Chapter 1307: The Broken String of Fate
When the spirit of the zither did not resist, Chen Mobai found that he could easily control the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Phoenix Zither and even play the String of Fire in the state of Santongqi.
However, thinking of the horrific high temperature in the piano hall just now, which even a Jindan cultivator could not bear, he gave up the idea of trying.
After all, he came here to repair things. This zither is a sixth-level peak magical instrument. What if when he plays it, it explodes with even more powerful power and destroys the Tianfeng Valley?
Calming his mind, Chen Mobai reached out and touched the second string eye.
There is still a piece of broken string wrapped here. Judging from the material, it is obviously the seventh-level sky spider silk, but at this time it has lost all its charm, and even the avenue has been dispersed.
But with careful perception, one can still hear the faint musical notes of gong, shang, jiao, hui, yu, etc. on this broken string.
Obviously, this is the string representing the Avenue of Music.
With the help of the "Santong Qi", he quickly learned various ways to repair the string.
The simplest way is to change the strings directly, then inject the avenue of music into the new strings, and achieve perfect fit through continuous tuning.
This is how the chord of fire was repaired.
After the sixth-rank instrument refiner invited by the Phoenix Clan completed the replacement of the strings, the Phoenix Clan's successive masters infused the instrument with the power of the Great Way of Fire, and after a long period of refinement, the instrument was completely repaired until the birth of the spirit of the zither.
However, Chen Mobai was not very familiar with the art of music, so the most he could do was to change the strings.
However, after the string replacement step is completed, if there is no corresponding infusion of the power of the Great Dao, as time goes by, the string will in turn be eroded by the Great Dao of the Fire String, resulting in the failure of the repair.
In other words, both the need for a sixth-rank instrumentalist and the infusion of the corresponding avenue power of the strings need to be met at the same time.
After Chen Mobai realized this, he continued to use the "Santongqi" to think of another method.
Soon, he thought of an idea.
Because this musical string has a piece, if it can be integrated with the new string, then the repair can be completed with the help of the original remaining musical avenue.
Then set up restrictions on the new string to prevent the erosion of the fire string, and then wait for the birth of the second sound piano spirit. During this process, if Du Guangye can invite a cultivator who has mastered the great way of music in the Tianhe Realm, then this process can be shortened.
As for fusing the old strings with the new ones, as long as there is the corresponding adhesive, the rest can be done by Can Tong Qi.
Chen Mobai can also use this opportunity to save a piece of sixth-level Red Fire Silk. If he saves more, he can probably use it to upgrade his Pure Yang Immortal Clothes.
After looking at the second broken string, Chen Mobai looked at another broken string.
On the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Phoenix Harp, apart from the repaired fire string, there are only two broken strings.
Thinking of what Feng Qingshu said just now, Chen Mobai felt that this other broken string should be the remnant of the Avenue of Disaster.
He reached out and touched it, and the power of the Santongqi was activated.
There was a bang.
Chen Mobai suddenly felt a darkness in front of his eyes, and his Danfeng soul came to an unknown boundless starry sky. The sound of a phoenix rang in his ears. Looking up, he saw the horrible scene of the sky shattered and the void annihilated.
The Phoenix bird, covered in flames, roared to the sky, with its wings spread, the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Phoenix Harp hung in the air, the strings played, the Nirvana Fire burned up the vast sea of clouds, trillions of stars swayed and fell, and its magical powers were infinite.
But no matter how terrifying the power was, when it fell on the shadow at the top that was glowing with black and white light, it was like a flame sinking into the sea, and it was all extinguished and disappeared.
"Nirvana is my great path. If you practice this path, you deserve death!"
The shadow of black and white light did not look like a human, but the words that came out of its mouth made Chen Mobai feel like his soul was about to collapse and turn into nothingness.
And after these words, the black and white light suddenly lit up with a terrifyingly sharp edge and transformed into a pair of black and white swords that slashed down.
The black sword that fell first was blocked by the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Phoenix Harp. Chen Mobai saw the Phoenix Bird evolve the Avenue of Tribulations with the seventh string, trying to suppress and break the opponent's sword of the Avenue.
The two innate great ways burst out with an extremely terrifying impact in an instant, and this piece of void was directly turned into nothingness.
If Chen Mobai had not been right behind Fenghuang, he would have been implicated as well.
Just as he was horrified and ready to retreat, he heard a mournful cry of pain.
When the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Phoenix Harp was suppressed by the black sword, the white sword that fell backwards broke through the golden-red barriers in front of the Phoenix and pierced through its left wing.
Drops of flaming phoenix blood fell towards Chen Mobai like a rain of fire. He was caught off guard and was soaked all over.
Just when Chen Mobai was wondering if there would be any sequelae, the sound of a broken string reached his ears.
After the Phoenix's body was severely damaged, its life-saving magic weapon naturally could not hold on. The most powerful string of catastrophe broke first, and then the other six strings also broke one after another under the edge of the black sword.
Violent!
However, at the critical moment of life and death, the Phoenix bird also demonstrated its powerful strength. With an unprecedented sharp scream, the broken half of the calamity string flew out from the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Phoenix Harp and pierced into the black and white figure in the sky like an arrow.
With a muffled sound, the black and white figure seemed to have suffered serious damage and was knocked out of the void.
When the Phoenix bird saw this scene, it tore off its left wing that was pierced by the white sword, and then its body was burned with raging flames, and Nirvana disappeared on the spot.
After reading these memories, Chen Mobai seemed to have empathized with them. The left wing of his Danfeng Yuanshen also felt a sharp pain of being torn apart.
"senior……"
"senior……"
……
Shouts rang in his ears, and Chen Mobai suddenly opened his eyes. He saw Feng Lizhu standing at the door of the Qin Hall, looking at him with a look of surprise.
Chen Mobai looked down and found that the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Phoenix Harp was constantly vibrating. The seventh broken string emitted a ray of light, leaving traces in the void.
This is the Dao Mark, a strong mark produced by the friction between the Dao and the void after the substance of the Dao was manifested.
[The remaining calamity path in this broken string is actually still so powerful? ]
Chen Mobai was also very shocked when he saw this scene.
You know, in the broken string of the Great Dao of Music, only bits and pieces of the Great Dao's power remained. However, the Great Dao of Disaster seemed to be unaffected by the passage of time. Even if it was broken, it still retained a level that was enough to manifest the Dao Mark.
"Senior, are you okay?"
Feng Lizhu's voice once again reached Chen Mobai's ears, and he released his right hand that was stroking the Broken String of Disaster.
"It's okay. I was so absorbed in comprehending the Great Dao of Disaster that I couldn't control myself."
After Chen Mobai let go of his hand, the Dao traces that had evolved in the Qin Hall began to slowly dissipate.
This piano hall seemed to be another world. No matter whether it was the String of Fire just now or the Avenue of Disaster now, they could only be displayed inside and could not affect the outside.
It is precisely because of this that Feng Lizhu, a Nascent Soul cultivator, can remain safe and sound.
Chen Mobai just wanted to calm down and think about what he had just seen. While pacing back and forth in the piano hall, he asked Feng Lizhu about this.
“This Qin Hall is shrouded by the power of the Wutong Spirit. Even an ascended monk cannot break it.”
Feng Lizhu did not hide this and answered.
"I see."
When he was once again amazed by the Phoenix Clan's background, Chen Mobai returned to the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Phoenix Harp, thinking of trying to use the same skill to study the other four strings that were not broken.
"Senior, just now the divine light of Nirvana appeared above the artifact, covering your soul..."
At this time, Feng Lizhu suddenly said something.
"Oh, anything else?"
Chen Mobai recalled the scene when he was covered in the blood of the Phoenix when the strings were broken during the calamity of the same sect. Because he had learned from Tong Tianzhi that there was no danger in this trip, he had been relatively relaxed when repairing the zither. Who knew he would encounter such a situation?
After waking up just now, he immediately withdrew the Danfeng Yuanshen into the Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness. Using his spiritual sense to investigate, he found that it seemed to have entered a state of deep sleep.
Is this nirvana?
Chen Mobai thought of this, but because he was a cautious person and had not experienced nirvana, he was not sure.
“When the divine light of Nirvana enveloped you, Patriarch Qin Ling turned into flames again and was sucked into the string of fire.”
Feng Lizhu thought about it and said something else.
No wonder it always feels like something is missing.
After Chen Mobai heard this, he was suddenly enlightened. When he was practicing with the monk before, the Qin Spirit had been circling around him, but after he woke up this time, it was gone.
He immediately practiced the "Santongqi" on the Fire String again, but this time, no matter how he practiced it, the zither spirit refused to come out.
Chen Mobai couldn't do anything about it, as long as it didn't stop him from participating.
He continued to reach out and touch the other four strings that were not broken.
As expected, over the long years, the power of the Great Dao that should have remained has now completely dissipated.
No wonder we can only determine the two paths of music and disaster.
Just as Chen Mobai sighed and was about to let go of his hand, he suddenly had an idea and used the "Santongqi" to trace back the four string eyes.
Although all the power of the Great Dao has dissipated now, what about when the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Phoenix Harp was just damaged?
Based on this idea, Chen Mobai gradually went back to that moment.
A pitch-black sword fell from the sky and broke the seven strings of the zither one after another.
And when it was just broken, there was indeed some corresponding power of the Great Dao remaining on these string eyes.
Chen Mobai began to sense immediately.
Theoretically, one needs to comprehend the corresponding avenue before being able to perceive it.
But Chen Mobai had been in and out of the Zixiao Palace many times and had passed the Three Thousand Avenues many times. As long as he was a little familiar with it, he could confirm which avenue it was.
Soon, the power of the Tao above the third string eye activated the immortality technique in his body, and Chen Mobai immediately realized that this was the Tao of "life".
After "birth" comes "death".
Although Chen Mobai did not comprehend these two avenues, he was familiar with them because of the Dharma Realm, so he confirmed them immediately.
As for the remnants of the Fifth String Eye, Chen Mobai had never experienced it before, but after spending quite a bit of time, he still found the correspondence of the Three Thousand Great Daos in his mind.
This is the avenue of lust.
After Chen Mobai wrote it down, he began to explore the last unknown string eye.
Although still not very familiar with it, he quickly found the corresponding avenue: the stars!
Fire, sound, life, death, lust, stars, disaster!
This is the great way represented by the seven strings of the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Phoenix Harp.
After knowing the answer, Chen Mobai withdrew from the state of fellow practitioner and began to think about how to repair it.
Theoretically, these unbroken avenues that have not been repaired can only be repaired by the joint efforts of a sixth-level weapon refiner and a cultivator who has comprehended the power of the corresponding avenue.
And there is another problem.
That is the current Tianhe Realm. Even for the highest-level cultivators who have reached the stage of perfect transformation of the spirit, the power of the Dao is extremely scarce, and requires great effort to absorb, refine, and accumulate it.
Asking them to use the power of the Great Dao to repair the strings would almost be a death sentence for them. Except for the Phoenix Clan’s own people, basically no one would risk damaging their foundation and delaying their ascension to do this job.
Chen Mobai even suspected that the repair of the Fire String might not only be the result of the Phoenix Clan's efforts, but that the sixth-level Red Fire Silkworm also made a great contribution.
After all, only after the sixth level, one has already stepped into the Great Dao. As long as one is willing, one can continuously control and use the power of the Great Dao. For a cultivator who has reached the perfection of the Spiritualization Realm, the extremely precious power of the Great Dao, in Lianxu's view, only takes a period of time.
Is there another way?
Chen Mobai continued to think, and all the knowledge of refining instruments of the Wuqi lineage began to emerge in his mind. Before he left the Immortal Gate, he had already refined all the Dao fruits on the Dan Ding Jade Tree. These sixth-level refining knowledge almost covered all types of instruments, including the zither.
Although the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Phoenix Harp was previously a seventh-level treasure for enlightenment, it is currently only sixth-level. For the Phoenix Clan, as long as they can repair the sixth-level strings, it will be a great joy.
So Chen Mobai also thought in the direction of the sixth-order strings.
Slowly, a repair plan began to form in his mind, but whether it would succeed or not would require some practice.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, how is your enlightenment going?"
At this moment, Feng Qingsu's voice came.
Chen Mobai immediately opened his eyes and stood up from in front of the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Phoenix Harp.
Outside the Qin Hall, Feng Qingsu was standing there with a few Jindan cultivators. They did not come in directly, but waited for his response.
"Patriarch Feng has arrived at the right time. I want to discuss the matter of repairing the zither with you."
Chen Mobai's words made Feng Qingsu, who had originally had no hope, raise her eyebrows slightly, and walked in with everyone with some suspicion.
The accompanying Divine Transformation cultivators included Wu Chen and others who were familiar to Chen Mobai, as well as Fanyun, a lay Buddhist from Rilian Temple, whom he had met once before in his soul, and Pharmacist Li from the Medicine King Sect.
There was only a big man with short hair and no eyebrows, whom Chen Mobai had never seen before.
