Two days.
It was not long, nor was it short. It passed in a blink of an eye.
Li Jing spent an entire day in the Sky Music Pavilion, forcibly imprinting most of the scores from the nine floors in his mind. Then he spent another day selecting so special scores from the first to eighth floors to morize.
His gains from this were substantial.
Thanks to the Unique Unsurpassed Music, all Li Jing had to do was morize everything.
If an ordinary musician were to co, all they could do would be to search for and morize the scores they could handle.
Sound and music attacks are indeed quite special.
Although sheet music does not belong to the realm of Magic Skill System, it has versatile effects just like various magic skills.
To control these scores, the requirents for cultivation realm and music accomplishnt are very high.
It doesn’t make much sense to just morize the scores unless you are confident that you will be able to control the corresponding score in the near future. Otherwise, even if you morize it, it will just be an ordinary lody in your mind.
At noon.
Li Jing was standing in front of a rack on the sixth floor of the Sound and Music Pavilion, putting back a score that could change the Heavenly Phenonon.
Just as he was about to go look at other music scores, he suddenly heard Tong Rou’s transmission.
"Master Li, the Lord of the Star God Temple will arrive at Immortal Music Palace later, do you want to co out now or...?"
Upon receiving this ssage, Li Jing paused and located Tong Rou with his powerful Primordial Spirit.
"I’ll co out now."
"Alright, Master Li, please co downstairs. I will co over to lift the prohibition of the Sky Music Pavilion for you."
Tong Rou transmitted her response.
"Understood."
Li Jing responded, turned around and went downstairs.
Although he could directly tear apart the space and leave the Sky Music Pavilion, it was still necessary to follow the procedure since the Sky Music Pavilion has a prohibition.
At worst, is giving face to the prohibition and Tong Rou, who was about to co and fetch him, so important?
Tong Rou arrived very quickly.
Li Jing had just stood firm downstairs when he heard her humming softly outside the door. Soon after, the prohibition of the Sky Music Pavilion was lifted and the door automatically opened.
Upon seeing a certain person, Tong Rou smiled lightly.
"It looks like, Master Li has gained quite a bit in these two days?"
"Just about enough."
Li Jing smiled, left the Sky Music Pavilion and took a glance at the courtyard.
At this ti, the Blue Phoenix was already gone, and he didn’t know where she had gone.
However, the chess ga she was pondering over was still on the round table in the courtyard and had not been put away. It seed that she planned to ponder over it later.
Out of curiosity, Li Jing approached the round table.
Tong Rou didn’t ask about Li Jing’s specific gains in the Sky Music Pavilion. Seeing him approach the round table in the courtyard, she subconsciously followed and spoke proactively.
"The chess ga that Elder Blue Phoenix ponders over is never ordinary. Most of them involve extrely sophisticated chess skills. The chess ga is only on the surface, the key is the score hidden in the chess ga. Master Li, if you are interested in chess, you might want to morize this chess ga and study it carefully in the future."
Hearing what Tong Rou said, Li Jing smiled.
"I’ve just dabbled in the path of sound and music, in the future, just delving deep into it would be enough for to spend my energy on. If I start learning chess, I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle both, and it might delay my cultivation."
Delaying cultivation was, of course, just a casual remark by Li Jing.
As soone who never practiced cultivation, what could he delay?
He mainly was not interested in chess.
Things like chess and music, strictly speaking, both belong to the category of peripheral systems within the Orthodox Immortality Path. They require effort and research, and in the anti, the threshold for entry is extrely high. Not anyone can get involved.
If he hadn’t stumbled upon the Unique Unsurpassed Music, Li Jing would truly have to spend a lot of effort on the path of sound and music in the future. Otherwise, even if he had a Daoist item like Snow Sound, he wouldn’t be able to manage a few scores.
He had just avoided one place where he had to spend a lot of effort, and now he was considering another one. Isn’t that looking for trouble?
Coming back to it.
Li Jing was considering the path of sound and music because he has Snow Sound. He doesn’t have the corresponding items to start learning chess, is this necessary?
Could it be that he had to refine one himself?
Tong Rou did not know what Li Jing was thinking.
She said that mainly because she had witnessed Li Jing’s "peak as soon as he started" in the field of sound and music, thinking that he might be interested in other peripheral systems, and have the ability to manage both.
Now that he said he couldn’t handle both, of course she wouldn’t say more.
Approaching the round table, Tong Rou took a glance at the chess ga on the table and lost interest imdiately.
Her main focus is only the path of sound and music.
She couldn’t even understand the basic chess path, how could she be interested in this?
On the other hand, Li Jing frowned at the situation.
The chess ga that the Blue Phoenix placed on the table was a very common Go ga.
Li Jing had learned a little in his previous life, but he was not proficient.
But even in the eyes of soone who is not proficient like him, the chess ga on the table can’t be called a chess ga at all, and the chess path is completely not the way to play Go.
It’s better to say that what’s placed on the table is a chess ga, rather than a random placent of black and white pieces.
Did the Blue Phoenix ss up the chess path before leaving for fear that others would watch the ga?
This should not be the case.
If even she couldn’t figure it out, wouldn’t she live in vain for tens of millions of years if these disciples of the Immortal Music Palace, who mainly attack with sound and music, could decipher it?
If soone really sees through it, maybe it would be convenient for her.
So.
What was the Blue Phoenix studying this ss for?
As Li Jing pondered for a long ti and couldn’t figure it out, he didn’t think there might be a chess-related score in it. Instead, it might be sothing else that the Blue Phoenix was interested in.
As to what it was, he could not guess.
Looking at the two chess gas, Li Jing pondered and, adopting a "let’s try it out" attitude, he muttered "login" in his heart.
Next second, a prompt box popped up before his eyes.
"Successfully logged in, obtained the Second Breakthrough skill-Burn the Sky."
???
Li Jing.
Just like the ti when he got the guzheng legacy from the Immortal Music Palace, he had tried it without any reasons.
Becoming a controller without receiving prompts was indeed troubleso, but it also made him more free.
If he muttered "login" without any reason, it wouldn’t cost him anything, would it?
If he could he evoke sothing as remarkable as the unparalleled lody that was inherited from the guzheng of the Immortal Music Palace, wouldn’t it be simply thrilling?
Who would have known that it was actually possible!?

When he unconsciously summoned the panel for a look, Li Jing went straight to admire it.
The Second Breakthrough skill not only truly existed but was also placed under the Forbidden Skill column.
The simple two words "Burn the Sky" would easily associate it with fire-related forbidden skills.
If it had been ordinary, Li Jing may not necessarily be interested in fire-related forbidden skills.
Even though fire techniques are not inferior to thunder techniques, he had happily beco the Thunder Magic King since he dabbled in cultivation and now his standard solution to problems was to unleash the thunder punishnt directly.
However, the key point is.
This Second Breakthrough skill is being researched by the Blue Phoenix, which is definitely not an ordinary Second Breakthrough forbidden skill. It’s is not only an ancient Immortal thod but also the most top-tier type.
What’s thought-provoking is.
Why would there be such a forbidden skill hidden in the chess ga that Blue Phoenix is studying?
Looking back.
Why is the Divine Beast, Blue Phoenix, studying forbidden skills?
Could it be that the Divine Beast’s approach to cultivation is different from that of ordinary beasts, and despite having a very powerful innate ability, does she still have the ability to harness magic skills?
As Li Jing was filled with confusion, he took a mont to feel.
Without adding points to the forbidden skill Burn the Sky, he was not able to truly appreciate it.
What can be affird is.
Even in his initial learning stage, not even being able to be called a beginner, the power of the forbidden skill Burn the Sky could be compared with ordinary forbidden skills. When it is perfected, it’s projected to be even more powerful than the Body of Thunder Punishnt in All Worlds.
This.
It truly is a pleasant surprise.
Without giving anything away on the surface, Li Jing turned his head to look at Tong Rou who was keeping him company by his side.
"Master Tong, do you know where Senior Blue Phoenix is right now?"
Tong Rou faltered at his words.
Before she could react, Li Jing smiled.
"I seem to have grasped the mysteries of this chess ga a bit. While the master of Star God Temple hasn’t arrived yet, I want to seek advice from Senior Blue Phoenix."
Given soone’s such statent, Tong Rou was dazed again.
Regardless of what it is, anything that the Blue Phoenix is researching would never be shallow.
Li Jing just ca over and glanced at it once and he was able to decipher so clues?
She already had a deep understanding of this man’s multi-faceted, attitude.
Yet, the more she ca into contact with him, the more she found him to be unbelievably outrageous.
With a bewildered look on her face, Tong Rou said.
"Senior Blue Phoenix isn’t at the Immortal Music Palace right now, she should be in her own cave in the back mountain. Unless it’s a special situation, she usually won’t leave the Earth Realm where the Immortal Music Palace is located."
"The back mountain?"
Li Jing turned his head to look, then turned back.
"I see, Master Tong, you must be busy with lots of things in the coming ti. I can visit Senior Blue Phoenix by myself, and I reckon it won’t take long to return. The master of the Star God Temple wouldn’t leave as soon as he arrives, so please make him feel at ho while I am gone. We can discuss the rest when I return."
"Okay."
Tong Rou nodded.
When the master of the Star God Temple arrives, not only does she have to receive him.
She also has to discuss the law of guqin music with him, as she had previously arranged with him.
One can’t leave instantly, it will take a few days.
There’s no rush.
After getting a response, Li Jing levitated and headed to the back mountain.
Upon seeing this, Tong Rou looked after him, and gave him a ssage.
"Senior Blue Phoenix does not generally appreciate visitors causing disruption, inside her cave dwelling, there is an extrely powerful prohibition. Li Immortal Lord, when you get to the back mountain do not rashly barge in, it’s best to call for Senior Blue Phoenix, explain the situation and wait for her response."
"Understood."
Li Jing responded in kind.
...
A mont later.
Li Jing arrived at Immortal Music Palace’s back mountain.
As soon as he arrived, he detected a hint of spatial anomaly within the range of the back mountain.
Levitating in the air, he gazed intently.
Among the sprawling mountains, there was a spatial entrance located at the base of a low mountain.
Looking around, no building structures of any kind could be seen in the vicinity.
This could only lead to one conclusion.
The dwelling of the Blue Phoenix was in another spatial level, probably a stacked space of so kind.
Li Jing was not surprised at this.
After all, the Blue Phoenix was an impressive existence that had lived for tens of millions of years. Having a layered space as its "nest" could not be more normal.
Landing near the spatial entrance, Li Jing spoke up.
"I, Li Jing of Chen Tang City, have taken the liberty to visit. I wonder if Senior Blue Phoenix is available?"
Before the sound of his voice faded, Blue Phoenix’s voice echoed from within the spatial entrance.
"Co in."
Receiving a response, Li Jing took a step and walked into the spatial entrance.
Subsequently.
The familiar shift in space occurred.
The next second, Li Jing found himself on a vast island situated atop an endless ocean.
There was an imposing mountain towering into the cloud-filled sky.
The island was primarily covered with dense forests and was ho to a vast and diverse array of birds. Among them, many were high-level Spiritual Beasts, making the whole island seem like a utopian paradise.
But that was not the main point.
The crux was.
Upon entering, Li Jing noted that this space was not a layered space, but an independent pseudo-heaven and earth.
Unexpectedly, Li Jing was a bit taken aback.
He knew within the Immortal Realm there were Masters who, like himself, possessed a Little Universe independent from the world, but he never expected to find one in Blue Phoenix in the Immortal Music Palace.
However, this turn of events.
Made it reasonable for Blue Phoenix to discover the Little Universe as soon as she t him.
Being a Master with an independent world, she might have possessed it for countless years.
Compared to him, she probably understood far more about the independent existence of the world and was much more sensitive in this aspect.
As he was thinking this, Blue Phoenix’s voice echoed from the side.
"This place being an independent world is a re illusion of yours, do not overthink. If I want to be like you, there is a long path ahead of . Currently, my place can only be considered a pseudo-heaven and earth."
Li Jing was a bit taken aback upon hearing this.
Pseudo-heaven and earth?
What does that an?
In his own senses, it was clear that this place had already beco an independent world, right?
Such perceptions can be illusions?
While he was bemused, Blue Phoenix spoke again.
"Don’t stand down there, co up to the top of the mountain."
Li Jing returned to his senses at the sound of this command and levitated towards the summit as instructed.
Soon.
He climbed the mighty peak on the island - the only one of its kind.
As soon as he arrived, he saw Blue Phoenix standing in front of a casually erected straw house, teasing an odd spiritual bird on her shoulders. The bird appeared ordinary but had a health bar value of 16299 above its head and was adorned with seven-colored feathers.
Here.
Blue Phoenix saw Li Jing approach and gave a slight smile, then she said to the bird on her shoulder.
"Yue’er, go play by yourself, I have to entertain a guest."
The Spiritual Bird, called Yue’er, didn’t have a human form yet but understood human speech, and upon these words, it glanced at Li Jing. Its expressive eyes widened as if shocked, then fluttered its wings in panic and flew off; in a ’swish’, it was completely out of sight.
Li Jing blinked at the sight.
What’s wrong with this Spiritual Bird?
Why does it react to him as if he’s a pest?
Just as he was puzzled, Blue Phoenix looked over.
"Look at you, you scared my Yue’er as soon as you arrived. How are you going to compensate ?"
"..."
Li Jing.
He was just wondering.
I an, I didn’t do anything. The Spiritual bird that was truly in the Twelfth Realm was scared off for no reason, I can’t be the one to bla, right?
Looking back.
It seems like Blue Phoenix just took this opportunity to make a fuss...
Looking at Blue Phoenix’s expression of fake anger, Li Jing felt like he might have been tricked or taken advantage of, but he had no proof.
Considering that Blue Phoenix was a very powerful individual, Li Jing played along.
"Senior Blue Phoenix, how do you propose I compensate you?"
When he showed readiness to make ands, Blue Phoenix didn’t hold back and smiled.
"I haven’t decided yet. I’ll let you know when I figure it out."
She then said lightly.
"The scent of slaughter from the nurous Alien Species you’ve killed surrounds you. To be honest, you should find a way to clean it up or at least try to suppress it. Otherwise, if you encounter Alien Species that are very sensitive to the scent, it might easily scare away the timid ones, and even the brave ones might be fearful of approaching you."
After hearing this, Li Jing was taken aback.
If Blue Phoenix hadn’t said so, he might have completely forgotten.
He had a unique aura of slaughter around him because he had "killed" too many beings. This had been going on for quite so ti.
Normally, this aura did not affect him.
So Alien Species that were very sensitive would indeed be scared away when they ca across him. However, those that were sensitive to this extent were rare.
From this perspective.
He wasn’t tricked or taken advantage of. The Spiritual bird was truly scared off by him ...
To Li Jing’s surprise.
The concealnt of Smoke Eye seed to have no effect on the aura of slaughter surrounding him that stemd from his Beast Cultivation and other Alien Species.
Thinking of the solutions Blue Phoenix had ntioned, Li Jing spoke up.
"The aura of slaughter on has a long history, but it doesn’t co from senseless killing. When I was on Blue Star, I was a patrolman responsible for investigating murders and protecting the public. Senior Blue Phoenix, you can think of as a city guard because of my duties."
As he spoke, he went on.
"The existence of this aura has occasionally caused trouble, but it’s not because I don’t want to deal with it. I just didn’t know how to handle it. I even had no sense of its existence. I wonder if Senior Blue Phoenix has any way to clean or suppress it?"
In response to his words, Blue Phoenix did not hesitate to say.
"Your situation is quite unique, strictly speaking, you’re like a ferocious beast in Beast Cultivation, and an extrely ferocious one at that. However, because you’re a human cultivator, this aura does not manifest itself too substantively. Cleaning it would be very difficult, I don’t have any suitable thods for that, but I do have a way to temporarily suppress it."
As she spoke, she reached out and took out a green tail feather.
"This is one of my shed tail feathers. If you wear it or refine it into an artifact, you can temporarily suppress the aura of slaughter. This is a symptomatic treatnt, once you take action, the aura of slaughter will still reveal itself. Moreover, the suppressed aura of slaughter, once it erupts, will be much stronger than the normal existence."
Hearing Blue Phoenix say this, Li Jing’s eyes lit up.
The aura of slaughter could only bring negative effects for him.
What’s key is that this thing exists, but it’s not strong.
It can only scare away so more sensitive Alien Species, ordinary Alien Species can’t even feel it, so there’s no point in having it, right?
But if he could erupt with a sufficiently strong aura of slaughter to intimidate Alien Species when necessary, it could have an unexpected effect.
Looking at the green tail feather handed over by Blue Phoenix, Li Jing almost drooled.
This beautiful green tail feather was clearly not an ordinary item just by looking at it.
The hidden spiritual rhythm in it was even on par with Heavenly Treasures.
Every part of a Beast Cultivator is treasured. Those aren’t empty words.
For a Divine Beast like Blue Phoenix.
Just a shed tail feather might be equivalent to a Heavenly Treasure...
According to what Blue Phoenix said herself.
This feather seed to be used as a material for artifact refinent.
Taking the green tail feather and looking at it, Li Jing turned to Blue Phoenix who clearly didn’t care about getting a return for her shed feather and thought for a mont before taking out a bottle of the only remaining Ambrosial Elixir from his Little Universe.
"Senior Blue Phoenix’s tail feather is extrely precious. I cannot accept it without giving sothing in return. Please accept this bottle of Ambrosial Elixir."
Ambrosial Elixir.
Blue Phoenix, who had lived for tens of millions of years, recognized it imdiately.
She hadn’t asked for a return, but Li Jing quickly took out this rare good thing without blinking, which surprised her.
Without standing on ceremony, Blue Phoenix took the bottle and laughed.
"From the mont I t you, I thought you were an interesting individual. I have lived so long, and you are indeed the most straightforward and interesting human cultivator I have ever t. The ones I’ve co across in the past were either so scared of or so hypocritical, always trying to take advantage of , even those from Immortal Music Palace were no exception."
After saying this, she asked.
"So, why did you suddenly leave Sky Music Pavilion to co here?"
"Well, the thing is ..."
Li Jing replied.
"I happened to glance at the chess ga left by Senior Blue Phoenix earlier and fortunately gained so insights, so I wanted to co over and..."
Before he could finish, Blue Phoenix, who had been quite calm all the while, suddenly changed her expression, grabbed him, and interrupted excitedly.
"You grasped the chess ga left by the Fire Phoenix?!"
?
Li Jing.
A chess ga left by the Fire Phoenix?
So ...
The Forbidden Sky Burning Skill is related to the Divine Beast, Fire Phoenix?
Without waiting for him to figure it out, the pressure from Blue Phoenix’s hand increased.
"Did she leave any information about her whereabouts in the chess ga?"
