Chapter 2943: Retouching
the Soul-Binding Pearl.Surrounded by three bone-eating apes was a horse, covered in green scales from head to tail and with a lithe physique. It was somewhat similar to the scaled steeds described in...After leaving the underground fairy mansion, Lu Xia Tian estimated that he had walked tens of thousands of miles. Along the way, he encountered some dangers, but compared to the formidable existence like Xuzhu Yao Xian, they were relatively easy to deal with. They were just some fairyland monsters, and he met two demons along the way, naturally not missing them.
All the way down, not only has the Heavenly Demon Lord transformed his internal magic power into demonic energy and refined his magical treasures into ferociously abnormal magic weapons, but even the Fire Cloud Monster, after practicing in the Nascent Soul realm for many years, has once again cultivated to the Great Ascension realm. And under the constant washing of fairy spirit qi, the Fire Cloud Monster also began to gradually approach the level of immortals.
The Firecloud Demon and the Heaven-Reaching Demon Lord were ancient monsters from the same era. Both had endured hardships, and the Firecloud Demon's situation was even more tragic than that of the Heaven-Reaching Demon Lord. At least after the Heaven-Reaching Demon Lord fell into adversity, his strength, although unable to compare with those in the Great Accomplishment stage for a long time, was still enough to crush ordinary Nascent Soul stage powerhouses. He had stirred up chaos in the chaotic demon domain for many years. It wasn't until Lu Xia Tian entered the late stage of the Nascent Soul that he began to gain the upper hand in his confrontations with the Heaven-Reaching Demon Lord.

In contrast to the Fire Cloud Monster, when Lu Xiaoteng encountered the Fire Cloud Monster on the edge of the chaotic demon domain, he was left with only a pair of eyeballs. Later, after painstakingly cultivating to the Nascent Soul realm, he went to the Star Region and almost perished under Ye Qianxun's hands. He was only able to recover his cultivation thanks to the auxiliary lotus of Chizi Youlian.
All these hardships had already made the Heavenly Demon Lord and Fire Cloud Monster's hearts as hard as iron. Once they arrived at Muye, after each received a chance encounter, their cultivation began to soar rapidly. Especially the Fire Cloud Monster, ever since he rebuilt his cultivation back to the Great Ascension Realm, having climbed from the bottom up, he always grasped opportunities better.

While maintaining his human form, absorbing the essence of fairy spirits and refining dragon yuan is far less efficient than when he reverts to his dragon body. Relying solely on a halberd against enemies makes one's combat methods relatively simplistic. If the number of confrontations with enemies increases, unless one’s strength can completely overpower the opponent, there is a risk that the enemy will find a targeted way to counter their attacks.
When Huoyun Monster and Tongtian Demon Lord were making rapid progress, Lu Xiaoteng was not idle either. He continuously used fairy spirit to irrigate the鎮妖塔 (Tower of Suppression), the ancient Buddha seal and relic.
Xianling's aura surrounded her, seeping into her body from outside. The Demon Suppressing Pagoda resonated with the sound of Buddhist chants. Back then, the Bodhi Moon lingered peacefully in a sea of Buddha light, sleeping soundly.
After absorbing enough fairy spirit energy, the Demon Suppression Pagoda seemed to reach a state of fullness. The fairy spirit energy was transmitted to the relic, and the seven relics, which emitted a pale golden glow, gradually turned colorless and merged into his skeletal structure. In an instant, Lu Xia Tian felt that there seemed to be something inexplicable and indescribable in his body. It seemed to be a powerful force, and it also seemed to be a mysterious realm.
That peculiar feeling resided between the realm of illusion and reality. Bones within seemed to melt away like relics, as if about to become intangible. Yet, at a certain point in this transformation, the bones gradually became transparent, temporarily halting further change.

"This is the state of a boneless relic" Many moments later, Lu Xiaocen emerged from this illusionary and real world. From one perspective it appears as a ridge, from another, as a peak. Even for the same thing, the same person, viewed from different angles will see myriad variations. In the eyes of different people, it becomes even more strange and unique.
Although Shi Xingkong inherited the mantle, it was only a general direction. Each realm is experienced differently by individuals. The descriptions of these realms become increasingly abstract and vague as one progresses. Even Lu Xia Tian couldn't be entirely certain if he had reached the state of Wu Gu She Li or merely grazed its surface.
After a moment, Lu Xia Tian shook his head. The length of an immortal's path is but a finger's reach when attained, yet it may be as vast as the heavens if unachieved. The distance between them is either within grasp or impossibly far. There was no real need to consider Shi Xing Kong's lineage and how deeply he had cultivated.
The aura of fairy spirits around them was gradually diminishing. Continuing his cultivation here held little meaning for Lu Xia Tian anymore. However, the Huo Yun Monster's consumption during cultivation was far less than Lu Xia Tian's, and Tong Tian Mo Jun had plundered several magical beings to obtain resources for cultivation. At this time, it wasn't much of an issue.
The enhancement of the two people's abilities also helped Lu Xia Tian significantly. Even if Huoyun Monster couldn't offer much help in terms of battling technique for the time being, as long as it dragged less on their progress, it would be a huge help.
Lu Xia Tian’s palm flipped, and a somewhat damaged landscape painting of bamboo forest appeared in his hand. Although the painting looked rather dilapidated, the damage wasn't severe. Lu Xia Tian had personally experienced the power of this painting. After a period of fleeing and cultivation, he naturally wanted to see if there was any way to repair it.

This Mountains and Rivers Bamboo Forest Diagram was not cultivated by the Xu Zhu Yao Xian himself. There wasn't much of the Xu Zhu Yao Xian's aura left in it. After Lu Xia Tian repeatedly checked the diagram with his divine sense, he found that the damage to the diagram wasn't caused by a battle with him or his Dragon Element injuring it.
But the Bixue Bamboo Demon Fairy used her life essence to forcefully activate the remaining vestiges of power within the Mountain River Bamboo Forest Diagram. This caused the Mountain River Bamboo Forest Diagram to injure its own vitality, resulting in its dilapidated appearance.
To restore this landscape painting of mountains, rivers, and bamboo forest to its former glory would be simple enough—all it would take is to replenish its vital energy. However, recognizing the extraordinary nature of this painting, Lu Xia Tian naturally wouldn't want to simply repair it in such a haphazard manner. If he could harness its power reasonably, he believed it could surpass the abilities it displayed while in the hands of the Zhu bamboo demon fairy.

Lu Xiaoteng repeatedly examined this landscape painting of mountains, rivers, and bamboo groves several times. He focused his spiritual consciousness into the painting, sensing that it seemed to be a separate, distinct space within itself. The mountains and waters were intertwined, with swathes of bamboo forest. However, many places appeared to have suffered damage to their spiritual essence. It seemed that if this were visited one or two more times, the bamboo groves and landscapes within the painting would cease to exist.
The mountains and rivers here were still fine. Lu Xia Tian cultivated to this level, feeling that his own artistic conception of mountains and rivers was quite similar to the paintings. Lu Xia Tian's artistic conception sank into it, and the dilapidated mountains and rivers in it gradually showed signs of healing, but the withered patches of purple bamboo forest remained motionless.
Lu Xiaoteng's mind moved, and he took out the section of bamboo root left by Xu Zhu Yao Xian after her fall. Before he could make a move, he sensed a longing for this bamboo root from within the picture.
The bamboo root within indeed possessed a powerful essence, but for now, it served little purpose in Lu Xia Tian's hand. Thus, following the intent of this painting, he used a wisp of immortal energy to roll the bamboo root into the picture.
Suddenly, a melodious and vibrant sound of music echoed within the painting. The once wilting purple bamboo sprang back to life with renewed vigor. The roots of the bamboo seemed to share the very essence of the bamboo grove depicted in the painting. Drawn by an invisible force, they transformed into a streak of light and plunged into the heart of the mountain within the painting.
After a while, in the place where some purple bamboos had withered before, new tender shoots of purple bamboo sprouted again on the bare and broken rocks.
