty, and should be the core to controlling the painting's realm of the Jade Lake.
He took off the painting and rolled it up. The light on the painting wiggled and gradually shrank to the size of a foot.
Su Lie then sat down cross-legged in the room and began imprinting his spirit and spirit energy into the painting.
"What rank treasure is this?"
Su Lie had only just started exclaiming in his heart.
His spirit energy and mind energy permeated through the enormous drawing with incomparable difficulty. The path of the spirit energy in the drawing was profound and complex. Just refining it made Su Lie feel extremely fatigued.
He had refined the Jiumai Peak's protective formation token before, so even though the identity token for Inner Sect disciples were all Earth-ranked items, it wasn't this difficult for him.
There was only one reason, and that was that the grade of the painting was too high.
Fortunately, although it was extremely difficult, Chu Feng was able to barely refine it to the point where he was completely helpless. However, its speed was truly too slow. Even the speed of a tortoise was insufficient to describe its speed.
"How long will it take to refine it?"
Su Lie's heart twitched.
It would take a long time, but Su Lie had no other choice but to obediently refine it.
If he couldn't refine it, then he would be stuck in this place for the rest of his life. Moreover, he had already been out for over a month.
Yuan Power and Mental Energy slowly seeped in at an extremely slow speed. However, as Su Lie refined it, a faint glow was gradually emitted from the huge picture and circulated around the scroll.
One day!
Two days!
"..." Days passed and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed. Su Lie was still sitting there cross-legged and had not moved in the slightest.
The light on the scroll gradually spread out. One could vaguely see that there was only a little bit left, and no light could occupy it.
Su Lie was about to succeed.
Half a day later, the dazzling light on the scroll suddenly exploded.
It illuminated the entire room.
"I've finally succeeded!"
Su Lie, who had been sitting with his eyes closed all this time, lightly exhaled. His face had a deep look of exhaustion.
In this half a month, he had been constantly refining the painting. Even though he was already at the sixth stage of the Earth Origin Stage, he would not be able to hold on any longer.
His brows twitched as if he was about to get up. However, in the blink of an eye, he became quiet again, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face.
"What's that?"
At the end of the scroll, Su Lie saw a few crisscrossing rays of light. They were only a few simple lines, but they emitted a mysterious aura.
When his elemental energy and spiritual force came into close proximity, they were all repelled with a single bounce, unable to be refined.
Those few rays of light were like a seal, like a unique mark left behind by the painter.
But Su Lie felt that it was not that simple.
He carefully probed the surroundings a few times, but he was still unable to find any clues, so he could only helplessly give up.
Time was running out, he had to hurry back to the sect.
He opened his eyes and looked at the picture scroll in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face. Although he had taken a long time to refine it, once he completely refined the Jade Lake Painting Realm, the effect it had on the Jade Lake Painting Realm made him understand that it was all worth it.
It could be used to trap the enemy and draw them into the Jade Lake Painting. As long as the opponent's cultivation level was not higher than his own, he would not be able to escape. It could also be used to escape for his life … The Jade Lake Painting Realm was definitely a treasure beyond the Earth Realm.
"Get out!"
Su Lie waved his hand and the picture scroll in his hand was unfurled. It once again hung onto the wall. It was the crux of the painting realm and could not be moved carelessly. But now, Su Lie could control it with ease.
Within the desolate mountain forest, the air suddenly wiggled. After which, a human figure drilled out from the space a few dozen feet above. It was Su Lie.
With a wave of his arm, something strange happened.
A layer of space seemed to have been torn open as it rapidly curled up. Light flashed, and within a few breaths, it had turned into a scroll. It was exquisite and clean, and it seemed to faintly exude an aroma.
"Time to go back!"
He looked at the scroll and put it away. Then, he turned around and flew off into the distance.
In the air, he moved as he pleased.
He had been training arduously in the flying technique, and was not too far away from reaching the second level.
Once he succeeded in his training, he would be able to fly even without using elemental energy.
When he flew over a mountain peak, his eyes inadvertently scanned the area. His body could not help but slow down as he dived downwards.
On the ground, there were a few deep pits. At the bottom of the pits, there were patches of purplish black blood stains that emitted a terrible stench.
"He actually ran away?"
Su Lie's eyes swept across his surroundings and he could not help but shake his head.
At that time, four of the five black-clothed men attacked him here, and he recognized Tang Ying. He had plundered all the treasures on his body and crippled his cultivation, but it was also at that time that he was swallowed by the Jade Snake and brought to the painting realm of the Jade Lake.
Other than the people who had already turned into four lumps of meat paste, Su Lie did not see any other bloodstains. Tang Ying had probably escaped.
However, since Tang Ying's cultivation base was crippled, she must have been frightened by the huge snake. The four people didn't even touch their belongings and directly escaped.
Su Lie jumped down from the deep pit, held his nose and searched all four of their Cosmic Bag.
After so long, the four men's flesh began to rot and stink.
Su Lie took off the tattered robes of the Inner Sect disciples and changed them into a new set of clothes. Then, he used that tattered robe to wrap up the Cosmic Bag of the four of them and held it in his hands, preparing to find a place to wash and then put it away.
Once again making his move, Su Lie flew in the air and began inspecting the treasures he had obtained from Tang Ying's body.
He had just gotten his hands on those items when the giant snake brought him to the painting of the Jade Lake. He had not had the time to check them out until now.
"I hope he didn't lie to me?"
Su Lie said in his heart.
