Jiang Wang finally understood what it meant when the Myriad Immortal Palace claimed that "one person is tens of thousands of immortals".
After cultivating the liver, gallbladder, spleen, hair, blood, bones … everything in the body into an "immortal", every part of the body would be an "immortal". It was not an exaggeration to say that one person was tens of thousands of immortals.
The Five Immortals Sect used appearance, sound, smell, taste, and touch as the five immortals. Jiang Wang had thought it was very special back then. Now, it seemed that it was born from this.
The opening text on the left took up one-sixth of the entire painting. Apart from the text, the main body of the painting was a person.
A bald, naked person with no female characteristics on the upper body and no male characteristics on the lower body. The person's gender was completely blurred.
This person's depiction was very detailed. It could be said that the slightest detail could be seen. The hair, skin, and flesh were all very clear.
Ordinary eyes, nose, and mouth. Apart from gender, this was a very normal "person".
It was like a man, but also like a woman.
However, even though this person's depiction was so clear, once you closed your eyes, you still could not remember what this person looked like.
Because it was too "normal".
It was like any person you would meet in your life.
It could be replaced by anyone, and it could also be replaced by anyone.
The "tens of thousands of immortals" cultivated by the Myriad Immortal Palace was such an image.
Around this person, there were countless small circles of light.
Looking carefully with rapt attention and touching with the power of the soul. One would discover that in every circle of light, there was a faint immortal shadow, and all of them … were worshiping this person whose gender was blurred.
Tens of thousands of immortals!
This was too great.
Jiang Wang kept sighing in his heart.
The scene of tens of thousands of immortals worshiping was reflected in the painting, and it was so shocking. If it could become a reality … how terrifying would that be?
Every part of the body would become an immortal. And these "tens of thousands of immortals" would be under one's command, and all of them would contribute to one's strength.
Jiang Wang was very sure that the "Tens of thousands of immortals worshiping" painting in his hand was a copy. Due to the strength of the copy, many pictures and even the charm of the words could not be accurately conveyed.
First were the words at the beginning. Because they were similar to Dao characters, Jiang Wang was able to sense their meaning under the illumination of the divine light and his Divine Sense, which was far stronger than that of cultivators of the same level. However, he couldn't be sure that what he had experienced was the entire True Meaning.
That replicator obviously didn't have the ability to write such words. He was just copying the strokes, which happened to lack the most important true meaning of the Dao text.
The true Daoist text was one where regardless of whether one was literate, wise, or foolish, one would be able to understand the meaning as soon as one saw the words.
In Jiang Wang's view, their greatest value was that they opened up the boundaries of his imagination, allowing him to peek into the great cultivation landscape of ten thousand immortals.
The essence of the scroll should be the "Ten Thousand Immortals".
If Jiang Wang's guess was correct, each immortal's shadow on the scroll represented a cultivation method — a method to cultivate a certain part of the body into an "immortal".
However, no matter how Jiang Wang sensed it, those immortal's shadows only had faint traces of divine charm and didn't have any real feedback.
Only the immortal's shadows that corresponded to the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose had a stronger divine charm.
It was likely that the replicator had only cultivated these four secret techniques. From this point of view, that replicator might have been the successor of the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace — he could imagine that when the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace was destroyed, that person had hurriedly replicated the sect's inheritance treasure and then fled. There should be more than one replicator, and there should be more than one copy of the scroll. After a long time, one of the copies fell into Jiang Wang's hands.
This could be imagined. However, it was hard to imagine who could destroy the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace, which was able to create the cultivation wonder of ten thousand immortals!
Jiang Wang subconsciously thought of the two bloody words that had worn away the shackles — Daoist thief!
Putting aside the distracting thoughts, he returned to the scroll itself. The divine charm of the four immortal's shadows was indeed stronger, but he couldn't accurately sense the information that the replicator wanted to leave behind.
Perhaps that replicator's cultivation was far from perfect and couldn't truly recreate the inheritance, or perhaps it gradually dissipated over a long time …
In short, by experiencing these four immortal's shadows, he could get some fragments of inspiration, but he couldn't get the specific cultivation method.
It was no wonder that the Five Immortals Sect had only created a set of nondescript Daoist techniques after inheriting this scroll for so long.
The so-called shape, sound, smell, taste, and touch — the "touch" of the five immortals were probably gathered by the ancestors of the Five Immortals Sect to fit the five senses system and also to separate themselves from the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect to avoid disaster.
Jiang Wang held the scroll of the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace and was speechless for a while.
Was it a treasure? Of course it was. Just from its opening up the boundary of cultivation, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was priceless.
The four immortal shadows with strong divine charm were also very valuable. If he could understand it thoroughly, he might be able to recreate the four cultivation methods — the problem was, how could he understand it thoroughly? When could he do it?
Those inspirations were too fragmented. The Five Immortals Sect had been passed down for so many years and passed down from generation to generation, but they still couldn't understand it!
Although Jiang Wang was very confident in himself, he didn't think that he could rely on himself to make up for the achievements of several generations.
To put it bluntly, the scroll of the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace in his hand was just for him to broaden his horizons! There wasn't a single cultivation method that could be used. Even if there was, it was just a drawing that was hung in a place unknown. He wanted to get it, but he couldn't see it.
Moreover, it was a replica!
It was definitely not worth it to fight with the No Door of Hell for such a scroll of the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace.
However, Jiang Wang didn't intend to go back on his word.
Firstly, if he handled it well, he might not have to fight with the No Door of Hell. Secondly, not everything in this world could be measured by whether it was worth it or not.
The sect masters and elders of the Five Immortals Sect had stood out to support him on the Tianya Stage.
Although he and Chung Geng Sheng had agreed to protect the Five Immortals Sect under the pressure of the Fishing Sea Tower, it had nothing to do with other grudges against the Five Immortals Sect.
However, it was already a fact that the Five Immortals Sect had reached this stage of destruction.
Jiang Wang sighed softly and slowly rolled up the painting.
Fan Qingqing, who had been observing his expression for a long time, suddenly asked, "Master, can you understand this painting?"
She was also an inner palace disciple, but she couldn't remove the divine power. The power of her divine soul was also very ordinary. She had always been confused when she looked at this painting. Although she was on a treasure mountain, she didn't know the true face of the treasure mountain.
"It's the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace."
Jiang Wang said casually, "Although it's a replica, it's still very valuable."
Fan Qingqing once again felt a deep sense of reverence. It was as if she was looking up at a mountain.
As expected of Tianjiao, a big country! Her own Five Immortals Sect had studied it for several generations before someone suggested that this painting might not be authentic. However, they couldn't confirm it.
Now, Jiang Wang had actually confirmed it with a few glances!
How knowledgeable were these top-notch people in Tianjiao?
With a heart full of reverence, Fan Qingqing took out a gorgeous jade booklet from the storage box and handed it to Jiang Wang. "This is a little bit of our ancestral master's understanding. Generations of sect masters and elders have summarized it. Perhaps it can give you some inspiration."
It was almost impossible for an inner palace disciple like her, who had experienced many hardships, to trust someone without reservation. Perhaps there was one or a few people like that, but they had already disappeared with the Five Immortals Sect.
If Jiang Wang could not understand the Myriad Immortals Pilgrimage Painting, then she might never have taken out this so-called understanding of the painting.
Her sincerity was reflected little by little with the value that Jiang Wang had shown.
Jiang Wang didn't feel offended. He could completely understand her caution. Fan Qingqing was now a lone bird in the cold winter. If she wasn't careful, she wouldn't be able to survive for long.
He took the jade booklet and said sincerely, "Thank you!"
