Chapter 66

"Clang clang clang——"

The music continued.

Yaomengji slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and forcibly calmed his mind.

When his eyes opened again, they were filled with an indescribable determination!

He was going to comprehend this overwhelming Dao melody!

We cultivators, by nature, defy the heavens; why should we fear a battle?!

His eyes were bloodshot, and his white hair stood on end, like an old man obsessed with his hobby, neglecting sleep and food, pouring all his energy into it.

Such music should only be heard in heaven, how often can it be heard in the mortal world?

This is the sound of immortals!

No, this is the sound of the Great Dao!

For Li Gongzi to play such music for him was a blessing he had earned in a hundred lifetimes. If he missed it, how could he talk about achieving enlightenment?

Under this vast and boundless Dao melody, he was like a small boat that could be capsized at any moment, but he still plunged forward, madly feeling the overwhelming Dao melody, risking his life to pour all his divine consciousness into it, hoping to glimpse a fraction of its profound meaning.

The music changed again and again.

Blood trickled from the corners of his mouth, and his crimson eyes also bled, a shocking sight.

He saw countless indomitable warriors, endless slaughter, and endless mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

No matter who it was, it seemed that from birth, they were destined to fight with others, to fight against the heavens!

In the end, whether victorious or defeated, it was enough to write a tragic song!

Ha ha ha, fighting against the heavens, the joy is boundless!

He was exhausted, but the corners of his mouth curled up, and his eyes sparkled with unprecedented brilliance.

To hear the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening!

Finally, the music stopped.

The golden dragon that had been joyfully soaring in the clouds suddenly trembled, then silently fell from the sky, returning to the pond.

The old turtle that had been lazily lying by the pond immediately opened its eyes and quickly moved its limbs, diving back into the pond without making a sound.

The giant trees that had been swaying also stopped, their bodies quickly contracting, becoming ordinary once again.

Dahēi's ears drooped, and he yawned.

The Immortal Jade, Dragon Fire Pearl, Demon Sword, and Thousand-Year Mystic Ice all retracted their light.

Everything that had just happened seemed like an illusion.

Qinmanyun was dumbfounded.

These creatures clearly knew that great people liked to experience life as ordinary people, so they also learned to disguise themselves as ordinary to blend in with the great people, to share in the Dao melody?

How shameless!

However, her heart was filled with envy.

No wonder even these trees could become spirits. If one could listen to Li Gongzi's music every day, receiving the baptism of the Dao melody, it would be hard not to become an immortal.

Yaomengji had also woken from that state, quickly wiping the blood from his face, pretending to be normal.

Linyuan naturally did not know what had just happened behind him. He looked up at the sky with a calm face, sighing inwardly.

Indeed, not even a single bird was attracted, the scene was too meager, not matching his skill.

He stood up and looked at Yaomengji, smiling, "How did you find it, Elder Yao?"

Yaomengji was about to speak when he felt a sweetness in his throat, his mouth already full of blood.

His heart trembled, but his expression remained unchanged. He swallowed the blood without a sound.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he said, "Master Li, you truly surpass me. Your skill is divine, I am far inferior, how can I have the qualifications to comment? This music lingers in my mind, giving me deep insights, I have truly benefited greatly!"

He secretly felt lucky. If he had spat out the blood, it would have indirectly exposed the great person's non-ordinary identity, affecting the great person's mood. If the great person got angry, he would be in trouble.

What a close call!

Clearly, even unconscious words and actions could manipulate the Dao melody, yet he preferred the identity of an ordinary person.

I have to swallow my blood to perform for you.

Yaomengji: Sigh, I am so hard.

"Thank you for your praise, Elder Yao." Linyuan was secretly pleased; this old man indeed knew what was good.

Yaomengji asked, "May I ask what the name of this piece is?"

Linyuan replied, "The name is 'Ten-Faced Ambush'!"

Ten-Faced Ambush?

Yaomengji and Qinmanyun both felt a jolt in their hearts, then could not help but laugh bitterly.

Wasn't the scene just now a ten-faced ambush?

This courtyard, besides being full of treasures, probably had a great person hidden in every corner, not to be provoked, not to be provoked.

Great people are indeed great people; even the names they give are full of profound meaning.

"This piece, though unheard of, is absolutely worthy of the title 'absolute'!" Yaomengji said.

Linyuan secretly laughed. The music of the cultivation world naturally could not compare to his. If he knew that he had countless such pieces, he would instantly become a fan.

Linyuan sighed lightly and said, "Since Elder Yao likes it, I should have given you the sheet music, but unfortunately, I don't have it ready. I will make it up to you later."

Pant pant pant—

Yaomengji's breathing suddenly became rapid, his face flushed.

Qinmanyun was the same, almost screaming in excitement.

"Calm down, stay calm! Absolutely no sudden movements." They chanted in their hearts, quickly adjusting their heart rates.

This is immortal music!

For a musician, a good piece means a great opportunity!

Even immortal artifacts cannot compare!

Originally, they thought that being able to listen to Li Gongzi's music was already a blessing, but they never expected him to offer the sheet music!

What a pleasant surprise!

Yaomengji hurriedly said, "Thank you very much, Master Li."

Linyuan smiled, "If you like it, remember to come and get it next time."

Since he had given him a jelly producer, he should also show some gratitude. Playing to his interests was indeed the right move.

Yaomengji did not dare to disturb Linyuan further, standing up, he said, "We have troubled you today, Master Li, we will take our leave."

"Take care, no need to see us off."

...

Walking out of the courtyard, Yaomengji sighed deeply, feeling a sense of loss.

Qinmanyun asked curiously, "Master, what's wrong? The great person agreed to give us the sheet music, shouldn't you be happy?"

"Manyun, your insight is still too poor." Yaomengji's eyes were filled with regret, shaking his head, "You always fail to understand the profound meaning in the great person's words."

Qinmanyun asked, puzzled, "Please enlighten me, Master."

"The great person said he wanted to give us the sheet music, but why didn't he give it now? Because we didn't complete the task he assigned us well!"

Yaomengji said bitterly, "We went to kill the Silver Moon Demon Emperor, but let him escape, even troubling Dog Master to intervene. The great person naturally disapproves. Sigh, I failed as a pawn!"

"If I had known this, I would have burned my cultivation to personally kill the Silver Moon Demon Emperor!"

"But the great person said we could come and get it next time?" Qinmanyun asked, puzzled.

"Are you stupid? Would you really have the nerve to directly ask the great person for it?!" Yaomengji said, frustrated, "The great person means to see our performance next time!"

"I see, I understand!"

Qinmanyun suddenly understood, sighing inwardly, realizing she still had a long way to go.

"Listening to the great person's Dao melody, I have gained much. I plan to enter seclusion to comprehend it."

Yaomengji solemnly instructed, "Since the great person likes the identity of an ordinary person, there are many things he cannot do personally. Therefore, you must complete every task the great person assigns, especially understanding every hint in his words. Remember, remember!"
