“However, you’re currently still affected by the ‘Dream-shattering Song’. The effect will dissipate after some time.”
Chen Xinglan’s words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his happiness.
“But you can take advantage of this opportunity to truly sense the Divine Sense. This will make your own breakthrough much easier next time.”
“Can’t I download the ‘Dream-shattering Song’ online and listen to it every day, so as to always be under the effect of Divine Sense cultivation?”
Chen Mobai thought he had a brilliant idea and was full of hope.
“You’re thinking too much. The ‘Dream-shattering Song’ is not just music, but is an Auxiliary Cultivation Technique passed down by the immortals, which evolved from the ‘Shocking God Sonata’. It only has such effect when you listen in person and the performer puts in all their heart and mind.”
Chen Baolan shook his head. Chen Mobai’s idea was not the first of its kind.
“What is the ‘Shocking God Sonata’?”
Chen Mobai asked again.
“It’s the number one Auxiliary Cultivation Technique of the immortals. After listening to this sonata, a high-level cultivator in the late Nascent Soul Realm can experience the realm of Divinity Transformation. However, it’s a pity that no cultivator has mastered it for two thousand years. Bian Yiqing is the Sound Dao Master who is the closest to mastering the ‘Shocking God Sonata’, but his Spiritual Root is inferior and shackled by his cultivation level, he can only master the ‘Dream-shattering Song’.”
After hearing Chen Baolan’s explanation, Chen Mobai gasped sharply.
“If that’s the case, why not use the Immortal Technique – Mending the Heaven to transform Bian Yiqing’s Spiritual Root to the Immortal Spirit Root? A great master who has mastered the ‘Shocking God Sonata’ would be priceless. Perhaps he could even add a few more Divinity Transformation elders to our immortal sect.”
Chen Mobai thought of something that the higher-ups in the immortal sect must have also thought about.
“The Immortal Technique – Mending the Heaven can only be cast by the Divinity Transformation elders, and both elders have been in retreat for more than three hundred years.”
Upon hearing Chen Baolan’s words, Chen Mobai understood.
Bian Yiqing is a Sound Dao Genius who appeared in the last fifty years. But compared to Divinity Transformation elders who live for thousands of years, he is too insignificant.
The three great halls and the four Daoist academies of the Immortals would not disturb the two elders in retreat for such a trivial matter.
“However, it’s said that Meng Huang and Jiang Yuyuan have extraordinary Spirit Root Aptitudes. Their talents in Sound Dao are not inferior to Bian Yiqing, they are Real Path Seeds found by exploring thirty-six heavenly caves and seventy-two blessed lands.”
“If the two of them can reach the Nascent Soul Realm, the ‘Shocking God Sonata’ passed down by the Immortals can be played again.”
“Presumably, the high-ranked people in Immortals are waiting for them to grow, which is why they have Bian Yiqing and the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe conduct national tours. While enlightening the national cultivators, they also accumulate good fortunes and merits, hoping that one of the two can reach the Nascent Soul Realm in the future.”
Having spent years with the examination team of the Spiritual Pivot Academy, Chen Baolan, who knew more than Chen Xinglan and others, always followed the professors who were also members of the three great halls of the Immortals.
“Enlightening the national cultivators?”
Chen Mobai was puzzled looking at Chen Baolan.
“Why do you think the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe goes on such exhausting national tours and even holds twenty performances in each heavenly cave and blessed land? Surely you don’t think it’s just for earning Good Deed Points?” Chen Baolan asked in return. Chen Mobai nodded subconsciously, wasn’t it?
“The senior management of the Immortals thinks bigger. Just think about it; if Bian Yiqing’s ‘Dream-shattering Song’ can help you grasp the Divine Sense, which normally requires finishing Qi Cultivation, why would they keep it to themselves? With such a benefit, they naturally would make it available to everyone.”
“Since becoming famous thirty years ago, Bian Yiqing was arranged by the Immortals to go on a national tour. Thanks to his hard work, most cultivators with talent in Qi Cultivation got enlightened on Divine Sense by the Immortals.”
“Otherwise, why do you think an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator like Bian Yiqing can be a lecturer in the Dance Tool Dao Academy and is respected by everyone? It’s because the current batch of mid-level Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Immortals were enlightened by his ‘Dream-shattering Song’ during his eight-year national tour.”
“If you succeed in establishing your foundation in the future, you should show respect as a disciple when you encounter the Bian family.”
After hearing Chen Baolan’s explanation, Chen Mobai held a profound respect for Bian Yiqing, the opera grand master.
Although it was promoted by the Immortal Door, the fact that Bian Yiqing had travelled through thirty-six celestial caves and seventy-two blessed lands for eight years to enlighten the Qi cultivation seeds of his parents’ generation from thirty years ago, his great virtue and benevolence was worthy of being called a saint in the world.
“So then, Meng Huang and Jiang Yuyuan are also following the path of the Bian family, enlightening our generation of Immortal Door beings.”
Chen Mobai thought of this and initially did not understand his younger sister Wang Xinying’s passion for stargazing. Now, after some consideration, he realized that his own understanding was rather limiting.
“Their cultivation is still somewhat shallow, but under the guidance of the Bian family they will eventually become sophisticated. Last year, both of them were admitted to the Dance Tool Dao Academy and they are currently studying and performing at the same time while cultivating. We hope that one of them will be able to master the Shocking God Sonata in the future.”
However, when Chen Baolan said this, he didn’t sound very confident.
Indeed, the Nascent Soul Realm is exceedingly difficult to reach.
Even for someone with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, the possibility is only one percent.
Despite their exceptional Spiritual Roots, the support of the Immortal Door, the personal guidance of a grand master like Bian Yiqing, and their entry into the Dance Tool Dao Academy, the chances of Meng Huang and Jiang Yuyuan reaching the Nascent Soul Realm are bleak, as per the calculations of the Astral Observation Academy.
If it were not for several masters at the Nascent Soul Realm being extremely eager for the Shocking God Sonata, the Immortal Door might not have invested such a significant amount of resources into them.
Of course, Chen Baolan didn’t tell Chen Mobai about these, as he did not want to discourage his grand-nephew’s enthusiasm for cultivation.
If Chen Mobai knew that the chances of the two from the Jade Phoenix Theater Troupe achieving the Nascent Soul Realm were slim, wouldn’t that mean his own path, with his ordinary True Spirit Root, seems even more desolate in comparison?
[If only one day I could listen to Meng Huang sing for me every day.]
However, Chen Baolan never suspected that this was what his grandnephew was thinking. If he knew about Chen Mobai’s wish, he would definitely roll his eyes.
Even the three hall masters of the Immortal Door might not have such a luxury.
Chen Mobai knew that his thoughts were a little unrealistic, but he was still a teenager. Although his will to cultivate was unwavering, some worldly desires hadn’t yet dissipated with the accumulation of years and the rise in his cultivation realm.
Perhaps when he is old and grey, looking back on his thoughts today, he would laugh at his own youthful fantasies.
“Let’s go, we got the rare chance today to hear Bian Master’s Dream-shattering Song, let’s celebrate.”
Just then, Chen Xinglan had already called Chen Baolan and Wang Jianyuan to have a few more drinks. Chen Baolan gladly agreed. Wang Jianyuan shook his head, indicating his daughter who had fallen asleep on his back.
“You guys go ahead, I’ll bring Xinying back to rest.”
Wang Xinying was only at the fourth level of Qi cultivation, although she also experienced something through the Dream-shattering Song, she definitely did not grasp Divine Sense, but benefits were not small. After a good night’s sleep, the realm that was forcefully broken through by taking elixirs might just stabilize.
Chen Mobai helped call a taxi and sent his uncle’s family on their way.
Before leaving, Chen Yulan gave the prepared gift to Chen Xinglan.
“Big brother, this is a little token of appreciation from Jianyuan and me for breaking through to the ninth level of Qi cultivation. He may not sound nice to you, but he’s truly happy for you.”
“Let’s go, what’s with all the talking!”
Wang Jianyuan felt a bit embarrassed, carrying his daughter and closing the front door of the car..
