In the Void God Realm, in a place where clouds and mist lingered, a group of mountains could be faintly seen.
The majestic mountain range was like a coiled dragon soaring through the clouds.
The mountain peak was like a blade, piercing through the sky, standing proudly.
This was where Fiendish Saber Xi Mu cultivated in seclusion in the Faux God World.
Whoosh!
An air-piercing sound rang out, and a figure shuttled through the clouds like a celestial being. His posture was agile and his temperament was extraordinary.
It was Lu Benwei, one of Fiendish Saber Xi Mu's nominal disciples.
At the peak of the mountain range, in the depths of the endless clouds and mist, there was a mountain peak that stood upside down. Countless vines wrapped around it, giving it an ancient and boundless feeling.
Lu Benwei flew all the way, and when he arrived, he slowly landed.
There were many ancient buildings on the inverted platform. Lu Benwei walked toward one of them.
His master, Fiendish Saber Xi Mu, was waiting for him.
"Strange, why did Master suddenly summon me here?"
Lu Benwei thought to himself, feeling a little puzzled. Generally speaking, his master rarely summoned him without saying anything.
If he had any instructions, he would definitely inform him in advance so that he could make preparations.
Lu Benwei felt some doubt when he saw Fiendish Saber Xi Mu. After bowing respectfully, he said, "Greetings, Master. I wonder, why did Master summon this disciple?"
Fiendish Saber Xi Mu had a head full of white hair, and wrinkles covered his old face. Only his eyes remained frighteningly sharp.
"It's nothing. Let me ask you, did Xiao Chen look for you?"
Lu Benwei was stunned when he heard this, but he still answered truthfully, "Master, Xiao Chen hasn't looked for me for more than a year. He hasn't contacted me at all."
Fiendish Saber Xi Mu could not help feeling stunned. He stroked his beard and muttered, "That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that he couldn't see through the mysteries of the painting? He didn't have any doubts at all. With his talent, he should be able to see the abnormality. "
Xi Mu did not think that Xiao Chen could comprehend the mysteries of the painting so quickly. However, he should be able to tell that the painting was extraordinary.
According to his conjecture, since he could see the abnormality but didn't know much about it, he should seek Lu Benwei's advice.
However, it had been more than a year since he had contacted Lu Benwei.
Xi Mu felt confused. Strange, did I make a mistake? He really couldn't see through the mysteries of the painting, couldn't he guess what kind of opportunity was contained in the painting?
If he had known about the inheritance represented by the fortuitous encounter in the painting, how could he not be tempted? If it were anyone else, he would have long sought out Lu Benwei.
After some thought, he felt that this was not a bad idea.
This means that this brat cannot compare to my younger self. It was just a coincidence that he defeated my statue in the Trial Tower.
With this thought, Fiendish Saber Xi Mu smiled and said, "Go and bring him over. Say that I want to meet him."
Lu Benwei could not help but ask in surprise, "Master, what are you doing?"
Fiendish Saber Xi Mu smiled and said, "This fellow is pretty good. I want to take him in as a nominal disciple and give him some pointers."
Lu Benwei was speechless. He didn't understand what his master's logic was, but since it was an order, he just had to follow it.
"Yes, this disciple will obey Master's orders!"
…
In the Holy Domain's Divine Capital, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged. He had been comprehending the Dao on the Ice Fire Lotus Platform for more than half a month.
In his eyes, the painting in front of him was no longer the same as what he had seen in the past.
Xiao Chen's vision was now focused on the lake in the painting, on the droplet of water falling from the air.
The droplet of water and the lake. One was insignificant, the other vast. One was nimble, and the other was calm.
The scene looked peaceful and peaceful, a droplet of water and a lake. In reality, there were surging undercurrents, clashing with one another.
In Xiao Chen's eyes, this droplet was like a powerful bladesman showing off his sharpness. It was a powerful bladesman with lofty ambitions, carrying the courage to die as it fell from the sky.
This droplet of water had lofty ambitions. This droplet of water wanted to challenge a lake.
"Pa!"
The scene continued to change. Xiao Chen felt like he was in the painting, seeing nothing but emptiness.
Rain was about to fall from the sky. Thunder rumbled, and thousands of droplets of water fell from the sky.
However, a droplet of water gathered in the sky, unmoved. It allowed the other droplets of water to come and go, leaving them to fate as they fell from the sky.
This droplet of water remained unmoved. This was a lonely droplet of water and also a proud droplet of water.
"Whoosh!"
The rainwater on the ground gathered into countless tributaries, slowly forming a lake in front of Xiao Chen.
The surface of the lake widened. However, that droplet of water continued to hang high in the sky, unmoved.
The heavens were enraged. The thunderclouds scattered, and the blazing sun hung high in the sky, punishing on behalf of the heavens, using the power of the sun to scatter this droplet of water.
However, something strange happened. When this droplet of water shone on it, it glistened like crystal. The hotter the sunlight, the more resplendent it was, the more dazzling this droplet of water became. This droplet of water was so proud.
The sun set and the sun rose. This blazing sun roasted this droplet of water for three thousand three hundred and thirty-three years.
However, this droplet of water remained as proud as before, not changing its past.
The heavens were enraged.
Then, the heavens used thousands of lightning bolts to strike it, wanting to completely destroy it. Another three thousand three hundred and thirty-three years passed.
This droplet of water did not change its past, remaining as proud as before.
The heavens raged and used strong winds to torture it for three thousand three hundred and thirty-three years …
The blazing sun, strong winds, and lightning tormented it for a total of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years. However, this droplet of water remained as proud as before. For nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years, the lightning, strong winds, and intense flames could not change its past.
It only made it shine even more resplendent, washing away all the impurities on its body. It became crystalline and pure, as beautiful as a demon!
What is a demon?
Someone as lonely as me, hanging high in the nine heavens for ten thousand years, existing alone!
What is a demon?
Someone as proud as me, not fearing the Heavenly Might!
Just like that, Xiao Chen watched this droplet of water for nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years, watching this droplet of water hang high in the sky, not changing its past.
The scene suddenly changed. Xiao Chen retreated and saw this droplet of water continue falling.
"Pa!"
When this droplet of water landed on the lake, the vast lake instantly exploded. The sky also shattered at this moment. This droplet of water expelled all of the lake's water. The droplet of water pierced through the lake and exploded the boundless lake water.
No matter how much water there was in the lake, it could not contain the heart of this droplet of water.
"Boom!"
Xiao Chen felt shocked. In the next moment, he startled awake. Xiao Chen's entire body was drenched in sweat as if he had had a very long dream. Then, he looked at the painting floating in front of him.
The scene in the painting still had not changed. It was still a droplet of water slowly falling, and the lake remained calm and peaceful.
Xiao Chen leaped down and put away the Ice Fire Lotus Platform. Then, he opened the painting in his hand and carefully looked at it, entering deep thought.
"Even a droplet of water can become a demon. The blazing sun, strong winds, and lightning cannot destroy it. It only adds to its elegance, making it look even more demonic. Not going with the flow, not following the will of heaven, not respecting the Heavenly Might. A droplet of water shatters the sky! "
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. The inheritance contained in this painting was simply incredible.
"Fiendish Saber Xi Mu's nominal disciple, Lu Benwei, comes to seek an audience with the Heavenly Alliance's Xiao Chen!"
Just as Xiao Chen was deep in thought, Lu Benwei's voice rang out in the courtyard. Xiao Chen muttered, What is he doing here? Is he here to give me the third painting?
After putting away the painting, Xiao Chen went out to receive Lu Benwei. Then, he performed a cupped-fist salute and said, "Greetings, Big Brother Lu."
Lu Benwei gave Xiao Chen a strange look. "You look very pale. Did something go wrong with your cultivation?"
Xiao Chen knew that he had exhausted too much of his mind while comprehending the second painting. So, he wanted to tell the truth and ask for guidance.
Lu Benwei asked, "Do you need to rest? My master would like to meet you. "
Fiendish Saber Xi Mu wants to meet me?
Alright, I want to meet him as well. Xiao Chen was very curious about what kind of existence this Fiendish Saber Xi Mu was.
Why did Xi Mu reject all the other Faux Gods who wanted to take him in as a disciple and refuse to take him in as a disciple?
Also, why did Xi Mu give him the Fiendish Saber painting?
"There's no need. We can leave now. Big Brother Lu, please lead the way."
Xiao Chen immediately answered without hesitation.
"Come with me, then."
Lu Benwei nodded slightly and sized up Xiao Chen. He also wondered why his master suddenly wanted to take Xiao Chen in as a nominal disciple.
The two were filled with questions as they rushed to where Fiendish Saber Xi Mu cultivated.
