Looking back, it was all like a fairyland.

"Then enter the painting. Please relax your minds."

Shen Qiu spread out a painting, and the light flickered.

Several people felt dazed and slightly weightless, and then they arrived at a mountain in the blink of an eye. Those who entered for the first time couldn't help but marvel at the magic of this world in the painting.

Including Zhen Xiao, it is as huge as a cave.

That's right, after several years of expansion and as Shen Qiu's Taoism became more sophisticated, this world in the painting has expanded greatly. Compared to what it looked like when Su Mu came in, it is several times larger.

In addition to the mountains, there are also large rivers, plains and lakes. What's more, you can even sense a vast ocean taking shape in the distance.

The whole painting is transforming.

After the original City God Temple in the painting disappeared, Shenqiu built a small house in it, which has a strong sense of daily life.

In front of the house, the stone table and stone bench remained unchanged, and Shen Qiu brought in delicious food.

Then he waved his hand, and the mountains shifted. In the center, a huge arena slowly rose. This understated method created a visual effect that was not understated at all, and could be said to be exaggerated.

Just like a creator.

"It's extraordinary, really extraordinary. In time, this place may really evolve into a cave paradise." Zhen Xiao exclaimed.

The means of expanding space are very common.

Like the treasure bag, mustard seed space and so on, but such a huge space is really uncommon. No, it is not uncommon, but it is rare in the world. The source of Tianbei is just the remains of a cave heaven, which is enough to show how rare the cave heaven is.

Shen Qiu smiled and nodded, asking everyone to take a seat.

At this moment, Shao Shang and Lin Yuan jumped and landed on the huge stage.

Shao Shang didn't use his arrows, but held a Mo Dao in his hand: "My friend, there is no need to be polite, just attack."

Lin Yuan cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuan disappeared from the spot, and spiritual energy spread throughout his body, and he clenched his palm into a fist.

The surging artistic conception hits you in the face.

This is the boxing style that Lin Yuan is most familiar with.

In Shao Shang's eyes, Lin Yuan, who was rushing towards him, was like a river with water released from the floodgates, and the meaning of the turbulent waves was already understood.

"Good boy." Shao Shang's eyes were full of admiration, but in just a moment, the knife in his hand had already slashed out.

The knife comes out and the fist arrives.

Lin Yuan's fists were as swift and powerful as a river, and he struck out in quick succession without hesitation.

Shao Shang could feel that Lin Yuan's fists were very heavy and were constantly growing stronger.

But Shao Shang's knife was able to take every blow. After relieving the tremendous force with a tricky and deadly knife technique, he counterattacked without a single tremor in his knife. It was like a surging river encountering an immovable reef. Lin Yuan's fist was fast, but Shao Shang's knife was sharper.

In just the moment of the fight, Lin Yuan was at a disadvantage, just like the river and lake being diverted by reefs, or like being divided by the vast land.

As the water flow slows down, the punches become slower.

Shao Shang's sword did not change at this time, and the offensive and defensive positions changed in just a moment.

The artistic conception was interrupted, the punch slowed down, and the opponent was given an opportunity to change from attack to passive defense.

Shao Shang's sword was unusually steady, one strike after another.

Lin Yuan's hands were covered in blood from the knife cuts.

"Next strike." The blade's light was like a full moon. Lin Yuan was shocked and in the blink of an eye he appeared hundreds of meters away from the battlefield.

If that blade had passed by, it would have definitely cut off his arm.

He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Shao Shang put away his knife and said to Lin Yuan, "How is it?"

"The difference between us is clear. I couldn't even continue my state of mind before it was interrupted. Your sword is too steady, and every move is fatal. I was forced to defend myself with my backhand, and my state of mind that was rushing forward was cut short."

“So, that’s the second question.”

"Your moves rely too much on your state of mind. Once your state of mind is interrupted, your subsequent moves will also become weaker. It's not good to have these two things going together. You need to use your moves to pull it back up when your state of mind weakens, or switch to a different state of mind. This is also the key to making your moves circular. No matter when, where, or at what time, you must maintain the continuity and rise and fall of your state of mind."

"Instead of being rigid and one-punch-at-a-time, and not knowing how to adapt."

"Thank you for your advice." Lin Yuan asked humbly.

"Let's do it again..."

"Come………"

…………

"Brother Shao Shang is not as bad at preaching as he says." Shen Qiu watched the competition between the two happily.

Lin Yuan was ravaged bit by bit and changed bit by bit.

This is the way of discussing the Dao, exposing your own shortcomings in front of your opponent. Winning or losing is a form of growth. Of course, competition is just one of the ways of discussing the Dao.

This competition made those present who had never experienced the discussion of the Dao understand the importance of the discussion of the Dao. Cultivating immortals, the Dao, and even the divine way cannot be achieved in isolation.

The people on the ring were drinking and chatting happily.

The people in the ring are having their knives sharpened to a shine.

Lin Yuan's progress can be seen by everyone, and it can be described as rapid progress. This is true. After all, Lin Yuan is a person who can replicate the old goat's spiritual energy after just watching him use it once.

Zhen Xiao raised his glass: "Brother Shen really has a good student."

"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Shen Qiu returned the greeting, but his face was full of pride.

This sentiment is even reflected in the world of the painting.

Suddenly a breeze blew, making the surrounding woods rustle. The breeze was gentle and warm, blowing through everyone, making them feel warm. The sky was slightly dark, and the sky was full of rosy clouds, just like the feeling of being slightly drunk on a summer evening.

The environment changes with the mind. This alone is enough to show Shen Qiu's grasp of this space.

Su Mu felt it even more clearly. He had seen what this world was like from the very beginning. Shen Qiu was just a mortal back then, but he had grown to this extent in just a few years. Time really flies.

I'm not the only one making progress.

They didn't say anything, but there was smile in their eyes.

With a few good friends by your side and delicious food and wine around you, how can you not be happy and joyful?

Zhen Xiao liked this atmosphere more and more and didn't want to go back to his cold North Sea Dragon Palace.

At this time, the North Sea Dragon Palace was already in chaos. The Dragon King disappeared, even his breath disappeared, and the sky fell. It was not because they were afraid that something would happen to the Dragon King, but some time ago they said they would set off for the source of the north sky, and after they were ready, the Dragon King disappeared.

Are they going or not? There is no definite answer, and none of the dragon's descendants can make up their minds.

Those with higher cultivation levels could feel the abnormality in the Dragon Roaring Land, but since the Dragon Roaring Land was abnormal every now and then, they didn't think much about it. Now they are confused for a moment.

What they didn't know was that at this moment, the Dragon King was drinking some wine and riding a boat towards the source of the North Sky.
