Chapter 1185: Ensemble of Two Guqins, the Close Friend She Never Knew Existed, the West Ruler Matriarch’s Undying Elixir

The White Tiger charged forth with its full might.

Yu Zhi was on high alert with her Immortal’s Core activated, already prepared for a fight to the death. Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren in the air had already taken action.

He stepped forth and appeared above Yu Zhi.

At the same time, his Immortal’s Core energy activated, and a life, death, and reincarnation intent erupted to form a Yin Yang Life and Death Symbol, which crashed down from above!

Bam!

The void rumbled.

As soon as the Yin Yang Life and Death Symbol fell onto the White Tiger, that Ninth-grade Heavenly Immortal divine beast was brutally slammed into the ground!

“Roar…”

The White Tiger let out a low growl as its pupils trembled.

“He’s made a move!”

A look of joy and shock flashed in Yu Zhi’s eyes.

She figured Chu Kuangren would make a move but never expected him to be so powerful that he could immobilize that White Tiger with a single attack.

“Watch out. I won’t be able to hold him for long,” said Chu Kuangren.

As expected, the White Tiger’s yokai qi gradually increased and shattered the Daoist patterns on the Yin Yang Life and Death Symbol.

Having broken free from that entrapment, the White Tiger continued charging toward Yu Zhi.

Clang!

At that moment, guqin music sounded.

It was not from Yu Zhi but Chu Kuangren. He plucked the Cloud Nine Insignia in his arms, releasing waves upon waves of guqin music at the White Tiger.

Chu Kuangren was not only proficient in Guqin Dao, but he had reached an extremely high level at that too.

“A good opportunity has appeared!”

Yu Zhi’s eyes lit up upon seeing that.

She, too, started to play the guqin in her arms. With the two guqin music playing at the same time, their beautiful harmonies complemented each other so well.

At that moment, both their Guqin Dao started to resonate, turning into a guqin ensemble!

A nameless Immortal Tune was hence created!

Furthermore, the power of the guqin music was unmatched. Heaven and earth shook as the divine might overwhelmed the White Tiger!

In the face of such a terrifying power, even the Ninth-grade Heavenly Immortal beast like the White Tiger could not help but howl miserably while its body gradually broke.

When the song ended, the White Tiger was dead!

“I can’t believe the Fuxi’s Guqin fragment has such powerful resonating power,” Chu Kuangren thought.

His Cloud Nine Insignia was only but a Heavenly Immortal Weapon. However, when he was playing it alongside Yu Zhi’s guqin, the amount of power it unleashed was far beyond the level of any ordinary Heavenly Immortal Weapon.

‘If the complete Fuxi’s Guqin were to be restored, how powerful would it be?’

Chu Kuangren was secretly surprised.

However, he did not have any intention of seizing it now, not because he could not do it or because he pitied the beautiful Yu Zhi.

It was more because they were at the West Ruler Matriarch’s residence.

Being the Holy Jade Pool Maiden Sage and possessing the Holy Jade Pool Physique, he might even encounter a better surprise by letting Yu Zhi explore the area.

‘As for her guqin… it’s only a fragment of the real thing, so there’s no need to snatch it from her now.’

‘I’ll snatch it from her after collecting the remaining fragments.’

“Thanks for your help, Brother Chu.”

Yu Zhi thanked Chu Kuangren with a bow.

“Don’t sweat it, fellow Immortal. By the way, may I know where you got your guqin from?” Chu Kuangren casually asked.

“Oh, you’ve noticed it, Brother Chu.”

“Yeah.”

“This guqin is named the Immemorial Echoes, and it is somehow related to your guqin, Brother Chu. I wonder what yours is called?”

“It’s the Cloud Nine Insignia.”

“The rumors are true then.”

Yu Zhi looked surprised. “Rumor has it that during ancient Immortal time, the Human Emperor, Fuxi, once possessed a Supreme Source Treasure, known as Fuxi’s Guqin. This guqin was later destroyed in a great war, with its power separated into four guqins, which were, later on, spread all across the world. Your Cloud Nine Insignia and my Immemorial Echoes are two of them.”

“No wonder I felt a mysterious resonance when I met you the first time, Brother Chu. It must be due to this very reason.”

Yu Zhi understood everything when she figured it out. Then, she looked at Chu Kuangren with admiration in her eyes. “Other than that, your Guqin Dao is truly eye-opening, Brother Chu. It’s no surprise that the power of Fuxi’s Guqin has acknowledged you.”

Chu Kuangren chuckled. “No way. I must’ve made a fool of myself just now.”

“You’re too humble, Brother Chu.”

“Oh right, what are the other two guqins called?”

“According to my Honorable Teacher, the other two guqins are known as the Thundering Rumble and the Daybreak Lightning, but no one has any idea of their whereabouts until now.”

“I see.”

Chu Kuangren secretly noted down the names of those two guqins.

‘If I have the chance to find the two remaining guqins in the future, I’ll then snatch away Yu Zhi’s Immemorial Echoes as well.’

‘By then, I’ll be able to reconstruct the complete form of Fuxi’s Guqin.’

‘Perfect.’

During that time, Yu Zhi had no idea that the person she regarded as her close friend was scheming to snatch her guqin in the future.

She was passionately discussing with Chu Kuangren about Guqin Dao. In her opinion, Chu Kuangren’s guqin skills were far superior to her, so she wanted to take the chance to ask for his advice.

As the two of them headed toward the Immortal mountain, they had an exchange in Guqin Dao.

They also encountered many wild beasts that were living in a realm within a realm along the way, but most of them were dealt with easily.

Throughout this whole journey, both of them were only using Guqin Dao to battle their foes, which allowed them to gain a deeper understanding of each other’s guqin style and rhythm.

That made Yu Zhi feel, even more, that Chu Kuangren was her close friend.

Moreover, the nameless song that both of them came up with while defeating the White Tiger previously was getting more perfected with each time they played it, and Yu Zhi intended to give that song a name.

Hence, she asked Chu Kuangren his opinion about it.

“Let’s just call it the Tiger Slaying Song,” Chu Kuangren replied casually.

‘We came up with that song while killing that White Tiger, so let’s name it the Tiger Slaying Song. It sounds right to me.’ In fact, he thought that it was a good name for the song.

“Isn’t this a little bit too casual? Besides, the murderous aura comes across quite strong in this name.” Yu Zhi hesitated and said.

“Alright. So, what name would you like to use then?”

“Um…”

Yu Zhi frowned and pondered for a while. After that, she nodded and said, “Let’s go with yours then, Brother Chu. We’ll just call it the Tiger Slaying Song.”

Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up.

‘Is she bad at naming things like me too?’

A never-before-seen glimmer of admiration appeared in his eyes, akin to Yu Zhi’s earlier. It was as if he had found a close friend that he never knew existed.

However, he would still go after her guqin in the future.

Far away, on the Immortal mountain, the sky-prides and Heavenly Champions who entered the realm within a realm were gathered, looking at the Immortal mountain peak in amazement. A tremendous number of Immortal Herbs were growing there, with every single one of them a Top-tier Immortal Herb.

It was a land filled with tons of treasures!

“Look over there.” Suddenly, one of the sky-prides exclaimed.

One Immortal Elixir stood out the most among the others. It may look no different from ordinary weeds, but it was covered entirely in gold and brimming with crystal-like Immortal Sparks. It was undoubtedly an extraordinary item.

From sensing it a little, everyone gasped at the immense vitality contained within that Immortal Elixir. They were shocked beyond belief.

“T-This is the West Ruler Matriarch’s Undying Elixir!”

“Rumors say that the West Ruler Matriarch has an Undying Elixir growing in her residence. Be it an ordinary person or an Immortal, consuming it would allow them to attain immortality!”

Even if they were Immortals, as long as they had not ascertained their Dao and become a Primordial, their lifespan would be limited. Even an Arch Gilded Embodier could not live longer than a whole epoch.

However, those who consumed the Undying Elixir could!

One era was equivalent to one hundred twenty-nine thousand and six hundred years.

Meanwhile, an epoch was equivalent to one hundred twenty-nine thousand and six hundred eras!

How ridiculously long was that lifespan?

It was not an exaggeration to say it had the same lifespan as the world itself!

“Even an Arch Gilded Immortal would be interested in this Undying Elixir.”

“Tsk tsk. This item is certainly no weaker than the treasure in the Jade Void Palace. The West Ruler Matriarch’s residence is truly extraordinary.”
