Chapter 68: Sound Saint Inheritance

……

Tianyin Laoren walked over to Xiao Han with light steps, poured himself a cup of tea, and began to sip it leisurely.

"Ooh..."

Refreshing!

In all these years, today was the most comfortable day for him.

"Yo, the old man is in a pretty good mood!"

Sensing the irrepressible joy radiating from Tianyin Laoren, Xiao Han felt amused.

"Hahahaha~"

Hearing Xiao Han's words, Tianyin Laoren could not help but laugh out loud several times.

"Let me tell you, you didn't see how comical that traitor's expression was at the time!"

Thinking back to the complex expression on Yin Xian's face—a mixture of shock, panic, regret, and disbelief—Tianyin Laoren immediately felt he could eat three more bowls of rice for dinner.

"At the time, that traitor still didn't believe it, and kept saying things like 'The Heavenly Venerable will avenge me' in his mouth; it was hilarious."

"Then congratulations to you."

Xiao Han did not say any nonsense, just offered his congratulations; to pour cold water on someone while they were happy was just asking for a beating, wasn't it?

Although, it was true that the people of Sound Valley could not beat him.

"Sigh, this time it really is thanks to you!"

Tianyin Laoren waved his hand; he was not speaking empty words.

When he informed the two Supreme Elders of the news of his breakthrough to Dou Saint, the expressions of those two seniors were something he would never forget.

And in Tianyin Laoren's view, his greatest gain this time was not repelling the three Dou Saints of the Soul Hall, nor resolving the calamity of Sound Valley, nor even his own advancement to Dou Saint.

It was binding himself to the chariot of Langya Pavilion, or rather, to Xiao Han.

Although it was spineless to say so, Tianyin Laoren believed that with the help of Langya Pavilion, the prosperity of Sound Valley would be just around the corner.

However, since it was a mutual cooperation, Tianyin Laoren naturally had to show the sincerity of the Sound Valley side.

Mutual benefit was the way to longevity.

"Do you know the reason why the Soul Hall has been plotting against Sound Valley this time, or rather, since a hundred years ago?"

At this moment, Tianyin Laoren began the main topic of this meeting.

"Oh?"

Xiao Han sat up straight; it seemed that a sect with such a long history as Sound Valley indeed possessed some good things.

"I would like to hear the details!"

Xiao Han did not put on airs; he was indeed very interested, and since Tianyin Laoren dared to do this, it had naturally been approved by their high-level leadership.

"Sound Saint Inheritance!" Tianyin Laoren said these four words with a solemn expression.

Subsequently, Tianyin Laoren began to tell Xiao Han about the origin of Sound Valley and the so-called Sound Saint Inheritance.

The founding time of Sound Valley was much longer than many forces; although it did not compare to those Ancient Races that had been passed down for who knows how many years, it still had a history of five or six thousand years.

The first Valley Master of Sound Valley was naturally the Sound Saint himself.

The Sound Saint was the first powerhouse in ten thousand years to step into the ranks of Saints by relying on the Dao of musical rhythm.

Before the Sound Saint, musical rhythm was considered a minor path!

Due to the lack of corresponding sect inheritance, the progress of a Sound Cultivator's strength was very slow, and their combat power was not strong, only able to serve as a small support in a team.

At that time, the greatest value of a so-called Sound Cultivator was perhaps performing on stage; therefore, in a world where the strong were respected like this continent, they naturally had no status to speak of.

However, just when everyone was looking down on Sound Cultivators, the Sound Saint emerged.

It must be said that this world is composed of ordinary people, but the progress of history is driven by top-tier geniuses.

Without a doubt, the Sound Saint was such a person.

The specific life of the Sound Saint could no longer be verified; people only remembered the process of his rise like a comet in the Central Plains through the Dao of musical rhythm.

It was also the Sound Saint who showed the world the power of Sound Cultivators; at this point, Tianyin Laoren could not help but sigh: "Perhaps the first true Sound Cultivator in the world was the Sound Saint."

As the founding ancestor of the current Dao of musical rhythm, the Sound Saint was a legendary and versatile existence. He was a top-tier powerhouse who could truly interpret the versatility of a Sound Cultivator.

He could easily win against those of higher levels, and could also influence the outcome of a large-scale war with his simple zither music.

He could allow a person at the end of their rope to instantly recover to their peak state, and could also control the overall situation with ease.

At the same time, in order to carry forward the Dao of musical rhythm, the Sound Saint established Sound Valley and left behind his inheritance at the end of his life.

It was a pity that Sound Valley never again produced an existence with such outstanding talent as the Sound Saint; the only Dou Saint after the Sound Saint was the Sound Saint's personal Disciple, Yin Wuxiu, the second Valley Master of Sound Valley, whose strength was a Three-Star Dou Saint.

And Tianyin Laoren was the third Dou Saint powerhouse in the history of Sound Valley, which could be said to be a life without regrets.

Even so, relying on the legacy of a High-level Dou Saint, every Valley Master of Sound Valley was a Half-Saint level powerhouse.

The strength of Sound Valley was beyond doubt; for thousands of years, although it had never achieved the prestige of the "Peak Five Saints" during the era of the Fanyan Laozu of Burning Flame Valley, it had never declined either.

And the greatest regret of the people of Sound Valley was perhaps the Sound Saint Inheritance. For so many years, not a single Sound Valley Disciple had been able to obtain the ancestor's inheritance; this was simply a heart-wrenching pain.

"So, what do you mean...?" Xiao Han asked with some hesitation.

"Are you interested in the Sound Saint Inheritance?" Tianyin Laoren asked with a sly smile.

"What do you think?" Xiao Han glanced at Tianyin Laoren with disdain; how could he not be tempted by the inheritance of a High-level Dou Saint?

Even if he couldn't use it, others could always use it!

It was just that the Sound Saint Inheritance was clearly for Sound Cultivators, and their Langya Pavilion was not specialized in this!

"But aren't you playing with me? Something your own people in Sound Valley can't get, how could an outsider like me have a chance?"

Xiao Han expressed that he did not understand Tianyin Laoren's sinister intentions.

"Besides, this is the inheritance of your ancestors; are you just selling it off like this? Aren't you afraid that Sound Valley will really split up?"

"That won't require your concern; since I dare to do this, I am naturally not worried."

Tianyin Laoren laughed heartily, not caring in the slightest.

"What, is there some secret hidden within this?"

Tianyin Laoren's confident appearance made Xiao Han's interest rise once again.

"Some inside information about Sound Valley is known only to the Valley Master," Tianyin Laoren smiled smugly, "How much could that traitor Yin Xian and those outsiders from the Soul Hall possibly know?"

With a scoff, Tianyin Laoren continued: "However, it does no harm to tell you; the Sound Saint Inheritance is divided into three parts."

The cultivation inheritance, though not much, can only allow a Dou Zun Peak to advance to Half-Saint without side effects.

This might be the part you outsiders are most interested in, but to us in Sound Valley, it is the most useless.

As for the Musical Techniques, you might find some use for them, but it is obvious that only we Sound Cultivators can bring out their true effect."

To this, Xiao Han did not refute; Sound Valley is the holy land for Sound Cultivators in the Central Plains, just as the Pill Tower is in the hearts of Alchemists.

Other factions have almost no Sound Cultivators, so these Musical Techniques are naturally of no use.

"As for the last one..." Tianyin Laoren drew out the sound, "it is the insights of Lord Sound Saint regarding the path of music; this is the most precious inheritance of our Sound Valley."

After Tianyin Laoren finished speaking, Xiao Han suddenly realized, but immediately felt a tiny bit of sympathy for that bunch of unlucky kids from the Soul Hall.

Having busied themselves for so long, if they finally discovered that it was all just these things, would Hun Miesheng cry himself to sleep in the bathroom?
