Chapter 1082: The Road to Heaven

The Divine Sound Heaven Skill was a mysterious mystical ability. Strictly speaking, any musical ability could be counted as the Divine Sound Heaven Skill, but the attacking power would vary. Many types of music could remain etched in their audience’s memories, causing them to forget about everything else in the meantime. Their eyes would be filled with tears, their blood would pulse through their veins, and their spirits would be moved. This was where the power of the Divine Sound Heaven Skill lay.

In the beginning, when Jiang Yi looked further into the Divine Sound Heaven Skill, he felt like he had opened a window and entered a whole other magical realm. He would forget to eat or drink, where he was, and the danger that he was in with the Zhan Clan. Every bit of attention and energy he had gone into practicing the Divine Sound Heaven Skill.

This realization took him a whole three months. When Jiang Yi snapped back to reality, he thought that only a few days had passed. Later on, he realized that he had been waving the soft sword around for three whole months to create such amazing music. Combining the sounds of the sword cutting through the air proved to be a unique way of creating music.

The tune was simple, but it caused him to gain a deeper understanding of the Divine Sound Heaven Skill. Although the key was low and the sound of the sword cutting through air was hardly the most moving sound—it was not even pleasing to the ears for a fact, the sounds caused one to feel frustration in their hearts. The audience would surely grow increasingly frustrated upon hearing the tunes. They would feel an impulse for violence.

This was a new type of Divine Sound Heaven Skill that Jiang Yi created, building upon his initial skills, and the tune that he came up with using the leaf. Three months had passed before he got this song together. Jiang Yi was not too pleased, but this song would surely have greater attacking power than the ones he used before.

“I just feel like something is missing…”

Jiang Yi frowned. This new Divine Sound Heaven Skill was more powerful for sure, but it did not achieve the effect that he had been hoping for. He had hoped that the moment he started playing a song, everybody would lose their sanity upon listening to it. They would go crazy and absolutely lose their cool. This would make it even easier for him to annihilate all of them.

“That’s right—the Massacre Intent!”

An idea popped up in Jiang Yi’s mind. In the past, he incorporated the Massacre Intent into his Divine Sound Heaven Skill. This time, he did not do the same. This Massacre Intent was a powerful thing. The Divine Sound Heaven Skill would become much more powerful if he could incorporate it in.

His eyes started to turn blood red as the killing intent around his body surged. He moved the soft sword according to the pattern he had just finalized. Suddenly, the sound of wailing filled the air. This sound was much scarier than it was before. Even ordinary Heaven Monarchs would go crazy listening to it.

“I can’t incorporate it in?”

Jiang Yi had been dancing for a long time before he realized something strange. This Divine Sound Heaven Skill could not incorporate the Massacre Intent. The intent and the song just did not go well together. There was no way that he could combine them.

“That’s strange!”

Jiang Yi snapped back to reality once again. A second later, his eyes clouded over. Like a lunatic, he kept dancing and dancing. Sometimes, he kept employing the Divine Sound Heaven Skill and intermittently tried to force Massacre Intent into the skill. Again and again, he tried, completely forgetting to replenish his essence force and realize other dao patterns.

He spent countless celestial stones to enter this one-hundred-fold secret cultivation room, but he did not train even for a single day. Instead, he spent all the time looking into the Divine Sound Heaven Skill. At this moment, he was entering the dreamy state again. Perhaps he would not come back to reality until he arrived at the Mystic Thearch City. If other people knew about this, they would call him a wastrel for sure.

…

“I understand now. I finally understand now. This song frustrates people, but the Massacre Intent is filled with killer aura and carries with it blood-suckers and mad demons. The song goes totally against it—how can they be combined? It looks like I will have to change the song so that it becomes much more violent and explosive. This would allow it to incorporate the Massacre Intent and cause the enemies to become like blood-suckers and mad demons. Then, they will completely lose their sanity! Hahaha!”

About two months later, Jiang Yi suddenly laughed maniacally. He had finally resolved the problem that had been bugging him for over two months. He suddenly became extremely excited. Once he came up with a new song and incorporated the Massacre Intent into it, his attack power would definitely be much greater. Heaven Monarchs aside, even ordinary Demigods would be affected by it.

Of course, these things were just his guesses. Whether the power would indeed be that great or not would be subject to testing. What’s more, it would take him time to come up with a new song anyway. His eyes cleared up, and he looked around in confusion. He did not know how long had passed, but he decided not to care too much about it either. Once again, he danced around with the soft sword in his hand, trying to create a new song that would be compatible with the Massacre Intent.

Buzz!

Five days later, the restrictions around the walls lit up. Jiang Yi was jolted awake. He looked around in confusion and surprise. He had already paid six months’ worth of celestial stones. If there was no emergency, people would not be knocking on his door to disturb him.

He undid the restrictions around the walls and activated his divine senses. In a low voice, he called out, “What’s the matter?”

“Sir, we are going to arrive at Mystic Thearch City. We will be alighting from the ship at night.”

One of the housekeepers of the Tang Clan replied. Jiang Yi blinked several times and rubbed his eyes, trying to comprehend what was happening around him. He thought that only two or three months had passed at most. He did not think that six months had already gone by.

“Time really passes too fast. I did not even do anything. I haven’t even combined the Divine Sound Heaven Skill with the Massacre Intent. Yet, six months have passed?”

Jiang Yi sighed gently. One really could not keep track of time while training. It was no wonder it was said that ten years would pass in a blink of an eye while one is on the mountain peak! While he was training, he totally forgot to keep track of the time. With the energy elixirs, he did not even feel a tinge of hunger. That was why he felt like time had passed exceptionally quickly.

He got to his feet and touched his chin to feel how long his beard was. Then, he nodded subtly. It looked like six months had really passed. His beard was already so long. He walked out of his cabin and took a bath and then changed into black robes. He should not bother to shave. This way, he would look a bit like a middle-aged martial artist.

It was still afternoon. They would only arrive at the Mystic Thearch City at night. Jiang Yi was not in a hurry to go out. Instead, he took a four-hour nap to replenish his energy. He only woke up again as the sun was setting. At once, he activated his divine senses to scan outside the room.

His divine senses swept past the corridor easily, toward the south. Many images filled Jiang Yi’s mind. A couple of seconds later, he jumped. He saw a huge city that he had never seen before. There was also a sacred mountain that was even bigger and more majestic than the sacred mountain in the Snow Region.

A few thousand kilometers away was a huge plain that looked almost boundless. On the plane stood a big city that looked much bigger than the Buddha Thearch City. The city walls were at least nine hundred meters tall. All of them were formed using green bricks which emanated an ancient aura. It was almost as if this city had been in existence since ancient times.

Tens of kilometers east of the city sat a mountain that reached into the clouds. This mountain looked more precipitous than the sacred mountain. From afar, it looked like it was a pillar that was holding up the entire sky. Jiang Yi could not see the peak of that mountain—it was covered by the clouds.

The special thing about this mountain was the pathway that led to its peak. The entire pathway went around and around the entire mountain in one long, unbroken path. It was obvious it was dug into the mountain itself, and a flat platform paved the way up the mountain. The clouds that were blocking the mountain peak also blocked a portion of this pathway. Jiang Yi thought that it resembled the road to heaven. He imagined that if he followed this path all the way to the end, he would end up in an immortal realm.

“What miraculous work!”

The more Jiang Yi saw, the faster his heart raced and his blood ran through his veins. His entire mind became filled with the Mystic Thearch’s journey to the top of the mountain. In the past, everyone in the city below him gathered at a plain field and bowed down to him as the Mystic Thearch ascended the mountain. That was such a strong and mighty period in history. Only someone like the Mystic Thearch would have managed to conquer the majestic city and mountain.

“There are so many people. I’m guessing there are at least a million people down there.”

Jiang Yi’s heart sank. There were Heaven Fate Canopies all over the plain below the Mystic Divine Mountain. It was almost as if a billion-strong army was waiting there. The canopies were all densely packed, and there was no way that Jiang Yi could see where they ended. There were still many lower-grade and poor martial artists who did not have Heaven Fate Canopies. They were just seated along the plains, not moving as if they were deep in meditation.

“Mm… I sense a few Demigods’ auras. In fact, there are many of them!”

Jiang Yi entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man and surveyed the crowd. In this state, he was very sensitive to all the different powers. Some Demigods there did not even have an aura about them. Jiang Yi felt his heart sink further. There were so many people and so many Demigods. Could he make it to the top of the Mystic Divine Mountain and into the Mystic Divine Palace?
