There was naturally no such thing as absolute fairness in this world.
Every living being had its own unique form. In a specific environment, it would naturally gain an advantage. For example, a fish could swim freely in the water, but it would die on land.
Clearly, his human form did not have an advantage in the Immortal Painting.
Now that he had no choice, Luo Zheng could only use "Crab Steps" to make do.
From the outside, the Immortal Painting looked like a single page, but in fact, the Immortal Painting had three pages.
And be it the first, second, or third page, they were not as blank as they looked. There were still quite a number of "curly beasts" on them.
There were many different theories regarding the origin of the curly beasts. Some said that the curly beasts were actually some kind of living being in the Xuanliang world, but they were naturally suited to live in the Immortal Painting. There were also some who said that the curly beasts were created by the Instant civilization.
However, they were all guesses.
Not long after Luo Zheng entered the Immortal Painting, he encountered a curly beast.
The curly beast looked similar to the silhouette of a Nirvana life form. It was not big and looked like a wolf cub that did not even reach his knees.
When Luo Zheng saw the curly beast, it had already pounced at him.
Whether it was the other Nirvana Realm creatures or Luo Zheng himself, there was still a certain limit to their movements in the immortal painting scroll. It was as if they were really embedded in the painting and the movements they could make were very limited. However, this beast in the scroll was much more flexible.
However, the curly beast was very agile.
Seeing the curly beast pounce at him, Luo Zheng chose to counterattack.
The battle process was more boring and simple than Luo Zheng imagined.
The moment the curly beast approached, Luo Zheng's arm grabbed it from top to bottom. Although it felt awkward, he still accurately held the curly beast in his hand. At the same time, his other hand turned and tore. The black curly beast was torn apart.
It was torn in half.
The entire process was silent. It was as though continuous images were presented in front of Luo Zheng's eyes.
The torn curly beast turned into wisps of black smoke and rapidly gathered towards Luo Zheng's body, completely fusing with his body.
When the smoke entered Luo Zheng's body, Luo Zheng's whole body trembled violently.
At the same time, this wisp of black smoke shot out from the Immortal Picture Scroll. It descended from the sky and shot straight into Luo Zheng's Three Clarities Stone.
The complicated patterns on the surface of the Three Clarities Stone were smeared with black.
"Senior Heavenly Primogenitor, how many beasts do we have to kill to get to the second page?" Luo Zheng asked.
There was a requirement to go from the first page to the second page, and that was to absorb enough curly beasts.
"No," the Heavenly Lord of the Origin said, "The Curly Beasts on the first page are not very strong, so you won't be given too much black smoke. If you only kill Curly Beasts of this size, you will need about four to five thousand …"
Every time the Immortal Scroll was opened, the number of beasts in the scroll was limited.
The reason why those Nirvana Realm beings were in a hurry was because they wanted to kill as many rolling beasts as possible in the shortest amount of time.
"So many …"
Luo Zheng felt somewhat helpless.
It was not difficult to kill Curly Beasts, but the number of Curly Beasts in the Immortal Scroll seemed to be too little.
If the number of Curly Beasts killed was not enough, one would not be able to enter the second page. When the Immortal Picture Scroll was closed, those who could not enter the second page would naturally be expelled. That would be considered a failure …
The price of failure in the Immortal Picture Scroll was not high. After leaving the Immortal Picture Scroll, the "heavy stone" would be wasted.
However, it was not difficult for even the Taiyi Heavenly Palace to get a few heavy stones, let alone these Nirvana Realm beings.
Therefore, almost all the Nirvana Realm beings who had achieved the Divine Soul Realm and the Body of Innumerable Tribulations would enter the Immortal Picture Scroll. This intensified the competition in the Immortal Picture Scroll.
However, the Immortal Picture Scroll was not a safe place. Every time the Immortal Picture Scroll was opened, many people died in it.
Some were killed by the Curly Beasts, but more of them killed each other.
After killing the Curly Beast, Luo Zheng ran rampant in the Immortal Picture Scroll again.
Due to the limitation of his vision, he could not even determine his own position. He only moved in one direction.
However, Luo Zheng's luck was really bad. The Curly Beasts he met along the way were sparse, and most of them were very thin and small.
In the spirit of "even mosquito legs are meat", Luo Zheng naturally did not let any of them go.
In more than two hours, Luo Zheng only met eight Curly Beasts. Among them, a snake-shaped Curly Beast escaped directly. Luo Zheng chased after it for a long time but could not catch up. He could only choose to give up.
…
On the bronze ground, many Nirvana Realm beings stared at the Three-Clarities Stone on the ground.
After the Immortal Picture Scroll was opened, it showed the silhouettes of the strong men in the Immortal Realm. That was the picture on the third page. Luo Zheng and others were still on the first page, so their every move could not be observed.
However, every time the Nirvana Realm beings killed a Curly Beast, a black ink stain would descend from the picture scroll and smear on the Three-Clarities Stone.
Every time the bronze ground refreshed, by observing the Three-Clarities Stone, they could see the person's progress in the Immortal Picture Scroll.
Most of the Nirvana Realm beings only cared about the Three-Clarities Stone of their own people. However, this time, many Nirvana Realm beings intentionally or unintentionally looked at Luo Zheng, whether it was the Nirvana Realm beings who submitted to Genryū or the neutral Three-Eyed Race.
The Nirvana Realm beings were all silently observing.
Logically speaking, a person who could be roped in by Tongtian and Huo should have a stunning performance in the Immortal Picture Scroll. At least, it should not be difficult for him to reach the Immortal Realm in one go.
However, after more than two hours, the number of ink stains on Luo Zheng's Three-Clarities Stone could be counted with one's fingers.
"That human kid seems to have no ability."
"More than two hours to kill Curly Beasts in single digits?"
"If this continues, he will be eliminated soon …"
Although those voices were deliberately lowered, Gan Gaohan, Ning Xuyuan, and others could still hear them clearly.
"What is Luo Zheng doing?" Gan Gaohan asked.
Ning Xuyuan shook his head. "Maybe he's just unlucky. I heard that those Curly Beasts appear randomly."
The people of the Heavenly Palace present were only in the Saint Soul Realm. None of them could enter the Immortal Picture Scroll, so naturally, they could not say anything.
"Hiss hiss hiss …"
At this moment, wisps of black smoke continuously drilled out of the Immortal Picture Scroll and rapidly descended toward them.
When Gan Gaohan and others saw these ink stains, their eyes lit up. "He's here?"
Ning Xuyuan also revealed a trace of a smile. When had Luo Zheng ever disappointed them?
However, as the black ink continued to descend, it actually drilled into a Three-Clarities Stone at the side. This Three-Clarities Stone belonged to the Purple Cloud Race's Wudang.
