The moon in the sky looked like a silver plate.
The Supreme Beauty Pavilion was surrounded by palaces, forming an immortal pavilion floating in mid-air.
Countless young geniuses were sitting in midair, and all of them wore divine clothes. The men were handsome and dignified, and the women were graceful and moving. When looked at from the ground to the sky, it was simply like a group of immortals were gathered here.
There were four prodigies in blue daoist robes, three men and one woman. They were the four Profound Pure cultivators of the Dao Gate. Natural laws were condensed around them with three primordial energies hovering above their heads.
A woman riding a silver wolf was standing on top of Dongfang Tianmu's head. She had a pure and holy Buddhist aura around her. She looked just like a goddess in the sky. This was the Buddhist sacred ground, the Yushou House, Chan Ling 'er.
Xiyue Clan's Young Lord, Xiyue Lanshan, was ranked ninth on the lower list. He was respected by all and sat proudly in the middle. A handsome man was chatting with him about music.
Beiming Potian and Long Shenya both had high statuses. They were cousins so they sat quite close to each other.
There were seven lords from the Senluo Temple. All of them wore black robes with terrifying Thunder auras. The one sitting at the front was the Second Lord of the Senluo Temple, Xie Honglian.
Five demonesses from the ten temples were also present. Bi Xianxian and Lu Liwei were also present. Many young prodigies stared at them with fiery gazes.
Dongfang Jingshui and Dongfang Jingyue were definitely eye-catching, especially after Dongfang Jingyue obtained the white jade ancient ship. Her cultivation base improved by leaps and bounds, and her immortal essence became more and more intense. She felt like she was about to ascend to the heavens. She even outshone Dongfang Jingshui.
Rumor has it that she was no less beautiful than the prettiest girl in the world, Nangong Hongyan.
"Do you think Feng Feiyun will show up today?" Jingshui quietly smiled.
Dongfang Jingyue sat on a jade chair in the air. Her skin was whiter than her robe, which was whiter than snow. She looked like a goddess sitting in the nine heavens. Her veil fluttered in the wind as she said indifferently: "Whether he appears or not, what does it have to do with me?
Right now, the person who cares about him the most is his fiancée, the Divine King Consort. "
Dongfang Jingyue pointed her finger.
Dongfang Jingshui looked in the direction of her finger and saw Princess Yue's carriage flying over.
Dongfang Jingshui smiled: "Two women are already noisy enough, now there's one more …"
Dongfang Jingyue glanced at him, and he immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say another word.
Jingshui's eyes narrowed. A demonic cloud flew out from his body along with a peerless battle intent. He stared at the sixteen girls in white with musical instruments. "Li Xiaonan, you're here."
Li Xiaonan's sixteen music emissaries arrived. All of them were the best among women, comparable to the young overlords!
Dongfang Jingshui wasn't the only one. Beiming Potian, Long Shenya, and the others were the same. They weren't convinced that they were ranked below Xiaonan on the upper list.
"Whoosh!"
Spirit flowers rained down from the sky. Li Xiaonan's heroic figure descended from the sky. He wore a white robe, looking confident and at ease. Behind him were four beautiful maids — the four famous sword maids.
Xiaonan's arrival attracted the attention of all the female cultivators here. His ethereal aura attracted all of them. Some of them couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Bi Cai Ge Xi, a day apart feels like three months!"
"One day apart is like three years of autumn!"
"One day apart is like three years of age!"
"Junior Sister, it has been four years since we parted at Sacred Spirit Palace but I feel like it has been several thousand years." Xiaonan smiled and murmured a poem while staring at Jingyue. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Junior Sister, it has been four years since we parted at Sacred Spirit but I feel like it has been several thousand years."
Jingyue's eyes were as calm as a virgin as she sat in the clouds: "This is cultivation. One day in the cave is one thousand years in the world."
"Junior Sister, I don't have a place to stay at the capital. Can I trouble you at the dragon lake for a few days?" Xiaonan's brows were as sharp as swords as he stared at Jingyue.
"Clatter clatter!" The sound of armor clattering came about.
Ling Donglai suddenly stood up and said with a mocking smile, "The legendary number one scholar in the world is actually so thick-skinned. Miss Dongfang is not familiar with you, yet you insist on trying to befriend her. One day apart feels like three autumns. I think you say this to every woman, right?"
"Whoosh!"
Sword Attendant Xia formed a sword seal. A sword ray flew out and unleashed more than one thousand sword energies towards Donglai.
Donglai unleashed a palm strike that turned into a tri-pure taiji diagram and shattered all the sword energies. He sneered: "Sacred Spirit Palace is too narrow-minded, don't tell me they don't allow people to talk?"
Xiaonan ignored Donglai and stared at Jingyue with deep affection: "Junior Sister, can I sit next to you?"
Jingyue held her pipa and said: "Tonight, we are making friends through music. If you can beat me in music, then you can sit next to me.
Not only you, but anyone here who can beat me in music can sit next to me. "
Xiaonan smiled confidently after hearing this.
"Being able to compete with the fourth daughter of the Yin Gou is one of life's greatest joys. I'll go first."
Xiyue Lanshan waved his sleeve and a blue light flew out. A set of bronze bells flew out and landed in front of him.
The bronze bells were divided into three layers and eight groups, consisting of eighteen button bells and forty-five yin bells. The three groups hanging at the top were called "button bells", and the five groups hanging diagonally at the middle and lower levels were called "yin bells". They were of different sizes and were engraved with patterns of beasts. They erupted with green splendor and gave off an oppressive immortal aura.
This was a set made up of sixty-three quasi-spirit treasures. Xiyue Lanshan bought it from the Yin Gou Ward for a sky-high price. It had a history of several thousand years. He wanted to give it to Hongyan as a greeting gift, but now, he would use it to compete with Jingyue.
Xiyue Lanshan began to knock on the bells. A profound yet ancient hymn spread throughout the Supreme Beauty Pavilion. Many cultivators on the ground were mesmerized by it.
"Sister, that fourth daughter of the Yin Gou is quite cunning, she's here to steal your limelight!"
Xue Wu stared at the nonchalant Jingyue and said: "It seems like Sister's biggest rival in love isn't Princess Yue, it's her.
She seems to have an immortal heart and stands aloof from worldly affairs, but with just one sentence, she became the star of the show tonight. "
Hongyan held her zither and smirked: "Feng Feiyun once told me about this fourth daughter of the Yin Gou. They had an unforgettable love, but she tricked Feng Feiyun's feelings.
Even if she doesn't see me as an enemy, I still won't let her go. I'll make sure this bitch lives and dies. "
Feng Feiyun told Hongyan the story of Shui Yueting. However, Shui Yueting was from another world, so he had to use Jingyue's name instead. Hongyan had always remembered this bitch's name in her mind. This was a seed of disaster that had been planted long ago.
"This Xiyue Lanshan's musical skills are quite amazing." Xue Wu said.
"A disciple of a great clan is trained to be talented, so of course he wouldn't be too bad.
Only that bastard Feng Feiyun would be so frivolous and tone-deaf. "
She coquettishly pouted and looked around. She couldn't see Feiyun's figure at all and became quite disappointed.
The strength of music wasn't just about being beautiful to the ears. It also had to be in harmony with the heavenly dao and resonated with the grand dao. Only then would this be considered a true immortal music.
If music was divided into three realms, then Xiyue Lanshan's mastery was at the beginner level. He had reached the true musical realm of "mountain is mountain, water is water".
Although he was only at the initial stage of this realm, it was already quite amazing and could be considered a master in the mortal world.
"Your musical skills are far from my junior sister's. Let me handle you!"
Li Xiaonan took out a white jade xun with spirit runes carved on it. It emitted a white jade radiance and played a tune. Countless sounds and shadows flew out. An illusory heavenly palace appeared in the sky, more in line with the grand dao. It directly surpassed Xiyue Lanshan. Li Xiaonan couldn't play anymore with his bell and pestle.
"Amazing, amazing!
The number one scholar in the world is indeed worthy of his reputation. Your musical skills are far above mine. I concede defeat. "Lanshan put away the bells and stepped back.
Despite his defeat, no one looked down on him. After all, his musical skills weren't low either. Not many here could compare to him.
A few other musical prodigies tried to compete with Dongfang Jingyue, but they were all stopped by Li Xiaonan and defeated by Yiyi. Li Xiaonan's musical skills overshadowed all the other geniuses here. The girls went crazy with admiration for him. He was truly a perfect male god.
Even Hongyan was tempted and wanted to play a duet with him to see who was better.
"Bah, the number one scholar in the world is only so-so. Too much craftsmanship, not enough to enter the grand hall. Your musical skills are only so-so, still quite a distance away from me."
In the distance, an ethereal voice came from a palace floating in the sky. It was very arrogant, saying that Li Xiaonan's musical skills were too strong. This was a blatant provocation!
Feng Feiyun didn't try to hide his voice. Many people who knew Feng Feiyun could tell that it was him speaking.
"Fuck!
Feng Feiyun is just as tone-deaf as I am, where did he get the courage to criticize Li Xiaonan? "
Ningshuai hid in the crowd and put a set of bells into his pocket. Earlier, he took advantage of Xiyue Lanshan's inattention to steal this priceless set of bells.
