The song came to an end.
Silence fell all around.
Many Dao Heirs were lost in longing for and memories of such feelings, especially the women among them.
At the same time, many Dao Heirs quietly pondered something.
Everything was lovely, apart from the clang of swords, the splatter of blood, and the sound of arms and heads being severed not far away. Those were a little harsh on the ears.
But once a Dao Heir cast a spell to block out those sounds, the place fell completely quiet.
"This piece sounds as though it was born of nature itself. It's captivating."
A cool, reserved female cultivator said evenly, "If this passage were altered a little, it might sound even better. What do you think, little sister Daoling?"
She waited for an answer.
Jiang Ding's gaze settled briefly on the reserved cultivator.
She was a woman who held the light of stars within her. The faint image of the seven stars of the Big Dipper flickered in her pupils, and she radiated a heavy, icy pressure.
The Big Dipper Dao Heir, Liu Qianhua.
She came from the Big Dipper Starfield. Her current circumstances did not seem good, though nothing about her betrayed it.
"Sister Qianhua is right!"
Shi Daoling's eyes lit up.
After she made the suggested changes, the sound of "Nine Heavens" rose to another level. It became even more moving, giving its listeners a more beautiful experience.
"The emotions are too pure. That limits the piece too much. It's nothing but an attempt to appear refined."
An alluring female cultivator spoke at an unhurried pace.
She dismissed the piece as worthless.
And she did more than dismiss it. She revised the music on the spot, made a few changes to "Nine Heavens," and presented her version to everyone.
