Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All

Shangguan Yun’er frowned, somewhat confused. Was Dong Xi too immersed in her character, and really thought that she was a man?

Shangguan Yun’er also hoped that Dong Xi was a man. If Dong Xi was really a man, how good would it be?

Dong Xi sensed Shangguan Yun’er’s uneasiness. She withdrew her hand and looked at the painting. Dong Xi said, “Madam, drawing a person is not only about the posture of the person, but more importantly…”

As she spoke, Dong Xi raised her hand and pointed at the painting. Dong Xi continued,”It’s this pair of eyes.”

After Dong Xi left, Shangguan Yun’er did not continue painting. She sat on the chair and pondered over Dong Xi’s words. The eyes of everyone she had seen during these days flashed through her mind.

There were smart ones, tired ones, kind ones, fierce ones, numb ones…

When the sky was dark and the temperature was getting colder, Little Yue propped up a formation and said, “Miss, we should go back. It’s very cold at night. Even if there’s a formation here, your body won’t be able to withstand it.”

Shangguan Yun’er immediately came back to her senses. Shangguan Yun’er said, “Alright, I’ll go back now.”

The Void Sea was still very lively at night. There was no rule in the cultivation world that the sun would set. Cultivators could go into seclusion for more than ten years and stay outside for half a month without feeling tired.

Although the weather was getting colder at night, everyone’s clothes were much thicker.

When they were about to approach the Shangguan Residence, a shiny object fell on Shangguan Yun’er’s body. The moment Shangguan Yun’er raised her hand to touch it, the snowflakes melted.

A voice came from not far away. “It’s snowing! It’s actually snowing! I didn’t expect to see snow in the Void Sea.”

Shangguan Yun’er looked over and found that it was two female cultivators talking. Their eyes were shining and they were very beautiful.

Shangguan Yun’er was deep in thought, but she quickly put away her thoughts and walked home.

That night, Shangguan Yun’er tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Shangguan Yun’er sighed lightly, put on her shoes, walked to the window, and opened it.

It was already a vast expanse of whiteness outside. A gust of cold wind blew, but it was blocked by the Daoist robe.

Shangguan Yun’er was also very happy. She had lived for so many years, but she had never seen such a scene. Today, the Void Sea seemed to have changed.

He recalled Dong Xi’s words, the eyes of the two female cultivators, and Dong Xi’s expression at that time.

Shangguan Yun’er closed her eyes. For some reason, all kinds of eyes appeared in her mind. Finally, they fused into a pair of narrow and long eyes that were very firm.

Shangguan Yun’er let out a breath and sat in front of the table to draw a picture.

The person in the painting stood on the crystal paper. There were countless wind blades behind him, and his hair danced in the wind.

There was no flaunting of skills, nor was there any deliberate sculpting. Shangguan Yun’er was just drawing the picture in her heart.

After thinking for a moment, Shangguan Yun’er picked up her brush again and drew the eyes of the person in the painting.

…

The meditating Shangguan Patriarch suddenly opened his eyes and his body slowly dissipated.

Soon after, Shangguan Patriarch appeared outside Shangguan Yun’er’s room and said, “Virtuous Son-In-Law, Yun’er, are you two asleep?”

Hearing the noise outside, Shangguan Yun’er hurriedly went to open the door. Shangguan Yun’er said, “Father.”

Shangguan Patriarch sized up Shangguan Yun’er. He widened his eyes and said, “Yun’er, you’re… Stepping into the Dao?”

Shangguan Yun’er was stunned when she heard what her father said. Shangguan Yun’er did not feel anything.

She even thought that today would be the same as every other day, except for the snow.

Shangguan Patriarch took out the Spirit Testing Stone and said excitedly, “Yun’er, hurry up and give it a try.”

Shangguan Yun’er nodded and put his hand on it.

The Spirit Testing Stone gave off a faint light. Shangguan Patriarch smiled and said, “It’s true, it’s true! Yun’er, you’ve stepped into the Dao!”

People who had already drawn into the Dao cultivated differently from other cultivators. If they wanted to cultivate, they could not absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Instead, they relied on painting to cultivate.

Whether it was receiving sincere praise from others or gaining enlightenment from the painting, these were all helpful to those who had already stepped into the Dao.

This was almost the same as the wish power of Buddhist cultivators, where faith transformed into spiritual power.

Just as the father and daughter were happy, Shangguan Patriarch looked around the room and said, “Yun’er, why don’t I see my Son-In-Law here? Where did he go?”

Shangguan Yun’er was stunned. She did noto know that Dong Li had never spent the night with Shangguan Yun’er.

It was just that her father had never asked about it in the past, and Shangguan Yun’er had never told him about it.
