Chapter 3072 Dao Emperor Painting
Lu Yun was stunned. He didn't expect that Liuli Star Lord would be so determined to follow Taoist Taixu to travel the world.
But on second thought, Liuli Star Lord's concerns are understandable. After all, the situation of Liuying Taoist God is not optimistic.
He nodded and answered readily: "Liuli Xingjun's filial piety is admirable. If she wants to go out and explore the world, I will naturally not stop her."
Upon hearing this, Liuli Star Lord's eyes flashed with gratitude, and he quickly added: "Uncle Master, don't worry, I have already made arrangements for Liuli Star. I have a Dao body of a high-level Dao God sitting here, plus Liuli Star's heritage, there won't be any problems even if I'm not here. Moreover, since the destruction of the Blood Lotus Divine Court, the overall strength of our Liuli Star has made a qualitative leap."
Taoist Taixu nodded with satisfaction: "Since you two little guys have discussed it, then I will take you back to Liuli Star first, let the girl take care of the affairs, and then we will set off together."
The three of them set off immediately, tearing through the void, and returned to Liuli Star in a flash.
Liuli Star Lord arranged everything in a swift and decisive manner, explained everything clearly to the elders, and then stood in front of Taixu Taoist Master with Lu Yun, waiting to set off.
After returning to Liuli Star, Taoist Taixu looked at Lu Yun with a smile and said, "Boy, what did you gain from going to Qianliu Ruins this time?"
Lu Yun scratched his head and chuckled: "Master, I have emptied that fairy mountain."
Taoist Taixu was stunned at first, then he burst into laughter: "You kid, you are really taking advantage of others! However, on the road of cultivation, you can't be greedy blindly. It is the long-term way to stop when you are ahead."
After the laughter, Taoist Taixu's face turned serious. He warned him earnestly, "My boy, you must remember that the road of cultivation is full of dangers. Being too greedy will often lead to disasters and even the loss of your life."
Lu Yun's heart trembled, and he nodded seriously. The words of Taoist Taixu were like a revelation, making him realize that being too greedy could indeed bring disaster to himself.
"By the way, where is the ancient painting you got from the Qianliu ruins? Take it out and let me see it." Taoist Master Taixu suddenly remembered something and spoke.
Lu Yun quickly took out the ancient painting from his storage ring and carefully handed it to Taoist Master Taixu.
Taoist Master Taixu took the ancient painting and unfolded it.
The scroll shows a magnificent picture of mountains and rivers, but the painting skills seem a bit immature, the lines are rough, and the composition is a bit messy.
Taoist Taixu commented bluntly: "This painting skill, tsk tsk, really can't be praised."
Lu Yun smiled awkwardly and explained, "Uncle Master, this painting... is the work of Emperor Dao."
"Dao Emperor?" Taoist Taixu raised his eyebrows, with a hint of surprise in his tone, "The Dao Emperor's paintings are so... plain and simple?"
Lu Yun was also a little confused. Could it be that Daodi's painting skills were really so poor? He asked tentatively, "Uncle Master, why do you think Daodi wants to paint?"
Taoist Taixu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Perhaps, he simply likes painting. Even though he has mastered the art of painting, he has never forgotten his hobby. He did not rely on his powerful realm to master painting by force, but retained this pure love."
"If you succeed in merging with the Dao, you will be immortal. The Dao Emperor will be an eternal and immortal existence in the endless years and chaotic universe."
Taoist Taixu's tone was filled with yearning and helplessness, "I am only one step away from that step, but this step is like a natural chasm, difficult to cross..."
He sighed, as if remembering something, "Back then, the Taoist Master Qianliu also tried to merge with the Dao, but ultimately failed. He died and left behind these Qianliu ruins..."
"Boy, you don't need to know too much about the level of the Immortal Dao Emperor yet. You have to walk one step at a time and eat one bite at a time. The most important thing is to take every step steadily."
Taoist Taixu patted Lu Yun on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.
"This ancient painting was created by the Lingxiao Dao Emperor. The Lingxiao Dao Emperor has a strange personality, but he is also a man of extraordinary talent."
"He left behind 36 ancient paintings in his lifetime, divided into nine sets, each set with four paintings. Each painting contains Ling Xiao Dao Emperor's understanding of the way of the sword, as well as a test. Those who pass the test can obtain Ling Xiao Dao Emperor's inheritance and become his true disciple."
Taoist Taixu paused and continued, "However, it is extremely difficult to collect a set of ancient paintings. The one you got is the second one. You should first comprehend this ancient painting and see if you can gain anything. In Dahong Sword Heaven, many people are collecting the ancient paintings of Taoist Emperor Lingxiao, but so far no one has been able to collect a complete set. Most people use the tests in the ancient paintings as a reference to improve their own swordsmanship."
Taoist Taixu stared at Lu Yun with a sharp gaze, "Boy, have you ever tried to comprehend this ancient painting?"
"I dare not act rashly. I will wait for my uncle to come back before making a decision." Lu Yun answered respectfully, describing the almost insane state of the wandering Taoist god. "I am worried that there is something strange about this ancient painting, so..."
Taoist Taixu laughed and interrupted Lu Yun, "You are quite cautious. The method to comprehend the ancient painting of Taoist Emperor Lingxiao is quite simple. You need to reach the level of Taoist God, enter the world in the painting with your soul, and comprehend the swordsmanship in it before you can pass the test."
He stroked his beard and continued, "Moreover, only Taoist gods can participate in this inheritance. A Taoist master like me has no chance." When Taoist Master Taixu said this, there was a hint of regret in his tone.
"If I can't collect a set of four ancient paintings, won't I be stuck in the Dao God Realm?" Lu Yun keenly grasped the key.
Taoist Taixu nodded, "That's right. So many people, after trying to comprehend, found that they could not collect a set of ancient paintings, so they chose to use the tests in the ancient paintings as a reference, walk their own path, and eventually achieve the position of Taoist master."
"Boy, in my opinion, you should first comprehend the swordsmanship in this ancient painting. If you can collect a complete set in the future, you can naturally obtain the inheritance of Lingxiao Dao Emperor; even if you can't collect it all, it will not affect your own swordsmanship practice." Taoist Master Taixu patted Lu Yun on the shoulder and suggested earnestly.
Lu Yun's mind suddenly became clear, and he finally understood the intention of Taoist Master Qianliu in giving this ancient painting to Taoist God Youyin.
Taoist Master Qianliu must have wanted to examine whether Taoist God Youyin had the talent to inherit the Taoist Emperor Lingxiao's legacy. Unfortunately, Taoist God Youyin was ultimately unable to comprehend it and was buried with him.
"If it weren't for my uncle's guidance, I really wouldn't know what to do with this ancient painting." Lu Yun said gratefully. He didn't even dare to imagine what would happen if he rashly tried to comprehend it.
