Chapter 452 - 471 Zisu’s Tactics
In Eastern Province.
On the plaza within the Wayless Sect situated on Misty Mountain.
At this very moment.
Si Yue and the young girl Zisu stood facing each other.
They had planned to spar with each other.
It was Zisu who had proposed it.
Apparently, Zisu was curious about the techniques of her senior sister and did not fully accept them.
Si Yue had appeared in front of Zisu soundlessly.
Even Zisu herself had not been aware of it.
Beneath the most exquisite tracking skill.
Even without any arrogance on her part, the innate pride in her bloodline still made Zisu somewhat unreconciled towards Si Yue.
Si Yue, faced with Zisu’s desire to spar, naturally could not refuse.
Thus, this sparring battle came to be.
The two stood facing each other.
Neither made the first move.
It was clear that both wanted the other to strike first.
The standoff lasted for a while.
A moment later.
Si Yue still chose to speak first.
"Junior sister, according to the seniority within our sect, I am your senior sister. Since this is a spar, it is only natural for you, junior sister, to make the first move," Si Yue said.
Zisu shook her head and replied, "No, senior sister, rather than following that rule, I would prefer to see your techniques first. I am very curious about the way you appeared behind me without making a sound."
"Well, if that is the case, shall I make my move then?" Si Yue heard this and could not say much else, so she just shook her head with a smile and said.
"Senior sister, please make your move..."
Zisu hadn’t finished speaking.
Suddenly, a breeze blew from behind her, lifting a few strands of her purple hair.
A fair and slender palm rested on Zisu’s shoulder.
"Junior sister, what are you looking at?" a voice came from behind.
Zisu turned her head slightly and immediately saw Si Yue standing behind her.
Her clear eyes flickered briefly.
This time, Zisu still did not notice Si Yue.
She didn’t even know how Si Yue had moved.
"Senior sister, you..."
"How did you do that?" Zisu couldn’t help but ask.
"Because of sound, all sounds in the world can be of the ’Great Dao Melody,’ and all sounds can also not be of the ’Great Dao Melody.’ Junior sister, your voice is already under my control," Si Yue explained.
However, Zisu’s face was still full of confusion.
Clearly, she didn’t understand at all what Si Yue was talking about.
"Don’t understand?" Si Yue asked again.
"Uh... does senior sister mean that as long as I don’t make a sound, then senior sister won’t be able to affect me?" Zisu asked, looking up.
"Not exactly. The ’Great Dao Melody’ is everywhere, thoughts are sounds, and every action more or less produces a sound," Si Yue said, shaking her head.
"Is that so..." Zisu said, bowing her head as if pondering something.
"Junior sister, I have made my move; it’s your turn now," Si Yue said with a smile.
"Okay, senior sister, then I shall make my move?" Zisu asked, tilting her head.
"Yes, junior sister, it’s your turn to make a move," Si Yue nodded and confirmed.
After Si Yue nodded.
She meant to observe Zisu, wanting to see what techniques her junior sister truly had.
But she didn’t see anything at all.
She only saw a flash of purple light in Si Yue’s eyes.
And then...
That was it.
Zisu conceded peculiarly.
Si Yue didn’t mind, and smiled as she encouraged Zisu with a few words.
Afterward, she took Zisu back to her own sleeping quarters, continuing to instill the principle of "growing quietly, astonishing the Respected Master" in Zisu.
Not long after the teaching had ended, the Respected Master returned.
The Respected Master occasionally discovered her activities within the sect.
He was very pleased with her and often covertly offered her guidance on higher levels of the musical path.
Her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.
Soon after, she even reached the Peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.
After Si Yue reached the Peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, the Respected Master sent her down the mountain.
He tasked her with spreading to the world what true music was all about.
Once she left, as she passed on her music, she was instantly revered as the master of music by all, admired by thousands, and held immense prestige both within the cultivation world and the Mortal Realm.
Finally, after another hundred years of cultivation,
Si Yue began her Ascension, shattering the void, heading toward the Upper Realm...
After the Ascension,
Si Yue felt a great chaos within her mind.
In her dazed state, she found herself back in the Wayless Sect square, with Zisu still standing before her.
Zisu surrendered just as she had done before.
Blurry-eyed, Si Yue experienced another lifetime.
This life was not much different from her last.
Only minor details had changed, but the general outline was the same.
She still became the music master revered by all, then shattered the void, Ascended to the Upper Realm...
And then the cycle repeated once again.
Si Yue found herself back in the Wayless Sect square.
This time, Si Yue clearly sensed that something was amiss.
She looked at Zisu who, as always, had surrendered from the start.
"Is this an illusion? Such a realistic illusion, that I couldn’t recognize it for so long until now."
Si Yue’s eyes gradually cleared.
She looked at the surrendering ’Zisu’ in front of her and suddenly revealed a smile.
"Junior sister, I never thought I would fall for your trick, but now I see through it, Break!"
Si Yue watched as her slender finger touched the void.
Clang!!
Ripples spread in all directions from her as the center.
In an instant, the whole world seemed to collapse, turning into countless fragments dispersing in every direction.
Si Yue looked again.
Sure enough.
Before her was now an unblemished world.
She was still in the square of the Wayless Sect.
In front of her still stood Zisu.
"Junior sister, your abilities are truly formidable. I was completely unable to detect this illusion."
Si Yue couldn’t help but speak out loud, laughing in awe.
"Senior sister, which one is the real dream, and which one is the real you? Can you truly tell?"
Zisu’s face was expressionless as she indifferently uttered these words.
Upon hearing this,
Si Yue was startled.
Which one is the real dream?
Is this not reality?
Si Yue immediately extended her hands, forming an ancient zither out of flowing qi.
With her hands, she plucked the zither strings.
Countless ripples shattered the world.
She arrived at yet another world.
It was still that square, still that Zisu.
"Senior sister, which one is the real dream, and which one is the real you? Can you truly tell?"
Zisu repeated the same words.
Si Yue, not believing it, plucked the strings once more.
Another world disappeared...
She entered another world, still the Wayless Sect square, still Zisu...
This repeated dozens of times.
Eventually, Si Yue herself became confused.
Which one...
Which one was the real world?
As Si Yue’s mind gradually declined, she couldn’t even maintain the ancient zither in her hands.
Just when Si Yue was about to break,
Suddenly, a brilliant light shone down from the firmament above, and the surrounding world shattered.
Si Yue returned to the real world.
And in the firmament above, ten suns rose into the sky.
Together with the Taiyang Star, eleven suns existed at once!
What do you think?
