Chapter 37: The Dream-Shocking Melody

"You are still under the effects of the 'Dream-Shocking Melody,' but you will revert after some time."

Chen Xinglan's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, making his joy short-lived.

"But you can take this opportunity to feel your divine consciousness. The next time you break through, following this feeling will make it much easier."

"Can I download this 'Dream-Shocking Melody' online and listen to it every day? Wouldn't that mean I would always be under the effect of cultivating divine consciousness?"

Chen Mobai had a good idea, his face full of hope.

"You're thinking too much. The 'Dream-Shocking Melody' is not just music; it is an auxiliary cultivation technique passed down by the Immortal Sect, derived from the 'Spirit-Shocking Melody.' Only by listening to it in person, with the singer fully devoted, can such effects be achieved."

Chen Baolan shook his head. Thoughts like Chen Mobai's were not uncommon.

"What is the 'Spirit-Shocking Melody'?"

Chen Mobai asked again.

"The first auxiliary divine technique of the Immortal Sect. After listening to this melody, a late-stage Core Formation cultivator can experience the realm of Spirit Transformation. Unfortunately, no cultivator has practiced it for two thousand years. Bian Dajia is the closest to mastering the 'Spirit-Shocking Melody' among the great masters of the sound path, but his spiritual roots are not up to par, and his cultivation is limited, so he can only master the 'Dream-Shocking Melody.'"

After listening to Chen Baolan's explanation, Chen Mobai drew a sharp breath.

"If that's the case, why not use the Immortal Technique 'Heaven-Patching' to refine Bian Dajia's spiritual roots? A great master who can master the 'Spirit-Shocking Melody' is invaluable and might even help our Immortal Sect gain a few more Spirit Transformation elders."

If Chen Mobai could think of it, the upper echelons of the Immortal Sect would not have missed it.

"The Immortal Technique 'Heaven-Patching' can only be performed by Spirit Transformation elders, and the two elders have been in seclusion for over three hundred years."

Chen Baolan finished, and Chen Mobai understood.

Bian Dajia is a sound path genius who emerged in the past fifty years, which is insignificant compared to the thousand-year lifespans of Spirit Transformation elders.

The three great halls and four great academies of the Immortal Sect would not disturb the two elders in seclusion for such a small matter.

"However, it is said that Meng Huang'er and Jiang Yuhuan have very excellent spiritual roots and are not inferior to Bian Dajia in their talent for the sound path. They are the true Dao seeds that the Immortal Sect has gathered from the thirty-six celestial caves and seventy-two blessed lands."

"If they can reach the Core Formation stage, the 'Spirit-Shocking Melody' of the Immortal Sect can be played again."

"The higher-ups of the Immortal Sect are likely waiting for them to grow, which is why they have Bian Dajia personally lead the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe on a national tour. While opening the minds of cultivators nationwide, they are also accumulating blessings and virtue for them, hoping that one of them will eventually reach the Core Formation stage."

Chen Baolan, who often accompanied the Spirit Pivot Academy's expedition team, was a member of the three great halls of the Immortal Sect and knew more than Chen Xinglan.

"Opening the minds of cultivators nationwide?"

Chen Mobai caught the key point and looked at Chen Baolan with doubt.

"Do you think the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe is touring the country so hard, performing twenty shows in each celestial cave and blessed land, just to earn a few good deeds?"

Chen Baolan countered, and Chen Mobai nodded subconsciously. Isn't that the case?

"The upper echelons of the Immortal Sect have a grand vision. Think about it, if Bian Dajia can help you grasp the divine consciousness that can only be cultivated at the late-stage Qi Condensation stage, why would they keep it to themselves? With such blessings, they naturally want to benefit the masses."

"After Bian Dajia became famous thirty years ago, he was arranged by the Immortal Sect to tour the country, working hard to open the minds of most of the talented Qi Condensation seeds of the Immortal Sect and help them understand divine consciousness."

"Otherwise, do you think why a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like Bian Dajia can become a teacher at the Dance Instrument Academy and be respected by everyone? It's because the current middle-level Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Immortal Sect were mostly enlightened by his 'Dream-Shocking Melody' during his eight-year national tour."

"If you successfully reach the Foundation Establishment stage in the future and meet Bian Dajia, you should show him the respect of a teacher."

After listening to Chen Baolan's explanation, Chen Mobai felt a deep respect for the great master of opera, Bian Yiqing.

Although this was partly due to the Immortal Sect's promotion, Bian Yiqing's dedication to touring the thirty-six celestial caves and seventy-two blessed lands for eight years to open the minds of the Qi Condensation seeds of the Immortal Sect from thirty years ago is a great virtue, worthy of a living sage.

"In that case, Meng Huang'er and Jiang Yuhuan are also walking the path that Bian Dajia once took, opening the minds of our generation of Immortal Sect cultivators."

Chen Mobai thought of this, and his initial confusion about his sister Wang Xinying's fanatical idol chasing seemed small-minded in retrospect.

"Their cultivation is still shallow, but with Bian Dajia's guidance, they will eventually reach a higher level. Last year, they were admitted to the Dance Instrument Academy without an exam and are now semi-studying and semi-performing, hoping that one of them will eventually master the 'Spirit-Shocking Melody.'"

When Chen Baolan said this, he lacked confidence.

The Spirit Transformation stage is extremely difficult.

Even with a heavenly spiritual root, the chance is only one percent.

Although Meng Huang'er and Jiang Yuhuan have excellent spiritual roots and the support of the Immortal Sect, with the personal guidance of a great master like Bian Yiqing and their admission to the Dance Instrument Academy, the possibility of them reaching the Core Formation stage, according to the calculations of the Star Observing Palace's elders, is slim.

If it weren't for the intense desire of a few Core Formation elders for the 'Spirit-Shocking Melody,' the Immortal Sect might not have invested such enormous resources in them.

Of course, Chen Baolan did not tell Chen Mobai this, as it would discourage his nephew's enthusiasm for cultivation.

If Chen Mobai knew that the chances of the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe's two members reaching the Core Formation stage were slim, he, with his ordinary true spiritual root, would feel even more hopeless.

"If one day, I could listen to Meng Huang'er sing for me every day, that would be great."

But Chen Baolan had no idea what his nephew was thinking. If he knew Chen Mobai's wish, he would definitely roll his eyes.

Even the three great hall masters of the Immortal Sect might not have such a privilege.

Chen Mobai knew he was dreaming, but he was still a young man. Although his will to cultivate was firm, some worldly desires had not yet faded with age and the elevation of his realm.

Perhaps when he was old, he would laugh at his youthful fantasies.

"Let's go, it's rare to hear Bian Dajia's 'Dream-Shocking Melody.' Let's celebrate."

At this moment, Chen Xinglan was already calling for Chen Baolan and Wang Jianyuan to have a few more drinks. Chen Baolan happily agreed, but Wang Jianyuan shook his head, indicating his sleeping daughter on his back.

"You go ahead and drink. I'll take Xinying back to rest."

Wang Xinying, at the fourth layer of Qi Condensation, had also experienced the 'Dream-Shocking Melody,' but she did not grasp the divine consciousness. However, the benefits were significant. After a good night's sleep, the realm she forcibly broke through with the help of pills might stabilize.

Chen Mobai helped call a taxi and sent his uncle's family off.

Before leaving, Chen Yulan gave a gift to Chen Xinglan.

"Brother, you have broken through to the ninth layer of Qi Condensation. This is a small token from Jianyuan and me. Don't think he's not nice to you, but he is actually very happy for you."

"Let's go, why so many words!"

Wang Jianyuan, feeling a bit embarrassed, closed the front car door with his daughter in his arms.
