Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 90 The Four Holy Spirits?

"Is it just our imagination?" the two old men murmured to each other.

One of the elderly men with disheveled hair spoke solemnly, “No, it’s definitely not an illusion. Lord Siren has indeed had a trace of his power drained away.”

"Oh no! The Demon Lord's power is also waning!" another old man suddenly exclaimed in alarm.

The two of them instantly focused their attention on the ancient demon god phantom in the divine realm.

A faint trace of the power of the laws was being extracted and stolen in a strange way, disappearing into thin air.

"How could this be?"

"Who has the audacity to steal power from my Holy Spirit Realm out of thin air?"

"Could it be that some powerful being has emerged from another dojo?"

“It’s possible,” the disheveled old man said solemnly, “or perhaps it’s the work of some evil god?”

……

Yaoyang City Scroll Painters Association, Tier 3 Holy Spirit Island instance.

It took Xue Lingling quite a while to successfully absorb the demon's "martial spirit," and her absorption efficiency was far inferior to that of Fish Gill Commander.

This is clearly not a difference in the level of refinement of the divine laws, but rather a difference in the conception of the scroll itself.

Wu Xian pondered secretly and vaguely figured out some of the tricks of the trade.

Whether the scroll's conception was "perfect" or not, and how similar it was to the "standard answer," was far more important than he thought!
The stronger this aspect is, the more powerful the divine diagram that is formed will be in certain aspects.

Alternatively, it can be understood as having a higher "priority" in terms of competition among rules.

Of course, the reason why Fish Gill Commander and Soul Devouring Ghost King were able to absorb the Holy Spirit is most likely because the "Holy Spirit" itself is quite special, and it just so happened to run into the line of fire of the underworld's power.

Alternatively, it can be understood that the Holy Spirit had a fatal flaw in the conception of the scroll.

"Let's go, let's go, the ghost kings are practically drooling with envy."

Xue Lingling's eyes were burning with passion, and her breathing was rapid.

Without further ado, Wu Xian immediately followed Xue Lingling and began a thorough sweep of Holy Spirit Island.

That's right, it's a sweep!
Once the Day Wanderer appeared, he split and transformed into more than ten wandering souls, acting as scouts to explore various places.

The two painting spirits, the God of Wealth and the Soul-Eating Ghost King, are responsible for sweeping away the strange creatures on Holy Spirit Island.

boom! boom! boom!
Lei Fa unleashed a furious barrage, leaving nothing but desolation in its wake.

As the Holy Spirit creatures fell, waves of Holy Spirit descendants flocked towards the two.

However, the two of them looked down on those ordinary descendants of the Holy Spirits, and their eyes were only on those Holy Spirit warriors who could summon "Holy Spirit Martial Souls".

"Tiger Holy Spirit? Mine~ Mine~!"

Wu Xian quickly locked onto one of the Holy Spirits in tiger form, Black and White Impermanence suppressed it with shackles, and General Leopard Tail came out for a feast.

Xue Lingling set her sights on one of the evil spirits, but she absorbed it too slowly. Even when all nine ghost kings released their own to absorb it, their speed couldn't keep up with Wu Xian's.

While she was draining the evil spirits dry, Wu Xian had already devoured the other three spirits.

"..." Xue Lingling complained bitterly, "Can't you leave your teacher a piece of meat?"

“Sure, sure,” Wu Xian replied cheerfully. If it weren’t for Xue Lingling, he really wouldn’t have known there was such a wonderful place. “Holy Spirit Island is great. We should come to Holy Spirit Island often.”

Little did they know, at this very moment, inside the distant Holy Spirit Dojo, the high-ranking members were already in complete chaos.

The successive "theft" of power by various holy spirits within the divine realm is tantamount to the collapse of the sky for the Holy Spirit Dojo.

The good news is that the amount stolen was very small.

The bad news is that they are powerless to stop this situation and can only watch helplessly as the power in the divine realm flows away.

On the other hand, let's look at the Tier 3 Holy Spirit Island dungeon.

The master and apprentice had gone mad with killing intent.

They almost completely wiped out the surrounding Holy Spirit monsters and Holy Spirit tribes.

It wasn't until a streak of fire shot into the sky in the distance that the two suddenly remembered that there was another group of people in the instance.

"What's going on? Something big has happened?" Wu Xian's eyes lit up.

"Snatch it from him!" Xue Lingling didn't hesitate at all, her eyes filled with longing for the Holy Spirit. "It should be one of the three strongest Holy Spirits on the third-tier Holy Spirit Island, the Blazing Fire Divine Bird. I just don't know if we can absorb it?"

During the journey, Xue Lingling gave a brief introduction.

Within Holy Spirit Island, each tribe has multiple guardian spirits, similar to a totem worship.

Within the Tier 3 dungeon, there are three of the most powerful tribes, each protected by a powerful holy spirit.

Fiery Bird, Black Water Turtle, Vajra Tiger King.

When Wu Xian first heard about the Blazing Firebird on his own, he didn't feel anything special.

But when he learned the names of these three holy spirits, he was completely unsettled.

"Is there an extra dragon-shaped guardian spirit in the fourth-tier dungeon?" Wu Xian asked tentatively.

"You know this too?" Xue Lingling asked in surprise.

"Really?" Wu Xian's heart pounded as he offered a vague explanation, "I saw it online before, and it suddenly reminded me. Speaking of which, aren't the Four Holy Spirits very important in the Holy Spirit Dojo?"

Xue Lingling shook her head and smiled, "It's just average, only slightly better than the Holy Spirit Scrolls sold to the public, commonly known as the Four Great Warriors for beginners in the Holy Spirit Dojo."

"The Four Great Warriors for Newbies? What does that mean?"

"It's the scroll that you can choose from four for free after joining the Holy Spirit Dojo."

"..." Wu Xian's forehead went black.

The four founding families, right?
The Four Heavenly Spirits, who were once the most powerful beings in the Holy Spirit Dojo, have been reduced to the four newcomers in the Holy Spirit Dojo.

"No, no, given the prestige of the Four Celestial Spirits, even if the concept of the scroll is only one percent similar, it couldn't possibly be this weak."

Therefore, it is likely that the three or four starter families of the Holy Spirit Dojo are not related to the Four Heavenly Spirits; they just happen to have similar names, numbers, and attributes.

If there were even the slightest connection at the conceptual level, it couldn't be this weak.

Or perhaps it has piggybacked on the "standards" of certain secondary, tertiary, or even quaternary creative works?
But there is some connection between them.

Therefore, Wu Xian was very interested in this blazing fire bird.

The Four Celestial Spirits are definitely out of the question at this stage, but perhaps we can use the materials from the Blazing Firebird to create something else.

Boom boom boom...

Before they even got close to the main battlefield, the two felt a scorching heat.

The entire mountain range ahead had turned into a sea of ​​fire, and a crimson firebird circled in the air, fiercely clashing with the main team of the Divine Fire Club.

The members of the Divine Fire Club mainly control silver-axis fire-attribute spirits, which presents them with some difficulty when facing the Blazing Fire Divine Bird.

"With this level of skill, you dare to challenge the Blazing Bird in a Tier 3 dungeon? Who gave you the courage?"

Xue Lingling mocked with disdain.

"What do you mean? Should we just rob it now, or wait until the very end to make our move?" Wu Xian was eager to try.

"No rush," Xue Lingling teased, "They can't defeat the Blazing Firebird."

As she expected.

With a cry from the Fiery Divine Bird, a rain of fire fell from the sky.

The fire-attribute spirits in the Divine Fire Club can still hold on, but the spirit tamers can't keep up.

Then, a wave of fiery shockwave rippled out, sending two contestants flying.

"President Xue, if you lend a hand, we are willing to share half of the materials with you."

The captain of the Shenhuo Club had clearly spotted Xue Lingling watching from a distance.

"How dare you say that?" Xue Lingling's eyes were mocking, her expression as sinister as could be. "Once you're all dead, won't this Blazing Firebird be all ours?"

"I'm afraid Chairman Xue alone can't defeat the Blazing Fire Divine Bird, can he?" the captain of the Divine Fire Club questioned.

“Ignorant,” Xue Lingling sneered, “another pathetic wretch who judges a scroll painter with the eyes of an ordinary person.”

Many inexperienced spirit tamers have this problem.

They thought that owning a few impressive scrolls would put them on the same level as scroll painters.
