The Plainest Expression: It Sounds Good
A large number of younger disciples flooded into the arena.
Their number far exceeds the number of lotus pedestals.
Even at this time, the six major sects still enjoy unique treatment.
Each of the top powers controls one-tenth of the territory.
The remaining 40% will be contested by numerous forces and Rogue Cultivator.
The reason for the competition is very simple.
Only on the lotus platform can one obtain the greatest benefits.
Outside the lotus platform, although the spiritual energy was also abundant, it was still far inferior.
"I am of a higher generation than any of you, so this lotus throne belongs to me. Do you have any objections?"
"We're all from the same sect, so we should know how to be courteous to each other. What? Why did I sit down first? Didn't I tell you to be courteous to each other?" a young man said seriously.
Another youth, brimming with confidence, declared, "I don't care, I'm taking this lotus throne. If you have any objections, I'll go back and complain to the elders."
"Damn it, senior brother, have you no shame? You're a complete idiot when it comes to music, can you please stop... cough cough, senior brother, I wasn't talking about you earlier, don't take offense." The boy swallowed and glanced at the long stick beside his neck.
Each side presents its own unique scene.
It was a lively scene.
The Five Symbols Sect, on the contrary, is a breath of fresh air.
"Let the strongest musicians go first, taking turns, so as not to waste time."
"Senior brother, you come first, I'm not in a hurry."
"I'm not in a hurry, please have a seat, senior brother."
Where is Senior Brother Lin Shan?
A disciple called out and summoned Lin Shan, who was as large as a small mountain.
Although Lin Shan has only recently entered the field of phonetics, his talent is evident to all.
In a short time, the disciples of the Five Symbols Sect had all assigned lotus platforms in an orderly manner.
The remaining positions are still in high demand.
At this moment, an elder from the Flower Spirit Sect arrived in mid-air and spoke.
"The lotus seats for this grand gathering of music are limited. You may compete with each other, but you must hone your skills through music. You will understand how to use the lotus seats once you are seated."
As soon as he finished speaking, the competition among the crowd temporarily ceased.
"Please be quiet now."
The elder then withdrew.
Suddenly, the sound of a zither arose between heaven and earth.
A long zither fell from the sky and hovered in mid-air.
This long zither seems to have endured a long period of time, giving it a sense of vicissitude.
Before it, no one was seen, yet the strings began to play on their own, and the sound emanated from them.
Upon closer inspection, one will discover that numerous intricate and complex formations are engraved on this long zither, and the strings are activated by these formations.
"That's interesting."
Qin Jiuxiao's gaze fell on the zither, and his expression showed a hint of interest.
Beside him, the sect leader of the Flower Spirit Sect smiled and said:
"This zither is called the Flower Spirit Qin, and it was left behind by the founding ancestor of the Flower Spirit Sect."
"What is being presented now is the performance preserved by our ancestor using the method of recording sound through an array. Just hearing this piece is helpful for both cultivation and the understanding of music."
"I brought it out specifically for Young Master Qin's visit today."
Qin Jiuxiao nodded slightly and said:
"Let's listen to it first."
At the same time, the sound of a piano rang out.
In an instant, the sound of the zither enveloped the entire arena.
Everyone fell silent.
The initial notes of the piano were not abrupt, but rather relatively gentle.
Countless people closed their eyes and Jingjing felt it.
Lu Changzhi was equally engrossed in it.
Within this music, there is a sense of the shifting of stars and the changing of the world.
It felt as if my body and soul had entered a secluded paradise.
And everything happening here is being constructed by the sound of the piano.
"As expected of something left behind by the ancestors of the Flower Spirit Sect."
Within the realm of music, Lu Changzhi nodded gently.
He had heard Liu Qingyan play before, and although it was already quite good, it couldn't compare to what he was seeing now.
In terms of the authenticity of the artistic conception and the depth of the meaning, one can only say that experience matters.
As time went by, the atmosphere of the zither also began to become more urgent.
Soon, another kind of musical experience appeared in everyone's minds.
Although there are some differences, the music flows smoothly, demonstrating the artist's mastery of phonetics.
The song played for an unknown amount of time.
Even after the strings of the guqin stopped playing, everyone remained immersed in the sounds they had just heard.
As the saying goes, the lingering sound resonates and never dissipates.
That is indeed the case.
Lu Changzhi slowly opened his eyes and nodded gently.
He was neither trained in music nor knowledgeable about the zither.
He only expressed what had just been said in the simplest and most unadorned way.
"It sounds nice."
A good instrument and a good piece of music sound good.
For the general public, especially those who cultivate the art of sound, it was a deeply moving experience.
As the saying goes, the layman sees the spectacle, while the expert sees the details.
For them, the performance just now presented them with many techniques and there was much to learn.
For a moment, many people's faces fell into deep thought.
At this moment, in mid-air, Changqin returned to the group of people from the Flower Spirit Sect.
"What does Young Master Qin think?"
The sect leader of the Flower Spirit Sect asked with a smile.
"Good."
Qin Jiuxiao nodded and spoke, turning his gaze away from Flower Spirit Qin.
Thus, the sect leader of the Flower Spirit Sect had a better understanding of the situation.
At that moment, a sound fell onto the field.
"Next, it's time for you to practice against each other."
As the sound faded, the atmosphere in the arena returned to its usual lively state.
Clearly, friendly competition is permitted.
Since that's the case, a struggle is inevitable.
Especially those 40% of the areas that are openly contested.
They immediately began sparring and competing.
The Lotus Pond of today is clearly prepared for this purpose.
Those who sit on the lotus platform first can enjoy the benefits it brings, but they also have to face challenges.
Anyone who wants to spar only needs to sit in a spot next to the lotus platform, and an array will automatically be created to cover both of them.
In this way, the two can exchange ideas on phonetics without disturbing others.
As for those outside the arena, they can freely enter the formation and listen to the exchange between the two sides.
It's worth mentioning that whether it's sitting on the lotus platform or taking on a challenge...
Each of these requires a sliver of soul power to perform.
If you win, you will receive what your opponent has given, and with the help of the Divine Sound Lotus Platform, you can absorb the soul power of others to strengthen your own soul.
The strength of one's soul power directly affects the strength of one's will, which is extremely important for those who cultivate the art of music.
In short, this so-called friendly competition and challenge, to some extent, involves an element of gambling.
However, the amount of soul power required each time is not so much that it would affect one's health.
Therefore, in no time, right from the start, all forty percent of the area began to spar.
The residence of the younger generation of the Azure Cloud Sect.
"The good spots have all been taken by the senior students, let's go grab some spots elsewhere."
"I think it's a good idea. How about going to that 40% area? Their influence isn't that great, and their phonology skills are probably just so-so."
"No, with so many people watching, if we don't go after them, people will say we're bullying the weak." The young man said, glancing towards the group of the Mystic One Sect disciples.
Then, the boy's eyes lit up.
"Let's go to the Five Symbols Sect and see that burly guy. He's obviously just pretending. It'll be easy to steal from him."
