Chapter 98: Chapter 98: The Celestial Zither Maiden’s Piano Fighting Assembly—A Scheme Against the Third Prince, Feng Qingling Arrives (Third Update)
Through Qin Xuan’s introduction, Jun Xiaoyao gained an understanding of the Imperial City.
"By the way, in this Imperial City, is there a place where one can obtain Source Stones?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"Source Stones?" Qin Xuan looked at Jun Xiaoyao.
The meaning was obvious.
A person who can casually take out Supreme Divine Origins, would he still lack Source Stones?
"I mean Immortal Origins." Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Immortal Origins?" Qin Xuan was slightly surprised.
For someone of her level, Supreme Divine Origins were already a rare opportunity.
As for Immortal Origins, she hadn’t even thought about them.
"Oh right, I remember, in a few days, in the Immortal Jade Tower, the Celestial Pride Maiden from the Immortal Dance Zither Sect, the Celestial Zither Maiden, will host a Piano Fighting Assembly."
"If someone can surpass the Celestial Zither Maiden in the Zither Dao, they can receive a reward of three hundred Immortal Origins," Qin Xuan suddenly said.
Jun Xiaoyao was slightly astonished upon hearing this.
He knew about the Immortal Dance Zither Sect, a renowned top-level Daoist lineage, using the zither as their Dao.
Once, the master of the Immortal Dance Zither Sect used zither music to subdue four Saint King powerhouses, which made the Immortal Dance Zither Sect famous overnight.
And the Celestial Zither Maiden was also a celebrated beauty, a top-tier proud maiden of the Immortal Dance Zither Sect.
"Although the Immortal Dance Zither Sect is a top-level Daoist lineage, can they come up with three hundred Immortal Origins?" Jun Xiaoyao had doubts.
"You might not know, but those Immortal Origins were pooled by the Celestial Zither Maiden’s admirers, such as the Young Master of the Ten Thousand Treasures Commerce Association, the Third Prince of Panwu Divine Dynasty, and others."
"Wait a minute, you say the Third Prince of Panwu Divine Dynasty is an admirer of the Celestial Zither Maiden?" Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes slightly flickered.
"That’s right, but the Celestial Zither Maiden is an ice-cold beauty, proud in temperament, even the Third Prince is pursuing her with difficulty." Qin Xuan said.
This isn’t a big secret; many people know about it.
Jun Xiaoyao contemplated as a plan gradually surfaced in his mind.
"My zither skills are quite ordinary, but handling that Piano Fighting Assembly should be simple."
"If everything goes according to my plan, then Panwu Mausoleum is secure." Jun Xiaoyao’s mouth curved into a confident smile.
Calculating against an Immortal Influence isn’t a simple matter.
But for Jun Xiaoyao, it’s not insurmountable.
"Wu Mingyue is the first piece; this Third Prince of Panwu Divine Dynasty can be the second piece." Jun Xiaoyao whispered to himself.
As time passed.
The entire Divine Dynasty Imperial City also became increasingly lively.
Every day, top-level Daoist lineage young talents could be seen visiting.
And before Wu Mingyue chose a Prince Consort, and the Champion Marquis’ challenge battle.
There was another event that caused a small-scale stir.
That was the Celestial Pride Maiden of the Immortal Dance Zither Sect, the Celestial Zither Maiden, hosting a Piano Fighting Assembly at the Immortal Jade Tower.
This Celestial Zither Maiden, similarly, is a famous beauty in the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm.
But she was an ice-cold beauty, having no interest in the pursuits of any young talents.
Only Zither Dao could pique the interest of the Celestial Zither Maiden.
Yet, Zither Dao is very niche, how many young talents in the entire Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm are proficient in Zither Dao?
This is precisely why no man has caught the eye of the Celestial Zither Maiden so far.
Because of this, someone even made a joke.
If a man could conquer the Celestial Zither Maiden.
Then that man must be the God of Zither Dao.
Of course, even so, admirers of the Celestial Zither Maiden are numerous like carp crossing the river.
The three hundred Immortal Origins for this Piano Fighting Assembly were sponsored by the admirers of the Celestial Zither Maiden.
...
The Immortal Jade Tower is one of the most luxurious and grand buildings in the Divine Dynasty Imperial City.
Just the entrance fee to step into the Immortal Jade Tower costs ten Low Grade Divine Origins.
It’s said to be the most extravagant venue, where only top-level Daoist lineage disciples, nobles of the Divine Dynasty, and celestial prides of Immortal Influence can afford to enter.
Today, on the top floor of the Immortal Jade Tower, flower rain falls, and rays of light cover.
Many young talents are gathered together.
It can be said besides the Eldest Princess marriage selection banquet later, this Piano Fighting Assembly is the most grand.
Amongst the assembled celestial prides, there are many astonishing auras, all top-tier young talents from various influences.
On a VIP seat, sits a young man dressed in a luxurious red-golden robe.
He has a handsome appearance, a composed demeanor, with the aura of one in power, and he is the Third Prince of Panwu Divine Dynasty.
At this moment, his gaze carries obsession and longing, watching the high platform.
On the high platform, mist lingers.
A woman dressed in a red floral gown, cold and elegant-looking, sits there.
Her skin is extremely white, her appearance very beautiful, fingers like scallion roots, lips like red cinnabar.
A simple zither is placed in front of her, lightly caressing the zither strings, from a distance resembling a stunning scenery in a painting.
This woman is the Celestial Pride Maiden of the Immortal Dance Zither Sect, the Celestial Zither Maiden.
A woman who uses the zither as her Dao, pure and clean.
At this moment, her alabaster white, slender hands lightly pluck the zither strings, the sound flowing like water, attracting spirit birds to fly and circle the Immortal Jade Tower.
"Such music should only exist in heaven, few times heard on earth..." the Third Prince listens enraptured, full of praise.
The allure of the Celestial Zither Maiden is not only her appearance but also the temperament emanating from her core.
"Listening to the Fairy’s music, cleansing earthly dust..." on the other side, another young man with a handsome appearance and a noble demeanor also sighed.
He is the Young Master of the Ten Thousand Treasures Commerce Association.
The Ten Thousand Treasures Commerce Association is a well-known commerce association in the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm, powerful, trading with many Immortal Dao lineages.
And a large portion of the three hundred Immortal Origins for this Piano Fighting Assembly were provided by the Young Master of the Ten Thousand Treasures Commerce Association.
Of course, they sponsored the Immortal Origins with pain, but all in hopes of winning a beauty’s smile.
However, making the Celestial Zither Maiden smile is difficult.
Making her see them differently is even harder than reaching the skies.
At this moment, a golden phoenix, pulling a palanquin, approached the Immortal Jade Tower from the distant sky.
When they saw the phoenix, many celestial prides at the top floor of the Immortal Jade Tower were amazed.
"That’s... the phoenix of Ten Thousand Phoenix Spirit Mountain, could it be that a descendant of Ten Thousand Phoenix Spirit Mountain is born?"
As everyone was in extreme surprise.
The phoenix stopped in the void, and a graceful figure enveloped in red divine haze stepped out of the palanquin.
She had a pair of Phoenix Wings behind her, her absolute beauty shrouded in divine haze, making her hard to see clearly.
It was Feng Qingling.
After she and Huang Xuanyi arrived in the Divine Dynasty Imperial City, they heard about the Piano Fighting Assembly.
It happened that Feng Qingling also excels in zither music, and was stirred by a competitive spirit, thus came alone to attend.
The Celestial Zither Maiden glanced at Feng Qingling without saying anything.
Comparing strength, she might not match this descendant of the Ancient Royal Family.
But comparing zither skills, she is confident she does not lose to any celestial pride of Immortal Influence.
As time passed, all the young talents gathered, the Piano Fighting Assembly was about to begin.
And just then, a white-robed transcendent figure stepped into the Immortal Jade Tower...
