1069 Three Thousand Great Daos

That's not right either. Wasn't my body changed by the Destitute Dragon Grass? By right, my body formation should be the most perfect. If not, I would not have a ten-fold cultivation speed.

Jiang Yi thought about it and felt that something was not right. However, the Sonar Thearch's words also made sense. He was confused and gave up trying to figure it out; there was no point in thinking so much about this. If there was no way for him to become a Demigod in this lifetime, that was his fate. There was no point in going against it.

He sighed deeply for a moment and asked again. "Senior, what are the third and fourth stages of the Divine Sound Heaven Skill?"

Although the Sonar Thearch had said that Jiang Yi had to figure this out himself, there ought to at least be a direction for him to take, right? At least then Jiang Yi would not be on the wrong path; the Divine Sound Heaven Skill was not like a dao pattern.

The Sonar Thearch did not hide anything and was very generous. He said, "The third stage is where I am now. I call it the destruction of souls. Of course, this is the path that I had chosen for myself. I created a piece called the Heartbreak Melody, that uses tonality to make the enemy feel like there is no love in his life. His heart will die, and then his soul spirit will become lonely and collapse till death. I said just now that the second stage uses various methods to stir up the enemy's emotions and get them trapped in it, right?

"There are many ways to stir up one's feelings. You can make your enemy happy, hot-blooded, or sad, etc. You have to remember… if you want to enter the third stage of the Divine Sound Heaven Skill, you cannot be too greedy. You have to focus on one specific emotion and hone it till its highest form. Only then will your power be the greatest as you are focused on one specialized aspect. You will then have the chance to reach the third stage."

Although Jiang Yi did not really understand, he remembered every word that was said and formally bowed as a disciple would. "Thank you, Senior. I have learned much!"

"As for the fourth stage!"

The Sonar Thearch's face had a glorious glow again as if he was a religious fanatic. He was slightly agitated as he said, "Based on my conjecture, the fourth stage should be the peak stage of the Divine Sound Heaven Skill. Once the divine sound is released, all would sink into damnation. If the peak stage for this skill is reached, that would mean one would have understood heaven and earth's maxim and would be able to shatter the void and transcend. That would be equivalent to reaching the stage the Mystic Thearch was at back then.

"Uh!"

Jiang Yi became excited again, his mind going wild. If he could soar, could he really become an immortal that would live forever and be indestructible? What would the world of the immortals look like?

"Alright, I am tired. You are dismissed. If you need anything in the future, use the green pearl that the Shadow Emperor had given you to summon my people. However… if it is something major, you better ask for me personally. Since I have promised to do two things for you, I will live up to that promise."

The Sonar Thearch waved his hand and lowered his head, looking slightly tired. He continued to gently play his guqin. Jiang Yi did not dare to ask anymore. He bowed deeply to the Sonar Thearch. Although the Sonar Thearch was eccentric, he was really worthy of respect. This was the fanatic believer that gouged his own eyes out in order to better understand the Divine Sound Heaven Skill.

Jiang Yi continued to take steps back and walked into a teleportation formation. It automatically activated, and Jiang Yi disappeared from the valley.

Sigh!

Once Jiang Yi had left, the Sonar Thearch raised his head and gave a deep sigh. He slowly raised his head and looked at the direction where Jiang Yi had departed from. He paused for a long time and sighed again. "This lad is pretty gifted. However, he is a little too reckless and doesn't know the importance of forbearance. If he was given a few decades, he could probably actually reach the fourth stage. Unfortunately… I am not sure if the North Thearch would give him so much time."

When Jiang Yi reappeared after his meeting with the Sonar Thearch, he became sought after by everyone. Being a disciple of the Sonar Thearch had elevated his status immediately. His status was even significantly higher than Tang Ming's.

The martial artists of clans from the ten-odd nearby regions especially—all personally came over to drink with Jiang Yi as a form of respect. The people from the Chen Clan were even more polite and courteous to him. Even Zhan Tianlei also started to look at him differently.

The Sonar Thearch's eccentric temper was well-known. Back in the days, the Yin Thearch had wanted to send one of his daughters to train under the Sonar Thearch. That daughter was Yin Ruobing's little sister, Yin Mengwan. Yin Mengwan was naturally gifted and loved musical instruments when she was young. She was very obedient and cute, and the Yin Thearch was very fond of her. However, the Sonar Thearch had met her once and said in front of all that was present that Yin Mengwan did not have a gift for music, and that he would never accept her as a disciple. He was not even the slightest diplomatic about it.

Over many years, countless people had come to Divine Sonar Valley to ask to be the Sonar Thearch's disciple. However, except for the Chen Clan's Grand Elder, the Sonar Thearch had never accepted another disciple. According to him, if one was not exceedingly gifted, he would not waste his time instructing. However, if the person was indeed exceedingly gifted, the Sonar Thearch would even kneel down to ask that person to be his disciple.

It was very evident!

Yi San from the Tang Clan was gifted! He had already displayed his mystical abilities just now in front of everyone. Now that he had become the Sonar Thearch's disciple, his prospects were unlimited. He would at least be able to have six- or seven-star battle abilities easily. If he went even further, he could even become another Sonar Thearch.

Soul spirit attacks were too terrifying. If the Sonar Thearch went to any city and played a piece, everyone in the city would definitely perish. Hence, with regard to someone who could possibly become another Sonar Thearch, who would not want to be on his good side? Even if they could not be good friends, at the very least no one would want to offend him.

After a whole day of excitement—when the sun had set, the guests all started to leave the venue. Of course, many important guests were invited to Divine Sonar City; they had come a long way. It was only right that the hosts looked after them for the night.

Jiang Yi, Tang Ming, and company returned to Divine Sonar City as well. Yin Ruobing, Zhan Tianlei, Li Hong, and company also made their way back. As the Divine Sonar Valley was too small, not many people could stay there. The majority of the Chen Clan also stayed in Divine Sonar City.

As the night passed, Jiang Yi and Tang Ming sent off another group of guests that had come to offer their congratulations and closed the door to the yard to prevent them from being further disturbed. Jiang Yi immediately turned towards Tang Ming and sent a voice transmission, asking: "Brother Tang, will today's events bring trouble to the Tang Clan?"

"Hahah, what trouble could there be? I have already arranged everything."

Tang Ming waved his hand. He had already sent a message to the Tang Clan. Within the day, the Tang Clan would probably be able to create a person such as Yi San. Tang Ming explained to Jiang Yi and then raised a thumb at Jiang Yi. He sent a voice transmission: "Brother, you are really impressive. You actually managed to become Sonar Thearch's disciple. Did the Sonar Thearch see through your disguise?"

"I think not."

Jiang Yi scratched his nose. It was for the best if he did not elaborate much about this. The connection between the Sonar Thearch and the Shadow Emperor must also remain a secret. If not, the Sonar Thearch would also become a mortal enemy of the Nine Thearch Clans.

"That's good!"

Tang Ming sent a voice transmission excitedly: "With this connection to Sonar Thearch, the matter with the two ladies should be easy to settle. You can go and talk to the clan head of the Chen Clan and ask him to come up with a solution. Li Hong would definitely not dare to offend the Chen Clan."

"There is no need for the extra hassle."

Jiang Yi smiled and transmitted a response: "I have asked Yin Ruobing for help. Three days later, you can hand the two ladies over. Before you do so, send someone to inform Yin Ruobing. She will come personally to take the two ladies."

"Eh?"

Tang Ming was slightly confused and then immediately understood. He smiled and said, "Brother, I did not think that you would have something going on with that devil from the Yin Clan. Her beauty is really unrivaled. Wait… isn't Yin Ruobing engaged to Zhan Tianlei? Brother, you are playing with fire. You should not underestimate the Zhan Clan. Although their clan only occupies one city, the Tang Clan Head had said that he would rather mess around with any other of the eight clans than trifle with the Zhan Clan!"
