Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 275
Chapter 275: Master Knows How To Play Music, The First Song Of The Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, Boundless Overworld
Day after day.
Under Chu Kuangren’s training, every day was suffering for the Daoists, and every day was like a new hell to them.
However, they too noticed that their rate of improvement was so fast that it surpassed their imagination.
Within less than three months, every one of them had broken through at least a small stage in their cultivation, which tremendously increased their combat strength too.
This was especially for Shang Qingxue.
She was only at the Golden Core Realm when she arrived, and now, she was at the Late-Stage Nascent Soul. She broke through one whole realm!
Anyone would no doubt be shocked to death if they learned of this.
On this day.
Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and the others were still battling the sword qi clone. One month ago, none of them was a match for it alone, but now, they could each hold their own in a solo fight with it.
Meanwhile, somewhere else.
Shang Qingxue was still suffering as she continued to train inside the Scorching Inferno.
Surges of cold waves surrounded her, isolating her away from the heat. She could now persist in the heat without any injuries for eight hours straight. Her progress was huge.
Far away.
On a mountain peak.
Chu Kuangren was monitoring everyone’s training progress from there.
“Although it’s a little difficult for them, the results of their training are not bad.”
Their training was anything but a little difficult.
Throughout these days, Nangong Huang and others had escaped death several times. It was because of his Spring Breeze Technique did Chu Kuangren dare to train them this way. If it was up to the other sage orthodoxies, would they dare to do this to their Daoists?
They would no doubt be afraid of accidentally injuring their precious geniuses.
“Master, this is the guqin you requested.”
At that moment, Lan Yu came up to him with a guqin in her hands.
“Oh, it’s done.”
Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up with excitement as he looked at the guqin.
Ever since he had obtained the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, he had been looking forward to having a guqin to activate the technique. Hence, he requested Elder Ruyan to have one made for him.
Although it took one month to make, the guqin was finally done.
He held the guqin and studied it carefully.
Since Elder Ruyan had to go find someone to specially craft that guqin for him, which took a month to be completed, that guqin was naturally extraordinary. Even the materials and craftsmanship poured into it were all the best.
The guqin looked similar to common guqins in the market. Its body was black and it had a faint glow to it. Although it was made from wood, it had a metallic touch to it.
Chu Kuangren plucked one of the strings and out came a clattering echo.
Its sound was loose but powerful, and it had an appealing charm to it as well. There was no noise to it.
Standing next to him, Lan Yu looked at Chu Kuangren in surprise. Having been by his side for so many years, that was the first time she learned that Chu Kuangren knew how to play the guqin.
“Lan Yu, do you want to hear me play a song?”
“I do.”
Lan Yu nodded.
“Then I shall play one for you.”
Chu Kuangren sat on the mountain peak with the guqin on his thigh. His fingers were placed on the strings of the guqin with his eyes slightly close. It was as if he was feeling or sensing something.
After that, a mysterious surge of Daoist Rhyme started to spread from his body.
The moment he opened his eyes, his fingers moved, and out poured many beautiful musical notes from between his fingers, echoing around him.
The guqin music echoed in the sky like a beautiful melody.
The instant the guqin music rang out, the winds and clouds around him stopped. Besides the sound from his guqin music, nothing else could be heard.
Inside the Black Heaven Sect.
The Black Heaven’s Second and Third Forefather softly cried out in surprise.
“Guqin music? Where’s it coming from?”
“That little fella’s the one playing the music. Wait, he knows music as well?”
“Hold on a second, this guqin music…”
After both Black Heaven’s Second and Third Forefather listened carefully to the guqin music, they could not hold back anymore as they immediately rushed out of their cottages and headed towards Chu Kuangren’s location.
Even Fairfrost Sage could feel something as well, and she too had left her.
The few Sages and Honorable Supremes of Black Heaven Sect arrived at where Chu Kuangren was to see him playing music. They were all shocked.
That person in white continued to strum the guqin as boundless music echoed all around. More importantly, they could sense that an overbearing surge of Daoist Rhyme was constantly surging within that guqin music.
That surge of Daoist Rhyme was so overwhelming that even the Sages were surprised.
As everyone listened to the guqin music, they could feel that the scenery around them had started to become clearer and a vast feeling welled up in everyone.
Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and the others had also heard the guqin music from afar.
They suddenly stopped mid-training.
Even the sword qi clones did not continue to fight as well.
Nangong Huang and the others listened to the guqin music that their minds seemed to be drawn to. It was as if they had merged with the land beneath them and they could feel its vastness.
Towering mountains, endless flowing water, lush forests, wind everywhere… Every single plant, leaf, and flower possessed its own unique musical charm.
As Nangong Huang and the others were immersed in that vast boundless feeling, memories of their training during the past few days started to surface in their mind.
The techniques of the sword qi clones, the sword intent from the Sword Mountain, and even the Godly Phoenix’s flames were all converted into pieces of knowledge that fueled their understanding.
At that moment, they entered into a state of epiphany under the guidance of the guqin music.
“I can’t believe the little guy can delve into the Dao through music. This is something only a Musical Daoist Grandmaster can do. Besides, a Daoist Rhyme that’s so dense is practically unheard of, and I’ve never heard of any Musician Daoist that could achieve the same thing as well.”
“I’m not even sure whether the few elders of the Heaven Chord Sect can pull off something like this. This feat alone is simply terrifying.”
“What else does he know?”
The Sages found it hard to believe.
Although they had witnessed a lot of incredible and even magical feats from Chu Kuangren, it seemed like he had endless surprises for them.
It was as if the things he knew were endless.
The musical tune finally ended.
However, melodies of the guqin music continued to reverberate throughout the heavens and earth for a long time.
It was only after a long while did the world around them return to normal.
“Master, what’s the name of this song?”
Lan Yu asked with her mouth agape and in shock.
She too knew how to play musical instruments and could be considered an expert in terms of musical Dao. However, she was only a little river stream, which was basically incomparable to Chu Kuangren’s mighty ocean.
Someone with such skills in musical Dao could be said to have reached the pinnacle of what they could achieve and be a renowned figure in the world!
“Of the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, this shall be the… Boundless Overworld!”
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
There were a total of eight songs in the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, and each of them could be deemed the peak of musical Dao. That Boundless Overworld was the first song in the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords
“Boundless Overworld, Boundless Overworld…”
“What an awesome song.”
Lan Yu repeated the song’s name twice and praised it sincerely.
“Would you like to listen to it again? I can still continue… Huh?”
Chu Kuangren was going to say that he could play that song again. However, he suddenly exclaimed and could not help but smile when he looked at Nangong Huang and the others.
“Those guys have reached a state of epiphany.”
Chu Kuangren was slightly surprised.
After some thought, he figured out that it was due to the Boundless Overworld.
Although he did not imbue spiritual power into this song, the Daoist Rhyme contained within it was strong enough to benefit Nangong Huang and the others a lot.
“Heavenly Radiant Sword Art!”
An overwhelming surge of Daoist Rhyme erupted when Murong Xuan opened his eyes and he cast one of the twelve Sage Techniques that Chu Kuangren created for the Black Heaven Sect.
Within the Heavenly Radiant Sword Art, the sword qi of that technique was vast and unmatched!
One sword attack alone instantly destroyed the sword qi clone!
Somewhere else.
Swirls of Yinyang Daoist Rhyme circulated in Nangong Huang’s eyes.
After a ray of Divine Yinyang Light merged into the sacred sword in his grasps, he too unleashed a sword attack that was filled with an endless harmony of Yin and Yang Daoist Rhyme.
That one sword attack too instantly destroyed the sword qi clone!
Jun Yi, Qin Wushuang, and the others had also successfully defeated the sword qi clones.
Meanwhile, inside the Scorching Inferno.
Shang Qingxue slowly stood up as she channeled the might of her Deep Freeze Physique to its limit. Surges of cold waves attacked the barrier mercilessly like a raging tide.
Cracks soon started to appear on the barrier before it shattered into countless spots of light. As the cold waves spread out from within, it instantly froze everything within a three meters radius.
Shang Qingxue singlehandedly broke through the Scorching Inferno for the first time!
