Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 561: Entering the Curtain
"Donghuang Haoyue!"

"He's here too?"

"Of course."

"The closest person to becoming a True Immortal under the Tribulation Realm is also the Daozi with the greatest aspirations to become an emperor, the number one prodigy who looks down upon his peers. If he doesn't come, what's the point of this Tianxiang Night Party?"

"Humph, a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Aren't you afraid of disaster along the way by showing off like this? Will you die before you achieve your goal of becoming an empire?"

"If a true immortal disregards his status and sneaks into the guild to launch a sneak attack, that would be a huge joke."

"What you can think of, the East Palace will not think of. I'm afraid that Dong Jun is already in the building reminiscing about the past with the Yousu Fox Ancestor."

"With the Lord of the East watching over him day and night, and the Holy Soldiers of the Emperor of the East, even if a True Immortal attacks from behind, it will be difficult to injure him!"

"..."

There were rumors and discussions, but they could not disturb the people in heaven. They could only watch the peerless figure walk into the building.

However, as soon as he took a step forward, he saw the night sky light up, and a big sun came blazingly and landed in front of Tianxiang Tower.

It was...

"Jiang clan Taoist?"

"He's here too?"

"How long has it been since the injury healed?"

"The Great Sun Immortal Body really cannot be viewed with common sense!"

"You've already been defeated twice. If you come again tonight, aren't you asking for trouble?"

"The son of the imperial clan, the Great Sun Immortal Body, should have been invincible in the world, but now he lives in the shadow of others. It is really lamentable."

"Don't be so sure. This is a marriage proposal, not a battle. Maybe the Su family prefers Jiang Lingyun to Donghuang Daozi?"

"Why do I feel like he's here for Donghuang Haoyue?"

"It's hard to say. A few months ago, Donghuang Haoyue won but didn't kill him. Maybe they just respected each other."

"He is just talking nonsense. He won't kill me. He just wants to completely tear me apart before I become the emperor, and trigger a life-and-death battle between the imperial families."

"The disputes among the same sects are getting more and more intense. The hatred between the Jiang Clan and the Donghuang Palace is no longer likely to be alleviated. If Donghuang Haoyue really becomes the emperor in the future, then even if the Jiang Clan is not completely wiped out, their spine will be broken, and there will be no possibility of recovery forever."

"So it is only between colleagues that there is naked hatred!"

"..."

Watching Jiang Lingyun step into Tianxiang Tower, everyone sighed again.

A fight between fellow ideologists!

The Jiang clan and the Donghuang Palace are both ancient clans of the imperial dynasty. Both are giants that eat the fattest food in the world. Under the checks and balances of power, they should not have such conflicts.

But since their paths are the same, both the Universal Emperor's Scripture and the Eastern Emperor's Sacred Law involve the Way of the Sun, and both sides need some key resources.

Where there is need, there is competition. Where there is competition, there are casualties. When there are too many casualties, hatred will naturally arise.

This is the dispute between fellow travelers.

This has been going on for thousands of years, and the hatred has only grown deeper and deeper. Today, the two sides are not only at life and death odds, but are also incompatible with each other. There is no possibility of easing the relationship, but they are only intimidated by each other's strength and do not want to perish together with their opponent, so a life-and-death battle has not broken out.

Once the situation changes and the balance of power is lost, the flames of war will be ignited immediately and the war will not stop until the opponent is reduced to ashes.

Not only the Jiang Clan and the Donghuang Palace, but all major forces are like this. So it is no wonder that the spirit of fighting is prevalent in Shenzhou. In this era of great contention, the world is full of strife, and people's hearts are surging. There is no way to retreat.

……

In Tianxiang Tower, everyone gathered together. Although there were clear divisions among them, they were all having fun.

Donghuang Haoyue came alone, but he was not alone at this moment. The main seat was surrounded by many cultivators, all of whom were the pride of the major forces. At this moment, they were willing to be supporting roles, and were held up by the crowd like the moon surrounded by stars.

Donghuang Haoyue is like this, and so are Jiang Lingyun, the Prince of Daxia and other imperial clans of ancient dynasties, and the disciples of the great immortal sects.

By looking at the big picture from the small, we can see the pattern of China.

A supreme force like the East Emperor Palace, which has produced an ancient emperor, must be surrounded by descendants of secondary ancient clans and immortal gates and holy places, forming close alliances one after another and competing for supremacy in this land of China.

This is also the prototype of an imperial dynasty. If Donghuang attains enlightenment or Jiangzi becomes emperor in the future, he can immediately establish a new era and reform the system, and rule the world.

Donghuang Haoyue was among them, but he did not show the slightest arrogance of an imperial blood. He chatted and laughed with everyone, talking about the world, showing the incomparable charm of an emperor. I don't know how many women looked at him sideways, and even many men were impressed by him.

Everyone present here is either a Taoist priest or a genius. Even if they are slightly inferior and not of imperial bloodline, they still think they are as good as others.

However, at this moment, seeing his demeanor, one cannot help but admire him, which shows the imperial demeanor and bearing.

Of course, there were also people who were dissatisfied, such as the men and women around Jiang Lingyun. Although they did not dare to provoke directly, they could not avoid talking secretly.

However, Jiang Lingyun cut off the telepathic communication between the few people with just a glance, and then raised his glass to salute Donghuang Haoyue from afar.

Upon seeing this, Donghuang Haoyue also smiled and raised his glass in return, as if to let all grudges be forgotten over a glass of wine.

Such an attitude left everyone speechless, and rumors were surging.

"My Jiang clan and the Donghuang Palace have become mortal enemies. Why is my elder brother still so polite to Donghuang Haoyue?"

"Could it be that he really sympathizes with me?"

"Maybe it's to leave some room."

"What leeway? It's just a matter of success or failure. Do you really think that the East Palace has us for sure?"

"If these two people really appreciate each other and resolve the blood feud between the two clans, it would be a good story."

"After all, no one wants to see a vindictive emperor ruling the world."

"Are you sympathetic to each other?"

"Easier said than done!"

Undercurrents are surging and people are in confusion.

Right here...

"The presence of fellow Taoists makes Tianxiang Tower glorious. It is an honor to have Su You here!"

A whisper was heard, and the shouting stopped immediately. The scene became quiet and everyone became dignified.

Looking up, I saw a person floating towards me. Her black hair was three thousand strands, whiter than snow, and flawless. She was wearing a white palace dress, spotless. She had fairy-like skin and bones, and a pure and clean body. She was just like the fairy Guanghan. Her entry into this mortal world attracted everyone to her.

"This……"

"Is there Su Tiannv?"

"Why isn't there any trace of seduction?"

"Is there really such a beautiful woman in the world who is untainted by mud and pure yet not coquettish?"

"What sludge? What do you think of the Su family?"

"How dare you, you rascal, talk nonsense!"

For a moment, the whole place was in chaos, and some people even lost their voices unintentionally, which attracted a lot of criticism.

Su You smiled faintly, suppressing the chaotic voices of the crowd: "Tonight's meeting is only for discussing the Dao. There are three thousand great Daos, but they all lead to the same destination. I will be the first to play a piece of music for you fellow Daoists to appreciate."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and a Yaoqin appeared on the stage, followed by nine girls who came over.

There was Su You sitting down, playing the piano with his slender hands, and nine girls dancing to the tune, and the music echoed inside and outside the Jade Tower.

"This……"

In Tianxiang City, everyone looked up and saw jade-like buildings and the rhythmic sound of pianos playing, like the music of heaven in the sky, as if they were about to fly up and escape from the troubles of this world.

"Is it Su Tiannv?"

"You have such a unique skill?"

“This piano sound…”

"Damn it, why can't I wait to go in!"

The sound of the piano makes people's hearts beat, they are amazed for a moment, and then intoxicated.

This went on for who knows how long before the song and dance finally ended.

Inside Tianxiang Tower, everyone woke up as if from a dream, and looked at the people on the stage, who began to speak out.

"I've heard a long time ago that there is a Su clan, whose musical skills are unrivaled in the world. Now I see that it is indeed as good as the rumors say!"

"The master of the Chinese musical instrument should be called a goddess!"

"This song should only be heard in heaven, how many times can it be heard in the human world?"

"Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu, five tones and seven sounds, with infinite variations, seeming to be created by heaven and earth!"

"The goddess's extraordinary skills are so stunning..."

Everyone was talking a lot, some even lost their composure.

Su You smiled faintly: "It's just a trivial skill, thank you for your praise, fellow Taoists."

After saying this, he glanced around and looked at everyone again: "Which Taoist friend is willing to come up on stage and make a speech next?"

"This……"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was speechless, their eyes swept between each other, and finally fell on the top few Taoists.

"The goddess of heaven invites me, how dare I disobey..."

"Then let me show off my ugliness!"

A Taoist laughed and was about to stand up and go on stage, but was interrupted by words and immediately left coldly. As a result, he saw Donghuang Haoyue and had to stop. Donghuang Haoyue didn't care at all, stood up happily and went on stage.

"Oh?"

Su You raised her eyebrows and said, "Your Highness is also good at playing the zither?"

Donghuang Haoyue nodded, her gentle gesture making people feel close to her: "I know a little bit, please teach me, goddess."

"Your Highness is serious."

Su You smiled slightly, stood up, stood aside, and gave up the Yaoqin: "Please!"

Donghuang Haoyue was not polite either. He sat down, pressed down his beautiful hands, and plucked the zither with his fingers. Suddenly, five tones and seven sounds were played, showing the unique art on the strings.

"This……"

Everyone's eyes froze and they looked at each other in astonishment.

In Tianxiang City, everyone was also surprised and confused when they heard the sound of Qin again.

"Why another song?"

"This heavenly music is enough to comfort one's whole life, but now it has reached the second level?"

"Those Taoists must be extremely greedy and forced Su Tiannv to play another song!"

"Damn it, I hate that I am incompetent, otherwise I would have gone to heaven to save the goddess from the water and fire."

"Wake up, this is the Tianxiang Tower of the Su family. The Su Tiannv is also a figure of the Daozi level. Do you think the courtesan is trapped in the brothel and you are still saving people from danger?"

"Shut up and stop disturbing me while I'm listening to music!"

The people outside the building were shocked and confused, and the people inside the building were also extremely stunned.

“This piano sound…”

“It seems somewhat similar!”

"Same effect, different approaches?"

"This Donghuang Haoyue is also a master of zither skills. Can he capture the essence of the music and win the heart of the beautiful lady?"

"So cunning!"

Listening to the seemingly similar, yet different piano melody, everyone frowned, feeling unwilling.

Su You was standing beside him, looking at Donghuang Haoyue who was concentrating on playing the piano, with a bright look in his eyes.

This went on for who knows how long before the song finally came to an end.

Everyone woke up as if from a dream, and looked at the stage again. Donghuang Haoyue was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, and his figure was as handsome as jade. Su You stood beside him, also extremely beautiful, like a pair of immortal lovers. People felt disgusted by the sight and could not say anything.

Donghuang Haoyue put down the strings of his zither and looked at Su You who was standing beside him with an inexplicable look in his eyes and smiled without saying a word.

Su You met his gaze, her expression changed, and then she said, "Your Highness, where did this song come from?"

Donghuang Haoyue smiled elegantly: "This is what I got in my dream, it seems to be the sound of my past life!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

After these words were spoken, everyone became even more silent, with secret thoughts boiling in their hearts.

"Shameless!"

"Is it the sound from my past life that I got in my dream?"

"Why don't you just say it's a marriage arranged by a fairy?"

"Who said that Donghuang Haoyue was not interested in women?"

Looking at the two people on the stage who looked like a fairy couple, the audience kept complaining but could do nothing about it.

Jiang Lingyun also frowned and looked at Donghuang Haoyue for a long time without saying a word.

"The sound of the past life?"

Su You murmured, and then chuckled: "The word 'fate' is indeed wonderful, and your highness's song is impeccable."

"Thank you for your praise, goddess!"

Donghuang Haoyue stood up, stepped down from the stage, and returned the seat to You Suyou.

Su You smiled slightly and looked at everyone: "Which fellow Taoist is willing to come up to the stage to discuss Taoism?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent, unable to respond.

Su You didn't care, and said, "Regardless of the piano skills, we can also talk about other things. Just like what I said before, there are three thousand great ways, but they all lead to the same destination."

After hearing this, everyone was even more speechless.

Is this a question of morality?
You two have blocked the road, how can others get on? Are you just asking for trouble by going up there?

Several of the great masters, although complaining in their hearts, were unwilling to bring humiliation upon themselves, so they had to let a few of their men stand up and deal with the situation.

In this way, after who knows how long, the process was finally completed and it was time for everyone to leave.

"I've benefited a lot from this meeting tonight!"

Su You stood up, faced everyone, and bowed slightly: "Thank you, fellow Taoists!"

"You are too kind, Goddess!"

"That's what I'm saying."

"Tonight's meeting will be remembered forever!"

When everyone heard this, they stood up and responded.

"Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. I hope we can meet again someday."

With Su Youying's smile, the scene and the words were settled.

Everyone followed suit, stood up, said goodbye and left.

Only Donghuang Haoyue remained motionless, staying in the hall until everyone had left.

Su You looked at him and invited him, "Your Highness, would you like to join us for a chat?"

"I can't ask for it!"

Donghuang Haoyue readily agreed, walked forward and entered the pavilion together.

Outside the Tianxiang Tower, someone was waiting. Seeing that Donghuang Haoyue had not come out for a long time, he felt even more resentful.

"really!"

"The Su family has taken over the East Palace!"

"You came here tonight just to serve as a foil for me!"

"Donghuang Haoyue has the aura of a great emperor, so the Su family will naturally sacrifice themselves for him. In addition, Dongjun in the Donghuang Palace is a ninth-rank weapon refining master who can repair the Su family's inherited treasure. With many inducements, they will naturally lean towards him."

"Humph, with the help of the Su family, the East Palace has become even more powerful. If its development cannot be curbed, then the land of Shenzhou may really welcome another emperor who will rule the world."

"This matter must be considered carefully!"

Everyone had their own thoughts and no longer waited, scattering like birds and beasts.

At the same time, in Tianxiang Tower, inside the goddess’ boudoir.

Donghuang Haoyue walked in leisurely, and with Su You following behind him, he also closed the door casually.

The door closed and the two of them faced each other in silence.

Until ripples appeared in the void, and a figure appeared.

The figure appeared, his eyes dropped, and his gaze met.

One person stood there in a daze, the other one smiled without saying a word, their eyes met and were entangled, as if spanning endless time and space and years.

finally……

"boom!!!"

She woke up in a flash, unable to control herself any longer. Like a fledgling swallow returning to its nest, she flew into his arms, holding him tightly with both hands, not daring to let go. Her voice was choked with sobs, and she could not help but say, "Sir, is it really you? Is it really you?!"

Xu Yang smiled, hugged the person in his arms, and spoke softly but forcefully: "It's me, it's really me!"

A question and an answer, and then no more words, because everything is already beyond words.

Only one person...

"…………"

Although he was mentally prepared, Su You still fell into a long and unspeakable silence when he saw the two people hugging each other tightly.

What is going on?

　One more update!
