Seeing this scene, Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument couldn't help but feel a tinge of regret. This was the cultivation atmosphere that great power should have.
Compared to the Zixiao Palace, the Qianqin Mountain was far inferior.
However, Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument knew that to close the gap, it was impossible. After all, Profound Moon Island's resources were too limited and could not be compared with his. To strengthen oneself, the most important thing was to obtain sufficient resources.
If there was a day when the Qianqin Mountain could unite the entire Profound Moon Island, perhaps he would be able to do this.
However, the Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument was also very clear about the current situation of the Profound Moon Island. The gap between the Four great power s was actually very small, and no one could do anything about it.
But if there was a power that had truly stood at the peak of their power and was able to suppress everyone, then that power would become the king of the Profound Moon Island.
And this hope, was all on Qin Zhu alone.
He believed that Qin Zhu had sufficient Inherent Skills. In time, he would definitely be able to do this.
Very quickly, the three of them arrived at a palace. The guard stood outside the palace and did not enter, and cupped his fists towards the Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument, "The elder is already inside, the two of you can directly enter."
"Yes." Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument nodded slightly, then led Qin Zhu into the palace.
A middle-aged man sat at the very top of the palace. He appeared to be around forty years old, and his eyes were shining brightly.
"Profound Moon Island's Qianqin Mountain's Mountain Lord has come to pay his respects to the elders!" Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument walked to the center of the hall, and cupped his hands to the middle-aged man.
"Junior Qin Zhu greets senior Zixiao Palace!" Qin Zhu bowed towards the middle aged man, appearing extremely humble and polite.
"The two of you came all the way from Profound Moon Island, and are not related to my Zixiao Palace at all. I wonder why you suddenly came to pay your respects." The middle-aged man calmly stated. He naturally knew the purpose of the two's visit, but he did not take the initiative to reveal it.
Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument's eyes flashed with deep meaning. As expected of the old cunning fox, he pretended to not know anything and waited for them to speak first.
In this way, it became even more obvious that they were begging for someone else to do something, and their attitude became even lower.
"The reason I came to visit this time, is because I have a request for you." "This is my foster son Qin Zhu, his talent in the zither is satisfactory, no one in the same generation in the Profound Moon Island is his match, and as everyone knows, the zither technique of the Zixiao Palace is the strongest in the entire Xihua Islands, so today he was specially brought to this place, hoping that Sir can find some time to guide his zither."
Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument's words could be said to be just right. Not only did it expose Qin Zhu's extraordinary appearance, it also praised Zixiao Palace and claimed that he was number one in Xihua Islands, pushing him to the highest point.
Furthermore, the Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument was only asking the elders of the Zixiao Palace to give them some pointers, to lower the level of being the leader of a faction to the lowest level, and to admit that he was inferior to the other party.
If it were anyone else, they would not have been able to refuse his request.
"The Profound Moon Island is peerless in its generation?" The middle-aged man's gaze fell upon Qin Zhu, who was below him. His eyes seemed to contain a trace of profoundness.
Even his most outstanding disciple did not dare call him Wushuang, so should the name Wushuang be used on him?
However, the Profound Moon Island is just a small island, there are probably only a few people with extraordinary talent, maybe they really are peerless.
However, the middle-aged man didn't reply to the Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument. He quietly sat on the throne, as if he was waiting for something.
Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument immediately understood what he was thinking and continued to speak: "Of course, I will not allow you to give me pointers for free this time, I have also prepared a small gift, I hope that you will accept it!"
With that, the Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument waved his hand, and a spatial ring flew towards the middle aged man.
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed, he extended his hand and caught the spatial ring, then sent a strand of his consciousness into it. When he saw the treasure inside, a brilliant smile bloomed in his eyes, as though he was satisfied.
He did not expect that although these two people were born of ordinary backgrounds, the treasures they prepared were not ordinary. One piece, two high rank imperial weapon s, and ten middle rank imperial weapon s were not something that could be casually taken out.
There had been many people who had come to pay their respects before, but the things they had prepared were not as good as the ones these two had prepared.
Looks like they really wanted to borrow the strength of the Zixiao Palace s to stand out amongst the battles of trials.
Thinking about that, the middle aged man looked at Qin Zhu, and said: "I am called Qing Yan, you can call me Qing elder, but first show me your ability in the zither."
"Yes, Qing elder." Qin Zhu bowed, and when he raised his head, his eyes immediately changed. An extremely sharp Qi was released, it was like a sharp sword that was able to cut through everything, unstoppable.
At the same time, an invisible storm power gathered and turned into specks of light that surrounded his body. Qin Zhu's entire being seemed to be bathed in light, the spatial spirit energy revolved around his body, as though it was attracted by some kind of energy.
"Hmm?" Qing Yan looked at the bizarre scene in front of him, his eyes finally revealing a hint of seriousness, as he stared at Qin Zhu's figure.
This kid did not seem to be simple!
Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument also looked at Qin Zhu. Although his face did not reveal much of an expression, his heart was still somewhat nervous. Whether or not he could come into contact with Zixiao Palace's Palace Lord any further, would all depend on him.
"Clang!"
As Qin Zhu's finger landed on the zither string, a metallic clanging sound was heard. Abruptly, an incomparably terrifying shockwave erupted forth, causing the space in front of him to tremble violently, as an incomparably ear-piercing sound of explosion rang out.
However, it did not stop there. Qin Zhu closed his eyes, as though he had entered the state of the sound of zither, his ten fingers continued to jump on the zither strings, the clear and pure sound of zither was released, causing everyone's heart to want to resonate with the sound of zither and be intoxicated with it.
Qing Yan also closed his eyes and listened to the sound of zither quietly, no emotions could be seen from his face.
The sound of zither s gradually became high-spirited and exciting, causing people's minds to be filled with illusions. Tens of thousands of soldiers galloped across the battlefield, with countless of them giving their all, waving their long halberd blood to fight, slashing their heads, spilling their blood, all for the country, for their loved ones, sacrificing their lives at all costs, just for the peace.
In addition to being fearless and heroic, this melody also had a trace of unyielding tenderness mixed within. It inadvertently moved the heartstrings of others, making it difficult for them to resist this feeling.
The feelings of a nation and its blood have always been hidden deep in the hearts of many people. They would never be revealed easily, but under the influence of external forces, those feelings would occupy the hearts of many people and they might not even be controlled by themselves.
Even though Qing Yan was an Emperor Realm character, upon hearing till here, his imposing face also seemed to have softened a little.
"Enough." A voice came out from Qing Yan's mouth.
With that, the sound of zither came to a stop. Qin Zhu raised his head and looked at Qing Yan, his eyes revealing a look of confidence.
He knew that he had already done it.
Qing Yan's gaze turned over and deeply looked at Qin Zhu. After being silent for a moment, he asked: "How long have you practiced the way of the zither?"
"Since I started cultivating, I've practiced the zither for over forty years." Qin Zhu replied.
"To have such attainments in over forty years, your talent is indeed outstanding. Even among my Zixiao Palace, you are still at the pinnacle level, and there are not many who can compare to you." Qing Yan spoke again, a trace of regret in his tone.
Looks like he had underestimated the people of other islands. Although this Qin Zhu came from a small island, his talent was truly not bad.
Hearing Qing Yan's words, the Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument and Qin Zhu's hearts trembled.
In the Zixiao Palace, are they also at the top?
Qin Zhu could not help but clench his fists, his eyes flashed with an extremely dazzling brilliance. This time, the battles of trials would definitely become the focus of everyone's attention, and they would walk towards the even more powerful island!
Originally, he was not sure whether or not Qin Zhu's talent was considered at the very top within the Xihua Islands, but after receiving such a high evaluation from Qing Yan, he could finally relax!
"Have you found a place to live?" Qing Yan looked at Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument and Qin Zhu and asked.
"I've found it. It's in the Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant." The Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument laughed. Qing Yan asking about their residence was obviously because he valued them a lot.
"Since you have found them, then continue to live there. In addition, I will inform Palace Lord of your situation, and at that time, the battles of trials will protect you. With my Zixiao Palace's protection, you will not be able to escape from the top 100!" As one of the First-class forces s, Zixiao Palace naturally had absolute power and resources.
Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument's expression was overjoyed, and quickly cupped his fists: "In that case, thank you brother Qing!"
The title Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument called Qing Yan unconsciously changed as well. Changing from Sir to Brother Qing, the relationship between the two became even closer.
After Qing Yan heard the title, he did not mind it much. He had high hopes for Qin Zhu's strength and talent in the zither, maybe he would have the chance to stay in the Zixiao Palace to cultivate in the future.
However, what Qing Yan did not know was that Qin Zhu's goal was even bigger than what he had expected. He was not willing to stay in the Xihua Islands, but wanted to head to another powerful island!
"What Brother Qing means is, we don't need to meet the Palace Lord anymore?" Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument looked at Qing Yan, and asked tentatively.
"No need." Qing Yan nodded his head, "Qin Zhu's talent is outstanding enough; even if Palace Lord sees him, he would make the same decision as me."
Qing Yan possessed High Rank of Monarch Stage cultivation and a very high status within the Zixiao Palace. Other than the Palace Lord, only a few elders were on par with him, so his words were naturally of great importance.
When the Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument and Qin Zhu heard this, their hearts trembled slightly.
They did not expect to receive help from the Zixiao Palace so quickly, it had completely exceeded their expectations. The Zixiao Palace was the strongest Zither Dao power in the Xihua Islands, there wasn't a single one!
