Fury Towards The Burning Heaven Chapter 1061 - Blowing a Leaf

Chapter 1061: Blowing a Leaf

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Divine Sound Heaven Skill was a kind of mystical ability, not a dao pattern.
There was no way one could search dao patterns out. Neither could people impart dao patterns. The only way that people would be able to realize them was if a heaven-defying expert created a mystic realm for other descendants to enter and realize the dao patterns themselves. This was the quickest way one could realize dao patterns, but there were costs and benefits. The benefit was that more people could make use of it. The cost was that those people’s thinking would become less flexible. They would develop a certain reliance they would never be able to grow out of. They would lose all hopes of becoming a heaven-defying expert.
However, this was not the case with the Divine Sound Heaven Skill. Since it was a mystical ability, anyone who could find a way to realize it. This would help one to improve their offensive skills, which would obviously be helpful in battle. It could help one kill without any form.
Thus, after the Sonar Thearch made a name for himself, countless people tried to learn the Divine Sound Heaven Skill from him. However, the Sonar Thearch only accepted one disciple in all these years. Now, that disciple was an elder in the Chen Clan. He was the second-best in the entire clan, in fact. His skills were comparable to that of a seven-star martial artist.
The Sonar Thearch refused to see guests for a long time as well, much less display the Divine Sound Heaven Skill by playing any sort of music for them. The crowd did not expect such a gift either. This was a huge ground-shaking opportunity. The Sonar Thearch had made it clear—anyone who could realize a thing or two from his playing would be free to enter and leave the Divine Sonar Valley as they pleased. In other words, they would be able to learn from the Sonar Thearch and treat him as their master.
Many people sat on the ground cross-legged. They tried to get rid of every distracting thought from their minds as they focused on getting their bodies in the optimum state to realize the skill. They prepared to focus on the sounds they were about to hear and realize the true skills behind them.
The entire place quieted down at once. Even the female servants knelt down and tried not to make any sounds in order not to interrupt the music. Yin Ruobing and Zhan Tianlei sat down and closed their eyes in meditation. Nobody was so stupid as to let this opportunity go by.
Ding-dong~
There was a clear and crisp sound. This was the sound of the zither. It was soft, and they were not sure where it was coming from. Nevertheless, it sounded clearly in everybody’s ears. After they heard this sound, everybody’s eyes fogged over, including the Demigod Zhan Tianlei and the Clan Head of the Chen Clan. Even Yin Ruobing and Jiang Yi could not help their eyes from clouding over. Only the Elder, who was seated beside the Clan Head of the Chen Clan, remained clear-eyed.
If Jiang Yi came back to reality at this moment, he would be beyond shocked. However, the sounds were causing everyone to partially lose their consciousness. If the Sonar Thearch wanted to kill any of them right now, even the strongest of the martial artists present would fall within seconds!
Cong-cong~
The sound continued to fill the air. At times, it sounded smooth and warm. At other times, it sounded rushed and choppy. There were times when it sounded clear and crisp, but there were also other times when it sounded low and muffled. Everyone was obviously drunk on the music. While many of them wanted to realize a thing or two from the song, all of them failed to even think of anything the moment the Sonar Thearch began playing. They forgot where they were, they forgot that they wanted to realize something… they forgot everything.
The sound of the zither filled the area for several minutes. Apart from that elder from the Chen Clan, nobody was conscious. Even the elder had his eyes half-closed as he enjoyed the music.
Dong~
The zither finally stopped, but everyone remained unconscious. They were still in the world that they entered when the zither started playing. The elder opened his eyes wide and scanned the entire crowd. Finally, his gaze landed on Jiang Yi.
This was because… Jiang Yi was the first to open his eyes.
Although Jiang Yi’s eyes were opened, his expression still looked complicated. He looked extremely lonely and sad. He said nothing but continued sitting still.
The Family Head of the Chen Clan was the second to regain consciousness. He opened his eyes and looked over to the elder. Seeing that the elder was looking at someone else, the Family Head turned to follow the direction of his gaze. On seeing that Jiang Yi’s eyes were opened, a strange expression flickered across his face.
Chen Chen was the third to regain consciousness, but he did not look at anyone. Instead, he picked up the ancient zither in his hand and remained silent.
“Alright!”
Zhan Tianlei was the fourth to regain consciousness. The moment he did, he stood up and bowed toward his right. By doing so, he caused Yin Ruobing and several other people to regain consciousness as well. They all looked slightly strange. To show their appreciation for what the Sonar Thearch had just done, they all stood up and bowed toward the right as well.
“Keke, did anyone manage to realize a thing or two?”
The elder suddenly opened his mouth and stroked his beard. “If anyone realized anything, please feel free to sing something or perform a piece. If the Supreme Teacher is satisfied, you will be allowed to enter and leave the Divine Sonar Valley as and when you please. You will also become the most valuable guest of the Divine Sonar Region.”
Zhan Tianlei and the others looked slightly regretful. Although they had just heard the best song of their entire lives, none of them realized anything. All they knew was that they had been thrown into a mysterious realm upon hearing the song. The song caused them to feel drunk and out of this world. It was almost like they had tasted the best wine on earth.
“I was touched, but I only realized a little thing.”
A clear and gentle voice sounded from the crowd, causing everyone to look over to her. Zhan Tianlei and a few others’ eyes brightened when they saw that it was Yin Ruobing who had spoken. The elder of the Chen Clan smiled slightly and said, “Please tell us, Lady Yin. Otherwise, you can also choose to perform a piece. You can use any instrument that you want.”
Yin Ruobing bitterly smiled and shook her head. “I don’t need to perform. Ruobing is not musically-inclined. I do not want to make a joke out of myself. I will just explain what I realized on hearing the song: Love kills…”
“That’s it?”
Many people were prepared to listen to a long speech, but that was all that Yin Ruobing had to say. Everyone looked confused. Even Zhan Tianlei fell silent.
The elder and the Family Head of the Chen Clan exchanged a meaningful glance. Both of them smiled meekly and said, “Lady Ruobing, you are naturally talented. You’ve already understood the meaning behind this piece. I will make the decision for the Supreme Teacher—Lady Ruobing will be allowed to enter and leave the Divine Sonar Valley freely from now on.”
“Wow!”
Everyone was shocked to hear this announcement. Yin Ruobing had casually said something and actually managed to obtain this huge opportunity. If they had known this would happen, they would surely have said something.
Of course, everybody present at such an occasion had a reputation. It was fine if they really had realized something. However, since they did not, they knew it was not nice to act like they did either. Thus, everyone fell silent once again.
The elder of the Chen Clan scanned the crowd. Suddenly, his gaze fell on Jiang Yi, who had been staring into thin air the entire time. He smiled and said, “This guest has been silent for a long time. Have you realized something?”
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Many people turned to look at him. Upon seeing that he was just a commander behind Tang Ming, they became astonished. The elder had spoken, but Jiang Yi kept staring into thin air as if he had not heard anything. This shocked the crowd all the more.
The elder of the Chen Clan was a seven-star martial artist. Even Zhan Tianlei and Yin Ruobing had to speak respectfully to him. On seeing that Jiang Yi was not responding to the elder, Tang Ming stepped in. He leaned over and whispered, “Yi San, the elder is speaking to you.”
Jiang Yi’s eyes became clear for a second, but loneliness filled them. Jiang Yi closed his eyes and sighed, falling silent once again.
“Uh…”
People were shuffling all around. This commander was acting quite disrespectfully. Even Tang Ming would not have dared to act this way, would he?
Just as everybody was exchanging glances and wondering what was wrong with him, Jiang Yi made a sudden move. He plucked a leaf off of a spirit fruit on the golden table in front of him. With his eyes still closed, he sighed, “Love kills… that was very well-said. Love really can kill…”
Jiang Yi was speaking at a moderate volume, but just like the first note that the Sonar Thearch played, it carried with it a strange power that caused everyone to keep quiet. He held the leaf with both of his hands. Then, he lifted it up to his lips and blew it gently. Everyone heard a gentle sound.
Buzz!
The moment they heard this sound, the eyes of the elder of the Chen Clan brightened a thousand-fold. Chen Chen, who had kept his head bowed down toward the ancient zither this entire time, trembled slightly. His head snapped up as he looked in shock at Jiang Yi.
Di—
Jiang Yi did not care at all that everyone was looking at him. He kept holding on to the leaf and blowing at it. The corners of his both were curled up in a charming smile. It was almost as if he was playing the song for the love of his life.
