The ghost-blood beast didn't react but as if sensing something, the Breezy Monster finally let out a sword cry.
The next instant, a sword ray flashed by, slashing at Lin Jin's strange shadow.
But a shadow was a shadow, how could it be destroyed?
Other than leaving a mark on the ground, the Blade Energy didn't do anything else.
The Breezy Monster clearly didn't know what to do. There seemed to be something wrong with Lin Jin's shadow, but at the same time, everything seemed normal. In any case, the Breezy Monster calmed down.
At this, Lin Jin knew he had met a tough opponent this time.
He glanced at Xiao Huo. The latter sniffed the air, noticing that something was wrong as well. However, there was nothing he could do because Lin Jin's shadow had changed.
That was all.
There was no enemy, no other aura. What should he do?
Attacking the shadow didn't work either. The Breezy Monster had tried this earlier but to no avail.
Since it was only his shadow that changed its appearance and nothing else happened, Lin Jin relaxed. Shu Xiaolou ran over and stared at Lin Jin in surprise. After a long while, he said, "Lin Jin, your shadow has changed its gender."
Lin Jin rolled his eyes at her.
"Let's be serious, did you notice anything wrong just now?" Shu Xiao Lou hurriedly straightened his face and asked.
Lin Jin recalled carefully and shook his head.
Nothing seemed amiss. Ever since they entered this level of the painting world, Lin Jin and Xiao Lou had been extremely cautious. Their nerves had been stretched taut. If there was anything amiss, they would have noticed it long ago.
"What do we do now?" Lin Jin was at a loss. He had never cultivated this shadow's cultivation method before so he had no idea how to investigate it.
Shu Xiao Lou shook her head.
She wasn't familiar with this either.
"Maybe, there's something that sneaked into your shadow when we weren't paying attention." Xiao Shu Lou made a reasonable guess.
Lin Jin was immediately reminded of what Shu Xiaolou had mentioned. This Yellow Springs was actually a supreme artifact that could suppress malevolent beings.
In that case, could it be that an extraordinary thing wanted to use his shadow to 'break out of prison'?
That was a possibility.
Lin Jin thought of something else. Since his shadow had been infiltrated, what about Shu Xiao Lou's? She was fine even if he was in trouble.
Lin Jin turned to Shu Xiao Lou's shadow.
But when he looked at it, there was nothing wrong with Xiao Lou's shadow. It was the same as before, and it was still the same.
Could it be that the creatures here saw him as a pushover?
Shu Xiao Lou and Lin Jin were very familiar with each other. Previously, they had mentioned that they could read each other's minds. Now that Shu Xiao Lou could read Lin Jin's mind, she added a stab to the wound.
She didn't look for me because I'm a girl too. As the saying goes, opposites attract … "Before Shu Xiao Lou could finish teasing him, Lin Jin waved his hand and said," Alright, why are you still talking about this at a time like this? Help me think of something. We can't go on like this. "
Indeed.
Although Lin Jin wasn't as paranoid as Cao Cao, he still felt uneasy when something happened to his shadow, especially when his pet beasts didn't know how to deal with it. This was as if he was given a test paper in a subject he didn't understand at all. It was unbearable.
The problem was that he couldn't hand in a blank paper.
Handing in a blank paper meant ignoring it. But the problem was, it was like stepping on a ticking time bomb that might explode at any moment.
Hence, he couldn't just ignore it.
Shu Xiao Lou might be teasing him, but she had to think of a solution when it was time.
"Within the Painting Realm, Qian Kun Mo's divine ability is extremely great. Let's use the Seven Stars Sealing Technique and use Qian Kun Mo to seal your shadow first. Even though it will be a little troublesome on your side and it will be more strenuous, at least there is some insurance."
Lin Jin nodded.
At a time like this, Lin Jin was open to any method he could think of.
Next up was Xiao Lou's turn to cast a spell. She dripped seven drops of Cosmos Ink onto Lin Jin's shadow to suppress it. She used a rather crude method. In other words, no matter what was in the shadow, she would suppress it all, including Lin Jin's shadow.
This method wouldn't work in the outside world, but it worked in the painting world.
Lin Jin agreed. Since his shadow was acting strangely, he should take precautions. Since Shu Xiao Lou used a spell, he should use some other method to suppress it.
The only thing he could think of was the Purple Thunder Divine Needle.
This thing could suppress many things, especially malevolent entities. However, stabbing the shadow directly wouldn't work because his shadow was just a shadow.
"Maybe when the thing in the shadow makes a move, the Purple Thunder Divine Needle will have a miraculous effect." Lin Jin had a plan.
With that, he would have to keep his guard up. If anything went wrong, he could just activate the Purple Thunder Divine Needle.
This was the only method Lin Jin could think of. There was nothing else he could think of.
Just as Shu Xiao Lou said, Lin Jin's shadow had only changed its gender. There was no other movement, no hostility, and no aura being released.
Since he couldn't do anything to the shadow, he decided to ignore it for now. It was better to do what he had to do.
Now, he had to enter the painting world layer by layer until he reached the origin of the Unending Nature Landscape. Then, Shu Xiao Lou could take control of the origin painting world. Once that happened, Shu Xiao Lou could become the painting spirit of the Unending Nature Landscape. Her cultivation would improve by leaps and bounds and Lin Jin would have an expert equivalent to a true immortal on his side.
This was too much for Lin Jin. Hence, no matter what, Lin Jin had to get his hands on the Unending Nature Landscape.
After entering the skeletal hall, Shu Xiao Lou activated the sky gate cloud bridge that led to the next painting world. Lin Jin and Shu Xiao Lou immediately stepped inside.
Neither of them wanted to stay any longer in this Underworld Painting world. After all, it was too boring.
After passing through the bridge of clouds in the Heaven Gate, the two of them finally left the Nether Springs Diagram and arrived at the next level. Truthfully speaking, this place was rather desolate. All they saw was a boundless desert that was exceedingly arid, and there wasn't the slightest sign of life.
But no matter what, this place was much better than the Underworld Painting.
However, whether it was Lin Jin or Shu Xiao Lou, the first thing they did upon entering this painting world wasn't to observe the situation. Instead, they looked at Lin Jin's shadow.
They wanted to know if the shadow only changed its gender in Underworld Painting. Would it be the same in other painting worlds?
Perhaps it would return to normal and that evil creature that changed its shadow could only stay in Underworld Painting. It wouldn't be able to escape.
However, this was only Lin Jin and Shu Xiao Lou's wish. In reality, Lin Jin's shadow still looked like a woman. She had long hair and wore a long robe. She looked very charming.
