Chapter 270.2

Looking at the painting again, it has completely transformed.

In the painting, the once withering chrysanthemums, each supporting the other, seemed to be clad in golden armor, standing proudly like warriors, their fierce aura piercing the sky.

Even the wind and rain falling from the sky seemed to be scattered by this powerful aura.

In the world, only the chrysanthemums remained!The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Such dominance!

This The Master Painter was greatly astonished.

He was not only surprised by how Lin Beifans few strokes had changed the paintings artistic conception.

He was even more amazed that the painting incorporated a murderous intent and sword intent. Each chrysanthemum represented a sword intent, rising to the sky to confront and ultimately defeat the Falling Flower Rain Sword Technique.

To confront the forces of nature with the fragile body of a chrysanthemum and emerge victorious?

How did you achieve this? the Master Painter couldnt help but ask.

One flower, one world. One leaf, one Tathagata.

Lin Beifan put down his brush and smiled, Each of these flowers is like a world! I use the power of these worlds to fight against the natural forces within the world. How could I not prevail?

The Master Painter was taken aback. This rationale made sense.

Whether its the world within a flower or the outside world, a world encompasses everything and infinitely vast.

Human abilities are limited, life is finite, and to see through a world is no easy feat.

Perhaps, only the legendary Great Grandmasters or Earthly Immortals could achieve such a feat.

And now, the other party had used a flower as the prototype to paint the embryonic form of a world, reversing the great natural forces, which was truly terrifying!

Anyway, it was something he couldnt achieve.

He didnt know if he could ever paint a world in his lifetime.

Your painting skills surpass mine! the Master Painter said with sincere admiration.

You flatter me! Lin Beifan snapped open his paper fan.

Afterward, the Master Painter continued to seek guidance, and the two enjoyed a lively discussion.

The Master Painter was extremely happy. He had pursued the art of painting all his life but rarely found a companion. For over a hundred years, he had been lonely, thinking he would carry this regret to his grave.

But just before his time was coming to an end, he met a kindred spirit whose realm in painting far exceeded his own.

Just a little bit?

The Master Painter said with a pained expression, I can smell the scent of Babys Breath, July Scholar Red, and Mandala Flowers in this wine Goodness, at least leave me some, youve nearly picked them all!

Actually, I did this for your own good!

For my good? The Master Painter was dumbfounded.

Of course!

Lin Beifan said proudly, Do you know why your painting skills havent improved over the years?

Why exactly The Master Painter looked over with a seeking gaze.

Because you pursue perfection too much!

Lin Beifan said with a smile, In your paintings, you strive for thoroughness and purity in every aspect. But remember, the Great Dao has fifty, but Heavens operation has forty-nine. Even the heavens arent perfect, so what makes you think you can achieve perfection?

The Master Painter fell into deep thought.

If Lin Beifan had been an ordinary Emperor, he would have simply smiled dismissively and not taken it seriously.

But since the other party had already proven his ability in painting, he couldnt just ignore it.

Could it be that his lack of progress was because of his pursuit of perfection?

But is perfection wrong?

At that moment, Lin Beifan continued, Perfection is one kind of beauty, but imperfection is also beautiful! The moon has phases of waxing and waning, and each scene has its own beauty! By only chasing the most complete, you miss out on other beauties! So, its better to let go, and youll discover that you gain much more!

After hearing this, the Master Painter seemed to have an epiphany and respectfully asked for advice, Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty. I have learned a lot! But knowing the person without knowing the reason, what do you think I should do?

Just as the saying goes, A myriad of flowers can dazzle the eyes!'

Lin Beifan said righteously, So, bring all your flowers to me, and Ill help you brew them! Freed from the entanglement of flowers, your path forward will naturally clear up!

The Master Painter:
