Chapter 4546 Spring Thunder Guqin, Twin Silkworms of Withering and Flourishing

Meng Changqing held the ancient halberd that could quell the heavens.

At this moment, beside the Ancient Halberd of Heaven.

The illusory figure of will spoke up to stop it.

At the same time, his gaze fell on the zither.

That was indeed the zither once used by the Loulan Empress.

However, it is not complete.

Even so, this zither is not something that others can touch.

If it were Jiang Yunran, it would be alright.

However, the phantom of will absolutely not allow anyone else to touch this instrument.

Because once, the Loulan Empress said...

If one day, the world is at peace, and all is well.

She might also find someone to play the zither with, and play together.

However, in the end, the Loulan Empress never met such a person.

Therefore, this instrument is of extraordinary significance, and not just anyone is qualified to touch it.

If you touch it, it's as if you've created a karmic connection with the Loulan Empress.

Back then, even as a near-god-level powerhouse, he wasn't qualified to touch the Loulan Empress's zither.

Not to mention playing the zither with her.

Therefore, at this moment, upon seeing Jun Xiaoyao, he wanted to step forward and obtain it.

In his view, this was simply a desecration of the Loulan Empress.

Why?

Jun Xiaoyao glanced indifferently at the illusory image of will.

His reaction made Jun Xiaoyao even more certain that the zither was related to the Loulan Empress.

"For no reason other than that you cannot bear the consequences of this zither's existence."

"Trying to seize it by force will only bring shame upon oneself."

The phantom of will adopted a condescending attitude and spoke in a cold tone.

"Damn it, I thought I was still alive in my previous life..."

Jiang Haomiao and the others felt furious upon seeing this.

They hate these kinds of people who take advantage of their age.

Even the other cultivators present, though they dared not say anything openly.

But their expressions differed, and they were all secretly complaining.

This near-god-level powerhouse is rather petty.

Even though Jun Xiaoyao had never paid much attention to this will, he still found it rather annoying.

They were both near-god-level powerhouses.

The hearts and minds of Xingqiong Daodi and this person are worlds apart.

Even setting aside the relationship between Xingqiong Blade Emperor and the Jun family.

Even when facing a complete stranger, Xingqiong Daodi, with his magnanimity, would not be so petty.

"Is that so? Well then, I'd like to give it a try..."

Jun Xiaoyao naturally wouldn't stop there.

Instead, he chose to grab the violin.

Just then, the zither, which had been silent all along, seemed to suddenly respond.

The strings vibrated on their own, producing a long, resounding cry like a dragon's roar echoing across a vast marshland.

Like a thunderclap in spring!

In an instant, a visible sound wave exploded out in a ring, like a raging ocean!

The music resonated, as if numerous laws were interwoven, carrying a surging energy.

Everyone present immediately felt a suffocating atmosphere!

"too horrible!"

"This oppressive aura is far too powerful. Even if this zither were placed right in front of me, I would find it difficult to approach, let alone touch!"

Everyone present stepped back.

The phantom of will, upon seeing this scene, merely let out a cold snort.

The Loulan Empress's zither is not so easily touched; this brat should be taught a lesson.

Jun Xiaoyao also felt that oppressive aura.

For others, this would be an immense pressure.

But for Jun Xiaoyao, it only caused a strange look to appear in his eyes.

This instrument is indeed quite extraordinary.

The music contained a destructive power, awe-inspiring and majestic.

It's safe to say that anyone who encounters this and tries to resist it will pay a price; it's difficult to withstand.

But Jun Xiaoyao sensed a power of prosperity from that powerful destructive force.

So-called lightning-struck wood is born from the destructive lightning tribulation of extreme strength and yang, giving rise to new life.

Therefore, Jun Xiaoyao also secretly activated some of the techniques in the Book of Life.

With the power of life, it dissolves the destructive waves in the music and resonates with its vitality.

The rest of the people present were also watching intently.

Whether Jun Xiaoyao can obtain this zither or not is irrelevant to the vast majority of them.

However, for some inexplicable reason, all the cultivators present wanted Jun Xiaoyao to obtain the zither.

So that Jun Xiaoyao can slap that old man in the face.

It could be said that his narrow-mindedness and near-divine will made many of the talented cultivators present feel that they could not bear to watch.

This is utterly disgraceful to near-god-level powerhouses.

Only the Meng family of Qingtian did not wish for Jun Xiaoyao to obtain this zither.

If Jun Xiaoyao were to obtain it, it would undoubtedly negate the advantage that Meng Changqing had in obtaining the Zhen Tian Ancient Halberd.

Jiang Yunran watched this scene without worrying about Jun Xiaoyao.

She had absolute faith in Jun Xiaoyao's abilities.

If she were to take action, she could easily subdue this zither.

But she also wanted to see what expression the phantom of Jun Xiaoyao's will would have after he subdued the zither.

Just then, someone uttered a surprised and doubtful voice.

"How could that be? Look, the sound of the zither has changed!"

"Yes, it was carrying a destructive power just now."

"But now, I am actually experiencing a sense of prosperity and flourishing from it."

All eyes turned to them.

Amidst the ripples of the zither's sound, vibrant scenes of life materialized one after another.

It was as if all things were growing, bringing a sense of prosperity.

And the music could no longer pose a threat to Jun Xiaoyao.

It was as if Jun Xiaoyao had already grasped the true essence and profound meaning of this zither.

Jun Xiaoyao came to the zither.

I saw two characters engraved on the instrument.

spring thunder.

Indeed, this zither, made of lightning-struck wood, is a vessel that contains the potential for revival amidst destruction.

It perfectly matches the name "Spring Thunder".

Lightning is the path of destruction.

But the spring thunder awakens the insects, and all things revive.

This reveals that the Loulan Empress who crafted this Spring Thunder Guqin truly possessed extraordinary talent.

The symbolism of this zither is, in a sense, a representation of the entire vast starry sky.

Despite being devastated by the great calamity.

But destruction always contains the seeds of revival.

Perhaps this zither also embodies the aspirations of the Loulan Empress.

Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

Then, his gaze fell on the white strings.

Only after getting closer did Jun Xiaoyao see the white strings of the zither clearly.

"It's silk..."

Jun Xiaoyao sensed a rich, vibrant life force on the white silk strings of the zither.

This reminded him of a legendary ancient divine insect, the twin silkworm that withers and flourishes.

These twin silkworms, which are said to be both withered and flourishing, are an extremely special ancient divine insect, existing in pairs.

One silkworm contains the power of flourishing life, while another contains the power of withering and annihilation.

That's why they're called the twin silkworms of withering and flourishing, one withering and the other flourishing.

From birth to death, the two silkworms will stay together.

They exist because the forces within them are in harmony with each other.

Even a single silkworm can hardly survive.

It is precisely because of this unique characteristic.

Therefore, the twin silkworms, which are said to be flourishing and withering, are often regarded by many male and female Daoist couples as a symbol of true love.

After all, they are born together and accompany each other throughout their lives; separation means certain death.

Of course, besides the symbolic meaning.

These twin silkworms of withering and flourishing are themselves an extremely powerful and rare ancient divine insect.

It possesses the power to flourish and wither.

Once upon a time, in the vast starry sky, there was a pair of twin silkworms, one withered and one flourishing, who cultivated themselves to the Dao and transformed into human form.

They were known to the world as the immortal couple who lived and died together.

Their individual strength might not be too amazing.

However, if the man and woman join forces, prosperity and decline will alternate, life and death will cycle, and yin and yang will coexist.

That kind of power allows one to easily fight opponents of higher levels and suppress enemies of a higher realm.

"It seems that this Spring Thunder Guqin was made from the silk of the Rong silkworm, one of the twin silkworms of withered and flourishing."

The silk spun by the twin silkworms, which are both flourishing and decaying, carries the power of both prosperity and decline.

No wonder Jun Xiaoyao sensed a vibrant and thriving energy from the music.

However, that's how it is.

Is there another zither, forged from the silk of a withered silkworm?

But is it only when the two instruments are combined that they are truly complete? (End of Chapter)
