"So, you can't avoid being laughed at, right?"
Zhou Ling stood there blankly, holding the sword, his clear eyes full of grievance.
"That's because they don't understand the value of this technique! This move is called the Immortal Golden Body. Literally, although your entire body turns golden, the body's defense during the golden period is just like the effect of maxing out the skill. It's nothing but meat. Even if others chop you 800 times, you only lose a drop of blood. It's very practical!"
It’s a bit ugly, but it’s practical!
At this point, Long Aotian can only hope that his disciple can be more open-minded.
"Master is right." Zhou Ling lowered his head, looking dejected.
"Okay, you have practiced swordsmanship well. Master has prepared a gift for you as a reward." Long Aotian took out the newly made defensive spiritual weapon and used his spiritual power to carry it to his disciple.
"A kettle?" Zhou Ling had seen many strange defensive magical weapons and spiritual weapons, so he was not surprised when he saw the kettle.
"Yes! It's a pink crystal kettle! It's beautiful and practical. It can protect you and hold water for drinking. There's a space formation engraved inside the kettle. Don't be fooled by its small appearance. It can actually hold a pool of water!"
Long Aotian was proud of himself and looked forward to his disciple's response.
Seeing this, Zhou Ling didn't say much, but just lowered his head and pointed at all the equipment he had from head to toe.
"Except for the robes that are in accordance with the sect's regulations, all my clothes are pink. Master... even the flying magic weapon on my sofa is pink. Can you change the color for me next time? Please, Master, I don't want to be a pink person anymore."
"This is because I was inconsiderate. I thought that girls your age all like pink. Next time, next time I give you something, I will definitely change the color."
"Oh, right, you said during the day that you can tell others about your sudden enlightenment of the Way of Heaven. Ling'er, this is a matter of your own chance. If it is not necessary, you don't have to accommodate those old bastards. With Master standing in front of you, you will be able to have peace."
Speaking of sending gifts, Long Aotian suddenly thought of the things that the group of unwilling old men placed at the gate of Zhijian Peak.
They were all shrewd old men. Seeing that the hard approach didn't work, they started to use soft tactics. Gifts were sent to Zhijian Peak like flowing water, but they were all blocked by Long Aotian.
It's really ridiculous. Would his disciple be interested in things given by outsiders?
"I'm not trying to accommodate you, Master. The content of my epiphany, the part that I can show to others, is actually not a secret. Almost everyone knows it."
Zhou Ling answered honestly, but Long Aotian frowned after hearing it.
What the disciple had suddenly realized was nothing else but an extremely rare realization of the Way of Heaven. Logically speaking, the content of her realization was her deeper understanding of the laws of Heaven. But now she said... the part of her realization that could be shown to others was known to everyone. How was this possible?
"Master, if I say that the part of my enlightenment that I can show others is not about me, but about everyone in the world, will you believe me?"
"Believe it." Long Aotian answered without hesitation. He believed in his judgment of people and that his disciple was definitely not the kind of person who would cheat in such an important matter.
Only after seeing his master's attitude with his own eyes did Zhou Ling feel completely relieved.
What she fears most now is that her master will also become suspicious of her.
"The part that can be shown to people is about the suffering of all living beings in this world. The demon who can destroy the world has achieved his wish and slaughtered people in the mortal world and the immortal world. Master, I saw many scenes in my epiphany. I even saw the face of the demon clearly."
After entering the world of immortal cultivation, photographic memory has become a kind of practiceable technique. For the memories that you want to remember forever, you can use the technique to slightly adjust them, and they will remain in your mind forever, unless they are destroyed by external forces. When Zhou Ling first saw the scene of enlightenment, she was very scared, but in addition to being scared, she knew in her heart that what she saw now must be extremely important, and she must remember it.
He took out the portrait he had just painted from the storage bracelet and handed it solemnly to his master.
"Master, my painting skills are average, but when I saw the demon in my epiphany, it really looked like this."
The portrait on the paper was a charcoal sketch drawn by Zhou Ling. The face was composed of light and dark, and did not have the stereotype of demons that they had imagined.
The person in the painting has strong facial features and an upright posture, and even just a few strokes between his eyebrows reveal his deep-seated sharpness.
Long Aotian stared at the portrait, his face gradually turned pale, and he remained silent for a long time.
In the world-destroying war thousands of years ago, all the human and demon cultivators put aside the past, put aside their grudges, and worked together to defend their homes with their lives and resist foreign enemies.
At that time, many people had seen the demons that descended from the sky just to destroy the world.
It's just strange that the face of the demon seems to be a taboo. No one can record it on a jade slip, paper, or stone wall...
Only Fairy Hengyue was smarter at that time. In order to leave a warning for future generations and to leave traces of the real enemy in this world-destroying war, she divided the demon's face into more than a dozen parts and printed them on paper. She also ordered people from each sect to take one piece away, trying to keep the dozen pieces of paper as far apart as possible.
When it comes to taking advantage of loopholes, she is the best. She cannot directly and completely record the demon's face, but as long as she can separate them enough, she can still remember it.
Therefore, each sect only collected one copy of the demon's face, sometimes half of the eyebrow, or half of the left upper lip, or a small area of the right chin.
These portraits cannot be put together, but anyone in this world who wants to check them out can travel back and forth among all the sects in this world, look at all the facial features and facial features, and sketch the face of the demon in their minds.
Long Aotian was naturally curious, and spent a lot of time traveling around the various sects before finally carving the face of the demon in his mind.
So what does this piece of paper that his disciple gave him mean?
He was so familiar with the face above! Many years ago, when he was still full of passion, he had regarded the person in the painting as his greatest enemy in life.
It’s the demon that came to destroy the world. How did my disciple manage to draw it on paper!
"In those scenes, what happened to our world in the end?"
In fact, when his disciple handed him this painting, Long Aotian felt somewhat disheartened.
The sudden realization of the way of heaven often represents some kind of warning.
If the content of my sudden realization that can be shown to others is that the seal was not reinforced, allowing the demons to escape and destroy all living things in this world, then...
He asked nervously about the confusion in his mind.
“The scenes I saw were somewhat fragmented and incoherent, but I was still in darkness until the end.”
