Chapter 410: 395, Heritage Sound of Tao Ancestor.

Jiang Chen, naturally, could play the zither.

Being born into the Jiang Family, he held a noble status and received strict education since he was a child.

The six arts of a gentleman: ritual, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics. He was not to say he has achieved the master level in all of them, but he was proficient in all of them.

With the zither placed before him, Jiang Chen sat cross-legged in the void, his fingers moving, beginning to play.

"Zing——"

The plain finger lightly plucked, the zither melody flowed. The Demon Domain, which was once chaotic and demonically filled, became calm and peaceful because of this zither sound.

Underneath Jiang Chen, a group of demonic beasts that had just fallen into madness became tame as if they had lost the demonic nature in their blood under the baptism of the zither sound.

Visibly, strands of demonic energy seeped out from the bodies of these demonic beasts.

As for the Heavenly Demons, their performance was even more unbearable. They were swept away by the sound of the zither, directly shattered, and turned into strands of essence, returning to Heaven and Earth.

The zither sound was pleasing to the ear, even the Immortal Persons in the sky could hear it. Some were intoxicated by it, unable to keep from asking, "What is this zither sound?"

No one answered him, because even the Immortal Persons were affected by this zither sound and fell into a trance.

The Jade Emperor seemed to sense something, a reminiscent expression appeared on his face, clearly knowing where this zither sound came from.

The demon qi rampaged, filling the sea area, unwilling to be expelled and keen to re-corrupt these aquatic beings, making them eternally fallen. Unfortunately, no matter how turbulent the demon qi, it could not approach these aquatic creatures anymore.

Under Jiang Chen’s hand, the zither strings gradually rose to a high and sonorous sound, and in front of the eyes of the demonic beasts and all the Immortal Persons, the vast sea area disappeared into a fog.

The surroundings became dim, as if they were in the midst of Chaos, everything was blurred and indistinguishable.

The sound of the zither continued, the melody was melodious and beautiful, as if it had traveled through the Great Ancient, piercing the heart.

A cracking sound.

The darkness shattered, the Chaos was no more, the zither sound faded, replaced by white mist and a strand of sunlight.

Mists gradually rose above the sea, layers of clouds and heavenly palaces appeared one after another, overlapping and stretching far away, majestic and boundless. In the palace, there were no people at first, but then Immortal Persons came and went, and the music of silk and bamboo began.

Under the influence of the sound of the zither, a vast immortal scenery appeared above the sea, drowning out all the demon qi of this place.

Who knows how long it had passed, with a "crash" sound, the zither sound ended, the palaces and towers disappeared along with it, and the cloud vapor also retreated, and the sea surface returned to calm.

But what disappeared along with the immortal scenery was the demon qi that filled the entire sea area. Now, under the baptism of the zither sound, the demon qi here had been completely purified.

The aquatic creatures corrupted by the demon qi had also returned to normal, not only that, they received a considerable benefit from the baptism of the zither sound, they all awakened their spiritual cognition, and had the possibility of transformation into dragons.

...

"The lost sound of the Dao Ancestor, the Jade Capital Celestial Sound!"

Above Heaven Court, after Jiang Chen finished the piece, the Jade Emperor couldn’t help but sigh.

The Jade Capital Celestial Sound was exactly the name of the immortal music played by Jiang Chen, a masterpiece of Dao Ancestor.

Jade Capital refers to the Jade Capital Peak of Kunlun, this place, despite its low profile, was the Taoist Field of Dao Ancestor before he became a Taoist, and it is a Holy Land of Mystic Sect.

In the eras before the Great Ancient, before the three tribes emerged, Dao Ancestor and his friends discussed the Tao on Jade Capital Mountain. When they were happy, he composed music, Jade Capital Celestial Sound, which is an immortal music of Mystic Sect, with the ability to cleanse the mind and body and get rid of external demons.

The Jade Emperor, as a child of Dao Ancestor, had accompanied Dao Ancestor for countless years. He had been with Dao Ancestor for longer than Sanqing, knew many anecdotes about Dao Ancestor, and naturally recognized this music.

Therefore, he revealed the origin of this music without hesitation.

"Hiss~~~"

"The remnants of the Dao Ancestor’s sound, the Divine tone of the Jade Capital!"

"So, this melody is called the Divine tone of the Jade Capital, it’s incredibly strong since it was passed down by the Dao Ancestor!"

"The supreme Immortal music, truly supreme Immortal music..."

"To hear the remnants of the Dao Ancestor’s sound today, I am content even in death."

Upon hearing this, the immortals below began to stir, their emotions surging.

The Dao Ancestor, the founder of the Mystic Sect, these immortals only knew him by name, nothing more. They hadn’t even heard of his deeds, let alone see him.

Now that it was revealed that the Immortal music played by Jiang Chen was passed down by the Dao Ancestor, they naturally became excited. However, amidst their excitement, these immortals also couldn’t help but feel some envy and jealousy.

No matter how masterful the Dao Ancestor’s Divine Ability, what does it have to do with them? Who would be eligible to learn the Dao Ancestor’s Divine Abilities without being a disciple of the sage or the orthodox of the Mystic Sect?

Thus, no matter how strong or masterful the Dao Ancestor’s Divine Abilities, they could only envy.

Above the throne, the Jade Emperor looked at the expressions of the immortals, knowing what they were thinking and said languidly:

"The Dao Ancestor was benevolent, he opened the Path of Dao for all beings, first passing down the Immortal Dao of the Mystic Sect, then merging himself with the Dao to complete Heaven and Earth. Such a figure, would he truly stingy with his Divine Abilities?"

"The Dao Ancestor did not fail to pass down his Divine Abilities, you who just didn’t realize."

"The ’Huangting Scripture’, the ’Taixuan Scripture’, the ’Dao Scripture’ and many other scriptures contain the Divine Abilities left by the Dao Ancestor, meant as opportunities for later generations."

"Upon entering the sect, you were all told to recite the ’Huangting Scripture’ frequently, and read ’Dao Scripture’ a lot. Isn’t the reason utimately that they contain the Divine Abilities left by the Dao Ancestor?"

"But you, have you fulfilled this? After getting the cultivation methods handed down by your master, how many of you have turned back to dedicate yourself in studying the ’Huangting Scripture’?"

"The Divine Abilities are right before your eyes, but you didn’t discover them yourselves, and instead started blaming Heaven and Earth, thinking that you couldn’t learn the Divine Abilities because of ineffective inheritance."

"Isn’t this laughable?"

"Is the ’Huangting Scripture’ hard to come by? In the hands of every cultivator, if not everyone has a copy, it’s close."

"Today, I will tell you that not just the Divine tone of the Jade Capital, but also the Melody of Unity, the Talisman of Heaven and Earth, and other supreme Divine Abilities of the Mystic Sect, were all left by the Dao Ancestor in the Dao Scriptures. As long as you have the will, you can discover them."

"The Dao Ancestor’s inheritance is only held by the sages, such statements greatly mislead. The Dao Ancestor opened the Path of Dao for all beings, not just for the sages. The Dao Ancestor’s inheritance is in Heaven and Earth, in the Dao Scriptures, all beings in the Three Realms can observe it."

"The so-called sage is someone who has fully realized the Dao Ancestor’s inheritance and applied them in ways both innovative and enlightening."

After the Jade Emperor said all of this, the immortals immediately lowered their heads in shame. When it comes to the ’Huangting Scripture’ and other Dao scriptures, they were not only familiar with them, but could recite them backwards. After all, becoming proficient in Dao scriptures was a requirement for entry to the Mystic Sect.

If one did not know the Dao scripture, what Dao could they learn?

However, the like of ’Huangting Scripture’ only contained the principles, but no cultivation methods. Naturally, they did not put much attention into these. As the Jade Emperor had said, they often set aside the ’Huangting Scripture’ after receiving the cultivation methods handed down by their sect.

With their hands already full learning secret techniques and Divine Abilities, where would they have the leisure to read these grand principles?

But after being enlightened by the Jade Emperor today, they realized that they had missed a grand opportunity.

"Great mercy of the Dao Ancestor!" After praising the Dao Ancestor, the immortals bowed to the Jade Emperor: "We give thanks to Your Majesty for guiding us. Had Your Majesty not awakened us, we would not have known we were trading a watermelon for a sesame seed, wasting years of instruction from our sect. Truly, it’s a terrible embarrassment."

At this, the Jade Emperor simply waved them up.

Of the immortals present, aside from a select few, who was truly loyal to the Jade Emperor? So, the Jade Emperor had no intention of guiding them. If he could help it, he wouldn’t have said what he did today.

The Dao Ancestor was responsible for the Jade Emperor’s enlightenment, so he could accept the disrespect of others towards himself, but he could not tolerate dissatisfaction towards the Dao Ancestor.

I can’t fall behind now.
