The floating apple did not turn into a real, solid apple.
Instead, it maintained its abstract form from the paper—even its color remained black and white.
It wobbled in the air several times before falling to the ground with a thud.
After rolling twice, it became still.
Su Chun and the other two women stared at it, their faces filled with confusion.
This time, Luo Yu truly could not hold it back anymore.
She doubled over with laughter, her eyes tearing up.
“Haha… Husband, did you draw an apple that turned into a spirit? It looks more like a malnourished monster.”
Su Chun looked at the abstract apple on the ground, her face turning as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Forget eating it, the thing looked like it would be painful just to touch.
‘Dammit, let’s try again.’
Su Chun refused to admit defeat.
Although she had failed again, there was progress.
She picked up the pen once more and continued to draw.
She refused to believe she could not even draw something simple.
This time, Su Chun decided to draw a living creature—a chicken.
She had drawn one once in primary school in her previous life and still had some memory of it.
However, when Su Chun finished the drawing, the three of them fell silent again.
This chicken had three legs, and its wings were mismatched in size, looking like some kind of genetic mutation.
Yet, after being drawn with the Divine Pen of Creation, the chicken actually came to life.
It flapped its uncoordinated wings, struggling out of the drawing paper.
Then, it ran awkwardly across the ground on its three legs while letting out strange, squawking cries.
The scene was incredibly ridiculous.
“Hahaha! I can’t take it anymore, Husband. Please, put it away. It’s too ugly!”
Luo Yu’s stomach hurt from laughing so hard.
Even Luo Li, standing nearby, could not help but cover her mouth to hide her smile.
Su Chun’s face darkened as she hurried to concentrate, trying to turn the Monster Chicken back.
However, the chicken seemed to have a mind of its own.
It flapped its wings and flew toward Su Chun, attempting to peck her with its sharp beak.
“Huh? Get away!”
Startled, Su Chun scrambled around in a flurry.
It took a great deal of effort to finally use her will to pull the Monster Chicken back into the scroll, which she then promptly tore to pieces.
“Dammit! What kind of nonsense was that? This is infuriating. I’m done drawing!”
Su Chun threw the pen aside, feeling discouraged.
She realized that she might truly have no talent for painting.
Luo Li quickly picked up the Divine Pen of Creation and handed it back to Su Chun, comforting her softly.
“Husband, don’t lose heart. Didn’t you manage to bring something to life? That is already very impressive. The form was just a little… off.”
“Yes, yes, Husband. At least it could move,” Luo Yu added, barely suppressing her laughter.
Su Chun immediately glared at Luo Yu, whose amusement was impossible to hide.
“This thing has the nerve to be called the Divine Pen of Creation. It’s not useful at all,” Su Chun said petulantly.
This was completely different from what she had imagined.
The two women could only continue to offer comfort and encouragement, as if coaxing a child.
Right then, Su Chun had a sudden flash of inspiration.
She remembered a painting hanging in the bedroom.
“I’ve got it!”
She hurriedly stood up and ran into the bedroom, stopping in front of the painting.
The scroll was titled the *Immortal’s Enlightenment Painting*.
“Husband, are you planning to copy it?”
Luo Li saw through Su Chun’s intentions at a glance.
Su Chun nodded and pointed to the pavilion in the painting.
“If I can’t draw well from scratch, I’ll try copying.”
Su Chun had Luo Yu take down the scroll and bring it to her workspace.
She concentrated deeply, cautiously copying the small pavilion from the painting onto another sheet of rice paper without changing a single detail.
This time, because she had a reference, the process was much easier.
Although the lines were still somewhat shaky, the overall shape finally looked respectable.
“Mhm, this works.”
After finishing the drawing, Su Chun took a deep breath.
She poured all her mental focus into the Divine Pen of Creation and shouted at the drawing of the pavilion.
“Transform!”
The tip of the Divine Pen of Creation erupted with a brilliant, nine-colored light that was over ten times brighter than before.
The small pavilion on the paper seemed to come alive, emitting a faint glow.
Then, under the shocked gazes of Luo Li and Luo Yu, the pavilion actually flew slowly out of the paper and began to solidify in the air.
Soon, a palm-sized pavilion was hovering right in front of Su Chun!
It looked exactly like the one in the painting, with upturned eaves and carved beams.
Even the patterns on the roof tiles were clearly visible, though the entire structure possessed a translucent luster.
“Haha, it worked!”
Su Chun jumped a few times in excitement.
She did not know if it was because she had become a girl, but her mindset seemed to have returned to her youth.
Although it was only a palm-sized pavilion, this was the first time she had used the Divine Pen of Creation to make something decent.
However, before Su Chun could celebrate for long, the pavilion hovering in the air suddenly began to expand rapidly.
“Eh? What’s happening?”
Startled, Su Chun tried to control it, but it was already too late.
The pavilion expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It grew from the size of a palm to the size of a millstone, and then to the size of a house.
*Boom!*
With a final loud crash, the pavilion transformed from the drawing landed directly in the center of their courtyard, smashing a large crater into the beautiful ground.
The pavilion was made of an unknown white jade and emitted a faint radiance.
It looked exactly like the one in the painting, except it was massive.
Su Chun and the others stared at the jade pavilion that had appeared out of thin air, falling into a stunned silence.
After a long while, Luo Yu managed to squeeze out a sentence.
“Is this… a bit too big?”
Su Chun could not help but scratch her head.
She looked at the giant jade pavilion and then at the Divine Pen of Creation in her hand, her lips twitching.
It seemed that Painting Objects into Reality was somewhat out of her control, or perhaps her willpower was unstable.
Furthermore, the commotion was far too loud.
The maids outside probably thought something major had happened.
Sure enough, several servant girls responsible for cleaning the courtyard rushed over.
When they saw the massive jade pavilion that had suddenly appeared, they were all stunned.
“Ninth Miss, what… what is going on?”
A small maid asked stutteringly.
Su Chun gave a sheepish smile.
Luo Li immediately stepped forward and said with a straight face.
“It is nothing. This is a magical treasure Mother bestowed upon my husband. It can change its form on its own. You may leave for now; there is no need to clean here.”
“Yes, Madam.”
Though the maids were curious, they did not dare to ask further and quickly retreated.
Once everyone was gone, Su Chun said with a long face, “It’s over, it’s over. Why can’t I take it back? How do I fix this? We can’t just leave such a huge pavilion in the middle of the yard forever, can we?”
Su Chun had tried to use her will to return it to the scroll immediately, but there was no reaction.
Luo Li and Luo Yu were also struggling with the problem.
The two sisters flew up and released their power, trying to move it, but their strength could not even budge the pavilion.
“It’s no use. We can’t move it either,” Luo Li said, shaking her head.
Su Chun focused her mind again, attempting to control the jade pavilion with her will.
“Return! Go back!”
However, the jade pavilion remained stationary as if it had become entirely physical.
“It really doesn’t work,” Su Chun said, speechless.
Luo Yu walked around the jade pavilion once and suddenly asked, “Husband, when you were drawing it, did you think about its size?”
Su Chun blinked.
“Size? I just thought it should be as big as the one in the painting.”
“That might be the problem.
The pavilion in the painting looks small, but it is actually meant to be large.
Look at how small the immortal in the pavilion is.
When you were copying it, your subconscious likely defaulted to its actual size, which is why it became this big.”
Luo Yu gestured toward the tiny figure in the painting as she guessed.
Su Chun asked miserably, “Eh? That… seems to make sense? So what do we do now?”
Luo Li pondered for a moment and said, “Husband, perhaps you can try drawing another pavilion, but place it out on the sea.”
Su Chun thought about it and decided it was worth a try.
She sat before the paper and began to draw again using the painting as a reference.
This time, it was much easier.
Soon, another pavilion was drawn, but this time it was depicted on the surface of the sea.
As Su Chun’s will moved, the massive pavilion vanished in a flash of white light.
When it reappeared, it was standing tall upon the surface of the sea.
“It seems I can still control it. The things created by this Divine Pen of Creation are not something we two at the Dao Palace Realm can move. Husband, let’s go check out the pavilion.”
With that, the two women flew up and landed inside the pavilion.
As soon as they entered, the white jade structure emitted a soft, gentle light. In that instant, both their hearts felt an inexplicable tremor.
“This… this pavilion actually contains a special Power of Laws that can grant us enlightenment?”
The sisters immediately sat down cross-legged.
Both of them were Level 2 cultivators of the Dao Palace Realm.
Upon entering this pavilion, they vaguely felt the threshold for Level 3 of the Dao Palace Realm. —
