Chapter 979 The Fight For Cloud Nine Insignia, Useless Technique, Dragon Bachelor’s Snatching Forcefully
Due to the restriction seals set up by the Guqin Crown, many other guqin masters and cultivators were denied entry. Only a handful of participants were capable of breaking through the restriction seals to get closer to the Cloud Nine Insignia for a chance to play it.
Among those qualified, Guqin Master Tian Yue was the fastest.
His figure flashed, and the Guqin Dao source energy around him rumbled as he dashed into the restriction seals. None of the seals were able to stop or slow him down.
A moment later, he appeared in front of the Cloud Nine Insignia.
“This guqin is mine.”
Delighted, he reached out to the guqin.
His fingers struck the strings, but at the next moment, the delight on his face changed.
The guqin did not move or make a sound.
“Hmph! I refused to believe there is a guqin that can’t be played. I must put more of my power into playing it!” As the look on his face sank, the source energy in his body infused into the guqin, attempting to force it to make a sound.
However, his efforts were futile. No matter how much source energy he infused in it, the Cloud Nine Insignia did not react.
“Impossible! I’m a peak-stage Half-Immortal! My Guqin Dao Source energy is only second to the Guqin Crown! Yet, there’s a guqin in this world that I can’t play? “Impossible!”
There was a mix of shock and gloom on his face.
It was then a terrifying sword intent erupted and tore the restriction seals. The King Immortal Progeny of Spiritual Empyrean Mountain, Dugu Yu, had come to the guqin.
He knew nothing about Guqin Dao, but he wanted to try if he could play the Cloud Nine Insignia. If he somehow managed to make it sound, it would be a surprise harvest.
Excited, he went up and struck the strings, but it was useless. The guqin did not react at all.
“As expected.” Dugu Yu shook his head sentimentally.
After that, he stepped aside as he was no longer interested.
The other famous guqin master broke the seals one after another and got to the guqin. Nevertheless, none was able to play it. “This guqin is an unusual one. Normal playing technique won’t make a sound from it, but using one’s Guqin Dao’s insights might work,” Qin Feng said as he placed his hand on the guqin.
He tried to gain insights into the mystical powers of the Guqin Dao contained in the Cloud Nine Insignia.
The others were intrigued by the scene.
“That’s a great idea. We can use our Guqin Dao to try and gain insights into it!”
“Maybe it will work.”
The others channeled the Guqin Dao source energy from within, including their insights of Guqin Dao, to try to play the Cloud Nine Insignia.
However, no matter what they tried, nothing worked. The Cloud Nine Insignia did not respond at all.
Further away, the Guqin Crown shook her head. “If it’s that easy, this whole event would be a child’s play.”
She did a swift scan over the crowd. The anticipation in her eyes, however, only lasted for a moment before she looked away in disappointment.
Xue Qinxin asked curiously, “Mother, what’s wrong?”
“A while ago, someone in Planquilion Immortal World successfully ascended into a Guqin Immortal, and that person’s Guqin Dao’s source energy fluctuation resonated with the Cloud Nine Insignia.
“This is one of the reasons why I held the Cloud Nine Banquet, hoping to attract that person’s attention. That person might very well be the owner of Cloud Nine Insignia. But unfortunately, I don’t see this person here,” the Guqin Crown said with a shake of her head.
Upon hearing her, Lil Fox and the Sword Crown could not help but glance at Chu Kuangren.
Others might not know, but not them.
The Guqin Immortal who resonated with the Cloud Nine Insignia was just in front of them!
However, Chu Kuangren did not react or say anything. Hence, the two of them decided to remain quiet as well.
The Sword Crown glanced at his friend, the Guqin Crown. Deep down, he chuckled and thought, “Oh my, oh my, my friend. You would never have thought that the Guqin Immortal you are looking for is just right beside you!”
He did not make it verbal, though. He wanted to see the look on her face when she found out the truth later.
Back at the banquet, the guqin masters and cultivators took turns trying to play the Cloud Nine Insignia, but none was successful.
At that moment, a dragon’s roar echoed in the sky. Jin Yi of Divine Dragon Island came to the guqin and reached out for the strings.
His source energy erupted, and he wanted to play it by force. However, a surge of powerful repulsive energy blasted him backward.
“This Immortal guqin really does live up to its name, and that’s why it is valuable enough to be a bridewealth,” Jin Yi said and smiled.
When the crowd heard him, they were curious.
Bridewealth?
What bridewealth?
However, before they could think further into it, Jin Yi grabbed the entire guqin, seemingly trying to take it by force.
Everyone was shocked
“How audacious!”
“Dragon Bachelor, how can you do that?!”
The crowd tried to stop Jin Yi from taking the Cloud Nine Insignia by force, but he returned them a fierce glare. He said coldly, “I don’t care whether it can be played or not. I am taking this Cloud Nine Insignia. Are you people trying to go against the Divine Dragon Island?”
His words rendered the crowd speechless.
Go against the Divine Dragon Island?
Not unless they had a death wish.
However, it did not alter the fact that the Cloud Nine Insignia was a rare Immortal Weapon. If they would just give it up like that, it would tear them apart internally.
“Whatever. I can’t play this Cloud Nine Insignia anyway. There’s no point for me to oppose the Divine Dragon Island for something I can’t use.”
“You’re right. Let’s just retreat for now.”
Some guqin masters stepped back with a sigh.
Even the eminent disciple of Cloud Nine Insignia Manor, Qin Feng, was forced backward by Jin Yi’s powerful aura.
Albeit unwilling, he did not have the courage to oppose Jin Yi. Aside from the forces behind the golden dragon, Jin Yi was already a King Immortal Progeny. He would never be a match.
Only a lady remained standing in front of Jin Yi. The lady wore along, black dress and had a black guqin in her hands.
“This guqin belongs to Cloud Nine Insignia Manor. No one is allowed to take it away without the permission of the manor lord or Immortal guqin,” the lady said. The lady was the other eminent disciple of the Guqin Crown, Shang Chanjuan. Rumor had it that Shang Chanjuan chose an extreme way on the path of Guqin Dao and received the cold-shoulder treatment from the Guqin Crown.
Ironically, she was the only one bold enough to stand up against Jin Yi to protect the pride and name of the Cloud Nine Insignia Manor.
“Oh? Trying to stop me, I see? Do you have what it takes?” Jin Yi smiled coldly.
Then, he raised his hand, and his rampant Dragon qi’s energy fluctuation exploded into a golden torrent that gushed towards her.
Shang Chanjuan dared not take the attack lightly. She played her black guqin strongly, her fingers dancing on the strings like heavenly demons on the loose. Guqin energy fluctuations fired towards the golden torrent.
However, the golden torrent crushed the guqin energy fluctuations and went straight for Shang Chanjuan, blasting her a few hundred meters away. Jin Yi raised his hand again, and the powerful Dragon qi transformed into a dragon’s claw, which went after Shang Chanjuan again.
“This is bad!” The look on Shang Chanjuan’s face changed.
Just when she thought she would be killed, a melodious song sounded and negated the powerful dragon’s claw attack. “This energy… It’s the Guqin Crown! You finally made a move.”
“Dragon Bachelor, you are still in Cloud Nine Insignia Manor’s property. Not only have you disregarded the rule, but you’ve even attempted to hurt my disciple. This is unacceptable,” the Guqin Crown said as she sauntered over.
“I said, I am taking this Cloud Nine Insignia.”
A figure then appeared behind Jin Yi with a tremendous Immortal aura that swept across the land.
