The instant the voice echoed, Wang Baole suddenly turned his head and coldly looked behind him. He saw an illusory figure slowly condense at the entrance of the immortal cave.
The silhouette belonged to a woman. She was dressed in luxurious clothes and was expressionless. The glow in her eyes didn't give off much of a sense of liveliness. With Wang Baole's skill in artifact refinement, he was able to determine the other party's identity at first glance.
Treasure spirit!
This woman was indeed not a real person. She was the treasure spirit of He Xuan Sect's grand formation. At that moment, the treasure spirit waved her hand, and a storage pouch flew out and landed in front of Wang Baole.
"This is an item that should belong to a disciple of He Xuan Sect. Leave your mark on the identity token, and you will be able to enter and leave this place." After calmly speaking, the treasure spirit's body slowly turned blurry until it disappeared.
Wang Baole hadn't said a single word from beginning to end. At this moment, he frowned slightly. He felt that the He Xuan Sect was very strange. His arrival hadn't been checked in the slightest.
In Wang Baole's understanding of other sects, this didn't make sense.
After muttering to himself for a moment, Wang Baole picked up the storage pouch and carefully examined it. After confirming that it was very ordinary, he opened it and found three items inside.
There was a set of black and white robes, a jade slip, and a crystal token.
After sweeping his gaze over the three items, Wang Baole picked up the jade slip and turned it over. He narrowed his eyes and poured his divine sense into it. The next instant, a large amount of information flowed into Wang Baole's mind.
Time slowly passed. Because there was so much information, even Wang Baole needed half the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to completely comprehend everything. When he withdrew his divine sense and put down the jade slip, a mysterious light appeared in Wang Baole's eyes.
"So that's how it is."
The information in the jade slip resolved Wang Baole's doubts. This volcano was indeed the location of the He Xuan Sect. There weren't many disciples of the He Xuan Sect, less than ten thousand. Moreover, these people rarely communicated with each other. If they didn't go out to search for inspiration in music, they would stay in seclusion to create their own music.
That was why the entire mountain gate looked so empty. After all … it was night. Although the light from the volcano blocked out the dangers of the outside world, as long as one left the range of the fire, not everyone could be like Wang Baole, who was qualified to devour those strange creatures.
At the same time, although there were mortals like the Yin Servants, their strength meant that they could only survive in the Immortal's Cave. Once they left, even if the volcano's light blocked out the dangers outside, the more dangerous ones would often come from within the sect.
The cultivators here all possessed a certain level of strength, and when they created their own music, most of them possessed destructive power.
Because of that, the Immortal's Cave was the safest place for the Yin Servants.
Furthermore, there weren't many rules in the Harmony Sect. Overall, it was very loose. Wang Baole's doubts about entering the sect had been answered. There was no need for an examination or test in the Harmony Sect.
This was because … condensing the musical notes that belonged to the Harmony Sect was already part of the examination. Being able to walk through the night without dying on the way to the Harmony Sect was also part of the examination.
With all of that, anyone who reached the Harmony Sect's mountain gate was considered a disciple of the Harmony Sect.
"What a strange sect …" Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. Aside from answering Wang Baole's doubts, the jade slip also contained a cultivation method unique to the Harmony Sect.
It was different from the cultivation methods of the other sects, which were given layer by layer. The cultivation method of the Harmony Sect was actually the same.
This cultivation method was called Sound Nurturing.
As the name implied, it was to nurture musical notes so that they would always be in a state of fullness, allowing them to produce the greatest amount of sound. As for the other cultivation methods, there was no such thing.
Everything had to be comprehended by the cultivator from all things in the world to form their own music. Although the cultivator had a direction in which to comprehend the music, everything depended on luck. Therefore, comprehension ability was extremely important.
"Using the Federation's words to describe this place … is it filled with a group of composers who can perform their own music?" When this name appeared in Wang Baole's mind, he felt that it was a perfect match for the cultivators of the Harmony Sect.
However, unlike the composers of the Federation, the composers of the Harmony Sect had grasped all of the musical notes. What they needed was inspiration, and their musical notes were produced through instruments.
As for the cultivators of the Harmony Sect, they needed to try their luck and obtain the sound of all things in the world. The sound of all things in the world didn't only consist of ordinary musical notes, but also of thunder, rain, and so on. The cultivators of the Harmony Sect had to comprehend these sounds and turn them into their own laws.
The former used the musical notes they had grasped to create their own laws, while the latter used the few sounds of all things in the world they had comprehended to match them.
The former used other methods to perform the music, while the latter used one's own body to create a profound melody.
At the same time, in this world, music scores were extremely precious. It could even be said that music scores were the dao of the cultivators of Listening to Desire City.
However, the music scores here weren't just ordinary melodies created by the composers of the Federation. The sound of all things in the world determined the content of the music scores, and they were ever-changing.
The unique characteristic of the Harmony Sect was that they possessed the power of lyrics.
This point was somewhat different from the other two great sects.
Through the jade slip, Wang Baole gained a simple understanding of the essence of the Hengqin Sect. The cultivators of this sect mainly focused on killing, and their music was sharp and long. They were famous for their ancient songs, which had almost no lyrics.
As for the path of music … it was the most mysterious of the three great sects. There were very few cultivators in this sect, and they were considered the core of the sect. As for the details, the jade slip didn't say much.
After organizing everything in his mind, Wang Baole muttered to himself for a moment, then picked up the crystal command medallion. Without hesitation, he branded it with his divine sense.
With the imprint of his Divine Will, the crystal flashed a few times before slowly returning to normal. However, Wang Baole, who was holding the identity token, could clearly feel that with this item in hand, he could leave the sect with a single thought. He could also use the identity token to return to the sect with a single thought.
"A fixed teleportation medallion, huh?" Wang Baole fiddled with the medallion for a moment, then put it away. Finally, he put on the black-and-white robe of the Harmony Sect and walked out of the Immortal's cave.
He wanted to observe the Harmony Sect for a while. Almost as soon as he walked out, he heard sorrowful cries. The cries pierced directly into his soul, causing Wang Baole to stop in his tracks. He looked up and saw a figure not too far off in the distance, covered in blood and bound by chains. The figure was slowly walking toward the summit of the mountain.
Wherever the figure passed, sorrowful cries filled the air. Many of the Immortal's caves on the volcano began to tremble.
