Chapter 1154: Chapter 237: The Eve, the Painter’s Schemes

Ning Zheng murmured:

"No matter what, the Nine-State circulation system is too strong, the cultivation speed is absurdly slow, normal cultivation simply won’t work! You need significant opportunities to support it!"

"Luckily, others who cultivate the Nine-State system haven’t achieved perfection and are still a few tribulations away, the difficulty drops sharply, or else people like the Nine-headed Dragon Emperor would probably be stuck in the True Immortal Early Period for a lifetime."

Ning Zheng continued to ponder.

The Nine-State system is like crossing the river by feeling for stones, Ning Zheng is among the first batch to taste the peach after becoming immortal.

At this moment, it seems to cultivate the Nine-State circulation system, one must choose the Clone Stream for the seven Divine Techniques, or other techniques that similarly accelerate cultivation speed.

For example...

The Masked Statue Stream.

Which is about replicating various professions, advancing all the way, with an extremely fast breakthrough speed.

Now thinking carefully, perhaps the painter realized this back then?

He knew the circulation system was terrifyingly difficult to cultivate, and it was already so slow before immortality, even slower like a snail after becoming immortal.

So, he created the Divine Statue Era, copying other people’s Divine Techniques up the ladder?

This guy had already foreseen this step?

The more Ning Zheng thought, the more he felt the painter was unfathomable, but he quickly shook his head:

"No! No! I can’t keep imagining, if I continue like this, I’ll be the character responsible for overly imaginative thinking in the story of the blacksmith’s tale..."

"Specializing in imagining, every day loudly declaring how some Celestial Destiny’s protagonist had foresight, being unfathomable, highlighting their strength with imagination."

At this moment, Ning Zheng once again had a thought in front of the painter: could I be the supporting character?

After all, the painter seems too much like a protagonist, and hiding in the shadows while doing unknown things is truly nerve-wracking.

After all, his arrangements are too deep, many things only become clear afterward.

Like before, sending a group of miners to the Immortal Vein Domain to mine, who knew making money from mining was secondary, and he was preparing a setup to explode the Immortal Vein Domain and confirm the true form of the Time Ancient Tomb.

"However, with the transfer of two trillion to the painter, I’m completely broke."

...

...

Somewhere in the void.

"Such a huge amount, even if it’s the Immortal Venerable Supreme Treasure, it’s just in the range of trillions."

"Xi Rong, you’ve been earning quite a lot recently, this earning ability is more exaggerated than a single Immortal Venerate."

The painter showed a slight smile, looking at the recently acquired assets.

He was critically short of money for painting, not just generally short, it’s a bottomless pit no matter how much comes in.

"Xi Rong’s side, taking two trillion Upper Grade Immortal Stones, asking me to paint a prehistoric Jiumu Immortal Venerate Painter, are they planning to take this mother to perform in prehistory, helping Jiumu Qing awaken?"

He looked at the order, showing a trace of interest, "Just like they said, Xi Rong is full of green spirit, inherently fitting for the Pseudo-human race."

He had already completed this order.

Since someone helps him cross the river by feeling for stones, helps him experiment whether True Immortal Perfection Embers can break through to Immortal Venerate after obsession awakens, why wouldn’t he be happy?

He brought up a group of Nine-State cultivators, essentially as samples.

Wanting to develop the Embers with a large amount of data, helping to propel the post-immortality era.

"But that Jiu Shui fellow is avoiding me, knowing my plan, whereas Xi Rong is continually advancing the Embers technology..." he’s quite looking forward to Xi Rong as the diligent worker.

Xi Rong, this is truly his best era protagonist for working behind the scenes and advancing the era’s progress!

So, he’s taken on Xi Rong’s order.

Based on the data provided by the other party, and the data he collected, he painted a prehistoric Jiumu Immortal Venerate.

In fact, painting a prehistoric Immortal Venerate is not easy.

But drawing a hollow shell is enough to deceive Jiumu Qing and perform a drama in prehistory to aid her awakening.

"By the way, that Painter shouldn’t be wasted, let’s do some petty actions..."

"When they leave the Jiumu Immortal Venerate Painter in prehistory, another fake Jiumu Immortal Venerate will crazily spread Embers, infecting Prehistory with double disasters, it’s quite interesting."

The painter smiled warmly.

He sent the order’s scroll over to Xi Rong, and then didn’t care about the matters on that side.

He was standing on the edge of a cliff in a world, looking through the world membrane at the entrance outside the distant world: Time Ancient Tomb projection.

Rustle.

He was holding a brush, continuously painting.

On the canvas, a shape of the Time Ancient Tomb projection gradually appeared,

"The data has been almost collected."

"Went and exploded the Immortal Vein Domain, took a look at the true form of the Time Ancient Tomb, and now through this projection collecting data, basically can paint the projection of the Time Ancient Tomb."

The painter showed a meaningful smile.

The Time Ancient Tomb isn’t completely finished just because it’s closed now, waiting to reopen in a few million years, he wants to master painting the entrance to the Time Ancient Tomb projection, to smuggle to prehistory anytime.

Thus, the most core monopoly ability of the Immortal Realm, the Time Ancient Tomb entrance, will be broken.

He wants to paint the entire "Chronicles of Time", which means painting all of history, and how could this history not include the past? Therefore, he must open "the past" at any time to paint, which is his true intention.

But going back to the past is just the beginning of his great blueprint.

The painter continued painting, showing a trace of expectation: "Ah, the future, has endless possibilities, infinite excitement, so I can freeze your faces of laughter and cheer."

Nine-State.

Yesterday’s Forest.

The painter’s true self still smiled with his daughter and wife, continuing life in the flower-bloomed forest.

He was painting, cultivating his temperance, suddenly looked up, murmured:

"Time separates into two segments."

"The past is the fixed past, so that battle is unchangeable."

"The future is the boundless future, so my actions now have infinite possibilities."

"Yet no one knows, Xian... is present, is now."

He took out a brush, painting his wife and daughter’s eternal countenance captured on the scroll, their radiant and bright smile seemingly forming eternity,

"My scroll is fixed in the eternal... present."

Whether Painter or Embers, both are fixed in the eternal testament of the present.

Let all flowers eternally remain in that brilliant moment of bloom.

...

The day came for Ning Zheng to start his sneaky operation.

The Time Ancient Tomb was open for this month, Ning Zheng never truly acted, waiting for this moment of impending closure.

Because it’s the last day of the Secret Realm closure, which is the last hundred years inside.

The battlefield inside was still fighting darkly and disastrously, with many casualties!

"They want to close the slaughterhouse!"

"The ancient Immortal Venerate opened an Outer Heaven Battlefield, directly profiting big!"

"And us, we can’t let them profit massively."

"Business, how can it not lose money? They like doing self-service? We’ll teach them a harsh lesson!"

"Brothers, charge!"

From the players’ perspective, the zero-cost acquisition moment arrived.

To avenge those cultivators who died in the past, they must plunder fiercely.

Reverse the trade deficit, patriotism starts with me!
