Monarch Of Time-Novel

Chapter 402 - 402 Hua Fengyu

Shun Long felt another wave of memories slowly waking up inside his mind, as he found himself inside a simple yet spacious room without many decorations.

He found himself sitting cross-legged on a small silver cushion placed on the floor, while in front of him was a black-colored, plucked, seven-stringed musical instrument, that didn’t have any supportive legs.

Shun Long only needed a single glance to recognize this, as the instrument of the sages, the guqin.

Even more waves of memories flooded his head at that moment, before Shun Long saw himself raising his right hand ever-so-slightly, placing it right above the seven-stringed instrument.

As his hand was hanging above the guqin, he was unaware that his eyes had a calm look inside them, like a lake that no one could cause any ripples into it, as his finger then gently plucked a single string.

Ping~

An extremely beautiful and melodic sound echoed throughout the spacious room, causing a myriad of emotions to rise in Shun Long’s heart like a tempestuous storm.

This, was the guqin!

This was the musical instrument that he had played countless times in the past, be it when he had wanted to placate his own feelings, or when he wanted to enjoy his spare time.

Although not many people outside of the Heaven Trampling Legion knew about it, ’Shun Long’s’ skills with the guqin were actually second to no one.

The melody when he played the guqin could help someone enter a state of enlightenment through a single note, or it could actually kill immortals with the pluck of a single string!

This was the power of someone who had reached the absolute pinnacle with a musical instrument!

Shun Long’s fingers didn’t stop, and with practiced movements, he plucked a second string before the melody of the first one could dissipate in the air.

Peng~

His fingers continued to move skillfully but without any hurry, as the quiet and soul-stirring melodic sounds started to spread even further away from the spacious room.

As he looked at his hands that continued to pluck the guqin’s strings, Shun Long could feel his own soul being cleansed in the process, as a feeling of indescribable tranquility and calmness filled his heart!

A few minutes later, his hand plucked the final string of the guqin as he finished the song, before he then raised his head and looked at the person who was sitting in front of him.

It was a peerlessly beautiful woman dressed in black armor, with long black hair tied in a ponytail and mesmerizing purple-colored eyes.

This gorgeous woman had a look of infatuation on her face, while her gaze that was looking at ’Shun Long’ was no different as if she was staring at her entire world, completely ignoring anything else in her surroundings.

A myriad of emotions appeared in Shun Long’s heart the moment that he saw this peerlessly beautiful woman in front of him whose looks weren’t inferior to even Liu Mei’s, while a single name had appeared in his mind at the same time

’’Hua Fengyu!’’

This was the 3rd commander of his Heaven Trampling Legion!

The scene in Shun Long’s eyes then instantly shattered, while the myriad of memories were rapidly integrating themselves inside his mind, as Shun Long found himself returning back to the small city where the test of the Holy sect was taking place.

As more and more fragments of different scenes were still appearing in his mind one after the other, Shun Long only needed a moment to realize what was going on as a single thought appeared in his mind

’’These... are all my own memories.’’

At that moment, Shun Long unconsciously raised his head to look in the sky above him, only to see 3 bright balls of qi floating inside the ’Monarch’s Hourglass’. He could feel large amounts of qi stored inside the 3 balls, while their color had also changed, and was no longer a white one but a bright silver instead!

It only took a moment for Shun Long to realize that he had unconsciously fallen into a state of enlightenment, unintentionally beginning his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

At the same time, cold sweat had appeared on his forehead, realizing how dangerous a breakthrough in this place really was.

After all, he was completely unable to fight if anyone happened to attack him at this moment, causing him to fail in his breakthrough and most likely injure his soul in the process.

The only thing that he could do, was to try and finish it as quickly as possible.

The gigantic black-colored vortex above his head continued to absorb the qi from the entire city like a black hole, as it continued to supply Shun Long with enormous amounts of pure qi.

Although the purity of this qi wasn’t even close to that of the ’Heaven Swallowing vine’, Shun Long didn’t need to absorb it, and he only needed to make use of it to merge the remaining 3 balls of qi into one.

During this time, although there were no longer any vivid-like scenes like earlier, fragments of memories continued to appear inside his mind, one after the other, making the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage even more difficult!

Shun Long could feel that he was standing on a tight rope while trying hard to maintain his lucidity, and keep himself from falling asleep and losing himself into his memories.

Half an hour later, after absorbing enormous amounts of qi in the process, the 3 balls of qi had been merged into a single, bright silver ball that was emitting large amounts of qi.

This was the culmination of the previous 81 balls of qi from the pinnacle of the Spirit realm, all condensed into one.

Taking a deep breath, Shun Long closed his eyes for a single moment, before he waved his hand, as an alchemy bottle with a single pill inside appeared in front of him.
