1116: Chapter 287_2 1116: Chapter 287_2 Cao Zhen wrote at an incredibly fast pace, and soon finished composing the piece, which he handed to Wu Se.
Wu Se took the rice paper and just glanced at it, a look of astonishment flashed across his face as he exclaimed, “Beautiful writing!
Master Cao is truly talented and capable.
This piece…
such a good composition…”
Wu Se hailed from the Five Sounds Sect and had seen much, so when the others heard his cry of surprise, they all leaned forward to look.
“Indeed, it’s a marvelous piece.”
“Can a musical piece even be arranged like this?”
“I can hardly wait to give it a try.”
“Come on, let’s have a go at it.”
Before long, the group began to try playing the music.
With their own cultivation bases and expertise in various instruments, even though it was their first encounter with the piece, they quickly became familiar with it.
Cao Zhen initially lead the group through the piece twice, but seeing that everyone was getting familiar, he stopped playing.
Instead, Immortal Bi Yue pulled him aside and whispered, “Master Cao, actually, we don’t need them to perform.
I could speak to the people from the Five Sounds Sect and have just you play.
We could collaborate on ‘Moon Infiniteness’ together.”
Cao Zhen’s eyes widened in shock.
The people of the Five Sounds Sect were gathering musicians and practicing with such commitment, and yet here she was saying they weren’t needed.
You really don’t regard the people of the Five Sounds Sect as part of the Great Teaching.
Just how much stronger is your Dragon Chant Sect compared to the Five Sounds Sect?
Out of curiosity, Cao Zhen couldn’t help but ask, “Would that be all right?
They are also people from a Great Teaching.”
“It’s fine,” Immortal Bi Yue replied nonchalantly, waving her hand lightly.
“The Five Sounds Sect has asked for my assistance.”
“Assistance?
In what way?” Cao Zhen was puzzled.
What kind of help could the Five Sounds Sect need that they would give Immortal Bi Yue such face?
“Actually, it’s nothing much.” Immortal Bi Yue gestured towards Wu Se in the distance and explained, “Their Sect is about to face a Sect Tribulation.
The Five Sounds Sect has only recently become a Great Teaching, and this will be their first Sect Tribulation since rising to that status, and it’s happening during the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth.
They have no full confidence in their ability to overcome it.
Therefore, they want to invite powerful figures for assistance.
They found me and also hoped that I could find some other experts.”
“I see,” Cao Zhen said, having previously heard about Sect Tribulations outside the Cloud Reaching Sect.
He was aware of their existence and knew that helping resist a Sect Tribulation could bring great benefits.
Such an act would even be rewarded by the Heavenly Dao.
If possible, he too wished to help resist a Sect Tribulation, but that would be too high-profile.
Cao Zhen began to ponder.
If others knew that he had reached the limit of the Golden Core Stage with his Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills, what would happen?
Would the Great Teachings target the Hundred Peaks Sect?
However, it seemed that if he didn’t reveal himself sooner or later, especially once the Eastern Wasteland connected with the Central Five Provinces, others would eventually find out.
After all, if someone provoked the Hundred Peaks Sect, he would have to take action, wouldn’t he?
Even if he didn’t personally intervene, given his reputation in both the Eastern Wasteland, and specifically in East Breeze and the Eastern Border, others could find information about him.
So revealing himself might not be so bad after all.
Moreover, even if he kept himself hidden, Xiang Ziyu was already within the Sky-reaching Formation.
That youngster truly had the potential to ascend the so-called rainbow stairs and cause a sensation.
Thus, revealing his capabilities wouldn’t matter much in the end.
And by helping withstand the tribulation, he could obtain divine rewards descended by the Heavenly Dao.
He wondered what treasures the Heavenly Dao would bestow.
Filled with curiosity, Cao Zhen asked Immortal Bi Yue, “What treasures have they promised?”
Immortal Bi Yue didn’t intend to keep secrets and readily replied, “At that time, the treasures and resources bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, all items related to the Great Dao, as well as cultivation techniques and spells, will belong to the Five Sounds Sect.
Of the remaining treasures and resources, their Heavenly Tones Sect will first select twenty items.
The rest of the resources I may choose one item from.”
Cao Zhen couldn’t know what treasures the Heavenly Dao would bestow, but since it was enough for Immortal Bi Yue to agree, the benefits were evidently substantial.
If there was a chance, he would also like to select something.
The problem was, the people of the Five Sounds Sect wouldn’t seek him out, right?
Unless, Immortal Bi Yue recommended him.
No, that was incorrect.
The people of the Five Sounds Sect were right here; he just needed to let them know his prowess.
Why should he go out of his way when he could establish a good relationship with them now?
Thinking this, Cao Zhen deliberately spoke up loudly, “We shouldn’t just let them practice; we’re going to perform together later.
I’ll go and coordinate with them now.”
With that, Cao Zhen stepped forward and approached the members of the Five Sounds Sect, watching as they practiced together and softly inquired, “Does anyone have any questions?
Taoist Wu, actually, when you play, you don’t need to look for…”
Cao Zhen even started to point out issues in their musical rhythm.
As Wu Se listened to the continuous sound of Cao Zhen’s voice beside him, he couldn’t help but feel amazed.
Master Cao indeed had the demeanor of a great man.
Although Immortal Bi Yue had taken Master Cao aside, giving him an excellent chance to interact with her—he felt that she was very close to Master Cao—Cao Zhen declined it.
Instead, he came over to guide everyone, aiming for a better performance when it came time to play.
It was no wonder Master Cao had such high attainments in musical rhythm.
Furthermore, Master Cao’s guidance gave one the impression of him generously imparting his full knowledge.
