2301 The Third Music Score

Pfft.

The man chuckled. “Yi Ling has been dead for tens of thousands of years. What’s the use of mentioning him again? Besides, didn’t you not even protect him back then? Why do you have to do such a useless thing now?”

Dugu Mobao’s hands on his knees slowly tightened. His jaw was tense, and his eyes seemed to be covered in a layer of frost.

After a long time, he said, “In comparison, what you did was useless, right? Do you think that by nourishing it with the bloodline and essence of the red-gold heavenly phoenix race, you can make Fantasy Divine Hall’s bright lamp burn for a long time? If it’s not yours, you shouldn’t have delusions from the beginning!”

The voice fell silent for a long time before saying, “Whether it’s mine or not, you’ll know eventually.”

…

Recently, the atmosphere in Fantasy Divine Hall had been very unusual.

Nan Jinshu paced back and forth in the room with a conflicted expression.

He had been in Fantasy Divine Hall for a long time, but apart from seeing the Seventh Deity at the Heaven Gate at the beginning, he hadn’t seen any of the other deities. Moreover, even the Seventh Deity had only told him to cultivate here and hadn’t come again.

Nan Jinshu was a little anxious. He felt that his efficiency was a little slow.

If he didn’t think of a way, it would probably be extremely difficult to reach the heavens and break through to the Deity Realm.

After hesitating for a long time, Nan Jinshu finally calmed down and walked out of the door.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the courtyard, he saw a familiar figure. “Jun Jiuqing?”

Hearing the voice, Jun Jiuqing turned his head and looked over.

Nan Jinshu quickly stepped forward but changed the way he addressed him. “Family Head, what are you going to do?”

Jun Jiuqing’s lips curled up into a slightly heretical smile. “What else can I do in Fantasy Divine Hall?”

For a moment, Nan Jinshu didn’t know how to answer. He paused for a moment before continuing, “Has the family head seen the First Deity during this period of time?”

Jun Jiuqing shook his head and narrowed his eyes. “I heard that the First Deity has been in seclusion for many years and hasn’t come out for a long time. Even when the various deities ask to see him, they are repeatedly rejected. What, does the family head want to see the First Deity?”

Nan Jinshu nodded. After hearing Jun Jiuqing’s words, he was in a difficult position.

“If that’s the case, then it’s probably very rare to see the First Deity.”

“Many matters of Fantasy Divine Hall are now in the hands of the Second Deity. If the family head has anything to say, just ask the Second Deity. Why do you have to see the First Deity?”

“Well…” Nan Jinshu looked hesitant.

He looked around to make sure that there was no one around. Then, he took another step forward and lowered his voice. “To be honest, Master Yi, I want to go to the Fantasy Divine Sea.”

Jun Jiuqing’s expression changed slightly, and a cold light quickly flashed across his eyes. “Oh?”

Nan Jinshu didn’t want to say so much to Jun Jiuqing. After all, after experiencing the things at Peach Blossom Dock, the relationship between the two families had become very delicate.

But to be honest, he and Jun Jiuqing were both latecomers. They had little to do with the previous matters. Moreover, Fantasy Divine Palace’s Heaven Gate had already opened, and the two of them had entered Fantasy Divine Hall; they should’ve joined forces.

After thinking about it, Nan Jinshu still told Jun Jiuqing his thoughts. “…Previously, I planned to go to the lightning pool to cultivate and improve my cultivation level. But now that the lightning pool has been sealed and I don’t know when it will open again, I don’t think I can count on it. I thought that perhaps going to the Fantasy Divine Sea was a good choice. However, the Fantasy Divine Sea has always been controlled by the First Deity. If I want to enter, I have to get the approval of the First Deity, so…”

Jun Jiuqing raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile, “Family Head, the Fantasy Divine Sea isn’t an ordinary place. It’s almost unimaginably dangerous. Are you sure… you want to go?”

Nan Jinshu also smiled with a meaningful expression. “That’s right. The Fantasy Divine Sea is indeed extremely dangerous to ordinary people, but it’s different for you and me… Family Head, there are some things that I don’t need to remind you about, right?”

If he wasn’t prepared, how could he have such thoughts?

Jun Jiuqing nodded. “So, the family head has made up his mind?”

Nan Jinshu simply nodded his head and admitted it. “Why don’t you go with me?”

Jun Jiuqing’s thin lips curled up slightly. “There’s no need. I don’t have such plans for the time being.”

Nan Jinshu was stunned, and his expression became a little complicated.

Jun Jiuqing’s talent and strength were above his. Even without using any other methods, he would definitely be able to successfully ascend to the heavens and break through to the Deity Realm in the future.

He was very indignant, but such things often didn’t make sense.

Nan Jinshu suppressed his emotions and said, “In that case, I won’t disturb you anymore. However, please don’t tell anyone about what happened today, Family Head.”

“Of course.” As Jun Jiuqing spoke, he pointed in a certain direction. “That should be the courtyard where the First Deity is. Nan Family Head can ask, but the First Deity hasn’t appeared for years. Nan Family Head, you should be prepared to be rejected.”

Nan Jinshu smiled, as if he didn’t care. “I know that.”

Jun Jiuqing had originally planned to leave, but hearing the other man’s relaxed tone as if he were very confident, he couldn’t help but look at him again.”Family Head, you seem… very sure that the First Deity will let you go to the Fantasy Divine Sea?”

Nan Jinshu’s glabella twitched, and he laughed. “How could I have that ability?! I just want to give it a try. Family Head, I’ll take my leave now.”

Jun Jiuqing didn’t continue asking and responded with a slight smile. “Then, I’ll wish the family head all the best first.”

Nan Jinshu left quickly.

Jun Jiuqing stared at his back for a long time and stroked his chin thoughtfully.

He didn’t interact much with Nan Jinshu, but he knew the latter a little.

Limited talent and insufficient ability. If not for the fact that most of the capable people in the Nan family had died, he wouldn’t have been the family head.

If one had to talk about his strengths… He was just a little more active than ordinary people and knew how to time things well. This was also an important reason why he could successfully rise to the top.

Nan Jinshu was usually quite cautious in doing things. Without enough confidence, he would never take action.

This time, it was a little abnormal.

Having been in Fantasy Divine Hall for so long, it was impossible for Nan Jinshu not to know what was going on with the First Deity, but he still insisted on going. Thus, he must have some trump card.

“Interesting…” Jun Jiuqing muttered and finally chose to follow silently.

…

Nan Jinshu arrived at the First Deity’s courtyard smoothly.

The door was tightly shut, and it was cold and lonely. Those who didn’t know better would think that no one had been here for many years.

Nan Jinshu bowed. “First Deity, Nan Jinshu from the Nan family requests an audience.”

No one answered.

Nan Jinshu waited for a while and thought to himself that this person was indeed very rare. Then, he took another half-step forward and said, “First Deity, I heard that Fantasy Divine Hall has been looking for the third music score all these years?”
