Translator: Tamon Translation Checker: Silavin The soft zither music rippled smoothly, with Misty Pavilion at its centre, throughout Dragonised City. Everyone was enraptured by the clear music. The waves of sounds submerged the area in their soothing vibes, bringing peace and tranquillity to this war-torn city and its despondent survivors. The cultivators were entranced. In the Immortal music, their spirits and emotions were subdued. None could escape the Dao Rhythm’s rapture, with all of Dragonised City falling into its soothing embrace. The song this time, however, affected every victim of the Malignant Spirits’ attacks. Their wounds healed with the tempo of the zither. Even the scars some cultivators had were showing signs of alleviation. The people were overwhelmed, shocked to the core, as cultivators stuck at a wall in cultivation advanced under the influence of the zither. None, however, was aware of the changes brought about to their bodies. They were so engrossed in the music that they could not come out. The soft and gentle zither, majestic and boundless like the sea, presented the cultivators of Dragonised City with a unique opportunity. Chen Changan could switch the music to one of slaughter and death anytime he wanted. Immortal Solution and Special Effects always matched his intent. A mere pluck of the strings would send every cultivator to Hell. It sent shivers down Chen Changan’s spine as to the power he wielded. Alas, the Immortal Dao was cruel, in a world where might made right. Chen Changan knew this better than anyone. He, however, held no interest in killing or slaughter and would not act like Upper Realm Immortals, treating the Lower Realm denizens like filth. He had principles, to never strike unprovoked. Once he did, well, [I’m sorry, but your entire Clan shall be wiped off of this plane of existence]. The zither was like the murmur of spring, cool, tranquil, blissfully leading you to endless peace… Chen Changan found this new use of the trait awesome. <Detecting host’s fusion of Immortal Solution and Special Effects. A new trait obtained: Sacred Rhythm Integration.> [Sacred Rhythm Integration? The heck is that?] He never knew he could gain traits other than upgrading the System. Chen Changan did not rush into checking its effects, for the Avatar was almost spent. He gazed at Mei Niang. She was like the other cultivators in the city, engrossed in the music and the Dao Rhythm flowing through her every fibre. He could see her body undergoing changes. Her Immortal Dao was stronger and more powerful. Mei Niang’s cultivation was rising. She just reached the 7th Layer, yet was now on the brink of entering the 8th. The skill to bring about such a feat would leave even Upper Realm Immortals in disarray and chaos! Every single insight into the Immortal Dao was like surmounting the Heavens. Each Layer was a mountain to climb through blood, sweat, and tears. Mei Niang had Chen Changan’s help in skipping the legwork. The Upper Realm would boil if it knew she was close to advancing two Layers just like that! Chen Changan did not know that. All he realised was that the performance let him understand that Sacred Rhythm Integration helped Immortals advance. It was remarkable. To put it crudely, [Freaking Amazing!] [But how long will this body last? Would it help Mei Niang advance again?] Chen Changan’s playing halted. He was spent, but the music still hummed throughout Dragonised City, caring Dao Rhythm to anyone who listened and opened their hearts to it. As his energy reached rock bottom, Chen Changan’s Avatar faded from this world. [It was so hard to come out by myself, yet couldn’t even sleep with a girl. Leaving like this is such a… waste…]
