Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Following the guidance in her heart, Qing Yurui finally arrived in front of a towering tree.

The tree was very tall, three or four times the size of the statue. It was so large that it could cover a dozen temples. However, no one knew how thick its trunk was, because the branches were covered with a dense network of aerial roots. Some of these roots were intertwined with the trunk, while others took root directly in the earth, becoming another tree. Still others were tiny aerial roots that floated in the air.

At this moment, the entire tree radiated a soft green light, vibrant with life, pure and immaculate. The tips of its swaying aerial roots shimmered with fluorescent light, brimming with vitality.

"Gudong~"

Qing Yurui swallowed hard. Although she already knew the Tree of Life was enormous, she hadn't realized it was so majestic, like a mountain.

At this moment, she was overwhelmed with emotion, feeling as if she were floating on clouds, so unreal and unbelievable.

After a long while, a thought struck her, and a paintbrush appeared in her hand, its handle ethereal. She focused her gaze, and a 1.3m x 0.9m sheet of paper appeared before her. She looked up at the large tree before her, her eyes hardening with determination.

Grip the pen tightly, let the tip touch the paper, and begin to write with flowing strokes.

Over the past month, she had painted the Tree of Life countless times, becoming intimately familiar with its shape and colors. However, the tree before her was far more magnificent than any she had ever painted, so she had to make some adjustments.

Unlike photographs and videos, paintings cannot completely replicate all the details of a tree, so she had to make choices while still capturing the tree's unique characteristics.

Fortunately, Qingyu Rui had been painting since elementary school, and her skills were already superb. In no time, the banyan tree came to life on the paper!

Now there's only one last step left to transform this banyan tree into a tree of life!
She took out the blue crystal, holding it in one hand and a pen in the other, and pointed it at the banyan tree on the paper. In an instant, a bright light shone, and ripples spread through the surrounding space.

The large tree that had been standing not far away appeared illusory.

Time ticked by, and Qing Yuru exchanged crystal after crystal, nearly exhausting the hundreds of crystals in her storage pouch. But she wasn't in a hurry. A smile played on her lips. Almost there, almost there.

With a determined look, she pulled the remaining crystals from her storage pouch. The moment the crystals appeared, their energy almost materialized and surged towards the painting.

Unbeknownst to her, inside the temple, she was enveloped in a dense green light, and almost all the energy around her was drawn to her, causing the magnetic field to become disordered. The prospective painters standing next to her showed expressions of pain.

"Whose child is that?" Chief Bi asked in surprise. Such a powerful energy consumption suggests that this child's talent is immeasurable.

"Isn't that the Qing family's territory?" Chief Cui couldn't help but feel a pang of envy. If only such a powerful talent belonged to their Cui clan.

Chief Qing was overjoyed inside, but his face remained solemn. "If this continues, the other children in the hall will likely be affected by him!"

“Brother Qing, don’t worry, don’t forget that the temple dome hasn’t been activated yet! This means that the energy fluctuations haven’t reached their limit,” said Chief Bi.

Suddenly, a ray of light shone down from the dome of the temple.

The three clan leaders looked over and saw that the faint light had just enveloped the energy cocoon that was covering Qingyu Rui. In just an instant, the prospective painters who had been looking pained had returned to normal, and points of light emanated from their bodies, clearly indicating that they had also entered an awakening state.

Looking at Qingyu Rui again, the energy cocoon on her body showed no signs of weakening. Instead, the energy began to circulate rapidly, forming an energy vortex that attempted to draw in more energy from the outside.

The faint light from the dome completely isolated it from the outside world, and the vortex, unable to absorb energy, began to rise.

It didn't disappear; instead, it grew longer like a tornado. It seemed to be planning to absorb energy from the dome itself if it couldn't absorb energy from the outside world.

At that moment, the starry sky above came alive, the stars twinkling, and no one noticed a vortex appearing in the blackness between the stars. A continuous stream of energy flowed from the vortex, pouring down through the stars.

Gradually, the faint light materialized, and in an instant, a dazzling pillar of light appeared in the temple.

“This…” The three clan leaders looked at each other. Since the world changed and the Kingdom of Painting was born, there had never been such a situation before!

Those inside the temple were unaware of the sudden change in the sky outside. "Huh? Why did the sky suddenly darken?"

"what is that?"

People soon discovered a strange, dazzling beam of light above the temple, connecting to the heavens! They gaped, their eyes wide with astonishment.

At that moment, those who saw the light put down what they were doing, went out into the street, and stared at the light.

Suddenly, a burst of light appeared, and a colossal tree, almost large enough to cover the entire Kingdom of Painting, appeared in the sky.

"Hiss~ What, what is this?"

"It's a new spiritual technique! It must be a new spiritual technique!" Whenever a new spiritual technique is born, some incredible phenomena always erupt in the world!
As people marveled and marveled at this, no one noticed that on the edge of the Land of Paintings, above a temple, a beam of light, almost invisible to the naked eye, had also appeared. This beam was dim and barely visible, and its duration was extremely short.

At this moment, everyone was amazed by the giant tree in the sky.

The giant tree appeared for only a minute, and then daylight broke. Everything seemed as if it had never happened.

But the shocking scene from just now was already etched in their minds, and they held their breath as they looked at the tallest building in the Qing District.

At this moment, the painters who had successfully awakened in the temple had opened their eyes one after another.

Qing Yurui opened her eyes, and a jade-like pen appeared in her hand, with a lifelike small tree carved on the pen handle.

It's a green tier!
Qing Yurui was overjoyed; she had woken up to Green Rank! She was the first in her family to achieve this! No, she should be called the first person below Blue Rank!
The last time she awakened, she was at the Green rank, I think she was the Purple Diamond Saint Painter in the Purple Zone! Does that mean she can also become a Saint Painter?

Saint Painters are the second tier above red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. The first tier is the Rainbow tier, and the second is the Saint tier. As for what lies above the Saint tier? No one knows.

At this moment, Qing Yurui could hardly hide her joy as she played with the pen in her hand, as if it were a rare treasure.

Suddenly, the light in front of her was blocked. She looked up in confusion and met a pair of eyes filled with surprise and two pairs of eyes filled with complicated jealousy.

"Father! Chief Bi, Chief Cui!" Qing Yurui quickly clasped her hands together and bowed.

Chief Qing waved his hand, "You've already reached the Green Rank after just one awakening? Not bad, not bad. But it also means that your future advancement will be more difficult. You must work even harder and not be arrogant or complacent!"

"Yes!"

"Brother Qing, you can teach this kid a lesson later. Quickly let her show what she manifested in the Painting Saint's Illusion! How did she cause such a commotion?" Chief Bi said, feeling very annoyed. He knew that old man Qing was proud, but there was no need for him to show off in front of them!

Big move?
Qing Yurui looked at the Qing clan leader in surprise.

Chief Qing chuckled, "Since the two chiefs are so curious, Yu Rui, why don't you show them what you've manifested?"

Qing Yurui nodded and picked up the green-grade paintbrush to paint in the air. However, after only two strokes, she felt all her spiritual energy being depleted. She quickly reached into her storage pouch to take out a crystal, only to find that it was also empty.

"What's wrong?" Chief Qing noticed something was amiss.

"Father, I'm out of crystals." Because he couldn't replenish his energy in time, the two strokes he had just drawn had already vanished.

"It's alright, use this amethyst for now. You can get another bag of crystals when we get back!"

"Thank you, Father." (End of Chapter)
