Li Shang looked at Ye Qinghan helplessly.
Ye Qinghan sneered. He looked at the youth as if he was looking at an idiot. He really couldn't understand why cultivators were sometimes even more stupid than mortals!
The youth was called Lie Kuang. He was used to being arrogant. Sometimes, even Lie Yan was convinced by him. To outsiders, she always claimed that she didn't recognize him as her brother.
The two half-step Emperors behind Lie Kuang whispered into his ear, "Young Master, it's best not to provoke this person. He doesn't give face to anyone. He even dares to provoke the Divine Void Clan and the Sky God. Should we retreat?"
"Hmph, he doesn't give face? I won't give face either! I can pinch two Emperor-ranked powerhouses to death. What are you afraid of? Capture them for me! "Lie Kuang said coldly.
Slap!
A loud slap resounded through the street, causing Lie Kuang to spin a few times. His face immediately swelled up and he saw stars. He didn't react for a long time.
Ye Qinghan's speed was extremely fast, as if he hadn't moved at all. The two half-step Emperors' faces were ashen, but they didn't dare to offend Ye Qinghan.
"You have three breaths of time to disappear from my sight," Ye Qinghan said coldly.
Whoosh —
The two half-step Emperors rushed into the distance, not daring to say a single word.
When dealing with such a despicable person, reasoning wouldn't work. Ye Qinghan deeply understood that he had to use his fists to beat them until they didn't dare to make a sound. Otherwise, it would be useless no matter what he said.
The two of them went deep into the city to inquire about the zither master, but they didn't make much progress.
They searched for two days in a row, running all over the main city. Unfortunately, the so-called opportunity was illusory and couldn't be found.
On the third day, the three of them had already entered the depths of the city. Emperor Ye's brows suddenly twitched, and he involuntarily walked toward a remote courtyard.
Hum hum hum …
A tune drifted through the air, but Ye Qinghan and the others could not hear it. Emperor Ye, on the other hand, could hear it.
The music showed the endless galaxy, the king was free and unfettered between heaven and earth, plucking the stars with a wave of his hand, chasing after the sun and moon. The man laughed proudly between heaven and earth, reversing Yin and Yang, breaking through the cycle of reincarnation. Sometimes it was brisk, sometimes it was tragic, sometimes it was carefree, and sometimes it was crazy. Everything depended on one's state of mind.
Emperor Ye's eyes were in a daze as his soul was taken away by the music.
Ye Qinghan and the others silently followed behind. They didn't stop him until they arrived outside the courtyard at the foot of the mountain. The lake was as calm as a mirror, and the water was so clear that one could see the bottom. The green willows on both sides of the lake gently caressed their faces. A gentle breeze caused ripples to appear on the lake. It was a magnificent sight.
The surroundings were extremely quiet. In the middle of the lake, there was a courtyard that had been erected out of thin air. A winding path made of small wooden stakes led to the courtyard.
To be able to cultivate here, one must be a person of refined leisure. Just this state of mind alone was something that many people could not hope to achieve. Even Ye Qinghan admitted that he was inferior.
Emperor Ye stepped onto the small wooden bridge and arrived outside the courtyard. The music stopped abruptly.
A white-haired man dressed in white slowly pushed open the door and looked at Emperor Ye in surprise.
His spirit was burning, and the deep light in his eyes was restrained. He was wise but not obvious, powerful but not obvious. He was like an old farmer.
He clearly didn't expect a little girl to come to his door. And from her expression, she had heard the music. Others didn't know, but he knew. To be able to hear his music, one had to be a person with an extremely pure soul, an infant, or someone whose understanding of the Dao of the Zither had reached the peak.
"Miss, what brings you to this old man's courtyard?" the old man asked with a smile.
"I came to listen to your music. Senior's Carefree Tune is shocking enough, but I have never heard it before. So I came to take a look out of curiosity. I hope you won't take offense for disturbing Senior's mood." Emperor Ye bowed deeply, his white hair falling down.
The old man's face was full of curiosity. He didn't expect Emperor Ye to be able to understand the true meaning of Carefree Tune at such a young age.
"Oh? You can understand the true meaning of the music? "the old man asked.
Emperor Ye bowed again and replied, "I know a little, but my state of mind is far from yours. I beg Senior to teach me!"
"So the three of you are guests. Please come in." The old man stroked his beard and said indifferently, "This old man has always cultivated in seclusion. Very few people disturb me here. This is the first guest in thousands of years. Meeting is fate. Let this old man properly entertain you."
Ye Qinghan sized up the old man. He must have been a handsome man when he was young. He understood that since this old man could cultivate here for thousands of years without coming out, his state of mind must be far beyond that of ordinary experts. This person must be more than a Venerable Sovereign. He said respectfully, "This junior has disturbed you. Please forgive us, Senior."
"Mm, it's been many years since I've seen such young talents like you. Your battle prowess is not bad. It seems that you have the potential to be titled." The old man nodded in satisfaction and returned to the courtyard first.
The courtyard was very large and was filled with lotus flowers. The fragrance of the flowers filled the air. There were a few simple stone benches and a stone table. These were all the furniture and decorations in the courtyard.
A guqin was placed on the stone table. It was very old, so old that one couldn't tell its age. Every edge and corner was carved with endless years, and they were all about to be worn down.
"Please sit."
The old man waved his sleeve, and the dust on the stone chair was swept away.
Emperor Ye and Ye Qinghan were not surprised by honor or disgrace. They were neither servile nor overbearing. Only Li Shang was slightly more reserved.
The elder looked at the two of them and was very satisfied. He liked to be free and unfettered. He did not like too many restrictions. Thus, the song was filled with yearning for the endless mountains and rivers. It was all about being free and unfettered. Renhuang Ye understood this elder. Thus, even though he was respectful, he would definitely not be pretentious.
"Miss, can you play a song?" The old man said indifferently.
"Then this junior will embarrass myself." Emperor Ye summoned the Human Emperor's Guqin. Before she could play, the old man interrupted her.
"Use the guqin on the table." The old man whispered. Although he seemed casual, his voice was filled with determination.
Emperor Ye was stunned. He put away the Human Emperor's Guqin and sat in front of it. He gently tested the sound and realized that the strings were extremely difficult to control. It was almost the opposite of the person's. Those with an unstable state of mind would find it difficult to control the guqin.
Ye Qinghan was not surprised that Emperor Ye's understanding of the guqin was definitely the best. But now, he couldn't even control the guqin. This guqin and the old man's background was probably not simple.
"Miss, take your time. Don't be anxious." The old man smiled and said kindly.
Emperor Ye calmed down. This old man was testing his state of mind. He walked the path of a free and unfettered state of mind. This guqin was probably the same. If he wanted to control the guqin, it was better to follow the guqin!
Ring ~ ~
A crisp sound reverberated. The white hair fluttered as if it was bathed in divine light. It made one's soul throb.
Ye Qinghan and Li Shang didn't understand what this sound meant. But the old man was extremely surprised. He didn't expect Emperor Ye to be so smart. He understood the true meaning of the guqin so quickly.
Ten fingers gently strummed the guqin. His soul sensed the vibrations of the strings. The guqin brought Emperor Ye into the free and unfettered world. The guqin was free and unfettered.
When Ye Qinghan heard this song for the first time, he was deeply mesmerized! This kind of free and unfettered life was the life that every real man loved. They could freely repay their debts of gratitude and revenge. Didn't people cultivate in defiance of the heavens because they wanted to be free and unfettered?
Emperor Ye quickly became one with the guqin. He played the free and unfettered tune over and over again!
The Dao of Freedom covered the sky. It shone with golden light, shocking the past and present.
The three overlords on the 17th floor were shocked and walked out of their rooms.
"It's the God of Freedom! She actually met the God of Freedom! The opportunity we gave her was not this! "The Shura Overlord said in shock.
"This is her true opportunity! The opportunity we gave her is nothing! "The Ksitigarbha Overlord said solemnly.
"What should we do? Are we going to steal the God of Freedom's disciple? " The Nine Underworlds Overlord was unwilling. A genius like Emperor Ye must become an Intermediate God. Perhaps, he might even have the chance to become a High God. If he could take in such a disciple, he would be able to retire with success! He would become a supreme ruler.
The God Monarch was also the God of Freedom in their mouths. He was only one step away from becoming a High God. Moreover, that was a matter of more than one hundred thousand years ago. Who knew how powerful he was now?
He could ignore reincarnation and travel through the various Middle Planes. He was the most free and unfettered person in this world, a legend! He had lived for a million years. Even the Nine Underworlds Overlord had to call him Dao Friend!
Many people in the Nine Underworlds had heard of his legend. There were also many who didn't know of his existence. In the past one hundred thousand years, many had forgotten about his existence. However, the three overlords would never forget.
"Let nature take its course for now. Who knows, maybe he doesn't want to take in a disciple at all." The Nine Underworlds Overlord said seriously.
At this moment, many experts were discussing the God Monarch. Apart from those above the sixteenth level, no one could recognize him. Thus, they were all at a loss at this moment.
For the entire morning, Emperor Ye played the Unfettered Tan. He became more familiar with it and his understanding of the Dao of Freedom deepened. His control of the zither also became stronger. He could control the zither on his own accord and play a complete song.
At noon, the old man yawned and said faintly, "This old man is tired. You guys can go back now."
Emperor Ye stood up and said respectfully, "Thank you, Senior, for your guidance."
"I didn't teach you anything. I only taught you this zither." The old man smiled. With a wave of his hand, a zither score appeared. He handed it to Emperor Ye and said indifferently, "It's fate that brought us together. This is the Heavenly Command. Take it back and fiddle with it. If you're smart enough, you should be able to learn it. If you can't, then you're too stupid."
After the old man finished speaking, he waved his hand and sent Emperor Ye, Ye Qinghan, and the rest out of the small residence.
Ye Qinghan had never felt so powerless. He couldn't resist the old man's wave of his hand and was sent out of the small residence. If the old man wanted to kill someone, he would definitely be killed in an instant!
"This should be your opportunity. Let's go out of the city and wait for the examinees." Ye Qinghan was very confident. To be able to meet such an old man and learn the Unfettered Tan was definitely Emperor Ye's opportunity.
At this moment, the old man was waiting in an ancient grocery store for Ye Qinghan and Emperor Ye to come and take away their opportunity. However, Ye Qinghan and Emperor Ye had already run out of the city and were waiting for the old man to appear.
After a long time, Ye Qinghan and Emperor Ye still didn't see the old man. They couldn't help but look at each other.
