Even in the Endless Dungeon, after facing countless near-death experiences, Fang Lin had never shown such shock. His hands trembled as if devoid of strength.
The painting was ancient, its canvas yellowed with age and exuding a musty aura. Yet, the figure within remained clear.
In the painting was a woman, clad in cyan robes, holding a simple oil-paper umbrella. Her back was turned, standing atop a mountain, seemingly gazing into the distance.
Though it was just an outline, Fang Lin instantly recognized her. That figure belonged to his mother.
Not his mother in this life, but his mother from when he was a Pill Sovereign in his past life--the wife of Martial Lord Fang Qingye and his mother, Bai Qingxue.
The figure of his mother was deeply imprinted in his memory, a fragment of warmth that never faded, even in his current reincarnation.
Fang Lin found it unbelievable that a painting of his mother would be in the treasury of the Purple Mist Sect.
