248: Chapter 72 Divine Music Halo (Part 2) 248: Chapter 72 Divine Music Halo (Part 2) Haiyang faced Ye Yinzhu, the white glow on her face receding to reveal her skin as white and translucent as milky quartz, her dark eyes misting over faintly.
Although it was not the first time he saw her, the grace and peerless beauty she exuded still sent shockwaves through him.
With a captivating smile, Haiyang softly said, “I haven’t let you see me for a long time, regardless of the oute of this journey, I want you to remember my face.”
Ye Yinzhu, looking rather foolish, nodded his head.
Haiyang’s beautiful face was once again enveloped in the white light, and her ancient zither had already appeared on her lap.
“Zither Emperor.
Won’t playing the zither here attract that creature inside?
Perhaps we should be more careful,” Dis said tentatively, feeling an ever-increasing pressure that left him somewhat breathless.
Ye Yinzhu responded indifferently, “Do you think that the unknown inside won’t know we have entered its territory if we are silent?
If that were the case, why hasn’t any magical beast that has entered before lived to leave?”
“This…” Dis was at a loss for words.
Zi looked up at Dis, who had Ye Yinzhu on his shoulder, and smiled gently, “Yin Zhu, go ahead and play.
I, too, am looking forward to hearing your duet.” Only he understood what Ye Yinzhu intended to do.
Ye Yinzhu smiled faintly, summoning the Haiyue Qinhui Zither from his Space Ring.
He turned to Haiyang beside him, flashing a sunny smile, and his eight fingers began to move elegantly, producing deep, humming zither sounds with quiet beginnings.
No signal was needed; the zither music was the best guidance.
Acpanied by the floating harmonics, Haiyang’s ancient zither immediately picked up a series of crisp, high-pitched sounds, like the crackling of ice.
The moment Ye Yinzhu’s hands touched the zither strings, he would pletely enter another state.
His graceful fingers delicately plucked the strings, and his classical handsomeness made Haiyang beside him feel suffocated.
This was her first time playing so closely with Ye Yinzhu, and even as a Divine Music Master herself, even having reached Green rank, she instantly felt the gap between them.
It wasn’t the gap in spiritual power but the understanding of the music.
Under Ye Yinzhu’s guidance, even though the tune “Beautiful Ghost” was very familiar to her, she needed to follow the unfolding of the music to gradually blend her emotions into it.
Ye Yinzhu, on the other hand, was different.
The moment his fingers touched the strings, he would already be merged into the hum of the strings, and any music in his hands would immediately reveal its true essence.
The deep amber sound filled with magic power not only affected everyone around but also the ancient zither being played alongside, as if an invisible force was leading them.
Haiyang’s emotions directly integrated into the zither music, with the zither playing the lead and the ancient zither being the perfect plement.
One was deep and sonorous, the other was crisp and sharp; two pletely different melodies perfectly merged in the vibration of the strings, harmonious as one.
Sitting on Dis’s other shoulder, Sura watched Ye Yinzhu and Haiyang play, his eyes filled with envious light.
He knew that no matter how hard he tried or how close his relationship with Ye Yinzhu was, he could not play a duet with him like Haiyang did!
If he could be reborn, he swore he would choose to be a Divine Music Master, selecting the most suitable instrument to plement Ye Yinzhu.
As the profound ancient zither and the dragon-chant-like ancient zither played together, the tune “Xiaoxiang Water Cloud” immediately entered a realm of rippling green waves and swirling mist.
A deep amber halo emanated from Ye Yinzhu’s body, while the green light released from Haiyang became a supportive force, guarding within the amber melody and echoing quietly.
Merging like blending colors, it seeped directly into the amber hue, deepening its color even further.
Feeling the changes in the spiritual power he had released, Ye Yinzhu’s heart couldn’t help but fill with a sense of surprise and joy.
Haiyang, who had reached the Intermediate Green rank, provided tremendous help to him during the ensemble.
It is known that the higher the magic level, the greater the gap between each rank.
Ye Yinzhu’s current strength was at the Seventh Rank Qinxin Sword, equivalent to the Initial Blue rank.
Even if Haiyang’s Intermediate Green rank was added, it was unlikely to be elevated to the Intermediate Blue rank level.
However, under the guidance of his zither music, the zither and guzheng sounds fully merged, and the spiritual powers of the two, both being string instruments, miraculously fused together amidst the resonance of the zither and guzheng strings.
Not only did the speed of the spiritual power’s condensation greatly increase, but Ye Yinzhu also clearly felt that the zither magic power they were now exerting had reached the verge of the Ninth Rank Qinxin Sword.
He firmly believed that with the assistance of two more Green rank Divine Music Masters, they might be able to break through to the Zi rank Realm right away!
He deeply knew how terrifying a Divine Music Master who reached the Zi rank would be.
The enchanting music of heaven played at varying speeds of scattered, slow, medium, fast, and scattered again, producing an ever-changing sensation through the lively overtone sounds.
This piece, “Xiaoxiang Water Cloud,” was not considered very powerful among the Divine Music Master’s repertoire, often used for cultivating the mind and soul, creating an infectious impact through the blend of emotions and the music.
The zither strings trembled in tune with Ye Yinzhu’s heartstrings, with Haiyang’s heartstrings and guzheng strings following the same rhythm.
The merged deep yellow radiance released a thirty-meter diameter halo, fully enveloping everyone within it.
The pleasing music was not just a delight to their hearing but even reached a full three-dimensional effect through the air’s vibrations and their spiritual power and breath.
The first to react was the weakest Crimson Spirit, Red Spirit, which, besides its unique abilities, had a real level equivalent only to a rank Four Magical Beast, with lousy spiritual power beyond reason.
As it entered the Ice Ring, its body had already curled into a ball, gripping Dis’s fur tightly and hanging on without daring to e down.
Yet, under the ensemble of “Xiaoxiang Water Cloud,” it stretched out again.
Enveloped by the deep yellow magic melodic influence, the fear in its eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by an obsessed look.
It stared at Ye Yinzhu and Haiyang, who were playing, and quickly moved to Sura’s side on Dis’s other shoulder through several leaps, listening intently with immense enjoyment.
A faint purple halo quietly emanated from its chest and abdomen.
The nearly Ninth Rank Qinxin Sword’s divine music magic power stimulated the Krypton Gold in its body to absorb faster; how could it not be excited?
Then came Sura, Ma Liang, and Chang Hao.
The trio simultaneously felt a certain change in their aura.
The oppressive feeling in their hearts, as if being weighed down by a big stone since they entered the Ice Ring, quietly dissipated, and their bodies seemed to lighten.
Their spirits also followed suit.
Whether it was Sura’s Douqi or the two young mages from the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans, their powers surged to their peak states in an instant.
Their senses became sharper, and everything seemed to enter a marvelous realm.
The trembling Three Ice Pole Demon Monkeys halted their steps, stunned by the dark yellow glow that transcended their bodies and enveloped them.
Listening to the moving and elegant music, they involuntarily recalled the battle with the Snow Dragon Leopard, simultaneously thinking that it was that terrifying human again—fortunately, this time he was on their side.
The oppressive atmosphere disappeared, their shivering ceased, and their strength returned.
Even the wounds on Ape Two and Ape Three, which had not fully healed, ceased to hurt.
Having lived in the Frosty Forest, when had they ever seen such magical magic?
They inevitably grew more confident in this challenge to the Ice Ring authority, and their subsequent steps became much more steady.
Both Dis and Perkins’s tension dissipated in this strange halo, and even Zi’s emotions visibly relaxed, giving a thumbs-up to Ye Yinzhu while advancing.
Playing the zither and controlling his heartstrings along with the zither strings, Ye Yinzhu suddenly discovered that he seemed to have entered another realm in maneuvering his zither music.
Typically, playing the zither involves disseminating music—the farther the zither sound reaches, the farther the zither magic’s power extends.
Depending on the sound’s volume, the range covers differently.
But at this moment, he clearly felt that while playing “Xiaoxiang Water Cloud,” perhaps because his zither magic power had greatly increased recently, he found he could directly control the coverage of the zither magic power through spiritual power.
It wasn’t restricting the expansion of the zither sound, which still spread according to the volume.
Instead, he could contain the influence of the magic, which would allow significant conservation of the originally fleeting spiritual power.
This situation was not mentioned by Qin Shang before, and he vaguely felt that this was not only related to his spiritual power but also deeply tied to his Douqi and the soul contract with Zi.
It seemed that a mixture of factors had led to an anomaly.
While playing and experimenting, Ye Yinzhu confirmed his speculations.
He controlled the dark yellow halo just right to envelop everyone at the center—thus, the Divine Music Halo from the future Zither Emperor, Ye Yinzhu, made its first appearance on the historical stage of the Ryuzakinus Continent.
With the aid of the Divine Music Halo, everyone’s mindset pletely stabilized, and all were in the best bat state.
The three leading Ice Pole Demon Monkeys instantly became active, releasing a cold blue glow from their bodies, spreading forward in a fan shape.
The thick mist instantly turned into large pieces of ice slag that fell to the ground, substantially clearing their vision.
Dis cursed irritably, “Those three idiots, what took them so long.”
Sura smiled gently and said, “Perhaps they forgot because they were scared before.” (To be continued, if you want to find out what happens next, please visit for more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
