Chapter 400

【Alluring and gorgeous, with a fiery temper — that is the best annotation for Fanyin Tian】

【She bears the Phantom Sound Art, wields a pipa as her weapon, and her cultivation is Innate】

【Among the Nine Heavens Sacred Maidens, she is the weakest in strength, yet also the most ambitious】

【If she could abandon her ambition and mend her temper, she could surely advance further】

【Miaocheng Sacred Maiden — Miaocheng Tian】

【Clever and quick-witted, with a bewitching bearing】

【She bears the Phantom Sound Art, wields an oil-paper umbrella as her weapon, and her cultivation is Innate】

【Among the Nine Heavens Sacred Maidens, Miaocheng Tian has the keenest mind, and is also the softest-hearted】

【Alas, she was born with an Absolute Meridian, her illness already past the point of cure】

【If she could gain Ximen Wudi's favor, her born Absolute Meridian might transform into a born Divine Meridian】

【Xuanjing Sacred Maiden — Xuanjing Tian】

【Clever and lovable, understanding and considerate】

【She bears the Phantom Sound Art, wields a bow and arrows as her weapon, and her cultivation is Innate】

【She cultivates the Way of the Bow and Arrow through the application of musical technique】

【Xuanjing Tian is not the first, but she is the most devoted】

【If she could further obtain a bow-and-arrow Wu Gong to pair with the Phantom Sound Art, a promising future awaits】

【Duowen Sacred Maiden — Duowen Tian】

【Outstanding looks, a master at reading people's hearts】

【She bears the Phantom Sound Art, wields a fan as her weapon, and her cultivation is Grandmaster】

【She began with the Phantom Sound Art, then supplemented it with illusion arts】

【When it comes to reading people's hearts, Duowen Tian ranks first among the Nine Heavens Sacred Maidens】

【When it comes to beguiling people's hearts, Duowen Tian also ranks first】

【Guangmu Sacred Maiden — Guangmu Tian】

【No ordinary looks, an exceptional figure】

【She bears the Phantom Sound Art, wields a guqin as her weapon, and her cultivation is Grandmaster】

【The guqin is the weapon that best complements the Phantom Sound Art】

【Guangmu Tian's talent is exceptional, but limited by the Phantom Sound Art, her achievements are bounded】

【Yangyan Sacred Maiden — Yangyan Tian】

【Noble and coldly beautiful, a thousand charms in one】

【She bears the Phantom Sound Art, wields twin hammers as her weapon, and her cultivation is Great Grandmaster】

【Her extraordinary looks make it all too easy for people to overlook her martial prowess】

【Twin hammers also seem utterly incompatible with the Phantom Sound Art】

【If she could obtain a body-tempering cultivation method, her achievements would know no bounds】

【Suolo Sacred Maiden — Suolo Tian】

【Born with beauty, ice flesh and jade bones】

【She bears the Phantom Sound Art, wields a huqin as her weapon, and her cultivation is Great Grandmaster】

【Among the Nine Heavens Sacred Maidens, she has the highest comprehension】

【It is only a pity that she has no heart for martial arts, being wholly devoted to music】

【Though the Phantom Sound Art is a music-based Wu Gong, in the end it is not suited to her】

【If she could meet Ximen Wudi, she might obtain a better inheritance】

【Yanmo Sacred Maiden — Yanmo Tian】

【Fiery and charming, with a proud figure】

【She bears the Phantom Sound Art, wields no weapon, and her cultivation is Great Grandmaster】

【Among the Nine Heavens Sacred Maidens, she is the strongest】

【The fusion of flame and music makes her utterly unique】

【If she could obtain a decent fire-attribute Wu Gong, breaking through to the Land Myth realm would be no dream】

【Zizai Sacred Maiden — Zizai Tian】

【Cold and aloof, mysterious】

【She bears the Phantom Sound Art, and her cultivation is Great Grandmaster】

【If she could obtain the "Dao Heart Plants Demon Great Law" and combine it with the Phantom Sound Art, she could become the Tathata-Zizai Heaven】

【Heavenly Dao's appraisal: orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, each excels in its own field】

【Heavenly Dao Reward: Youth-Preservation Pill (consuming it eternally preserves a youthful countenance)】

【Heavenly Dao Reward: Dust-Repelling Pearl (possesses the effect of isolating all dust and filth)】.

239 — A living Bodhi Clear-Heart Pill?!

As the contents of the Heavenly Dao's Hundred Flowers Ranking were revealed one by one.

In the void, one after another, lovely and charming, otherworldly figures kept emerging.

The first was one clad entirely in plain yellow gauze, with a transcendent countenance and gentle bearing.

Like a fairy descending from the deep, secluded valley of a dream to the mortal world, she hovered above the vaulted firmament.

Across the lands of the Nine Provinces, neither man nor woman could shift their gaze even slightly from this world-toppling beauty.

Most bewitching of all, besides her slender, well-proportioned figure and her bearing and expression of a thousand graceful airs.

What made her even more captivating was her pair of soul-stealing, water-clear eyes.

Her tender, affectionate gaze paired with a shy, faint smile at the corner of her lips — indeed, few men in the world could resist.

Behind her, seven beauties of differing styles and weapons gradually stepped out as well.

Some coquettish, some bold, some reserved, some gentle…

In each of their hands, some played musical instruments, some sang at the top of their lungs, some spread their sleeves and danced…

The entire vault of the firmament above seemed to host a most extraordinary performance.

It left everyone, man or woman, utterly intoxicated.

When the contents of the Heavenly Dao Golden List slowly faded, the figures of the ten beauties of differing styles dispersed.

Countless people felt as if waking from a dream, though many more still lingered in their longing.

"Miaocheng Tian is so gentle and adorable, she inspires pity even in me — if I could marry her, that would truly be the blessing of a lifetime…"

"Give it a rest! Miaocheng Tian is a sickly weakling — how could she compare to my Fanyin Tian?"

"Fiery and uninhibited, not bound by trifles — a girl like that really has spark."

"You lot! Wake up — do you really think you want to marry them?"

"I don't even want to expose you, but you're just lusting after their bodies, that's all."

"Hah, as if you're not lusting after them too?"

"I really don't lust — mere feminine beauty. In this world there are Wan Wan beauties, and in the end their looks will fade."

"Oh-ho, you've risen above base tastes now?"

"But don't forget, the Heavenly Dao bestowed the Eternal Youth Pill — looks that last forever."

"Then I'm interested. Only children make choices — I want them all…"

"You? You can have them all?"

"Setting aside everything else, the Nine Heavens Sacred Concubines are the Dharma Protectors of the Great Tang Phantom Sound Hall."

"Their status is second only to the Empress herself!"

"Their cultivation has also reached the Grandmaster Realm at the highest — and you still want them all?"

"How about taking in Shang Xiufang as well?"

"Why not?"

"Tell you you're fat, and you really start huffing and puffing."

"Shang Xiufang is not only ranked on the Hundred Flowers List, she's a true talented beauty."

"But haven't you noticed what's different about her?"

"What is it?"
