My Master Knows It All

874: 245 Chapter 4 874: 245 Chapter 4 Initially, the Immortal Lord Mingzhong challenged the Heavenly Dao, but he failed.

Yet, the Immortal Lord Mingzhong was a person of great ability; although he failed, he managed to survive against the heavens with unconventional methods and lived another life through reincarnation.

He grasped the essence of the world and ultimately created the “Prosperous Age Picture Record”!

Emperor Skywind, pointing at the white scroll, said, “The ‘Prosperous Age Picture Record’ is closely connected to the prosperous era you live in, to the world you exist in.

The ‘Prosperous Age Picture Record’ can utilize all the power of this particular world.

Initially, the picture record might only harness the power of a village or the power of a sect, perhaps just a branch within the sect.

However, slowly, as you connect with more worlds, as the prosperous eras you paint in the picture record grow larger, the power you can harness will also increase.

You can draw upon the power of an entire sect, even the entire dynasty, perhaps even one world, the power of the entire Great Thousand World.

The stronger your prosperous era becomes, the stronger you become.

If your world decays or becomes chaotic, your power will also weaken.”

Speaking thus far, Emperor Skywind paused for a moment, then continued, “You’ve already seen before, how the Immortal Lord Mingzhong summoned the entire dynasty’s power to confront the Heavenly Dao.

Unfortunately, in the end, the Immortal Lord Mingzhong still failed.

However, he left behind the picture record, which then was inherited by my predecessor.

Regrettably, that predecessor also failed, and then, the picture record fell into my hands, and I, too, failed.

Although we failed, when we both existed, by relying on the ‘Prosperous Age Picture Record,’ we still saw a glimmer of success in opposing the Heavenly Dao.

It’s just that we all lacked that final step.

Now, this picture record has been passed down to you, and our unfulfilled wishes will be carried on by you.”

Cao Zhen quickly absorbed everything Emperor Skywind had said; a prosperous era, closely linked to this world, the more prominent your own world’s prosperity, the stronger you become.

Conversely, in a world in decline, you become weaker.

But the question is, he wasn’t an emperor, so what constituted his prosperous era?

The Hundred Peaks Sect?

However, when Immortal Lord Mingzhong opposed the Heavenly Dao, the scene clearly showed he had harnessed the power of the entire world.

Emperor Skywind, clearly an emperor, too, they both harnessed the power of a dynasty.

What about himself?

How could he harness the power of a dynasty?

It was clear that the power of a sect in the Hundred Peaks Sect, no matter what, couldn’t compare to the power of a dynasty.

Seeming to be in a great hurry, Emperor Skywind did not pause and continued, “This scroll, being entirely blank, is because our epochs differ, our prosperous ages differ.

And after we failed in challenging the Heavenly Dao, our prosperity vanished, naturally erasing the scenes depicted on the scroll.

What you previously saw through the scroll were merely some records left by our own power, not our prosperous age.

Your own prosperous era needs to be painted by you with a brush on this scroll.”

As he spoke, Emperor Skywind motioned with his hand, and a brush appeared out of the void, clearly a brush, yet it felt like a farmer’s hoe, a blacksmith’s hammer, a merchant’s scale weights…

imparting distinctly different feelings.

Emperor Skywind pointed to the brush and said, “This is the brush of prosperity, only with this brush can one paint a prosperous age on this scroll.

Furthermore, before you start painting the prosperous era, you would do well to learn how to paint.

Naturally, cultivating immortality also includes the way of painting.

The way of painting is different from cultivating immortality; being talented in cultivation doesn’t necessarily mean you will be good at painting, and I don’t expect your skills in painting to be profound.

However, at the very least, what you paint should look like something.”

Emperor Skywind, revealing a reminiscent look, said, “The second predecessor who inherited the Prosperous Age lacked skills in painting.

After obtaining the ‘Prosperous Age Picture Record,’ he tried painting himself but did it very poorly, almost unable to unleash the full power of the picture record.

Reluctantly, he later focused on cultivating the art of painting, and eventually dared to paint again, but the paintings he had done earlier couldn’t be removed.

Once produced in the picture record, a painting is permanent, unremovable.

You can only modify within it, but on a blank paper, scribbling is easy, modifying it, however, is immensely difficult.

Therefore, you must hone your painting skills well before drawing on the ‘Prosperous Age Picture Record’.”

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Cao Zhen’s face; painting way?

He probably didn’t need to study it any longer; he was already at level ninety-nine in the painting way.

As Emperor Skywind finished speaking, his form started to become more illusory.

He sighed and said, “My power is almost unable to sustain me now; I will impart the Prosperous Age Skills to you.

Only after you cultivate the Prosperous Age Skills and use the brush of prosperity, will you be able to depict your prosperous era on this scroll.”

With that, he pointed a finger towards Cao Zhen’s forehead, and suddenly, an endless expanse of profound and mysterious techniques emerged in Cao Zhen’s mind.

It was unclear how much time had passed before Cao Zhen finally opened his eyes, and in front of him, Emperor Skywind was nearly transparent, like a phantom.

“Alright, you now possess the Prosperous Age Skills.

The rest is up to you.

Everyone’s prosperous era is different, and I cannot guide you further.

Now, all I can do is see you off on your last leg.”

With that, Emperor Skywind’s figure suddenly dispersed, transforming into streams of light that settled in various parts of the great hall, and Cao Zhen felt the whole hall seemed to lift off.
