After Bai Qingsong's introduction, Chen Tianwen gained a general understanding of the scroll.
Compared to the original Sunken Wall Secret Realm, this painting may not be as magnificent or vast, but Chen Tianwen knows that this painting possesses an ability that the Sunken Wall Secret Realm does not have.
The Shenbi Secret Realm possesses an incredibly vast space, capable of absorbing attacks from others. This is also one of the Shenbi Immortal Lord's specialties, demonstrating how the laws of space are utilized to their fullest extent within the Shenbi Secret Realm.
This painting was created after Immortal Lord Shenbi attained enlightenment. At this time, Immortal Lord Shenbi had already entered the initial stage of the Dao of Painting, and thus was sensed by Saint Desa. This painting almost encompasses all of Immortal Lord Shenbi's insights into the Dao of Painting!
That's why the president of the White Moon Chamber of Commerce, who is also Bai Qingsong's father, is so concerned. If he can gain insights from the painting, it will undoubtedly open a new world for his cultivation path.
Chen Tianwen carefully sensed the fluctuations in the surrounding space. Bai Qingsong followed behind Chen Tianwen, not daring to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing his brother's senses.
But three hours have passed, and Chen Tianwen has sensed almost every inch of the space but has not found anything unusual. Could it be that the scroll is really not here?
Even Chen Tianwen couldn't help but start to have doubts, but the two of them, still unwilling to give up, once again circled the palace and continued to investigate.
"Um?"
Chen Tianwen's gaze was drawn to a wooden box in the side hall. He had already examined the box once and found that it contained blank sheets of Xuan paper.
The reason Chen Tianwen's attention was drawn to these blank sheets of Xuan paper was because they were the only papers in the vast palace.
This is extremely abnormal for Immortal Lord Shenbi, who is obsessed with painting.
Chen Tianwen opened the Xuan paper and checked it repeatedly, but found nothing unusual. Bai Qingsong watched Chen Tianwen open the Xuan paper again and couldn't help but shake his head. It seemed that even his brother couldn't find the painting. Maybe the painting wasn't here at all!
The greatest truths are the simplest!
[The Dao of Painting is a Saint-level cultivation method that uses painting to attain enlightenment. Mastering painting skills allows one to comprehend the power of the laws of heaven and earth, and upon mastery, one can directly reach the Saint level. It takes one thousand years to enter the beginner stage, five thousand years for minor mastery, and ten thousand years for major mastery.]
[Simplification in progress, simplification complete!]
[The Dao of the Submerged Mural, a Saint-level cultivation technique, can directly lead to the Saint level upon mastery. It takes a hundred years to begin, two hundred years for minor mastery, and five hundred years for major mastery!]
Sure enough, after Chen Tianwen used the Simplification Law to examine these papers, he finally discovered the Chenmian Dao technique on a blank sheet of paper.
However, this technique held no appeal for Chen Tianwen. Nevertheless, since it belonged to Hua Qingyue's father, Chen Tianwen still made a simplified copy of the Shenmian Dao and prepared to give it to Hua Qingyue.
Chen Tianwen picked up the blank sheet of Xuan paper. This paper was no different from other papers. If Chen Tianwen had not used the simplification principle, he would not have been able to tell the difference at all.
Bai Qingsong looked at Chen Tianwen in surprise, not understanding why his elder brother would show such joy in front of a blank sheet of Xuan paper, and asked in confusion:
"Brother? Is there anything different about this Xuan paper?"
Chen Tianwen nodded, handed the Xuan paper to Bai Qingsong, and then said:
"Qingsong, calm down and try to understand this piece of Xuan paper!"
Bai Qingsong followed the advice, calmed down, and probed the Xuan paper with his divine sense, but found nothing. He couldn't help but frown in confusion.
Chen Tianwen naturally knew that a Saint-level cultivation technique without simplification was not so easy to comprehend.
Chen Tianwen gestured to Bai Qingsong not to rush, and Bai Qingsong calmed down again and focused on comprehending the meaning.
Half an hour later, Bai Qingsong gradually sensed the traces of Dao intent on the blank Xuan paper. Bai Qingsong was so surprised that his eyes widened. However, because he was distracted by his surprise, he could no longer sense those Dao intents.
But Bai Qingsong also noticed the extraordinary nature of the blank Xuan paper and couldn't help but say:
"Brother, I can actually feel the flow of Daoist energy on the Xuan paper!"
Chen Tianwen nodded and said:
"Qingsong, if I'm not mistaken, this is the scroll your father is looking for. This scroll should contain a cultivation technique, a technique that can lead to sainthood!"
Chen Tianwen's casual words made Bai Qingsong's breathing quicken. A technique to become a saint?
Bai Qingsong couldn't believe his ears, but he had also heard some legends about Immortal Lord Shenbi, and knew that Immortal Lord Shenbi almost entered the Dao through painting and achieved sainthood.
When Bai Qingsong learned that the scroll might contain a method to achieve sainthood, his hand holding it began to tremble slightly. After a while, Bai Qingsong calmed down and said to Chen Tianwen:
“Since it was you, elder brother, who discovered this scroll, then this method of achieving sainthood should rightfully belong to you.”
As Bai Qingsong was speaking, he was about to hand the scroll to Chen Tianwen, but unexpectedly, Chen Tianwen waved it away without taking it, and instead said:
"I have already found the treasure I need in this secret realm. To ask for this painting would be greedy! Besides, since it is something your father repeatedly instructed me to keep, how could I possibly take what others love?"
Chen Tianwen certainly wouldn't want the painting. He had already made a simplified version of the sunken mural, so why would he care about this one? Besides, after giving it to Bai Qingsong's father, the Baiyue Chamber of Commerce would owe him a huge favor, so why not?
Bai Qingsong was naturally unaware of all this; at that moment, he was deeply moved.
How many people in this world can remain calm when faced with the temptation of a path to sainthood?
But Chen Tianwen, his sworn brother, was able to do it, and without the slightest hesitation, he gave him the method to become a saint!
Even if Chen Tianwen had proposed any exchange conditions at this time, Bai Qingsong would have agreed and would have been happy to make the exchange. However, Chen Tianwen did not propose anything and simply gave away the Saint-level cultivation technique!
Chen Tianwen patted Bai Qingsong on the shoulder, then turned and walked out.
Bai Qingsong looked gratefully at Chen Tianwen's retreating figure, put the scroll into his storage space, and followed behind Chen Tianwen.
Another thing that surprised Bai Qingsong was Chen Tianwen's talent!
Even after I discovered something was amiss with the painting, it took me so long to sense that something was wrong with it.
However, Chen Tianwen discovered the unusual scroll in a short period of time and even explained its meaning.
In other words, Chen Tianwen comprehended the Daoist principles within the painting in just a short moment, a talent that amazed Bai Qingsong.
Chen Tianwen, of course, had no idea what Bai Qingsong was thinking. He would probably blush slightly, because Chen Tianwen had not yet sensed the Daoist charm of the painting.
All of this is thanks to the simplification principle!
