Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 941 - 915: Immortal Music Palace

Tangyu said, "Guangtou Qiang, aside from the Four Beauties of Yang City, which other cultivators are highly regarded? Tell us what you know."

Guangtou Qiang clicked his tongue, took a sip of wine, and said, "Alright, gossip has always been my favorite. I wouldn’t dare say anything about other things, but when it comes to gossip, Guangtou Qiang dares to claim second place, and no one dares to claim first. I’m not just bragging; listen to me, and you’ll know."

With expressive gestures and vivid storytelling, Guangtou Qiang began speaking like a little tea boy telling a tale.

Drinking wine, eating delicious dishes while listening to Guangtou Qiang tell stories, they thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

After speaking for a full hour, Guangtou Qiang finally stopped, feeling somewhat tired.

After listening to Guangtou Qiang’s stories, Tangyu learned about the prominent young talents in Yanshan. Each of them was highly regarded, and it could be said with certainty that they would pass the selection. These people’s strength was comparable to the Mystic Law Realm Third Layer.

From this, Tangyu concluded that as long as one’s strength was comparable to the Mystic Law Realm Third Layer, they could pass the selection. With this conclusion, Tangyu felt reassured. Given his current strength, he could slay a Mystic Law Realm Second Layer cultivator, which meant he could naturally be compared to the Mystic Law Realm Third Layer.

Of course, knowing this, Tangyu’s goal was not limited to passing the selection but to have an outstanding performance during it.

Clearly, even within the Yanshan Sect, there was differential treatment. The more exceptional your talent seemed, the better the treatment you would receive. Treatment, frankly, is of utmost importance. If you could gain the regard of the Yanshan Sect, then your future would be boundless.

This contest is a fight for an opportunity, a chance at an immortal destiny.

The Path of the Immortals is contested. Countless cultivators have walked the Earth, but from ancient times to now, who has become an immortal? To this day, no one has been heard of achieving immortality. Tangyu’s ambitions are sky-high; his ultimate aspiration is to become an immortal, to seek eternal life, to pursue those ancient mythological legends.

With such grand ambitions, if he couldn’t perform well in the Yanshan Sect’s selection, it would be unjustifiable.

In general, besides the Four Beauties of Yang City, there are more than ten others who are also well-known, although not as famous as the Four Beauties of Yang City, their strength is possibly undiminished, and all have rumored to have slain or severely wounded Mystic Law Realm Third Layer cultivators as young talents. Additionally, there are more than twenty others with good reputations.

In total, there are around forty people with substantial reputations, and they are almost certain to pass the selection.

Tangyu asked again, "Guangtou Qiang, do you know how strong the prominent disciples of the Yanshan Sect are?"

Guangtou Qiang said, "This I don’t know much about because each disciple of the Yanshan Sect carries a very noble status, and the most powerful ones rarely show themselves. However, I have heard quite a few rumors. It is said that the strongest disciple in Yanshan Sect has a power that reaches the Ninth Layer of the Mystic Law Realm. Of course, this is just hearsay, and I can’t be sure. His strength is supposedly unmatched by anyone other than the Yanshan Sect Master. But the truth of this isn’t known."

"In any case, the disciples of Yanshan Sect aren’t numerous, so each one is extraordinarily skilled, possessing extraordinary means, and in our eyes, they all seem like immortals. Cough, Young Master Tang, but when I say these things, you shouldn’t think too much; just listening is enough."

Tangyu smacked his lips, didn’t say much more, ate just about enough, and got up, saying, "Let’s go."

Having settled the bill, they left the tavern, and the street was bustling with activity. Various shops had no shortage of customers coming in and out, business was booming. Even the brothels had groups of girls waving handkerchiefs at you on the street, calling out attractively, "Customer, come in and play for a while!"

This scene unavoidably gave Tangyu a feeling of having traveled back in time to ancient days.

In the Cultivation World, it’s still considered the most primitive Era of Cultivation, and technology here is still quite backward.

After wandering the street for a while, Guangtou Qiang suddenly said, "Oh, today Immortal Music Palace is fun; let’s go to Immortal Music Palace to play. Other places, we can just look around; there’s nothing truly fun elsewhere. If it’s about entertainment, Immortal Music Palace is definitely a highlight of Yanshan City, a must-visit place."

Tangyu became somewhat interested, "Oh, Immortal Music Palace? How does it say?"

Not waiting for Guangtou Qiang to speak, Luo Xiaobing just smiled and said, "I’ve also heard of Immortal Music Palace, it is indeed very famous; I’ve heard others talk about it before, saying it was marvelous."

Guangtou Qiang nodded and said, "Yes, definitely marvelous. Heh heh, Immortal Music Palace is said to be opened by the number one disciple of Yanshan, so no one dares to cause trouble in Immortal Music Palace. Immortal Music Palace, to sum it up, is a comprehensive entertainment venue. There are various shops, treasure hunts, martial combat zones, and inns for lodging. Heh heh, it even offers that kind of service." Saying this, Guangtou Qiang mischievously winked at Tangyu and the other three men.

Tangyu teasingly smiled and said, "Looks like you’re quite experienced."

Guangtou Qiang quickly shook his head and said, "How could that be? I’ve always been a decent person; there’s no way I would go to such places."

Luo Xiaobing joked with a smile, "I think maybe you can’t afford it."

Guangtou Qiang grinned: "Ahem, Miss Luo, can you not say such hurtful things directly? Alright, I admit, I can’t afford to go to places like that. Sigh, it’s so darn expensive."

Tangyu was also amused, recalling a popular saying on Earth: "It’s poverty that keeps me so pure."

Since they were bored anyway, and Immortal Music Palace was said to be so fun, they naturally had to visit.

After passing through a few streets, they saw an incredibly grand castle, almost like a small city within the city. This castle standing there looked distinctly out of place, utterly overshadowing all the surrounding buildings.

Such a magnificent castle, even if placed on Earth, would definitely be eye-catching.

The entire castle was built with snow-white giant stones and stood over a hundred meters tall. Unexpectedly, there were such tall buildings to be seen here. The whole castle appeared as a cohesive entity, with an estimated diameter of four to five hundred meters. So, it looked like a luxurious modern sports arena.

The grand, ancient gate with the words ’Immortal Music Palace’ inscribed on it emitted an aura not much inferior to the ’Yanshan City’ gate inscription. Just these characters alone gave off a hint of immortality. If you observed closely, you could even sense traces of Dao, an artistic conception of the utmost.

Zi Cang furrowed his brows and said, "I wonder which master carved these characters; I feel that comprehending the artistic conception in these three characters would yield immense benefits. Unfortunately, the conception is too profound to grasp."

Yu Feng nodded as well: "Similar to the gate characters, but clearly not by the same person. The characters on the city gate possess more immortal spirit, as if kindly written by an immortal of Daoist demeanor. However, these three characters carry more edge, like a world-class treasured sword lying dormant. At first glance, they seem ordinary, but a closer look suggests this sword is about to unsheathe."

"So, it can be inferred that the person who carved these characters must be someone domineering and not to be provoked lightly."

Each character carries meaning, with divine resonance in form, reading people’s nature through the words.

This principle is quite universal on Earth too. Tangyu nodded in agreement with this perspective.

In front of Immortal Music Palace stood two giant statues five meters tall, depicting two mighty warriors, sculpted lifelike, holding giant swords, loyally guarding there.

Though they were just two statues, they exuded a sense of majesty that made people wary of causing trouble here.

Besides these two statues, there were also twelve black-armored warriors guarding the entrance. Tangyu and his group were startled to find that all twelve black-armored warriors exuded the aura of the Mystic Law Realm.

"Twelve Mystic Law Realm—" Tangyu was quite shocked, what a grand display, truly impressive.

Mystic Law Realm cultivators, aside from Yanshan Sect, would be highly valued by any power, right? They would absolutely become honored guests, possibly even an offering elder. Yet these twelve Mystic Law Realm cultivators willingly served as guards here. How could that not be astonishing?

Zi Cang and Yu Feng were also quite surprised; the magnificence of Immortal Music Palace truly left a strong impression.

Guangtou Qiang chuckled softly, whispering to Tangyu and the others: "Frightened, aren’t you? The first time I came, I was so scared I nearly wet myself, so savagely intimidating. Come on, let’s go inside. But to enter, each person has to pay an entrance fee of fifty lower-grade spiritual energy stones."

"What, fifty per person, that’s so expensive?" Luo Xiaobing raised her eyebrows; wouldn’t five people cost two hundred fifty lower-grade Pure Yang Stones, just for the entrance fee? That’s too expensive.

Guangtou Qiang cleared his throat and said, "This has always been the rule of the Immortal Music Palace; you must pay fifty lower-grade Pure Yang Stones at the entrance. It sounds expensive, but it’s actually not. Once you’re in, you can stay for three to five years without incurring additional charges. If you just come in and leave quickly, naturally it’s expensive. Many people reside long-term in the palace."

Tangyu took out two hundred fifty lower-grade Pure Yang Stones, and said casually, "It doesn’t matter, when going out to have fun, don’t care about small expenses."

After paying the Pure Yang Stones, the group of five entered the Immortal Music Palace. Upon entering, it felt like stepping into an earthly paradise. The multicolored crystal stones illuminated the interior in a beautiful array of colors, extremely gorgeous and indescribably beautiful.

At the entrance was a hall, with several corridors branching out, giving the impression of entering a large entertainment venue.

Guangtou Qiang said, "Let’s head straight to the Martial Combat Zone; it’s the liveliest place, probably gathering of heroes and a dance of demon monsters by now."

The Martial Combat Zone, which Tangyu had heard Guangtou Qiang mention earlier, was a dedicated area for martial challenges, where like-minded people could spar with each other, or even participate in small betting duels, considered quite thrilling. It was reminiscent of underground fighting on Earth, though here it was legitimate.

Here, one could spar with many experts, which would greatly aid in cultivation.
