The Great Zhou Sacred King looked at Liu Zong and smiled. "Today, geniuses from all over the Nine States have gathered here. With such an atmosphere, are there any juniors who would like to perform?"
"Sacred King, although they are juniors, many of them are sages. It's not appropriate. Great Zhou Sacred King should enjoy the dance, chat, and drink. Wouldn't that be fun?" Saint Xihua said.
"Speaking of dance, the people from the Yue House of Qi State are here today. Those invited by the saint are probably showing off in front of experts." The Great Zhou Sacred King looked in the direction of the Qi State.
"That's true. Everyone in the Nine States knows that the music of the Yue House of Qi State is the best in the Nine States," Saint Xihua said.
"You flatter me, Saint." The person from the Yue House of Qi State bowed slightly to Saint Xihua and said, "Since the saint and the Great Zhou Sacred King are in such a mood, Liuyun, you should entertain everyone."
As he said that, he looked at a young man dressed in a clean white robe beside him. The young man looked dignified and had a somewhat melancholic temperament, but he was elegant.
"Yue Liuyun." An elder from the Jixia Holy Palace of the Qi State said, "The one with outstanding talent in music among the younger generation of the Yue House, the personal disciple of the Music Saint. You are all in for a treat."
"Is that so?" The people from the other Nine States all looked somewhat interested as they looked at the young man. This person had not participated in the Nine State Forum, so he was probably a junior of the Sage Plane. He was elegant and elegant.
"You can all leave." Saint Xihua waved at the woman who was playing the guqin. Suddenly, all the dancers stood up and bowed, then left.
Yue Liuyun walked forward slowly and cupped his hands at everyone, saying, "I apologize for my poor performance."
"Please," Saint Xihua said with a smile, looking very kind.
Yue Liuyun sat in front of the guqin and placed his fingers on the strings. Suddenly, his entire temperament seemed to have changed.
As his fingertips danced, a clear and crisp sound came from the strings of the instrument, light and bright.
The sound of the zither played slowly. It had an extremely powerful influence, easily bringing people into the artistic conception of the zither. The sound of the zither was resounding like a song. It was as if all the heroes of the world had gathered in one place. All of them were outstanding figures who indulged in martial arts and competed on the battle platform. Sometimes there was the roar of a dragon in the sea, and sometimes there was the cry of a phoenix in the sky.
Many were even able to vaguely see illusory silhouettes, and the shadows of true dragons and phoenixes appeared. At that moment, everyone seemed to have been pulled back to the stage of the Nine State Forum, fighting on the forum stage to see which of the geniuses of the Nine States would emerge as the champion.
The piercing power of this sound was extremely strong. It was as if the sound had entered a realm. Apart from the sound of the zither, there was no other noise in the banquet. Many people looked towards Yue Liuyun.
The sonorous music gradually calmed down. The elders chatted merrily and toasted each other. It was as if the scene of a battle had turned into a banquet. The music was ethereal, like celestial music. Clouds and mist filled the air and spread toward the banquet. It was more like a celestial banquet in the Jade Pool.
Above the clouds and mist, there were numerous multicolored phoenixes flying by and dancing gracefully, and it was an auspicious and magnificent scene.
"Wonderful." Many looked up and could not help but exclaim. As expected of a brilliant student of the Yue House. What a stroke of genius.
The music gradually stopped, but everyone seemed to be still immersed in the atmosphere. Many great figures of the Nine States smiled, and Saint Xihua was not stingy with his compliments. He said, "The Yue House is the best in musical music in the Nine States. Be it the zither or the flute, they are all famous throughout the Nine States. Today, I see that they are indeed worthy of their reputation."
"You flatter me, senior." Yue Liuyun looked very composed. He got up and bowed slightly, then returned to the Yue House of Qi State.
"This song will probably make many women fall in love with you," the Great Zhou Sacred King said with a smile. When a musical sorcerer played the zither, there was a certain charm to it.
And Yue Liuyun, as one of the best among them, was even more extraordinary.
"Saint, do you know that among the younger generation of the Nine States, other than those of the Yue House, there is another extraordinary figure in the zither? His style is not inferior to that of the students of the Yue House." At that moment, a voice was heard. Many turned to look at the person who had spoken. It was Kong Yao of Zhisheng Cliffs of Yu State.
Many people looked surprised. All those from Zhisheng Cliffs of Yu State had been eliminated, which was a very shameful thing. They did not expect Kong Yao to speak at the banquet.
"Who is it?" Saint Xihua asked with a smile. Many people were interested. An extraordinary figure in the zither, not inferior to the students of the Yue House?
That was probably an exaggeration.
"Have you all heard of the Ukiyo Song?" Kong Yao asked.
"The Ukiyo Song created by Donghuang the Great?" Saint Xihua's expression was solemn. The higher one's plane was, the more respect they had for people like Donghuang the Great. The mention of the Great Emperor's name made them even more solemn.
"Yes." Kong Yao nodded. "Among us, there is one of the younger generation who can play the song left by the Great Emperor."
"Who?" Saint Xihua asked. Many people looked at Kong Yao. Even those from the Yue House were interested.
"Ye Futian, Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State," Kong Yao said.
As soon as he said that, everyone was stunned at first, and then looked at Ye Futian in the distance.
Ye Futian sat there quietly. He felt a chill in his heart when he heard Kong Yao's words. The Barren State and Zhisheng Cliffs had been enemies for a long time. If it were not for Emperor Xia's appearance, Zhisheng Cliffs would have killed him. Now that there was a new grudge on the stage of the Nine State Forum, Kong Yao would have probably wanted him dead.
At that moment, Kong Yao mentioned him with ill intentions. He wanted to praise him to death. Saint Xihua had just said that the Yue House of Qi State was the best in music, and Kong Yao told everyone that Ye Futian was skilled in the Ukiyo Song.
He had played the song during the great battle outside the Holy Zhi Palace. If Kong Yao had wanted to investigate, he would have found out more. The Ukiyo Song was no secret.
However, Kong Yao had brought it up at that moment with ulterior motives.
The people of the Nine States all looked curious. Ye Futian, the chosen leader of the holy land of the Barren State, had taken the position when he was still in the Noble Plane. The Glass Saint had said that he had broken the Celestial Dragon Chess Game of the Chess Saint not long ago, which meant that he had extraordinary skills in the art of chess. Now, Kong Yao said that he was skilled in the Ukiyo Song, the song of the emperor.
Was there nothing that the Palace Lord of the Barren State was not good at?
"Is there such a thing?" Saint Xihua asked with a smile.
"I came across the score of the Ukiyo Song by chance and have been practicing it ever since. However, I have only scratched the surface of it, and it is not good enough for me." Ye Futian said humbly, "The Ukiyo Song is a song for emperors. My plane is low, and it is difficult for me to comprehend its essentials."
"Ye Futian, your song was said to be unparalleled outside the Holy Zhi Palace. There is no need to be humble now." Kong Yao said plainly, "Since everyone is in the mood today, why not go up and play a song for emperors to liven things up?"
Many from the Barren State looked at Kong Yao angrily when they heard what he said.
Unlike Yue Liuyun, Ye Futian was the leader of the Barren State. Kong Yao wanted Ye Futian to liven things up with the guqin? To please the people of other holy lands?
If Ye Futian was just a junior of a holy land like Yue Liuyun, it would not have mattered. However, because of his status as the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace, Kong Yao wanted to humiliate Ye Futian.
Many people looked at Ye Futian, but they did not say anything. Ye Futian smiled and said, "I dare not show off in front of the elders of the Nine States, but since you said so, I will play a song. It would be better if there was someone to accompany me with martial arts. Would Senior Kong like to liven things up?"
"The Barren State is full of geniuses, and many from the Holy Zhi Palace have come. There is no need for me to do it." Kong Yao said plainly, "Palace Lord Ye, are you refusing me like this because you think that the people of the Nine States are not worthy of listening to your song?"
Kong Yao's words were aggressive, and he did not want Ye Futian to back down.
Looking at Kong Yao, Ye Futian saw that everyone was looking at him. He smiled and said, "Since everyone is in the mood, then I will show you my skills."
As he finished, he stood up and walked to the guqin.
Many people looked at him and saw Ye Futian sit down quietly. Just like Yue Liuyun, his temperament changed instantly. He was quiet and peaceful. He was no longer the handsome young Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace, but a pure musical sorcerer.
Ye Futian's face was handsome, and his temperament was extraordinary. His fingers were slender, and when he plucked the strings, the music penetrated people's hearts, causing them to enter the artistic conception of the music in an instant. Just from his moves alone, it was obvious that his attainments were not below Yue Liuyun's.
The music was melodious, crisp and sweet. It was very low, and the artistic conception in the music seemed to be slowly narrating. It was an ancient story, and the main characters of the story were the growth of two youths, witnessing the fickleness of human nature and the survival of the fittest. They stuck to their hearts and continued to grow. Ye Futian's current emotions were integrated into the music, and it gave people the feeling that it was a reflection of what had happened to him in the Nine State Forum, causing many to show strange expressions.
However, no one interrupted him. The artistic conception of the music was infectious, as if it had completely immersed people in the scene, witnessing the growth of a legendary figure.
At that moment, a figure walked out, and many looked in that direction. It was Huang Jiuge, a student of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State.
Huang Jiuge bowed in the direction of Saint Xihua and said, "The Palace Lord said that the effect of this music would be better if it was accompanied by martial arts. I am Huang Jiuge, a student of the Holy Zhi Palace, and I am willing to give it a try."
"Sure." Saint Xihua nodded. Huang Jiuge walked out and came behind Ye Futian. He turned to look in the direction of Zhisheng Cliffs and said, "Before I entered the Holy Zhi Palace, I heard that the Son of Zhisheng Cliffs, Qin Zhong, had entered the Holy Zhi Palace and swept away all the geniuses of the Holy Zhi Palace. Today, I would like to experience the talents of the holy land and liven things up with martial arts."
Kong Yao frowned. Is the Holy Zhi Palace retaliating?
At that moment, the music gradually became louder and more penetrating. If someone were to liven things up with martial arts, it would indeed add some color.
"The banquet of the Nine State Forum is not suitable for martial arts," Kong Yao said plainly.
"The Saint has given his word. Senior, do you think that the people of the Nine States are not worthy for the Son of Zhisheng Cliffs to liven things up with martial arts?" Huang Jiuge said, returning Kong Yao's words to him.
Kong Yao stared coldly at Huang Jiuge. A junior disciple dared to speak to him like that.
Qin Zhong looked at Huang Jiuge. He was one of the Nine Warriors of Zhisheng Cliffs. Now that a student of the Holy Zhi Palace had taken the initiative to challenge him, he naturally would not back down.
"Since you are in the mood, I am happy to keep you company." Qin Zhong walked out slowly and stopped not far from Ye Futian. He said, "Qin Zhong of Zhisheng Cliffs, pleased to meet you."
"Huang Jiuge of the Holy Zhi Palace, pleased to meet you."
The two of them greeted each other in a graceful manner. However, there was an invisible aura that clashed in the empty space in front of them!
