Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 102 Sound Valley

Xiao Li transformed into the Holy Son of the Sound Valley. The Sound Valley was different from the Flower Sect. Although there were many female disciples, there were also male disciples. However, female disciples accounted for more than 60%, after all, women were quite talented in music, perhaps because women were more meticulous.

Su Wanyin gave Xiao Li a brief introduction to Yin Valley.

Yin Valley, one of the Three Valleys, is a powerful force on par with Burning Flame Valley and Ice River Valley, but in reality, Yin Valley has a very strong foundation.

The Sound Valley has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. The powerful figure who founded the Sound Valley was called the Sound Saint. This Sound Saint also had other names, such as the Heavenly Sound Saint, the Heavenly Sound Demon Saint, the Demon Sound Saint, the Six-Finger Demon Saint, and so on.

This sonic master was born with six fingers and was most skilled in sonic attacks. He often killed people invisibly with his music, and in that era, people were terrified of his voice.

The headquarters of Sound Valley is located in the southwest region of the Central Region, very close to Burning Flame Valley. However, Sound Valley does not like to fight for territory, so the area of ​​Sound Valley is not very large.

Tianyin Mountains

Xiao Li followed Su Wanyin to the Tianyin Mountain Range, where the headquarters of the Yin Valley was located. How to describe the environment here? It was like a fairyland, with green mountains and clear waters.

Su Wanyin led Xiao Li to the depths of the Tianyin Mountains, and then with a flick of her wrist, a white spatial portal suddenly opened.

"A portal to space?"

Xiao Li said in surprise, and then followed Su Wanyin into the spatial gate.

When I opened my eyes again, a valley shrouded in mist suddenly appeared before me. The thousand acres of peach orchards were in full bloom, and the pink and white petals fell like snow, yet not a single one was covered in mud—each flower turned into a wisp of light pink smoke as it fell to the ground, rising into the air and condensing into a floating peach blossom cloud.

"These are peach trees? So many peach trees!" Xiao Li was dumbfounded; the scene before him was like a paradise.

"Welcome to the world of music," Su Wanyin said with a smile.

"The Sound Realm! Could it be a small world created by a Dou Sheng powerhouse? Like the Pill Realm of the Pill Tower?" Xiao Li exclaimed in surprise.

"Almost, but the area is much smaller in the Sound Realm than in the Pill Realm. Follow me." Su Wanyin led Xiao Li toward the mountain range next to the peach grove.

The mountain is dotted with many buildings, all in a classical style, exuding a charmingly antique atmosphere.

"Greetings, Valley Master!"

"Greetings, Valley Master!"

Along the way, Xiao Li saw many people dressed in light purple clothing, each wearing a badge with a musical note on their chest.

These are all disciples of Yin Gu. There is no distinction between outer and inner disciples in Yin Gu. Those who can join Yin Gu are all core disciples of Yin Gu.

Exceptionally outstanding disciples are given titles such as Holy Son or Holy Daughter, but none of the disciples in this generation of Yin Valley have received such titles yet.

In the Sound Valley, disciples below the Douhuang level prioritize cultivation. Upon reaching the Douhuang level, they can assume the position of steward, thereby performing sect missions in exchange for resources. Upon reaching the Douzong level, they can be promoted to elders within the valley.

Xiao Li carefully observed the disciples of Yin Gu. He discovered that each disciple possessed a unique charm. Yin Gu specializes in music, so perhaps these disciples all had some characteristics of musicians.

Xiao Li then stepped onto the steps of Tianyin Mountain. The steps were very steep and seemed to stretch endlessly into the distance.

"This is the Heavenly Sound Steps. If you have a talent for music, you can hear it," Su Wanyin said with a smile.

"Music? It does seem a bit like that." What Xiao Li heard was not music using instruments, but the music of nature: the sound of the wind, the rustling of leaves, the sound of footsteps, and every beat was perfectly harmonious.

"Huh? He actually has such talent? We've struck gold!" Su Wanyin originally thought that recruiting an eighth-grade alchemist was already a huge profit, but she didn't expect Xiao Li to have a sense of rhythm!

The number of disciples in Yin Valley is small, fewer than in the other two valleys. This is why Yin Valley has a small territory and doesn't like to fight for territory. Because there are not many disciples, Yin Valley can be completely self-sufficient, and even have more than enough.

For example, the Burning Flame Valley and the Ice River Valley have many disciples. Every year, the normal training of disciples is a huge expense. Only by expanding their territory and taking over more land can they keep up with the consumption of the sect!

However, Yin Gu doesn't have this problem. Yin Gu has been recruiting disciples, but the recruitment conditions are extremely strict, and not just anyone can enter.

The techniques and combat skills of the Sound Valley are all related to music and the soul. To cultivate the Sound Valley's inherited techniques, one must have a certain sense of music and, secondly, have a strong enough soul power.

These two points are hard requirements that can eliminate a lot of people.

If one is lucky enough to pass these two conditions, before entering the Valley of Sound, one must personally play a piece of music for the Valley Master, a piece of music that follows one's own heart.

Music doesn't lie. No matter what kind of person you are, the music you play will not escape the discerning eyes of the masters of the Music Valley throughout the ages. Therefore, since its establishment, Music Valley has basically never produced any traitors.

Furthermore, due to their long-term practice of music, the disciples here are very Buddhist and dislike fighting. However, if you disturb their music, they might beat you into a musical instrument.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Li had reached the top of the steps, and the music he heard ended.

"So fast?" Xiao Li said, still somewhat unsatisfied.

"You gave me a huge surprise, you know?" Su Wanyin said excitedly.

"Huh? Why?"

"The fact that you can hear the music on the Heavenly Sound Steps means that you have a natural musical sense and are capable of cultivating the core techniques of this valley. In other words, you are now truly worthy of the title of Holy Son."

Su Wanyin looked Xiao Li up and down as if he were some rare treasure.

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Xiao Li asked doubtfully.

"Hmph, come with me, someone wants to see you." Su Wanyin led Xiao Li toward the main hall.

Main hall,

Xiao Li looked at the antique building. Its style was very different from the buildings in Zhongzhou. As expected of a musician, his architecture was also different from others.

"what?"

Xiao Li noticed a man in purple robes standing in front of the main hall. The man looked to be in his thirties or forties, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and was exceptionally handsome, although his face was somewhat pale. Moreover, Xiao Li noticed that this man bore a resemblance to Su Wanyin.

"Little sister's back? This is the eighth-grade alchemist you brought back? Not bad, not bad, so young and already at the Spirit Realm, hahaha!"

The man spoke, his voice cheerful and with a distinctive rhythm.

"Li'er, let me introduce you. This is one of the Supreme Elders of our Yin Valley. He is known outside as Tianyinzi. His cultivation level is Eighth Rank Dou Zun. He is also my elder brother, Su Jinyi."

Su Wanyin introduced him to Xiao Li.

"Greetings, Supreme Elder," Xiao Li said, cupping his fists to Tian Yinzi.

"Hmm, very good, very good. It's such a good thing that a young eighth-grade alchemist like you has such a connection with my Yin Valley. If I let you get away, I won't be able to sleep at night. Hahahaha."

Tianyinzi laughed loudly, then opened the main hall door: "Yin'er, let's go. Father has been waiting for a long time."

"Let's go."

The three then entered the main hall, where an old man sat in the main seat.

The old man was dressed in a snow-white robe, his beard and hair were both white, and his long white hair was neatly combed down his back. He had a simple and honest appearance, and his deep eyes exuded a wisdom that could not be concealed even with his advanced age. A faint smile played on his face. That calm and serene aura gave people a very comfortable feeling.

The old man looked like an ordinary person without any cultivation, but he gave Xiao Li an unparalleled pressure. This pressure seemed to directly affect his soul. If Xiao Li's soul power had not been strong, he probably would have collapsed.

"This old man seems even more terrifying than the dean; could he be a demigod?"
