Take a gamble?
Everyone's heart sank slightly. Needless to say, this so-called Emperor Lord would definitely not let them off so easily.
Daoist Jun Jun asked cautiously, "How do you want to bet?"
"As cultivators, we should prioritize the discussion of Dao. I want to compete with your Dao hearts!"
The Emperor looked at the crowd with a smile. His eyes were deep as he continued, "You don't have to worry. Since this is a Dao discussion, I won't use my power to oppress you, and I won't use my cultivation to bully you. I just don't know if you have confidence in your Dao? Do you dare to accept this bet? "
The so-called discussion of Dao was to find the weakness of the opponent's Dao heart first, or to create a weakness in the opponent's Dao heart, causing the opponent to lose his mind and defeat him!
At the side, Taishang Laojun suddenly spoke and reminded loudly, "He's the Zither Master. He's the best at discussing Dao. Don't bet with him!"
Whoosh!
The man beside the Emperor raised his hand again. The shadow of the whip was like the wind. It was impossible to see it, but it had already lashed Taishang Laojun's body, causing him to fall heavily to the ground. The ferocious shadow of the whip had left a mark on the upper half of his body. His skin and flesh were lacerated, and it was difficult to heal.
Then, the long whip wrapped around Taishang Laojun like a snake and lifted him up. He floated in the void and was tightly bound.
"Stop!"
The Jade Emperor and the other two shouted at the same time. They looked at Taishang Laojun with reddened eyes.
In the past, they controlled the Eldritch World together. They were all big shots. Occasionally, they would scheme against each other, but at the same time, they appreciated each other. After all, they came from the same source.
Now that they saw Taishang Laojun being bullied, they could not help but feel sad and angry.
When Qin Zhongshan and Bai Chen heard the name, their expressions changed. They exclaimed, "Zither Master?!"
Jade Emperor asked solemnly, "Who is he?"
"He's a super almighty who travels in the Chaos."
Qin Zhongshan felt a lot of pressure and said softly, "I heard that he entered the Dao through music. When he plays the zither, he can create the Heavens and Realms. He can capture people's Dao hearts and make them lose their minds! He especially likes to find experts in the Chaos and discuss Dao with them. The number of Heavenly Dao almighties who lost to him can be counted with two hands! "
He was a battle maniac, which was why he was rather famous in the Chaos.
Since he was still alive and well, it was sufficient to show his strength. He was probably an expert in the Heavenly Dao Realm!
Hearing this news, everyone's heart sank even more.
Daoist Junjun asked in a deep voice, "What are the stakes?"
The Imperial Lord said, "If I win, the Heavenly Palace will serve me from now on and become my slaves!"
Nuwa asked, "What if we win?"
"It's impossible for you to win." The Emperor Lord shook his head, feeling extremely arrogant.
Daoist Junjun said, "Without a stake, this bet is not valid!"
The Emperor looked at Old Lord Taishang. "If you win, I'll return this guy to you."
The Grand Supreme Elder's face was pale as his eyes were filled with anger. His lips moved as though he wanted to speak, but he was restrained by the whip, making it difficult for him to even speak.
Exchanging him for the entire Heavenly Palace was simply a gamble with a huge disparity. It was too unfair!
Heng 'e immediately said, "That's unfair!"
"Fair?"
The Emperor Lord laughed, full of mockery. "Are you awake? You're talking about fairness with me? "
"This world belongs to the strong. I'm making a bet with you because I'm giving you a chance. It's fine if you're not grateful, but you're talking about fairness with me? What a joke, you don't have a choice! "
Everyone could not help but clench their fists tightly. Their faces were filled with anger, but they also felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
The Emperor Lord was right. They did not have a choice.
This was the sorrow of the weak.
Daoist Junjun and Nuwa looked at each other and said coldly, "We … will bet!"
"Don't, don't!"
The Grand Supreme Elder looked at them. His eyes were red as he looked at everyone. He wanted to cry.
He had always been by the Emperor Lord's side, so he knew how powerful the Emperor Lord was. Once the Emperor Lord played his guqin, it was enough to cause the heavens and earth to fluctuate and the rules to become chaotic. No one had ever been able to resist him.
The most terrifying time was when he witnessed the Emperor Lord play his guqin, causing all the living beings in a small world to lose their Dao Heart. Even the Heavenly Dao of the world was erased!
How could Daoist Junjun and the rest resist him?
In order to save him, he had to watch them fall into the abyss. This feeling drove him crazy. At the same time, he felt his family's concern and was extremely touched.
"As long as any of you can withstand one of my guqin, you win."
The Emperor Lord smiled and stroked the guqin in front of him. He looked at everyone calmly. "Who … will go first?"
"I'll go first!"
Nuwa took a deep breath and stepped forward with a serious expression. Then, she sat down cross-legged and prepared herself.
She raised her hand, and the Treasured Lotus Lantern slowly flew out, floating above her head. Streams of light poured out from the Treasured Lotus Lantern like water ripples, rushing toward Goddess Nvywa, calming her down.
Then, Nuwa closed her eyes. Daoist Rhymes overflowed from her body, causing the surrounding space to distort. A seven-colored halo surrounded Nuwa, covering her entire body and making her look hazy.
Deep in her heart, she still had some confidence in the sparring of Dao.
After all, in the process of interacting with the expert, her understanding of Dao was much higher than that of ordinary cultivators. Moreover, whether it was listening to the expert play his guqin, playing chess with the expert, or even eating the expert's food, it could more or less increase everyone's understanding of Dao.
This was considered a considerable cheat, which was enough for them to look down on other cultivators.
"Interesting."
The Emperor Lord raised his eyebrows slightly. Then, without saying anything else, he raised his hand and plucked the strings of the guqin.
Clang!
When the sound of the guqin appeared, it turned into a gentle breeze and blew towards Nuwa. It touched the seven-colored light around Nuwa without a sound.
The surrounding people widened their eyes and watched nervously.
Although sparring of Dao was not as grand as a battle of magical powers, it was much more dangerous than a battle of magical powers.
Words could very well destroy one's Dao Heart and cause one to go berserk. Many people might start to doubt themselves and become crippled.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Emperor Lord's hands began to pluck the strings quickly. Waves of guqin music sounded rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the gentle breeze turned into a storm and swept toward Nuwa.
Finally … it turned into a tornado and wrapped around Nuwa. The crowd could even hear the angry howls of the wind coming from the tornado.
Through the powerful tornado, they could see that the seven-colored light in the center was still flashing.
"It's Ambush from Ten Sides!"
Although it was just the beginning, the crowd was naturally familiar with it. They immediately recognized the guqin music played by the Emperor Lord. Their faces turned red, and they became even more furious.
Hong 'er glared at the Emperor Lord and said unwillingly, "Damn it!"
This was a song given to them by the expert. It contained a very high artistic conception. For a guqin cultivator, it was a fortune that could only be found by chance.
Now, not only was this song stolen, but it was also used against them. This made them feel as if they had eaten a fly. It was extremely disgusting.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The guqin music was fierce, and it became more and more hurried. The murderous aura surged out like an avalanche. The powerful sound waves crushed the surrounding precepts. It was extremely domineering!
Clatter, clatter, clatter!
Even the crowd seemed to hear the sound of horse hooves and the battle cries of thousands of soldiers and horses. Their hearts could not help but beat faster, like the beating of a drum.
The tornadoes around Nuwa were getting stronger and stronger, and there seemed to be countless soldiers charging and killing inside them. Their aura could swallow mountains and rivers, and they rushed toward Nuwa with an indomitable momentum, shouting around Nuwa.
At this moment, Nuwa seemed to have been reduced to a weak woman. She stood alone on the battlefield in a daze. She was weak, pitiful, and helpless.
And what she faced was countless terrifying soldiers. They charged at her like a tide, wanting to swallow her whole!
She could not help but take a step back.
It was this step that caused her Dao to collapse. With a "pfft", she spat out blood. She looked dispirited and was severely injured.
The Emperor Lord said, "You're already very good to be able to hold on for so long."
It was an insignificant sentence, but it made the crowd feel contempt.
Bai Chen sighed. "It's too difficult to defeat the Guqin Master."
Qin Zhongshan nodded. "In the Chaos, the Guqin Master's whereabouts have always been uncertain. But once you're targeted by him, no matter who it is, you'll feel a headache."
The people of the Heavenly Palace did not know, but they had heard of the Guqin Master. Not to mention them, even their sect's patriarchs did not want to face the Guqin Master.
The Guqin Master said, "Who's next?"
"I'll do it."
Daoist Junjun stepped forward. His Daoist robe fluttered, and his expression was solemn. With a wave of his hand, a huge drum appeared in front of him.
He was going to use the drum to suppress the Guqin!
The Guqin Master did not say much. He raised his hand and plucked the strings.
Bang, bang, bang!
Daoist Junjun did not say anything. He raised his hand and beat the drum wildly.
His sound was without any rhythm.
Unlike Nuwa, Daoist Junjun was going to attack as a defense!
At this moment, he used the drum to convey his Dao. He fought against the Guqin Master, trying to disrupt the Guqin Master's rhythm.
Two different sounds intertwined in the void and collided with each other. It caused the void to ripple like a lake.
Daoist Junjun lowered his eyes. His expression did not change. In his mind, he recalled the endless Dao that he saw when Li Nianfan played the disc for him.
He was immersed in the Dao. Through the drum, he tried to influence the Guqin Master's Dao.
However, the Guqin Master's music did not change at all. It was steady and deep. It was like a towering mountain, but also like a flowing river. It maintained its own rhythm. It was extremely crisp. Gradually, it suppressed the drum and became the only sound in the place!
"It's our song, High Mountains and Flowing Water."
Heng 'e smiled bitterly. This person was so shameless!
How dare he use the two songs that the expert gave us to show off? What's with the pretense? Shameless!
Pfft!
Daoist Junjun's body trembled. He spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked dazed and was about to fall.
"Wonderful."
The Guqin Master was not stingy with his praise. He said in surprise, "I didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding of Dao. I'm impressed."
He thought of the two songs that he received. The songs were good, and so were the people. As expected of the Realm of the Gods. They had their merits.
He glanced at the crowd and calmly asked, "Who else?"
Everyone was silent.
His heart was bitter to the extreme.
Qin Zhongshan and Bai Chen wanted to step in. However, they saw the battle just now. They knew that they were no match for the Guqin Master.
Qin Zhongshan said seriously, "I can go back and ask our Grand Supreme Elder to step in!"
Bai Chen said, "I can ask our Grand Supreme Elder to step in too!"
Their Grand Supreme Elder was a powerhouse in the Realm of Heaven. They had a chance to win against the Guqin Master!
"If …"
The Jade Emperor opened his mouth but did not say anything.
However, everyone could guess what he meant.
If the expert was here, then this bullsh * t Zither Master's Dao Debate would be trash. He would be easily suppressed by the expert.
Although Daoist Junjun and Nuwa lost, they had interacted with the expert before. They had also experienced the expert's Dao. They could feel the difference.
If the expert's Dao was a vast ocean, then the Guqin Master's Dao was just a small ditch. It was the kind that was about to dry up.
However, how could they let the expert do it? They could only think about it.
They were incompetent and wanted to disturb the expert's cultivation. They should not have done that!
However, the Jade Emperor's words reminded Yao Mengji, who was in the Moon Palace. His expression changed slightly as an idea appeared in his mind.
Although this idea was somewhat absurd, he faintly felt that it was very feasible.
The Guqin Master stood up and said condescendingly, "Is there no one else? If that's the case, then you've lost! "
The Elderly Lord was still hanging in mid-air. His eyes were filled with sorrow. He was so uncomfortable that his body was trembling slightly.
He knew that there was no one else in the Heavenly Palace. Even the Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor lost. Who else could do it?
A sense of despair rose from his heart.
Qin Zhongshan looked at the Guqin Master and said, "I'm the Sect Leader of the Embittered Sect. Give me a few days. I can ask our Grand Supreme Elder to come!"
"Embittered Sect?"
The Guqin Master shook his head, "I'll go and meet the Embittered Sect! However, this is between me and the Heavenly Palace. There's no need to waste time with you! "
"There's still someone in the Heavenly Palace!"
At this moment, Yao Mengji's loud voice attracted everyone's attention.
The Guqin Master frowned, "Oh?"
Nuwa's heart skipped a beat, "Daoist Yao, are you talking about Fairy Manyun?"
"That's right," Yao Mengji nodded, "I think we can give it a try!"
The others also thought of Qin Manyun. There was a glimmer of hope in their hearts. After all, Qin Manyun had been practicing the Guqin Dao with the expert all this time. With the expert's guidance, her strength must have improved by leaps and bounds. Her understanding of the Guqin Dao must be very deep.
However, when they thought of Qin Manyun's strength, they felt that it was impossible.
Although the sparring did not equate to strength, there was still a certain correlation. If the difference in strength was too great, then the sparring would be meaningless.
However, at this moment, it seemed that there was no other choice. They could only try their best.
No matter what, she was the expert's … musical attendant!
Thinking of this, Daoist Junjun raised his head. His eyes were deep as he said, "That's right. We still have someone who can spar with you!"
