Chapter 1504 (Raw 1484): Perceptive to the Finest Detail
After Xiao Chen left, the Dragon Horse and black-clad old man walked into the large hall .
The middle-aged man said to the Dragon Horse, “Big Brother Dragon . ”
The Dragon Horse nodded like it was human . Then, it asked, “How was it? How did he do, and what prize did he choose?”
The middle-aged man answered honestly, “He passed with full marks in less than one hour . Then, he chose the imitation Azure Dragon Divine Wings . ”
“Passing with full marks, that is even more incredible than the Azure Emperor back then!”
The black-clad old man revealed a strange expression of disbelief, clearly too shocked .
The Dragon Horse said bluntly, “I already said I think highly of him . He walks a different path from Xiao Teng . Back then, Xiao Teng wanted to use the Demonic Dao to reach the Dao, which means that he already took a detour . The most important thing is that Xiao Chen is still young . His future is filled with unlimited potential . ”
The black-clad old man remained silent . He did not have anything to rebut with, so he did not do so .
Using the Demonic Dao to reach the Dao was indeed a possible direction . All the Great Dao converged into one . No matter what path it was, in the end, it would reach the same destination .
However, the Azure Emperor’s path was too extreme . In the end, he failed . The victors were right, and the losers were wrong; there was nothing much to say about that, and there was no need to .
“He chose the imitation Azure Dragon Divine Wings . Given his intelligence, it would not be hard for him to figure out that the secret manuals are even more precious . It looks like while he does not know what is happening outside, he has a suspicion . ”
The Dragon Horse was very smart, quickly guessing most of Xiao Chen’s thoughts .
After entering the second trial, after the doors opened, Xiao Chen discovered scenes that kept changing . In one moment, there was the desolate desert, in the next, a vast ocean, then a glacier, and then it turned into a sea of fire .
Xiao Chen had opened his Heavenly Eye much earlier . However, he still felt like he could not see clearly enough, unable to figure out what was happening .
Amid the changing scenes, a girl in her prime walked out . There was a barely detectable golden light in the depths of her eyes as well .
Xiao Chen bowed slightly and said respectfully, “Greetings, Senior . ”
The girl in her prime nodded and said, “This trial tests your eyes . Since you came in, there was a total of nine different scenes . I want you to draw all of them out in one painting . ”
This…
Xiao Chen was somewhat stunned . No wonder the middle-aged man from before told him to open his Heavenly Eye the moment he entered .
Fortunately, Xiao Chen followed that advice . However, he had never learned how to paint .
“Do cultivators of your strength even need to learn how to paint? This trial is about your eyes, not your skill at painting . Just draw what you saw . ”
The girl was far from being as amiable as that middle-aged man . Without showing any changes in expression, she went to the side and remained silent after handing the brush, ink, and paper to Xiao Chen .
Xiao Chen smiled helplessly and rolled up his sleeves . Then, he picked up the brush and looked at the paper, entering deep thought .
He did have some skills at “drawing . ” After all, he once learned how to draw talismans . The way he held the brush looked correct . As his white clothes fluttered, he gave off an elegant impression .
What should I draw?
From the start to now, only a mere minute had passed . However, there were nine different scenes: desolate mountain, desert, glacier, swamp, city, courtyard, battlefield, ocean, and lake .
It would be impossible to draw all of them out .
Eyesight…
While at his wit’s end, Xiao Chen suddenly thought about the purpose of this test and revealed a faint smile .
It turned out that this trial tested not only eyesight but also one’s flexibility .
The so-called eyesight referred to being perceptive to the finest details, carefully and meticulously noticing everything .
Xiao Chen just needed to display his perception of the nine scenes through this painting . If he had to draw out all nine scenes, who knew when he would ever finish?
The first scene was that of the desolate mountain . Xiao Chen remembered seeing an unremarkable small blade of grass in a crevice at the summit of the desolate mountain, so he decided to draw that .
At an extremely far part of the glacier, there was an indistinct black dot, which seemed to be a cultivator with a sword on his back .
The ocean was vast and boundless . However, what left the deepest impression on Xiao Chen in that illusory scene was a particular wave .
That wave was turbulent, hiding a ferocious sea creature that seemed to merge with the wave . It was extremely hard to tell them apart .
In the desert, two armies faced each other . Tens of thousands of cultivators fought each other, sending out countless Martial Techniques . However, Xiao Chen saw all of them .
--
In less than fifteen minutes, Xiao Chen put down the brush and smiled at the girl . “It is done . ”
“So fast?”
The girl in her prime was clearly in disbelief . She asked coldly, “Are you sure? This trial has no time limit, but you have only one opportunity . ”
Xiao Chen replied confidently, “I thought it through already . Senior, please take a look . ”
The girl gave Xiao Chen a deep look and walked over quickly . When she saw the painting, her lips curled up, her pretty face revealing a mocking expression .
“What are you drawing? Although I’m not strict, there is no need to do this even if you want to brush me off . ”
The painting depicted a handsome swordsman biting on a small blade of grass as he executed a Sword Technique to kill a ferocious beast amid falling leaves .
Xiao Chen unhurriedly and gently prompted, “Senior, please do look carefully . ”
The girl in her prime glanced at Xiao Chen in suspicion . She could not understand why the other party was so confident .
However, when the girl looked at the painting again carefully, she was suddenly shocked . The more she looked, the heavier the shock on her face became .
“How did you do it?” the girl asked after putting down the painting .
Needless to say, Xiao Chen passed the test of this trial, meeting the requirements .
He smiled faintly and said, “Just like that . Senior, this is considered a pass, right?”
“A pass with full marks . The reward of this trial is a choice between three Eye Technique secret manuals and a bottle of Superior Pure Immortal Water, a spiritual liquid for improving Eye Techniques . Choose one . ”
Without hesitation, Xiao Chen said in a low voice, “The Superior Pure Immortal Water . ”
“Have you thought it through carefully? Even without the spiritual liquid, your Eye Technique will continue to improve . However, once you give up on the Eye Technique secret manuals, it will be extremely hard for you to obtain another . ”
“Thank you for Senior’s kind intention . This junior has thought it through already . ”
“Here . ”
The girl in her prime handed a jade bottle to Xiao Chen . Naturally, it contained the Superior Pure Immortal Water .
As Xiao Chen held the bottle in his hand, he entered deep thought . Then, he took out another jade bottle and split the Superior Pure Immortal Water into two portions .
Doing it this way would not bring out the best effect, but it would allow him to improve the two Eye Techniques that he had, the Heavenly Eye and the Divine Lightning Eye .
These two Eye Techniques had already reached critical points . It was ideal to rely on the Superior Pure Immortal Water to make them break through .
There was no need to describe the process of using the Superior Pure Immortal Water . After it was refined, Xiao Chen’s Divine Lightning Eye stabilized on the third layer .
It was no longer like before, only barely usable . Xiao Chen could now easily layer three bolts of lightning tribulation and severely injure a Prime .
The Heavenly Eye formally reached the next level, Heavenly Divine Flying Eye, and could fly around independently .
With a thought, the Heavenly Eye could leave the body, moving to the nine heavens or the deep abyss underground with no difficulty .
“Many thanks, Senior . ”
After Xiao Chen tested his two improved Eye Techniques, he bowed slightly and took his leave .
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Not long after Xiao Chen left, the black-clad old man, the middle-aged man, and the Dragon Horse all rushed over excitedly .
“How did that fellow pass the trial so quickly? Show me his painting . ”
At first, the Dragon Horse felt suspicious . When it saw Xiao Chen’s painting, it was confused .
The black-clad old man and the middle-aged man goggled, feeling confused as well .
However, the Dragon Horse’s instinct told it that this painting was not that simple . It looked at the girl in her prime and said, “Hong Xue, please show me the nine scenes from earlier . ”
“Very well, Big Brother Dragon . ”
The girl in her prime did as told . After the Dragon Horse, the black-clad old man, and the middle-aged man examined the nine scenes, their eyes all lit up as they looked at this painting again .
“Perceptive to the finest details, carefully and meticulously noticing everything . This fellow’s eyesight is truly extraordinary . The most unremarkable blade of grass in a crevice at the summit of the desolate mountain . He even saw a swordsman with such an appearance at a particular spot above the glacier . He could clearly see a person’s appearance out of millions of people in the war in the desert and even managed to remember that person’s Martial Technique…”
Awe filled the middle-aged man’s eyes as he muttered the various merits of the painting .
Hong Xue looked at the painting and said, “What’s even more difficult was managing to merge all these into a painting . Furthermore, it looks very natural . His ability to deduce many things from one thing and his peak comprehension ability and flexibility are extremely formidable . ”
“The next trial should be about fear, right?” the old Dragon Horse said suddenly . Everyone’s expression froze before turning sullen at the same time .
Fear . For millions of years, countless Dragon Race outstanding talents had fallen at this trial . It was not just the Azure Dragon Palace that had this trial; the inheritance palaces of the other Divine Dragons had similar trials as well .
Many powerful demonic geniuses with unlimited potential had fallen at this trial, so many that they were uncountable .
The last of the Azure Dragon bloodline showed outstanding results, but could he pass that trial?
