Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 486: You have to listen to me when playing the piano. Hua Yunfei was touched and left, and the Yaoguang vibration rose four levels in a row!
Hua Yunfei was dressed in blue, sitting cross-legged in front of a desk, with a simple guqin placed in front of him, playing pleasant music.

Liu Mang sat in front of another table, with fruits and fine wine on the table, enjoying Hua Yunfei's performance.

It has to be said that Hua Yunfei's image is truly outstanding. A simple blue robe outlines his otherworldly temperament. His handsome face always has a faint smile, as if he is an immortal who has transcended the mundane world.

This is the most handsome man Liu Mang has ever seen in his life. If one had to find a word to describe Hua Yunfei, the first thing Liu Mang would think of must be - exiled immortal!
Unfortunately, such grace and demeanor is just a mask to cover up his true inner self.

Liu Mang sighed, it is true that the pretended appearance is the most deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the superficial image of a hypocrite is always better than that of a real gentleman.

After the song ended, Hua Yunfei stroked the strings of the zither to suppress the lingering sound.

"Brother Li, how is it?"

Hua Yunfei asked softly.

Liu Mang smiled and praised: "Brother Hua has great piano skills. This piece of music, High Mountains and Flowing Water, really makes me feel like I am there. I feel much more relaxed after listening to it. You are truly a master!"

Hua Yunfei smiled gently, not arrogant or impatient, calm and ethereal: "Brother Li, thank you for your praise. In terms of zither playing, I am only a beginner and dare not call myself a master."

This was naturally just a humble remark. Hua Yunfei had been learning and practicing the piano for nearly 30 years. He had liked it since he was a child. In addition, he practiced the Nine Tribulations Phoenix Song, which was a supreme sound skill that was originally stimulated by the piano. One can imagine the effort he had put in this aspect.

In general, Hua Yunfei's piano playing skills are close to Taoism, extraordinary and otherworldly, and few people in the world can match him.

Unfortunately, he met Liu Mang.

It is always said that one can find a soulmate by listening to the sound of mountains and flowing water. Music is an important means of interacting with people and building relationships.

Liu Mang is well versed in the art of making friends. As early as on the Swallowed Star Bauhinia Island, he had already mastered the skills of various musical instruments with the method of piling up earth into mountains. In terms of musical instrument skills alone, he has no less than ten thousand years of experience, and is a real expert.

Therefore, facing Hua Yunfei's modesty, Liu Mang nodded and said, "Oh, you know. Then I won't be polite with you. Although your piano skills are good, you are still a little lacking. In the eyes of ordinary people, you are very impressive, but in the eyes of a true master, you still have a long way to go."

Hua Yunfei's face was a little stiff. He had heard many people mocking his character, his strength, and even his master in his life, but this was the first time in his life that someone mocked his piano skills.

He felt very uncomfortable. His piano skill was what he was most proud of. It could be said to be his only skill that surpassed that of Saint Yaoguang. He had always been secretly proud of it, but today this pride was trampled on by someone.

You can say anything about him except his piano skills. In this regard, he will never give in!
"Oh? I didn't expect that Brother Li is also studying the art of playing the zither. Could you please give me some pointers so that I can broaden my horizons and get a glimpse of the master's skills?" Hua Yunfei's expression remained unchanged, and he asked sincerely, as if he was really asking.

"Hahaha!" Liu Mang laughed three times and stood up. "I don't deserve your advice. Let's learn and progress together. Come, give me the piano. I'll play a song for you and see what's different."

Hua Yunfei handed over the piano with a strange look on his face. He couldn't believe that Liu Mang, who was handsome but big and strong, was actually an artist.

When handing over the zither, he deliberately observed Liu Mang's hands. His fingers were slender and strong, as crystal clear as jade. Each knuckle glowed with fluorescence, and the blood vessels and bones could be faintly seen.

These were a pair of hands as beautiful as jade, but in Hua Yunfei's eyes, these hands would be much more useful for crushing people's heads than for playing the piano.

His heart was beating fast and he didn't want to hand over the guqin. The hands looked too strong and he was afraid that the other party would break his beloved guqin with two strokes. He unconsciously used some strength with the hand holding one end of the guqin.

Liu Mang twitched once, but didn't move. The zither was still in Hua Yunfei's hand.

"Brother Hua?"

Hua Yunfei came back to his senses and immediately let go, "Sorry, I just suddenly realized something about Taoism and got distracted. Brother Li, please."

Liu Mang sat down and put the zither on his lap, admiringly saying, "Brother Hua is indeed a genius. He can gain enlightenment even when chatting. If he really wants to comprehend the world, I dare not even imagine how efficient he will be!"

Hua Yunfei remained calm: "It's just an occasional gain. Everything in the world has its own principles, and chatting is no exception. Discovering the differences in life and seeing the true self in the ordinary, how can this not be a great path?"

"Brother Hua, that's a great point." Liu Mang agreed with Hua Yunfei's words very much. "To realize the Tao is not just to sit cross-legged and observe the sky and the earth, and experience nature. The worldly world and the various aspects of life are also the Tao. Brother Hua, you have a profound realm."

Hua Yunfei's realm is indeed high, but not in this aspect. Listening to Liu Mang's bragging, he felt a little nervous.

"Brother Li, the worldly world is not my path. I am lucky to have achieved a little, and I dare not ask for more. I only wish to play the zither and enjoy life. The way of the zither is what I have been seeking all my life. I hope Brother Li will not hesitate to teach me."

Hua Yunfei urged Liu Mang to stop talking and play quickly. His pursuit of the piano art did not allow for such a waste of time.

Liu Mang gently stroked the strings, feeling the feedback the guqin brought him.

He was trying to understand the properties of the guqin and adjust his playing style and choice of music accordingly.

And then the next moment, a sound from the vast atmosphere and the vast sea of ​​smoke suddenly rang out.

As the sound of the piano entered his ears, a magnificent ancient world appeared before Hua Yunfei's eyes. He saw lightning and thunder, huge waves, and thousands of warriors roaring and swinging their swords to cut the waves and split the sky, creating a place for survival for the tribe and bringing order and peace to the world.

The thunder roared and the waves surged, but they could not shatter the courage or drown the soul. The fighting spirit even made the sky retreat.

This is what Liu Mang played: Man can conquer nature!

The zither had long since stopped and the sound had long since dissipated, but Hua Yunfei could not recover for a long time, immersed in that ancient time and space, and roared along with the warriors:

"Fight! Fight! Fight!!"

A tear flowed from the corner of Hua Yunfei's eye. The warm touch awakened him from his thoughts. He reached out and stroked his cheek, looking at the water stains on his fingers, lost in thought.

"Is this master-level piano skill?"

Hua Yunfei murmured, deeply shocked.

The sound of the piano was filled with emotions and beliefs, and it infected him forcefully despite the huge gap in their cultivation levels. He felt as if he had traveled through time and space and experienced a lifetime of battles. What he saw, felt, and thought were all clear and distinct, and remained deeply in his heart.

He understood that this had something to do with the other party's profound piano skills, but more importantly it was due to his own yearning for this kind of spirit and belief.

The piano music gave him the opportunity to immerse himself, and he chose to immerse himself.

Since he was five years old, his life has been controlled by others.

As he himself said:
"I am a poor fish. Over the years, I have tried my best to jump up again and again. Every time I thought I was getting rid of the river, I leaped up into the air and rushed towards another river of life that belonged to me. But every time I was caught. A big hand forcibly grabbed it back and threw it back into the unchanging current, always moving in one direction."

He longed to break free from the shackles and longed for freedom. If possible, he would only want to be a boy playing the piano and spend his life ordinary and free.

But the reality left him no choice. He could not be free, and even could not die. He longed to throw everything aside and fight for his freedom, but Taixuanmen was his weak spot and he could not let it go.

Now that he has the opportunity to fight against heaven and earth without any scruples in the world of piano music, he is reluctant to leave.

However, the piano music will eventually come to an end, and Liu Mang is not going to take Hua Yunfei away with an Infinite Tsukuyomi. After the piano music stops, the impact is gradually not enough to allow Hua Yunfei, a four-pole genius, to continue to immerse himself in it. He will eventually have to return to this unchanging stream.

Hua Yunfei looked up at the sky with a sense of loss: "Brother Li, can people really put aside everything and fight to the end?"

Liu Mang stood up, walked to Hua Yunfei, and put the zither back into his hands:
"You shouldn't ask if you can, but if you will. This is a personal choice and everything is in your own hands. But if you are asking yourself, my answer is no."

Hua Yunfei was silent for a moment and asked, "Why not?"

Liu Mang picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine and drank it: "Because you are not that kind of person."

Is Hua Yunfei a good person?
He is definitely not a good person as he assassinated many geniuses and devoured their physical essence.

But he is not a purely bad guy.

He has done his utmost to help Taixuan Sect, and he is willing to sacrifice himself to protect this root.

He couldn't give up Taixuan Sect and turn against the ruthless clan.

Therefore, he could not break free from his bondage.

He didn't even have the chance to have a fair fight with the Holy Son of Yaoguang.

Hua Yunfei was silent for a long time, then he raised his head again, with the same smile that had remained the same for decades appearing on his face.

"Brother Li's skills are close to Taoism, Yunfei admires you. If you have time, you can often come to Taixuanmen as a guest, Yunfei will open the bed to welcome you."

This is seeing you off.

Liu Mang drank the last glass of wine, put down the glass, turned around and looked at the sky, with his back to Hua Yunfei.

At that moment, Liu Mang noticed Hua Yunfei's unusual movement. He seemed to want to take action very much, but was immediately suppressed.

Hua Yunfei has been pretending for so many years that no one can tell his thoughts and true nature at first sight. He is confident that he can hide it from the world.

But when he saw Liu Mang today, he was no longer confident, especially the song that seemed to be prepared specially for him, and the understanding of him that was vaguely revealed in a few words, which made him shudder.

He felt that he had been seen through by the other party.

If they don't take the opportunity to kill him now, once his situation is exposed, both he and Taixuan Sect will be in danger.

He was struggling. This was a close friend and also an enemy. How should he choose?

Fortunately, Liu Mang did not give him the opportunity to choose.

Although Liu Mang was only at the third level of the Dao Palace, and Hua Yunfei was at the first level of the Four Extremes, when Liu Mang exposed his back to Hua Yunfei, he had no confidence in succeeding in one strike. He even felt that as long as he dared to take action, not to mention killing the opponent by sneak attack, he might even be defeated by the opponent's counterattack with thunderous force.

He recalled the firm belief in fighting against heaven and earth in the music of the piano. That was undoubtedly the opponent's will. With such a will, even if the opponent's cultivation was lower than his, he would naturally be a terrifying enemy.

He didn't stand a chance.
While he was hesitating, the opponent had already walked away, and a sneak attack at this time was completely useless.

While feeling regretful, he also felt relieved that this soulmate was finally retained, albeit passively.

He recalled all the geniuses and heroes in his memory, but could not find any trace of the Yaoguang disciple named Li Hong.

This outstanding person, who brought him even greater pressure than the Ji family's Divine King Body a few months ago, had no information circulating in the Eastern Wilderness. This world was truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
-
After leaving the mountain where Hua Yunfei was and making sure that the other party could not find him, Liu Mang breathed a sigh of relief.

He was not afraid of Hua Yunfei, but it was undeniable that he was still far behind Hua Yunfei in every aspect. If they really fought, he would most likely not be his opponent. Moreover, this was Taixuan Sect. If they really fought with Hua Yunfei, would the people of Taixuan Sect just sit back and watch?

If Hua Yunfei doesn't take action, it's fine. But if he does, he will definitely kill him. In this situation, it's better not to fight if possible.

Fortunately, he relied on his personality and superb piano skills to scare Hua Yunfei and avoid an unnecessary fight. This time he gained a lot.

One of the gains was that it left a deep impression on Hua Yunfei and let him know that he was exposed. In this way, when Shi Yating had no confidence in dealing with Liu Mang, she was temporarily safe.

Secondly, Liu Mang had previously used the sound of his piano to guide Hua Yunfei to immerse himself in his own world, and they had a one-sided mind-to-mind connection. He took the opportunity to find out about Hua Yunfei's skills and obtained a small part of the scriptures of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art.

There are not many opportunities like this. Only with Hua Yunfei, whom he knows well and is willing to cooperate with, can he obtain some of the opponent's scriptures through this method. If it were someone else, he would be attacked as soon as the sound of the piano sounded, and there would be no chance at all.

However, this was originally a free gift, and it was enough to succeed once. Liu Mang did not expect it to happen again.

The small part of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art is really a small part, less than 10%, and it is not continuous, with incomplete parts everywhere, and there is no way to practice it according to it.

But even if there were only a few words, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art, as a well-known imperial scripture, was enough for Liu Mang to learn from and study.

Returning to the small courtyard arranged for him by Xingfeng, Shi Yating was lying on the stone table in the yard, bored and dazed. Her little feet were swinging under the table, kicking the table legs again and again, causing stone powder to fall off. The stone legs were almost completely broken.

"Good fellow, you openly destroyed public property. If you are asked to pay for it later, you will have to pay for it yourself."

Shi Yating turned to look at Liu Mang and continued to kick the table leg, "I have met Hua Yunfei. How do you feel? Do you feel hairy all over your body?"

Liu Mang touched his head and said, "So this is how you feel when you see him. I'm fine, but if anyone is going to get scared, it's probably Hua Yunfei who's going to get scared."

Shi Yating stopped and tilted her head and asked, "Are you so dangerous that you can make Hua Yunfei feel scared?"

"Humph!" Liu Mang took two steps forward, lifted Shi Yating up and placed her on his lap. He grabbed her hands and gestured randomly while saying:
"Who do you think I am? With Hua Yunfei's level, how can he compare to me in terms of danger? You don't feel I'm dangerous because I don't have any feelings towards you. Otherwise, not only would the hairs on your body stand up, but they would even fall off!"

Shi Yating slapped Liu Mang's hand away in dissatisfaction, jumped out of Liu Mang's arms, and turned to face him.

"you are leaving?"

Although it was a question, his tone was full of affirmation.

Liu Mang nodded honestly: "Yes, I am going back to Yaoguang Holy Land. I am still waiting to go back and upgrade to a core disciple. The mission is completed."

Shi Yating wrinkled her nose. "Can't you stay in Taixuan Sect? I can ask Master to accept you as a disciple, and you will directly become the highest-level disciple of Taixuan Sect. Why do you have to go back to Yaoguang Holy Land and upgrade level by level?"

The Taixuan Sect is not much weaker than the Yaoguang Holy Land. The highest-level disciples of the Taixuan Sect are in any case more senior and better treated than the sixth-level core disciples of the Yaoguang Holy Land.

Liu Mang chuckled: "Little girl, do you still want to be my senior sister?"

He pinched Shi Yating's smooth and tender face, and was kicked in the face by her.

Shi Yating is doing well in Taixuan Sect. Listen to what she said. She asked the Lord of Xingfeng to accept her as a disciple instead of begging the Lord of Xingfeng to accept her as a disciple. This shows her status.

Unfortunately, Taixuanmen and Yaoguang Holy Land are different.

"You don't understand. Although Taixuan Sect and Yaoguang Holy Land seem to be not much different, the gap is actually so huge that you can't imagine. The gap is not on the surface, but in the foundation. The fact that Yaoguang Holy Land has the Supreme Emperor's Weapon is the reason why I can't give up." Liu Mang explained softly.

Shi Yating frowned: "Ultimate Emperor Weapon? I remember you said that this is the weapon of the ancient emperor, with unpredictable power. But Yaoguang Holy Land has never produced an emperor, where did they get the Ultimate Emperor Weapon?"

Liu Mang naturally knew where he came from, but he couldn't tell Shi Yating. This guy was too honest and couldn't hide anything. If he really told the truth, Yaoguang Holy Land would not show mercy.

Therefore, Liu Mang could only shake his head: "Don't worry about it. They have it anyway. I'm going for the Jidao Emperor Soldier. Taixuanmen doesn't have it, so I definitely can't stay."

Shi Yating opened her mouth and quickly found a reason to keep Liu Mang, at least to let him stay here for a while to accompany her.

After a long time, Shi Yating's eyes lit up and she said bluntly, "Then I'm pregnant, you have to stay and take care of me!"

"puff!"

Liu Mang almost blew it out. He said excitedly: "Fuck you, what are you talking about! I didn't do anything!"

Shi Yating covered her ears and shook her head desperately: "I don't care, stay one more month!"

As Shi Yating's body shrank, her mind also seemed to shrink, and she even learned to fool around.

Liu Mang had no choice but to stay with her for another month.

A month later, Liu Mang rose from Taixuan Gate, turned into a huge sun, and flew into the sky, rushing back to the Yaoguang Holy Land at a high speed.

This month, his cultivation level broke through again and he was promoted to the fourth level of the Dao Palace. He opened the divine treasure of the spleen and his strength increased greatly again.

At the same time, he had practiced "So Close Yet So Far Away" to a relatively advanced level. Once he used it, his speed would increase by more than seven or eight times.

However, the reason why the secret technique is called a secret technique is that it is not often used. "A World Away" consumes a lot of energy. It is okay to use it in critical moments such as battles, but if it is also used for daily travel, Liu Mang does not even have the confidence to fly back to the Yaoguang Holy Land in one go.

In this regard, Shenhong Flying is more practical. It consumes less energy and is not slow. You won't run tens of thousands of miles and gasp for air.

On the way back, he was attacked by a mysterious man. The man's attack was so earth-shattering that it even collapsed a mountain.

Liu Mang immediately recognized that it was Hua Yunfei who came to test his strength.

He didn't accept the attack, but directly used the "So Close Yet So Far" technique to get rid of the man and continued on his way.

Hua Yunfei did not pursue him. Perhaps at this stage, he had not yet mastered the various secret techniques of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art. Seeing that he could not catch up with Liu Mang, who had almost mastered "A World Away", he naturally did not want to follow behind and get embarrassed.

Within two days, Liu Mang returned to the Yaoguang Holy Land. He ran non-stop to the Tianguang Palace to hand in the task. When he came out again, he had become a core disciple of the Tianguang Palace. The Yaoguang Holy Land was finally completed to the Xiantai volume, and the scriptures were complete.

He looked up the promotion requirements for the Holy Light Temple's inherited disciples and found that they were similar to those for the core disciples.

First of all, the Holy Land Contribution needs to reach 10,000 points. Coincidentally, when he was trying to collect 1,000 points of Holy Land Contribution, he also collected 10,000 points. Now all he needs is the promotion task of the Holy Light Temple.

For normal disciples, the promotion task of the Holy Light Temple is much more difficult than the previous one of gathering information and killing any 10 wild beasts in the Dao Palace realm.

This mission is a fixed-target mission, which requires Liu Mang to kill a fifth-level Taoist Divine Arm Ape. This is an alien beast with ancient bloodline, and its strength is far beyond that of ordinary beasts.

This is equivalent to the difference between a genius at the fifth level of the Dao Palace and an ordinary cultivator at the fifth level of the Dao Palace. They have the same cultivation level, but the genius at the fifth level of the Dao Palace may be able to defeat even a cultivator at the first level of the Four Extremes. The difference is huge.

However, Liu Mang completed the task without a doubt. The Divine Arm Ape, who was at the fifth level of the Dao Palace, was far inferior to him in strength, even though he was only at the fourth level of the Dao Palace.

In the fourth month after arriving at the Yaoguang Holy Land, Liu Mang has been upgraded from a fourth-level true disciple to a seventh-level inheritance disciple, which is an average of one level per month, which is as fast as lightning.

When you become a disciple of inheritance, you no longer need to complete promotion tasks. As long as you can learn the sacred arts passed down by the corresponding holy temple, you can be promoted to a candidate for the Holy Son.

After learning the supreme sacred arts of the corresponding holy temple, you can become a quasi-holy son, and then it’s a matter of competing for a position.

After he was promoted to a disciple of inheritance, the Holy Light Temple passed on to him the sacred art of appearance arrangement called "Holy Light Art".

This "Holy Light Technique" is a holy technique from the Yaoguang Holy Land that is famous in the Eastern Wilds. When it is cast, it emits a golden light to protect the body, making it extremely strong and invulnerable to all kinds of attacks. The illusory light will turn into real gold and iron.

This "Holy Light Technique" is the predecessor of "Hunyuan Holy Light Technique", one of the six supreme skills of Yaoguang. Coincidentally, the supreme inheritance of the Holy Light Temple is "Hunyuan Holy Light Technique".

The current Holy Son of Yaoguang came out of the Holy Light Temple, mastered the Holy Light Temple's supreme skill "Hunyuan Holy Light Technique", seized the position of Holy Son, and suppressed the younger generation of Yaoguang for nearly twenty years.

Now Liu Mang has also obtained the "Holy Light Technique" and embarked on the previous path of the Holy Son Yaoguang.

"The Art of Holy Light" is not the supreme secret of the Holy Light Temple, but it is also a holy method handed down from generation to generation. It focuses on defense and is a very advanced body-protecting divine light. This is the first time that Liu Mang has come into contact with this kind of holy method.

Perhaps he had a special affinity with defense. It took him only one day to master the Art of Holy Light, which was almost the same amount of time as it took him to master the Art of So Close Yet So Far Away.

Compared with the previous attack-type sacred art "Original Holy Thunder Sound", which took so long to master with the help of the Great Leiyin Temple, it is a world of difference.

"Is my talent in defense and running?" Liu Mang was speechless. Although he loved life-saving techniques, this talent seemed a bit too crooked.

Getting started with magic means that one can perform it. The evaluation criterion for the candidate saints of Yaoguang Holy Land is the entry into the holy arts.

Liu Mang mastered the "Holy Light Technique" just one day after he obtained it. This speed was extremely explosive in the history of Yaoguang Holy Land over tens of thousands of years, especially since Liu Mang was only at the fourth level of the Taoist Palace.

The leader of the Holy Light Temple was alarmed. This was a powerful immortal of the second level, nearly two thousand years old. His beard dragged down to his chest, but his body was still strong.

He summoned Liu Mang, personally gave him the token of the candidate Son of God, and taught him the Holy Light Temple's supreme skill "Hunyuan Holy Light Technique". He also took the initiative to explain the "Hunyuan Holy Light Technique" and "Yaoguang Holy Scripture" to Liu Mang for a day.

Whether it is the "Holy Light Technique" or the "Hunyuan Holy Light Technique", the basis is the "Yaoguang Holy Scripture". Without the "Yaoguang Holy Scripture", the power of the "Holy Light Technique" and the "Hunyuan Holy Light Technique" will drop sharply, and they cannot even be called holy techniques.

And after repairing the "Yaoguang Holy Scripture", even if you don't have the "Holy Light Technique" and the "Hunyuan Holy Light Technique", you can still comprehend the secret techniques that are not much different on your own.

To put it bluntly, the supporting holy arts such as "Holy Light Art" and "Hunyuan Holy Light Art" are used to unleash the power of "Yaoguang Holy Scripture". The scriptures are the foundation, and practice must not put the cart before the horse.

The leader of the Holy Light Temple is worthy of being the supreme leader of this lineage. His understanding of the "Yaoguang Holy Scripture" is extraordinary, far surpassing that of Liu Mang today.

After a day and a night of explanation, Liu Mang understood a lot of the essence of the "Yaoguang Holy Scripture". The divine wheel behind his head was completely condensed, and it was so bright that it was impossible to open his eyes.

The light emanating from his body also surged, and his entire body was enveloped in pure white divine light, appearing extremely holy.

Combined with the divine wheel behind his head, he is simply a god descending to the earth. The Son of Yaoguang is no more than this.

A month later, Liu Mang mastered the art of Hunyuan Holy Light. Once he put it into practice, he was surrounded by endless flames. The strength of his body surged, and everything was destroyed under the holy light. It was very domineering.

The leader of the Holy Light Temple was alarmed again, and the Holy Lord Li Daoqing came in person and bestowed Liu Mang with the token of the Quasi-Saint Son, saying that Liu Mang was an unparalleled genius who could be compared with the Saint Son of Yaoguang.

The Yaoguang Holy Land shook violently!
