Arc 30The Heaven-Cleansing Divine Sound
Chu Xinghe turned Vast Heaven’s Good Voice into a spectacle of open favoritism, then Bai Jingyan’s performance revealed the Heaven-Cleansing Divine Sound and brought enlightenment to listeners across two continents. The show left Chu Xinghe’s cultivation intact and the crowds celebrating, while a pointed-eared man from the Spirit Beast Continent began investigating.
- Ma Liang brought Bai Jingyan to Haotian Tower, where Chu Xinghe ordered Lu Chengqing to announce her as the annual champion before the competition and publicly revealed her connection to Ma Liang.
- The announcement sparked outrage and caused sponsors and contestants to withdraw, but Chu Xinghe recruited replacement performers, including Qu Wan’er, Liu Yingjun, Little Huang, and Hu Chun, whose acts drew huge audiences.
- Viewers competed to send tribute points during Hu Chun’s dance, and Zhang Yongxing’s Yongxing Pastries prospered after refusing a doubled advertising refund.
- Chu Xinghe promised Ma Liang’s cousin the next edition’s championship, then ordered free advertising slots that Lu Chengqing sold through a Tribute Ranking before the tower went silent until the next show.
- Bai Jingyan played Jiangnan Moon at the worldwide broadcast, and Elder He identified her music as the Heaven-Cleansing Divine Sound after listeners across the world entered enlightenment.
- Bai Jingyan played further pieces that helped listeners break through in cultivation, and Chu Xinghe declared her the champion as the Misfortune Compass raised his cultivation limit without deducting his cultivation.
- Ma Liang realized Chu Xinghe had arranged for Bai Jingyan’s divine music to be revealed, and a pointed-eared man emerged from a blue rift beneath Spirit Beast Island to assess the situation.
- Chu Xinghe and Ma Liang walked through a city celebrating Bai Jingyan’s performance, then visited the Fish-Abounding Pavilion, where Shu Fei explained that three dismissed Shadow Rats had lost cultivation after exhausting their spirit stones.
