Chapter 64: Having A Blast!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chirp chirp chirp...
Birds were circling in the sky above the four-part architecture. As time passed, more and more birds gathered, forming circle after circle. It looked like layers of a whirlpool—very majestic.
Li Nianfan looked up nostalgically, watching the birds as he thought of his days in the past. He had not seen this for quite some time now, which he realized to have greatly missed.
He remembered that when his skill was within the ten levels, this would always happen whenever he played the instrument. Back then, he was proud of himself. He always imagined what it would look like when he reached the so-called ‘peak’ as referred to by the System.
However, after he had a breakthrough to level ten, this sight was gone. Li Nianfan felt cheated by the System.
As for Qin Manyun, she was just looking up at the sky. Her eyes were relaxed and filled with admiration. When would she ever reach the level of her teacher?
As the last note was played, the air became as calm as before.
Yao Mengji’s eyes were filled with a hint of excitement. He actually played a piece with this Spiritual instrument! He would be able to brag about it for the rest of his life!
He was very thankful to Li Nianfan for giving him such an opportunity.
He stood up and looked at Li Nianfan, hoping for his affirmation as well as some pointers.
Li Nianfan wanted to be like the System and give him some constructive criticism, but looking at his aged face and white hair, he could not do it.
‘This man’s already so old. I’d have to save him from embarrassment.’
Li Nianfan smiled. “Mr. Yao, we won’t give comments today. Let’s communicate through the music directly.”
“Thank you, Mr. Li.” Yao Mengji made way for him.
Li Nianfan faced the front yard and turned his back to the backyard. Upon sitting on the seat, he positioned his hands on top of the strings while his gaze was calm like a lake.
Since the cultivators were here, he could not just play any simple song. He would have to play something more impressive!
‘I’ll play that piece!’
At this moment, Yao Mengji and Qin Manyun could feel a change in Li Nianfan. They watched his back as if they were looking at the door of vicissitudes activating gradually.
As the door was gradually activated, waves of vicissitudes launched at them, suppressing them making them hard to breathe.
Instantly, Blackie who was sleeping inside the room jumped up excitedly and ran out of the room. He then laid down with his ears perked up, ready to listen.
Li Nianfan adjusted his state, he raised his hands and from left to right, plucked on the strings.
Ding...ding...ding...
Suddenly, a sonorous force erupted, strong and powerful. It was as if a huge rock had been dropped into the calm lake, breaking the peace.
Qin Manyun and Yao Mengji jolted vigorously. Their muscles tensed as if facing an enemy. Their pupils dilated as they stared at the shocking waves of Insights flowing out from Li Nianfan like water flowing from a river.
At this instance, Li Nianfan was like a sea of Insights as waves of it poured out of him, filling the world with bottomless Insights!
Too much! Too deep!
They did not know if it was in their minds, but they could feel as if Li Nianfan had stood up from nature, turning into the center of beings and existing like a Saint who was painting the world with Insights.
Independent of the other beings!
The music was already at its climax from the beginning, growing more eager and desperate as the music continued. There was not a trace of slowing down.
Daji stayed transfixed in her spot, engulfed by the overwhelming Insights as if she was just transported into another realm.
A scroll unfolded before them. It was a painting of a war scene. Two opposing armies were fighting one another—there were golden drums, swords, and crossbows. Then, the sound of horses. At first, they were excited, which was followed by fear and lastly, grief.
Camps, blows, commanders, line up, marching, cover, small battles, big battles...
The music kept on changing—its tempo, rising and falling. The emotions deepened as the scene continued to unfold.
Determination, unwillingness, despair, death, wailing, sorrow—countless emotions condensed into one, eventually turning into a monstrous Insight!
This Insight was known as...War!
Vroom!
Yao Mengji and the rest had their minds blown. They felt as if they were tadpoles in the ocean, unable to grasp the vastness of the Insight flowing at them!
Yao Mengji was filled with bitterness. So, the reason Li Nianfan refused to comment was because his playing was too bad! So bad that Li Nianfan did not even want to speak of it!
In this instant, he finally understood the feeling of being a frog at the bottom of the well.
Before this, he knew his skills were not the best but he still thought it was presentable at least. After this, he realized how much of a joke he was!
Perhaps he was not even at the entry-level!
No wonder the expert refused to play a duet with him. He did not want to hurt him!
With his level of skill, a note from the expert could easily kill him due to its immense Insight!
He was helplessly weak. Li Nianfan was trying to protect him!
At this moment, Qin Manyun jolted vigorously. Her face turned pale. “Teacher, this...this...”
Yao Mengji looked up to the sky with dilated pupils and gulped, unable to speak a word.
In the backyard, a gold silhouette shot up to the sky. Its long body was like a golden thread connecting the sky and the ground. It exuded an air of majestic authority that suppressed everyone else, making others unable to move.
“It’s a...dragon?!” Daji always felt that there was something in the backyard, that there was a hidden secret she did not know of. Finally, she was able to get a glimpse of the big secret!
Swiftly after, trees were shooting up rapidly from the backyard, turning into the massive and gigantic dryads touching the sky! Furthermore, they were swaying along to the rhythm of the music as if dancing in joy! The scene was terrifying and shocking!
Tzz...
“These dryads... Any one of them would be able to fight the Silver Moon Demon King!”
Yao Mengji and Qin Manyun felt as if their brains were about to explode. They did not dare take another breath.
At this instance, they finally understood where all these Enlightenment Bamboo came from!
Hwa-la!
Water erupted into the sky, shooting up an old tortoise that landed near the Guqin. It laid by the side of the pond quietly.
Blackie remained in its spot, ears perked up tall like a rabbit’s.
The Sword Immortal Jade, Dragon Fire Pearl, Fallen Demon Sword, and the Thousand-Year Black Ice started glowing in different shades. Even the newly planted elixirs and Spiritual Herbs were swaying to the rhythm in unison!
They were all having a blast!
Even Daji felt her scalp itching. She had lived in this yard for so many days. Now, she had no idea what world this was!
Even the Immortal Land would be less terrifying, right?
Qin Manyun and Yao Mengji looked up blankly in fear, staring at the monstrous plants swaying to the music. Their brains had long stopped working. It was good enough that they had not fainted.
As for the flying birds that were hovering around, they had long run away!
