Chapter 761: Absolutely Impossible

They were still able to last for another two more months because there were still five God’s Sob Elixirs. Therefore, Jiang Yi was not in a rush. Every night, he would cultivate his essence force; and when he woke up in the morning, he would accompany Feng Luan, Qing Yu, Jiang Xiaonu, and others. Afterward, he would practice his painting. Currently, he no longer tried to draw up a celestial painting meticulously. Rather, he drew it in a bold and imaginative manner as he tried to improve his drawing skills. During the afternoon, he would rest for two hours before he continued to cultivate his essence force and comprehend the dao patterns or sorcery arts.

He spent his day dully. Jiang Xiaonu rested for half a month and continued her seclusion. She understood that the stronger she was, the more she would be able to help Jiang Yi; and the pressure on Jiang Yi’s shoulder wouldn’t be so heavy as well.

Qian Wanguan had also gone into seclusion. He had comprehended the soul spirit dao pattern shard to its final crucial moment. His strength would reach the peak stage of the Vajra Realm if he was able to fully comprehend it. Although this bit of strength was extremely useless to Jiang Yi, it was still able to prolong his lifespan. Furthermore, everyone had either gone into seclusion or was just idling; and he was unoccupied as well.

Jiang Yi’s essence force cultivated very quickly. Unfortunately, there was no progress for his dao pattern comprehension. Moreover, he had no idea how to fuse three low-grade dao patterns together. On the contrary, his Myriad Clone had somewhat improved once again. He was already able to create 500 clones.

“Forget it. It’s good enough since this sorcery art has reached this level. There’s no more meaning in creating any more clones!”

Twenty days later, Jiang Yi decided to comprehend the Heaven-Extinguishing Inferno sorcery art. If he was able to refine the Nine Yang True Flames, he could incinerate the peak-stage Heaven Monarchs once he had cultivated this sorcery art to its peak. All these years, Jiang Yi had never once stopped comprehending this sorcery art. Unfortunately, the improvement was very slow, and he was only able to produce Earth Fire currently.

While Jiang Yi cultivated his essence force, he would comprehend his Heaven-Extinguishing Inferno sorcery art. He spent his day comfortable and enrichingly. He forced himself to forget about Su Ruoxue and Yi Piaopiao. Once he thought of these two most important women in his life, his heart would be in pain. His mind would become extremely chaotic and would no longer be able to cultivate. Furthermore, it would only get worse over time.

A month passed by in the blink of an eye. It was a full-moon night, and God’s Sob had arrived as expected. All of them gathered together once again. This time, Qian Wanguan and Qing Yu no longer acted foolishly and consumed the God Sob’s Elixir prematurely. The Yazi Beast and Golden Flood Dragon had also done so immediately. Jiang Xiaonu carried little fox, Xiao Fei, and sat beside Jiang Yi quietly. The latter sat down within the hall and cope with the God’s Sob soul spirit attack with full concentration.

Nothing happened out of the expectation!

Jiang Yi persevered for four hours. This time, the main soul spirit had split out another three soul swords, and the total number of soul swords within his soul spirit seas had reached as many as 42. During that period of time, he had also released his Divine Perception to probe the origin of the strange voice. However, he still ended up empty-handed. It seemed as if it was really the sobbing of gods and was a soul spirit attack that was formed naturally.

Hoo-Hoo!

After withstanding against the soul spirit attack wholeheartedly for four hours. Jiang Yi was terribly exhausted and had rested for an hour before opening up his eyes. He only grew relaxed when he saw everyone was perfectly fine behind him.

“Boss…”

Suddenly, Qian Wanguan transmitted a message over: “Can we go into a room for a moment?”

“Uh?”

Jiang Yi blinked his eyes in puzzlement. He stood up and dispersed everyone before entering his room with Qian Wanguan.

“Boss!” Qian Wanguan activated the room’s restriction the moment they entered. In addition, he transmitted a message: “The God’s Sob Elixirs are too expensive. How about… doing that to the Golden Flood Dragon and Yazi Beast?”

“That?”

Jiang Yi furrowed his eyebrows, and his complexion grew heavy. He shook his head and replied, “Wanguan, the Golden Flood Dragon and Yazi Beast might be demonic beasts and are my spirit beasts. However, it’s absolutely impossible if you want me to kill them.”

“I’m not asking you to kill them!”

Qian Wanguan rolled his eyes and explained, “I meant returning their freedom and also arranging a Heaven Fate Ship for them in order to send them out of Sin Island. After all, there’s not much meaning for them to follow us. Not only would they implicate us, but they would also implicate themselves.”

“Oh, okay!”

Jiang Yi’s complexion turned somewhat better. The Golden Flood Dragon and Yazi Beast were his spirit beasts. After associating with each other for so long, there were sentiments between them. It was especially so for the Yazi Beast. Although its current strength was pitifully feeble and had no usefulness to them, Jiang Yi had never once thought of abandoning it before.

“Return them their freedom, send them off?”

Jiang Yi thought over it and replied, “It’s better for the Yazi Beast to continue following us. I will ask the Golden Flood Dragon about it. If he wishes to leave, I will return him his soul imprint. After that, you will arrange a Heaven Fate Ship for it.”

“Alright! I will get the Golden Flood Dragon here.”

Qian Wanguan nodded his head helplessly. In fact, he knew it would end like that. Jiang Yi valued loyalty. He could be ruthless to his enemies, but he was willing to extract his viscera out just for his people.

“Golden Flood Dragon!”

Qian Wanguan called the Golden Flood Dragon over, and Jiang Yi spoke bluntly, “I’m giving you two choices. First, continue to follow me, and if someday I ever make it big, I will never treat you unfairly. Second, I will return you your freedom and will arrange a Heaven Fate Ship to send you out of Sin Island.”

The Golden Flood Dragon was startled as it didn’t expect for Jiang Yi to return his freedom so soon. He lowered his head and contemplated for a very long time. Ultimately, he shook his head, “Young Master, I will continue to follow you. My cultivation speed had increased a lot in this Gods Bestow City.”

“Good! Continue to defend us from the outside.”

Jiang Yi patted on the Golden Flood Dragon’s shoulder and sent him out. Qian Wanguan pinched his glabella painstakingly while Jiang Yi grinned. “Wanguan, don’t worry. Lately, my painting skill has somewhat improved. In a few days, I will paint some high-standard Heaven Paintings for you. You can take it out to sell.”

“En!”

Qian Wanguan nodded his head and walked out to discuss with Feng Luan the details on the selling of the paintings. Meanwhile, Jiang Yi went into another room. He turned spirited after he had just talked about painting. He intended to try it out today to see if he could produce some good paintings.

Originally, Qing Yu wanted to grind the ink. However, Jiang Yi waved his hand, signaling for her to not approach him. The quality of his painting wouldn’t be anywhere good if he was to draw like a machine previously. He would need to put his feelings into it if he wished to produce a good painting.

In fact, this was no different from singing or playing any instrument. If one would do it in a mechanical way, one would only be able to sing or play an outstanding tune regardless of how great one’s skill was. However, if one could put one’s feelings into doing it, one would be giving life to the song or tune. It would sound like the voice of nature even though one’s skill was somewhat lacking.

He held onto the brush with a single hand, but he didn’t start painting. Rather, he shut his eyes but did not enter into the Union of Heaven and Man state. He stood down there quietly as a series of images appeared in his head.

“Mother…”

Firstly, an absolute benevolent beauty appeared within his mind. He recalled the words Yi Piaopiao had left behind in the illusion using her divine ability: “My child, hello! I am Yi Piaopiao. Your incompetent mother. My child, if we are unable to meet each other in this lifetime, please don’t be sad. This is the destiny given to us by heaven… Mother will always love you, miss you, and think of you…”

The affectionate words reverberated out incessantly while Jiang Yi revealed a trace of deep yearning. During that moment, his hand lit up in blazing red essence force. Finally, he started moving his brush.

It was as if his brush had a spirit of its own as it moved like a wild snake. He specked and linked the dots together. After a few hooks and strokes, an absolute beauty appeared on the white paper. That young married woman didn’t give off too much of a breathtaking feeling and wouldn’t cause one to feel lusty. However, their heart would be stirred up once they took a glimpse at this drawing. It was especially so for that faint smile on the corner of the young married woman’s mouth. It seemed as if it would be able to treat anyone’s inner trauma.

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter!

It was unknown when Feng Luan and Qing Yu had appeared behind him. Both of them didn’t make any noise. At this moment, they had covered their mouth while their delicate body trembled slightly.

Both of their eyes were filled with sparkles while their tears trickled down like a small stream, which produced a slight noise when it dripped onto the ground. Both of them thought of their mother ineffably when they looked at this painting while recalling about their relatives that were staying in the Phoenix Cry Continent. It was as if this painting possessed an indescribable magical power that was able to evoke countless memories.
