Chen Qing was curious and walked over.
Xu Min followed at his side.
The plaque beside the rosewood stand was simple: "Replica of the Mountain River Society Map, a copied work, possessing only one ten-thousandth of the original's form and intent. Yet gazing upon it can calm the mind and spirit, allowing one to faintly sense the vast artistic conception of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers."
"Mountain River Society Map?" Chen Qing was slightly stunned.
He had heard this name before. It was a Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure passed down through generations of the Yan Kingdom Imperial Family, said to possess unfathomable power!
Could the painting before him actually be a copy of its replica?
He could not help taking a few more looks.
The exposed portion of the scroll was rendered with vigorous, forceful brushwork. There were swords, treasure towers... and beside every pattern stood an exceedingly vague silhouette.
The silhouettes were not the result of poor craftsmanship, but an expression of some wondrous artistic conception. The more intently one looked, the more hazy and indistinct those figures became.
"What is painted on this... are they Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasures?"
Chen Qing could not help asking as he pointed at those peculiar patterns in the painting.
That treasure tower was exactly identical to the Tianbao Tower.
Standing beside him, Xu Min softly replied, "That's right. Though this copy is crude, it vaguely depicts the thirteen legendary Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasures."
"These blurred figures beside them are the forefathers throughout history who completely mastered and brought forth the power of the Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasures."
"Thirteen Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasures? Thirteen forefathers?" Chen Qing's heart shook.
Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasures transcended ordinary spirit treasures, and each possessed extraordinary might.
Those who controlled them were all earthshaking great powers.
"Mhm." Xu Min nodded, lowering her voice further.
