Chapter 1367: I'll Take You There

"Five minutes?"

Her eyelids twitching, Bi Hongyin gritted her teeth. "What should I do?"

If anyone else had spoken to her like that, she would have knocked them off the crane's back long ago, but this person was different.

Through his guidance, he had enabled Luo Xuanqing to break through in a short time, which already demonstrated his ability. Although breaking through from the seventh-level peak of the Saint Domain was not easy, compared to the eighth level, it was already simple to the point of being nothing.

"Show me the cultivation technique you practice. I need to know the method you cultivate in order to find the opportunity for breakthrough."

Zhang Xuan said.

"Alright!"

Flipping his wrist, Bi Hongyin handed over a book.

Zhang Xuan casually opened it.

"Seven-String Refining Sound Art!"

Bi Hongyin cultivated the most顶尖 technique of the Demon Sound Masters, using the body as a zither and qi as strings. With a single thought, the sound of the zither rang out, and every chant and intonation carried a special power that immersed people in it.

After finishing reading the technique, Zhang Xuan took out the book formed from her martial technique and compared them. After studying for a short while, he found a solution.

"The Seven-String Refining Sound Art uses true qi to condense seven strings. Entering the Void Realm also forms a seven-string domain. Entering it is like falling into a demon sound world, easily inducing inner demons and attacking the primordial spirit... This technique is indeed not easy to break through, but your accumulation is sufficient; you only lack one thing..."

Zhang Xuan frowned.

"What is that one thing?"

Bi Hongyin quickly looked at him.

"The seven-string domain is not sharp enough. If someone could suppress you with the same demon sound, attacking the weak points in your zither music, it should stimulate your potential and allow a smooth breakthrough."

Nodding, Zhang Xuan said.

Although her technique had considerable flaws, she had already cultivated to this level and could not change it. The only way to break through the current shackles was to break sound with sound!

Use zither music to break the weak points inside her, destroy and then rebuild, succeeding in one go.

"Suppress me?"

Stunned, Bi Hongyin smiled bitterly. "Demon sound suppression, breaking sound with sound, requires ultimate mastery of the zither. I'm afraid only my teacher could do it, but unfortunately she is not here. It's easy to say, but to accomplish it, how difficult..."

"I happen to have some knowledge of demon sound; I can give it a try."

Zhang Xuan smiled.

"You understand demon sound?" Bi Hongyin couldn't believe it.

"I've studied a bit... By the way, do you have any books on demon sound? Bring them out for me to see. The more the better. I'll study them and see if I can find a detailed method to help you break through."

Zhang Xuan said.

"Alright!"

Flipping his wrist, a large pile of books immediately appeared on the crane's back. The girl looked over. "These are all copies I made. There are over two thousand in total, all about demon sound."

Nodding, Zhang Xuan swept his eyes over them, gathering the contents of all the books into his mind.

He casually picked up one book to pretend to read, while his spirit immersed itself in his sea of consciousness, studying these books.

Although he had a Seven-Star Demon Sound Master badge, he had actually only read six-star techniques. His understanding of demon sound barely reached the early stage of seven stars, which was insufficient to solve the problem on her body.

"Correct!"

After tumbling through the bookshelf, a book fell out.

The books she had collected were numerous enough to successfully form a Heavenly Dao technique. He pointed a finger, and the content of the book merged into his own knowledge. Then he opened his eyes again. "I've found a way to solve your problem!"

"So fast?"

Looking down at the book he held, titled "Detailed Explanation of Music Scores," Bi Hongyin was full of disbelief.

This book was one she had read when she first became a Seven-Star Demon Sound Master, introducing some ordinary seven-star music scores and performance techniques, roughly on the level of "Three Hundred Nursery Rhymes"... Could it help someone advance?

"Mm, sit cross-legged and take out your zither."

Without explaining, Zhang Xuan said.

Full of doubt, Bi Hongyin took out her zither and lightly plucked it.

Ding-dong!

The sound of the zither immediately rang out.

As she played, her temperament instantly changed, and in the blink of an eye, it felt like facing towering waves that could drown one at any moment.

Flipping his wrist, Zhang Xuan also took out his own zither.

This zither was made by Dean Jiang using a tree from his own courtyard. Even with his current strength, it was not outdated. He also plucked it.

The sound rang out as well.

His zither sound did not have great offensive power, but carried a melodious flavor, as if rising from the mind, involuntarily immersing people in it.

He had just condensed the seven-star level Heavenly Dao demon sound, but had not yet had time to cultivate it. The zither sound he now played, though only at the early seven-star level in power, struck every beat in her rhythm, and its power was no less than that of a seven-star peak zither sound.

Dong dong dong dong!

After a few consecutive notes, Bi Hongyin's face immediately turned crimson, and she nearly spat blood on the spot.

"So strong..."

Having had some doubts before, she now understood that his understanding of demon sound was far deeper than hers!

Terrifying!

Formation, medicine, beast taming... he was proficient in everything, and even demon sound was so formidable. How did this guy learn it all?

While Zhang Xuan was helping Bi Hongyin destroy and rebuild to冲击 the peak of the Void Realm, Yuan Xiao and the others looked on with envy.

However, their envy did not last long before they heard Yun Lianhai's voice: "It seems the crane beneath us... is falling!"

Luo Xuanqing and the others looked down and saw that the Colorful Heavenly Crane, which had been flying steadily, was now wobbling and descending.

"It is falling, but not fast. It's fine."

Luo Xuanqing nodded. Before he finished speaking, he saw the crane below suddenly stretch its neck, its eyes bulging as if about to pop out. Its neck twisted, tongue hanging from the corner of its mouth, and with a "whoosh," it fainted.

"This..."

Luo Xuanqing and the others twitched their mouths.

They were all Saint Domain-level experts; even if the mount fell, they could fly and wouldn't be hurt, but... couldn't you two tone it down a bit?

Look, even the crane can't take it anymore!

If this guy really had a problem, how would they get back to the Saint Son Hall?

They quickly acted, lifting the crane and everyone, slowly landing on the ground.

Zhang Xuan and Bi Hongyin seemed unaware that the crane had already fallen, still playing the zither face to face.

The crane lying on the ground, hearing the zither sound, twitched a few more times in its coma, continuously foaming at the mouth, as if being desecrated.

Boom!

Just as they were considering whether to advise them to stop and give the crane a break, they heard Bi Hongyin let out a long cry. The aura on her body pierced the sky, and the cultivation that had been stuck at the late stage of the Void Realm instantly broke through!

"Void Realm peak? She actually broke through... exactly five minutes!"

Exchanging glances, Yuan Xiao and Yun Lianhai's eyes widened.

From when Zhang Shi said he would help her break through in five minutes, to reading books and playing the zither, it sounded complicated, but in reality... exactly five minutes, no more, no less!

This... the calculation was too precise!

"Alright!"

Playing the final note, Zhang Xuan put his zither into his storage ring, exhaled, and stood up.

Only then did he recover from that special state of mind. He paused and frowned. "Hmm? How did we get on the ground?"

He had been playing the zither in a state of ecstasy and hadn't noticed. Weren't they on the crane's back? How did they end up on the ground?

"Look at the crane and you'll know."

Seeing his confusion, Luo Xuanqing pointed helplessly.

Zhang Xuan quickly turned his head and saw the crane with its tongue out, its two long legs twitching occasionally, even keeping rhythm with the music he had just played, maintaining the beat even in a faint.

"Truly understands music!" Zhang Xuan praised. "The crane knows me!"

"..." The others.

"Zhang Shi, my cultivation has also reached a bottleneck. Could you give me some guidance?"

"I'm also a bit short..."

...

Seeing Bi Hongyin break through, Yuan Xiao and Yun Lianhai felt a surge of envy and came over.

Zhang Xuan initially didn't want to help, but when he saw the good things these two family disciples brought, none inferior to eight-star formation flags, he hesitated for a long time and gladly agreed.

Yun Lianhai had the lowest cultivation and weak combat strength, so breaking through was relatively easy. Yuan Xiao, with his invincible defense, was more troublesome.

However, it didn't stump him. He summoned the Hell Azure Dragon Beast and gave it a good beating. Before long, Yuan Xiao broke through smoothly.

They rested on the spot for a day to consolidate their cultivation, then continued forward.

By then, the Colorful Heavenly Crane had finally recovered. Although it still occasionally paused in flight, like braking, and dropped a few hundred meters, it could now fly normally.

Even so, its speed was much slower than before. A journey that would have taken only five or six days now took a full ten days before they saw the Saint Son Hall appear before them.

Although this trip had taken a lot of time, everyone's strength had soared, especially Luo Xuanqing, who was at the Half-Step Cave Void Realm and could break through at any time, making him a peak figure even in the inner courtyard of the Saint Son Hall.

"Zhang Shi, are you interested in going with me to find Zhang Chun?"

Landing in a spacious courtyard, Luo Xuanqing jumped off the crane's back, his eyes shining.

"Find Zhang Chun?"

"That's right. I want to beat him up to vent my anger. If I don't, wouldn't my surge in strength be like wearing fine clothes in the dark?"

Luo Xuanqing licked his lips.

"This..." Zhang Xuan hesitated. "I was planning to take the auxiliary profession exams to冲击 the Eight-Star Master Teacher..."

He had obtained the Hall Master's Token a long time ago, and it was time to quickly assess for Eight-Star Master Teacher.

Time waits for no one. If he delayed any longer, Luo Ruoxi might really be taken by someone else.

"Auxiliary exams?" Luo Xuanqing glanced at him. "What professions are you planning to take?"

"Awakener, Alchemist, Physician, Calligrapher, Beast Tamer, Artificer, Soaring Master, Appraiser... any profession will do."

After a moment's hesitation, Zhang Xuan said.

An Eight-Star Master Teacher requires eight auxiliary professions to reach eight stars. Currently, he only had one—Formation Master—and needed to continue working.

"These professions, I've messed... visited them all and know them well. After I beat up Zhang Chun, I'll take you there."

Waving his hand grandly, Luo Xuanqing said with boldness.
