"Artistic Path Ninth Stage!"
As the breakthrough in Artistic Path occurred, a deluge of insights into the Artistic Path flooded his mind, overshadowing the joy in Li Hao's heart, and immersed him in an epiphany.
The impassioned painting just now, which used the heart of the painting to probe into the Saint, depicted the indescribable Daoist Charm of the Saint, cleansing Li Hao's spirit and mind.
Ninth Stage meant Li Hao's painting had entered the Dao.
Through discerning the essence beyond the appearances of all things, capturing their spirit and essence, and depicting their intrinsic Daoist Charm, painting was the Dao, and the Dao was painting.
"Is it finished?"
The Sword Master sensed that Li Hao had stopped painting and felt the sensation of being scrutinized to the bone dissipate; his gaze shifted to Li Hao's drawing board.
Li Hao came back to reality, slowly took down the scroll, and handed it to the Sword Master with both hands.
