String Pavilion, back mountain, on the stone platform of the sea of clouds.
Ye Futian sat cross-legged and was playing the guqin. The sound of the guqin lingered, and every beat of the note was like the cry of a phoenix. There was a brilliant divine light shining, accompanied by each beat of the note. If someone was here, they would have an illusion that this was the cry of a phoenix.
The sound of the guqin was the cry of a phoenix. The notes surrounded Ye Futian's body, and in the void, there really were illusory figures of phoenixes appearing, flying between heaven and earth.
In the sea of clouds, an extremely brilliant divine light lit up, like a picture of a phoenix dancing in the sky. It was beautiful and could be called a wonder.
In the distance, the sea of clouds churned. The light of golden flames flowed above the sea of clouds. There was a long cry that matched the sound of the guqin. A real divine phoenix rushed out of the sea of clouds. It soared into the sky and spread its wings, flying directly towards Ye Futian.
Ye Futian seemed to feel nothing. He was still playing calmly. The sound of the guqin was still there, and the cry of the phoenix was still there. Countless notes flowed into the mind of the phoenix and resonated with it. At this moment, Ye Futian seemed to be able to perceive the emotions of the phoenix and even use its spiritual energy.
There was a smile at the corner of his mouth, but his slender fingers were still playing. The little phoenix flew around his body, and the shadows of the phoenix danced between heaven and earth, interweaving into a beautiful picture, like a real fairyland.
The little phoenix was extremely happy. Her voice was loud and ethereal, and it matched the sound of the guqin. After a long time, when the sound of the guqin slowly stopped, her figure stopped dancing, and she floated to Ye Futian's side, turning into a human.
"Flight of the Phoenix Pair." The little phoenix stared at Ye Futian, a little surprised. Then she smiled sweetly and said, "You learn very quickly."
In just over a month, Ye Futian had learned the Flight of the Phoenix Pair and caused a vision of heaven and earth, causing the phoenix to dance. It was a natural wonder.
"Of course, I am a genius." Ye Futian laughed and said, "Little phoenix, when I played the guqin before, I felt that I could resonate with your spiritual energy. Could it be that the Flight of the Phoenix Pair can also help you cultivate?"
"Mutual promotion. If your realm is higher and your spiritual perception is stronger than mine, then it will be of greater help to me. Conversely, if my realm is higher than yours, then it will be of greater help to you." Little Phoenix said with a smile.
The Flight of the Phoenix Pair was a famous song created based on the phoenix. It was an extremely beautiful song, but if it was used in battle, its power would also be very strong.
"Doesn't that mean you're taking advantage of me?" Ye Futian asked again.
The little phoenix blushed and glared at Ye Futian. She said, "My plane is lower than yours for now. I was born with a Divine Child, and I improve very quickly. Lord Taixuan said that my future is limitless, that I am a Divine Phoenix, and that I will ride the winds of the Nine Heavens. Moreover, when did I say that I wanted to cultivate with you?"
"Fine, I took advantage of you." Ye Futian chuckled. After spending so much time together, he had become familiar with little phoenix. He knew that she was still like a young girl, which made him miss Ling 'er.
"That's more like it." There was a faint blush on little phoenix's face as she said in a low voice. But that girlish face, coupled with her beautiful figure, inexplicably had a different kind of charm.
Fortunately, Ye Futian had long been used to it and did not have any other thoughts. After all, he was not that kind of person.
"Would you like to play another song?" Ye Futian asked with a smile.
"Sure, sure." Little phoenix seemed a little excited, as if it was a natural fit for the song Flight of the Phoenix Pair.
"Feng Yan." A voice came from the void, and a brilliant Divine Phoenix appeared in the void. It was Feng Yan's mother. She looked at Feng Yan and said, "Let's go."
"Oh." Feng Yan was suddenly discouraged. She blinked at Ye Futian and then headed toward the sea of clouds.
"Senior." Ye Futian bowed to the shadow of the Divine Phoenix in the void, and the Divine Phoenix looked at him deeply.
Flight of the Phoenix Pair. He was able to play the Flight of the Phoenix Pair so quickly.
She felt a little dazed. Back then, the String Emperor had also played the Flight of the Phoenix Pair here. She and her husband were the String Emperor's partners and danced with the sound of the guqin. But later, the String Emperor left the mountain and set up his own sect, leaving them here.
The shadow of the Divine Phoenix gradually dissipated, and little phoenix also escaped into the sea of clouds and headed into the distance.
Ye Futian looked at the disappearing figure and cursed in his heart.
This was …
Guarding against thieves?
Unfortunately, he could not win.
"Is Brother Shen here?" At this moment, there was a voice outside the String Pavilion that penetrated the void and came in here, falling into Ye Futian's ears.
Ye Futian was a little puzzled. For a month, he had been cultivating alone in the String Pavilion, accompanied by the guqin. Only little phoenix would occasionally appear, and this was the first time someone had come.
Ye Futian stepped out and walked in the direction of the String Pavilion. When he came to the front yard, he saw a group of young figures there, looking at him.
These people had unusual temperaments. He knew very well that those who could enter Taixuan Mountain to cultivate would not be simple.
"Shen Jing greets you." Ye Futian bowed with his hands folded, gentle and polite.
"I have long heard of Brother Shen's name." The young man in the middle of the front also bowed to Ye Futian and said, "I am Chen Yu of Guqin Valley of Taixuan Mountain. I heard that Miss Four and Mr. Lan sent Brother Shen to the String Pavilion to cultivate, and I have always been curious. Today, I have time, so I specially came to visit. Now that I have met you, Brother Shen, you are indeed elegant."
Although the four great disciples of Lord Taixuan had all left the mountain to establish their own sects, there were still many places of cultivation on Taixuan Mountain, such as Sword Abyss, Guqin Valley, Alchemy Tower, and other places, all of which were managed by some elders of Taixuan Mountain. They had all followed Lord Taixuan for a long time, but they had no chance of becoming his direct disciples.
Many years ago, the five great disciples of Lord Taixuan also came from there. Later, one of them died, and Lord Taixuan said that he would not accept any more disciples in this life. Therefore, even if some people were talented and could receive personal guidance from Lord Taixuan, he would still not accept them as direct disciples.
After the four great disciples of Lord Taixuan left the mountain, the Taixuan Hierophant would often send some extremely talented people to persuade Lord Taixuan to accept more disciples, but Lord Taixuan still did not accept any.
Therefore, the people of the Higher Heavens Realm gradually understood that Lord Taixuan would not have any more disciples.
Guqin Valley was naturally a place to cultivate the art of guqin. Lord Taixuan's knowledge was profound and extensive. He was good at many abilities, and the disciples he cultivated were also masters of their generation. Not only that, but Lord Taixuan's collection was also extremely rich.
When Ye Futian heard that the other party came from Guqin Valley, he faintly understood something. He was not a disciple of Taixuan Mountain. After being sent to Taixuan Mountain, he was directly sent to guard the String Pavilion. This kind of treatment was not available to just anyone. Not even the disciples of Guqin Valley had such treatment.
Ye Futian thought to himself that this was probably because of his connections.
After all, he was sent up the mountain by Miss Four. Lord Taixuan only had four disciples in total, and Miss Four was the only female disciple. One could imagine her status.
"Brother Chen, you flatter me. I am just a guqin player. It is only because of the care of Miss Four and Senior Lan that I have the opportunity to guard the String Pavilion here. How can I deserve you all to come in person? If you have any advice, just say it, and Shen Jing will come in person."
Ye Futian saw that Chen Yu was polite and did not guess the reason. He was more humble and low-key than him, so there was no problem.
He came to Taixuan Mountain not to be in the limelight or to cause trouble. He just wanted to cultivate quietly for a while and improve himself.
When everyone heard Ye Futian's words, they gave him a deep look. This man was humble, and his voice was quite sincere.
"Brother Shen is too modest. Since Miss Four thinks highly of him and personally sent him to the String Pavilion, his attainments in the way of the guqin must be extremely outstanding," said another person next to him.
"Not at all." Ye Futian shook his head. "I am just a guqin player in Taixuan Tavern. I don't know why Miss Four thinks so highly of me. However, it is an honor for Shen Jing to have this opportunity to guard the String Pavilion. I will certainly guard it diligently and maintain the guqin here."
When everyone heard Ye Futian's words, there was a strange look in their eyes. This person was so humble and polite that they could not find fault with him for a while.
As the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling person. This Shen Jing's attitude was really impeccable.
"There are many guqin scores in the String Pavilion. You should have read them, right?" At this time, the figure of a woman appeared next to Chen Yu. She wore a long dress and floated like a fairy. Her temperament was outstanding. She was also a disciple of Guqin Valley, and her name was Li Zhiyin.
There were not many disciples in Guqin Valley now. Chen Yu and Li Zhiyin were the best of the best.
"I have read some of them. They are broad and profound, but there are many guqin scores in Guqin Valley. I am afraid it will be difficult to learn them all in my lifetime," said Ye Futian.
"Indeed." Li Zhiyin nodded slightly. "I was once lucky enough to be chosen to come to Guqin Valley to watch the guqin, and I saw the six famous pieces. But after many days of cultivation, I still only scratched the surface. It is difficult for the guqin music to attract the visions of heaven and earth. It is a bit of a pity."
"Zhiyin, you are too modest. Back then, you had already mastered the Flight of the Phoenix Pair," said Chen Yu.
"Shen Jing, you are now the guardian of the String Pavilion. Can I enter the String Pavilion to have a look?" Li Zhiyin asked Ye Futian.
"Please." Ye Futian smiled and nodded. Mr. Lan had asked him to guard the pavilion, but he did not say that he would not allow others to enter. If he said no, he was afraid that it would lead to criticism. Although he had been introduced to Taixuan Mountain by the House Master of Taixuan Mountain, he still did not want to attract attention, and he did not want to arouse the hatred of others.
Everyone entered the String Pavilion together. Li Zhiyin went straight to the back mountain in the direction of the sea of clouds. There was a look of yearning in her eyes. She had once mentioned to the elders of Guqin Valley that she wanted to come to the String Pavilion to cultivate, but she had been refused. After all, this was the former residence of the String Emperor. The String Emperor's position in Taixuan Mountain was extraordinary, and he naturally would not allow other disciples to come here to cultivate.
But she did not expect that Miss Four would send Shen Jing to the String Pavilion as a guqin master. Although he was nominally the guardian of the pavilion, there were still many conveniences.
Li Zhiyin sat down on the stone platform in the sea of clouds. Her slender fingers stroked the guqin of the phoenix, and then she played slowly. Suddenly, everyone's eyes were on her. They heard the elegant and clear sound of the phoenix, which was particularly moving. Under that artistic conception, Li Zhiyin looked even more dignified and beautiful.
The sea of clouds rolled, and a phantom of the phoenix condensed. Faint divine light flowed around her body.
"A vision." When everyone saw this scene, they were slightly shocked. The six famous songs left by the String Emperor could all trigger visions. Li Zhiyin's playing of the Flight of the Phoenix Pair had indeed reached a certain level of proficiency.
Ye Futian watched quietly from the side. The vision that Li Zhiyin triggered was obviously a little different from his. It was about 70 to 80 percent proficiency and not pure enough.
At the end of the song, Li Zhiyin was still sitting there with some regret. She sighed in a low voice and said, "It still lacks proficiency."
"You have done very well. The six famous songs are not so easy to master," Chen Yu said. Li Zhiyin nodded gently. She stood up and looked at Ye Futian. The expression in her beautiful eyes was a little complicated. A guqin master had the opportunity to be here. If it were her, she would also be willing to guard the String Pavilion here in the name of a guqin master.
"Since Miss Four sent you here, she must have placed her hopes on you. Cultivate the songs here well. The six famous songs are all broad and profound. Even if you cannot learn them, they will still be of great benefit to your cultivation," Li Zhiyin said to Ye Futian. Li Zhiyin instructed Ye Futian. She was the genius of the Guqin Valley and was in the Nirvana Plane. Naturally, she had the right to instruct Ye Futian.
"Well, I will do my best." Ye Futian did not say much. He just smiled and nodded.
"Let's go," Li Zhiyin said and walked out. Chen Yu also looked at Ye Futian and said, "Since you have such an opportunity, you should cherish it." Ye Futian nodded.
"Thank you." Ye Futian still smiled and saw the group out of the String Pavilion!
