After her spiritual energy materialized, Mingxi's skill in painting spirits has indeed improved a lot.

Although spiritual power cannot yet replace the Dao True Liquid, and can at most be on par with the Dao Spirit Original Liquid, in the current situation where spatial items cannot be used, spiritual liquid formed from the materialization of spiritual power is the best choice.

Moreover, the Spiritual Elixir has one irreplaceable function compared to the Daoist Elixir and the Spiritual Essence Elixir: improved sensitivity during manipulation.

After all, it was transformed from her own spiritual power, and theoretically, it will always be a part of her body.

How can one not be as skillful as using one's arm and fingers?

The rules appeared in the air!

Time is limited, and we must complete the full spirit painting before they completely forget the existence of Xu Tong, thus preventing Xu Tong from escaping.

So she used super speed and went all out!

The Book of Rules was very important, so she devoted herself to it for a long time. While Jin Yuanbao and the others were training in the Realm of Time, she was never idle.

The rule text for "【遁】" does not actually have a specific antonym.

But Mingxi just didn't want Xutong to escape and have his memories erased; that felt bad.

Therefore, the rule text she drew in the air was—

【Derivative】

As the saying goes, the Great Dao is fifty, Heaven evolves into forty-nine, and man escapes to one.

The one that can be hidden away, although it is a variable and a secret of heaven, but who dares to say that the four nine that can operate and develop normally cannot resist that variable?

More importantly, 【衍】 also represents endless hope. When creating spirit-drawing props, Mingxi often uses this rule as a prelude and prerequisite, which is extremely useful.

Therefore, Mingxi's mastery of these rules and texts has reached a level of perfection, enabling her to complete the spirit drawing at an extremely fast speed!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Heaven has no brush, and all writing has fallen.

In less than two seconds, a near-perfect golden pattern was completed.

Two seconds is not short at all; it would be more than enough time for the Holy Lord and Xu Tong to react and respond in time, if they hadn't been affected by Xiao Yinhua and the others.

However, for the complete drawing of a regular character, the length is so short that it is almost negligible.

"Get out of here!"

The moment the rule text was completed, Mingxi'striked' it toward where Xutong was.

Before 【Escape】 completely merged into the Void Eye, the two rules of characters converged irreversibly, and 【Evolution】 began to evolve domineeringly.

Based on the pattern of 【遁】 (meaning "escape"), flowers bloom, branches grow, birds fly out, and wild beasts run out...

It has absolutely nothing to do with 【escaping】!

"..."

Xu Tong cannot speak.

But Mingxi could tell that it was swearing filthyly!

That accumulated resentment could feed several evil sword immortals!

Through her previous encounters with Xu Tong, Ming Xi had already deduced that it should not be able to use the same rule text twice within a specific timeframe.

So its repeated compromises and retreats were also a way of confusing the public and waiting for the best time to escape.

But this time, it was really in a hurry!

After 【Escape】 completely lost its effect, it decisively went berserk.

【chaos】

【shock】

【Martial Arts】

...

Various common and uncommon rule-based characters were quickly'sculpted' one after another, showcasing the hand speed of someone who had been single for thousands of years to humans and supernatural beings!

Fortunately, the seven little silver flowers were prepared. Before the impact of those rule-based characters, they had already freed up their hands and quickly launched a defensive and counter-offensive offensive.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Energy and rules collide within space.

The five wolf guards were on the verge of death, struggling desperately.

But Mingxi didn't forget that the real danger here wasn't Xu Tong, nor these wolf guards who were destined to be cannon fodder.

It is the Holy Lord!

Especially the black seed in his hand. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

An ominous object!

There must be a conspiracy!

And there's also that 【life】.

Life is vitality, it is survival.

It is also something that is produced, something that happens.

"Snap!"

After 【Life】 adhered to the seed, the Holy Lord released his hand, and the seed should have fallen to the ground.

But it strangely floated in mid-air, surrounded by soil and pine needles.

And a spatial barrier that resembles a glass dome.

It looks like a delicate bonsai.

The world of bonsai.

Mingxi squinted, "Little Silver Flower, try to see if you can break or interfere."

Little Silver Flower immediately abandoned her current attack and turned to the 'potted plant' floating in mid-air.

"Luo!"

Little Silver Flower acted quickly, immediately confirming that its attack was ineffective against the 'potted plant'. It also indicated that the spacetime rules within the potted plant had been corrected.

It formed an independent microscopic world.

Moreover, it's a microscopic world where time has been accelerated.

Because she possesses the energy of time and space, Little Silver Flower can clearly perceive every detail of this world.

On the first day, the seed took root, and the black leaves trembled gently. Dewdrops still clung to the edges, gleaming sickly in the morning light.

The next day, half an earthworm was wriggling in the layer of decaying leaves, and the roots of the seed trembled slightly deep in the soil. They smelled the protein, but made no move. They lay motionless in the sun, like all harmless newborn plants.

On the third day, the roots touched the half-earthworm. The earthworm's fluid seeped through the soil particles and was captured by the root hairs. In that instant, both leaves trembled simultaneously. A very faint blue vein, like a blood vessel, appeared in the center of the leaf, lasting only a second before quickly disappearing.

...

On the sixth day, the seed sprouted its third leaf. It was still not green. The roots had grown to a depth of thirty centimeters, and in the darkness, they quietly wrapped themselves around the remains of a beetle of unknown age.

wolf.

On the seventh day, at night, something fell from the sky. It was a fledgling bird that had just died, its feathers not yet fully grown. Its roots grew wildly in the soil, like countless blind black snakes, crowding towards the protein.

Before dawn, the roots finally entangled the baby bird's corpse.

Swallowing the sea whole.

The chick's body shrank little by little, like jelly being slowly sucked dry.

The fourth leaf has grown.

...

Day 10.

...

On the fifteenth day, the seed was no longer a seed, but a seedling. Six leaves sprouted. Three of them were strangely sickle-shaped, with fine teeth barely visible to the naked eye along their edges.

The roots had become a tangled web, and within a two-meter radius of the soil, all the insect pupae, hibernating snails, and even the earthworms that were still wriggling had become empty shells.

The main stem began to change color, with dark red veins seeping into the deep black, resembling bruising.

On the twentieth day at dusk, an injured rock rat staggered by. Roots surged rapidly beneath the surface of the soil as a swarm of snakes attacked, causing numerous roots to break through the earth.

...

The little silver flower truly witnessed the growth of that black seed.

Sunrise and sunset.

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Year after year.

Watching it grow from a seed into a sapling, then into a large tree, and then one day it was hit by a storm and fell down.

It fell down quietly, quite unlike its initial hyperactive appearance.

It continues to endure wind, rain, sun, and lightning strikes in a fallen position.

The black tree made no more strange noises; it was as if it were asleep.

The leaves withered and fell.

The tree trunk gradually turned into jade.

It transformed into an even stranger-looking black jade sculpture, and then awoke in the form of the jade sculpture.

It was a sight that Xiao Yinhua had never seen before.

I do know Mingxi.

It has the shape of a tiger and the body of an ox, with two wings on its back.

That was clearly a black jade-colored Qiongqi!

"Great!"

Mingxi couldn't help but give the other side a thumbs up.

Qiongqi is a mythical beast in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that symbolizes disaster, tyranny, and chaos.

But that was China, the Classic of Mountains and Seas; this is the world of beast taming.

Two completely different world settings!

There has never been a supernatural being that looks like this in the world!

Moreover, the process of a seed 'developing' into a Qiongqi is no longer «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» considered evolution, but rather a genetic mutation!

"Using one of my precious mountain and sea seeds... this is how it grew?... "

The Holy Lord's gaze remained fixed on the bonsai world, his expression a mixture of rationality and madness, as he muttered seemingly nonsensical words.

"Fine, let's try the final result."

The Holy Lord raised his hand and snapped his fingers in a very pretentious manner towards the air.

The barrier outside the bonsai world shattered with a 'crack'.

His gaze swept disdainfully across the stone platform, and he said in a cold voice:

"Go! Go and devour them!"
