Goddess Painting

Several breaths passed before the crowd suddenly erupted in chaos!

"It's...it's all lit up?!"

"My God! All nine lights are on?! What kind of monster is this?!"

"This potential and foundation... I'm afraid even the sect leader's personal disciples can't compare!"

"Who on earth is this person?! When did the Qingyun Sect produce such a monstrous talent?!"

Some people couldn't help but speculate:

"Could this person be... the Lin family's prodigy who was all the rage not long ago—Lin Yi?"

"impossible!"

Someone immediately retorted:

"Although Lin Yi possesses a Saint-grade spiritual root, his cultivation time is still short. How could he possibly have reached the Divine Power Realm within a month? There must be someone else here!"

Among the crowd, Shadow's face was terrifyingly gloomy.

He stared intently at Qin Feng's retreating figure, his eyes brimming with jealousy.

too strong!

Such talent is simply despair-inducing!

"Boss..."

The man next to him with the "snake-kiss" swallowed hard and lowered his voice:

"This person's potential is terrifying; they must be on that list, right?"

"Shaking the Mountain" also said in a deep, muffled voice:

"Why don't we find an opportunity to give it a try?"

"If it's someone on the list, we brothers will get another huge bonus!"

The shadowy figure pondered for a moment, a glint of greed and ruthlessness flashing in its eyes:

"You can give it a try!"

"Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!"

"What if we win the lottery?"

the other side.

Looking at the figure bathed in light on the stage, Lin Yuyan's beautiful eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance.

"Such talent...this is truly a prodigy!"

Her heart pounded, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

"If only I could become a Daoist partner with a man like that..."

"Isn't that a million times better than marrying that good-for-nothing Qin Feng?!"

Just then.

Yue Zhentian's illusory figure reappeared, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement:

"Good! Good! Good!"

"This child has unparalleled potential and should be ranked number one!"

"You may inherit my legacy—the Eight Desolate Prison Suppressing Force!!"

The words fell.

The light from the Nine Dragon Pillars instantly converged into a beam of light, which shot directly into Qin Feng's brow!

boom!

Qin Feng felt a booming sound in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, a golden book exuding an ancient aura appeared out of thin air in his mind!

"Eight Desolate Prison Suppression Technique"!

A high-grade Earth-rank martial skill!

Moreover, it's a martial art that grows in power!

"The cultivation conditions are harsh: an extremely strong physical body is required, and the more spiritual energy attributes one possesses and the higher their quality, the greater the power will increase exponentially!"

This is practically tailor-made for Qin Feng!

His current physical body is made of jade, and it's ridiculously strong!

It possesses as many as four spiritual attributes, and all of them are of the highest quality!

"This is practically cheating!"

Qin Feng was overjoyed.

As information flooded in, the martial arts techniques seemed to come alive, automatically rehearsing in his mind.

Each move is incredibly profound, yet clearly visible.

In just a short while, he felt as if he had been cultivating for several years!

"Awesome! That's so awesome!"

"Directly mastering a high-grade Earth-rank martial skill, that's a bit too overpowered!"

Moreover, he possesses four types of Saint-grade spiritual power, making the power of this martial skill approach the Heavenly Rank!

The light dissipated.

Cracks appeared on the Nine Dragon Pillars, as if they had exhausted all their energy and completely lost their luster.

Qin Feng slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

At this moment, the way the crowd looked at him had completely changed.

That's reverence!

envy!

And... currying favor!

"Congratulations, junior brother, on receiving the inheritance!"

"Junior brother, you are truly gifted! May I ask which master you studied under? You must try to get to know them better after you leave!"

A group of people immediately surrounded them, showering them with flattery as if it were free.

Lin Yuyan stood on the outside, hesitated for a moment, then straightened her skirt, put on what she thought was her most charming smile, and walked gracefully forward.

"This young master..."

Her voice was soft and gentle, completely devoid of her previous cold and arrogant demeanor, and her eyes were filled with a sly look.

"I am Lin Yuyan, a disciple personally taught by the Holy Maiden."

"Young Master's talent is exceptional, and Yu Yan greatly admires it."

"If you ever need anything within the sect in the future, just ask, Yu Yan..."

She hadn't finished speaking.

Suddenly, a hand reached out, grabbed Qin Feng's arm, and pulled him to the side!

"unnecessary!!"

Li Wanqing stood in front of Qin Feng like a protective mother hen, glaring at Lin Yuyan:

He doesn't need your help!

"Get out of the way!"

Lin Yuyan's smile froze, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes, but seeing Qin Feng's indifferent expression, she ultimately didn't dare to lash out and could only retreat to the side in a huff.

The three shadowy figures merely watched the scene coldly, without stepping forward to join in the fun, but their eyes were like those of venomous snakes, fixed intently on Qin Feng.

Just then.

Yue Zhentian's illusory figure spoke again:

"The inheritance is complete."

"Besides martial arts techniques, I will also be giving away some cultivation resources that I left behind back then to those who are destined to receive them!"

After speaking, the phantom gradually disappeared.

Rumble!

A stone door deep inside the main hall slowly opened, revealing a staircase leading underground.

"Cultivation resources?!"

"A treasure trove of experts at the Meridian Opening Realm?!"

Everyone's eyes turned red!

I didn't manage to grab any martial arts skills earlier, but I should at least get a share of these resources, right?

"Charge!!"

Someone shouted, and a group of people rushed toward the stone door like madmen.

Although Qin Feng was also somewhat expectant, he did not lose his mind and pulled Li Wanqing along behind.

however.

When everyone rushed into the underground chamber, they were all dumbfounded.

"What...what's going on?!"

The secret room, which should have been filled with treasures, was now a complete mess!

It looked like it had been ransacked by robbers!

The jade bottles that once held the pills were shattered on the ground, and the pills inside had long since disappeared.

The box containing the elixir was violently smashed, leaving only some dried roots and withered leaves.

Even the decorations on the wall were pried off!

It's cleaner than if a dog had licked it!

"How could this happen?!"

"Did someone come beforehand?!"

Everyone was going crazy; the huge psychological gap was enough to make anyone want to vomit blood.

Qin Feng also frowned and squatted down to examine the marks on the ground.

"That's impossible."

Lin Yuyan said unwillingly, trying to show off her knowledge in front of Qin Feng:

"According to the sect's records, this cave dwelling is indeed being opened for the first time."

"The formation here is also intact; outsiders simply can't get in!"

Li Wanqing rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath:

"You think you know so much? What are you showing off for?"

Just as everyone was puzzled.

"Look, everyone!!"

A disciple suddenly pointed to the corner of the wall and exclaimed in surprise:

"Those are... claw marks?!"

The crowd quickly gathered around.

really!

Several deep claw marks were clearly imprinted on the hard stone wall!

The claw marks were enormous, several inches deep, with jagged edges, exuding a violent aura!

"These are the tracks of a demonic beast!!"

"Could it be... that all these treasures were eaten by demonic beasts?!"

Qin Feng carefully examined the claw marks and looked at the mess on the ground, and made a deduction in his mind:

"It seems we really came up empty-handed."

"Although this cave has never been visited by anyone, some kind of demonic beast beat it to it."

Li Wanqing's face was somewhat pale:

"And to be able to devour so many rare and precious herbs... just how powerful must this monster be?"

The moment the words fell.

roar--!!!

From the depths of the secret chamber, a low, painful roar suddenly came!

The sound was like muffled thunder rolling underground, making the ground beneath everyone's feet tremble!

"Over there!!"

Although everyone was afraid, their greed ultimately prevailed.

"Let's go take a look! There might be treasure next to the monster!"

"Fortune favors the bold! Let's go!"

After a brief discussion, everyone decided to stick together and move forward.

Following the claw marks deeper and deeper, we soon arrived at a huge underground cavern.

As soon as you step into the cave, a violent aura of thunder hits you!

"That is..."

Everyone stared intently, and instantly gasped, their scalps tingling with fear!

In the center of the cave, there lay a giant beast the size of a house!

It resembles a rhinoceros, its entire body covered in purplish-black scales, crackling with electric arcs!

Two enormous, sharp horns shot straight into the sky, as if they could pierce the heavens!

Earthly Fiend Thunder Rhino!!

A demonic beast at the Meridian Opening Realm!!

"This...aren't these the kinds of monsters that should only be found on the fourth floor?!"

"How did we end up in the second-level cave?!"

Some people's voices were trembling and their legs were weak.

At this moment, the Earthly Fiend Thunder Rhinoceros was roaring in pain, its massive body convulsing, its breath fluctuating, and even pools of blood seeping from beneath it.

"It... looks like it's laying eggs?!"

Someone with sharp eyes noticed something amiss.

"spawning?!"

The group exchanged bewildered glances, and a desire to retreat suddenly arose in their hearts.

The Earthly Fiend Thunder Rhino is already terrifyingly powerful, and it is said to possess a trace of divine beast bloodline, making it extremely irritable!

It's the egg-laying season now, so they're absolutely flammable!

Once discovered, it's a fight to the death!

and……

"The eggs of this kind of monster aren't worth much!"

Someone whispered:

"The Earthly Fiend Thunder Rhinoceros is wild and untamed, and it is impossible for it to hatch and recognize a master."

"To provoke a furious Qi Refining Realm demonic beast for a useless egg? That's a huge gamble!"

"Get out of here! Get out of here now!"

Many people have already begun to quietly back away.

Just then, someone's expression suddenly changed drastically:

"Look! What's that?!"
