I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory

Chapter 270.1

This situation was too confusing for him!

One must have a profound understanding of painting, coupled with a bit of talent to discern and to have a chance of capturing the martial intent on paper and making it vividly come to life.

But even then, its merely a chance.

Among the painters who came for the selection, they could be considered the most outstanding of the present day, yet they could only capture part of it, getting the form right but not the essence.

Hes a carefree little Emperor. How could he possibly see through it?

Moreover, he actually drew it in advance, which is even more baffling.

Could it be that he knows what Im thinking?

He was very puzzled and really wanted to know.

So, he visited Lin Beifan on the Dragon Boat the next day.

Your Majesty!

The Master Painter, holding the piece of sh*t drawn by Lin Beifan, asked, How did you figure it out?

Lin Beifan simply smiled, I just casually figured it out. Whats so hard about that?

The Master Painter blinked blankly, this answer was as good as no answer at all.

Not hard?

He would have found a successor long ago if it werent hard!

The Sword Elder beside him explained with a smile, Our master has an exceptional talent, having already seen through all the mysteries of the world! To him, the sword is a path, the spear is a path, and even painting is a path! Its only with our masters guidance that we could make further progress. Therefore, its not surprising that he could discern the intent in your martial art technique!

Is that really so? the Master Painter questioned.

Of course, we are all contemporary Grandmasters who value our reputation above everything. Theres no need for us to deceive you! the Peerless Spear Immortal said with a smile.

The Master Painter looked at the two Grandmasters before him and fell silent.

Through their conversations over the past few days, he had already learned that these two Grandmasters were indeed Lin Beifans disciples and genuinely respected him.

They said it was precisely because of Lin Beifans guidance and training that they had made rapid progress.

Although Lin Beifan did not practice martial arts, his talent and understanding of the martial path were extraordinary.

But he had not expected that the other partys talent in painting was also outstanding, even better than his own.

Could this be a monster in human form?

Then how did Your Majesty manage to draw it in advance? Could it be that you have a mind-reading technique, able to see through peoples hearts? the Master Painter pressed further.

This question was something the Sword Elder and the Peerless Spear Immortal also wanted to know, and they turned their heads to look at him.

This question is even simpler!

Lin Beifan laughed and said, Master Painter, its because I noticed that you stood on the shore for a long time after you left, watching a turtle and a snake fight and looking as if you had gained some insight. With a little thought, I naturally managed to guess the test question correctly!

I see! the Master Painter suddenly understood.

But what if I hadnt set this question? Wouldnt you have been wrong?

Lin Beifan said casually, Then I would have been wrong. Why so serious? Im just doing it for fun!

The Master Painter was speechless. That argument is quite reasonable.

In fact, he might have missed it if he hadnt looked at it a few more times.

Do you also understand painting, Your Majesty? the Master Painter asked earnestly.

Being able to convey the essence of martial arts through a painting that seems nonsensical at first glance and enabling others to gain insights from it means a skill level comparable to his own.

Such ability qualifies one as a peer in the same field.

Of course, I understand. Im particularly good at abstract painting! Lin Beifan said with a smile.

The Master Painters mouth twitched. Indeed, very abstract!

Your Majesty, this is a painting I made before. What do you see in it? the Master Painter took out a painting and solemnly handed it to Lin Beifan.

It was a painting of a chrysanthemum swaying in the wind and rain, withering away, carrying a desolate beauty.

However, Lin Beifan only took one glance before saying, What youve painted here is a set of sword techniques, which would fit the name The Falling Flower Rain Sword Technique! The wind and rain here represent the sword, the flower represents the person. The Sword Qi is piercing, continuous like rain! The person is just like this flower, withering away amidst the Sword Qi, gradually losing everything!

The Master Painter praised, Well said, it is indeed a sword technique! It was a technique I realized one day while watching chrysanthemums wither in the wind and rain. People are like chrysanthemums; no matter how splendid they are, they are extremely fragile in the face of natures might and wither in the storm. Time is like a sword, the wind and rain are like a sword, each sword cutting down a life!

Lin Beifan shook his head, Not necessarily so!

The Master Painters gaze sharpened, Please enlighten me!

Even the most fragile flower has its strength, can exude a fierce aura, and can fight against the heavens and the earth!

Lin Beifan picked up the brush, dipped it in yellow paint, and then continued to fill in the drawing.

As he painted, he sang out loud: When autumn arrives on the eighth day of the ninth month, my flowers bloom, outshining a hundred others! The fragrance will pierce through Changan, the whole city clad in golden armor!

(TLN: Changan was the capital of many ancient Chinese dynasties, most notably during the Tang Dynasty.)

Just hearing this verse, anyone could feel the chilling aura of killing intent.
