Realms In The Firmament

Master Xiao had clearly made a successful performance by reaching the last part of the song, so he turned to look at Ye Xiao’s face. As expected, Ye Xiao should already be utterly depressed… No matter how tough his will was, he should at least be freaked out…

However, when he saw Ye Xiao, he was shocked. Ye Xiao had kept his eyes closed while listening to the depressing song. Suddenly, it seemed he had sensed Master Xiao’s gaze, so he abruptly opened both eyes. In his eyes, there was no sign of pain. His eyes were clear, and he showed a big smile to Master Xiao.

It was a sinister sneer.

It felt like he was watching a clown playing some childish tricks on the stage of adults…

The last part of the Great Song of Sky Rhythm was powerful, and it killed people. Master Xiao must be talented, and he had to work hard to successfully finish the performance. He must use his spiritual energy, his soul energy, and even his life energy to play the song…

However, things weren’t as he expected. Ye Xiao seemed to be totally unaffected by the song he played. Master Xiao panicked, so he abruptly stopped the performance because he was distracted. The great power became a reverse impact on him, and he was severely impacted…

The wonderful song of murder stopped just like that!

“How come?” Master Xiao stared at Ye Xiao.

He couldn’t understand. The great song that could manipulate the world actually failed to put Ye Xiao under control!

“I heard it… The first half of the song. It got into my heart. What a brilliant song! It is great! It brought up the deepest memory of mine…” Ye Xiao blandly smiled and said, “However, the last half… It is vicious and murderous.

“If you played it to kill somebody else, you would have succeeded.” Ye Xiao’s eyes looked weird, and he said, “But not me!”

Ye Xiao continued, “I… I died once.

“The song must fill people’s hearts with despair. It has to make people lose hope in living. Well. I have died once. I know how meaningful it is to be alive. I won’t give my life up for some misfortune in the past, will I?

“That is why it failed on me.”

Ye Xiao paused and then smiled. He said, “Well if you didn’t focus on me while you were playing, I would love to hear it out. It is truly a magnificent masterpiece…”

“You have died once?” Master Xiao was blank. He didn’t understand. What did that mean? He surely couldn’t care less about the compliment now.

‘How could a living man have died once?

‘Is it a metaphor? Is it an exaggeration? What is it? How come he has died once? How is that possible?’

“No matter what, you have lost this.” Ye Xiao flew up and fast approached Master Xiao. He touched Master Xiao’s chest with one finger and said, “Now, you are all mine!”

He grabbed Master Xiao, who didn’t seem to be able to resist. They went into the Hall of Life and Death, and that was it. Things were back to silence.

As everything went to an end, the others were finally awake.

They won.

They saw the four victories in the battle. Bu Xiangfeng actually killed two Saint Origin Stage cultivators who should be stronger than him. As for the fifth, nobody knew what had really happened because they were all lost in the song…

It felt like they were dreaming. In fact, maybe they were in a dream. They felt like they were sober, but they couldn’t be sure. Master Xiao had played a great song, and yet all of a sudden, the battle was over.

They saw Ye Xiao move ahead and made an attack with a finger. Master Xiao didn’t have the power to even resist it. Ye Xiao just put him down with one finger and took him into the Hall of Life and Death. That was it…

“What happened? Why is it like a dream for me?”

People were all confused. They talked to each other, but nobody had the answer.

None of them knew how dangerous it was. If Ye Xiao didn’t have a special life experience, their Lord Monarch and the Monarch’s Hall would have been hurt really bad!

Off-screen Narration: The cat may say, “What do you mean? Am I a dead cat to you? When things are really that bad, I won’t just stand and watch, will I? Besides, although my master is a weak and stupid leader, he is not too weak to resist the influence of that young man’s stupid song. Ye Xiao only needs more time to really master the true power of the East-rising Purple Qi! that is all!”

There was one thing people were all sure about. The four good fights opened their eyes. They were all shocked and enlightened.

The Dark Evil Spirit sacrificed his own life to create a perfect opportunity. Meng Youjiang killed the enemy with an easy move. Bu Xiangfeng showed a magnificent technique of sword art…

The Dark Evil Spirit told everybody how to create an opportunity to defeat an enemy who was much stronger than him.

Meng Youjiang showed everybody how to leave no chance for the weaker enemy in a fight with a steady move.

Bu Xiangfeng was a lot stronger than the others in the Monarch’s Hall, so people couldn’t easily learn anything from his victory, but they all saw something enlightening to them.

They were all in thoughts, thinking about what had just happened.

Meng Youjiang didn’t need to urge them, and they all quickly returned to their places. Some of them were in meditation, and some were cultivating. The others were holding their weapons and trying to figure out something new…

Meng Youjiang and Bu Xiangfeng were the two most powerful men in the Monarch’s Hall. They looked at each other and both felt satisfied.

“It seems the fights have given our men a lot to learn.”

Meng Youjiang said, “That’s true. They have barely seen the fights between Saint Origin Stage cultivators… What happened is good for them. They are lucky. What we did must have taught them a lot…”

Bu Xiangfeng smiled and said, “There were two things beyond my expectation, though. One was how the Dark Evil Spirit earned himself an opportunity to win, and the other was how Lord Monarch dealt with the murderous song attack.”
