Goddess Painting

Thin as a cicada's wing, its texture has an eerie, translucent flesh-colored appearance.

Qin Feng's heart stirred, and he stepped forward, squatting down:

"What is this?"

The stall owner slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of cloudy yet gleaming eyes, his voice hoarse as if he were sanding sandpaper:

"The Thousand Illusions Mask".

"High-grade spiritual weapon."

"It was made from the life-bound skin of the Thousand-Faced Fox. Once attached, it blends seamlessly with the flesh."

"When the mind moves, the five senses and bones change accordingly; when the breath is restrained, one becomes like withered wood and stubborn stone."

"As long as you don't reveal yourself, even a Blood Transformation Realm expert standing in front of you won't be able to see through your true appearance."

Even the Blood Refining Realm can't see through it?!

Qin Feng's pupils contracted slightly, and his heart skipped a beat.

This was the very object he had been dreaming of!

But he remained expressionless, simply asking:

"price?"

The strange man—the Faceless Old Man—extended a withered finger:

"Ten...high-grade spirit stones."

This price is expensive, but it's worth it!

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Feng took out ten high-grade spirit stones brimming with spiritual energy from his storage bag and threw them onto the stall:

"Bought it!"

He grabbed the mask, tucked it into his pocket, turned and left, his movements fluid and decisive.

Qin Feng only breathed a sigh of relief after walking dozens of miles out of the ghost market and confirming that no one was following him.

He found a secluded mountain stream and, by the light of the moon, carefully took out the "Thousand Illusions Mask".

It feels cool to the touch and smooth like skin.

"Let's see how it goes!"

Qin Feng took a deep breath and slowly pressed the mask onto his face.

There was no foreign body sensation as I had imagined. The moment the mask touched my skin, it instantly turned into a cool sensation that seeped into my pores, as if it had completely disappeared!

Qin Feng walked to the edge of the pool and looked at it through the reflection.

A thought crossed my mind.

His once handsome features began to slowly wriggle and shift!

My cheekbones became higher, my eyebrows thickened, and my skin became darker and rougher...

In the blink of an eye, what was reflected in the water was no longer the spirited young peak master, but an ordinary young man who could not be found in a crowd!

"Change again!"

The thought crossed my mind again.

His facial features were reassembled once again, transforming him into a burly man with a face full of scars and a fierce look in his eyes!

"Great stuff! Really great stuff!"

Qin Feng touched his face, the realistic sensation making it hard for even himself to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Immediately afterwards, he tried to control his breathing.

His cultivation at the eighth level of the New Life Realm vanished instantly, and he looked like a novice who had just entered the Body Forging Realm.

With another turn, all his life force vanished, leaving him as ordinary as a mortal!

"Perfect!"

A satisfied smile curved Qin Feng's lips:

"With this, I can get away with this."

……

After settling everything, Qin Feng rushed back to Tian Shu Peak overnight.

Pushing open the door, I saw that the candles inside were still lit.

Lin Wan'er was sitting at the table, holding a half-sewn garment in her hand, nodding her head, clearly waiting for him.

Hearing the noise, she woke up with a start. When she saw it was Qin Feng, a gentle smile immediately appeared on her face. She got up and poured him a cup of hot tea.

My husband, you're back.

Qin Feng took the teacup and looked at his wife's gentle eyes. All the scheming in his heart vanished instantly, leaving only tenderness.

He put down his teacup, gently took Lin Wan'er's hand, and said softly:

"Wan'er, in a few days... I need to go out and gain some experience."

"I might be gone for ten days to two weeks."

"You must be careful while you are on Tian Shu Peak. If anyone comes looking for trouble, stay inside and wait for me to return."

Lin Wan'er seemed to have a premonition, and did not ask any further questions, but the worry in her eyes deepened.

She stretched out her finger and wrote heavily on his palm:

My husband, you must be careful too.

No matter what opportunity arises, nothing is more important than your safety.

Wan'er... is waiting for you to come home.

These words instantly struck the softest spot in Qin Feng's heart.

"Wan'er..."

Unable to contain his emotions, Qin Feng pulled her into his arms.

With parting imminent, all the words I wanted to say were transformed into the most primal impulse.

With the red curtains drawn, a fierce and exhilarating battle was about to erupt.

……

After a long while, the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.

Lin Wan'er was, after all, only human, and was already exhausted. She fell into a deep sleep in Qin Feng's arms, a satisfied smile still on her lips.

Qin Feng gently tucked the blanket around her and was about to get up.

suddenly!

Om-!

The sandalwood box placed on the table suddenly began to shake violently without warning!

Immediately afterwards, an extremely dazzling beam of dark light pierced through the lid of the box and shot into the sky, illuminating the entire dimly lit room as if it were daytime!

"What's going on?!"

Qin Feng's pupils suddenly contracted, filled with shock.

"Why did the magic pen suddenly activate?!"

"This time, I didn't observe anyone, nor did I have any ulterior motives!"

In the past, to activate the magic brush, one had to think of a specific person in order to create a painting.

But now...

wrong!

Qin Feng suddenly realized what was happening.

What I've been thinking about just now is...

Lin Wan'er!

boom!

The magic pen flew out on its own, hovering in mid-air, its tip trembling wildly, and a lifelike world slowly formed under its brush!

next second!

An unprecedented and terrifying suction force swept down from the sky!

The suction force was so strong that Qin Feng didn't even have time to think of resisting!

"No--!"

Qin Feng only had time to let out a cry of surprise before he was instantly transformed into a streak of light and forcibly pulled into that mysterious world within the painting!

……

The world is spinning!

When Qin Feng opened his eyes again, he was completely stunned.

This is not a pavilion amidst clouds.

It's not a raging inferno.

It's not a forest of dead trees either.

This place is... utter chaos!

Beneath my feet lies a boundless, surging sea of ​​chaotic clouds, resembling the primordial chaos before the creation of heaven and earth.

And at the end of that sea of ​​clouds, stands a...

A magnificent palace beyond description!

It's too big!

So much so that Qin Feng, standing here, felt like he wasn't even a speck of dust!

The celestial palace was entirely forged from unknown black stone, exuding an ancient, desolate, and even somewhat oppressive and terrifying aura!

"Where...where am I?!"

The shock Qin Feng felt was indescribable.

A magic brush... it even has hidden maps?!

He drifted forward uncontrollably, as if an invisible hand was pulling him along.

They arrived at the enormous gate, which was ten thousand feet tall.

Rumble!

The heavy door slowly opened, the sound like the roar of an ancient beast.

A gust of wind wafted into the hall.

Look up.

hiss--!

He gasped, his scalp tingling!

What kind of grand hall is this?

This is clearly a universe!

The dome of the main hall was inlaid with real sun, moon and stars!

The Milky Way flows, scattering billions of starlight!

The floor of the main hall is adorned with flowing rivers, lakes, and seas, and the mountain ranges are clearly visible!

And in the very center of the hall, suspended in mid-air, was an enormous... throne!

The throne was shrouded in mist, and a terrifying being seemed to be sitting on it!

The mere aura emanating from the throne was enough to make Qin Feng's knees buckle, giving him an urge to prostrate himself in worship!

majesty!

overbearing!

Supreme!

Then, the mist dissipated, revealing a stunningly beautiful face upon the figure on the throne…

Upon seeing this face, Qin Feng's eyes narrowed sharply, and his expression turned horrified:

Do not!

impossible!
