Chapter 2685 True Appearance of Desolate Martial

Chapter 2685 True Appearance of Desolate Martial

Heaven and Earth Academy, legacy ground.

In a cave abode, the decoration was simple and elegant, emitting a faint fragrance.

The cave abode was quiet and there was only a faint rustling sound occasionally. It was a beautiful woman sitting sideways with a piece of rice paper beside her. She held a brush and was focused on painting.

The woman was completely immersed in the painting and her eyes were clear as water.

A snow-white butterfly landed on the woman's shoulder and flapped its wings gently.

One person, one butterfly, one brush and one painting.

This scene was a flawless painting to begin with!

After an unknown period of time, the woman heaved a sigh of relief and broke free from the painting before her.

"Didn't you already decide not to think about him? Why are you still drawing that person?"

Suddenly, the snow-white butterfly spoke in human language and asked crisply.

On the painting, there was only a human figure with black hair and purple robes. Just by standing with his hands behind his back, he exuded a powerful aura!

Even through the paper, one could sense the pressure he gave off!

However, there was something strange about the black-haired, purple-robed man in the painting. There was only a pair of deep eyes on his face that burned with mysterious purple flames.

Apart from that pair of eyes, no other facial features were drawn.

Even so, if this painting was taken out, most of the cultivators at the Nine Firmament Meet would be able to recognize at a glance that the person on the painting was Desolate Martial of the Fiend Domain!

When she heard the snow-white butterfly's question, the woman lowered her head slightly and fell silent.

After a while, she raised her head. "Before the Nine Firmament Meet, I had just comprehended the Fiend figure of the Divine Ghost Immortal Fiend Diagram and was able to advance to the Paradise Void realm of the Perfected One realm."

"So?"

The snow-white butterfly was puzzled and asked again, "I've never understood why you skipped the Ghost and Immortal figures to comprehend the Fiend figure first when you've already comprehended the God figure."

The woman extended her slender hand and placed it on the painting in front of her. Gradually, her fingers brushed past the blank face of Desolate Martial of the Fiend Domain and a moving expression flashed through her beautiful eyes.

"This should have been a cold silver mask."

The woman said slowly, "I met him once more at the Nine Firmament Meet. Perhaps I can use the Dharmic Dao of the Fiend figure to comprehend his eyes and eventually draw his true appearance."

"Huh?"

The snow-white butterfly was slightly surprised and asked, "You can draw the true appearance of Desolate Martial of the Fiend Domain?"

"I'm not sure either."

The woman shook her head gently and paused for a moment before saying, "However, I have a sense of déjà vu about his eyes. I should be able to give it a try."

"That's great!"

The snow-white butterfly said excitedly, "I'm curious as well. What does Desolate Martial look like under his mask?"

"Could it be because he has a green face, fangs and looks fierce? Maybe that's why he's wearing a mask to cover himself because he's afraid of scaring people."

"Maybe."

The woman chuckled as well.

The snow-white butterfly continued, "By the way, if we can draw his appearance and tear the painting apart, won't we be able to condense him?"

"No."

The woman shook her head. "His Dharmic Dao is way too mysterious and I can't draw it."

In the woman's heart, even if she could draw it, she did not want to do so.

In her heart, Desolate Martial of the Fiend Domain had an extremely special status. She did not want this painting to become a Dharmic treasure and weapon that could be torn apart at any moment.

The woman took a deep breath and her brush hovered above the face of the figure in the painting before closing her eyes.

She sensed the Dharmic Dao of the Fiend figure and recalled her two encounters with Desolate Martial of the Fiend Domain as well as his eyes that burned with purple flames. With that, she followed a strange feeling in her heart.

The brush in the woman's hand finally landed and she drew gently on the painting.

…

The teleportation formation of the academy.

Su Zimo sent Tao Yao and Liu Ping to the teleportation formation and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the two of them leave Heaven and Earth Academy.

The moment Su Zimo walked out of the teleportation hall, two figures sped over not far away and descended before him in the blink of an eye.

Su Zimo looked up.

The two of them were Gu Yue and Mu Shan, two Dao children of the Sect Master of the Academy. He had only seen them once.

"Senior Brother Su, follow us to Heaven and Earth Palace immediately. The Sect Master has been waiting for a long time."

Gu Yue cupped his fists slightly.

Su Zimo had a calm expression and was not surprised by this scene.

Initially, he wanted to bid farewell to Yang Ruoxu and Princess Scarlet Rainbow. From the looks of it, he probably had no chance.

"Go on."

Su Zimo waved it off and said indifferently.

When Gu Yue and Mu Shan saw that Su Zimo did not seem to notice anything, they exchanged glances and smiled meaningfully.

The three of them made their way towards Heaven and Earth Palace.

Gu Yue smiled. "Senior Brother Su, I didn't expect you to advance to the Perfected One realm so quickly. Congratulations."

"Indeed."

Mu Shan smiled as well. "Do allow us to keep you in suspense, Senior Brother Su. There's another huge opportunity awaiting you now that you've become a Perfected Immortal."

Su Zimo smiled without saying anything.

Before long, the three of them arrived in the depths of the academy and arrived at Heaven and Earth Palace.

As though it sensed the arrival of the three of them, the clouds in midair gathered and a cloud bridge appeared that led to Heaven and Earth Palace.

The three of them stepped onto the cloud bridge and entered the main hall in the blink of an eye.

Immortal qi lingered in the hall as a figure sat on a cushion and hovered in midair, faintly discernible.

After Gu Yue and Mu Shan brought Su Zimo over, they returned to the back of the figure and stood on both sides with their hands by their sides.

Suddenly, two balls of blazing light lit up in the fog of immortal qi!

Under the cover of the two lights, the Sect Master of the Academy's figure became incomparably clear.

The Sect Master of the Academy wore a green Confucian robe and sat upright. His forehead was abnormally broad and his eyes were like the starry skies as he looked at Su Zimo not far away with a satisfied expression.

"Greetings, Master."

Su Zimo stepped forward and bowed.

The Sect Master of the Academy nodded slightly. "Not bad, not bad. To think that your cultivation realm would break through after the Nine Firmament Meet and you've already entered the Perfected One realm!"

Suddenly, the eyes of the Sect Master of the Academy turned deep and vast with a glint in them. "If I'm not wrong, your Green Lotus True Body should have grown to the peak of Grade 12 as well."

"Yes."

Su Zimo nodded with a calm expression.

Naturally, such a thing could not be hidden from the Sect Master of the Academy.

The Sect Master of the Academy smiled gently. "Zimo, how has the academy treated you all these years?"

"Very well."

Su Zimo said, "Back in the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range, if not for the academy taking me in, I would have died. Over the years, whenever anything happened, the academy dealt with it fairly as well."

The Sect Master of the Academy nodded and asked again, "How have I treated you?"

Su Zimo took a deep breath of air. "Master, you saved me once. Back when I condensed the tenth step of the Dao Heart Stairs, you even accepted me as an in-name disciple and thought highly of me."

"That's right."

The Sect Master of the Academy had a gratified expression. "The fact that you said those words proves that I didn't misjudge you. My efforts weren't in vain."
