Nodding his head, Ye Tian Yun asked, 'System, show me the Nine Heavens Painting.'
[Nine Heavens Painting]
[Heavens bow, mortal cry. The Nine Heavens Painting captures the sky.]
[A mysterious and powerful ancient artifact. The painting is on a scroll and depicts a spacious land with distant mountains with a river flowing between them. The painting is divided into three parts, and the ancient words 'Everlasting Nine Heavens' are written at the center.]
'System, who made this painting? To be able to store a whole small realm, this painting should have been a well-known artifact, but how come I have never heard of such a thing?'
[Host, the creator of this painting, was a supreme existence from a distant realm. He used all of his intent to create it, thereby exhausting all his energy.]
'Oh? How does this painting work?' Ye Tian Yun asked.
[Inside the painting is a small realm, which can also be considered a private realm. However, it is a barren land. But there's one advantage of this painting - unlike Spatial Rings, any living being can enter this painting at its owner's will. Also, this painting can store almost anything, as long as it can fit. It is used especially to store treasure like spirit veins. They grow even faster in this painting and increases the cultivation environment by many folds.]
Ye Tian Yun had his eyebrows raised in surprise. 'Well, that's a really good thing - no, it's an amazing thing.'
'But the system, since you said that I could enter this painting, wouldn't that mean that the painting will be left unguarded after I entered it?'
[Yes, Host. That's one of the reasons why it is given at a low price.]
Ye Tian Yun scratched his chin while asking, 'So… there's no protection?'
[Host there is indeed some measure for this.]]
[A layer of complex array patterns bounds the power and ability it holds, and if anyone tries to open this painting, the arrays will stir up the rebound energy and cause a huge backlash.]
[However, this painting is not omnipotent. And you are indeed vulnerable if your enemy finds out about this painting or if he captures this painting while you're inside.]
[Even though you won't have any trouble at the start because no one can get in the painting or destroy this painting, you would still find yourself in a pinch because you won't be able to stay inside the painting forever.]
'Oh? Is there a time limit?'
[No Host, there's no time limit; it's your will and patience that will decide how long you can stay inside the painting.]
Ye Tian Yun shrugged, 'Since this is like a mini world for me, it should have enough space for many people. So maybe in the future, I can have some people in this painting.'
[Do this at your own risk, Host. According to legends, the Nine Heavens Painting was a formidable divine treasure that had been the cause of endless battles.]
[It exchanged hands, all its previous owners had had their spirits and souls extinguished. Therefore, this painting could be considered an ominous item]
Ye Tian Yun wasn't surprised by this. How could there not be a bloodbath for this treasure? However, he also understood that he couldn't just tell anyone about these paintings - he had to keep it as one of his most treasured secrets.
However, he was indeed interested in one thing, 'System, who were these previous owners?'
[This painting is known by different names in different universe realms. The previous owners had their own adventures and battles to get this. Some got it at a young age, while others fought for it at the peak cultivation realms.]
'Oh? So, am I the youngest, or there has been someone even younger than me?'
[Host, you will be the youngest to possess this treasure. The immediate older predecessor got this treasure at the young age of just seventeen.]
'Seventeen?' Ye Tian Yun was surprised, 'How did he get this? Were you the one who gave him?'
[No, Host. As mentioned earlier, everyone had their adventures and their own story behind getting this painting.]
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head and asked, 'So, who was this person?'
[This person was from a tiny world but had immense knowledge and talent. He reached the peak and found this painting in an auction.]
[He was God Emperor Nei Li, and this painting was called Myriad Miles Rivers And Mountains Painting.]
Ye Tian YUn nodded his head, 'Well, that's a long name right there. But a God Emperor? What is this cultivation realm? Is it higher than the Saint God Realm?'
[God Emperor was the peak cultivation realm of Nie Li's universe. In your Universe, the equivalent of God Emperor is way beyond Saint God Realm.]
Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but sigh at this, 'In my last life, I only reached the Half Saint Realm and was still four realms away from the Saint God Realm, and here you're saying Saint God Realm is nothing in front of a God Emperor?'
[Host there were mountains beyond mountains and heavens beyond heavens. So, you have a long way to go. But, one day, if you were to be successful in crowning yourself as the Heavenly Emperor, you will have a whole new door open for you - a door to the Multiverse.]
Ye Tian Yun shook his head. 'Well, it's still a long way to go before I even dream about such things. But, I will take one step at a time and reach the peak.'
'For now, let me buy this Nine Heavens Painting.'
[Nine Heavens Painting: 350,000 Kill Points. Would you like to buy it?]
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head in approval.
[Nine Heavens Painting has been added to your inventory.]
[Would you like to bind this painting with you right now?]
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, 'Yeah, I will bind it right now. Let's see how big is my private realm.'
