Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1564  Chapter 398: Time Painting Realm (3)

“It’s just very despicable, an unscrupulous person. No matter how talented he is, he will achieve nothing great. His Taoist heart is extremely low, only coveting wealth and honor, not worthy of this bloodline and aptitude!”

Hearing Su Muqing’s words, everyone looked at each other, all turning their gaze to Li Hao, eyes full of doubt.

“What do you mean by this?”

Jiang Huanhuan was full of curiosity.

Su Muqing kept a tight-lipped face, naturally unwilling to say that she was to be entangled by Li Hao for a hundred years, finding it difficult to talk about.

Seeing her remain silent, Jiang Huanhuan turned her head, looked at Li Hao carefully and with a sudden smile, said:

“Do you and Sister Muqing have a misunderstanding? Would you like me to help clarify it?”

Li Hao hadn’t expected this young girl, hearing Su Muqing’s words, to speak kindly to him. He shook his head slightly and said, “There’s nothing to explain.”

Jiang Huanhuan was a bit surprised, realizing that there must be something unspeakable between the two, but she didn’t pursue it deeply. She brought the topic back to the painting of the Space Origin Divine Tree and said:

“Did you paint this yourself?”

“Yes.”

Li Hao nodded.

Jiang Huanhuan gazed at him for a moment, then nodded and smiled, “I believe you.”

After speaking, she skipped back like a happy little bird to Lan Qin and Su Muqing’s side.

Su Muqing, hearing Jiang Huanhuan’s words, was furious, her face turning black. But since Jiang Huanhuan was from the Jiang family, her status on Gusu Emperor Star was not much lower than the Su Family. Her ancestors had Immortal Emperors, and the previous generation of the Jiang family had many outstanding talents, spreading their branches. While the current generation of their Four Phoenixes were more dazzling among other major clans, the heritage of the previous generation complemented it well enough.

“Is this your painting?”

At this moment, a soft voice came through.

Everyone in the pavilion trembled and turned to see a familiar figure approaching.

“Dragon Rhythm Painting Immortal!”

Lan Qin’s eyes lit up instantly upon seeing the person and went to greet her.

Su Muqing, Su Wanqing, and the others also looked over, seeing an elegant and cool woman walking over slowly, her delicate dress fluttering, dazzling as if she were a fairy from a painting.

Li Hao was a bit stunned to see who it was—could it really be her?

“Space Origin Divine Tree…”

Dragon Rhythm Painting Immortal gazed at the hanging painting, then slowly focused her gaze on Li Hao, “Did you paint this?”

Li Hao looked at the two maids beside her, finally realizing he had not been mistaken. He nodded and said, “Yes.”

“Your painting skills are indeed extraordinary, reaching the pinnacle of the mortal world, a supreme achievement.”

Dragon Rhythm Painting Immortal nodded slightly, acknowledging and praising Li Hao’s painting skills.

Li Hao didn’t feel particularly delighted by this evaluation; it was simply stating the truth.

After all, a painting skill of eleven segments had already reached the level of Transcendent and Entering Saint, stepping into the Immortal Tao.

Hearing Dragon Rhythm Painting Immortal’s words, everyone was even more amazed by Li Hao’s painting. Receiving praise from the Dragon Rhythm Painting Immortal was indeed a work of astonishing value.

Lan Qin stepped forward and said, “Dragon Rhythm Painting Immortal, did you bring Hao Tian in?”

Dragon Rhythm Painting Immortal nodded slightly and said, “He said my painting was mediocre outside the Sealing Array Barrier, so I brought him in to see how his work compares.”

After speaking, she cast a faint glance at Li Hao.

Hearing this, everyone was enlightened, then looked at Li Hao with peculiar expressions. Did he really call Dragon Rhythm Painting Immortal’s work mediocre?

Perhaps he didn’t realize that those paintings on display outside were the early works of Dragon Rhythm Painting Immortal?

Thinking of this, everyone felt a silent embarrassment for Li Hao.

“Indeed, bold and outrageous, those paintings were just meant for those newly introduced to the Artistic Path to admire.”

Su Muqing couldn’t help but sneer, “Does he really think having some painting skills makes him invincible? Truly a low-minded Taoist heart, not to be encouraged!”

Dragon Rhythm Painting Immortal looked at Su Muqing unexpectedly. Still, since the latter spoke in her defense, she showed a hint of goodwill in her eyes and nodded slightly at Su Muqing, then said to Li Hao:

“Your painting skills are remarkable, but since you’re here, let’s each present a painting for everyone to appreciate and enjoy, shall we?”

Li Hao had never truly competed in the Artistic Path before, only discussing it with the Great Dream Master earlier, which did not count as a real contest.

Hearing this, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

Just as a Swordsman would not refuse another Swordsman’s Sword Dao invitation.

“Very well.”

Li Hao nodded.

Upon hearing the two were about to paint on the spot, everyone’s eyes lit up, not expecting such a spectacle.

Lan Qin, happily surprised, immediately waved her hand to clear a space, saying:

“This pavilion is too small; why don’t we go outside by the lake to watch?”

Dragon Rhythm Painting Immortal nodded slightly.

Soon, everyone flew upstairs, arriving above the lake.

“Sister, why does he insist on following you?”

Su Wanqing and Su Muqing arrived outside the lake, standing together. Su Wanqing couldn’t help but softly ask with curiosity.

She sensed that the young man didn’t have an overbearing aura, and all his actions seemed to be nothing more than a means to pursue a goal.

“How would I know, maybe he wants to sway me with such a foolish approach, simply laughable.”

Su Muqing replied with a sneer.

Remembering the hundred-year agreement, Su Wanqing nodded, sighing with regret.

At that moment, Dragon Rhythm Painting Immortal and Li Hao were facing each other in the space above the lake cleared by the crowd.

The competition there, coupled with Dragon Rhythm Painting Immortal’s appearance, drew everyone’s attention from the other pavilions, and silhouettes gathered around.

“Who is that, and what is happening?”

“Competing in the Artistic Path with Dragon Rhythm Painter?”

Most of those present were women, who began to chatter.

Lan Qin raised a hand and said sternly, “Silence.”

A pressure from the peak of the Immortal Monarch Realm rippled out, instantly quieting the entire scene.
