Entered The World Inside The Painting!

After hearing Li Qingyang's words, King Qingyang or King Ningheng and the attending courtiers were stunned. The palace servants, neatly arranged on both sides to welcome Li Qingyang, were also shocked.

Li Qingyang was the number one expert in their Qingyang Kingdom. In fact, the kingdom itself was renamed "Qingyang" sixty years ago based on his name. He was the embodiment of faith for the entire Qingyang Kingdom. Everyone, from King Qingyang to the common people, knew him well. But now, Li Qingyang was slapping King Qingyang in front of everyone for the sake of a stranger.

Furthermore, if this stranger was a powerful expert in the God Transformation Realm, it could be understood. However, Su Zhan was only in the Core Yuan Realm!

The more King Ningheng thought about it, the more confused and angry he became. After all, he was the King of Qingyang, and being slapped in front of everyone was a great humiliation, making him a laughingstock in the eyes of the world!

If it weren't for Li Qingyang's strength, he would have confronted him right then and there!

"Senior Li! After all, I am the sovereign ruler of a nation! You—" King Ningheng started to speak.

"A sovereign ruler?" Li Qingyang sneered, "In Qingyang, I determine who becomes the king. At that time, I chose you. Have you really thought about yourself? Apologize to Young Master Su immediately!"

"I..." King Ningheng's blood vessels bulged on his forehead as he took a deep breath, bowing to Su Zhan, "I apologize for my rudeness, Young Master Su."

"It's alright. Take me to understand the Qingyang Sacred Diagram quickly. I don't want to waste time," Su Zhan replied indifferently.

"This..." King Ningheng looked towards Li Qingyang.

Li Qingyang said, "Young Master Su's words are my words. Whatever he commands you to do, you must do it!"

"Yes!"

King Ningheng's heart trembled, and he obediently lowered his head. As he looked at Su Zhan again, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Young Master Su, please follow me."

"Okay."

Su Zhan nodded and followed behind King Ningheng.

Soon, they arrived at a tightly guarded forbidden area within the royal palace. They passed through several gates inscribed with intricate formations until they reached a wide open space.

It was a circular area with a diameter of several hundred meters. There was no cover above, but even a slight mental perception could sense a strong barrier formation in the sky above.

The enclosed circular area was quite spacious. In the center stood a stone platform resembling an altar, and in front of the platform, a large painting, nearly ten meters high, floated in the air.

In the painting, there was nothing but a strange blue sun!

"Is this the Qingyang Sacred Diagram?" Su Zhan curiously looked at the painting but didn't sense anything special about it.

"Yes, I accidentally found it here. Later, I built a powerful meditation formation around it, making this place a site for understanding. In fact, one of the main reasons the royal palace was built here is because of the Qingyang Sacred Diagram. This item is the treasure of our Qingyang Kingdom and is kept in the most secure place in the Qingyang Kingdom!"

Li Qingyang reminisced with a nostalgic tone. "At that time, to understand this Qingyang Sacred Diagram, I..."

"That's enough. Let's not talk about past events. Tell me, how do we use this Qingyang Sacred Diagram?" Su Zhan waved his hand to interrupt and asked directly.

"Just stand on the stone platform, gaze at the Qingyang Sacred Diagram with both eyes, and you will enter the world inside the painting to comprehend it."

Li Qingyang paused for a moment and continued, "Of course, entering the painting takes time. For an ordinary genius, it takes about three months to enter the painting's world. Furthermore, to comprehend the Qingyang Devilfire Threads within the painting's world, it takes another three months. If someone wants to reach the level of visualizing the Emergence of Qingyang and Burning the Sky with Devilfire, it will take at least three years!

And that's just the initial understanding. The more someone understands the Qingyang Sacred Diagram, the stronger the manifested Qingyang Devilfire becomes. According to legend, once the Sacred Diagram is fully understood, the Qingyang Devilfire can directly burn the souls of enemies, killing them without a trace. It's extremely terrifying!"

"Very powerful?"

Curiously, Su Zhan asked, "Then, how long did it take you?"

"I have been comprehending the Qingyang Sacred Diagram for sixty years. I may have understood seventy percent of the diagram!

However, during those sixty years, it was beneficial to my spiritual strength. I dare say that in the entire Tiannan region, if we talk about spiritual strength, if I call myself second, no one would dare claim to be first!"

As those words fell, the scene of Su Zhan walking with his god-like aura still fresh in his mind, Qingyang added with a pressured tone, "Of course, that doesn't include Young Master Su!"

"Me?"

Su Zhan shook his head and smiled, "My spiritual power is weak. I haven't cultivated it specifically."

Your spiritual power is weak?

Hehe!

Weak to the point of being immune to my divine aura?

Li Qingyang felt annoyed in his heart but said,

"Young Master Su is too modest."

"I'm speaking the truth. By the way, let's not talk about that. Let me try how difficult it is to comprehend this Qingyang Sacred Diagram!"

Su Zhan said as he walked towards the stone platform.

"Senior Li, this Su Zhan..."

"Don't ask too many questions."

Li Qingyang glanced at King Ningheng, then looked at Su Zhan, gesturing towards the stone platform.

"What do you think? How long will it take for Young Master Su to enter the world of the painting?"

"Young Master Su has extraordinary talent. One month?"

King Ningheng hesitated and said, "Moreover, Senior Li took one month back then. Su Zhan has unparalleled talent in cultivation, but even if his talent in spiritual power is high, it shouldn't surpass Senior Li's, right?"

"It's hard to say."

Li Qingyang reminisced about his battle with Su Zhan, "His spiritual power is incredibly strong, or perhaps his soul is exceptional, and his determination is unshakable. If I'm not mistaken, he should be able to enter the world of the painting within ten days!"

"Ten days! How is that possible!"

King Ningheng was shocked and filled with disbelief.

"Ah! How could I, Li Qingyang, know about such abnormalities before going to the Yuntian Sword Sect?"

Li Qingyang sighed and saw that Su Zhan had already started pondering, so he waved his hand,

"Alright, don't disturb Young Master Su anymore. Let's go!"

"Yes!"

They both turned around and left.

At that moment...

Su Zhan, who had just focused his mind and understood the Qingyang Sacred Diagram, suddenly heard the system's voice in his mind.

"Ding! Achievement task 'First Spiritual Power Cultivation' completed, unlocking a new halo: [Protagonist Spiritual Power Halo]!"

[Protagonist Spiritual Power Halo]: As the protagonist, how can you be a cultivator with extraordinary physical strength but weak spiritual power? After activating this halo, you can quickly enter any spiritual condition left by powerful individuals, greatly increasing the speed of spiritual power cultivation and enhancing spiritual power talent!

Sure enough, it arrived.

Su Zhan smiled meaningfully. Just now, he was wondering if he would unlock a halo related to this aspect. Now it seems that his system is quite useful!

Spiritual Power Halo, activate!

Suddenly, Su Zhan felt his mind becoming clear, and his perception of the surroundings became sharper. His gaze focused on the painting.

Three seconds later, he entered the world inside the painting!
