Spell name: Water Dragon's Chant Basic attribute: Ultimate composite spell Spell category: Advanced divine art Affiliation: Four Seas Dragon Clan Brief description: A divine melody passed down through generations of the divine dragon clan. Played through the divine artifact, the Jade Flute "Divine Snow," it aligns the five tones with the Five Phases: gong with earth, shang with metal, jue with wood, zhi with fire, and yu with water, weaving them into a singular divine art. This art can summon wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, cow all ghosts and evil spirits, and command every beast beneath heaven. Spell weaknesses: First, it demands considerable musical attainment from the caster-at minimum, mastery of one instrument and the ability to read gongche notation; second, it demands an instrument of exceptional quality-in fact, any instrument capable of playing Water Dragon's Chant is a divine artifact; third, it demands magical power of exceptional quality from the caster-the divine melody "Water Dragon's Chant" abounds in pitches beyond the range of ordinary hearing, and without superior magical power to sustain them, most of its notes cannot be played at all; fourth, it demands exceptionally profound magical cultivation from the caster-without deep reserves of magical power, it is impossible to perform this peerless divine melody in full, and the caster may even suffer its backlash.

Thus, there has never been any such thing as "practicing" the divine melody "Water Dragon's Chant." Across countless millennia, every performance could be called "without precedent or successor." At least, that remained true thus far.

Recorded appearance: In Chapter 25 of Volume Two, "A Sword Sharpened for Ten Years," the young Zhang Xingyan, long endowed with a spiritual root, finally performed this wondrous, peerless melody in full by drawing upon Great Splendor Dao Power, aided by that strange horseshoe-shaped stone.
