In the Immortality Cultivation World, every cultivator who founded a sect and left behind a legacy had been an outstanding figure of their age.
Likewise, they would leave behind more or less something—either to prove they had once been there or to prepare for the calamity of their sect's destruction.
Take Qi Lijing, for example. Before ascending, he had tossed the useless iron sword he had carried for years onto Immortal Mountain. It had transformed into the famous Heavenly Sword Peak, where the intent of nine swords remained, leaving his disciples and descendants something to remember him by.
Or take Jing Wensheng, one of Empress Ji's Nine Incarnations and the first pavilion master of the True Essence Pavilion. He had left behind a self-portrait, which Lu Bei had seized and used as a Trump Card against Yinglong.
The First Generation Monster Emperor also had portraits passed down through the world.
Not many—only a few hundred thousand. Certainly fewer than a million.
The various races of the Myriad Monster Kingdom were fanatical about portraits of the First Generation Monster Emperor. Aside from flattering him by bringing one home to hang up and burning incense before it every day to show their loyalty, there was another crucial reason.
The First Generation Monster Emperor's portraits could fight. Three or five ordinary Mahayana Stage Monster Kings could not even approach one. Bringing one home was tantamount to gaining another magic treasure that could suppress the kingdom's fortune.
Once one's cultivation reached the First Generation Monster Emperor's realm, everything closely related to him possessed Great Divine Ability. The Imperial Seal of the Myriad Monster Kingdom was one example, the Star Banner he had personally refined was another, and the portraits recording his form and appearance were yet another.
