After Xiao Chen left, the Dragon Horse and the black-clad old man walked over from the hall.
The middle-aged man said to the Dragon Horse, "Big Brother Dragon."
The Dragon Horse nodded like a human and said, "How did it go? How did your performance go? What reward did you choose?"
The middle-aged man answered honestly, "He passed with full marks, using less than one hour. He chose the replica of the Blue Dragon Divine Wings."
"He passed with full marks. He is even more incredible than the Qing Emperor back then!"
The black-clad old man revealed a strange expression, clearly in disbelief and shock.
The Dragon Horse said rudely, "I said long ago that I think highly of him. He took a different path from the Qing Emperor. Back then, the Qing Emperor wanted to enter the Dao with the Demonic Dao, but he already went astray. Most importantly, he is still young. His future is limitless. "
The black-clad old man remained silent. He could not rebut this, nor could he.
Entering the Dao with the Demonic Dao was indeed a direction. The Great Dao was one. No matter what path was taken, it would all lead to the same destination in the end.
However, the Qing Emperor's path was too extreme. In the end, he failed. There was nothing much to say, nor was there a need to say anything more.
"He chose the replica of the Blue Dragon Divine Wings. Given his intelligence, it is not hard for him to guess that those secret manuals are more precious. It looks like while he does not know what is happening outside, he has a vague premonition. "
The Dragon's Gate's astute old Daoist priest figured out Xiao Chen's thoughts.
After entering the second stage and opening the door, Xiao Chen discovered that the scene before him kept changing. At one moment, it was a desert, then a vast ocean, then a glacier, then a sea of fire.
Xiao Chen had already opened his Heavenly Eye long ago. However, he still felt that he could not see clearly enough, unable to figure out what was going on.
Amid this constantly changing scene, a girl in her prime walked out. There was also a barely detectable golden light in the depths of her eyes.
"Greetings, Senior," Xiao Chen said respectfully with a slight bow.
The girl in her prime nodded. "This stage is a test of vision. From the moment you entered, a total of nine different scenes appeared. I want you to draw them all in one painting."
This …
Xiao Chen felt somewhat stunned. No wonder the middle-aged man in front told him to open his Heavenly Eye the moment he entered.
Fortunately, he did as he was told. However, he had never learned how to draw.
"Do you still need to learn the tricks of painting for a warrior of your strength? This stage tests your eyesight, not your drawing skills. Just draw whatever you see. "
The young woman was far less amiable than the middle-aged man. She didn't bother to hide her emotions. After handing over the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone to Xiao Chen, she walked to the side and didn't say anything.
Xiao Chen smiled helplessly. He rolled up his sleeves, picked up the brush, and began to ponder.
He still had some "drawing skills". After all, he was also a person who drew talismans a long time ago. The way he held the brush was quite decent. His white robes fluttered in the wind, giving him an air of elegance.
How to draw?
From the beginning till now, it had only been a minute, but a total of nine scenes had appeared: barren mountain, desert, glacier, swamp, city, small courtyard, battlefield, ocean, lake, etc.
It was impossible for him to draw them all.
Eyesight …
Just as Xiao Chen was at his wits' end, he suddenly remembered the purpose of this stage. Then, he revealed a faint smile.
It turned out that this stage was not just a test of eyesight but also of flexibility.
What was eyesight? It could be summed up in eight words: perceptive, meticulous, and perceptive.
As long as this painting could depict the nine environments and embody these eight words, it would be enough. If he wanted to draw all nine scenes, who knew how long he would have to wait?
The first scene was a barren mountain. Xiao Chen remembered an unremarkable blade of grass in a crack at the peak of the barren mountain, so he drew it.
There was an indistinct black dot in the extreme distance of the glacier. It looked like a cultivator carrying a sword on his back.
The ocean was vast, stretching as far as the eye could see. However, Xiao Chen remembered that the scene in that illusion left the deepest impression on him was a wave.
The wave surged, hiding a ferocious sea beast. It seemed to merge with the wave, making it hard to distinguish.
On the battlefield, two armies faced each other. More than ten thousand cultivators fought. There were countless Martial Techniques. However, Xiao Chen saw them all.
…
In less than fifteen minutes, Xiao Chen stopped writing. Then, he smiled at the young woman and said, "I'm done."
"So fast?"
The young woman clearly did not believe him. She said coldly, "Have you thought it through? There is no time limit for this stage. However, you only have one chance."
Xiao Chen said confidently, "I have thought it through. Senior, please take a look."
The young woman gave Xiao Chen a deep look. Then, she walked over quickly. When she saw the painting clearly, her lips curled up, revealing a mocking expression on her pretty face.
"What did you draw? Although I am not very strict, there is no need to do this even if you want to brush me off."
In the painting, fallen leaves fell. A handsome swordsman with a blade of grass in his mouth executed a Sword Technique and killed a ferocious beast.
Xiao Chen did not panic. He said warmly, "Senior, please take a closer look."
The young woman looked suspiciously at Xiao Chen. She did not understand why he was so confident. However, when she looked at the painting again, she was suddenly stunned.
The more he delved into it, the more shocked he became.
"How did you do it?" the young woman asked seriously as she put down the painting.
Needless to say, Xiao Chen naturally passed the test of this stage, meeting the requirements.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "I did it just like that. Senior, I finally passed."
"You passed with full marks. The reward for this stage is three Eye Technique secret manuals and a bottle of Superior Purity Immortal Water, a spiritual liquid that improves Eye Techniques. Which one do you choose?"
Xiao Chen did not hesitate. He said seriously, "Superior Purity Immortal Water."
"Have you thought it through? Even without the spiritual liquid, your Eye Technique will make a breakthrough. Furthermore, once you give up on the Eye Technique secret manuals, it will be extremely difficult to obtain them again. "
"Thank you for Senior's kind intentions. This junior has thought it through."
"Here."
The young woman handed a jade bottle to Xiao Chen. Naturally, this bottle contained the Superior Purity Immortal Water.
Xiao Chen held it in his hand and entered deep thought. Then, he took out another jade bottle and split the Superior Purity Immortal Water in half.
This way, the effects would not be optimal. However, it could improve his two Eye Techniques, the Heavenly Eye and the Divine Lightning Eye.
These two Eye Techniques had reached a critical juncture. Relying on the Superior Purity Immortal Water to make a breakthrough was the best choice.
There was no need to elaborate on the process of consuming the Divine Lightning Eye. After the Divine Lightning Eye was refined, Xiao Chen's Divine Lightning Eye stabilized at the third layer.
It was no longer like before, where he could barely use it. Now, he could easily layer on three bolts of Divine Lightning and severely injure a Prime.
The Heavenly Eye officially entered the next level, reaching the point where it could fly and tunnel through the ground.
With just a thought, the Heavenly Eye could leave his body. It could hover in the nine heavens or sink into the deep abyss in the ground.
"Many thanks, Senior."
Xiao Chen tested out the two advanced Eye Techniques. Then, he bowed slightly and took his leave. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
Not long after Xiao Chen left, the black-clad old man, the middle-aged man, and the Dragon Horse all rushed over excitedly.
"How did this fellow clear the stages so quickly? Let me take a look at his painting."
The Dragon Horse felt suspicious. When it saw Xiao Chen's painting, it became even more confused.
The black-clad old man and the middle-aged man also goggled at each other, unable to understand.
However, the Dragon Horse's intuition told it that the painting was not simple. It looked at the young woman and said, "Hong Yi, change the nine illusions from earlier."
"Alright, Big Brother Dragon."
The young woman did as instructed. After carefully looking at the painting, the Dragon Horse, the black-clad old man, and the middle-aged man's eyes lit up when they looked at the painting again.
"Seeing through the finest details, meticulous. This little fellow's eyes are indeed extraordinary. The most unremarkable grass in the crack of a rock at the summit of a desolate mountain. He could make out a swordsman with such an appearance just by looking at a dot on the glacier. Fighting on the battlefield, seeing a person's appearance among millions of people, and having a photographic memory for his Martial Techniques … "
An expression of admiration flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes as he muttered to himself, describing the wonders of the painting.
The young woman looked at the painting and said, "What's even rarer is that he merged all these into one painting. Furthermore, it looks very natural. This kind of inference, as well as his excellent comprehension ability and adaptability, is the most terrifying. "
"The next stage is fear, right?"
The old Dragon Horse suddenly said. The three showed stunned expressions and fell silent at the same time.
Fear. Over the past millions of years, many Dragon Race outstanding talents had fallen at this stage. This stage was not limited to the Blue Dragon Palace. The inheritance palaces of the other Divine Dragons had similar stages as well.
How many talented, peerless geniuses had fallen at this stage? Too many to count.
The final successor of the Blue Dragon bloodline had such an eye-catching performance. Could he clear this stage?
