Royal School of Painting of eastern continent

The **Royal School of Painting of eastern continent** focusses on the Intent of the painter that is carved in the paintings. Its another way to learn Dao's or train your own Intent.

Another way is to learn from the Intent about the topic the painter painted or thought about.

> "After all, with impressions one is not taught about the topic, but is considered to learn on his own."
>
>

> "Also, painting is not just a way to hone your Intent, but it can also help in learning the dao for the painter themselves," the headmaster said. "It can be a form of meditation where you lose yourself in the paintings for hours and hours on end."
> "While your hand and brush wander on the canvas, your mind can wander on the concept of what you are trying to learn. Honestly, it is one of the best ways to try and learn a Dao. Even more so than looking at paintings from others themselves I would say."

## Hall of Fame:

There are a total of 12 paintings in the Hall of Fame at the moment that are the best paintings that have been made throughout the entirety of the school's existence.

### The Summer's Dream:

> The painting was a picture of a small girl in a white dress with a bright smile, playing in a field of flowers. The entire painting looked so beautiful, and yet… the ones looking at it could only feel the sadness.
>
>
> "This painting is called The Summer's Dream. It was painted by an excellent painter over 17 thousand years ago, and the subject of the painting is the painter's daughter, who he lost to some incurable physical conditions."
>

### The War God's Fury:

> The second painting was from 12 thousand years ago, a whole 5 thousand years after the first painting.
>
>
> It was a piece called 'The War God's Fury', and it depicted a man killing an army of thousands of cultivators in a single strike.
>
>
> Apparently, it was made by a man who once had to fight against an entire sect of cultivators to rescue the woman he loved that had been kidnapped. However, before he could rescue her, the sect killed the woman, earning the man's fury.
>
>
>
> He had fought them all in a bloody life-and-death battle where he had killed them all. The painting obviously depicted a rather exaggerated version of the events, but it still managed to send across the feeling of fury and anger through the painting.
>
>

### the mountain:

> It was a painting of a mountain, nothing else. It was a single mountain on a white background that wasn't even properly colored in at all.
>
>
> The mountain was without any greenery, so it was entirely brown in color, and it also wasn't the best-looking mountain at all.
>
>
>
> However, the Intent that came through the painting was not something Alex had expected. Even more than the first two paintings, this was something else entirely.
>
>

### White:

> The 4th painting, after the mountain, was a canvas with no paint at all. Alex was at first confused about what was going on, but the Intent of the painting made it somehow clear to him what it was.
>
>
> Snow.
>
>
> The canvas was supposed to be full of snow. He could feel the bone-chilling cold coming from the canvas that held nothing. Someone really had managed to place their intent on the pages without putting any paint in there.
>
>
>
> "This is a painting from 9 thousand years ago called White. It depicts a snowstorm that his previous majesty and the majesty had to go through in the Northern Continent when they went to take part in the first InterContinental Competition.
>
>

### The Emperor's Ascent:

> The 5th painting in line was a piece from 8 thousand years ago called The Emperor's Ascent. It was a piece depicting the glorious day when Long Tiankong was crowned the Emperor of the continent after his father gave up the throne to enjoy the last of his life in peace.
>
>
> The painting detailed the tremendous amount of people that were gathered in the square where the coronation had taken place, and even the silhouette of the Azure Dragon hung in the sky.
>
>
>
> Cheers, Glory, Excitement. Alex could feel it all through the painting, reminding him of the day he himself became the King of the Southern Continent.
>
>

### 6th Painting:

> The 6th painting was from 7 thousand years ago and depicted a person's battle against a sea monster. It was an incredible-looking piece of art that most definitely belonged in the hall.
>
>

### 7th Painting:

> The 7th painting made Alex feel like he was standing in an inferno. It was a painting that was drawn with the Fire Dao Intent woven into the paintings, so anyone who looked at it could feel the Intent of the Dao coming through it.
>
>

### When the Kingdom Dies:

> The 8th painting was from 6 thousand years ago and depicted an execution.
> "It's called 'When the Kingdom Dies'. It's a painting of the execution of the 5 kings that tried to dethrone his majesty 6 thousand years ago. From right to left, we have King Fang, Queen Fen, Queen Jang, King Lin, and King Xuang. All 5 kings were executed back then, their kingdoms replaced to mere colors, and new kings and queens placed on the throne."
>
>

### The Oathbreaker:

> This painting depicted the Azure dragon and some raw sketches of a bird, snake, and tortoise, all of whom were standing in front of a dead white tiger.
> "It's called 'The Oathbreaker'," the headmaster said. "It depicts the time when the White Tiger broke his oath to not interfere in this realm and tried to take over. Fortunately, his majesty, the Azure Dragon, and the other rulers of the continents went and defeated him."
>
>

### The Moment of Victory:

> The image depicted of the Dragon Emperor with a giant sword, swinging it around, killing a black panther beast in the process.
>
>
> "This painting is known as the 'The Moment of Victory'," the headmaster said. "It depicts the war that took place in the Western Continent where all 3 continents joined together to go and destroy evil," the headmaster started explaining.
>
>
>
> "It's the moment in the war against the Central continent where our emperor won a decisive battle against one of the White Tiger's subordinates. This was the battle that turned the tide against the beast, allowing us to fully defeat them back then."
>
>

### The Players' Descent:

> Alex looked at the painting in a bit of confusion as there wasn't anything in that painting that made him think of players.
>
>
> The painting was instead just a piece of art with a landscape view of the city, with the sky wide above it. In the sky was where the clouds were marked in lights of bright green and deep gold, surrounded by lightning that seemed to scar the sky itself.
>
>
> The wind seemed to blow the clear clouds, while lightning snaked around it scattering through the sky. The golden light shined from nowhere and brightened everything in the vicinity.
>
>
> The city was colored green and gold, reminding Alex of the cauldron his master had given him so long ago. The lightning seemed normal, not like when one was breaking through or forming pill clouds.
>
>
> It also only remained in the sky, never falling down.
>
>
>
> created by Tian Honglui of Tian Family

>

### The Lightning God's Anger:

> The painting depicted of a single thing, a single giant white line that went from the sky to the ground in a single stroke. A lightning strike.
>
>
> Just from the shape and size of the lightning, as well as the fear and destruction intent that came from the painting, he could tell that it was neither the Tribulation lightning nor the Pill Cloud lightning.
>
>
> The painting he was looking at depicted what was most definitely a Heavenly Judgment lightning.
