I swept the Phoenix with the Onmyoji Shikigami

Chapter 284 The Legendary Zither God

Dianwu also nodded with emotion.

"Yes, me too. When I said that word: Enough, I realized that I could stop at any time and no longer indulge in desire. I don't have to be better than others, or better than anyone else, or even myself. Life is an experience, and cultivation is also an experience. The results don't have to be forced."

Shen Xing's eyes flashed with a faint mist, and he said calmly,

"Finally, when I crossed the seemingly endless desert and stood on another oasis, I knew that I had passed the test of the illusion. At that moment, I felt a deep sense of inner peace and satisfaction, as if the whole world was cheering for me."

The noise from the audience surged like a tide, breaking the originally peaceful atmosphere. Their voices of dissatisfaction and doubts rose and fell, as if to fill the entire space.

"Shen Xing lied!" Some people shouted angrily. They thought Shen Xing concealed the real illusion he had experienced, which they considered to be the most difficult and complex challenge. In their opinion, this concealment was disrespectful to the audience and a stain on their own honor.

Others pointed out more pointedly: "He must be one of the four legendary gods! His origins must be very complicated!"

Such speculation spread quickly among the audience like wildfire. They began to use various mysterious and ancient legends to explain Shen Xing's behavior and identity, as if he had become some kind of mythical existence.

In this chaos, Ling Zun and Xingzhi Shenjun were particularly shocked. As witnesses and judges of this competition, they witnessed Shen Xing and Dianwu's performance in the illusion.

They were deeply shocked by Shen Xing's tenacity and wisdom, and Dianwu's courage and self-transcendence. But they also understood that the audience's doubts and speculations were not groundless, and Shen Xing's identity and experience were indeed full of mysteries.

However, they are more aware that as gods and elders, they should remain calm and rational.

They believed that Shen Xing had his own difficulties and considerations, and they also believed that he would reveal his true identity and experience at the right time. Therefore, they chose to remain silent, using silence to express their support and trust in Shen Xing.

As time went on, the audience's emotions gradually calmed down.

Just like the conversation between Shen Xing and Dian Wu, wait until Shen Xing finished the last word.

He closed his eyes gently and returned to the moment when he pushed open the wooden door.

Shen Xing breathed in and out gently, slowly gathering the spiritual power surging in his body into his dantian.

As his spiritual power subsided, his mind also returned to calm, but his eyes flashed with a more determined light. In the illusion trial just now, he not only successfully dealt with many crises, but also realized the essence of the powerful skill "Sky Suppression" in actual combat.

He closed his eyes and pondered, the process of performing "Sky Suppression" clearly emerged in his mind:

First, you need to gather all the spiritual power in your body and gather it in your palm to form a spiritual bead containing the power of heaven and earth. This spiritual bead is not only the key to performing skills, but also the medium to communicate with the sky and mobilize the power of heaven and earth.

Then, Shen Xing would slowly unfold the mysterious "Heaven and Earth Sky Scroll", an ancient and powerful magical instrument that was said to be able to carry and release the endless power above the sky. As the scroll unfolded, a majestic aura of heaven and earth spread out, echoing the spirit bead in Shen Xing's hand.

When the best time to release the power is reached, Shen Xing will suddenly throw the spirit bead into the air, and at the same time silently recite a spell in his heart, calling for the power of the sky to descend. The spirit bead suddenly expands in the air, turning into a vast phantom of the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and enveloping the enemy.

Under this sky, enemies will feel an indescribable sense of oppression, as if the weight of the entire world is pressing on their shoulders.

Afterwards, the power of the sky transformed into countless thunders and storms, suppressing the enemy violently, causing area damage and greatly reducing its movement speed.

Shen Xing knew that "Sky Suppression" was not only a powerful attack skill, but also a profound understanding and application of the power of heaven and earth. In future battles, he would master this skill more skillfully to deal with the provocation of the demons.

Shen Xing's heart was just filled with joy and relief for having passed through the illusion, but the scene before him was as unpredictable as flowing water, pulling him into a new illusion again.

This time, he found himself standing next to an exquisite white marble table, on which lay quietly a simple and elegant guqin, the body of which exuded a faint warm luster, as if it contained endless stories and emotions.

Shen Xing's eyes were involuntarily attracted to the guqin. Just as he was about to take a closer look at it, a melodious and clear guqin sound suddenly rang out, like the sound of nature, penetrating the boundaries of time and space and striking the depths of his soul.

He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man who looked like a man and a woman sitting opposite him. The person was dressed in clothes that looked like flowing clouds, had long hair like a waterfall, and his brows revealed a transcendental temperament.

Shen Xing's heart moved, and he immediately realized that the identity of this young man was extraordinary. He had read the legend of the God of Qin in ancient books, the god who controlled everything with the sound of the Qin, could soothe people's hearts, and could also frighten demons - Lingyin. The young man in front of him was undoubtedly the legendary God of Qin.

"Shen Xing, welcome to my fantasy world." Lingyin's voice was as gentle and magnetic as his piano music, making people involuntarily indulge in it. "It's not easy for you to pass through two fantasy worlds in a row. But remember, the real test has just begun."

Shen Xing was surprised when he heard this, but he was more excited about the unknown challenge. He knew that it was a great honor and opportunity to meet the piano god Lingyin and accept his test. So he bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Qin Shen Lingyin. Shen Xing will definitely go all out and live up to your expectations."

Lingyin smiled slightly, and gently plucked the strings of the guqin with her fingers. The melodious sound of the guqin rang out again, as if cheering for Shen Xing.

The zither god said to Shen Xing, "I've heard that you are very intelligent. Today I'm going to make a bet with you. If you can guess the origin and story of the zither in my hand within half an hour, I will give it to you. If you can't guess it, you have to promise to play a song for me. How about that?"

When Shen Xing heard this, a hint of curiosity and excitement flashed in his eyes. He knew that being able to bet with the legendary Qin Shen Lingyin was a rare opportunity and a test of his wisdom and insight. So, he smiled and confidently replied, "Qin Shen Lingyin, I accept this bet. Please teach me."
