บท 191: The Gleam of Light within History

The eighth portrait in the Lingyan Pavilion was of Wang Zhice.

Everyone with a slight understanding of history was well aware that Wang Zhice was a true legend. He was born in poverty and had no talent for cultivation, yet he was able to successfully enter the Heavenly Dao Academy for study. During Taizu's reign, he spent all his time as a scribe in the court until suddenly, when he was forty-some years old, he comprehended the Dao in a single night and cast starlight over the entire city of Chang'an, going straight from Purification to Ethereal Opening and then going on to become one of the strongest of the generation.
