As the news of the opening of the Ruins Realm spread, various forces, large and small, arrived one after another. This desolate city that was usually no one cared about suddenly became the center of the Qi Dynasty.
Countless voices are heard in the Ruins City every day, most of which are about when the Ruins Realm will open, and some are discussing the banquet at Haitian Pavilion.
Although most of the forces are not qualified to be invited to Haitian Pavilion, the news that the Seventh Prince will hold a banquet at Haitian Pavilion has already spread in Xucheng. It can be said that everyone knows about it.
At this moment, in an open-air restaurant in Xucheng, many people were talking about the banquet at Haitian Pavilion.
"I heard that the Seventh Prince has a cheerful personality and likes to make friends from all over the world. He gathered all the top forces in Haitian Pavilion. He must have wanted to see the style of the current generation." Someone said loudly.
Many people nodded in agreement. Such a major event as the Ruins Realm is too rare. It is indeed a very rare opportunity to attract countless forces.
"The territory of the Da Qi Dynasty is vast, but there are countless geniuses in the core area. Coupled with the geniuses of the five major palaces, it is really dazzling. I don't know which talents are at the top."
Someone suddenly lamented that in every era there are many famous people, but there are always only a few people who truly stand at the top, and the light of those people is the most dazzling in the era.
More than 20 years ago, only four people stood at the top, overlooking a generation.
Only one person stood up, looked at the crowd around him and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about the distance between the five major mansions for now. Let's just talk about the core places. Which people of this generation do you think are qualified to stand at the top?"
After hearing this, many people's eyes flashed with light, as if they were interested, and many names flashed in their minds.
"Lin Rui, Young Master of the Lin family, definitely occupies a place." Someone said.
Many people nodded in agreement, but some shook their heads, and someone said: "Although Lin Rui's talent is outstanding, it is inferior to that of his brother. I don't think he is qualified to reach the top yet."
"Of course, this is just my own opinion. Maybe I'm wrong." The man added, naturally not wanting to argue with others.
"Every generation of the Wang family in Tianyang Mountain has someone who reaches the top. The most outstanding person of this generation is named Wang Yi. He should be able to do it in the future." Another voice came out.
"Wang Yi, let's not talk about it. At the canonization ceremony in Qianyuan Palace a few days ago, he lost a competition. The opponent was still a Tiangang figure. With this defeat, he is definitely not qualified to stand on the top." Immediately.
Someone objected.
"How could such a thing happen?" Many people looked in disbelief. In their impression, Wang Yi had always been the spokesperson of genius, but he was defeated by someone who had transcended his realm. This defeat directly dropped him from the altar.
At this moment, in a peripheral area of the restaurant, a young man in white was drinking by himself. He looked leisurely and contented, but in fact he had been listening to the conversation of those people. When he heard Wang Yi, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
.
No one would have thought that the person who defeated Wang Yi was right next to them.
After Xiao Muyang left Haitian Pavilion, he found an inn to stay in Xucheng and came to the restaurant to drink every day. After all, the restaurant is the place where news is transmitted the fastest, and he can know a lot of things here.
He left Haitian Pavilion not only to avoid Lin Rui, but also for the purpose of inquiring about Beihu County.
All the five major mansions would come to the Xu Realm. If the forces from Beihu County arrived, he would be able to see them in the Xu City, but at Haitian Pavilion he would only be able to see people from the Donghua Palace.
Then the crowd named some more names, all of which were famous geniuses. Many of them were acquaintances of Xiao Muyang, such as Qi Chang, Qi Yu, Bai Yunshu, and Yan Yuchen.
However, they have not been recognized by everyone.
Although this does not mean that they are not excellent, it does mean that the brilliance they currently display is not enough to conquer everyone. They may only shine in a certain field, but it is not enough to dominate a generation.
"There is one person who is qualified to stand at the top."
At this time, a loud voice came out, causing a brief silence in the restaurant. Many people looked at the person who spoke, and saw that his face was calm and composed, as if he recognized the person's strength.
"Who is it?" one person asked curiously.
"Shao Bao of the Divine Hammer, Chao Yi." The man spat out a voice.
"Shaobao God Hammer!"
Everyone's expressions were frozen there. It was surprisingly quiet this time, and no one spoke.
At this moment, Xiao Muyang raised his head, with a look of surprise in his eyes, wondering who the Divine Hammer Shaobao was, but no one refuted him.
Could it be said that his talent is more outstanding than those before him?
"Speaking of which, he has been in the palace for seven years. I don't know what level of cultivation he has reached now." Someone finally said, breaking the quiet space.
"Even if we haven't reached the peak of the celestial phenomena, we are certainly not far behind." Another person said.
"I wonder if he will appear in Xucheng this time. He has disappeared for seven years. Once he appears, he will definitely cause a huge sensation."
"If he appeared, I don't know how many geniuses would be eclipsed." Someone said: "If he had been born twenty years earlier, it would have been an era of five geniuses."
"It's possible." Many echoes came out.
Hearing this, a strange light suddenly flashed in Xiao Muyang's eyes. These people actually compared him with the four great geniuses of the year. Is his talent really that strong?
Then everyone came up with some more names, but none of them could compare with the God Hammer Shaobao. This made Xiao Muyang become very curious about the God Hammer Shaobao, and wanted to see what kind of genius he was.
After a while, Xiao Muyang left the restaurant and returned to the inn where he lived.
When night falls, the stars are dotted, and the starry sky looks particularly beautiful, like a beautiful picture, but few people have the time to appreciate this beautiful scenery.
In the inn, the sound of a piano suddenly floated out. There was a strong sense of sadness in the music, which made the quiet space feel a bit desolate.
Xiao Muyang was practicing with his eyes closed. When the music of the piano came to his ears, he opened his eyes, and there was a strange color in his eyes. It was such a sad music. What has this person experienced?
With a trace of curiosity, Xiao Muyang walked out of the room and walked in the direction of the sound of the piano.
After a while, Xiao Muyang came to the garden behind the inn. There was a pavilion in the center of the garden, and a young woman was playing there.
Xiao Muyang looked at the woman, but did not get close. He stood there and listened quietly. His eyes closed at some point, and he felt the emotions conveyed in the music with his heart.
From the sound of the piano, he seemed to see a weak woman sighing to the sky. Even though she could not change her fate, she still used her actions to fight against it. This scene was so poignant that it made people feel infinite pity in their hearts.
"What has she experienced?" A thought suddenly flashed through Xiao Muyang's mind.
Although the artistic conception of the piano music itself is very sad, this woman is able to interpret the artistic conception of the piano music to such an extent, which shows that the emotions in her heart are connected with the artistic conception of the piano music, and it is very likely that she feels the same.
Finally, the music stopped and the space became calm.
The woman raised her head, looked at Xiao Muyang's figure with her beautiful eyes, and asked, "Do you also know how to play the piano?"
"I understand a little bit." Xiao Muyang responded.
"What do you think of this music?" the woman asked.
"It's very sad." Xiao Muyang replied with two words.
The woman suddenly lowered her head and did not speak again. I don't know if it was because of Xiao Muyang's answer or for other reasons.
"Although I don't know what the girl has been through, nine out of ten things in life are not what you want them to be. Many things seem terrible, but if you think about it from a different perspective, you may have different feelings." Xiao Muyang comforted her.
"A different angle?"
The woman raised her head again, looked at Xiao Muyang and asked, "What about?"
"For example, I provoked a powerful enemy, and I worked hard to improve my strength in order to take revenge. In the end, my strength surpassed him and I successfully took revenge. Does the girl think this is a bad thing or a good thing?" Xiao Muyang asked with a smile.
The woman's expression suddenly froze there, and she was speechless for a moment.
"Maybe you are right, but some things, once they happen, will lead to an abyss, and there will be no chance of turning back." The woman said in a disappointed tone, lowering her head again.
Xiao Muyang took a deep look at the woman. He didn't expect her to be so pessimistic. It seemed that she was facing a very bad situation.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Muyang suddenly said: "Tonight, the girl gave me a song. I have nothing to give in return, so I gave you a song in return. I wonder what the girl wants?"
"It's up to you." The woman replied, seemingly not interested.
Xiao Muyang sat on the floor, with a guqin appearing on his knees. Then he plucked the strings with his ten fingers, and wisps of piano sound floated out in the space. The melody was beautiful and the rhythm was brisk, making people feel very happy.
After hearing the sound of the piano, a flash of light appeared in the woman's beautiful eyes, and she looked at Xiao Muyang in surprise. Did she only understand a little bit?
Notes bloomed on the strings, without using any spiritual power, just the purest sound, which was still very moving. The woman couldn't help but close her eyes and immersed herself in the world of the sound, with a peaceful and peaceful look on her face.
The music played by Xiao Muyang at this moment is very romantic and beautiful. It tells the story of a pair of lovers getting to know each other and falling in love. The protagonists of the story are him and Hua Qianyu.
After a while, the music subsided, Xiao Muyang looked at the woman in the pavilion, and asked with a smile: "Is the girl's mood better now?"
"It's better, thank you." The woman thanked her.
"You're welcome, I'm just playing a song." Xiao Muyang said nonchalantly.
"Don't you know the name of the young master?" the woman asked.
"Gu Xiao." Xiao Muyang replied.
"Listen to the zither music that the young master just played, I don't know a thing or two about qin music. Among your peers, there are not many people who can compare with you." The woman stared at Xiao Muyang with her beautiful eyes and said.
Seeing the look from the woman, Xiao Muyang looked a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject and said, "You've given me an award, I don't know her name."
"Lin Yi." The woman responded.
"Lin Yi." Xiao Muyang repeated it softly. It's a nice name, and it really lives up to its name.
"It's getting late. It's time for me to go back and rest. I'll see you again in the future." Lin Yi said to Xiao Muyang, then walked away.
Xiao Muyang didn't say much, turned around and walked towards his room.
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.
On this day, many figures came outside the Xu City. They looked at the ancient city in front of them and couldn't help but feel a little sigh in their hearts. Is this a city with a history of millions of years?
"We finally arrived at Xucheng. Hurry and hurry up. Finally, we didn't miss the opening of the barrier." A white-haired old man at the front said with a smile. His face was covered with wrinkles and he looked very kind.
Next to the old man stood a pair of young men and women. The man had a heroic face and a tall figure, while the woman had a beautiful face and elegant temperament. The two of them stood together and seemed to be a perfect match. They were a perfect match.
If Xiao Muyang were here, he would definitely recognize these people.
The old man was Yao Ke, and the young man and woman were Situ Zhantian and Ning Lingxi.
Not only the people from Yaowang Valley are here, but also many people from Situ Family, Xuanyun Mansion, Haotian Palace and Huanxiao Palace are here.
After learning about the opening of the Xu Realm, the five major forces discussed and finally decided that Yao Ke would lead some elders and juniors to come. The leaders of the other four major forces did not come. After all, Beihu County still had people to guard it.
"Yao Lao, let's enter the city quickly, lest we run out of inns." Situ Zhantian looked at Yao Ke and said,
"Enter the city." Yao Ke nodded and said, and then led people from the four major forces into the market.
After entering the Xucheng City, Situ Zhantian looked around and saw that the cultivation levels of the cultivators around him were almost all Celestial and there were very few Tiangang people. He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart.
Now his cultivation level is only in the late Zhongtian Gang. Although he is already considered a top genius in Beihu County, he has been eclipsed by the Daqi Dynasty, and has no sense of existence in the Xu City.
However, he also understood in his heart that today's Xu City gathered powerful men from all the major forces of the Qi Dynasty, and there must be many talented people. It is extremely normal for his cultivation to be inconspicuous.
They came to Xucheng from Beihu County this time because they wanted to gain some knowledge and admire the outstanding figures of the Qi Dynasty.
"I wonder where Xiao Muyang is now. He should also come to Xucheng." Situ Zhantian suddenly said.
"If the Taihua Dao Sect has arrived, then the palace master has arrived." A voice came from the side, and the person who spoke was a handsome young man. This man's cultivation level was the same as that of Situ Zhantian. He was also in the late Zhongtian Gang, and it was Ren Tiange.
"Taihua Daozong is the top force of the Daqi Dynasty. Mu Yang will definitely come with the Daozong people, but there are too many forces coming to Xucheng, so it is unlikely that we will see him." Yao Ke smiled.
said.
"Now he should be shining brightly in Taihua Dao Sect." Ning Lingxi said softly.
"With the talent of the Hall Master, you will never be mediocre anywhere." Ren Tiange said with a proud expression. Although Xiao Muyang has resigned as the Hall Master, in his mind, Xiao Muyang will always be the Hall Master!
