"Another Daoseed?" Wang Baole thought with a slight frown. Before coming to Hark's Desire City, he hadn't been too suspicious. But now that he was here, and seeing what was happening, he couldn't help but speculate.
"Logically speaking, there shouldn't be that many Daoseeds …." Wang Baole's eyes narrowed as he prepared to observe for a bit longer. If there were more than five Daoseeds in Hark's Desire City, then something was definitely fishy.
Any other cultivator would be limited by their cultivation base, and would be unable to make an accurate assessment. But considering the level of Wang Baole's cultivation base and experience, it was easy for him to tell that someone had intentionally set this up.
The goal of such a setup was … to use the bodies of others to nourish their own Dao. Most likely, all of the people with Daoseeds were cultivation furnaces.
If the person who had set this up didn't need them, then it wouldn't be a big deal. The cultivation furnaces would be safe and sound. But if that person had a thought, then the bodies of the people with Daoseeds would wither, and their Daoseeds would fly out and return to their true forms.
"Let's see if there are any other Daoseeds. Then we'll have all the answers." As he pondered, the concert began. As the beautiful melody echoed out, the entire Hark's Desire City was filled with a feast for the ears.
Even Wang Baole had to admit that the melody was beautiful, and that anyone who heard it couldn't help but feel happy, and even smile.
That smile triggered the Aura of Joy in Wang Baole's body, causing him to wake up in the next moment. A hidden glow flashed across his eyes.
"So, joy and listening are connected." Wang Baole looked closely at the orchestra on the screen, which was slowly growing blurry. As the performance continued, the bodies of all of the cultivators on the stage began to fade away. It was as if they had all transformed into musical notes that swirled around the violet-haired woman, accompanying her, making the melody even more full and appealing.
As for the woman, Wang Baole watched as her body began to fade away, becoming a nearly complete piece of music that drifted through Hark's Desire City.
Everyone who heard it was completely enraptured. There were even some who sat down cross-legged as soon as the performance began, as if to gain enlightenment.
"Is this also the way to cultivate the Law of Listening to Desire?" Out of curiosity, Wang Baole looked around and soon locked onto a young man who had a silly smile on his face. He slowly walked over, and when no one in the crowd noticed, he lightly patted the young man's shoulder. The aura of joy flowed into the young man's body through his palm.
Although this kind of usage of the aura of happiness could not achieve the effect of fighting against enemies, it still had a certain effect in increasing good feelings and trust. And now, this young man's mind was obviously filled with the music, as if he was unguarded, allowing Wang Baole's aura of happiness to smoothly enter his mind, forming a hint.
Under the influence of this hint, when the young man was disturbed by Wang Baole's pat, he woke up from his immersion in the music. When he turned to look at Wang Baole, he, who should have been somewhat displeased, suddenly felt that this person in front of him seemed to be very amiable. Thus, he suppressed the displeasure in his heart and patiently asked a question.
"Fellow Daoist, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Fellow Daoist, I am Xuan Mingzi. This is my first time in Listening to Desire City. I noticed that everyone was listening to the music and seemed to be enlightened. After listening to this performance, I also felt joy in my heart. I danced with joy and couldn't help but touch you. I hope you don't mind." Wang Baole's face revealed a gentle smile. Under the influence of the aura of happiness, his body also exuded a feeling of joy.
The young man was first hinted and then influenced, so he did not care about Wang Baole's disturbance. Instead, he listened to the performance with Wang Baole and chatted with him.
In this way, the performance ended half an hour later. Both of them looked satisfied. As the crowd dispersed, Wang Baole took the initiative to invite him, and the young man gladly agreed. Thus, the two of them soon sat in a restaurant, regretting that they had not met earlier.
While chatting, Wang Baole learned about the other party's identity. This person was an official resident of Listening to Desire City. However, due to his aptitude, he hadn't been able to enter a sect and could only work as a waiter in a brothel.
However, he had to deal with a lot of people every day, so he knew a lot of information about Listening to Desire City. For example, Wang Baole learned that there were three great sects in Listening to Desire City.
The Harmony Sect was only one of them. The other two sects were the Hengqin Sect and the Music Path.
These three great sects were the biggest forces in Listening to Desire City, and above them was Listening to Desire City.
Apart from that, Wang Baole also found out some basic theories regarding the cultivation of the Dharmic Laws of Hearing through indirect questioning.
The majority of the cultivation of the law of listening to desire was based on comprehension. For example, the performance had been a test to enter the Harmony Sect. Anyone who could condense their own musical notes from the performance would have the qualifications to enter the Harmony Sect.
"Unfortunately, this kind of comprehension depends on luck and aptitude. I have listened to the performances of the three great sects many times, but I have yet to succeed." The young man was very regretful. Thanks to Wang Baole's consolation, he drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
"Daoist Xuan Ming, this is your first time in Listening to Desire City. If you have the aptitude to enter the three great sects, you will definitely soar. Therefore, I suggest that you first gain a firm foothold here and listen to the performances of the three great sects."
"Comprehension is very important when cultivating the law of listening to desire." The young man had a good impression of Wang Baole, so his words were sincere. Wang Baole nodded and asked a few more questions. Gradually, he gained a general understanding of the basics of cultivating the law of listening to desire.
For example, the cultivation of the law of listening to desire was to create a complete song, but it wasn't limited to just one song. According to the young man's explanation, the powerhouses of the three great sects could create two or more songs.
But no matter what, the main musical notes were very important. Only when one had the main musical notes could they be considered to have met the prerequisites to perfect their own music. After that, they would have to continuously add musical notes and replace them until they created the most suitable music for themselves.
The three great sects were different when it came to the final perfection. For example, the Hengqin Sect focused on adding lyrics to form a song, but the Hengqin Sect was different. It focused on using music to express emotions without the help of lyrics.
As for the Music Path, it focused on nature and paid particular attention to the sound of all things. It wasn't limited to just music, but anything could be used. Its goal was to create the sounds of nature.
But no matter what, the final goal of the three great sects was to allow the cultivator to transform into music and fuse with the world.
"According to legend, there is another realm that allows a never-before-seen sound to appear in the world … This realm is said to be the realm closest to the Lord of Desire."
