Volume 2 Chapter 53 (1/2)

Chapter 53 Old Forefather

This was the most valuable enlightenment during the process of cultivation. This was an indescribable feeling. It shocked Zhang Yi and made him feel peerlessly happy.

The white clouds turned to drops of rain. With the fall of each droplet, many lines he could not see before appeared. He could sense the true meaning in these lines. He couldn't help but said in a happy and trembling voice, ”Little Sect Brother, it really is rain and not cloud!”

Shen Yi turned to look at him with puzzlement.

Zhang Yi realized that the little sect brother of White Goat Cave was not Ding Ning but Shen Yi.

Zhou Xieyi's face paled slightly. Looking at Zhang Yi, he thought in disbelief, had Zhang Yi really comprehend something from the Painting Remnant Scroll in such a short time?

Zhang Yi looked towards Ding Ning. He saw Ding Ning had walked next to Nangong Caishu.

At this time, a thin wave of primal energies of the universe was released from the Painting Remnant Scroll.

Zhang Yi stilled.

He immediately understood. When he had his enlightenment just now, his mental power had unconsciously went along those lines. That had stirred the energies.

Feeling the wetness in the thin wave of primal energies of the universe, his breathing paused briefly and he grew more excited. He was certain that his enlightenment just now was correct. He had comprehended the true meaning of those lines that were seemingly clouds but actually rain.

Zhou Xieyi's face immediately paled even more and his body grew stiff. The primal energies of the universe slowly spreading from the Painting Remnant Scroll was thin but extremely clear and floated into the sky.

Outside Ink Garden, Changling was sunny, but above this Ink Garden, there were many white clouds that suddenly formed to block the sunlight along with great moisture in the air.

The people in front of the Painting Remnant Scroll finally felt this oddity. Even Nangong Caishu, whose mind was completely immersed in the painting, was woken up.

On a little mountain in Ink Garden, inside the Cloud Sea Pavilion's study, Zhou Yunhai and Xue w.a.n.gxu were drinking tea. The tea was an extremely valuable cloud mist tea. The teacups were from Yue ceramics, green and cool, with mist circling the rim of the cup.

Feeling the moisture that suddenly formed in the air, Zhou Yunhai's expression changed slightly and his teacup trembled.

Xue w.a.n.gxu's gaze brightened slightly. He praised, ”The Painting Remnant Scroll is as extraordinary as expected.”

Zhou Yunhai took a deep breath and said slowly, ”Cave Master Xue's students are truly extraordinary.”

As they spoke, the bottom of the white clouds dissipated. The moisture did not disappear and finally formed droplets of rain. The rain fell from the sky and drew out crystal lines. The Ink Garden had a burst of rain under the sunny sky.

Looking at this raining essence, Zhou Xieyi's face was bloodless. He was certain this was something the Zhou Family had not comprehended. He couldn't help but ask Zhang Yi, ”What did you comprehend?”

”It should be a seal essence. It can become a sword seal or used in forging items. It is an offensive tactic,” Zhang Yi was a gentleman and answered Zhou Xieyi's question honestly.

”Junior Sect Brother Ding Ning!”

In the next moment, he looked at the calm Ding Ning with a mixture of emotions. Only he knew that just now, he had found many doorways but was unable to enter. Then Ding Ning had kicked him into one of the doors. Behind that door was true meaning.

”Congratulations, Senior Sect Brother.” Ding Ning looked at him and said softly, ”Do not thank me. You should understand this is a coincidence. No grandmaster can see the true meaning of the scroll so quickly like this. This is just a coincidence.”

Zhang Yi pondered Ding Ning's words and found it was correct.

He was sure that grandmasters of Xue w.a.n.gxu's level were much lesser in power compared to the creator of this painting. There weren't many people in Changling that were stronger than Xue w.a.n.gxu.

At this time, to everyone's shock, the Painting Remnant Scroll in front of them once again released a wave of primal energies of the universe.

However, this wave of primal energies quickly scattered like someone had just started a stroke, but was immediately disrupted.

Bang!

A m.u.f.fled sound occurred midair above Ink Garden like someone had rang an enormous and invisible metal bell.

”What happened?” Nangong Caishu looked left and right in shock. Everyone's gaze finally landed on Xie Changsheng who was standing with his palm held in front of him.

Xie Changsheng's expression was strange and spectacular.

”I seemed to have comprehend something, but … not completely?” he said embarra.s.sed. Then he put his hand back in front of his eyes and continued to look at the painting.

What was this? With a hand covering his eyes, he was able to look at the Painting Remnant Scroll and comprehend from it?

Completely cold all over, Zhou Xieyi thought of the movement Ding Ning had performed in front of Xie Changsheng previously. He was immediately filled with disbelieve and couldn't help but look at Ding Ning.

”You were so focused just now. What did you see?” Ding Ning was softly asking Nangong Caishu at this moment.
