Qin Yu stared at the war drum as his mind buzzed incessantly. The Qi and blood in his body churned, and his face turned pale. Blood kept flowing out of his mouth.
Before this, Qin Yu had been completely immersed in the sound of the world. But now, he suddenly felt a powerful pressure erupt from the world. This strength was like a divine sense attack, one that Qin Yu couldn't resist.
If it wasn't for the fact that his Divine Soul was strong, this attack would have shattered his Divine Soul.
Just as Qin Yu was still in shock, Xiao Shenbing appeared in front of him and looked at Qin Yu in bewilderment. "What's wrong with you?"
There were no words to describe how shocked Xiao Shenbing was. She was known as the most outstanding person in the Divine Sound Lineage and had extraordinary talent in the Way of Sound.
But now, Qin Yu had not only listened to the sound of heaven and earth in just half a year, but he had also captured the rhythm. This made Xiao Shenbing feel as if he was dreaming. Back then, it had taken him nearly two years to listen to the sound of heaven and earth.
Then, she had taken another five years to capture the rhythm.
Now, someone had done it in half a year … How could Xiao Shenbing not be shocked?
At this moment, Xiao Shenbing suddenly understood why the Sage Teacher had personally lured this person to the Divine Sound Lineage.
There were only a few people with such talent in all the heavens.
Following that, Qin Yu's reply left Xiao Shenbing dumbfounded.
"I was trying to play the sound of the world that I heard, but an oppressive feeling erupted from the world. This attack almost scared me out of my wits." Qin Yu said in a low voice.
Xiao Shenbing stared at Qin Yu in a daze. It was already extremely rare for someone to use only half a year to listen to the sound of heaven and earth and capture the rhythm. Then, in this half a year, he could even cause the heaven and earth to shake …
This was beyond Xiao Shenbing's understanding. After all, it took her 30 years to capture the rhythm and trigger the Heaven and Earth Rebounding Force!
Her chest rose and fell violently. Xiao Shenbing calmed down and said, "This is the world's reflection."
"World's reflection?" Qin Yu was puzzled.
"This is a hurdle in comprehending the rhythm, just like the law of karma. By causing the world to reflect, it means that you have come into contact with the true power of the world. If you can overcome this hurdle, you can become a war drum master." Xiao Shenbing said clearly.
However, she was still in a daze.
She really could not believe that someone could cause the world to reflect in half a year … At this moment, she was wondering if Qin Yu had already mastered the rhythm.
Xiao Shenbing did not know that Qin Yu had comprehended countless remnant souls of the world in the past few years. Therefore, his sensitivity towards the world was incomparable to ordinary people's.
"War drum master?"
After Xiao Shenbing's Xiao Shenbing's eyes......... Qin Yu Xiao Shenbing..... of Xiao Shenbing Shenbing...
Xiao Shenbing looked at Qin Yu strangely. He wondered if Qin Yu had fallen into the trap of military merit. After becoming a War Drum Master, he actually asked for a salary?
"A thousand battle merits a year. Not only that, you can also get an advance payment," Xiao Shenbing said.
A thousand?
Qin Yu's pupils constricted. He was overjoyed. A thousand battle merits. That was ten times more than what a beginner war drum master would get!
"How can I overcome this hurdle?"
Qin Yu asked impatiently. A thousand battle merits a year. That would be 120,000 battle merits in 100 years. That meant that he could get close to 360,000 battle merits before the Nine Armies Drill. How could Qin Yu not be overjoyed?
"Don't be happy too early. Overcoming this hurdle is just one of the steps. You also need to master the sound of the heart. Only by combining the sound of the world and the sound of the heart can you become a war drum master." Xiao Shenbing poured cold water on Xiao Shenbing's enthusiasm.
"Tell me how to overcome this hurdle first."
Qin Yu asked. He was not asking for battle merits. Instead, he wanted to activate the true power of the world. If he could do it, would he be able to achieve the resonance of the world mentioned by Chasing Famine?
"It's not that simple. This hurdle has trapped too many people. You need to spend a lot of time trying until the world recognizes you. Only then can you truly overcome this hurdle," Xiao Shenbing said.
Although Qin Yu attracted the Backlash of the World in just half a year, Xiao Shenbing did not think that Qin Yu could overcome this hurdle easily. This hurdle had trapped too many people. Even she had spent a lot of time on it.
"Xiao Shenbing, have you overcome this hurdle?" Qin Yu asked.
Xiao Shenbing nodded slightly. There was a hint of pride between her brows. Very few people at her age could overcome this hurdle.
"How many years did it take?" Qin Yu asked again.
"Eighty-seven years!" Xiao Shenbing said indifferently.
"Eighty-seven years?"
Qin Yu frowned and carefully sized up Xiao Shenbing. He wondered if Xiao Shenbing's talent was ordinary …
As if she could read Qin Yu's mind, Xiao Shenbing said coldly, "This hurdle has trapped countless people. It will take at least a hundred years to overcome it!" What she meant was that she had only used eighty-seven years and was already extremely outstanding.
Qin Yu nodded. After pondering for a while, he asked again, "Since I can become a war drum master after overcoming this hurdle, can I become a high-level war drum master now?"
"No matter what level a war drum master is, they need to control the sound of the heart. Now that you can trigger the Backlash of the World, if you can also control the sound of the heart, you can participate in the war drum master examination," Xiao Shenbing answered.
Qin Yu nodded and said, "Teach me how to listen to the sound of the heart now."
Time was tight. Qin Yu did not want to waste too much time here. He still needed to think of ways to obtain more battle merits and exchange them for more blood essence of vicious beasts. If he could transform, he wanted to enter the Demon Fall Forest and stimulate the power of the
Six-sided bronze cauldron with even more law patterns!
"I said before that the Dao of Sacred Sound cannot be rushed. First, stabilize the sound of the World, then try to listen to the sound of the heart.
。”
Xiao Shenbing rejected immediately. Qin Yu had triggered the Backlash of the World, so it was more important for him to stabilize it now and not rush it.
Try to listen to the sound of the heart.
"Teach me how to listen first … After I stabilize it, I will start to listen to the sound of the heart." Qin Yu originally wanted to be more forceful, but he was afraid that Xiao Shenbing would leave directly. Hence, he said tactfully.
Xiao Shenbing hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Before you listen to the sound of the heart, you have to understand your own heart. Only after that can you understand what the sound of the heart is … and then try to comprehend the rhythm of the heart. Remember, the deeper your state of mind is, the more you will be able to hear the sound of the heart.
The more I can sense the sound of your heart, the stronger the power of the sound of your heart will be. "
"Before you understand the sound of the heart, you have to calm your heart and sink into an ethereal state to quietly feel your heart … This process requires you to comprehend it yourself. As for the specifics, I am unable to explain it to you," said Xiao Shenbing.
"Don't think that you understand your own heart. For countless years, the thing that cultivators do not understand the most is their own heart. No one is an exception.
Comprehend it well. "Xiao Shenbing left after saying that.
Qin Yu sat there cross-legged and digested what Xiao Shenbing said. After a long time, he slowly closed his eyes to see if what Xiao Shenbing said was true.
Subsequently, Qin Yu channeled the Dao of Heart and entered an ethereal state, sinking into his heart.
Qin Yu, who had sunk into his heart, had an indescribable feeling. Over the years, he had comprehended many things and countless remnant souls of the World. However, this was the first time he felt his own heart …
It had to be said that this feeling was very strange. It was as if … this was not his heart, but a stranger's heart.
After an unknown period of time, it seemed to be one year, two years, or three years.
Qin Yu, who had completely sunk into his heart, forgot about time and everything else. He was completely immersed in it.
Time passed. After an unknown period of time.
Xiao Shenbing was sitting in a pavilion in the garden where hundreds of flowers were blooming. Her mind enveloped the garden as she listened to the sounds of the flowers.
Xiao Shenbing, who was immersed in it, suddenly realized that the originally cheerful flowers were suddenly filled with endless sorrowful cries. This woke her up instantly.
Then, a subtle and low drumming sound was heard all of a sudden.
Xiao Shenbing suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of the lake.
