Qin Di's heart was spotless. Time seemed to have passed in an instant, but it also felt like thousands of years.
In the darkness, a bit of spiritual light gradually left his body and floated up to the sky.
That bit of spiritual light seemed to still be in this world, but it also seemed to have crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, transcending thousands of time and space.
Gradually, he felt that he had arrived at the peak of a mountain. He saw an old man with silver hair and a white beard, dressed in a wide robe with big sleeves, a high crown and a wide belt. He had an extraordinary appearance and a sage-like demeanor. He sat on the peak of the mountain and played the zither with his eyes closed. In front of the old man was a vast and boundless sea with rolling waves and clouds.
Qin Di came closer and seemed to hear the old man's voice in his ears, "Kid, listen carefully. If you can comprehend this song, you can become my nominal disciple!"
In a split second, Qin Di's heart shook violently. He was surprised and happy, and that bit of spiritual light was almost shattered!
He quickly calmed his mind and focused on the old man's hands.
In front of the old man was a celestial zither that was flashing with multicolored light. He didn't know what level it was, but it was much higher than the second rank Phoenix celestial zither in Qin Di's hands.
The old man had white hair and a youthful face. He closed his eyes and placed his hands on the strings of the zither, playing the melody.
Not long after, the rolling waves calmed down and a mountain rose from the vast sea. The mountain gradually rose and the seawater flowed into the distance. Gradually, the seabed gradually rose and the sea shrank, slowly turning into a lake. The fish in the sea came ashore and jumped around on the shore. Some quietly died, some evolved into four-legged reptiles. Then, weeds and trees grew on the land. Then, primitive humans began to reproduce. They ate raw meat and drank blood, opened up wastelands, and planted mulberry and flax …
Qin Di watched quietly. He saw that the old man had only played a song, and the vast sea turned into fertile farmland. It seemed like thousands of years had passed, but when he thought about it, it seemed like it was only the time to drink a cup of tea. This was really an earth-shaking change!
Qin Di's eyes were dazzled and she almost lost control of her mind.
He never thought that a celestial song could have such great power!
His heart trembled, This is Daluo Jin Xian! The founder of the Celestial Music Sect, Shi Kuang! Only an old man like him could perform such a world-shaking legend! "
After the old man finished playing the song, he patted the stone beside him and said, "Alright, young man, take out your zither and play this song once. As long as you can play one percent of the melody, you can become my disciple!"
With trembling hands, Qin Di took out the Phoenix Guqin and sat down on a rock. After a moment of silence, he exerted strength in his hands and began to play.
Although the old man's eyes were closed, he seemed to be able to see everything. Not only could he clearly see the Phoenix Zither, but he could also see the strings jumping, he could see Qin Di's hands, and he could also see Qin Di's heart.
Although Qin Di's divine sense was strong, it was still far from being comparable to a Heavenly Immortal. Fortunately, his memory had been strengthened by the little peach tree, so he could somewhat remember the fingering and intonation used by Shi Kuang. Therefore, when he played the song, he seemed to be able to play two or three percent of it.
The old man stroked his silver beard and nodded slightly as he listened. "Hmm, not bad. You have just advanced to Dao Integration, and your skill is so shallow, but you can imitate a small part of this' Changing Seas into Mulberry Fields'. This is commendable!"
When Qin Di finished playing, the old man casually gave him a few pointers and asked him to play it again!
Qin Di played it five times before the old man was more or less satisfied.
"Child, kowtow! From today onwards, I, Shi Kuang, will accept you as my personal disciple. You will be my thirty-ninth disciple! "
Qin Di was even more delighted. At the same time, he was also surprised. He did not expect Shi Kuang to accept so many disciples. He quickly kowtowed and saluted. "Disciple Qin Di greets Master!"
Shi Kuang waited for him to kowtow nine times before letting him get up. "I will not teach you anything else. I will only teach you this' Changing Seas into Mulberry Fields'. This song is extraordinary. It is one of the three great celestial songs that I comprehended after advancing to Jin Xian! Not only can it move mountains and fill seas, but it can also cause the surrounding environment to undergo drastic changes. It can also reduce the enemy's lifespan as it pleases. For example, I can reduce the enemy's lifespan by a hundred thousand years with just one performance. Your skill is still shallow, so you can only reduce the enemy's lifespan by a hundred years with just one performance. However, if you can practice this song to the extreme, its power can be increased by several times, or even dozens of times. In this way, you can move unhindered in the world and protect your life. "
The more Qin Di listened, the happier he was. "Thank you, Master, for giving me this celestial song. I will practice diligently and not let you down!"
Shi Kuang nodded slightly and said slowly, "It is already a miracle that you can imitate this Phoenix Guqin and make it a second-grade celestial artifact in the Primordial World! However, I have to say that the material of the strings is not good enough. "
Qin Di hurriedly said, "Master, you are right. I am in the Primordial World and can't find high-grade celestial materials for now. I can only make do for now."
Shi Kuang said slowly, "You should know that the real Phoenix Guqin is made from the tendons of a rank eight Sky Dragon. Only the Great God Fuxi can have it. Master's zither is made from the silk of a rank six Celestial Silkworm. In the end, it was barely made into a rank seven celestial zither. Qin Di, I didn't prepare any other gifts for you today. I will give you a roll of rank six Celestial Silkworm silk. It will be enough for you to use for tens of thousands of years. It can also increase your Phoenix Guqin by two levels. What do you think? "
Qin Di was excited. "Wow, that's great. Thank you, Master, for giving me such a precious gift!"
Shi Kuang smiled and said, "The Celestial Silkworm that I am cultivating is about to advance! In another ten thousand years, it will evolve into a rank seven Celestial Silkworm. At that time, the killing power of this Blue Seas Mulberry Fields will increase by another ten times!
"Wishing Master to nurture a rank nine Celestial Silkworm soon!"
Shi Kuang reached his hand out and took out a ball of glittering silkworm silk and handed it over.
When Qin Di received it in his hand, he felt that it was incomparably soft and very comfortable to the touch. With a light pull, it felt especially tough. Using it as a zither string, it would definitely be able to play an even more beautiful music.
Shi Kuang waved his hand and said, "Alright, it's getting late. You can go back! Master is separated by 80 million immortal years. The distance is too far. It's not easy to communicate. Every moment has to expend a considerable amount of power. "
Qin Di got a shock and hurriedly bade farewell to Master. "Disciple is going. Master, take care!"
Shi Kuang flicked his sleeves and flung him down from the mountain summit.
In a blink of an eye, Qin Di's divine sense returned to his body. Opening his eyes to take a look, there was still a statue in front of him. What happened just now was as if it was just a dream.
He walked out of the Heaven Inheritance Grotto-Heaven and saw that Shi Huo was still guarding outside. Hence, he asked, "How long did I stay inside?"
Shi Huo replied with a smile, "Uncle-Master, you comprehended Dao in the grotto-heaven for three years. You must have gained a lot! Am I right? "
Qin Di blinked his eyes and said with a surprised expression, "Three years? How can that be? " His mind was in a mess. He didn't know how these three years passed. He couldn't tell if it was the meditation at the beginning that wasted time, or the divine sense traversing at the end that wasted time, or Shi Kuang's performance that crossed three years. Anyway, he was confused.
"Uncle-Master, which ancestor's legacy did you comprehend? Is it an extremely powerful immortal song? "
Qin Di smiled. "I learned a song from Ancestor Shi Kuang. Unfortunately, I'm not very proficient and can't control my strength. I can't play it for you."
Shi Huo was very shocked. He looked at him with his mouth wide open. After listening for a while, he said, "Ah? Ancestor Shi Kuang? God! This is simply a miracle. Uncle-Master, you're too amazing! It's said that in history, only one person can communicate with Ancestor Shi Kuang every thirty thousand years. I didn't expect Uncle-Master to succeed! "
Qin Di thought, "I'm only the 39th disciple of Shi Kuang. I wonder when the disciples before me joined the sect? Every thirty thousand years, there would be one person who could communicate with Shi Kuang. Most of these people might be nominal disciples, or not even nominal disciples. They only learned a short piece of music and were sent back. Otherwise, there would be more than thirty-nine! "
The two of them chatted for a while. Amidst the compliments and exclamations of surprise, Qin Di left the place and went back to visit his master Shi Yang.
"Master, I've learned an extremely powerful immortal song, but I can't play it for you for the time being."
He recounted the process of him entering the grotto-heaven to receive the inheritance.
Shi Yang was very happy for him. He smiled and praised, "Since it's a song passed down by the ancestor, you should keep it for yourself. Don't easily teach it to others. To the north of Jade Zither Island, eight thousand miles away from Butterfly Island, there's an uninhabited deserted island. Go there and practice the immortal song. It doesn't matter even if you destroy the entire deserted island. "
Qin Di hurriedly said, "Thank you, Master. I'll be going then!"
He left Jade Zither Island and came to the deserted island that Shi Yang mentioned. He played 'Changing Seas into Mulberry Fields' day and night.
In order not to bring immeasurable changes to the surrounding environment, he didn't use the Phoenix Zither. Instead, he used a third-grade spirit zither. He didn't even take out the treasure zither. He first used a low-grade spirit zither to familiarize himself with the immortal song.
But even so, under the destruction of the immortal song, the surrounding trees rapidly withered and the grass also turned yellow. Then, new plants grew rapidly and withered rapidly. There were dead fish constantly floating to the surface of the water around them. Even the birds in the sky would fall when they heard the zither music. So this deserted island had practically become a forbidden area!
Gradually, Qin Di familiarized himself with the changes of the immortal song. He was already able to control the range of the damage caused by the zither music. The entire deserted island was within the range of his control. If he wanted the ground to bulge, the soil would protrude. If he wanted the ground to sink, a small lake would appear there. If he wanted the trees to wither, the leaves there would swiftly turn yellow. If he wanted the birds and beasts to suffer, those birds and beasts would have their lifespans taken away.
In the beginning, he could only take away the lifespans of birds and beasts that were less than 100 years. Later on, he switched to the Phoenix Zither. As he became more and more familiar with this song, its might gradually increased. In the end, he could even take away 300 years of lifespans in one go!
Such a great might shocked even Qin Di himself. He didn't have to take out the God Suppression Pagoda when he encountered Earthly Immortal Realm experts in the future. But he only had to play 'Changing Seas into Mulberry Fields' twice to scare them half to death! Even if Earthly Immortal Realm experts had a very long lifespan, they couldn't withstand 300 years of continuous decline!
