Chapter 95: Secret Realm of the Zither cultivator

Su Yu put down the wine cup in his hand. "Indeed. Back then, we were still worried about how to reach Qi Refining Stage 3, yet in the blink of an eye, we have already reached the Golden Core Stage."

Han Shi possessed the Legacy of the Soul Transformation Stage, so he understood the situation in the Southern Region very well, and even had some information about the Spirit Domain within his Legacy.

He also knew that it would be somewhat difficult for him to travel to the Spirit Domain when he eventually reached the Void Refining Stage.

To be precise, without an Opportunity, he would not be able to leave the Southern Region to see the wider world; for him, he could not leave the Southern Region without a great Opportunity.

Su Yu was the same, but Ye Lin was different; at his current pace, it would be effortless for him to go to the Spirit Domain.

The three of them would always have a day of parting. He and Su Yu were fine; unless there were special circumstances, he and Su Yu were destined to bid farewell to Ye Lin.

He understood this logic, and he thought Su Yu should know it too. After all, it wouldn't be long before Ye Lin achieved a Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Stage, truly becoming one of the people standing at the pinnacle of the Southern Region.

But both of them were sensible enough not to bring it up; living well in the present was what they needed to do now.

After bidding farewell to Han Shi, Su Yu returned home.

Upon returning home, Su Yu's life hadn't really changed, except that he no longer had to manage the piece of spirit field he was previously responsible for.

Now, he only needed to go out occasionally to help the Sect with some tasks.

Previously, in the Miscellaneous Affairs department, he was among the highest-cultivation Elders of Miscellaneous Affairs, but now it was different; he was among the lowest-cultivation Outer Sect Elders.

Generally, Cultivators at the Golden Core Stage would not pay attention to him.

Inside the Profound Heaven Sect, Leng Jiahang was secretly observing those Demon Clan members who were undercover. They didn't even know they were Demon Clan members, only thinking they were undercover agents from other Sects.

It was only later that they discovered they were undercover agents for the Demon Race.

With their current cultivation levels, they couldn't access any important intelligence, and what they learned was just basic data, so there was no need to worry.

Right now, their presence in the Profound Heaven Sect had no impact.

Su Yu was in his courtyard at this time, preparing to play after a long absence, and he took out his zither.

This zither was named Luoxia, and it was crafted by himself.

Just as Su Yu was preparing to play, a voice rang out.

"Brother Su, preparing to play the zither?"

Su Yu looked at the person who had arrived: Ke Qiao. This was one of his friends in the Profound Heaven Sect.

He had met him because of the zither back then. Ke Qiao's Musical Talent was quite good, but he was still a considerable distance away from reaching the Realm of Zither Intent.

He didn't have few friends in the Profound Heaven Sect; after all, even a Passerby would have some friends.

He also had some good friends he met through chess, who would occasionally come to find him for a game.

They would also come to find Su Yu to form a team and seek Opportunities together, and Su Yu would go along to act as a Passerby.

However, they didn't come to find Su Yu to go together very often, and Su Yu would sometimes refuse them.

After all, Su Yu also had a Passerby squad, and he was quite satisfied with that squad.

Wang Yang and Li Yun had also entered the Golden Core Stage not long after that great battle with the Yao Race.

They had come to find Su Yu to celebrate back then. Thinking of this, Su Yu should invite them to the courtyard to celebrate; they didn't know the information about his own Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage yet.

He also needed to engage in this kind of behavior of celebrating with friends as a Passerby; he had to maintain his identity as a Passerby.

Su Yu looked at Ke Qiao. "Oh, Brother Ke is here. Are you here to spar with me on Musical Talent again?"

"It just so happens that I was also preparing to play the zither."

Ke Qiao quickly shook his head. "No, no, no, I am not here to spar with you on Musical Talent this time. I have come with intelligence that you will definitely be interested in."

Oh, Su Yu was also a bit curious about what intelligence Ke Qiao said he would definitely be interested in.

He watched Ke Qiao's smug expression, clearly wanting to keep him in suspense.

"Look at that smug expression of yours. Alright, stop keeping me in suspense. Tell me, what is it?"

Ke Qiao composed himself and said with a serious expression, "Brother Su, you must also have a good understanding of Zither Intent, after all, neither of our Musical Talents is bad."

"I know that. Currently, there are very few people who possess Zither Intent, after all, not many people study this."

Those who study the Dao of the Zither, upon reaching a certain level, all yearn to possess their own Zither Intent; only with Zither Intent do you truly possess the Soul of the zither.

This is also the dream of every Cultivator who loves the zither.

At this time, Su Yu also feigned a look of shock and slowly said, "Brother Ke, could it be that you came to find me this time because of this matter regarding Zither Intent?"

Ke Qiao looked at Su Yu's shocked expression and, seeing that he had achieved the desired effect, smiled triumphantly. "That's right, I came here this time exactly because of this."

"I won't keep you in suspense anymore. I recently heard news that a Secret Realm of a Zither cultivator is about to open."

"It is said that there is a Legacy of a Zither cultivator in that Secret Realm, and that Zither cultivator left behind the zither music he played using Zither Intent for people to comprehend."

"For people like us, this is an excellent Opportunity."

"This is a piece played by a Cultivator who possesses Zither Intent. I think you know how rare it is to hear one, even without me saying it."

Su Yu did indeed know this; after all, there were not many people who possessed Zither Intent, unlike Sword Intent and Saber Intent, which had many practitioners.

Su Yu nodded. "I know that."

Su Yu's Zither Intent was also about to enter the next Realm; it wouldn't be long before he could unleash the Domain of the Zither, and his Dao of Chess was the same.

At that time, he would also be able to recreate those scenes that others were currently discussing.

"That's right, Brother Su. The Zither cultivators who learned about this Secret Realm are already on their way. The key is that this Secret Realm is said to have no danger."

"I came to you, Brother Ke, to invite you to go together and comprehend this Zither Intent. After all, I don't want you to be left far behind by me."

Su Yu did not refuse upon hearing this; in any case, he just needed to play his part as a Passerby when the time came.

When the time came, he would just sit there and put on an act.

"Alright, Brother Ke, I must thank you for your invitation this time, otherwise I would have missed an Opportunity."

Ke Qiao scratched his head. "It's nothing."

"There is no time to lose, let's set off immediately. I can't wait any longer."

The two did not hesitate anymore, turning into two beams of light and disappearing from the courtyard.

When the two arrived at the Secret Realm, they saw quite a few people there, though not as many as those normal Secret Realms.

Su Yu could also see that the temperament of many people was quite refined; they were indeed Zither cultivators.

There were also some who never left their zithers, sitting there holding their instruments while waiting for the Secret Realm to open.

At this moment, Su Yu swept his Divine Sense across; wasn't that Ling Wanqing? She had also disguised herself, just like he had seen in the Restaurant before; she looked like an ordinary woman.

Furthermore, her surface cultivation was the same as his, at the early Golden Core Stage. There were very few people in this Southern Region who could discover her disguise; after all, she was, at the very least, a Cultivator at the Soul Transformation Stage.

If Su Yu were an ordinary person, he wouldn't have been able to discover that a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator had mixed in among them.

Su Yu hadn't expected to see Ling Wanqing here, but on second thought, Ling Wanqing was probably also here for the Zither Intent inside.
