The Immortal-Burying Zither and the Immortal-Burying Melody
Seeing that Chen Changqing had agreed, the Old Man Heavenly Question was slightly surprised.
"Oh?"
"You just agreed like that?"
"You didn't even ask who the person I'm sending you to kill is, or what their strength is?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing replied calmly:
"You need to tell me this person's identity, senior, otherwise I won't know who to kill."
As for strength...
At this point, Chen Changqing paused, smiled meaningfully, and added:
"This younger generation doesn't seem to care much."
"Um?"
Upon Old Man Heavenly Question Tianwen glanced at Chen Changqing with a strange look in his eyes, and then said:
"Do you know what kind of being you will face if you truly agree to my request?"
Chen Changqing remained calm and said:
Please enlighten me, senior.
The Old Man Heavenly Question didn't delay any longer and said directly:
This person's name is Qi Miao.
"If he hadn't perished all these years, with his talent and aptitude, he should have already reached the Heavenly Monarch Realm!"
Upon hearing what the Old Man Heavenly Question said, Chen Changqing was taken aback and looked somewhat bewildered.
"Qi Miao?"
"The Heavenly Monarch exists?"
He muttered something in surprise.
Little did anyone expect that the person the Old Man Heavenly Question would be such a being.
Seeing Chen Changqing's expression, the Old Man Heavenly Question smiled and said:
"How?"
"Were you startled? Were you scared?"
When he said this, the Old Man Heavenly Question's tone carried a hint of mockery.
"Afraid?"
Chen Changqing regained his composure and calmly said:
"Senior, the word 'fear' doesn't exist for me!"
"Even if he is the Heavenly Monarch, so what?"
In the end, it was just a whetstone on my path to enlightenment!
While saying this, Chen Changqing was thinking to himself, "If I were to kill a Heavenly Monarch -level being, I wonder how many AFK Points I could get?"
Of course, he also knew that killing the Heavenly Monarch was no easy task.
At least, with his current Spirit Transformation Realm cultivation, he simply couldn't do it.
His uncle, the White-Clad Spear King Bai Wuya, was only at the Half-Step Heavenly Monarch level, yet his strength was already incredibly powerful.
This true Heavenly Monarch must be even more extraordinary!
In Chen Changqing's view, if he wanted to kill Heavenly Monarch, he would need to reach at least the Half-Step Heavenly Monarch.
"Ha ha!"
Upon hearing Chen Changqing's reply, the Old Man Heavenly Question Tianwen burst into laughter again.
Just now, he thought Chen Changqing was frightened after hearing that he was going to kill the Heavenly Monarch.
Little did he know, he had been overthinking things.
"Well, what an arrogant and overconfident brat!"
"I like it!"
"On the path of cultivation, one should have this kind of unwavering, fearless spirit!"
Chen Changqing smiled faintly and said:
"Senior Tianwen."
"This junior can agree to help you kill those Qi Miao."
"However, I cannot guarantee the exact time."
"As you can see, I'm only at the Spirit Transformation Early Stage realm right now."
Upon hearing this, the Old Man Heavenly Question nodded and murmured an "Mmm":
"Of course!"
"You can go and kill this brat when you have the strength in the future."
At this point, the Old Man Heavenly Question paused slightly, then added:
"Of course, I won't lend you any help!"
Having said that, the Old Man Heavenly Question didn't wait for Chen Changqing's reply and casually waved his hand.
Then, two objects suddenly appeared before Chen Changqing.
On the left is a simple and elegant Seven-String Zither.
The body of the instrument resembles neither wood nor jade, exhibiting a warm, dark golden luster.
In addition, patterns of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers are carved on the body of the instrument, subtly resonating with the surrounding starry sky.
The strings on the zither are transparent, appearing as if they were formed from the condensation of Principle.
Simply by hovering there quietly, it gives people a wonderful feeling, as if the aura emanating from the zither has purified their soul.
On the right side is an ancient musical score.
Just as Chen Changqing was curiously observing, the Old Man Heavenly Question calmly explained:
"Changqing."
"This ancient zither is called the Immortal-Burying Zither!"
"It is High-grade Immortal Artifact."
"That musical score is the Immortal-Burying Melody, a complementary Cultivation Method used in conjunction with the Immortal-Burying Zither!"
"Since you promised me you would help me kill that traitor Qi Miao, I'll give you these two items!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing was slightly surprised.
"The Immortal-Burying Zither: The Immortal-Burying Melody?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand lightly, first taking the score of the Immortal-Burying Melody into his hand, and then began to look through it.
In an instant, Chen Changqing felt as if countless mysterious musical notes were playing out invisibly.
But within those musical notes lay an incredibly terrifying murderous intent.
After quickly flipping through it, Chen Changqing closed the Immortal-Burying Melody and sighed to himself:
"As expected of a piece of music that can be used with High-grade Immortal Artifact like the Immortal-Burying Zither."
"This kind of musical score cannot be described as a simple score."
"It is not a supreme offensive Divine Ability that directly points to the origin of the Great Dao!"
"Using sound to transform into blades, using rhythm to ignite calamity."
"As the song ends, the immortals bestow their heads!"
Just as Chen Changqing was sighing with emotion, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind:
[Bite!]
[Found the "Immortal-Burying Melody" Cultivation Method. Should I Idle Cultivation?]
Hearing the system notification, Chen Changqing was not surprised. The reason he picked up the sheet music to look at it was to activate the system's auto-play function.
"AFK!"
Then, Chen Changqing simply chose to leave the game running in the background.
Soon, a small Little Golden Man appeared in his mind.
This Little Golden Man different from the one that demonstrates the Invincible Cultivation Method. Instead, it sits cross-legged on the ground, with an ancient zither placed in front of it.
Then, the Little Golden Man didn't hesitate and began to practice according to the records in the Immortal-Burying Melody.
After finishing his Idle Cultivation, Chen Changqing finally came to his senses, then looked at the Old Man Heavenly Question with gratitude and said:
"Thank you so much for your kind words, senior!"
Having said that, Chen Changqing didn't linger and immediately planned to put away the Immortal-Burying Zither and the Immortal-Burying Melody.
"Um?"
However, when he tried to collect them, he found that he couldn't put the two items into his Heaven-Stepping Ring.
Seeing this, the Old Man Heavenly Question smiled slightly and said:
"Changqing, your spatial artifacts cannot be used within this limited space-time."
"Just take these two items with you when you go out."
"Oh, right..."
At this point, the Old Man Heavenly Question paused, then looked at Chen Changqing with a solemn expression and continued:
"That wicked disciple of mine joined the Heavenly Demon Sect back then."
"Now, I don't know if they are still members of the Heavenly Demon Sect."
"When you have achieved success in your cultivation and gained sufficient strength, you can go to the Heavenly Demon Sect to find him!"
"You must remember this: never reveal this before you have fully matured, or you will surely bring about your own demise!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing nodded slightly, his face resolute, and said:
"Rest assured, senior. I will do my best to fulfill my promise."
"Whether he is Heavenly Monarch or a higher being."
"Give me time, and I will kill this man!"
