In such situations, it might also cause the person to have corresponding hallucinations or illusions.

Before He Kao fainted, he seemed to see the figure in the painting come to life, stretching out a hand to flick his forehead!

The flick felt like a heavy hammer, causing him to lose consciousness.

He didn't know how long it was before he finally awoke gently, still maintaining the posture of kneeling in front of the incense table, forehead touching the ground. Upon raising his head, he saw that the three sticks of Awakening Incense had burned out, and judging by the length of the candles, it was roughly two hours ago.

The situation was the same as last time, with his Divine Power exhausted, his energy and strength barely reaching the limit… at least fifteen thousand spent, exhausted with a mere flick?

He Kao mustered the strength to raise his aching, soft hand to touch his forehead—no swelling, no injury; the figure in the painting hadn't really come out to flick him—it was merely a shock of Divine Thought.

The moment before fainting felt hazy, but this Divine Thought allowed him to interpret some other content.

It seemed that the Immortal Tan in the painting was angry, but didn't fuss over this child, instead, giving a small punishment as a warning.

Of course, it can also be interpreted differently, as He Kao using the wrong method to trigger the Divine Artifact's wonders, thereby suffering backlash. Where did he err? In disregarding the true meaning of seeing Tan the Immortal as one sees the drawing.

Did He Kao truly treat the Immortal Tan in the painting like the Master Tan Jun himself? Possibly last time, but certainly not this time!

As the saying goes, honor the gods as if they are present; since worshiping the master, it should be like facing the master himself, with sincerity and correct intent.

Special ritual of bathing and fasting is unnecessary, but at least cleansing thoughts in place of fasting.

The first time incense was burned in worship, it triggered the marvel of Tan Xian's Walking Stick Painting, with the master in the painting presumably guiding him—based on his current cultivation, how to utilize this Divine Artifact.

The second time he burned incense in worship, it was earnestly seeking guidance according to Tan Ancestor's pointers. Xue Guanghan is a Treasure of Heaven and Earth he just acquired, and is recently contemplating and researching, seeking guidance from Tan Ancestor seemed like Karma.

As for the third time incense was burned in worship today, he was purely playing around. This was hardly worshiping the master—practically treating the master as a verification instrument, a recorder, even engaging in boastful questioning.

Was this the issue He Kao faced in his cultivation that needed solving? Completely deviated from the true intent of Karma!

A Bangli Country man sees an Eastern Country visitor, pulling out an apple and asking the other, "Do you know what this is? You don't have it in Eastern Country, right? You Eastern Country people haven't seen it, have you?"

If this visitor had some dignity, he probably wouldn't bother responding, but deep down, surely he might want to give the other person a flick? Self-reflecting, He Kao recognized his mindset indeed bore resemblance to that Bangli Country man.

In his subconscious, he wasn't here to seek guidance from the master, but to test the master, akin to conducting AI training tests in his daily work, and the result...

Even if Tan Ancestor decoded all sorts of information about this mobile device, transforming into Divine Thought and transmitting it all into He Kao's Primordial Spirit, could He Kao comprehend it?

The contents he could interpret were still within the scope of what his knowledge could understand, and his cultivation could bear.

He planned many other things today, now feeling impossible and dared not bring them out for testing, suddenly recalling after receiving guidance from the master during the previous two worships, he forgot to give thanks.

Interacting with people in reality, like Old Man Jiang and Lin Qingshuang, if the other provided him guidance, he shouldn't forget to express gratitude, how could he forget in front of Tan Ancestor?

If seeing the drawing is like seeing the person, then he erred.

Thus He Kao struggled to straighten his posture, bowed to Tan Ancestor, offering apology and thanks. The Immortal Tan's expression seemed to bear a slight smile, silent in the painting.

Subsequently, He Kao continued cultivating to restore Divine Qi in the cavern hall, setting aside that unintended playful mindset, beginning to examine the true gains from using this Divine Artifact in the previous two times.

Is the marvel of Tan Xian's Walking Stick Painting used as identification of items?

He Kao once believed so, thus got excited and prepared a mobile phone, fried chicken, tarot cards, movie tickets, CD disc, anti-inflammatory medicine, etc., intending to test each separately.

Reflecting at this moment, did Tan Xian's Walking Stick Painting merely identify an apple and a piece of Xue Guanghan?

Of course not! If the figure in the painting is seen as Tan Ancestor himself, then the Immortal Tan at least demonstrated three Observation Methods to him.

Firstly, through that apple, the Divine Thought in the painting revealed "Observing Conditions." This is the fundamental Heart Method of Lingxi Skill, causing He Kao to recall Wei Luo precisely for this reason.

Wei Luo's described feelings when he had spicy soup initially, aligned with Lingxi Sect's Observing Conditions; akin to painting's Divine Thought "identifying" that apple, gave He Kao personal experience.

He Kao found it hard to match Wei Luo's realm, yet through the Divine Thought in the painting, he could sense what a Tier Three Observer of the Lingxi Sect would see in an apple?

No wonder often hearing people saying fortune-telling masters are usually accurate about past events, yet predictions about the future are quite vague.

The reason is simple, as the future remains uncertain. But past events can indeed be traced, like how He Kao saw "the story of an apple."

Upon reaching the foundation of Tier Three Observer, should cultivation advance further, achieving stable "input" and "output," that becomes the capability of Tier Four Divine Stick… making a living possible!

Tier Four Divine Sticks of Lingxi Sect can see many things from the past, deducing outcomes from causes. Second Uncle is such a Divine Stick, but the cultivation of Lingxi Skill has specifics, many things seen cannot be directly spoken of.
