Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, second-floor private room.

The sea breeze outside the window caressed my face, and the room was filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees.

The musician Qing'er sat on the stage, her fingertips gently plucking the strings of her instrument. The music was softer than usual, like a stream under the moonlight.

Lu Qingshan sat by the window, holding a glass of fine wine in his hand, his gaze fixed on the pale purple figure, his expression leisurely.

Luo Feng sat opposite him, dressed in a silver-gray outfit common in the Jin World. If one did not know him well, it would be difficult to associate this composed young man with the Galaxy Lord stirred up the Universe Ocean.

"Teacher, your method is quite unique." After playing the piece, Luo Feng put down his wine cup and smiled. "Using music to cultivate the mind, combined with the Six Desires Heart-Tempering Technique, is indeed more effective than those tedious methods of willpower training. I never imagined that the principles of music could be used to cultivate willpower."

" Qing'er's musical skills are indeed quite good," Lu Qingshan said calmly. "However, it's really hard to find such a lineage in the Universe Ocean. There are a few similar secret techniques in the Duan Donghe Inheritance, but unfortunately they are too obscure, and few people would bother to study them."

"The transmission of music theory is indeed too niche; it's rarely seen even in the Jin World."

Luo Feng nodded. The Jin World was less of a world and more of an arsenal for the Jin Kingdom... It trained powerful warriors for the Jin Kingdom. Once they became Eternal True God, they would be conscripted by the Jin Kingdom. Sometimes, other soldiers would also need to go out on missions. Naturally, this world was quite different from other casual worlds. Music theory inheritance was not good at warfare, so it was rarely seen here.

"Hmm." Lu Qingshan nodded slightly and asked, "What have you gained from comprehending the Eternal Divine Blood all these years?"

Over the years, Luo Feng has been in seclusion, comprehending the Eternal Divine Blood within the Cultivation Space of the Tomb Ship. Although it seems like only a short time has passed, countless epochs have actually gone by.

Luo Feng picked up the wine jug, poured a cup of fine wine for his teacher, and said, "My talent is incomparable to yours, teacher. I have indeed made some progress in my research on that drop of Eternal True God's essence blood over the years, but progress has been very slow. The life essence within that drop of Eternal God's blood is too complex. Each analysis is like navigating a maze, requiring repeated deductions to advance even a single step. Therefore, I intend to use the creative talent of my Blood Sea Clone to try creating some life myself, perhaps finding a breakthrough through practice." Lu Qingshan nodded slightly. "This approach is correct. At your stage in the Divine Power Flow School, relying on analyzing materials is unlikely to yield significant breakthroughs. That drop of divine blood serves as a reference, preventing you from going astray. Creating life is the right path for the next step. Your Blood Sea Clone itself possesses the talent to create life; using this as a foundation should make your attempts much smoother than others."

"That's what I think too," Luo Feng nodded. "However, since we lack experience, we'll need to consult our teacher if we encounter any difficulties."

"Anytime is fine."

Lu Qingshan raised his wine glass and smiled slightly.

"You are very talented, and your future achievements will surely be extraordinary. I am just giving you a head start."

He paused, his gaze falling on the deep blue sea outside the window, as if deep in thought.

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and said casually, "In a few days, I have an opportunity for you."

Luo Feng was slightly taken aback. "What opportunity?"

"I won't say for now," Lu Qingshan shook his head. "You'll find out when the time comes. That place should be very helpful to you; it won't disappoint you."

Luo Feng took a deep breath.

At his level, ordinary opportunities are of little use.

Besides, he had already obtained the Duan Donghe Inheritance and the inheritance of the Jin World, so he wouldn't care about ordinary inheritances. However, his teacher said that it would be helpful to him. Luo Feng naturally believed his teacher's words.

If the teacher says that, then it must be a very important opportunity.

Luo Feng didn't press further, simply nodding and replying, "Disciple has remembered."

At that moment, Qing'er stood up from the stage, straightened her clothes slightly, and walked with Mo Yu to Lu Qingshan's table, each holding a glass of wine and smiling.

" Mr. Han, Mr. Galaxy, thank you both for gracing me with your presence. Qing'er would like to offer you a toast." Her voice remained gentle, like moonlight falling on water, softly brushing against one's eardrums.

Mo Yu also raised his cup slightly, looking at the two of them with a smile.

Their politeness naturally stemmed from Mr. Han's strength; back at the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, Mr. Han had defeated a vice leader of the Deep Sea Alliance.

The fact that the Deep Sea Alliance has remained inactive for years further underscores how formidable Mr. Han is.

As for the young man named Galaxy, it was their first time here, so they didn't know him. But being able to dine with Mr. Han, he was clearly no ordinary person.

You're too kind!

Lu Qingshan picked up the wine glass in front of him, swirled it in the air, and then drank it all in one gulp. As he put the glass down, he casually took a cloth bag from his waist and placed it on the table.

"This is a reward for musician Qing'er." Qing'er was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise in her eyes as she looked at the bag, before she smiled gently, " Mr. Han's reward is too generous; Qing'er feels unworthy of it."

"Keep it." Lu Qingshan waved his hand. "Over the years, I've indeed gained some insights from listening to you play."

Qing'er, the musician, did not refuse again. She bowed slightly in thanks, picked up the cloth bag on the table, and turned to leave with Mo Yu.

Although it was just a casual tip from Mr. Han, it was a considerable sum of money for her. Every time she came to the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion to play music, she received an performance fee, but she would occasionally receive tips from customers. These tips did not need to be shared with the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion and could be considered as her extra income...

Of course, musicians trained by the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion themselves wouldn't receive such good treatment.

Lu Qingshan and Luo Feng continued drinking and talking. After a while, Qing'er, the musician, who had changed her clothes, went on stage again.

A moment later...

The sound of the zither rose again, as if moonlight were shining on the sea.

Deep Sea Alliance Headquarters.

In the luxurious council hall, the Deep Sea Alliance sat on the main seat, with a light screen floating in front of him, reflecting the tranquil sea view outside the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.

On either side of him sat three vice-leaders, each with a different expression. They were the strongest fighting force of the Deep Sea Alliance, four Void True God. The Deep Sea Alliance leader spoke first.

"Over the years, I entrusted a friend who is a commander in the Western Army to use their military registry indexing privileges. The results showed that there was no record of soldier Han Li. His divine power aura was not in the military records, nor in any known military files."

"So, that guy doesn't have a military background at all?"

The vice leader, whose son had died, suddenly raised his head, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, his fleshy face trembling slightly.

"My commander friend assured me that he definitely didn't come from the military." The alliance leader nodded. "He has a high level of authority in the Western Army, so there's absolutely no problem. He also knows the disciples of the other generals, and that guy named Han Li isn't among them."

"They're not from the military, yet they dare to Rampaging on our Deep Sea Alliance's territory, even killing Vice Alliance Leader Xian Tuo's son and seizing the Mechanical Flow Treasure. This is no longer just a grudge; it's a provocation against our entire alliance."

A clear, cold voice rang out; it belonged to a female Void True God, who wore black Mechanical Flow armor and whose eyes flashed with a chilling glint.

The Deep Sea Alliance nodded. "If this person truly had a powerful background, we could excuse ourselves. But now that we've confirmed he has no background, we naturally can't let him go. He's just a True God; he thinks he can challenge Void True God just because he's obtained some inheritance and treasures."

"Ridiculous." Another vice leader sneered, "Even the strongest True God is still just True God. So what if he can unleash a Void Level attack? He won't last more than a few moves before he's exhausted. Last time, he forced Vice Leader Xian Tuo back only because the Vice Leader didn't use his full strength."

The deputy leader of the Xian Tuo Alliance had a gloomy expression, but did not refute it.

Last time, he did choose to retreat before figuring out the other party's strengths and weaknesses, which was not wrong in itself. But now, thinking about it, he finds that young man even more hateful.

"No need for probing this time." The Deep Sea Alliance stood up, his gaze sweeping over the others. "This time, two Void True God will go. One will be responsible for Space Lock the void, and the other for a direct attack. They must capture him on the spot. If there is any resistance, kill him instantly. Also, the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion and that Han Li are so close; they've probably already been communicating. Let's eliminate them as well." "I'll go." The woman in the black Mechanical Flow battle suit slowly rose. "I've been in seclusion for so long; I need to stretch my muscles. I'll take this opportunity to see just how capable this True God, who can unleash the power of Void True God, really is."

The deputy leader of the alliance, Xian Tuo, who had lost his son, slowly stood up, clenching his fists. " Jin You, you just need to assist from the side. I will personally take his head."

"Fine, if you can't take him down, don't blame me for stepping in!"

The woman said coldly.

"How is that possible? I didn't even use my full strength last time. He definitely can't escape this time!"

Xian Tuo.

Soon, the two figures transformed into Flowing Light and rushed out of the main hall, heading towards the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.

Over the years, while investigating Han Li's identity, they have also kept track of his whereabouts.

As the largest power in this sea area, the Deep Sea Alliance has countless informants, making it extremely easy for them to do this.

Inside the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.

The song ended once again.

Lu Qingshan opened his eyes, his expression once again filled with nostalgia. Clearly, the reward he had just given had worked. This time, the musician Qing'er had put in a lot of effort, seemingly using some special techniques. Combined with the Six Desires Heart-Tempering Technique, Lu Qingshan felt his willpower had even improved. Luo Feng, standing beside him, also opened his eyes, picked up his wine cup, took a sip, and a hint of wistfulness flashed in his eyes.

He clearly gained something from it as well.

Mo Yu, who was standing not far away, watched the two of them and his lips twitched slightly.

If it were before, she would have thought that these two had ordinary willpower, which was why they couldn't resist the allure of the music. But after seeing Mr. Han fight against the Void True God, she knew that Mr. Han had an extremely strong willpower and was most likely at the Void True God level.

This is probably just an act.

The quirks of the strong... are truly peculiar...

Lu Qingshan picked up his wine glass, drank half of it in one gulp, and then suddenly looked up at the window.

Luo Feng also looked out the window.

"Teacher..."

He said it in a low voice.

"Two small fry have arrived, let's get rid of them!"

Lu Qingshan said with a smile, "Since Master is unwilling to take action, then leave it to your disciple."

Luo Feng stood up, six pairs of wings flashing behind him!
