Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 428 Jade Scroll - Pleiades Star Lord
But as long as this possibility exists, he cannot let Bifang continue burning like this.

If there really is an evil god causing trouble in the dark, the continued burning of the Bifang Divine Fire will only make that evil god's power stronger and stronger.

“If it’s just distortion and contamination, it’s not so bad,” Kun Youniang analyzed with a frown. “After all, distortion and contamination cannot directly enhance the power of evil gods, and there is already a lot of distortion and contamination in the world.”

To put it bluntly, the distortion and contamination are like a special kind of "spiritual energy" to the evil god scroll painter.

In Kun Youniang's view, the burning of Bifang Divine Fire only increased the concentration of distortion and pollution in the surrounding area, and could not directly enhance the evil god.

Even so, Wu Xian remained deeply worried.

"Let's wait for Senior Azure Tree King to arrive."

After some thought, they decided to wait for the Azure Tree King to arrive before deciding whether to extinguish the Bifang Divine Fire.

After all, the endless swarms of insects are still disgusting and troublesome.

Only the divine fire of Bifang could keep them firmly blocked at the entrance of the "spring".

If you try to clean it up by manpower, you'll work yourself to death and still not be able to kill them all.

The key is that you can't completely ignore them, because they can cause huge damage to the insect world environment and even exacerbate the loss of control over the insect world's power.

In short, I'm really torn.

If only there were a way to have the best of both worlds.

It can both suppress this "spring" that is bred with disorderly insects and monsters, and prevent it from causing distortion and pollution.

While pondering, his gaze fell on Pleiades Star Lord beside him.

The power of the Golden Scroll Pleiades Star Lord is clearly insufficient at present, but what if it were upgraded to the Jade Scroll?

"I would like to trouble you all to protect me and keep a close eye on the situation inside," Wu Xian said after a moment of contemplation. "I will try to reconstruct the Chicken Lord into a jade scroll."

"Jade Scroll?" Kun Youniang and the others were surprised and doubtful. "They can all be upgraded to Jade Scrolls now?"

The Golden Scroll and the Pleiades Star Lord are almost like nuclear bombs to the Zerg; how terrifying will they be after they are upgraded to the Jade Scroll?

Although Wu Xian meant them no harm, they still felt a strange sense of unease and threat.

It's like having a friend with a gun. Even if you know he won't shoot you, you'll still worry that he might accidentally discharge it.

"A suitable divine power core?" Xue Zhengying asked in surprise.

With his innate Daoist physique, he naturally understood how high the potential of [Mao Ri Xing Jun] was; not to mention the Jade Scroll aptitude, even the Black Scroll aptitude was sufficient.

The key is whether we can find suitable materials.

"Ah."

Wu Xian nodded slightly, silently took out the divine power core of the bald free-range chicken, as well as some related materials, and prepared to reconstruct the Pleiades Star Lord on the spot.

The reason it's been kept unused until now is mainly because the core components of that bald free-range chicken's divine power are somewhat mixed.

It contains not only some of the laws and patterns of the Pleiades Chicken, but also the laws and patterns of other divine birds and chickens.

This is why those bald free-range chickens look so ugly.

Originally, I wanted to leave room for other new ideas, since Pleiades Star Lord had already been created, and it was an "artwork" version created in a state of "enlightenment".

In addition, although the Pleiades Star Lord is strong against insects, the core of the Twenty-Eight Constellations is still the ultimate move of the Four Heavenly Spirits, and the Golden Scroll is enough for now.

Instead of using it to upgrade a jade scroll, it would be better to create a completely new jade scroll, such as the [Chongming Bird].

But the current crisis has forced him to start rethinking.

To deal with this crisis, it's best to rely on the Rooster Star Lord.

If this crisis is resolved perfectly, that's fine. But if it can't be resolved perfectly, we'll still have to rely on Pleiades Star Lord for the aftermath.

Therefore, reconstructing the Pleiades Star Lord into the Jade Scroll is undoubtedly the best choice.

Without further ado, they began the reconstruction and upgrade under the protection and watchful eyes of everyone present. Xue Zhengying and Xue Lingling were fine, but the insect demons, led by Kun Youniang, were clearly witnessing a human scroll painter creating a scroll for the first time, and they were all very interested and full of curiosity.

However, due to the intimidating power of the Pleiades Star Lord, they dared not get too close and could only watch from afar.

Strange to say.

Despite the critical and urgent situation, Wu Xian remained surprisingly calm after beginning the reconstruction.

Perhaps it was the state of mind and condition left in the divine image imprint when Pleiades was created?
The key point is that I didn't have this feeling when I was making the Pleiades Star Lord dungeon before.

Bang~!

The painting of Pleiades Star Lord collapsed, and the golden scroll was hung high on the new painting paper.

Using the "Divine Power Core" of the bald free-range chicken as the core, and combining it with various high-quality materials and pigments, we begin to reconstruct and paint.

As time slowly passed, the Pleiades star on the drawing paper became more and more lifelike, and the laws of heaven and earth began to gradually converge in this direction.

Although it wasn't finished yet, the Zerg monsters present already felt a chilling sense of dread.

The powerful demons who met Wu Xian for the first time all had the same thought: never mess with this human kid again.

Buzz~!

The dazzling starlight shone down, and the power of the laws of heaven and earth continuously gathered, as if a majestic and sacred aura was being conceived and formed.

In order to maximize the power of the Pleiades Star Lord, Wu Xian also specially added the power of faith, incense, and merit to the drawing.

The incense of faith allows him to "communicate" with the power of the Pleiades Star Lord as much as possible, further strengthening and perfecting the laws and principles of the Pleiades Star Lord.

Merit can directly affect the entirety of the Pleiades Star Lord, fundamentally improving him.

Currently, most of the merits accumulated by the underworld outposts have been devoted to the Rooster Star Lord.

This act of merit is neither a great deal nor a small one.

In the world of prehistoric fantasy novels, this amount of merit is clearly insufficient.

However, within the context of the scroll painting world, the value and significance of this act of merit are still quite impressive.

Finally, accompanied by dazzling starlight and the power of the laws of heaven and earth, the scroll above transformed into a jade scroll and slowly fell into the paper below, where it was pieced together to form a brand new scroll.

【Pleiades Star Lord】

Version: Original (with gold embroidered border)

Grade: Jade Scroll

Painting Spirit: ★★★★★★★☆

Divinity: 32
Innate Traits: White Tiger's Protection, Crow of Dawn, Pure Yang True Body, Day and Night Boundary

Not long ago, Pleiades Star Lord had risen to seven and a half stars, and after the reconstruction, it was naturally preserved in the scroll.

However, the level is obviously not the key point; the key point is the overall improvement and changes after advancing to the next level.

First, there's the added talent trait of "day and night boundary," and second, there are changes on the spiritual level.

"Why has its spirituality decreased?" Wu Xian initially thought he was seeing things. "Wait, this... this... how did it become divine?!"

For a moment, Wu Xian's mind was buzzing, and he couldn't come to his senses for a long time.

Divinity?
Is the ultimate goal of spiritual ascension divinity?
What determines the transformation from spirituality to divinity is likely the mysterious power of "merit".

Could it be that the reason why those black scrolls of various forces today cannot forge true gods is because they have not yet transformed into divinity?
Although it is still unclear what exactly "divinity" means, and what kind of enhancement it will bring.

But it must be very powerful and important.
