Above the Great Dao, Mythical Rewards

The city lord's mansion was incredibly luxurious, filled with crystals and jade.

In.

Some were collected by Nalan Yao, while others were gifts from many powerful figures within the Boulder Domain.

These shiny things made Hua Luo pause in surprise.

She stretched out her slender, jade-like hand and gently caressed it.

Chen Ning and the young monk took their seats one after the other.

Nalan Yao sat in the main seat, her gaze fixed on Chen Ning, and said with a light smile, "Young Master Chen's musical realm has already surpassed the realm of Grand Music of the Central Heaven, transcending the Above the Great Dao. In the entire Nebula Continent, only you, Young Master, have reached this level."

"So this level is called the realm Above the Great Dao?"

"That's right. Reaching this level means moving beyond simply mastering the power of the Great Dao to transcending it. This is a transcendent realm and an essential condition for becoming a god."

Upon hearing this...

Chen Ning pondered for a moment.

The earliest attainment of the Great Dao of Music was the realm of "Grand Music of the Central Heaven" in the Immortal Music Palace.

This is the ultimate path.

And just now, we have crossed this highest level.

Currently, Chen Ning has only reached the highest level in the realm of music, and just now he had a sudden realization that allowed him to surpass the Above the Great Dao.

As for the other types of paths...

The Sword Dao, the Great Dao of Frost, the Dao of Earth, the Poison Dao, Great Dao of Flames.

It is far from the highest realm.

Nalan Yao's words also stirred something within Chen Ning.

He then asked, "Is transcending the Great Dao the condition for becoming a god?"

"Yes, but not only that. Becoming a god means mastering the rules, and only by reaching the pinnacle of a certain Above the Great Dao and surpassing it can one touch the rules."

Nalan Yao smiled gently, "But this is only one of the conditions for becoming a god. However, Young Master Chen, don't be discouraged; this is already very strong."

Throughout history, many people have reached the threshold of godhood in their cultivation, but fell just short of the Great Dao realm, ultimately meeting their demise. Such cases are not uncommon.

"The Dao of Musical Harmony is only a minor one among the three thousand great paths, but as far as I know, there is no one else in the entire Nebula Continent who can reach your level in Dao of Musical Harmony."

And what about you?

Chen Ning seemed to be deep in thought, then asked with a smile.

"As for Yao'er, her Dao of Musical Harmony have just reached the level where you, young master, are."

Nalan Yao blinked, gazing at Chen Ning with tender affection.

"Then you still say there's no second one on the Nebula Continent? This second one is already sitting right in front of me."

Chen Ning smiled faintly.

This further demonstrates that the other party is far from simple; however, Chen Ning did not expect her to be so frank.

"Yao'er is not from the Nebula Continent. As for her specific origins, we will tell you in detail after our wedding."

"A grand wedding?"

Chen Ning shook his head and said, "Lord Nalan, I think you've misunderstood. I intervened to help, simply because I didn't like that old man."

"Does the young master find Yao'er's appearance to be mediocre?"

Nalan Yao's eyes shimmered with tears.

Chen Ning said seriously, "No, actually, if the city lord insists on thanking me, I would like to ask the city lord for some information."

"After marrying Yao'er, won't you be able to know any news? Yao'er will surely tell you everything she knows."

Nalan Yao said aggrievedly, "Or is it that you just want to amuse Yao'er, young master? Everyone in Brocade Zither City knows that you came into the manor with me today. Do you want Yao'er to become the laughing stock of Brocade Zither City?"

Chen Ning's heart stirred slightly.

This woman is rather difficult to deal with.

Although she was stunningly beautiful, he was, after all, from a small world, and getting entangled with such a woman might lead to trouble.

Chen Ning decided to simply agree.

I'll leave after getting the information!

"Since that's the case, then I absolutely cannot tarnish the city lord's reputation. Let's choose an auspicious day and get married!"

Chen Ning laughed loudly.

"Excellent! Tomorrow will be the most auspicious day in a thousand years!"

"What? Tomorrow?"

"What? Young master, you're unwilling?"

"Of course I'm willing! Let me rest and get ready, and we'll get married tomorrow!"

Chen Ning reluctantly agreed.

We can just leave tonight!

"Lord Nalan, I wonder if you know..."

Chen Ning was about to ask.

Nalan Yao retorted coquettishly, "Are you still calling me City Lord Nalan?"

"Yao'er..."

"Uh-huh."

"I wonder if Yao'er knows..."

Chen Ning was speechless for a moment. He suddenly realized that he didn't even know the name of the force founded by the First-Generation Sect Master.

How should we inquire about it?

What does my husband want to ask?

Nalan Yao's beautiful eyes sparkled.

Suddenly, Chen Ning had a flash of inspiration and took out a portrait, asking, "Have you seen this person before?"

This portrait is of the First-Generation Sect Master.

In fact, Chen Ning had another bold guess.

This idea only came to me after I learned that Nalan Yao was not from the Nebula Continent.

Is there any possibility?

She is that member!

Really.

After seeing this portrait.

Nalan Yao's beautiful eyes flickered, and she smiled, "My husband also recognizes him?"

Chen Ning's heart skipped a beat.

Nalan Yao indeed knew the First-Generation Sect Master.

This is huge news.

Have you seen him?

"I have seen it."

Where is he now?

Chen Ning asked seriously.

More concerned about the whereabouts of the First-Generation Sect Master than the system's tasks were he at this moment.

Nalan Yao shook her head slightly and said, "I don't know where he is right now either. He just told us to find you!"

Looking for me?

Chen Ning was somewhat confused.

"Yes, the last message he sent us was that he had found you."

"Given you information? You're his subordinates? Who are you referring to as 'you'?"

Chen Ning countered with a question.

Nalan Yao chuckled softly, "Husband, are you sure you want Yao'er to say these things in front of this young master?"

Upon hearing this...

Chen Ning then remembered that the little monk was still beside him.

He sat down without making a sound.

There's really no need to rush; we're already very close to finding the whereabouts of the First-Generation Sect Master.

It doesn't matter when you ask.

What surprised Chen Ning even more was that after Nalan Yao admitted her identity...

A system notification tone sounded.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have completed the first stage of the Mythical-level main quest."

Rewards are being distributed!

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained 2 enhancement attempts [which can be applied to any means mastered by the host]."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the legendary reward [Ambush from Ten Sides] (Sheet Music)"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a minor probability and obtained the mythical reward [Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils]!"

[Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils: Able to see through the flaws and defects of anything and provide solutions. Due to the host's current weak cultivation level, it cannot be used again for three days after use.]

Chen Ning was secretly delighted.

As expected of a mythical-level mission, the rewards are incredibly generous.

At this moment, he possessed only the transcendent realm of the Great Dao of Music, but lacked the means to kill. [Ambush from Ten Sides] came at just the right time.

After unleashing the Great Dao of Music, Chen Ning could use the sounds of all things for his own purposes. At this point, he was no longer limited to any one musical instrument.

Mountains and rivers, wind, Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning are all musical instruments.
