278 Chapter 278 Blackhearted Monster King (2/2)

Even her soul ocean which had not moved for long also slowly expanded.

This soul calming spiritual tune even had the effect of helping one cultivate soul power!

However, that music lasted for just a short moment before a cold scoff came out from the room. A line of words formed in mid-air, ”It's so bad, impulsive! This is your secret technique? If it only has such little charming ability it is disappointing!”

Xuan Yunlan was startled, her fingers going chaotic and the tip instantly cut by the instrument string. Then, she looked at the gate in anger and shock.

She could allow this Zong Shou to humiliate her in exchange for the lives of the ten thousand girls, but she couldn't accept him insulting her sect!

Just as she was about to retort, another line of words formed up, ”I heard that the tune focused on the word calming. You are not calm, so how can you play out a nice tune? You entered the Quiet Cloud Pavilion to experience life and bathe yourself in humanity. The Confucians have a phrase that is said well. When someone goes from heaven to earth, first his heart will be hurt, then his bones and muscles will be tired, his body hungry, and he will be lost. Thus, he will learn how to bear with it and gain many benefits. All the things you experienced today, isn't it just a test from the heavens? If you can't even bear such small things, why are you still cultivating and practicing?”

That Xuan Yunlan was laughing coldly at the start. She had only agreed to play 2 hours of this tune. She didn't promise what effect her tune had. What obligation did she have such that she had to be calm?

The following few sentences were like a giant bell reverberating through her ears, shaking her soul such that waves broke out. Her mood was long unable to calm down. She suddenly had a sort of total comprehension.

That's right. She came to this Quiet Cloud Pavilion as a musician to experience the world, to see how the world changes and how people change.

Then the things she went through today were a test of her heart. Thinking about it, what difference was this young ruler from the many guests that frequent Quiet Cloud Pavilion?

Weren't their people who were unhappy about her and found trouble with her everyday? Even people who had nefarious intentions.

Then why should she bother so much?

Thinking about it this way, her heart instantly calmed down. All of a sudden she seemed to have comprehended a lot. Not only not being angry, but the corner of her lips also broke out into a smile.

Her fingers danced on the instrument, melodies jumping out once more, and as expected it was different from before.

It should have consumed soul power but not only did it not, but it also showed signs of increasing. Her mind seemed to have dust that was swept away, becoming clearer and more transparent.

The current Zong Shou was behind their gate, his mouth opened wide, unable to close.

His whole bunch of random words was just to bluff her to willingly help him play this soul calming spiritual tune.

This silly girl believed him and not only so, but she also properly played the tune. Her heart realm also seemed to have some improvement because of his words.

Zong Shou didn't know if he should regret or should feel fortunate. Anyways this Xuan Yunlan could be said to be a rare talent.

He smiled, lazy to bother about her. That illusionary heart mirror floating in front of him as he entered meditation once more.

This secret legacy soul calming spiritual tune of Qingyin Sect was exceptional. Its recovery of the soul was no less than some rare pills.

The pain in his brain had now totally faded. Zong Shou observed his soul ocean for a while before leaving it alone.

Then, he activated the illusionary heart mirror, but this time he didn't let his heart enter a peaceful realm. Instead, it was a battlefield where killing intent surged. The first to appear was a strong foe from his last life.

The mirror was a grade 7 spiritual artifact which was why it could only replicate grade 7 experts-ascended ancestors and day wandering spirit masters.

Zong Shou set his cultivation as a night wandering realm spirit master, having no true qi.

Then, within this illusion, sword energy charged about and spiritual energy was surging maniacally.

What Zong Shou used now were spiritual techniques. At most he had the help of that one energy sword to face up against the attacks of the day wandering spirit masters such that he won't die too quickly.

...although his martial path was strong, in this life his best achievements was soul power. However, he had no experience in spell battles.

As he used the illusion to practice such fighting methods, it didn't have the time dilation of the game of the last life, but it was still the fastest way to make up for this shortcoming of his.

As for directly choosing a day wandering spirit master, Zong Shou firmly believed that under the strong pressure of a tough opponent, he would be able to swiftly grow.
