"Qingxuantian… Could this be the Qingxuantian from the Nine Provinces Continent?"
The Queen was not certain. After all, the world was vast and full of wonders. There were countless places sharing the same name, to say nothing of people who shared the same name as well.
"The scenery in this painting is of a mountain range on the Nine Provinces Continent. That should be correct." Unlike the Queen, Chu Feng was very certain.
"How is the quality of this painting?" The Queen's underlying question was whether they could judge the painter's strength from the quality of the work.
"The painting is of excellent quality, and I can tell it was done by the hand of a True Dragon Spirit World Master," Chu Feng said.
"A True Dragon Spirit World Master? So Qingxuantian not only became a Spirit World Master, but a True Dragon Spirit World Master?"
"How did he become so powerful? I thought… he had long since fallen behind you." The Queen was somewhat surprised.
Though Qingxuantian was a legend on the Nine Provinces Continent and even in the Ancestral Martial Lower Realm— The Ancestral Martial Lower Realm was nothing but a backwater wasteland. Making a name for oneself there did not mean one could do the same in the Mortal Realm, let alone the Upper Realm, not to mention the Star Fields or the entire vast world of martial cultivation.
Moreover, Qingxuantian had shown no activity whatsoever outside of the Ancestral Martial Lower Realm. That alone was enough to suggest he might never have made any real waves.
For that reason, the Queen had always believed Chu Feng would likely never encounter Qingxuantian again, and that Chu Feng had long since surpassed him, leaving him far behind.
But today's discovery seemed to suggest otherwise.
"Chu Feng, are you certain? He's really a True Dragon Spirit World Master?" the Queen asked again.
"I'm certain. He is indeed a True Dragon Spirit World Master," Chu Feng said.
"What level among True Dragon Spirit World Masters?" the Queen pressed.
"I can't determine that precisely, but I feel it should be the early stage," Chu Feng said.
"Could someone else have painted this on his behalf? Could it not actually be his own work?" the Queen asked.
"No. The reason I'm so certain isn't just because the scenery comes from the Nine Provinces Continent — this brushwork is Qingxuantian's style."
"It has to be him," Chu Feng said.
"If his barrier arts have reached the level of a True Dragon Spirit World Master, then his cultivation certainly wouldn't be any weaker. After all, his primary focus was always martial cultivation. How did he become so powerful?" The Queen was very curious.
"It was actually foreseeable."
"Back then, he gave up the Four Symbols Divine Body. But my father said that the Four Symbols Divine Body was ranked third among all the God-granted Divine Bodies."
"Even if the old Qingxuantian didn't know the ranking, it was his own Divine Body. He should have been able to sense its power."
"The fact that he gave it up means he found a better option — or at least, one that was better for him at the time," Chu Feng said.
"Since this painting is kept here, the barrier painting master has very likely met Qingxuantian. We can ask him about it when the time comes," the Queen said.
"That's exactly what I was thinking."
Though Chu Feng was curious about Qingxuantian, he continued examining the other works, because he noticed that some of the paintings here were extremely ancient — creations from a distant era.
And while those paintings depicted different scenery, they all shared one thing in common: their formations were very likely the same.
The more he observed, the more such paintings he found. They were not only from the same period, but also from the same hand.
Given the broader context— More importantly, after careful observation, Chu Feng discovered that those paintings all shared a faint but unmistakable aura. It was very subtle, but Chu Feng had noticed it nonetheless.
