Playing the Zither in the Middle of the Night
The Ancient Star Mystery Realm was so vast that one couldn't see the end of it. A towering mountain stood in the middle of it. It was majestic and vast and could be seen clearly from any corner of the Mystery Realm. However, the journey to get there was extremely long.
The sacred hall of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Emperor was not considered remote, but it was still extremely far from the central mountain, several hundred kilometres away. There were mountains and forests along the way, and spiritual beasts would occasionally fly through the air, whistling through the air.
At this moment, three figures flashed through the air.
Behind the three of them stood a five-coloured pillar of light. The pillar was over a hundred metres tall and flickered with resplendent light. It could be seen clearly from extremely far away.
They were Chu Xingyun, Baili Kuangsheng, and Su Jingan.
Gu Tianjiao and Lin Jingxuan had escaped from the chaotic battle in the sacred hall, while Luo Sen had died on the spot. Although this outcome was displeasing, they had gained quite a lot.
Luo Sen had entered many ruins and collected a shocking amount of Celestial Qi. It had reached six hundred strands. Even if the three of them split it evenly, they would still obtain over two hundred strands. Apart from Celestial Qi, his storage ring was extremely rich as well. There were quite a few Spiritual Materials and treasures.
After a discussion between the three of them, Chu Xingyun gave up on these Spiritual Materials and treasures. In the end, he chose the Spatial Lock Spiritual Net.
The Spiritual Materials and treasures in Luo Sen's storage ring came from the Daluo Golden Gate and the ruins. There was no lack of precious items, but Chu Xingyun was not too interested in them. Instead, he liked the Spatial Lock Spiritual Net.
The Spatial Lock Spiritual Net was a Nine-Vein King Artifact. It contained boundless sealing power and could seal off a region.
It did not have any offensive power and could only be used to trap enemies. As a result, it could even trap Nirvana Realm cultivators. Right now, Chu Xingyun had the Black Hole Heavy Sword, so he did not lack killing moves. However, he was lacking in trapping techniques.
Moreover, everyone who entered the Ancient Star Secret Realm had extremely powerful life-saving methods. Although they could be defeated, they were very difficult to kill. Gu Tianjiao and Lin Jingxuan were the best examples. They were able to use magic treasures or magical abilities to luckily escape from their predicament.
The Space Locking Spiritual Nexus could make up for the shortcoming and give Chu Xingyun a better chance of winning.
The shortcoming of the Space Locking Spiritual Nexus was that it required an enormous amount of spiritual energy and a certain amount of time to set it up. Both were indispensable. One had to have perfect control over the Space Locking Spiritual Nexus in order to use it freely.
"Among the six forces in the Northern Barren Territory, the Jiuhan Temple is the most powerful and has the most resources. Since Gu Tianjiao has such a life-saving item like the Void Crossing Spirit Boat, Ye Qianhan should also have one. I hope the Spatial Locking Spirit Net can restrain her so that I can interrogate her." Chu Xingyun looked at the Spatial Lock Spiritual Net in his hand and thought to himself. This was also the main reason why he had seized the Spatial Lock Spiritual Net.
When Chu Xingyun entered the Ancient Star Mystery Dimension, he did not care about the final ranking or the number of spiritual treasures he had. His biggest goal was to figure out the intentions of the Jiuhan Temple and help Shui Liu Xiang break free from the control of the Soul Control Stone.
Both of these points pointed to Ye Qianhan.
She was the disciple of the Jiuhan Temple Master and had also obtained the incantation to control the Soul Control Stone. Chu Xingyun wanted to know everything about her. No matter what, he had to get in touch with her and even capture her.
While thinking, Chu Xingyun's pitch-black eyes flashed with a bright light. His speed suddenly increased as he rushed towards the central area.
When night fell, the three of them stopped and landed in a forest.
This forest was located at the edge of the central area. A few miles ahead was the central area. Chu Xingyun and the other two were not in a hurry. They simply rested there.
The night gradually deepened.
A ray of moonlight shone down. As soon as it touched Chu Xingyun's shoulder, thousands of strands of invisible sword light flashed past, slicing the moonlight into pieces. The aura was extremely sharp. However, after a short while, the aura suddenly thickened. It swept past and crushed the entire space.
"It's still hard to comprehend." Chu Xingyun opened his eyes and said in frustration.
The sword Qi that had spread out from his body earlier was not the sharp Aurora Sword Intent or the overbearing sword light of the Black Hole Heavy Sword. Instead, it was the Chaotic Sword Intent that Chu Xingyun had comprehended himself.
The so-called Chaotic Sword Intent was formless and intangible. However, it contained thousands of things. It was an extremely complex existence.
In the dreamscape created by the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor, Chu Xingyun was not affected by his cultivation. He resonated with his sword and his heart of the sword was clear. He had finally taken the most crucial step and proved the feasibility of the Chaotic Way of the Sword.
However, after leaving the dreamscape, he could not enter that mysterious state again. He tried many times but all ended in failure.
"Looks like my cultivation level is still my shortcoming." Chu Xingyun frowned. As he gradually adjusted his state of mind, images of swords appeared in his mind. They were practicing sword moves. Each sword was sharp and piercing the sky.
These swords came from the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor.
In the mausoleum, Chu Xingyun did not accept the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor's legacy. Instead, he chose the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor's comprehension of the Way of the Sword. He hoped that he could combine the strengths of hundreds of schools to improve his own Way of the Sword. From there, he could truly create the Chaotic Way of the Sword.
Hum!
Just as Chu Xingyun was meditating, the sound of a zither suddenly rang out in the silent night. It was so clear that it reached his ears.
Chu Xingyun stood up and glanced in the direction of the sound. Then, he quietly walked away.
Under a towering ancient tree, Su Jingan, dressed in blue, sat on the ground. A zither was placed on his knees. The zither's strings vibrated gently, producing a gentle sound. It was not ear-piercing. It was very gentle and warm. It seemed to blend into the night wind and caress one's heart.
Su Jingan was already intoxicated by the sound of the zither. His fingers strummed, and the sound of the zither was sometimes fast and sometimes fast. He did not notice that right in front of him, Chu Xingyun had appeared. Chu Xingyun's eyes were focused on him, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Chu Xingyun did not interrupt Su Jingan. Instead, he leaned against the ancient tree and listened quietly.
After a long while, the sound of the zither suddenly stopped.
Chu Xingyun opened his eyes and saw that Su Jingan was also staring at him. An awkward expression appeared on his face. He stood up and said, "Playing the zither in the middle of the night has disturbed you. I hope Swordmaster Luo Yun will not blame me."
"I just finished cultivating and wanted to come out for a walk. It can't really be considered as a disturbance." Chu Xingyun walked forward slowly and said with a faint smile, "Moreover, Brother Su's music is wonderful. At first, the sound of the zither is hurried, like someone who has fallen into the river of love, unrestrained and passionate. But as it goes on, the sound of the zither becomes deeper and slower. It makes one feel melancholy, as if there are thousands of words that cannot be spoken."
"This piece of music is full of the joy of love, the worries of longing, and the sorrows of bitter love. It is truly amazing. Even if I am in the middle of cultivation, I will still be attracted by this piece of music."
Hearing Chu Xingyun's praise, Su Jingan did not look pleased. A light flashed through his eyes. He said excitedly, "Swordmaster Luo Yun, you also know how to play the zither?"
"I do, but I also don't." Chu Xingyun smiled and gave an answer that filled Su Jingan with confusion.
