Chapter 100: The Manifestation of the Great Dao

Seeing that even Feng Qingling from the Wanhuang Spirit Mountain could not compare to the Tianqin Maiden in the art of the guqin, the admiration in the hearts of the Third Prince and others grew even stronger.

"Hehe, the Tianqin Maiden has inherited the teachings of the sect master of the Xianwu Qin Sect. In terms of guqin skills, I fear no one can surpass you," the young master of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce flattered.

"That's not entirely true. My master once said that there is one person whose guqin skills she cannot match," the Tianqin Maiden suddenly said.

"Oh? Who might that be?" the Third Prince asked.

Everyone present was also very curious.

In terms of strength, the sect master of the Xianwu Qin Sect might not rank among the top in the荒天仙域 (荒天仙域, "Wild Heaven Immortal Domain").

But in terms of guqin skills, that sect master could be considered the best.

The Tianqin Maiden shook her head slightly and said, "My master did not elaborate, only mentioning that this person seems to have some connection to the Jun family."

Upon hearing this, many around were quite astonished.

"The Ancient Jun Family?" The Third Prince's eyes flickered.

If there was one name that had been mentioned the most in the imperial capital recently, it would be Jun Xiaoyao.

"Jun family..." A hint of coldness flashed in Feng Qingling's eyes.

She had no good feelings towards the Jun family.

As for Jun Xiaoyao, he too felt somewhat surprised.

"Could it be such a coincidence?" Jun Xiaoyao recalled his mysterious protector who had never shown themselves.

That protector's guqin skills were already strong enough to easily defeat a sage.

Jun Xiaoyao speculated that the person the Tianqin Maiden referred to, whom even the sect master of the Xianwu Qin Sect admired, was likely his protector.

At this moment, the old woman who was protecting the Tianqin Maiden spoke up, "Is there anyone else who wishes to challenge the young lady?"

The entire top floor of the Xianqiong Building fell silent.

Even Feng Qingling from the Wanhuang Spirit Mountain had been defeated.

Who else would dare to step forward?

"Young master, it seems this guqin competition is about to end," Qin Xuan said from the side.

However, Jun Xiaoyao stood up.

"Young master?" Qin Xuan looked puzzled.

"I hope to challenge the Tianqin Maiden, if that is acceptable," Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.

All eyes turned to Jun Xiaoyao.

A hint of surprise flashed in the Tianqin Maiden's beautiful eyes.

She had been quietly observing Jun Xiaoyao, after all, his demeanor was too extraordinary.

"Of course, I didn't expect the young master to also have guqin skills," the Tianqin Maiden said, taking the initiative to respond.

"Sort of, I've only been playing for a few months," Jun Xiaoyao replied.

Since he signed in and obtained the Fengming Qishan, it had indeed only been a few months.

However, as soon as these words were spoken, the entire Xianqiong Building fell silent.

Many people wore expressions of shock.

"Is this person making fun of the Tianqin Maiden?"

"Only a few months of learning the guqin, and he wants to challenge the Tianqin Maiden, the number one in the Wild Heaven Immortal Domain?"

Everyone felt that this mysterious young master was probably here to amuse them.

Even the Tianqin Maiden, whose temperament was as cold as ice, was momentarily taken aback.

If it were anyone else, the Tianqin Maiden would likely not even consider competing with them.

But Jun Xiaoyao's aura was too unique, like a celestial being, making it impossible to refuse and sparking curiosity.

"Very well, then please proceed, young master," the Tianqin Maiden said, her gaze deep.

Jun Xiaoyao sat cross-legged on the high platform.

A hint of cold sarcasm appeared in Feng Qingling's eyes.

If she couldn't even compare to the Tianqin Maiden, how could someone who had only learned for a few months possibly compete?

But in the next moment, Feng Qingling's eyes suddenly froze.

Her pupils constricted, and it felt as if her breath had stopped.

Because Jun Xiaoyao had taken out an ancient guqin.

Crimson and gilded, exquisitely beautiful, emanating a profound and powerful aura.

It was the ancient guqin, Fengming Qishan.

"Did I see that wrong? Is that an Ancient Sacred Weapon?"

"It really is an Ancient Sacred Weapon! Who exactly is this young master, to casually take out an Ancient Sacred Weapon!"

If just moments ago, many had been somewhat dismissive of Jun Xiaoyao, now they were completely shocked!

After all, not everyone could produce an Ancient Sacred Weapon.

"That young master must be a descendant of some immortal lineage!" someone thought to themselves.

The Third Prince also wore a face of suspicion.

Throughout the Xianqiong Building, numerous discussions began to arise.

Feng Qingling looked at Fengming Qishan, her beautiful eyes filled with unprecedented fervor.

That guqin resonated with her too perfectly.

If she had obtained that guqin earlier, perhaps she wouldn't have lost to the Tianqin Maiden.

Greed surged in Feng Qingling's eyes.

As a member of the ancient royal family, dominance was ingrained in their very nature.

Meanwhile, the Tianqin Maiden's heart was also shaken.

She became increasingly certain that this celestial-like young man before her had an extraordinary background.

Next, the Tianqin Maiden steadied her mind and began to play the guqin.

Still using her signature piece, the Rainbow Dress Feather Dance.

Jun Xiaoyao's slender fingers plucked the strings.

One of the ten famous pieces, the Guangling San!

As the music flowed, auspicious signs appeared, and the flowers of the Dao bloomed.

In the void, beams of light rained down.

This was the manifestation of the Dao, making everyone present feel as if they had undergone a transcendence.

Jun Xiaoyao was enveloped in a celestial glow, his aura was incredibly sacred, brimming with immortal energy.

At that moment, everyone was entranced.

With a single piece, Jun Xiaoyao had already infused the essence of the Dao into the music, a blend of comprehension and evolution.

It had even transcended the piece itself!

Feng Qingling took a deep breath, her crimson eyes filled with shock.

She had just said that if she couldn't defeat the Tianqin Maiden, no one in the entire immortal domain could surpass her.

But now, upon hearing this piece, Feng Qingling was also lost in thought.

This guqin piece, the Tianqin Maiden's Rainbow Dress Feather Dance, was far from comparable!

The Tianqin Maiden stopped playing, her beautiful eyes dazed.

She could no longer continue.

Because what she played was merely form.

While Jun Xiaoyao played the essence!

If there were a divine aspect to guqin skills, it should resemble Jun Xiaoyao!

"I lost," the Tianqin Maiden murmured, an unfamiliar feeling rising from her heart.

As the piece concluded, Jun Xiaoyao felt refreshed.

He glanced around, and everyone was still lost in the lingering sound.

After a long while, these prodigies finally regained their senses, their pupils filled with tremors.

"Tianqin Maiden, I humbly bow to you," the Tianqin Maiden actually stood up and bowed gracefully to Jun Xiaoyao.

"Miss..." The old woman from the Xianwu Qin Sect was also quite shocked.

Their young lady had always been as cold as ice, with a noble temperament.

Not to mention bowing to other men, she rarely even looked at them.

The Third Prince's face turned green upon witnessing this scene.

The young master of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce also looked displeased.

However, he was somewhat experienced and knew that someone like Jun Xiaoyao was not to be trifled with.

One misstep could lead to catastrophic consequences.

"Since the young master has won, then these three hundred pieces of immortal source belong to you," the Tianqin Maiden generously said without hesitation, directly handing the three hundred pieces of immortal source to Jun Xiaoyao.

Seeing this, the Third Prince and others felt as if they had swallowed a fly, their faces turning purple.

It felt like they were using their own money to support a rival.

The Tianqin Maiden's eyes sparkled as she looked at Jun Xiaoyao, hesitating slightly before speaking.

"I have a humble request, hoping to spend the night exchanging guqin skills with the young master."

This mysterious young man before her had an outstanding demeanor, extraordinary talent, and could casually produce an Ancient Sacred Weapon, clearly indicating an impressive background.

Moreover, his guqin skills were so extraordinary that even she was willing to bow down.

Even though the Tianqin Maiden was an ice-cold beauty, at this moment, she couldn't help but feel herself melting.

Water flowed freely.

Upon hearing this, the Third Prince and others felt even more suffocated, their faces alternating between green and white.

A night of playing guqin?

Or a night of romantic talk?

The Third Prince felt an overwhelming sense of jealousy.

Jun Xiaoyao's lips curled into a faint smile.

Things were indeed developing as he had anticipated.

The plan might be able to proceed smoothly.

Just as Jun Xiaoyao was about to speak, a woman's voice interrupted them.

"I'm very interested in that ancient guqin of yours..."
