Chapter 276: Heading To White Tiger Domain, Never Seen A Place Like This, Why Don’t We Mental Spar
“This tune has made these Daoists enter a state of epiphany?”
The Black Heaven Sect’s Sages were quite surprised.
Who knew that Chu Kuangren’s music would have such an effect. However, after they thought about the Daoist Rhyme in that tune, they realized that it actually made sense.
That guqin music was indeed quite indulging to listen to.
It was almost like the sound of nature itself!
Under Chu Kuangren’s days of training, these few people had already accumulated a lot of insight. Now, with the guidance of the guqin music, their brains seemed to have gone into overdrive and entered the state of epiphany. Their strength might have improved by leaps and bounds.
“Lan Yu, I’ll play this guqin again for you in the future.”
Chu Kuangren let out a smile and stashed away the guqin.
Not long after that, it was as if something had popped up into his mind, and he said to Lan Yu, “Right. Do you think I should give this guqin a name?”
“The Lingering Song, this guqin is called the Lingering Song.”
Lan Yu answered swiftly, “This name was picked by Elder Ruyan.”
She vividly remembered the time when Elder Ruyan passed her the guqin. She pronounced this name to Lan Yu in all seriousness, reminding her not to let Chu Kuangren name this instrument.
She was not about to take any chances in Chu Kuangren’s naming ability.
“Oh? Inspired by the saying that a melodious tune would remain lingering around the beams of a room for days on end? It really is a nice name. What a shame, I wanted to name it the Stinging Rumble.”
Chu Kuangren sighed in disappointment.
Stinging Rumble?
Did it sound like a rumble?
Lan Yu could not help but let out a snarky roast.
After defeating the sword qi clones, Nangong Huang and the others gathered and immediately discussed the guqin music they had heard earlier.
“Do you guys know where that guqin sound came from just now? It’s so abstruse. I immediately entered a state of epiphany when I listened to it.”
“Yes, it’s too amazing.”
“I have never heard of such a vast Daoist Rhyme. The person who played that guqin tune must be an incredible Musical Daoist Grandmaster.”
“But why would a Grandmaster show up here?”
“He even helped us gain epiphany.”
“The Sect Leader must know what’s going on. Let’s ask him later.” When Nangong Huang said, he immediately saw Chu Kuangren and another person towards them from afar.
The few of them quickly went up to them.
“Sect Leader, you’re here. Do you know how that guqin music came about just now?” Murong Xuan went straight to the point and asked.
“Of course, I do.”
“I wonder which Musical Daoist Grandmaster played that. Can we ask for your permission to meet the Grandmaster? We’d like to thank him in person.”
Nangong Huang said.
“This person may seem far away from you, but he’s right in front of you,” Chu Kuangren replied.
Upon hearing that, the group of them turned to look at Lan Yu in shock.
“Lan Yu, it was you who played that song?”
Chu Kuangren was stunned.
‘Why would you guys relate it to Lan Yu? Was it not obvious that it was me, your almighty Sect Leader, who had played the song?’
“I’ve heard Lil Bing said that Miss Lan is adept at playing the guqin, but all this while, I’ve never had the opportunity to listen to it. What I heard was really beyond my imagination.”
Murong Xuan said admirably.
Jun Yi looked doubtful on the other hand. “I’ve heard Lan Yu’s music before. It’s great, but not as great as this.”
“It wasn’t me, it was Master.”
Lan Yu pointed toward Chu Kuangren.
“Sect Leader, you can play the guqin?”
“Why? Is that surprising to you?” Chu Kuangren said.
“No, I’ve just never heard that you can play the guqin, Sect Leader,” Nangong Huang replied in astonishment.
“There are many things that I can do. Do I really have to tell you everything?”
Chu Kuangren rolled his eyes and said.
“No, you don’t have to,” Nangong Huang scratched his head and said.
Nobody had any doubts when Chu Kuangren said that he played the guqin because after all, Chu Kuangren had showcased too many extraordinary abilities. It was not at all baffling for him to add Musical Daoist Grandmaster to his name.
“Right, Sect Leader, now that we’ve defeated your sword qi clones, I wonder if you have any more training regimes in store for us?”
Nangong Huang asked.
“That’s it. There are only seven days left until the championship. What more training do you need? We’ll leave for White Tiger Domain tomorrow.”
Upon hearing what Chu Kuangren said, everyone stared at each other.
“Why do I not feel delighted about this?”
Murong Xuan said.
On one hand, they felt relieved, because such a tormenting ordeal had finally come to an end. However, on the other hand, they noticed that they have made progress, and they hoped that this training would never end.
“Are you all hooked on being tortured? If so, I shall give you a new, more vigorous training regime the next time we return.”
Chu Kuangren swept a glance at Murong Xuan and said.
At that, the group of people felt a cold shiver trickling down their spine. The current training was already hell to them, what would a more vigorous one be to them?
“No, Sect Leader, I’m just kidding.”
“Only Murong Xuan said that. We never said that we wanted it.”
“Yes, exactly. If you need someone to train, just take Murong Xuan with you.”
All of them made a fuss for a while.
After that, Chu Kuangren let them go to make the necessary preparations.
The next day.
Chu Kuangren took out the Illusive Mirage.
As the Illusive Mirage floated atop of the Black Heaven Sect, its gigantic vessel made everyone present feel its domineering aura.
“Best wishes, Sect Leader.”
At the mountain entrance.
Elder Ruyan and the few others bid Chu Kuangren and the group of Daoists farewell.
They would be representing the Black Heaven Sect in the Sky-Pride Championship this time, so each one of them had a huge burden on their shoulders.
“Alright, we shall be on our way then.”
Chu Kuangren followed the group of Daoists up to the Illusive Mirage.
Soon after, two blasts of enormous airflow gushed out of the Illusive Mirage’s stern, propelling it forward and leaving two white trails on the clouds. Just like that, it blasted the rest of the disciples off their feet in a shambolic fashion.
“This Illusive Mirage is so awesome!”
“Tsk tsk, I’m happy to have sat on it once.”
…
On the Illusive Mirage.
It was Nangong Huang and Qin Wushuang’s first time on the Illusive Mirage, so they looked at the buildings, structures, fake mountains, and greenery all around them in bewilderment.
‘So this is a Fairy boat?!’
‘This Is almost like a floating city all by itself!’
In contrast to Nangong Huan and the others, Murong Xuan’s reaction was normal. He had been on the Illusive Mirage once, even though that experience was not the most pleasant one.
When he recalled what happened to the Murong clan, his eyes turned dark.
However, when he shifted his gaze to Nangong Huang and the others who were still exploring the Illusive Mirage, a smile was inadvertently etched at the corner of his lip.
He walked up to them and gave them a side-eye. “Pfft, look at you guys. You’re like someone who has never seen the real world before. How embarrassing.”
“The Illusive Mirage is truly magnificent.”
Nangong Huang continued to say. He feared that he would not be guaranteed to find another fairy boat like this one even if he had flipped the entire Firmament Star over.
“Alright, find a room for yourselves here. I estimate it would take at least two or three more days before we reach the White Tiger Domain.”
Chu Kuangren ordered them. Amongst the four domains, the Azure Dragon Domain was located the furthest from the White Tiger Domain. The Four Domains Sky-Pride Championship this time would be held in White Tiger Domain’s First City, where even traveling by the Illusive Mirage would take them some time.
“Yes, Sect Leader.”
With that, Nangong Huang and the group went to look for their respective places to stay.
Meanwhile, Lil Red, who had broken out in her true form was having her fun time on the Illusive Mirage. She swooped in and out in between the numerous pagodas.
“Lil Red, be careful. Don’t destroy anything.”
“Got it, Brother.”
Chu Kuangren glanced at Lil Red once before he ignored her.
When it was nighttime, Nangong Huang, Jun Yi, and the few others gathered together. They stared at the moon and fetched out some drinks and snacks, admiring the moon while savoring some good wine.
“How about we do some mental sparring?”
Suddenly, Murong Xuan announced this idea out of nowhere.
“Sure.”
“I had the same thought.”
The few others did not reject the idea.
Only Shang Qingxue silently walked to one side and did not participate. Her cultivation base was too weak. If she had gone forth with the mental sparring, it would do her more harm than good.
Nevertheless, she might just gain some insight by watching them.
The few people began their mental sparring, and none was more superior than the other.
Then, they suddenly turned their gaze at Chu Kuangren. After taking a glance at each other, their aligned their respective Daoist Rhymes at Chu Kuangren and charged it towards him.
