Chapter 523

"Bejewelled nectar! Good stuff! Wow, this should be the best quality immortal treasure stones in the dojo! "

Everyone exclaimed. Seeing that the liquid was about to be wasted, the gluttonous white ape immediately jumped down from Gu Chen's shoulder, picked up the two halves of the stone, and gulped it down.

"This bejewelled nectar is good, but the body can't take it if it's drunk directly. Frined Gu, stop your spirit beast!"

Ding Yao quickly reminded.

"It's okay, let it drink."

Gu Chen said indifferently. With the white ape's physique, this bejewelled nectar was nothing. It couldn't possibly make it explode.

"Hahaha, it's indeed a top quality immortal treasure stone. Everyone, you've all missed it!"

Xiao Jing was the one who lost the most valuable stone, but he laughed and teased everyone.

Gu Chen glanced at him and had a better understanding of this person's temperament.

This guy knew from the beginning that the immortal treasure stone in his hand was the most valuable on this table, but he pretended to be disgusted and tried to trade with everyone.

According to his original plan, he should have waited for everyone to reject him, then he would cut open his own stone and ruthlessly mock everyone for being blind.

However, he didn't expect that Gu Chen would see some clues through his Purple Polar Pupils and agree to trade with him. This greatly discounted his original plan.

Even though he didn't get the bejewelled nectar in the end, Xiao Jing was actually happy to see the others' annoyed expressions.

"This person is indeed disgusting."

Gu Chen finally understood why everyone felt disgusted and disgusted when they saw Xiao Jing earlier. This guy thought too highly of himself and liked to play with people's hearts.

"Alright everyone, the immortal treasure stone is just a small toy. Just have fun. The Old Man will now officially set the question."

Penglai Island Master coughed twice, and the huge dojo instantly quieted down.

Even though most of the cultivators only got trash, Penglai Island Master's unique gift still won everyone's favor.

"Everyone, look carefully. This is the question that the Old Man will set this year!"

Penglai Island Master waved his big sleeve, and a landscape painting fell from the sky from the top of Penglai Pavilion and spread out slowly.

There were mountains, rivers, trees, and flowers in the scroll. Almost all of the natural scenery was included in it.

The style of the painting was fresh and natural. Every blade of grass, tree, and stone looked vivid and lifelike, as if it was another world.

"This Landscape of Returning to Nature Painting was obtained by the Old Man by chance. Everything in it is constantly circulating and contains the true meaning of nature."

"Today's question is very simple. The artistic conception of the Landscape of Returning to Truth Painting is extraordinary. Whoever can enter the painting and comprehend the most magical techniques will be rewarded by the Old Man."

"Only one person can receive the reward. This year's reward will definitely not disappoint everyone!"

Penglai Island Master explained the rules with a smile.

"Learning spells from paintings?"

The cultivators in the Dao Sanctum were in a heated discussion. Many of them revealed looks of disappointment. The threshold for this year's questions was quite high.

Even with a secret manual, one might not be able to easily cultivate a spell, let alone just by looking at the painting and comprehending it. This required an extremely high aptitude and perception.

Penglai Island Master had always cherished talents, and this year was no exception.

Hearing this rule, the experienced cultivators with profound strength lost their advantage. After all, aptitude and perception had nothing to do with age!

"Island Master, how can we be sure that the spells we comprehend come from the painting and not from the ones we already know?"

Xiao Jing who was sitting at Gu Chen's table asked with a chuckle.

"Good question. Don't worry. The Landscape of Returning to Nature Painting has a spirit. You only need to enter the painting and comprehend it. If you can't, you will be teleported out."

"The longer you stay in the world in the painting, the higher your perception is, and the more spiritual spells you can comprehend."

After Penglai Island Master finished his words, many cultivators fell into deep thought.

In that case, the most important thing was to stay in the world of the painting for a longer time. As for this spell, there was no need to comprehend anything profound. Even if he only comprehended a small spell, he would be able to stay in the painting for a longer time.

After understanding this, everyone became eager to give it a try.

Penglai Island Master's reward was not only attractive, but the Landscape of Returning to Nature Painting was so mysterious that it would be beneficial for them to comprehend it.

"Haha! Guys, I'm going to get the reward of the island master this year!"

After hearing the rules, Xiao Jing said confidently to the core disciples of the major immortal factions.

"Humph! The Tiandao Sect's Grand Evolution Dao 94 is indeed powerful and has an innate advantage in this aspect, but don't underestimate us."

The disciples of the other factions were not convinced, but they were confident in their sects' inheritances.

"It's a pity for Frined Gu. It's rare for you to come to the Ocean-Sky Feast, but the rules are so disadvantageous to you."

Wang Qian looked at Gu Chen with sympathy, and the others had the same thought.

Everyone knew that the Gu Clan took the path of cultivating the Supreme Tyrant Body. Compared to cultivating spells, they spent most of their time developing their own divine abilities.

Therefore, the competition to comprehend spiritual spells was too disadvantageous for them.

"There are gains and losses. Frined Gu already has the Bejeweled Nectar, and we can't be too greedy."

Xiao Jing said sarcastically. Everyone knew that the value of the Bejeweled Nectar couldn't be compared with the reward of the Penglai Island Master.

"We haven't competed yet. Who knows the result?"

Facing the pity and mockery from the others, Gu Chen smiled casually.

The others thought that he was being stubborn and ignored him. They walked toward the Landscape of Returning to Nature Painting hanging in front of the Penglai Pavilion.

Almost at the same time, many rainbows flew up from the Daoist Plaza and entered the painting.

Once they entered the painting, they turned into small figures, which was very strange.

Then, some people were thrown out the moment they entered the painting, and their hair was disheveled. Some of them struggled for more than ten seconds before escaping in embarrassment, but they looked like they had comprehended something.

The first few groups of people were mostly cultivators from small factions and independent cultivators. Among them, those who could comprehend one or two spiritual spells from the painting were considered powerful.

Gu Chen saw Zhuang Fan and his companions. They had entered the Landscape of Returning to Nature Painting together, but they were all thrown out in a short while.

Cultivators of the Immortal-Realm, Heavenly Mortal Realm, and higher realms were all thrown out in a short time. Soon, everyone realized that in the Landscape of Returning to Nature Painting, cultivation strength didn't have any advantage.

Although there were many cultivators here, only a few of them were talented. Soon, most of them tried and failed.

The young independent cultivator with the best result was actually a young independent cultivator. He stayed in the painting for one hour and comprehended as many as 78 spiritual spells.

When he came out of the painting, the Penglai Island Master glanced at him a little longer.

In the end, only Gu Chen's table and the other two tables hadn't made a move yet. Those who hadn't made a move were either core disciples of the 68 Immortal Sects or geniuses from famous big forces.
