Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled
Chapter 552 - 548: Refining the Celestial Sound Talisman and a Chance Encounter with the Celestial Sound Pride
Lu Ziqian was also seeing for the first time someone who could refine the Celestial Sound Talisman so quickly, leaving him a bit dazed.
One must know that the Celestial Sound Talisman is a convergence of the rules of the Great Dao of Celestial Sound, which is inherently difficult to comprehend. The most ordinary Celestial Sound Talisman requires being worn daily for at least a month before one can fully grasp the rules within.
Yet, Xia Feng and his companion refined two each in just two hours. Lu Ziqian couldn’t quite fathom how strong their comprehension of the Great Dao of Celestial Sound must be to achieve such a feat.
Xia Feng naturally knew that Lu Ziqian misunderstood, but he didn’t have the obligation to explain.
Upon hearing Lu Ziqian mention taking it outside to refine, Xia Feng got a bit interested, "Are you saying this thing can be taken out of the Celestial Sound Secret Realm?"
This aspect was different from the Holy Sword Secret Realm, where the Sword Heart from back then couldn’t be taken out.
Lu Ziqian nodded, "This thing can indeed be taken out. Outside, it’s considered almost impossible to obtain."
"Just a First Grade Celestial God Realm Celestial Sound Talisman can sell for over a thousand Top Grade Divine Crystals."
Xia Feng wasn’t very familiar with the prices in the Divine Domain, but judging by Lu Ziqian’s serious tone, he guessed that this item might be quite valuable.
The three of them emerged from the cave, and Xia Feng extended his divine sense to start searching for surrounding secret treasures.
Lu Ziqian watched Xia Feng standing still, harboring a suspicion that left him shocked.
He didn’t dare to disturb Xia Feng and instead moved closer to Qi Wan’Er, inquisitively asking, "Divine Maiden, can your husband use divine sense in the Secret Realm?"
Qi Wan’Er initially didn’t want to pay attention to Lu Ziqian, but upon hearing him say "your husband," a hint of happiness appeared on her face.
She lightly coughed, "Yes, my husband’s divine sense is also restricted, but he can still operate it somewhat here."
Lu Ziqian concealed the shock in his eyes and decided to continue clinging to Xia Feng.
The Celestial Sound Talisman Xia Feng had tossed to him earlier, with enough effort, he might be able to obtain it himself, but certainly not as easily as now.
He might even have to pay a considerable price, but now it had been tossed over by Xia Feng with ease. It even seemed there might be more opportunities like this in the future.
Lu Ziqian figured there was no better time to cling on than now.
So when Xia Feng retracted his divine sense, he saw the expectant Lu Ziqian standing by: "My lord, did you find the secret treasure’s location?"
Xia Feng hesitated, then heard Lu Ziqian explain: "In the Celestial Sound Secret Realm, one cannot use divine sense or teleportation abilities at all. So, although the whole Secret Realm isn’t too large, everyone can only explore their surroundings step by step."
"But this kind of exploration is certainly not as convenient or quick as scanning with divine sense. We can use this opportunity to search for secret treasures."
Xia Feng, speaking of secret treasures, was intrigued by what Lu Ziqian said and glanced around: "Do the secret treasures also need music to be stimulated?"
He had just grasped a bit of the power of rules and was eager to try, but Lu Ziqian regretfully shook his head, "No, the position of the secret treasures should be fixed."
"They are formed by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and condensing the Great Dao of Rules, unlike the Celestial Sound Beasts that drift around; they should have a physical form and be fixed in place."
"Normally, where the power of rules is most dense is usually where they are, right?"
Xia Feng instinctively looked towards the east direction. Although his divine sense hadn’t detected any secret treasures around, he could sense that all the Heaven and Earth Rules were converging in that direction.
Without much hesitation, he directly took the two along and headed towards the east.
Lu Ziqian seemed to have sensed something from Xia Feng’s expression, and his eyes instantly lit up: "Did you find the secret treasure?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"Oh my, I’ve never seen what a secret treasure looks like."
Xia Feng gave him a bit of a helpless look, "Don’t get too excited; I just feel that the power of rules is more intense over there, but there might not necessarily be a secret treasure."
Lu Ziqian had cold water poured on his enthusiasm, but it didn’t wane in the slightest. He followed Xia Feng with excitement, chattering about how rare secret treasures were.
"These things are quite rare, and if captured, they can be integrated into one’s musical Dao treasures to greatly enhance the power of a divine artifact."
"They can also be used to comprehend the Great Dao of Music, improving one’s cultivation in the Great Dao of Music—a very practical treasure."
Xia Feng keenly noticed that Lu Ziqian spoke of the Great Dao of Music rather than the Great Dao of Celestial Sound, his expression becoming somewhat thoughtful.
This thing sounded a lot like a Sword Spirit.
Without thinking much more, the three continued heading east.
Before they had even traveled three miles, a group of people suddenly rushed over from the east, followed by quite a few tinkling Celestial Sound Beasts.
The number of Celestial Sound Beasts was considerable, about twenty or thirty, and as their sound collided and merged, even Xia Feng was significantly affected, feeling no desire to fight and immediately wanting to leave this group of Celestial Sound Beasts.
However, his willpower was incredibly strong, and after his divine soul was momentarily affected, he quickly snapped back and squinted at the Celestial Sound Beasts in front of him.
The pursued individuals mostly wore the attire of the Celestial Sound Orthodoxy, causing Xia Feng to frown.
Next to him, Lu Ziqian showed a bit of anxiety, clearly having friends among the ten or so people, but looking at Xia Feng’s expression, he dared not rashly ask for help or act, fearing to draw trouble their way.
The Celestial Sound Pride from across, upon seeing the three, panicked and urged, "What are you still standing here for, quickly get out of here."
"Twenty or thirty Celestial Sound Beasts aren’t something we can..."
Mid-sentence, he seemed to recognize Qi Wan’Er and Xia Feng as those who fought against hundreds outside the Secret Realm entrance, causing the words ’something we can deal with’ to stick in his throat, unsure if he should continue.
Xia Feng initially planned to watch from the sidelines, but this person was rather perceptive, at least not trying to harm others.
Not to mention the prior request from Qi Jun, Xia Feng sighed slightly and waved his left hand, casting a transparent barrier over the ten or so Celestial Sound Prides.
Qi Wan’Er knew Xia Feng might use the God-Burying Bell and quickly retreated quite a distance with Lu Ziqian.
Then everyone saw the Hexagonal Copper Bell on Xia Feng’s wrist.
The bell is the lowest grade instrument in the Celestial Sound Divine Domain. Just as someone opened their mouth to say something, the person next to them quickly covered it up.
Given Xia Feng’s abilities at the entrance of the Secret Realm, even if all they had was a bell, or nothing at all, these people together wouldn’t be a match for him.
