Chapter 1308: You Cannot Die!
Wu Daozi said, "If I could truly turn lifeless objects into living beings, I would not be troubled by the problem before me."
Breathing life into brush and ink was no different from creating a spirit. Scarcely a single cultivator in the world was capable of such a feat.
If Wu Daozi truly possessed such an ability, he would have made a name for himself in this world long ago. Just as he said, his path would not be hindered by the blooming mountain flowers beneath this thick fog.
Chen Changsheng sat down and said, "Even so, it has still opened This Chen's eyes. It is clear that Fellow Daoist has profound attainments in the Art of Painting."
Wu Daozi shook his head and sighed softly. "What does it matter how high my attainments are? I used this to enter the Dao, but by the time I did, I was well past the age of vigorous youth. In many respects, I fall far short of other cultivators. I lack the energy to push further, and I have lost the chance to reach the upper realms."
Chen Changsheng said, "Fellow Daoist, it is a mistake to think that way. Cultivation has nothing to do with age. It is just like studying—mastery is what puts one ahead. By stepping onto this path, one's strength is replenished, and one's energy will always return to its peak. There are countless people who have reached the Great Dao through years of quiet accumulation. Why should Fellow Daoist be discouraged?"
Hearing this, Wu Daozi chuckled and said, "May your words come true."
He let out a breath, opened his hands, and asked, "What else would Fellow Daoist like me to draw?"
Chen Changsheng thought for a moment before saying, "Fellow Daoist draws objects and landscapes, but have you ever drawn a person?"
