Lin Dong used a flying sword, but he wasn't a sword cultivator.
In fact, he could only be considered a loose cultivator in the cultivation world.
He learned a little bit of everything, but he wasn't proficient in any of them, and he didn't focus on any of them to the end. Lin Dong didn't even have the recognition of any sect, nor did he have any teachers to guide him in his cultivation. He relied completely on himself, and occasionally met fellow daoists or seniors who were willing to exchange pointers. For cultivators who were more familiar with Lin Dong like the Martial Madman, it was simply unbelievable that he could cultivate in such a situation.
Of course, the price of doing so was the destruction of the foundation. Only a few small houses were built on the ground, which could have been used to build a tall building.
Until Piaomiao Fairy hit him with her palm.
Everything was destroyed.
He started to cultivate the Star River Nine Heavens Technique again.
Lin Dong officially became Piaomiao Fairy's fellow sect member or disciple from a loose cultivator.
He didn't know what this sect or sect was called, nor did he know who to call his master. He didn't even know what kind of cultivator he was. But one thing was undeniable, and that was that he finally found an organization!
From now on, he was no longer a lonely and pitiful loose cultivator that no one cared about.
After being baptized by sword qi and sublimated by the light pillar.
Lin Dong gained another recognition and identity.
That was, the will left behind by the Dragon Slayer Taoist had also recognized this little fellow as his disciple or descendant … If he had had this kind of opportunity back then, Lin Dong, who was like a rootless duckweed in the cultivation world, would not have wandered around and desperately struggled to survive. Even if the master was no longer around and the sect declined, as long as the disciple's origin was not unknown, as long as someone recognized him, he or she would receive help from many other cultivators. That was especially true for some cultivators who were good at cultivation. They would be willing to take care of newcomers with potential and hope.
"It feels so good to have someone behind me!" Lin Dong was very emotional.
As the saying goes, if one's name isn't legitimate, one's words aren't justified.
A loose cultivator, and a rookie whose foundation was completely destroyed, had received a lot of disdain in the cultivation world back then.
So what if I bully you? You're a weakling without a master, so what if I beat you or scold you? Could it be that someone would come and stand up for you?
If he had been recognized by the Dragon Slayer Taoist back then, even if he was still a rookie and knew nothing about cultivation, he might have already become an elite disciple of a famous sect after transmigrating to the cultivation world. There would have been an elder or a Venerable personally teaching and guiding him.
"Stop sighing. Isn't it enough to know that you have someone backing you up?" Yun You You understood Lin Dong, but she couldn't stand his smug look.
"Haha, it's good to have someone to back me up!" Lin Dong was in an exceptionally good mood these days.
Lin Dong did not say it out of coincidence.
There was a reason why he felt this way.
The reason was that the Endless Mountains and Seas Painting, which was said to have been created by the Lazy Immortal, could now be opened. Before the Dragon-slaying Taoist's will had acknowledged him, Lin Dong could not have touched it. Now that it had been baptized by the Sword Qi and sublimated by the pillar of light, Lin Dong discovered that not only could it be touched, even the power of the seal was just a test and did not have any evil intentions.
This was the importance of having a backer!
A sect without a master.
No identity.
Who cared about you?
Who would know who you were?
The acknowledgement of a sect or the inheritance of a senior was like a special identity card. Without it, it was useless to go anywhere in the cultivation world!
Thinking about it carefully, if he did not cultivate the Star River Nine Heavens Technique and did not have Piaomiao Fairy's Return Soul Seal and Guardian Star, the new Emperor of the Illusion Realm would not have traded with Lin Dong. No matter how much power of faith Lin Dong had, he could only slowly refine it himself. He could not exchange it for a Divine Illusion Gem, let alone an Illusionary Divine Pearl. What the entire Illusion race acknowledged wasn't Lin Dong, who possessed the power of faith but had no power to protect himself. Instead, it was Fairy Piaomiao's Guardian Star. Instead, it was the Returning Soul Imprint that she had branded into Lin Dong's soul!
Even the treasures obtained were the same, such as the Blood Soul Seal, the Demon Refining Pagoda, the Black Jade Gourd, and so on.
It seemed easy to make a contract.
But in the cultivation world, Lin Dong had encountered so many treasures, why couldn't he get his hands on them? Or did he have to worry that they would betray him at any time? The reason was that he used to be a rogue cultivator with no future. It would be incredible if a poor loser with no backer was not despised!
Beauty Ling Xiao was willing to be with Lin Dong because she was heartlessly abandoned by Fairy Tingmeng. In addition, time breeds affection, so she could be considered an exception.
Another example was the puppet sisters.
Why did Lin Dong immediately stop when he sensed the power of the stars after transforming into the silver giant?
It was because they thought that he might be the descendant of an old friend. Otherwise, with the proud character of the puppet sister, how could he make a contract? It would be merciful if he did not beat Lin Dong until his head bled and he ran away like a rat!
"Let's begin!" Yun You You gave Lin Dong a gentle hug, indicating that he could officially open the Endless Mountains and Seas Painting.
After a few days of rest.
Adjustments.
Lin Dong and Yun You You decided to try to break through in the world of nothingness today.
They wanted to see if they could pass the test set by the Lazy Immortal and enter the mysterious Mountain Sea Realm.
The Endless Mountains and Seas Painting floated in front of Lin Dong.
The Four Sacred Beasts were on the left and right.
The puppet sisters were also standing at the side, fully focused, ready to lend Lin Dong a hand at the right moment. They knew that the difficulty of opening the Endless Mountains and Seas Painting was much more difficult than that of the Demon-Subduing Pagoda. Fortunately, after Lin Dong obtained the Sword Qi Baptism Light Pillar and obtained the recognition of the Dragon Slayer Taoist, the seal inside no longer had any malicious killing intent. Even if he could not pass the test, he would only be rejected outside the door. There was no danger of a backlash.
"Open!" Lin Dong let out a deep roar.
The Star Array in his hand flickered.
He pressed it against the Endless Mountains and Seas Painting.
However, a layer of light flashed on the painting, pushing Lin Dong's Star Array upward, rejecting Lin Dong's will from entering.
When Yun You You saw this, she immediately stretched out her small white hand and superimposed it on the back of Lin Dong's palm. The golden lotus platform shone brilliantly under her slender feet. The four sacred beasts guarding the four sides also activated their holy power and injected it into Lin Dong's body.
However, Lin Dong's hand still could not move even a little bit.
The Lazy Immortal's cultivation realm had reached an unimaginable level. It was only the first test, but Lin Dong could not get close even though he had tried his best.
"This is not a test that can be passed with strength alone. Heart, you have to use your heart to communicate with it and gain its recognition! Give up on cracking it and use your heart to communicate with it! " The puppet sister was a bystander. Seeing that she could not move it at all with strength, she hurriedly signaled for Lin Dong to try to assimilate it with his heart.
Assimilating it with his heart would be a very dangerous act if it were another treasure's artifact spirit.
However, the Lazy Immortal's will had no malicious intent toward Lin Dong.
It was a clever move.
Lin Dong emptied his consciousness as he was told and allowed the Endless Mountains and Seas Painting's light waves to bounce back at him. He got rid of all distracting thoughts and turned his heart into an empty valley … Yun You You tacitly merged her heart with his. As for the four sacred beasts, they also merged their consciousnesses into it. In the end, even the puppet sisters were no exception. Slowly, the Endless Mountains and Seas Painting's light enveloped Lin Dong and Yun You You's bodies. It enveloped everything and merged everything …
Perhaps not more than a second had passed, or perhaps hundreds or thousands of years had passed. No one knew how much time had passed in that wonderful assimilation.
When Lin Dong and Yun You You opened their eyes …
A whole new world appeared in front of them.
The Endless Mountains and Seas Painting had been unfolded. It was only a small part of it, perhaps not even 1%, but it was already 10,000 meters long and 3,000 meters wide. The scene inside was like a lifelike small world. It was magnificent. Lin Dong wanted to fly in, but just as he thought about it, he immediately realized that there was still a huge light shield protecting it. He still couldn't get close. Unlike Lin Dong, the attentive Yun You You paid attention to the changes in the world of nothingness. When the Endless Mountains and Seas Painting automatically unfolded, the world of nothingness seemed to expand silently.
Yun You You had a feeling.
As for how much it had expanded, why did it expand together with the Endless Mountains and Seas Painting, and whether it could continue to expand in the future? These were not the questions that Yun You You could answer perfectly!
"The Endless Mountains and Seas Painting has tacitly allowed us to open it, but it seems that we still need to pass a test to enter!" The puppet sister indicated that Lin Dong could try to break through now.
"Again, open!" Lin Dong's big hand pressed on the unfolded Endless Mountains and Seas Painting for the second time.
The star formation instantly sank into the huge light shield.
It was like a drop of water falling into a lake.
Only a ripple was produced, and there was no other reaction.
Just as Lin Dong shook his head and was about to retreat in defeat, two items suddenly flew out of the light shield.
They came at an extremely fast speed.
One of them was a golden vermillion brush the size of a chopstick, and the other was a completely blank scroll about three feet long. Lin Dong reached out to take it, but unexpectedly, the golden vermillion brush grew in an instant and turned into a huge vermillion brush that was thousands of meters tall and as thick as a giant pillar that could hold up the sky. Lin Dong quickly transformed into a silver giant and reached out to take it. As soon as he touched it, he immediately felt that the golden vermillion brush was as heavy as Mount Tai.
The silver giant, the Four Sacred Beasts, Yun You You, and the puppet sisters helped him.
Lin Dong could barely hold the golden vermillion brush without falling.
It was impossible for him to use it to write on the blank scroll that had transformed into a 10,000-meter-long scroll!
"Looks like it's still too early for us to enter the Endless Mountains and Seas World with our skills!" Lin Dong tried more than a hundred times and found that he could not move the golden vermillion brush at all, let alone lift it to write. Now that he wanted to pass the Lazy Immortal's test, he had the will but not the strength. He had to go back and cultivate hard!
In the end, Lin Dong gave up on the challenge.
The golden vermillion brush quickly shrank into a pen the size of a chopstick and a scroll that was three feet long. It floated back into the light shield of the Endless Mountains and Seas Painting, dragging a golden stream of light behind it.
Meanwhile, Lin Dong's star formation also turned into a sky full of starlight and escaped from the light shield.
It returned to Lin Dong's body.
"The unfolding of the Endless Mountains and Seas Painting seems to be helpful to the birth of the world of nothingness. Why don't we let it continue unfolding like this?" the puppet sister suggested.
"Alright!" Lin Dong would not actually take back the Endless Mountains and Seas Painting. It was not a treasure that he had contracted. Previously, he had emptied his mind and opened it up in a muddled process. How could he take it back like this? Impossible, right? Besides, since it had already been unfolded, why would he put it away? Even if it did not help the birth of the world of nothingness, Lin Dong would still keep it like this until he could move the golden vermillion brush.
"So weak!" The puppet sister did not forget to complain to her master, Lin Dong, before she fell asleep.
She struck Lin Dong's vital point with one stab.
This made Lin Dong speechless for a long time.
Damn it, if I were strong enough, would I need to summon you guys to help me? How long has it been since I started cultivating? It's already very hard for me to make such progress. Not only did I not receive any praise, but I was also dealt such a blow. The damage index of this blow could reach 10,000%!
Yun You You patted Lin Dong's back with her little fist to comfort him.
She could not help.
She put away the golden lotus platform and went to cultivate.
The four sacred beasts fell asleep, leaving Lin Dong alone in the world of nothingness to think.
After an unknown period of time, just as Lin Dong was about to return to the house in the dark river to rest, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.
The Endless Mountains and Seas Painting was too advanced. The Lazy Immortal was a mighty figure and could not pass the test and enter. However, the Demon-Refining Pagoda could! Not to mention him, even Yun You You and Cheng Mingge could enter. Even Qianjun and Ye Qianru could go in and fight the weakest pawn if they improved a little. There were countless monsters and bosses in the Demon-Refining Pagoda, and each floor was stronger than the one before. Why not challenge the Demon-Refining Pagoda first and pass it before attacking the Endless Mountains and Seas Painting?
One should take one bite at a time.
He should focus on attacking the Demon-Refining Pagoda first!
At this thought, Lin Dong perked up again. At least he had experienced the test of the Endless Mountains and Seas Painting, right? He would definitely pass it in the future!
He took another look at the Endless Mountains and Seas Painting that was quietly unfolding in the world of nothingness. Then, he took out the Demon-Refining Pagoda from his storage ring. Even without everyone's help, Lin Dong was confident that he could challenge the monsters in the Demon-Refining Pagoda.
He was not sure about the top eight or nine floors, but the bottom one, two, three floors would definitely be no problem!
