518: Five Tones and Six Rhythms, Sitting and Forgetting, and Visualizing

“......”

Xie Weilou took the two ancient books and glanced at them.

The first one was Five Tones and Six Pitches.

The second one was Sitting in Forgetfulness and Contemplation.

Lihua Bai smiled lightly and explained, “Five Tones and Six Pitches, the myriad phenomena, explains what musical rhythm is, and elaborates on various soul attacks in the form of sound waves, involving all musical instruments. You can read it carefully and ponder over it yourself, but be careful not to focus solely on the musical rhythm, as it actually contains countless things beyond music.”

“As for Sitting in Forgetfulness and Contemplation, it is a soul cultivation technique, and also the strongest cultivation method I practice. It can break through realm shackles and enhance your soul. Once you master the contents of these two books, you can combine them for comprehension, and you will surely gain tremendous insights.”

The soul is profound and unpredictable; it is an even more peculiar power that, like spiritual energy, can transform endlessly and kill invisibly.

However, the soul is very difficult to cultivate, and it is hard to improve the soul before entering the Divine Court Realm.

Sitting in Forgetfulness and Contemplation can break these shackles, allowing cultivators to cultivate their souls before reaching the Divine Court, which is extremely unique.

Just like her, her cultivation is only at the Dragon Transformation Realm Peak, but her Divine Soul can already rival the Divine Court Realm.

This is the effect of Sitting in Forgetfulness and Contemplation.

Xie Weilou put away the two books and said to Lihua Bai, “Thank you, Seven Mr.”

Lihua Bai smiled and said, “You should first go and comprehend these two books to see if you have any enlightenment. If you make any progress, you can come here and ask me any questions.”

She needed to see if Xie Weilou had any enlightenment first; if he didn't, she wouldn't be able to teach him.

However, this young man was so extraordinary; presumably, his enlightenment wouldn't be weak.

“Mm.”

Xie Weilou nodded gently.

He looked at Lihua and Peach Blossom: “From now on, you two should diligently follow Seven Mr. to cultivate. If you have any problems, you can always go to Thunder Peak to find me.”

“Yes, Marquis.”

The two girls nodded obediently.

Afterward, Xie Weilou left Rotten Wood Peak and returned to Thunder Peak. He needed to carefully study these two books next.

Thunder Peak.

Inside the Immortal's Cave.

Xie Weilou sat down cross-legged, took out the two books, and began to read them seriously.

Five Tones and Six Pitches involved musical rhythm, introducing various situations where the soul propagates in the form of sound waves. If someone launched a soul attack in the form of sound waves, it could also be easily resolved depending on the situation.

However, beyond musical rhythm, it also involved soul transformation techniques and soul attack techniques.

The soul could, like spiritual energy, transform into myriad things and attack invisibly, making it impossible for people to guard against.

At the same time, there were also normal zither sound attacks, where spiritual energy was used to guide the zither sounds into terrifying attacks.

As for Sitting in Forgetfulness and Contemplation, it was a cultivation method for the soul, allowing cultivators to possess powerful soul energy before reaching the Divine Court. This method also had wonderful uses for the Divine Court.

Xie Weilou actually also had a soul cultivation method, which was the Nirvana Sutra.

However, the cultivation method of the Nirvana Sutra was soul refinement, which required entering the Divine Court to cultivate.

Now with Sitting in Forgetfulness and Contemplation, he could cultivate his soul one step earlier.

His current soul was not weak, and if it were further enhanced, it would definitely become even more powerful.

After half an hour.

Xie Weilou finished reading the entire content of both books, completely memorizing them in his mind.

Currently, he had only memorized the content; next, he needed to comprehend the content of the two books.

Once everything was mastered, he would also need to integrate and comprehend the content of the two books, which would surely yield tremendous gains.

Whoosh!

Xie Weilou waved his sleeve, and an ancient zither flew before him.

Playing the zither?

Actually, when he was on Earth, he had also learned a bit, and he wasn't bad, but to go further, he needed to seriously ponder it.

“......”

Xie Weilou closed his eyes, his hands caressing the zither, gently playing. In his mind, the contents of Five Tones and Six Pitches and Sitting in Forgetfulness and Contemplation simultaneously appeared.

Perhaps he could combine the contents of the two from the very beginning, which would make the improvement even more extraordinary.

Of course, the difficulty would certainly be much greater.

— — — — — —

A month later.

Xie Weilou left the Immortal's Cave and flew to the peak of the mountain. With his hands on the zither, he played a piece called “Empty Mountain Birdsong,” the zither melody gradually flowing with a marvelous rhythm.

Thunder Peak had no spiritual birds; here, there was only endless thunder.

Buzz buzz buzz!

As he played, the surrounding thunder madly condensed, transforming into thunderbirds that floated around, lightning arcs flashing, dazzling and piercing.

As he played, the surrounding world instantly changed, as if a huge domain had formed. This was a vast mountain, without thunder, only gentle power, with a hundred birds flying within it.

Boom!

Half an incense stick later, Xie Weilou's playing speed became faster and faster. This domain instantly shattered, the zither melody erupted, and the surrounding thunder was dispersed.

Invisible soul attacks swept out, transforming into long swords, long spears, long lances, fierce beasts, and vegetation, manifesting in myriad forms, utterly bizarre.

A few breaths passed.

The zither melody paused.

Xie Weilou slowly opened his eyes and muttered to himself, “In one month, my soul has nearly doubled in strength. The two books given by Seven Mr. are indeed not simple.”

In one month, he had completely mastered the content of both books. Now, he could definitely be considered a grandmaster of the zither, capable of facing all enemies with an ancient zither in hand.

“Roar!”

Suddenly, a roar sounded, and the Thunder Eagle King flew over, its huge wings flapping, instantly unleashing a thousand destructive thunderbolts towards Xie Weilou.

Buzz!

Seeing this, Xie Weilou smiled indifferently and casually strummed the zither.

Thunder attached to the zither strings, the strings vibrated, and the zither melody erupted, transforming into a thousand thunder blades that fiercely slashed upwards.

Rumble!

Thunder clashed, and explosive sounds continuously erupted in the sky. Lightning flashed, dazzling and roaring constantly.

“Again!”

The Thunder Eagle King roared, opening its large mouth, and a thick pillar of thunder light erupted, fiercely blasting towards Xie Weilou, its might even more overbearing.

“......”

Xie Weilou remained composed, continuing to play the zither. The zither melody swept out, transforming into a thunderous Azure Dragon that instantly soared into the nine heavens, tearing apart the pillar of thunder light and pouncing towards the Thunder Eagle King.

“Thunder Dragon? Interesting!”

The Thunder Eagle King seemed somewhat excited, frantically battling the thunderous Azure Dragon.

When it was at Phoenix Perch Mountain before, it had been stationed at Thunder Mountain, so it naturally knew of the Thunder Dragon's existence. Unfortunately, the Thunder Dragon was too terrifying, and it dared not approach it at all.

Rumble!

A moment later, the thunderous Azure Dragon was torn apart.

The Thunder Eagle King hovered in the sky, looking at Xie Weilou: “Kid, your zither attack is very interesting. Let's spar again next time.”

Having said that, it flapped its wings and left directly.

It had only simply sparred with Xie Weilou; if it were a real fight, it knew it was absolutely no match for Xie Weilou.

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently, put away his ancient zither, and stood up: “Perhaps it's time to meet Fifth Mr. next. I'm curious what he will teach me.”

The Seven Gentlemen each had their own specialties, and each of them was extremely extraordinary, worth learning from carefully.

How extraordinary was Fourth Mr.?

He told him to find Fifth Mr., which indicated that what Fifth Mr. could teach would certainly be even more extraordinary!
