The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2031: Divine Melody Taihua

The crowd had high praises for Ning Hua. Over where the members of Desolate God Palace were, Desolation lowered his head and picked up a cup of wine. He drained it in one gulp. He raised his head and glanced over at where Ning Hua was among the members of Donghua Academy.

A faint battle intent emanated from his gaze. Seemingly sensing something, Ning Hua also turned his head around and looked towards Desolation. They locked gazes. A formless current actually formed in between them.

The surrounding people seemed to all sense something. Their gazes shifted toward them.

When the cultivators of Desolate God Palace entered Donghua Academy, Desolation had wanted to challenge Ning Hua. However, Ning Hua was not around.

Now that such an opportunity had arisen, Desolation would certainly not let it slip past him.

However, Desolation was not anxious. He would wait until everyone had battled before challenging Ning Hua. He wanted to see how powerful this monstrous figure, who was renowned as the top figure in the Donghua Domain, was.

Within Donghua Palace, the giant figures had also detected something. They looked down below, and they revealed faint smiles. It appeared as though there would be very exciting battles at the peak. Aside from Desolation and Ning Hua, there were also many other incredible figures.

The others would certainly use this opportunity to test each other out.

At that moment, another silhouette stepped forward and appeared on the Law Battle Platform. This Renhuang had an otherworldly aura and appeared suave.

“He is a cultivator from String Palace from the Donghua Heavens,” someone commented when they recognized this Renhuang in his thirties. String Palace was a top force of the Donghua Heavens. Almost all of the Renhuangs of leading forces in the Donghua Heavens attended the Donghua Banquet. Also, among the Nine Heavens, the Donghua Heavens had the most Renhuangs.

Hence, up until now, all those who had walked up to the Law Battle Platform were all cultivators from the Donghua Heavens.

The Renhuang from String Palace raised his head and looked up into the sky. His gaze landed on a person. Many people immediately turned to see who he was looking at. It was the absolute beauty with a mesmerizing appearance—Goddess Taihua.

When they saw a cultivator from String Palace walk out, many people speculated that Goddess Taihua would be chosen for this Law Battle.

The Renhuang said, “I am from String Palace and am somewhat proficient in Rhythmic Sorcery. I heard that Taihua Skylord, as well as Goddess Taihua, would be coming. I have long admired the two of you. I wonder whether I will have the good fortune of hearing the Divine Melody Taihua today.” Many people were anticipating this. Among the top ten most famous songs in the world, one of them was called “Taihua.”

Taihua Mountain, as well as Taihua Skylord, were named after this song. Their surnames were not Taihua, but they were called this because they cultivated the Divine Melody Taihua.

Countless gazes landed on Goddess Taihua. She slowly got up and then stepped forward. As they gazed at her absolutely stunning appearance, many people felt their hearts stir. Some people have been blessed since their birth. Not only had she been blessed with extraordinary cultivation talent, but she was also bestowed with astonishing beauty. Some people were destined to be favored by the heavens.

An example of such a person was Ning Hua; he was also born above the others and was a Proud Son of Heaven.

As Goddess Taihua walked forward, a halo of light circled around her. It was mesmerizing and calming. Her steps were like the music of deities. The sounds that they made caused the hearts of many to beat in tune. This sensation was miraculous. It was not a hallucination; Goddess Taihua truly gave everyone such a feeling.

It was just like how a swordsman would give off a sharp vibe while a person who cultivated the Great Path of Frost would cause people to feel chilly.

Goddess Taihua made people feel as though they were listening to beautiful music. It was very relaxing. Looking at her was like enjoying a symphony.

“Incredible. The rhythm of the Great Path has already merged with her body completely. She can utilize it naturally. It is as though her body is a musical score of the Great Path,” Li Changsheng praised. The people around him also felt the same. They agreed with his praise. Her cultivation was astonishing.

Ye Futian also sensed this. He also cultivated a Divine Melody, but he had yet to reach such a level. It was apparent that the other party had greater attainment in Rhythmic Sorcery than him. After all, he had cultivated music as a means to support his cultivation. However, it was different for Goddess Taihua. She nourished her Great Path with music and had reached the stage where her body and will were one with her Rhythmic Sorcery.

Ye Futian could not help but feel a sense of anticipation. How powerful was Goddess Taihua’s music?

Goddess Taihua stepped onto the Law Battle Platform and stood before the cultivator from String Palace. The other party said, “Goddess, please go easy on me.”

“Let’s begin,” Goddess Taihua replied as she nodded her head. The other cultivator sat down, cross-legged. An ancient guqin appeared before his body. Instantly, his Rhythmic Sorcery became divine light of the Great Path that radiated outwards. Very quickly, musical notes enveloped this part of the sky. The rhythm of the Great Path filled the air.

Goddess Taihua stood there quietly. On her body, formless Rhythmic Sorcery expanded outwards like ripples. A guqin of the Great Path appeared before her. The Great Path around her served as her strings. Each string was formed from the Great Path of Rhythmic Sorcery.

That was not all. There seemed to be a miraculous resonance around them. It was as though this part of the sky was covered by the will of her Great Path, forming a domain. The entire space was within her domain of Rhythmic Sorcery. Countless guqin strings appeared around them.

Goddess Taihua extended her delicate hands. Her palms were fair. Her fingers were slender and elegant. Her fingers curved and plucked at the strings of the guqin.

A string of musical notes leaped out. In an instant, a sound wave actually swept out, causing the guqin strings in the domain of the Great Path to resonate. She played loudly and powerfully. It was hard to imagine that such a delicate and beautiful figure could play such powerful notes with simple plucks of the guqin strings.

The other party’s recital was nearly cut off. The Renhuang felt his body become extremely heavy. Every pluck of his strings seemed so difficult. Under the effects of the powerful musical notes, his own playing was directly suppressed.

Goddess Taihua did not stop. Her fingers danced on top of the guqin. Immediately, countless musical notes of the Great Path leaped out. Each note contained unparalleled power. This was a beautiful melody that was filled with power. It was weighty and powerful. The surrounding space felt unbearably heavy. It pressed down on the figure of the other cultivator. The Renhuang even felt a frightening pressure acting on his spiritual soul.

At that moment, he seemed to see an illusion. It was as though he was standing alone on the ground, and divine mountains were descending from the heavens. Standing alone in the vast world, he appeared exceptionally miniscule. His Great Path was being suppressed. His flesh and spiritual soul were also suppressed. It did not take long for him to be unable to continue playing. His strings had snapped. He raised his head and looked up at her guqin strings of the Great Path. Although they appeared formless, he felt as though he could see them clearly. The strings were everywhere, like mountains before him.

Right then, the sensation suddenly disappeared. The domain of the Great Path dissipated. Everything appeared to be a dream. Before him, a peerless beauty was floating in the sky. She stood there silently, stunning to behold.

“Many thanks, Goddess,” said the Renhuang as he bowed slightly. She had enabled him to experience the Divine Melody Taihua. He was naturally grateful. Otherwise, with Goddess Taihua’s ability, any tune she played could similarly crush him.

Yet, just now, he could truly feel the majestic power contained within the Divine Melody Taihua. When faced with such might and incredible power, even upper-level Renhuangs would feel small.

Goddess Taihua nodded her head slightly. She then walked down from the Law Battle Platform and returned to her seat.

Ye Futian glanced at her. Although he had not experienced the Divine Melody Taihua up close, he could still sense its majestic power from outside of the Law Battle Platform. It was powerful and rich. It could suppress the Great Path. He did know which was more powerful, this or Song of the Lost Divine.

“Marvelous,” praised Chief Ning from Donghua Palace. “Today, the Donghua Banquet is full of surprises. Even us old fellows will still be astonished at such a Divine Melody. It seems that she has completely inherited the Way of Taihua Skylord.”

“Taihua Skylord’s daughter is a peerless Proud Daughter of Heaven. Even among the men, few can compare to her. She will certainly become a prominent figure at the peak. She reminds me of the vice chief,” Lingxiao Palace Palace Lord said with a smile. His words caused an idea to surface in the minds of many people.

What was he implying?

However, Ning Hua and Goddess Taihua were indeed a match. They were both top figures of their generation.

“You are all too generous with your praises. The juniors of Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow are not inferior to her,” said Taihua Skylord casually with a smile.

Down below, over where the members of Donghua Academy were, Ning Hua raised his cup and said to Goddess Taihua, “I never imagined that I would have the good fortune of hearing the Divine Melody Taihua today. It is deserving of being one of the top ten most famous songs in the world. Goddess, let me offer a toast to you.”

Many people revealed strange expressions. Ning Hua was incredibly proud. This was the first time he had greeted another person first.

“Vice chief, you praise me too highly,” Goddess Taihua replied as she raised her cup. The two of them drank together from where they stood.

Upon seeing this scene, many members of the Donghua Palace revealed knowing smiles. They seemed somewhat intrigued.

If Ning Hua and Goddess Taihua could become an item, they would definitely become the most perfect couple among this generation in the Donghua Domain!
