Chapter 464: The Painting Comes to Life
If that young master Gu is truly some kind of immortal lord, or even an immortal venerable one, then he should have been killed by divine retribution long ago.
Unless, of course, Gu Heng is someone who can disregard the will of Heaven and rival the power of Heaven.
But based on what Yin Rufeng knew...
Even in the Immortal Realm or the Demon Realm, there is no such supreme powerhouse!
Although a stranger had come to their desolate city, he was certainly not that kind of powerful person. Perhaps this young master Gu had some kind of magical treasure that could conceal his aura.
After all, he wasn't from the "Immortal Realm," yet he still managed to become an immortal. This in itself was something Yin Rufeng hadn't expected. If he had some secrets, then Yin Rufeng wouldn't be surprised. "Grandpa hasn't broken through for many years, has he?"
Yin Xueling suddenly asked.
In her memory, ever since she was able to cultivate, Yin Rufeng's cultivation level had never changed. It was the same before as it was now. If there was any change, it was that he had a few more traces of aging on his body.
"Yes."
Yin Rufeng sighed, "For so many years, I've been stuck at the Yuanxian Realm, without making even a single step forward..."
"But breaking through isn't necessarily a good thing. As I told you, the heavens don't tolerate certain cultivators becoming too strong."
After saying that, Yin Rufeng shook his head, sighed, and continued drinking his tea.
He never imagined he could break through to the next level in his lifetime. The next level was the Immortal Lord, and he had heard that an Immortal Lord was considered a person of considerable status and position in any of the "Seventy-Two Spirit Continents" of the Immortal Realm. However, one could not survive at the Immortal Lord level in the Xuan Tian Realm. If he broke through, Yin Rufeng would have to suppress his cultivation by damaging his own foundation to avoid being targeted by the Heavenly Dao. This kind of pain of breaking through but not being able to use his abilities was worse than not breaking through at all.
"Miss, Manager Jin Qian has arrived."
The maid Xiaoqin hurried over to report.
Yin Xueling was slightly surprised.
He approached the courtyard, bowed to Yin Rufeng, then turned to Yin Xueling and said with a gentle smile, "Greetings, Miss."
Yin Xueling raised an eyebrow, "Uncle Jin, aren't you minding the shop today?"
"What shop are you looking at? I'm going to deliver some vegetables, fruits, and meats from the inn to Young Master Gu. He also asked me to bring this to you."
With a broad smile, Jin Qian placed the painting Gu Heng had given him onto the stone platform.
Yin Xueling wasn't surprised this time, but rather somewhat suspicious.
Indeed, she had already discussed it with Gu Heng yesterday. He lived in the desolate city, and as a fellow "collaborator" who also pursued the Dao through painting, he would give her an exquisite painting. Yin Xueling also felt recently that her cultivation seemed to have hit a bottleneck, so she took this opportunity to see if she could gain any insights.
Is it really that fast?
If Yin Xueling were to truly infuse her own understanding and cultivation into her paintings, it would probably take anywhere from ten days to several months. This is different from engaging in a duel with someone; if it's about appreciation, then one must do one's best.
Is it possible that Young Master Gu is being a bit perfunctory?
But since the painting has already been delivered, let's take a look at it first.
"Uncle Jin wants to watch too?"
Yin Xueling looked at Jin Qian's eager face and raised an eyebrow to steal a glance.
“Of course.” Jin Qian nodded without hesitation and pointed to the scroll on the table. “Since even you want to appreciate Young Master Gu’s skills, then count me in.”
Although Yin Rufeng didn't speak, his eyes had already glanced over.
After all, he was also a practitioner who entered the Dao through painting.
Yin Xueling unfurled the scroll in one breath, and instantly, the courtyard seemed to be isolated and imprisoned by some kind of force. The contents of the painting left the three of them dumbfounded!
This is a map of war!
The war is depicted as a battle between two opposing sides: one side is made of countless skeletons, and the other side is made of stone dragons. The two sides are locked in a fierce battle on the battlefield, and the war in this painting seems to be alive!
"This is……!"
Jin Qian was greatly alarmed.
After the painting was unfurled, the courtyard began to shake violently, as if it could not withstand the power within the painting and was about to collapse!
"How could this be... What is this?!"
Yin Rufeng was even more surprised, because he felt that the power in the painting, when fully displayed, was even more terrifying than the pressure he released at his peak!
This made the head of the Yin family feel like an insignificant ant in a vast war, not even qualified to face these skeletons and demonic dragons.
Compared to her grandfather, granddaughter Yin Xueling was even more stunned.
She felt as if she were at the crossroads of a war in this painting, weak and insignificant. The skeleton and the dragon seemed to have come to life. The skeleton was emanating black energy that could corrode space, while the dragon was spewing out extreme flames that could burn through the skeleton!
There was a moment like that.
Yin Xueling seemed to feel the gaze from the painting falling on her.
puff!
The shaking around her suddenly stopped, and Yin Xueling came to her senses.
Take a closer look.
It turned out to be Yin Rufeng, who used all his strength to roll up the scroll again.
"Hoo... This thing is the ultimate truth!"
He was panting heavily, his face full of fervor.
