Chapter 552: 552: Immortal World Excursion_1

At this moment, ten years were left until the hundred-year deadline, and many immortals had withdrawn from their state of enlightenment.

“Each of these eight sounds is more profound than the last. Alas, I was too impatient to achieve success in my youth, and I attempted to ascend to the Great Luo level without fully comprehending the seventh sound, resulting in failure just as I was on the brink of success,” Yuanwu Immortal King sighed.

“Senior, with your extraordinary talent, you will surely achieve the Great Luo level,” One of the immortals remarked.

“After achieving Taiyi, it’s extremely difficult to ascend to the Great Luo, therefore it’s best to enter the Great Luo directly after achieving perfection in the Golden Immortal stage. In Upper Immortal World, despite the abundance of Taoist Rhymes, such complete rhymes like the Wind Fairy Eight Sounds are extremely rare,” Yuanwu Immortal King commented.

“Indeed, he is here to recruit,” Qin Changqing mused.

There were numerous immortals present, most of whom had ascended from the lower realms.

Although many of these immortals might not possess strong current strength, their potential was astonishing.

Yuanwu Immortal King had started making his recruitment pitch one hundred years after he began his lecture.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

His words stirred the hearts of several immortals.

“All immortals can practice the Taoist Rhymes. We have ten more years, during which I can provide guidance for you all,” Yuanwu Immortal King offered.

“I’ve always yearned for the Wind Immortal world, so I’ll go first,” one of the immortals volunteered, standing up.

The immortal harnessed his Immortal Element and began to move his hands.

Yuanwu Immortal King plucked the Taoist Rhyme with just a single finger, but this immortal was playing it like a zither, rapidly generating continuous sounds, quickly creating a melody with the Taoist Rhymes.

The Taoist Rhyme was originally continuous and felt like it could birth myriad beings out of the void.

The immortal was obviously interpreting the Taoist Rhyme by dissecting it.

In fact, this was also how Qin Changqing had initially plucked the Taoist Rhyme.

It was only after injecting various experiences over a hundred years that he was able to determine the sound with just one pluck.

This immortal was not very impressive.

Just like this, he plucked the Taoist Rhyme, and Qin Changqing still noticed several mistakes. Finally, the immortal finished his performance.

The progression of his performance exceeded 10%, but there were obvious mistakes in several areas.

“Not bad. Although there are three minor mistakes, you have gained over ten percent comprehension. If you are willing to join the Wind Immortal World, you may accompany me after the lecture,” Yuanwu Immortal King evaluated cautiously after taking some time to correct his errors.

“Senior, your junior is willing!” the immortal replied enthusiastically.

Then, the other immortals began their performances.

Their methods of performance were essentially the same.

Just like playing a piano, they dissected the Taoist Rhyme to interpret it.

Some immortals did not understand even ten percent of it, only a few percentages. Still, Yuanwu Immortal King remained patient and gave them guidance.

There were also immortals who managed to comprehend ten percent, but politely declined to join the Wind Immortal World.

Yuanwu Immortal King did not mind this either, he patiently gave them advice as well.

This was indeed the demeanor of an Immortal King.

The number of immortals here was quite impressive, and each of their performances of the Taoist Rhyme, coupled with Yuanwu Immortal King’s guidance, took at least a couple of hours, and for some, it took several days or even longer.

In this manner, over a year passed and Bingmeng Fairy stood up.

Her hands danced adroitly, rendering the Taoist Rhyme.

Bingmeng Fairy, deserving of her title as a prodigy who ascended after just over twenty thousand years, had not been an immortal for long, but her comprehension of the Taoist Rhyme was also over ten percent.

Yuanwu Immortal King looked at her more favorably, intending to invite her to join the Wind Immortal World.

However, Bingmeng Fairy was not willing to join the Wind Immortal World yet. She was planning to wait and see.

“No problem, you can go to the Wind Immortal World whenever you’re willing,” Yuanwu Immortal King told her.

In this way, several years passed, and many immortals had taken turns performing the Taoist Rhymes.

The ascended immortals were indeed more stunning. Over two-thirds of the numerous immortals here comprehended more than ten percent of the Taoist Rhyme.

However, among these two-thirds of immortals, only a small portion expressed willingness to join the Wind Immortal World right away.

A few more immortals were still hesitating.

A few more years passed, and it was the turn of the immortals seated at the front.

These immortals had been immortals for longer and their strength was obviously stronger.

Their performance of the Taoist Rhyme was noticeably more proficient, and they also understood more. Most of them comprehended more than ten percent, and some even comprehended twenty percent.

Finally, it was the man sitting next to Qin Changqing’s turn.

The man stood up, his fingers gently moving.

As he performed his actions, the first sound of the Wind Fairy Eight Sounds was smoothly and flawlessly interpreted by him.

His movements were minimal, only requiring a few dozen motions to interpret more than thirty percent of the first sound, and there wasn’t a single mistake.

During the interpretation of the Taoist Rhyme, the fewer movements… the more skillful the performer. If you’re constantly moving your fingers as if you’re playing a piano, it means you don’t have a full understanding.

But he couldn’t interpret anything beyond that.

Yuanwu Immortal King’s gaze revealed admiration.

“With your Spirit Immortal body, to perform such a spectacular interpretation is no easy feat. Would you join the Wind Immortal World? If you’re willing, after passing a few small tests, this old man may consider making you his registered disciple,” Yuanwu Immortal King offered.

Upon hearing his words, the other immortals looked at the man enviously.

A disciple to an Immortal King!

“Your junior is willing!” the man agreed with great joy and a sense of achievement on his face.

He glanced at the lady in white on Qin Changqing’s side. However, she didn’t show any reactions.

At this point, there were only a few people who had not performed the Taoist Rhyme yet.

Yuanwu Immortal King’s gaze fell on the place where Qin Changqing’s dream consciousness was.

“Little friend, although it seems that you have not yet ascended, you have traveled the Immortal World, which is extraordinary. Do you have any gains in these hundred years?” Yuanwu Immortal King revealed a smile and asked.

It seemed that he had seen through him.

However, the Yuanwu Immortal King of the past didn’t expose Qin Changqing. As an Immortal King, he was indeed extraordinary.

His words stirred the surrounding immortals into activity, and they all turned to look.

The lady in white also turned to glance at them. She hadn’t expected that Qin Changqing was not an immortal at all!

Not yet an immortal, but able to travel the Immortal World and even attend a lecture of an Immortal King – how many could possibly do this?

No wonder Yuanwu Immortal King referred to him as “little friend.”

Although Yuanwu Immortal King appeared quite affable in front of many immortals, being referred to as a “little friend” indicated that he held Qin Changqing in high regard.

Qin Changqing wanted to reply, but his dream consciousness didn’t allow him to do much.

“Little friend, this technique may enhance your awareness temporarily. If you don’t want to disclose your identity, that’s fine. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me,” Yuanwu Immortal King said, casting an Immortal Technique with his finger.

Qin Changqing found that the energy inside could indeed enhance his dream consciousness.

His dream consciousness could not carry any power, otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to reach the Immortal World.
