"Eldest Brother hasn't used a musical instrument in a long time."
Li Tianqi headed back toward Deston Prefecture with the heavy treasure originally meant for Li Tianyi, without the slightest hesitation.
The sound of the zither lingered behind.
Aside from the regret for his sister who hadn't returned home, it also made Li Tianqi rejoice for his Eldest Brother.
"Eldest Brother's zither music carries the conceptual intent of laws; he truly lives up to his title as the Son of Azure Cloud from back then."
Hundreds of years ago, Li Tianyi was originally a musician.
Besides the zither, he was also proficient in various musical instruments like bells, drums, and chimes.
This was a rare Dao path, even scarcer than the Scholarly Dao.
Musicians integrated Spiritual power into their music, mostly specializing in attacking the mind and soul, assisting others in cultivation, or using Spiritual arts in war to fill soldiers with Spiritual power and make them fearless in battle.
Upon reaching the Golden Core realm, the usefulness of musicians diminished.
They weren't even needed on the battlefield, being less useful than Talisman Masters and Array Masters.
This led to most musicians mingling in taverns and brothels, merely performing for a living.
Many scholarly cultivators in the world knew a few musical methods, but in the eyes of outsiders, the Spiritual power of musicians was simply ignored.
Because even if they spent their entire lives, they couldn't cultivate the most important thing for a musician: "conceptual intent."
The conceptual intent of the Dao of Music was even harder to cultivate than the conceptual intent of sword cultivators.
The formidable musicians in the world were just mighty figures of the Scholarly Dao, casually creating music with the Spiritual power of heaven and earth.
As for those who truly achieved the Dao through "music"...
There were none.
"I was originally worried about Eldest Brother's safety.
Now, even if Eldest Brother is in the Shadowfell Prefecture, this kind of conceptual intent has long allowed him to blend into heaven, earth, and nature.
As long as others don't search carefully, they won't be able to find his traces."
Thinking back to the piece his Eldest Brother played at the very end to let him leave in peace, Li Tianqi felt much more at ease.
Then, gripping the spatial ring in his hand tightly—which contained the "Void-Breaking Pill" and the "Void-Soul Exchanging Dao Technique"—Li Tianqi's eyes became like sharpened swords.
"Eldest Brother, just wait a while. I will collect their heads shortly."
At this moment, beside Li Tianqi.
Li Wei didn't know whether to be happy or sad; his expression was complex.
These three brothers had engaged in mischief all their lives. By this time, they should have been staying in a tomb. Li Wei truly felt it would be better if they continued their mischief.
[Your descendant Li Tianyi sat in comprehension for over ten years, his heart filled with sorrow, unwillingness, and regret.
Recalling the days of killing geniuses in the Azure Cloud Pavilion, where one man and one zither slaughtered a thousand people.
Picking up the zither strings once more, he entered conceptual intent through the Dao, obtaining the special profession: Music Venerable.]
[Integrating the Dao into sound, the Dao sound enters the soul.
Even shielding the six senses, six roots, six dusts, and eighteen realms cannot evade the sonic methods of the Dao of Music.
The musical methods of the Music Venerable control the laws.
The sound of music is omnipresent, killing people formlessly.
When glimpsing the laws of heaven and earth, using music to attract the Spiritual power of laws can assist others in glimpsing the laws of heaven and earth.]
As expected, Li Tianyi was a genius to begin with, but there were too many seniors in the Profound Seals Talisman, and their knowledge was too vast.
Although it had been of great help to Li Tianyi over the centuries, it conversely gave him a bad habit: "laziness".
Now, the genius of the former Son of Azure Cloud has stepped back into the light.
Compared to Li Tianyi, Li Tianqi's aptitude was somewhat inferior.
Li Tianqi belonged to the type of cultivator whose "misfortune and fortune depend on each other"; the more he experienced near-death situations, the more he could comprehend.
"Tianqi has also been at the peak Divinity Transformation realm for hundreds of years. Yaotie has also forged new pseudo-Void Refinement materials.
Over the years, having received the array formations taught by He Hao and the High-Grade Dharma Treasure 'Talisman Array Golden Bamboo Slip', after breaking through to the Void Refinement realm and waiting for his Array Dao to break through to Grade 4, he can also become the clan's number one Array Mystic Master."
Amidst the murmurs.
Li Wei also closely followed Li Tianqi, heading toward Deston Prefecture.
The heads Li Tianyi spoke of were none other than the heads of the old thing from the Yun Clan and the leaders of Bi Shihu's three armies.
The situation in Deston Prefecture was complex.
According to the intelligence the clan had previously gathered, Min Tiange's shadow was omnipresent.
The clan had been secretly investigating. Until the time they could deal with Min Tiange, they truly couldn't let him know that the Li Clan was investigating him in secret.
After all, Min Tiange and the Nirvana Sage Elder had spent decades fighting over the Mahayana opportunity. No one knew if they could become true Mahayana experts.
As for Li Kuanghua, who was under house arrest, despite her careless appearance, her mind was meticulous. Otherwise, Li Wei would have long since tried to find a way to take her away.
