Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All



After watching for a long time, Shangguan Yun'er suddenly felt that something was different.

The bird in the painting seemed to have come alive. It was clearly not moving, but Shangguan Yun'er could feel an inexplicable trace of vitality.

Soon after, she smelled the fragrance of flowers and heard the chirping of birds. Shangguan Yun'er was momentarily entranced.

However, in the next moment, someone patted Shangguan Yun'er's shoulder gently.

Shangguan Yun'er finally regained her senses. She looked at the youth in front of her, still wearing that signature smile.

When she looked at the painting again, there were no birds or flowers.

Shangguan Yun'er's eyes were filled with astonishment. Dong Xi said, "Madam, do you understand the mystery of this painting?"

"Is this an illusion?" Shangguan Yun'er nodded.

Shangguan Yun'er had never left the house before, nor had she encountered any danger. She had only heard about the illusory realm from the maids and others in the residence. Today was the first time she had experienced it personally.

"That's right. A painter is not the same as a powerful art cultivator. A brilliant painter can not only confuse people with his paintings, but also create a world with them," Dong Xi nodded and said.

Shangguan Yun'er's mouth was wide open in shock. She had never mentioned this before.

"Is painting really that powerful?" asked Shangguan Yun'er.

Seeing the hope hidden in Shangguan Yun'er's eyes, Dong Xi nodded.

"Of course it is. I've never lied to my wife," said Dong Xi.

When Shangguan Yun'er heard Dong Xi's words, she seemed to have made a decision. Raising her head to look at Dong Xi, Shangguan Yun'er said firmly, "I will definitely paint more in the future."

"Alright, wait for us to come back from the Secret Realm," said Dong Xi with a smile.

When Shangguan Yun'er heard this, she frowned and looked at Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun'er wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Madam, what's wrong?" Dong Xi asked with concern. "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Shangguan Yun'er looked at Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun'er said, "Are you leaving after coming back from the Secret Realm?"

Shangguan Yun'er knew that Dong Xi was not a member of the Void Sea and would leave sooner or later.

Dong Xi did not lie to Shangguan Yun'er, and said frankly that if she found the Deep Sea Extreme Ice, she would leave.

"That's right. I'll leave once I find the item I want," said Dong Xi.

"Then what do you want?" Shangguan Yun'er asked. "What was it? Perhaps my father can help you."

"The item is in the Secret Realm." Dong Xi shook her head.

Shangguan Yun'er thought for a moment and said, "I told my father that I shouldn't go in with you. The item you're looking for must be very important. I don't have much ability yet. If I go, you'll have to protect me. You've helped me so much. I really don't want to…" I'll drag you down."

Seeing Shangguan Yun'er blaming herself, Dong Xi could not help but laugh. Holding Shangguan Yun'er's hand, Dong Xi said, "Madam, don't worry. I've already promised Father-In-Law that I'll definitely have a way to protect you."

Dong Xi's tone was calm, as if she was going to say it later. However, after Shangguan Yun'er heard it, her agitated mood calmed down.

Their eyes met. Shangguan Yun'er saw Dong Xi's eyes shining like the stars in the sky.

What kind of husband would such a woman find in the future?

A person like Dong Xi should be standing at the top of the cultivation world, receiving the admiration of everyone. Who knew who could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Dong Xi at that time?

Of course, this had nothing to do with Shangguan Yun'er.

This morning, Dong Xi had just woken up from his meditative state when she sensed the spiritual energy fluctuation on the communication jade slip.

Dong Xi took out the jade slip and looked at it. It was a message from Xiao Han.

[Boss, there's a big order. Someone bought two spots and offered 120,000 top-grade spirit stones!]

When Dong Xi saw this message, she instantly woke up.

What the hell! 120,000? And top-grade spirit stones?

The people of the Void Sea were indeed very rich.

"Do you know who the buyer is? Do you need protection?" Dong Xi asked immediately.

"She's from the Shangguan family. She doesn't need protection," Xiao Han replied immediately.

Dong Xi was speechless.

Very good, the fertile water should not flow into others' fields.

"Is there anyone else who wants to sell the quota?" Dong Xi asked through voice chat.

"Yes," Xiao Han replied immediately. "There are 11 people so far."

Dong Xi immediately narrowed her eyes and started to think.

Eleven people meant 11 invitation stones. Each person had five spots, which meant 66 spots.

He did not know how many invitation stones were given to the mythical realm this time. One more person entering meant one more competitor.

No, I still have to ask Father-In-Law.

At this moment, Xiao Han sent a voice message saying, "Boss, these people need our protection, but this shop has just opened..."

"What?" Dong Xi said through voice chat. "Is it because you don't have enough manpower?"
