Chapter 979: Chapter 979: Spring Returns to the Earth, Heaven on Earth!
Wu Yin and Bai Liu, who had come out with a group of experts from the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion, heard Xiaotian’s play and couldn’t help but chuckle to themselves. In their view, Xiaotian was just making excuses to stall for time.
But, even if Xiaotian wanted to use excuses to drag out time, it was pointless.
Under the watchful eyes of the Kaitian Dominator and everyone from Wei Sheng, Xiaotian took out an ancient-looking zither.
When he took out this zither, a Dragon Power enveloped everything between Heaven and Earth.
Others might not have thought much upon seeing this zither, but to the Kaitian Dominator, Wei Sheng, and Young Master Jiusheng, the very sight of the zither sent shivers down their spines.
"This... this is!" The Kaitian Dominator, pointing at Xiaotian’s Heavenly Dragon Zither, became so excited that he was at a loss for words, wishing to say something to Wei Sheng and everyone around him.
"The Heavenly Dragon Holy Zither!" Wei Sheng too shouted excitedly.
The Heavenly Dragon Holy Zither!
Young Master Jiusheng and the crowd of experts from Kaitian Academy were all excited beyond measure.
The Heavenly Dragon Holy Zither was the zither of Liang Li, the Ancestor of Kaitian Academy, and held even greater significance than the Heavenly Dragon Zither Score.
An elder ancestor from Kaitian Academy cried out, "It is our Ancestor’s Heavenly Dragon Holy Zither, Xiaotian has not only stolen our Ancestor’s Hanhai Boat and the Heavenly Dragon Zither Score, but he has also stolen our Ancestor’s Heavenly Dragon Holy Zither!"
Having said that, the ancestor couldn’t help but reach out to snatch the Heavenly Dragon Holy Zither from Xiaotian’s hands.
"Xiaotian, return the Heavenly Dragon Holy Zither to us immediately!"
Nobody expected the elder ancestor from Kaitian Academy to suddenly make a move, but just as he was about to grab the Heavenly Dragon Holy Zither, suddenly, the Kaitian Dominator’s eyes turned red, and he slapped the elder: "Get the fuck out of here!"
The Kaitian Academy elder was sent flying by a slap from the Kaitian Dominator.
Flipping through the air countless times, he crashed onto a distant mountain peak, his face swollen from the slap, nearly bursting.
Everyone was dumbstruck.
Wasn’t the Heavenly Dragon Holy Zither a belonging of Kaitian Academy?
Why did the Kaitian Dominator slap the elder ancestor away when he tried to take it back?
Even the other elder ancestors from Kaitian Academy were shocked to their core.
Xiaotian, however, showed no surprise at the Kaitian Dominator’s actions, but instead caressed the Heavenly Dragon Holy Zither in his hands just as one would gently stroke a beloved woman; as he touched it, the Dragon Body on the zither began to radiate a faint light, and a subtle sound of Dragon Roar emerged. The Heavenly Dragon Holy Zither seemed to come to life. 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Witnessing this, the Kaitian Dominator grew even more agitated, remembering his master’s parting words: "Mo, it’s difficult for others to activate this Heavenly Dragon Holy Zither, but if someone can activate it one day, and play ’Spring Returns to Earth, Heaven and Humans together’, he will be the new master of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Zither."
The new master of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Zither!
His master’s instructions were clear in his memory.
Xiaotian sat cross-legged in midair, then set the Heavenly Dragon Holy Zither in front of him and began to play.
Soon, one note after another flowed unceasingly from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Zither.
As the notes flowed out, the onlookers saw the flowers, grasses, and trees on the surrounding peaks begin to grow at a visible rate, and some bare peaks even sprouted greenery.
Following that, the rivers flowing around seemingly flew up from the ground; not only the rivers, but also surrounding rocks, trees, and grasses started ascending into the air.
Upon reaching midair, the rivers, rocks, trees, and grasses coalesced, morphing into vivid and mesmerizing paintings of earthly landscapes.
And these paintings were so lifelike, so enchanting.
The Kaitian Dominator, looking at this spectacle unfolding before his eyes, could hardly contain his excitement, his eyes reddened as he said, "Master, I have finally witnessed it."
"Spring Returns to the Earth!"
"Heaven and Earth United!"
Spring returns to the Earth, Heaven and Earth united!
Everyone was immersed in Yang Xiaotian’s zither music, in the miraculous scenes created by the notes he played.
Yang Xiaotian’s zither music could actually make all things in heaven and earth grow; it was simply a state beyond imagination.
Even after Yang Xiaotian stopped playing, the people remained engulfed in the world of his music—the high mountains, rocks, rivers, and flowers remained vivid in their minds for a long time.
After a long while, the crowd came to their senses. Many had thought that what they had experienced was an illusion, but seeing the flowers and plants around them having grown so much, they were all stunned.
"Spring returns to the Earth, Heaven and Earth united!" The Kaitian Dominator took a deep breath, came before Yang Xiaotian, and said excitedly with clasped fists, "Disciple Zhu Mo has seen the Heavenly Dragon Saint Master!"
The Heavenly Dragon Saint Master!
Wei Sheng and the people of Kaitian Academy trembled inside.
The ancestral teachings of Kaitian Academy stated, "To see the Heavenly Dragon Saint Master is to see the Ancestor!"
Wei Sheng came before Yang Xiaotian, his hands shaking violently, his teeth chattering: "Disciple Wei Sheng has seen the Heavenly Dragon Saint Master!"
Young Master Jiusheng and all the elders and Ancient Ancestors of Kaitian Academy came before Yang Xiaotian, then paid their respects. Even the elder who had been sent flying stood before Yang Xiaotian, his swollen face trembling fiercely.
Wu Yin and Bai Liu, seeing the Kaitian Dominator and the group of Kaitian Academy’s experts standing before Yang Xiaotian, were also shocked. The Heavenly Dragon Saint Master? Yang Xiaotian?
Yang Xiaotian, who had stolen the Hanhai Boat and the Heavenly Dragon Zither Score, had become the Heavenly Dragon Saint Master!
Lin Xian, Deng Miao, and others hiding in the shadows had extremely ugly expressions on their faces; the battle between the Kaitian Dominator and the Heaven and Earth Dominator that should have happened did not take place!
Yang Xiaotian had actually become the Heavenly Dragon Saint Master!
This!
Yang Xiaotian put away the Heavenly Dragon Holy Zither and stepped forward to help up the Kaitian Dominator: "Elder brother, no need for such courtesy."
Elder brother!
Hearing Yang Xiaotian call him that, the Kaitian Dominator trembled in his excitement, his beard quivering: "Little brother, I almost made a mistake earlier." He had almost slapped Yang Xiaotian when he first saw him coming out.
Thinking that if he had slapped Yang Xiaotian, where would he be now!
Thinking of this, the Kaitian Dominator felt extremely relieved.
"It’s okay," Yang Xiaotian said with a smile to the Kaitian Dominator. "I did steal the master’s Hanhai Boat and the Heavenly Dragon Zither Score, so it’s right for the elder brother and everyone else to be angry."
The Kaitian Dominator knew Yang Xiaotian was speaking sarcastically and couldn’t help turning red with embarrassment, laughing, "It was I who was rash!"
Meanwhile, Wei Sheng and all the elders of Kaitian Academy bowed their heads, not daring to look at Yang Xiaotian, like children who had done something wrong. The elder who had attempted to snatch Yang Xiaotian’s Heavenly Dragon Holy Zither even knelt down, a crying expression on his face: "Disciple apologizes for acting against the Heavenly Dragon Saint Master, I ask for the Saint Master and the Lord Dominator to punish me!"
Yang Xiaotian told him to get up: "We’ll talk about this matter later."
But the elder looked fearfully toward the Kaitian Dominator, who glared: "My little brother told you to get up, what are you looking at me for?"
The elder was so scared that he quickly scurried away.
The Heaven and Earth Dominator laughed heartily and said to the Kaitian Dominator with a smile, "Xiaomozhi, it seems we flooded the Dragon King temple, figuring we were strangers! From now on, the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion and Kaitian Academy are family!"
