chapter 5074 dragon cow zither possession
long chen followed the source of the sound to a stage set between the statues of lord brahma and fallen daynight. this stage, originally empty, now featured a woman in an imperial dress walking onto it, accompanied by the beautiful sound of a zither.
“liao yuhuang!”
long chen hadn’t expected to encounter another acquaintance here. it was the zither sect’s liao yuhuang. she appeared to have matured significantly since their last meeting.
the zither sect’s cultivation focused on cultivating the heart, which required experiencing the world. they sought the intersection of the music dao and the heavenly daos, using music as a medium to peer into the heavens.
just from liao yuhuang’s air alone, it was obvious that her realm had advanced considerably since the last time they met. her rate of growth was astonishing.
the zither music resounded throughout the plaza, incredibly beautiful and instantly drawing everyone’s attention. people started to walk closer to the stage, and long chen was no exception. he immediately dragged bai yingxue to the best spot to enjoy the music.
liao yuhuang’s fingers gently danced across her zither, and her music permeated people’s hearts, making them feel as if they were soaking in a pure mountain river, cleansed of all impurities.
long chen loved zither music because it made him think of a certain person. she was a noble woman who wore violet robes. for him, she abandoned her original beliefs and stained her pure body with blood, facing life and death together with him.
the noble woman was zi yan. after arriving in the immortal world, zi yan had even saved long chen once, though it was only for a fleeting moment. back then, he couldn’t see her clearly, yet he could feel that her familiar aura was tainted by devil qi.
zi yan, where are you? how am i supposed to rest easy if i can’t find you?
long chen’s eyes grew misty as he watched liao yuhuang’s fingers glide over the zither. he was lost in memories. despite the short time he had spent with zi yan, the bond between them had never waned.
the graceful way zi yan’s fingers glided over her zither had long since been branded into his soul. it was an image that wouldn’t fade no matter how much time passed; it would only grow clearer.
“you are too courteous. if you weren’t a master of the music dao, how could such a woman become your lover? i’ve heard tales of a dragon race with great talent in the music dao, but i’ve never had the fortune to meet them. i don’t even know which dragon race it is,” said liao yuhuang, a hint of sadness in her voice.
with a smile, long chen remarked, “with your remarkable talent in music and your transcendent realm, how could your fortune be lacking? in truth, that race has always been by your side.”
“by my side? what are you talking about?” liao yuhuang was startled.
“this zither is something you obtained recently, isn’t it?” long chen asked.
hearing this, liao yuhuang was even more baffled. “yes.”
“look at the head. is there an image of a horn on it?” inquired long chen.
liao yuhuang’s shock deepened. she naturally knew that there was a cow horn image on it. it was a treasure she had recently obtained, and that horn would only manifest when her heart merged with the zither. furthermore, only she was capable of seeing it.
she stared at long chen in disbelief, while bai yingxue was equally astonished, not expecting long chen to know about these things.
long chen explained, “because you have not yet received its full recognition, its two horns refuse to manifest, preventing you from seeing its head or body. this is the dragon race’s dragon cow, a uniquely classified creature that is not quite a dragon. the front half resembles a cow, while the back half is dragon-like. they possess dragon blood power but lack a desire to kill. they are peaceful, gentle beings who love music and listen to the melodies of all things. after they die, their soul essence does not dissipate; instead, it resides within a spirit zither. it’s clear you’ve obtained an absolute treasure. this will enhance your understanding of the music dao, but there’s one crucial thing you must remember.”
liao yuhuang said, “this junior is listening attentively.”
long chen solemnly continued, “you cannot use this zither for any acts of killing, or it will abandon you immediately. furthermore, you will be shunned by the dragon cow for the rest of your life, and you will never encounter another dragon cow zither again.”
“what a bunch of rubbish,” a cold sneer interrupted.
