Chapter 1733: 1733
As Zhang Xuan and Little Amulet had communicated through telepathy, Sword Saint Xing was unaware of their interaction . He thought that it was because he had said that the painting could be the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn that his son had suddenly gotten so excited .
However, to only start laughing after several minutes had passed… his reaction speed was a little slow!
"Xuan-er…"
Seeing how his son's laughter did not stop even after some time, Sword Saint Xing could not help but call him out of worry .
"Un!" Zhang Xuan quickly recovered from his laughter and nodded . "No matter what, we'll have to get that painting!"
He might still have been a distance away from Ancient Sage, but his parents were already at Sempiternal realm consummation . They were ready to take the final step forward at any moment . If they could acquire the painting and successfully achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage, there would be very little for him to worry about for the rest of the journey through the Temple of Confucius!
"Very well!" Hearing the words of their son, the Xingmeng Sword Saints nodded .
Weng weng weng!
While they were chatting, the seal on the Canvas of Four Seasons was starting to waver under Zhao Ya's ceaseless attacks . It seemed as if it would break open at any moment .
"Very soon…"
Upon seeing this sight, the eyes of the eight youths lit up in anticipation .
Kacha! Kacha!
While everyone was waiting expectantly for the seal to be undone so that they could take the painting away with them, the sound of something shattering apart suddenly broke the silence in the hall .
Astonished by this abrupt noise, the crowd quickly turned their gazes over, and to their horror, the frozen river depicted in the painting had actually begun melting .
"This is bad . We need to hurry up! Once spring arrives in the painting, we won't be able to undo the seal with cold energy anymore!" one of the eight youths exclaimed .
He quickly rushed to Zhao Ya's back and channeled his zhenqi into her body, providing her with the extra energy required to decipher the seal as quickly as possible .
The others also realized the urgency of the matter, so they quickly rushed over and channeled their zhenqi into Zhao Ya's body through a secret art . In an instant, the surge of cold energy exerted by Zhao Ya intensified, hastening the rate at which the seal was being undone .
"Spring arrives in the painting?" Knowing that Little Amulet was knowledgeable about the issue, Zhang Xuan quickly asked, "Does that mean to say that the seal is interrelated with the current season depicted in the painting?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
"As the Canvas of Four Seasons moves from one season to the next, the seal also has to alter accordingly in order to seal the energy in the painting and ensure that it doesn't leak out," Little Amulet explained . "I reckon that those fellows from the Hundred Schools of Philosophers calculated that it would be winter in the Canvas of Four Seasons at the moment, so they kidnapped your student to decipher the seal .
"The seal takes on the cold attribute when it is winter in the painting, allowing those who possess the Pure Yin Constitution to easily manipulate and decipher the seal . However, once spring settles in, the seal will change accordingly . If they don't have a corresponding power, it'll be impossible for them to continue deciphering the seal anymore!"
"Judging by how the glaciers are melting and rivers are starting to flow once more, the Canvas of Four Seasons has already started progressing from winter to spring . Should I help them decipher the seal?" Zhang Xuan asked .
To be honest, he had no idea what kind of energy would correspond to the spring seal . If he did not lend a hand to the Hundred Schools of Philosophers, there was a good chance that there would not even be a painting for them to fight over . If that was the case, he might as well help them for the time being and battle with them over the ownership of the painting afterward .
In any case, he had the Five Monarchs, more than a dozen tamed beasts, and many Great Sage artifacts in his possession . No matter how powerful the eight youths from the Hundred Schools of Philosophers were, he did not think that they would be a match for him .
"Do you think that it's a sheer coincidence that you arrived at the Hall of Great Accomplishment after breaking out of the snow dimension?" Little Amulet harrumphed .
"This…" Zhang Xuan was first taken aback for a while before his eyes lit up in comprehension . "The Canvas of Four Seasons is in its winter season at the moment, and the snow dimension is filled with frost as well . If there's a connection between the two of them, could it mean that…"
Having thought it through, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist, and the icy crystal that had been placed on the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe's altar materialized in his grasp .
The icy crystal was no longer as cold as it had been previously . On the contrary, he felt warmth and nourished by the crystal, as if life was finally returning to the world after a long period of frost . Reminiscent to the painting before him, the energy in the icy crystal was gradually progressing toward spring .
