Talk About Bragging, How Do You Really Have The Qualifications Of The Great Emperor?

Chapter 95: A Surging Undercurrent, the Challenge from Blessed Land (2300 words)

Who would have thought?

The renowned Crimson Melody Maiden of Vermilion Bird City is actually the chief disciple of the Sound Lineage.

If this were to be known...

I'm afraid many would either view Crimson Melody Maiden, whom they considered their dream lover, with doubt about their own life choices, or they would fight Qin Guangling and make him doubt his own life choices.

Walking on thin ice!

But as they say, fortune favors the bold.

The fee for performing as Crimson Melody is incredibly high.

Cross-dressing once is equivalent to five normal performances, which means that by cross-dressing for a month, one can take half a year off.

Who can resist such temptation?

Qin Guangling certainly can't. As the chief disciple of the Sound Lineage, he not only has to compete with the chiefs of other branches of the Three Purities Immortal Gate, but also with numerous geniuses from the entire South State.

The pressure is immense.

And cultivating immortality also requires financial resources. Without money and resources, everything is in vain.

However...

Although Qin Guangling felt ashamed the first time he cross-dressed, to the point where his Dao heart almost collapsed, he gradually adapted as he did it more and more. The sense of shame in his heart weakened each time, and now, strictly speaking, he no longer feels any shame.

Hmm.

As long as one is shameless enough, the feeling of shame cannot threaten me.

Moreover...

Nowadays, Qin Guangling occasionally experiences a certain perverse pleasure—heeheeheehee—when he sees those geniuses from other sects who usually act so arrogantly. But in front of me...

Ahem, I mean, in front of the stunning beauty I am pretending to be, they are all polite and humble, not daring to say anything harsh.

Heeheeheehee~

I really look forward to seeing their expressions when they find out that Crimson Melody Maiden is actually me in disguise.

Of course.

As much as I look forward to it, self-destruction is out of the question. Not to mention how socially dead I would be if my disguise were exposed, even just the enraged geniuses from the South State would tear Qin Guangling apart.

Phew~

Lying lazily on the warm carpet, Qin Guangling crossed his legs and waited for Phoenix Perch Tower to deliver his performance fee. Then he would go out and enjoy himself in the city.

Suddenly.

From below Phoenix Perch Tower, a clear and melodious voice rang out, "I have long heard of the exceptional musical talent of Crimson Melody Maiden from Phoenix Perch Tower. Your strings sound like heavenly music. Tian Yu has come to pay her respects and hopes that Senior Sister will not hesitate to give guidance."

Qin Guangling: ???

With lightning speed, he put his clothes back on and donned his mask.

He approached the window and looked down.

He saw petals fluttering at the entrance of Phoenix Perch Tower as two columns of women in emerald dresses, holding instruments such as silk strings and pipas, entered in an orderly manner.

The leader.

Wearing a bright red long dress, her face covered by a light veil, a red mark drawn between her eyebrows, her eyes like phoenixes, exuding a captivating charm that irresistibly attracted people's hearts.

If the Crimson Melody Maiden Qin Guangling was pretending to be was like a white orchid blooming quietly in the mountains.

Quiet and fragrant.

Then.

This girl in the pink dress was like a brilliant peony in full bloom, flaunting her beauty.

Outshining all the other flowers!

...

"It's her."

When Qin Guangling saw the girl in the pink dress, his face slightly darkened.

He knew this girl. She was a true disciple of Sublime Melody Blessed Land and one of the most outstanding among the many true disciples of Sublime Melody Blessed Land.

Born with a Spirit Body, she was perfectly suited for the path of music.

Whether it was silk strings, pipas, guzhengs, or flutes, once taught, she could master them in an instant.

After joining Sublime Melody Blessed Land, Tian Yu gained the appreciation of the sect's leader and was directly accepted as a closed-door disciple, receiving all the sect's profound teachings.

Now.

At only twenty-three years old, her cultivation had already reached the mid-stage of the Gold Core realm, and she had achieved mastery in many musical techniques of Sublime Melody Blessed Land.

It was said that if nothing unexpected happened, she had a great chance of succeeding the position of the leader of Sublime Melody Blessed Land in a thousand years, becoming a prominent figure in the South State.

"She's here to challenge me!"

Qin Guangling's face darkened slightly. After all, he was a fox of a thousand years; there was no need to sing ghost stories.

He had just finished playing the Clear Cloud Ethereal Melody, and now Tian Yu appeared to challenge him, clearly intending to step on his reputation and climb another step up.

After all.

There are only a few places in the entire South State where the inheritance of musical techniques is strong.

The Sound Lineage of the Three Purities Immortal Gate, although it has long since declined and cannot compare to its former glory a thousand years ago, is still regarded as a place of refined musical artistry in the hearts of many geniuses.

Qin Guangling's alter ego, the "Crimson Melody," is also a renowned master of music in the Vermilion Bird City.

In comparison,

Although Tian Yu is the rising star of the Sublime Melody Blessed Land, her fame outside of the Sublime Melody Blessed Land is far from comparable to that of the Crimson Melody.

You see,

For cultivators of the path of musical rhythm like the Three Purities Sound Lineage and the Sublime Melody Blessed Land, the price they charge for performances is directly proportional to their fame.

The Vermilion Bird Tower,

where many geniuses of the South State gather to discuss the Dao, is the fastest source of gossip.

The Crimson Melody,

is the musical prodigy that countless geniuses in the South State admire and dream of, and she carries an aura of divinity.

If Tian Yu can surpass the Crimson Melody in a musical battle at the Phoenix Perch Tower, then from this day forward, she will instantly become famous throughout the entire Vermilion Bird City.

In the future, she will be invited to perform at a much higher price, at least several times higher.

Moreover,

the fame of the Sublime Melody Blessed Land can also be elevated to a higher level through this opportunity.

Who knows,

she might even be able to establish something like the "Phoenix Perch Tower" and make a fortune.

In addition, the South State Ancient Saint Academy is about to open, and the allocation of enrollment spots will be based on the quality of disciples from various Grotto-Heavens, Blessed Lands, and ordinary Immortal Gates.

There are many outstanding geniuses among the disciples of the Immortal Gate.

Therefore, the Ancient Saint Academy may give you a few more spots for further study.

If the disciples of the gate are not up to par and talent withers, then the original spots may be reduced.

800 years ago,

when the last academy opened, the talent of the Three Purities Immortal Gate declined, and according to reason, the number of spots should have been reduced.

But it was precisely because the Three Purities Immortal Gate was full of loyal and brave individuals who fought at the forefront against the Sea Demon Island, that the battle against the Demon Race 800 years ago went so smoothly.

They occupied the moral high ground.

During that era when the Demon Race had not been completely eradicated, no one dared to target the Three Purities Immortal Gate and make the allies feel cold.

In addition, the newly appointed head of the Three Purities, Zhuo Canglang, made a scene at the Immortal Gate Alliance Conference, causing a stir and creating chaos.

As the head of a sect, he even disregarded his own face and publicly shouted for support and protection.

In the end,

when the previous academy opened, the number of spots for cultivation in the Three Purities Grotto-Heaven was not reduced by much.

However,

even glorious achievements will fade over time.

800 years later, no one remembers the heavy price the Three Purities Immortal Gate paid to fight against the Demon Race.

Or perhaps they remember, but pretend not to.

They only know that the opening of the academy represents endless opportunities and benefits.

There are limited spots available.

If you want to fight for more enrollment spots, you can only snatch them from other forces.

And now, the declining Three Purities Immortal Gate, which is clearly on the decline, still occupies a prominent position among Grotto-Heaven level forces in terms of enrollment spots.

If it is not targeted, then who will be?

Now,

I'm afraid that the Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands of the South State are all secretly eyeing the Three Purities Grotto-Heaven.

Once they have the opportunity,

they will do everything possible to take a piece of the pie from them. The interests of the Phoenix Perch Tower and the spots in the academy are at stake.

The Sublime Melody Blessed Land,

a mere Blessed Land-level force, dares to be so arrogant and presumptuous. There must be a Grotto-Heaven-level force behind them secretly exerting influence.

This wave may just be a test.

But if it is not handled well,

I'm afraid that in the future, there will be more and more troubles coming to the Three Purities Immortal Gate.

After realizing this,

Qin Guangling's already unpleasant expression became even more grim.

It seems that he cannot refuse this competition.

After all, behind him are thousands of fellow disciples, as well as the dignity and interests of the entire sect.

...

At this moment,

Qin Guangling, dressed in women's clothing, stepped out of the attic without hesitation.

With a tragic air,

like a general donning armor and rushing to the battlefield.
