With the Su sisters "sealed" within Guanshanhai, Liu Nanfeng's strength surged.
Although he had not awakened Feng Zhirun's memories, Liu Nanfeng had deduced his plan through some of his arrangements.
While he didn't know what had happened when Feng Zhirun went to the Heavenly Palace, he must have encountered a powerful enemy, which was why he returned to Earth and destroyed the entrance to the Heavenly Palace, preventing the enemy from pursuing him.
However, he also knew that this method could only hold them off for a while, not permanently, so he had also prepared some contingency plans.
For example, Guanshanhai was his most powerful contingency.
Feng Zhirun used his body as a brush, his blood as ink, and his spirit as paper to create this unparalleled masterpiece, simultaneously drawing a ley line from the Heavenly Palace and sealing it within the painting, thereby transforming the void into reality and creating a genuine world.
As a result, Feng Zhirun's vital energy and spirit were severely depleted. After escaping the Heavenly Palace and returning to the human realm, he entrusted this magnificent painting to someone before completely perishing.
But why did Feng Zhirun create this painting?
It was because he wanted to gather the strength of many powerful individuals on Earth.
This painting was not only used to "seal" demons, but also because it contained a complete ley line from the Heavenly Palace, it held dense spiritual energy, making it an excellent place for cultivation.
In this way, regardless of one's alignment, the world of Guanshanhai was an ideal cultivation ground, and no one would be rejected from entering it.
This was also Feng Zhirun's goal: to gather many great powers into one to resist the approaching enemies.
This, in turn, indicated that the enemy was indeed extremely powerful.
Liu Nanfeng speculated that it might be incredibly powerful desolate beasts.
From Ren Yang's memories, the power of the desolate beasts back then was still vivid.
Of course, these were answers Liu Nanfeng obtained by analyzing Guanshanhai; they might not be entirely accurate, but they were likely close to the truth.
So, after Su Jinxiu and Su Huamei entered Guanshanhai.
As long as they remained within the painting, Liu Nanfeng could borrow their strength.
This power was cumulative, and the combined strength was not simply a case of one plus one equaling two.
Liu Nanfeng's strength expanded rapidly, reaching an unprecedented height.
However, now was not the time to discuss this, as Little Carp ran out of Gugu's house and headed straight for him.
"Slow down."
Liu Nanfeng quickly reached out to catch Little Carp, who had run headlong into him.
"Why the hurry?" Liu Nanfeng asked curiously, looking at the panting Little Carp.
"Big brother... the house... the house..."
"Slow down first, speak slowly," Liu Nanfeng said softly, patting her gently to comfort her.
Little Carp swallowed, calmed her emotions, and then said again, "Gugu said that this house, Boss, you made it for her, right?"
Little Carp looked at Liu Nanfeng with eager eyes.
"Yes, why?"
"I... I..." Little Carp fidgeted, her large eyes full of expectation.
"You want one too?" Liu Nanfeng asked with a smile.
Little Carp nodded quickly, her face beaming with excitement.
"No problem, you can be neighbors with Gugu."
As Liu Nanfeng spoke, he slowly extended his palm forward, and a mound of earth rose from the ground, eventually forming a semi-circular mound.
Then, green vegetation quickly climbed onto the mound, as if adorning it with a green coat.
However, this looked a bit ominous, like a grave, so Liu Nanfeng added two small ears to it, making it resemble a bear's head.
Of course, he also repaired the roof of Gugu's house.
Then, with a wave of his hand, doors, windows, and skylights appeared one by one, forming a complete little bear house.
"Wow..."
Little Carp cupped her face and stomped her little feet excitedly in place, then turned and ran towards her house.
"That's truly amazing," Su Huamei walked over from the side, holding a fruit she had just picked from a tree.
"It's just like the real thing, and it tastes so good."
"It is the real thing," Liu Nanfeng said helplessly.
All things in heaven and earth are born from spiritual energy, and in this world, there is a vast ley line providing spiritual energy. Therefore, although it appears to be an illusion, everything is actually real and not fake.
This is the power of Feng Zhirun's attainment through his painting, transforming the void into reality.
In fact, this ability was similar in principle to Ren Yang's abilities.
"Tell me honestly, did you hide someone in here?" Su Huamei leaned close to him and whispered, looking sly and incredibly charming.
"Yes," Liu Nanfeng nodded seriously.
"I knew it, you're not honest at all."
Upon hearing this, Su Huamei immediately became angry, her face flushed with playful indignation as she punched Liu Nanfeng's chest.
"Quick, tell me, who is she, is she pretty? Where is she, let us meet her..."
Su Huamei chattered on and on.
"That's you. I plan to hide you in here," Liu Nanfeng said softly, grabbing Su Huamei's hand and leaning close to her ear.
"Brother-in-law, you're so wicked."
Su Huamei's cheeks turned red, and she punched Liu Nanfeng's chest again.
"Do you like it?"
"I do. Brother-in-law, you're really good at playing games. Don't tell sister about this," Su Huamei said happily.
"What shouldn't I be told?" Su Jinxiu suddenly appeared behind them.
She had gone to look around earlier and had just returned when she overheard their conversation.
"Brother-in-law said he'd build me a house too, but he was afraid you'd be jealous, so I said I wouldn't tell you," Su Huamei quickly replied.
"Really?" Su Jinxiu looked suspicious.
"Of course, it's true," Su Huamei said with a smile.
"Am I that petty? Is that how you see me?" Su Jinxiu said indignantly.
In reality, she knew Su Huamei was fabricating a story. Besides romantic matters, there was nothing she couldn't tell her.
However, since she had tacitly accepted Su Huamei's relationship with Liu Nanfeng, there were some things she didn't need to pry into.
But sometimes, playing a little prank and scaring them was one of her small, mischievous pleasures.
"Husband, since you're making a house for Huamei, make one for me too," Su Jinxiu said, tugging at Liu Nanfeng's arm.
"No rush, I'll find a good spot for you both."
"Why no rush? I'm eager to have a child with you," Su Jinxiu said, hugging his arm.
Liu Nanfeng: ...
Seeing his embarrassed expression, Su Jinxiu burst into laughter.
At this moment, Little Carp and Gugu ran out of the house. However, they were no longer playing with a ball but with the airplane Liu Nanfeng had bought for Gugu.
Little Carp swung her arm forcefully, and the airplane in her hand slowly flew out.
Gugu quickly chased after it, her short legs running as fast as they could. Even so, she seemed to think she was running too slowly, and the pair of wings on her back slowly unfurled subconsciously...
