The Legend of Futian

her was doing—Xing Kai was deliberately getting Hua Ye to stir him up.

“I reminded you last when you fought in the Battle of the Crimson River.
If you’re unable to overcome that obstacle of yours on your own, you probably won’t be able to move even a step further in your training.
You won’t even get to the level of True Self, let alone Renhuang Plane,” Xing Kai said to Xing Qiu.

Talent was not the only thing that mattered in cultivation, after all.

Mighty ones from all sides tried their hands one after another afterward, with the strongest of them being only able to pluck the strings five times before giving in to the pressure.

However, those who had received the Peach Invitation had yet to make their move.

Yin Tianjiao was the first among those who received the invitation to try it out.
She managed to pluck the strings on the Magic Zither six times, breaking the limit seen before, earning her praises from all sides.
Those who received the invitations were indeed different.

Shu Zi, daughter of Emperor Shu, basked in an extremely dazzling purple glow of lightning when she stepped out, looking overbearing as she resisted the pressure.
The place howled.
Devastating aura formed around her.
However, she was only able to pluck six strings as well.

Duan Wuji of Emperor Dong’s Palace made his move, and he was only able to pluck six strings.

Xiang Ze, of Emperor Xiang’s Realm, made his move after that.
The man who had been fighting his way up to the Peach Banquet dazzled all over when he moved.
However, like those before him, he too was only able to pluck six strings, earning him the praise of many.
It seemed to them that Xiang Ze was also someone who was of superb talent.

He shot a glance at Ye Futian after he was thrown back, looking rather spiteful and provocative.

No one from Ye Futian’s group made a move.

Yu Sheng shot a glance at Xiang Ze.
His eyes were overbearing as he stepped forward.

He knew little of the way of the guqin, but if it was only about plucking the strings, he thought he would be able to do the same, given how others before him managed to do so.

Boom.

Demonic might rolled as he stepped out.
Every single step he took caused the ground to shake.
His eyes were terrifying.
It was as if they had become those of demons.

He was affected when he had gotten near the Magic Zither, entering a mystical demonic space.
It was as if many great demons were charging at him.

However, as someone who trained in demonic ways, a shadow of a supreme demon seemed to have manifested on him as he stepped out in overwhelming force.

He came before the instrument and played.
Demonic might rolled, and howls were heard.

He continued to pluck the second string as if he felt nothing.

Demonic auras roared and howled.
His eyes were cold.
He then plucked the third and the fourth strings, not flinching even a bit.

The fifth string rumbled, and the place was filled with raging roars of the demons.
Terrifying waves swept all over the place.

Yu Sheng stood tall like a mountain and plucked the sixth string.

He felt an irresistible demonic will power bombarding him afterward, causing his brain to rattle.
However, indomitable, overbearing will seemed to appear in those eyes of his.

The wind howled, and the peach flowers all over him wilted quickly.
A terrifying demonic storm appeared around Yu Sheng.

“Clang…” The seventh string rattled.
There seemed to be a supreme demonic shadow appearing on the Magic Zither.
Yu Sheng shouted and looked it in the eye, remaining unflinching as he did so.
However, his body was nonetheless thrown back afterward, rolling on the ground as rumbles were heard.
His body continued to sustain the striking force as skid marks marked the ground.

“Some power indeed.”

Many shuddered.
Yu Sheng was the first to have plucked all seven strings.

However, he remained utterly incapable of genuinely mastering and playing the instrument.

Mighty ones ranked on the Regional King Ranking were indeed a cut above the others.

“There is no way anyone could master the Magic Zither just by plucking the strings alone.” A voice was heard at that moment.
Everyone turned around and saw yet another who was ranked on the Regional King Ranking.

Xie Qingshan, a prince from an imperial realm, a descendant of Emperor Xie.

Xie Qingshan looked dashing.
He had a lithe figure and looked supreme.
He said, “That has been the case with the Peach Banquets in the past.
Seven chords have always been the limit.
The end was the same, even after that.
How could the will of the saintly path resist the will of a demonic emperor?”

Ye Futian nodded deep down, agreeing with what Xie Qingshan said.

If one were to pluck the strings, there was no way one could be able to master the Magic Zither.

Since it was a guqin, mastering it probably required resonance in the way of the guqin.

However, it was apparently not easy to be acknowledged by the Magic Zither.

Chi Shang was a good player of the guqin, yet there was no-one in the royal palace capable of accomplishing the feat.
It was obvious that he was one of those people.

“No matter, Brother Xie.
Limits are meant to be broken.
There has indeed been no one capable of accomplishing the feat in the past, yet that is not to say that there won’t be anyone capable of doing it in the future.
Although it is known that mastering it is impossible, one can still try,” someone said at the side.
The one who spoke was Pei Min, who hailed from the Sword Emperor Palace from another imperial realm, and he was currently training in the Regional King Palace.

He was also Xie Qingshan’s elder brother in training.

“You’re correct, brother.
I’d like to see if you have the chance of breaking the limit of seven,” Xie Qingshan then smiled and said.

“Sure.
Regardless if I succeed or not, there is indeed no harm in trying.” Pei Min smiled nonchalantly and stepped out.

Sword wills filled the air as he moved, shrouding his surroundings.

The Sword Emperor Palace was known as the number one holy land of the sword in all of Crimson Dragon Realm.

It was where Emperor Jian—the Sword Emperor—resided.

Pei Min hailed from the Sword Emperor Palace and was currently training in the Regional King Palace.
He was also a figure who was on par with Xing Kai.
