The zither music lingered, and countless carps in the pond leaped out of the water, as if just to get a glimpse of Ye Xiu.
The surrounding flowers, grass and trees seemed to bow down, all facing towards Ye Xiu.
Everything seemed to revolve around Ye Xiu as the center, as if he had infinite, irresistible magic that could attract the attention of any living being.
Even Bai Qin inside was shaken by the zither music, as if she was immersed in this artistic conception.
The zither music was chaotic and disorderly, seeming to lack any rhythm, yet it could instantly grab people's ears, eyes, and every sense.
Both Bai Qin and Xue Yao slowly closed their eyes.
In their minds, a picture of a boundless clear water surface slowly unfolded.
Just see, as far as the eye can see, endless clear water, countless little fish swimming below, all heading towards the black-robed teenager with azure dragon on the left and white tiger on the right at the center of this vast water surface.
Hundreds of millions of fish swam under the water below Ye Xiu, the fish started dancing with the sound waves.
In an instant, the azure blue sky shed a pillar of splendid golden light, instantly enveloping Ye Xiu, bursting out dazzling boundless sacred radiance!
Ye Xiu was at the center of this world, the focus of the entire world.
No one could be more dazzling than him.
Finally, the zither music slowly faded away, and all the scenes disappeared, the fish in the pond, the surrounding flowers, grass and trees also returned to their original state.
But Bai Qin and Xue Yao still kept their eyes closed, seeming to be still indulging in it.
Ye Xiu couldn't help but wonder, he was just randomly playing the zither, he only imagined a picture in his mind, he didn't know at all what had just happened.
He was just bored and wanted to play the zither for fun.
It's that simple.
How could Master and Sister Xue Yao seem to be enjoying it so much?
Ye Xiu couldn't help but walked to the steps below them and asked, "Master, Sister Xue Yao?"
Bai Qin and Xue Yao suddenly opened their eyes, Bai Qin's pupils trembled, and she completely forgot that he had just called Xue Yao sister.
Bai Qin said in shock, "What is the name of the song you just played?"
Ye Xiu scratched his head. He hadn't thought of a name at all. Well, he should just come up with one on the spot.
After thinking for a moment, a flash of light shone in Ye Xiu's eyes and he said, "Master, I won't lie to you. This song was just randomly played by me out of boredom, it was purely improvised. As for the title, I didn't think of it at the time. But if you really want it to have a name, why not call it 'I'm The Most Handsome Guy in The World!'"
Hearing Ye Xiu's casual words, Bai Qin's mind cultivated for thousands of years almost collapsed.
What?
Played randomly out of boredom?
Purely improvised?
Who the hell can play such a profound conception when randomly playing out of boredom?
Although Ye Xiu's song was unpleasant to hear and had no sense of rhythm, creating such a profound conception would take at least several months.
The conception of the zither music focuses on bringing people into the world created by the player.
Not only did Ye Xiu achieve this, but he brought them in from the very first note.
Even all the living beings in this courtyard were brought into his music.
What an incredible talent!
With those chaotic, discordant notes that had no sense of rhythm or melody, he was able to bring them into that conception, even more remarkable.
At this time, Bai Qin pulled Xue Yao to the back.
Bai Qin said solemnly, "Xue Yao."
Xue Yao looked at Bai Qin, "Yes Master, what's the matter?"
Bai Qin sighed, "Indeed I misunderstood you. This child has never learned to play the zither before, yet he can play such mesmerizing music.
I also felt that he has indeed reached the Small Accomplishment Realm in conception through the zither.
Are you sure he reached this in just a few days?" Bai Qin asked again. Compared to her disbelief before, now she was more shocked.
Xue Yao blinked her big purple eyes and nodded seriously, "That's right Master. He is truly a monster, he doesn't need the quiet cultivation and self-reflection that we zither practitioners emphasize. As soon as he sits in front of the zither, everything comes naturally and the conception manifests by itself."
Hearing this, Bai Qin felt that her thousand years of cultivation was nothing compared to Ye Xiu.
Bai Qin nodded and sighed to the sky, "Indeed he is very monstrous. In my thousand years, I have only seen such a freak talent in the zither!"
"Xue Yao, you must teach him well and keep him here. With his current talent, perhaps in the future he could truly become the legendary Zither Sage!"
"That is a supreme realm that no one has reached in many years!"
"I have pursued it my whole life in seclusion from the mortal world, yet I'm still so far from the Zither Sage."
"But Ye Xiu now has such astonishing talent. Perhaps in the future he really could become the legendary Zither Sage and seal his sainthood through the zither!"
"By the way, why did you bring him to see me this time? It can't be as simple as just bringing him to meet me, right?" Bai Qin changed the subject.
Xue Yao smiled coyly, "As expected of Master, nothing can escape you. Master, you previously promised me that when I accept a disciple, you would gift him a zither. Ye Xiu's skills with the zither are impeccable, but until now he still doesn't have a suitable zither."
Bai Qin looked at Xue Yao with knitted brows, "Are you sure he can control that zither?"
Xue Yao said, "Why don't we let him try."
"Alright, but if he can't control it, next time when his skills are good enough he can come again." Bai Qin nodded with a gleam in her eyes.
Ye Xiu had been standing there for a long time before he finally saw Master and Sister Xue Yao walking over.
He heard Bai Qin slowly say, "Since you have become Xue Yao's disciple, you can also be considered my descendant. This time, I will gift you a zither. Of course, the prerequisite is that you can pluck the strings. Otherwise, it would be useless for me to give it to you."
Hearing this, Ye Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Gifting a zither?
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
