Talk About Bragging, How Do You Really Have The Qualifications Of The Great Emperor?

Chapter 93: The Mysterious Crimson Melody Maiden (2700 words)

Sound Lineage.

Among the many branches of the Three Purities Immortal Gate, it holds a very special position.

The disciples of this lineage are not particularly skilled in combat, but rather provide support and enhancement to their teammates through the use of music.

The Sound Lineage has hundreds of volumes of music scriptures, each explaining different aspects of the art of music, each with its own unique uses.

Some can enhance cultivation efficiency by gathering spiritual energy through music.

Some can boost the morale of allies in battle, inspiring them to fight with great determination.

Some can disrupt the mental state of enemies through music, greatly weakening their morale.

Of course, there are also techniques that directly attack and kill enemies by condensing mana into musical blades. However, most disciples of the Sound Lineage do not enjoy fighting and killing.

Moreover, the killing power of using musical blades to attack enemies is much weaker compared to the ultimate techniques of other branches such as the Sword Lineage and the Thunder Lineage.

If one truly desires to be brave and ruthless, it would be more appropriate to join another branch instead of the Sound Lineage.

Therefore, there are relatively fewer disciples who specialize in the art of music attack and killing.

At this moment, the "Clear Cloud Ethereal Melody" being played in the Phoenix Perch Tower is one of the top ten ultimate techniques of the Sound Lineage, and it is highly renowned.

Its status is comparable to the "Heavenly Time Sword Sutra" of the Sword Lineage and the "Seven Step Dragon Slaying Art" of the Thunder Lineage.

The purpose of this musical technique is not for combat, but rather to help people let go of distracting thoughts and enter a state of enlightenment through music.

In this state, comprehending scriptures and practicing spells will be twice as effective.

If the person playing this piece of music has a high level of proficiency in music and the listener has sufficient opportunities, there is even a chance of triggering enlightenment.

Listening to the music for a moment could save ten or even a hundred years of arduous cultivation, making the seemingly impossible possible.

That is why Crimson Melody Maiden, who has achieved a small level of mastery in the "Clear Cloud Ethereal Melody," has such a high reputation in the Phoenix Perch Tower.

Every time she performs, she attracts countless talented individuals from the city.

There are even geniuses from various Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands who spend lavishly, throwing thousands of spirit stones just to see Crimson Melody Maiden smile.

Unfortunately, no matter how much these geniuses try to win her favor, they are unable to gain even a hint of her attention, let alone capture her heart.

They don't even have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of her true appearance beyond the screen.

Yes, currently in Vermilion Bird City, no one has seen the true face of Crimson Melody. "Crimson Melody" is actually her stage name in the Phoenix Perch Tower.

Among the many true disciples of the Sound Lineage in the Three Purities Immortal Gate, no one is known by this name.

At the same time, there is no known true disciple who excels in the "Clear Cloud Ethereal Melody" and has reached the Gold Core stage of cultivation.

In short, this Crimson Melody Maiden of the Phoenix Perch Tower stands out with an air of mystery.

According to Crimson Melody Maiden herself, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and her identity as Crimson Melody is not important.

It is not worth the concern of many fellow Daoists. It is enough to interact with each other through music and the art of sound.

However, if one truly has the fate to meet and understand the profound meaning hidden in Crimson Melody's music, then Crimson Melody Maiden will invite them for a conversation.

After all, it is difficult to find a kindred spirit.

Hmm, this is Crimson Melody Maiden's own statement, relatively reserved and appropriate.

However, in any social circle, goddesses are always the absolute focus, especially "mysterious goddesses," which greatly attract the opposite sex.

The more reserved and mysterious Crimson Melody Maiden is, the more attractive she becomes to the numerous geniuses in Vermilion Bird City.

Many of these geniuses have a twisted mentality: they love what they can't have!

Countless people believe that Crimson Melody Maiden has a noble temperament, like a pure and flawless saintess, just like a high mountain snow lotus.

There are also rumors that Crimson Melody Maiden's appearance is so beautiful that even the most cold-hearted assassins in the world would be intoxicated by it.

There are also rumors that Crimson Melody Maiden is a once-in-a-millennium genius of the Sound Lineage, with an extraordinary status, and will eventually inherit the position of the head of the Sound Lineage.

The most common rumor is that Crimson Melody Maiden once said that her future partner must be someone who understands her music.

She will not marry someone who is not a kindred spirit.

As for whether she actually said this, it doesn't really matter. As the rumors spread, her number of followers continues to grow.

Countless geniuses dream of one day being able to understand Crimson Melody Maiden and the emotions hidden in her music.

They dream of becoming the person who understands Crimson Melody Maiden and winning her heart.

Regarding the rumors about "Crimson Melody," Wang Xiu had heard of them during his time in the Three Purities Immortal Gate.

However, back then, although he was also a true disciple, he was too far away from senior brothers and sisters like Li Zuoyue and Crimson Melody, so he didn't pay much attention to them.

Now, in the Phoenix Perch Tower, he heard Crimson Melody play the "Clear Cloud Ethereal Melody" for the first time, and even as someone who has lived two lives, Wang Xiu couldn't help but admire the heavenly sound of this piece.

The crisp sound of the strings seemed to pluck at the heartstrings of the listeners.

The sound of the qin irresistibly draws one's thoughts, causing them to forget their worries, forget the mundane world, and forget everything around them.

Immersed in the profound and mysterious sound of the qin, it is difficult to extricate oneself.

Gradually.

The qin music reaches its peak, and even the previously noisy Phoenix Perch Tower gradually quiets down. It seems that everyone instinctively holds their breath, not wanting to disturb such a divine sound.

This qin music is truly marvelous.

Its rhythm is elegant, like flowing water in the mountains, like gentle clouds in the breeze, and like a clear spring in the mountains, cleansing the heart.

Suddenly, the qin music becomes lively.

In the melody, countless birds seem to be singing, completely blending the most beautiful natural sounds into the music. It is not chaotic at all, but rather perfectly balanced and exquisite.

Listening to this qin piece, countless smiles unconsciously appear on the faces of the guests in Phoenix Perch Tower. It seems that they have forgotten everything around them and completely immersed themselves in the beautiful melody.

Even outside the window, numerous birds have landed on the eaves, displaying various colors.

They all fold their wings and turn their heads towards the loft where Crimson Melody Maiden is, as if they understand the music and stop to listen, captivated and intoxicated.

For a long time.

The music ends.

Countless people take a deep breath, feeling a sense of emptiness in their hearts, adding a feeling of melancholy and loss. They can't help but wish they could continue to immerse themselves in listening.

"The qin of Crimson Melody Maiden is truly a divine sound that is rarely heard in the mortal world."

Li Zuoyue sighs, "The flowing water in the mountains, the ethereal clouds, she is able to incorporate the charm of our sect's beautiful scenery into the music, harmoniously and perfectly."

"Even to the point where the qin music can attract countless birds to stop and listen, her accomplishments in the realm of music have reached a state of transformation."

"With time, she may have the opportunity to comprehend the 'Clear Cloud Ethereal Melody' to its fullest and become a master of her generation."

Li Longhao also nods, "Indeed, it sounds amazing."

"Listening to the qin music of Crimson Melody Maiden, my thoughts of harming others have diminished. I wonder what her true identity is and which senior sister of the Sound Lineage she is."

Li Longyou says, "After half a year, hearing Crimson Melody Maiden's qin music again still captivates and intoxicates me."

Li Longyou says, "Second brother, what do you think? Second brother? Second brother?"

Li Longji: (～﹃～)~zZ

Well...

As expected, this guy fell asleep while listening to the music.

So peaceful...

...

Feeling the admiration and longing for Crimson Melody Maiden in the words of the Li brothers, Wang Xiu can't help but laugh and cry. It has always been said that heroes are vulnerable to the charms of beautiful women. Even a fearless swordsman must become gentle in front of a beautiful woman.

Unfortunately.

As someone who has lived two lives, Wang Xiu is well aware that idols like Crimson Melody, who are adored by thousands, often have the most attractive surface veil.

If their true selves were exposed, they might not have such charm, and their image might even collapse, shocking countless people.

Of course.

Everyone in Phoenix Perch Tower is a fan of Crimson Melody, and these few are probably no exception. Naturally, Wang Xiu chooses to say what sounds good.

He sighs, "The qin music of Crimson Melody Maiden is truly stunning, worthy of being called divine."

"It broadens one's horizons and makes one unable to help but be captivated and intoxicated."

Seemingly thinking of something, Wang Xiu's eyes slightly shift towards Huang Yunchong and he says, "Senior Brother Huang is the number one handsome man of the Bedroom Lineage, captivating thousands of young girls in our sect."

"He often goes down the mountain to listen to music and experience the mortal world in Vermilion Bird City. He must know all the secrets of this city."

"I guess..."

"The true identity of Crimson Melody Maiden definitely can't escape Senior Brother Huang."

"Right, Senior Brother?"

Huang Yunchong: (_?)

I do often go down the mountain to listen to music, but the place where I listen to music is not a proper restaurant like this!

If you were to ask me which girl in Vermilion Bird City's brothels is the most alluring, I could talk about it for three days and three nights.

But you're asking me about Crimson Melody's identity?

Who knows which senior sister of the Sound Lineage this Crimson Melody Maiden is?

...

Huang Yunchong instinctively wants to say, "Who knows who she is?"

But.

His junior brother called him the number one handsome man of the Bedroom Lineage, the knowledgeable person in the mortal world~

If I were to say that I can't guess Crimson Melody's identity, wouldn't that be too embarrassing? How will my junior brother look at me in the future?

A big fool who knows nothing?

Rarely does someone admire me, how can I let my image collapse?

Facing Wang Xiu's "admiration" and "expectation," Huang Yunchong's face turns slightly red.

In the end.

He chooses to put on a brave face and pretend to know.

"This... this, I naturally know the true identity of Crimson Melody Maiden."

PS: This chapter is a bit filler, and I'm not feeling well. I only managed to write one chapter.

The second chapter might be delayed, so everyone should go to sleep first. When you wake up tomorrow morning, you should be able to read it.
