1127: Chapter 289 1127: Chapter 289 Immortal Bi Yue had never expected Cao Zhen to be capable of fighting; she invited him to join her merely because Cao Zhen understood musical rhythm.
As for fighting, she alone was more than enough.
Even in the Eastern Province, among the ten unique Golden Core high officials who had reached the limit of the Golden Core Stage, such people were extremely rare.
Cao Zhen actually hadn’t sustained any serious injuries; it was only the sudden surge of power that had shaken the energy in his body.
He looked at the Jade Zhi Return Qi Pill in his hand, sniffed it gently, and thought to himself, “Extravagant, simply extravagant.
This pill contains five types of Spiritual Medicine and even two sixth-tier Spiritual Medicines.” Such Spiritual Medicines could completely be used to create better pills, yet to refine just this one was simply wasteful.
It seemed that the alchemy level of the Eastern Province, although stronger than that of the Eastern Wasteland, was just so.
Cao Zhen consumed a pill and then remained silent, but he sighed in his heart, pity, it truly was a pity.
If Xiang Ziyu were not cultivating the Eight Nine Mysterious Art but some other Cultivation Technique, he wouldn’t even need to activate his own technique and could just win lying down; yet with this Eight Nine Mysterious Art, he still needed to run his technique.
But because he was now at the limit of the Golden Core Stage, he could not operate his technique; thus, temporarily speaking, even if Xiang Ziyu’s Eight Nine Mysterious Art reached level six, it was of no use to him.
They were really close to the relic now.
Immortal Bi Yue, maneuvering the Flying Boat, flew for a while longer and soon, the Flying Boat approached the vicinity of this relic.
As the Flying Boat neared, even though it had not officially opened yet, they could hear a variety of pleasant sounds floating over.
Among these sounds, some were high and stirring, others gentle and poignant, some seemed to be narrating something, while others appeared as though thousands of soldiers were engaged in fierce combat.
Among these sounds, there were the sounds of zithers, lutes, and even the Suona, seemingly played by countless musical instruments.
Immortal Bi Yue did not directly pilot the Flying Boat to descend, but looked to Cao Zhen and asked, “Cao Zhen, which entrance do you feel we should take?”
Although she also understood musical rhythm, having such a master by her side, she naturally asked for his opinion.
Even, to make sure Cao Zhen could clearly hear all the sounds, she even maneuvered the Flying Boat to circle around the perimeter of the relic.
Soon, many noticed the Flying Boat circling in flight.
“Looks like it’s people from the Dragon Chant Sect.”
“The Dragon Chant Sect isn’t particularly close to here, they got here so quickly?”
“Could it be Immortal Bi Yue?
Bi Yue had previously attended a grand event of the Cloud Reaching Sect.”
“Since they are from the Dragon Chant Sect, let’s just let them be and not stir up any unnecessary trouble.”
Cao Zhen realized that having the identity of a major sect such as theirs sometimes really solved many problems.
If the Flying Boat did not carry the Dragon Chant Sect’s insignia and still flew so arrogantly around the relic’s perimeter, they would probably have been assaulted by now; but currently, others were only discussing and did not intend to intervene.
Cao Zhen leaned to listen for a while, then suddenly pointed toward a distant place, “Go there, to that entrance.”
“Hmm?” Immortal Bi Yue, upon seeing the entrance Cao Zhen pointed to, immediately piloted the Flying Boat to descend there, but a puzzled expression crossed her face as she asked, “Cao Zhen, why choose that entrance?
I feel that that entrance doesn’t seem particularly remarkable.
The sound coming from this entrance is neither stirring nor sorrowful, nor does it have any sort of overwhelming heroism.
Why choose this particular place?”
Cao Zhen spoke in a low voice, “The sound there is actually different.
If you listen carefully, isn’t this sound full of a joyful feeling?
A welcoming delight?”
“Joy?
Welcome?” Immortal Bi Yue heard this and, while piloting the Flying Boat toward the entrance Cao Zhen had indicated, listened carefully for a long time.
Yet her dainty eyebrows furrowed slightly.
After a while, Immortal Bi Yue gently shook her head and said, “I really can’t make out any overtaking or welcoming sentiment in this sound.
Perhaps this is where you and I differ in our understanding of musical rhythm.”
Though she could not discern the feeling Cao Zhen spoke of, she still brought the Flying Boat to a halt, then put it away, and she and Cao Zhen descended from the sky.
Since she had invited Cao Zhen to join her, she needed to trust him.
She believed that Cao Zhen, with his level of mastery in musical rhythm, would not be mistaken.
Immortal Bi Yue’s Flying Boat, while in flight, had already drawn much attention after all, it was the Dragon Chant Sect’s Flying Boat, and it had been circling so arrogantly.
Now that the Flying Boat had vanished, many looked toward them.
Suddenly, many recognized Immortal Bi Yue.
“Dragon Chant Sect’s Immortal Bi Yue!”
“The person from Dragon Chant Sect is actually Immortal Bi Yue!”
“Immortal Bi Yue, who has reached the limit of the Golden Core Stage.”
“Immortal Bi Yue also chose this place as her entrance to the relic?”
“Who is that male cultivator?”
The crowd, while focusing on Immortal Bi Yue, also noticed the unfamiliar male cultivator who landed alongside her.
Just moments before, the focus was on Immortal Bi Yue, but now, everyone’s attention shifted onto this unknown male cultivator.
