Become an Immortal in a Painting: Who Dares to Sever My Path to Immortality?

When Gu Yuan cuts down the last of his so-called "benefactors" in the snowy night at Putuli, a line of bloody writing appears in the painting: "Whoever breaks through nine paintings will be trapped in the painted realm as a slave forever." It turns out every ancient painting is a cage in which the "Painting Master" keeps prisoners!

From a paper figurine maker pelted with rotten vegetables to a powerful spirit of the painted realm who makes a lovesick witch say with reddened eyes, "I want to lock you up for thirty thousand years," he has torn the robes of a false immortal sect and broken the bones of demon cultivators. Now he stares at the blurry sky beyond the painting, clutching the half of a paper score left to him by the old paper craftsman.

"You think you can trap me?" A flame bearing a pattern of his own design ignites at his fingertips. "I'll smash this Nine Heavens painted realm, even if the Painting Master himself has to taste what it's like to be plotted against until he dies."
