The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO-Chapter 1830 - 1827: Confirming Feelings

Ling Feng said gravely, "Elder, you are truly a Scholarly Celestial, with a cultivation that astonishes the earth and skies, and your comprehension of the laws far surpasses ordinary people. But why did you leave behind a painting with incompletion within its artistic conception? I believe this painting holds special significance for you!"

"This painting is elegant, like a Mortal Fairyland. I can sense your mindset when creating this painting; it longs for a Mortal Pure Land. It is precisely this belief that drove you to create such a painting!"

"Life is most precious, love is even more valuable! It seems you were willing to sacrifice yourself, even destroy your beloved other paintings, to create the final piece, and preserve only this one because it is special to you—perhaps only faith can exceed life and love!"

As Ling Feng’s words fell, the Painter fell silent. He closed his eyes showing a look of reminiscence, as if he was recalling something.

After a long time, the Painter lightly sighed, "I did not expect your thoughts to be so meticulous. Indeed, this painting was created with a naive thought back then. I hoped someday to live in such a world, without wars, chaos, scheming, or oppression!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"But such a world does not exist!" the Painter said softly. "Later, I understood this truth, yet I was still unwilling to destroy it, for this painting harbors the purest hope within my heart!"

Ling Feng said nothing; he knew the Painter must have an unmentionable past, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so persistent about this painting.

"Enough of this topic!" the Painter smiled and said, "My final piece is actually unfinished, so I need someone to complete the last stroke. I hope after you acquire the piece, you’ll help me make it whole!"

Ling Feng curiously asked, "The last step, what is it?"

"You’ll know when the time comes!" The Painter smiled faintly. "Of course, once you complete the last step, the painting will be yours!"

Ling Feng asked, "Elder, I am very curious, what kind of painting did you create back then!"

"It’s a painting that unveils life and death, and breaks free from reincarnation!" the Painter said softly. "I engraved all my life’s insights into that painting; if you can comprehend that painting, you essentially receive my lifelong legacy!"

Ling Feng’s eyes lit up, feeling a bit excited: "Then your cultivation is..."

"Immortal Realm!" The Painter smiled slightly. "I was the first person to reach the Immortal Realm born from the Ancient Ruins."

Indeed, the Immortal Realm cultivation! But simultaneously, Ling Feng furrowed his brows, isn’t one supposed to advance through the Path of Immortality to reach the Immortal Realm? Moreover, mustn’t an Immortal Realm expert associate with a plane, and when the small worlds perish, the Immortal Realm experts perish along!

But within the Ancient Ruins, all small worlds are broken, so it logically shouldn’t be possible for an Immortal Realm expert to exist!

Ling Feng voiced his doubts, which made the Painter smile: "Have you forgotten? I pursued the way through painting! Thus, painting is my existence that I always insist and guard. I reached the Immortal Realm because of this!"

Ling Feng considered thoughtfully, seemingly understanding something, yet new questions seemed to arise, which made him feel somewhat dizzy!

"Stop overthinking, with your current realm, you cannot grasp the meaning of what I said!" the Painter said, "You just need to know, reaching the Immortal Realm requires two essential conditions: one is the presence to guard, the other is obsession. Only those with immense willpower and determination can become Immortal Realm!"

"The existence of the Path of Immortality only tests whether a cultivator has great obsession; thus, going through the Path of Immortality isn’t the only way to achieve Immortal Realm!" the Painter said gravely.

Ling Feng’s eyes widened; one can reach the Immortal Realm without following the Path of Immortality? This completely overturned Ling Feng’s understanding!

But since these words came from the mouth of an Immortal Realm expert, Ling Feng couldn’t help but believe!

"It’s truly unbelievable!" Ling Feng murmured to himself.

The Painter’s expression hardened: "Now, I will tell you the location of my painting. Within six months, I hope you can fulfill my final commission and help me draw a perfect ending to my life!"

Ling Feng nodded and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, elder, I will certainly accomplish it!"

As soon as the words fell, the Painter smiled faintly. He pointed lightly in the air, and Ling Feng felt as if his mind was exploding; countless information surged into his mind!

Though it was only a fleeting moment, Ling Feng felt it had been a long time.

As Ling Feng gasped for breath, the Painter gradually disappeared before him: "Fated one, hope you can complete my entrustment soon, for in six months my painting will automatically transfer to another place, and I hope my lifetime insights can be passed down!"

Ling Feng watched the disappearing Painter, took a deep breath: "Elder, I will complete it, for you, as well as for myself and my homeland!"

As the Painter disappeared, Ling Feng distinctly felt a powerful repulsion emanating from the painting. With a blur before his eyes, he already exited the world within the painting, returning to the room.

"Brother Feng!" Before Ling Feng recovered his senses, a fragrant silhouette rushed forward: "You scared me to death! I was so worried for you!"

Ling Feng’s face showed a hint of awkwardness, somewhat at a loss; feeling Cheng Minxue’s soft body, he had a faint bitter smile: "Well... Xueer, I’m fine now, so please let go!"

"I won’t let go, I just won’t let go!" Cheng Minxue clinging onto Ling Feng said muffledly: "Let me hold you for a moment, I am so frightened right now!"

Ling Feng was silent, sighed inwardly, feeling a bit troubled as things seemed to develop in the direction he least wanted!

At this moment, Cheng Minxue was even more shy, her face fully flushed. Seeing Ling Feng appear, she couldn’t constrain the excitement within her heart and rushed over, and now regaining her senses, she didn’t wish to rise due to shyness, so others couldn’t see her blushing face.

However, she confirmed one thing: she seemed to truly like Ling Feng; she understood her feelings!
