Starting From Fooling the Elderly into Registering for a Cultivation Training Class - Chapter 236
Chapter 236: A Song That Wrenches the Heart, Where Can I Find a Knowing Ear?
On this day.
All over the world, major platforms and media outlets were broadcasting the same content.
Qin Chuan was hunting monsters.
To expand the influence of cultivation, he had specially planned a live broadcast of hunting monsters.
Once the news was released, it caused a sensation in the world. Everyone was looking forward to this live broadcast.
In the early stages of the live broadcast, the number of viewers online skyrocketed, breaking all previous viewership records.
Almost everyone in the world was watching.
…
On the surface of the sea, a young man with long hair and a long green robe was defying science. He was floating in the air.
Below the young man were hundreds of giant monsters.
The monsters’ mouths were wide open, and their strong claws slapped the surface of the sea, creating waves hundreds of meters tall.
The young man smiled relaxedly as if the monsters below him did not exist.
Then, the young man spread his palm. With a flash of light, an exquisitely carved ancient zither appeared in his hand.
The young man picked up the zither and strummed it gently. He was testing the tone of the zither.
“Not bad!” The young man muttered a few times, satisfied with the sound of the zither.
The young man sat cross-legged in midair.
He cleared his throat and began, “Friends from all over the world, thank you for watching.
“Let me introduce myself. My name is Qin Chuan, and I am from Xia Country. I am an immortal cultivator.
“I founded the Immortal Sect that everyone knows about.”
When he said this, those who were watching expressed shock.
At the same time, they also realized and understood why those people from the Immortal Sect were so powerful. It turned out that they were also cultivators.
For a time, everyone’s desire for cultivation grew.
Qin Chuan continued, “I know that everyone wants to cultivate. You want to become stronger through cultivation to protect your families and your country.
“I promise this day will come soon.
“But before that, we have to eliminate our common enemy, the monsters.
“Alright, that’s enough!
“I’m going to start fighting monsters.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the helicopters flew away from Qin Chuan and stopped at a relatively safe distance.
The close-up images were taken care of by the miniature drones carrying cameras.
Presently, the monsters on the surface of the sea were enraged by Qin Chuan’s actions.
Roar!
They let out loud roars towards Qin Chuan.
The wind that came with these snarls was strong enough to uproot a hundred-year-old tree.
But to Qin Chuan, it was like a gentle breeze. He wasn’t even swayed.
He cast a glance at the monsters beneath him, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a charming smile.
“East Wind Breaks, for everyone!” Qin Chuan said with a smile.
Then, he strummed the strings of the zither. A musical sound instantly drowned out the sound of the surging waves and the roars of monsters.
At this moment, time seemed to have stopped. The air instantly became quiet.
The ancient zither music seemed to travel through time as if it was weeping and lamenting like it was telling a sad story.
All over the world, the audiences watching the livestream were also stirred by the sound of the zither. They closed their eyes in unison and became intoxicated.
On the surface of the sea, when the monsters heard the sound of the zither, their roars instantly stopped.
They were also admiring the tune played by Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan played to his heart’s content. In his excitement, he even hummed a few lines.
“Fallen chrysanthemums strewn on the ground[1].”
Qin Chuan felt a little awkward, but he immediately opened his mouth to sing again, “Who is using the pipa to play a song called “East Wind Breaks”?
“Maple leaves dye the story, and I’ve seen through to the ending…”
About two minutes later, the music stopped, and Qin Chuan also stopped singing.
For a time, all over the world, the audiences who were watching the live broadcast, for some reason, had tears on their faces. They could not stop their tears.
After that, many people were still immersed in the sad music, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.
But soon, the sound of the zither came again.
This time, the song was not as sad. Instead, it was very brisk, aggressive, and invasive.
Qin Chuan’s ten fingers moved like an illusion, swiftly strumming the zither’s strings, leaving only afterimages.
When the monsters on the surface of the sea heard this song, they appeared particularly excited.
As though they were bungee jumping, their bodies twisted, and waves rose from the surface of the sea, one after another.
But at that moment, Qin Chuan suddenly stopped moving, and the sound of the zither stopped.
The monsters were stunned.
They stared at Qin Chuan with resentment in their eyes. It was as though they were saying, Why did you stop? We can still dance to our heart’s content. Continue playing.
Qin Chuan’s countenance remained the same; he was smiling.
He placed his hands on the strings of the zither and said indifferently, “A song that wrenches the heart, where can I find a knowing ear[2]?”
Then, Qin Chuan’s eyes flickered with a cold gleam. An intense killing intent erupted from him.
His hands strummed past the strings quickly.
Clang!
Accompanied by the sound of the zither, the zither in Qin Chuan’s hands suddenly emitted a five-colored sound wave.
The sound waves formed a circular arc, extending from the initial few centimeters to finally, several hundred meters.
Swoosh!
The sound waves swept across the surface of the sea, just like the laser beam waves of a laser cannon. However, their sharpness was vastly different. The laser beam waves could not be compared to these sound waves.
Just like that, those monsters that emerged from the sea surface were instantly sliced into two by the sound waves, and they instantly lost their lives.
A single sound wave was enough to kill hundreds of monsters. Even a level-two monster would be vulnerable against it.
Qin Chuan was currently at the Nascent Soul Stage. He used the 6th class of the True Formula of Heavenly Note to activate the stage six Seven Extremes Zither. Even a level-three monster would not be able to withstand the sound wave.
At this moment, the audience watching the live broadcast was dumbfounded.
Is this the power of immortal cultivators?
So powerful!!!
Comparable to a god!
I want to cultivate! I must cultivate!
For a moment, almost everyone in the world became passionate about cultivation. They wished they could go to Xia Country now.
Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, the deep blue seawater was dyed blood red.
Looking at the remains of the monsters on the surface of the sea, Qin Chuan flicked his sleeves and stored the corpses into the system space.
Monster was a cultivation resource that he would not waste.
To the monsters, Qin Chuan’s strength terrified them.
The monsters were intelligent. Although not as developed as humans, they were still smarter than imagined.
They knew that Qin Chuan was extremely powerful.So evenn if they attacked him together, they wouldn’t be able to defeat him.
In the face of an undefeatable enemy, the monsters also understood the art of war.
The best strategy was to leave.
Run!
The monsters shared a tacit understanding. They dived into the sea, swinging their tails hard as they charged towards the depths of the sea.
When he saw the monsters running away, Qin Chuan remained calm and collected. He was definitely not anxious.
He put away the Seven Extremes Zither and stood up.
He used his spiritual will to inform the cameramen in the distant helicopter to fly further away. There would be a big scene later. They needed to avoid being affected.
After hearing this, the crew members didn’t hesitate and quickly moved. They only stopped when Qin Chuan said that it was okay.
“Now, it’s time to witness a miracle!”
Qin Chuan lowered his arms and slowly raised them up.
In the next moment, the surface of the sea became extremely turbulent, sweeping up huge waves that were dozens of meters high. There was also a loud rumbling sound.
