When one's mastery of painting reached the pinnacle, one would be able to draw an entire world into one's painting, such that one would not even be aware of one's existence.
Legend had it that tens of thousands of years ago, a top-notch painter had appeared in the Painter Guild. He had created an entire world with a beautiful lady, and after spending a prolonged period of time with the lady, he had fallen in love with her, and he had entered the painting, never to come out again.
Regardless of whether it was in terms of its artistic conception or its control over spacetime, the painting on the wall had far surpassed that of the painter who had fallen in love with his painting. Entering the painting, one would feel as if one had stepped into a massive folded space. It was so vast that one could not see the end of it.
There's spiritual energy in the painting, and it's extremely concentrated at that!
Standing on top of a boulder, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath as he marveled at the incredible prowess of Kong Shi's painting.
To be able to achieve such a feat, the other party's comprehension of painting must have surpassed Nine Stars, reaching the level of Reverting to Simplicity.
The world within the painting was no different from the outside world. With a flick of the Dragonbone Spear, it was able to pierce through space and traverse through it. More importantly, it was able to slowly recover even after it was destroyed.
If not for the fact that it was a painting, it would have been hard to imagine that it was a virtual environment.
"Father, Mother, give it a try and see if there's an opportunity for one to achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage!"
Zhang Xuan quickly found an empty space and called the astonished Xingmeng and Xingmeng over.
His cultivation was only at Aureate Body realm pinnacle at the moment, so he was unable to do so even if he wanted to. However, his parents were different. They had already reached the pinnacle of Ancient Sages, and they were only a step away from reaching that realm.
"Un."
Knowing that their son must have his reasons for saying such words, the two of them sat down and began cultivating quietly.
Hong long long!
As they cultivated, the spiritual energy in the sky began to pour into their bodies through their acupoints, causing their auras to grow stronger and stronger.
"I can indeed sense that the barrier will be breached at any moment … It's much easier than the outside world!"
Not too long later, the two of them came to a stop and stood up simultaneously.
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up in excitement.
Previously, it was just his and Little Amulet's just speculate that there was an artifact that could allow one to achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage.
"Since that's the case, you should find a way to achieve a breakthrough right now," Zhang Xuan said with a smile.
Earlier, he had tossed the experts of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers out of the Pavilion of Freezing Winter. The Ancient Sage who had tried to stop him earlier must have been so furious that he could have exploded on the spot.
If Zhang Xuan's parents had achieved a breakthrough to Ancient Sage at this very moment, even if the other party were to attempt to snatch the painting from him, he would still have to be wary of him.
"Breakthrough now?" Hearing those words, Heung Kensei and Sword Saint Meng glanced at one another and smiled bitterly. "You are underestimating the Ancient Sages!"
"It's true that the ancient era has been sealed here, and there's an aura and power that can allow one to achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage. However, it'll still take a lot of effort to achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage.
Heung Kensei said. "Back then, Kong Shi had three thousand disciples, but only seventy-two of them managed to reach Ancient Sage realm. Not all of them managed to make a breakthrough. If you want to make a breakthrough, that aura is crucial. However … if you don't have enough experience, even if you have it, it's useless! "
Zhang Xuan was taken aback. "That's true …"
His father was right.
It was impossible to achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage in a short period of time, and this was especially so for a breakthrough to Ancient Sage. If one's comprehension of the world was lacking, it would be impossible for one to achieve a breakthrough.
After all, not everyone in the ancient era was an Ancient Sage. Those who were able to reach Ancient Sage were all top-notch geniuses.
"What is the aura of a breakthrough to Ancient Sage?" Zhang Xuan asked doubtfully.
"I'm not too sure either. However, the later generations named it 'Aeon of Ancient Sage'. Only by accumulating enough experience and Aeon of Ancient Sage will one be able to achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage!"
Heung Kensei explained.
"Aeon of Ancient Sage?"
Zhang Xuan nodded. "Does it always exist, or does it disappear?"
"I'm not too sure where it comes from or why it would appear in the first place. However, it's likely to be a non-renewable resource similar to some rare ores. Once it's depleted, it'll be nigh impossible for it to appear again. Back then, there was no way for a new Ancient Sage to appear on the Master Teacher Continent, and panic persisted for more than a thousand years. Countless talented individuals have accumulated enough experience and experience, but they were still unable to make a breakthrough to Ancient Sage. It was due to this that they noticed the existence of Aeon of Ancient Sage! "
Heung Kensei explained.
As the head of the Zhang Clan, he was well aware of this part of the history.
That period of time could be said to be the most dangerous period of the Master Teacher Continent.
Many of them had reached Sempiternal realm consummation, but they were unable to make a breakthrough.
On top of that, the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe was constantly attacking them. For a period of time, Mingshi Tang and his people were so anxious that they nearly collapsed.
It was fortunate that the Ancient Sages who were still alive back then had made the decision to hibernate!
Only then did they resolve the crisis and calm the panic.
Otherwise, mankind would have long been wiped out.
"Aeon of Ancient Sage is something that is indispensable to achieving a breakthrough to Ancient Sage. Other than that, what else is required to achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage?" Zhang Xuan asked.
The main reason why his parents were unable to achieve a breakthrough was due to their insufficient accumulation of experience and experience.
In other words, other than Aeon of Ancient Sage, what else was required to achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage?
"Since ancient times, Ancient Sages have always been the representatives of the strongest experts. As such, there have been many studies on how to achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage. Firstly, one must possess the Aeon of Ancient Sage! Secondly, one must possess a Soul Depth of 30.0! Thirdly, one must possess a soul realm of a million kilometers! "
Heung Kensei said.
"Soul realm? A million kilometers? "Zhang Xuan frowned." What's that? "
It was understandable that Aeon of Ancient Sage required a Soul Depth of 30.0, but a soul realm of a million kilometers … What did that mean?
"It's very simple. You just have to condense your soul energy into a thread and extend it as far as you can. The greatest distance that you can extend is your soul realm," Heung Kensei said.
Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
His soul energy had been tempered by the lightning tribulation and heavenly flame, making it extremely powerful. He had tried to probe the surroundings, but he had never condensed it into a thread before.
"Do you want to give it a try and see what realm your soul realm has reached?"
Seeing the look on Zhang Xuan's face, Heung Kensei could tell that he had never tried it before, so he asked with a smile.
Without knowing the conditions required to achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage, no one would test their soul in such a manner. After all, condensing one's soul into a thread and extending it as far as possible was a huge test on one's soul. If one's soul were to break, one's soul would be severely damaged.
"Alright, I'll give it a try!"
Zhang Xuan nodded. His heart was filled with curiosity.
Taking a deep breath, he condensed his soul energy into a thin thread and extended it in a certain direction.
100,000 kilometers!
200,000 kilometers!
300,000 kilometers!
In the blink of an eye, he had already crossed 500,000 kilometers, and it still showed no signs of stopping. Furthermore, it felt like he had not even used a tenth of his soul energy yet!
