Chapter 607 - Music Pagoda (1/2)

”Maybe in the future when I have someone who is capable of replacing me as Sect Master, I will challenge the Stairway to Heaven again.”

”Anyways, for the Stairway to Heaven, when I challenged it, I had to do 4 trials.”

”For the first trial, I had to fight a stampede of magical beasts that was two levels above my cultivation.”

”For the second trial, I had to traverse a thousand miles while being burdened by a powerful pressure and magical beasts.”

”For the third trial, I had to confront my heart demon.”

”And for the final trial, I had to fight another magical beast, but this time, it was five whole levels above my cultivation.”

”Although the trials are random for everyone, many people have received the same trial before, so there's a good chance that you'll experience some of the same trials I went through.”

”I see… This information will definitely be helpful to me. Thank you, Senior Song. If there's anything I can do in return, don't hesitate to ask.” Yuan said to her.

”I do have one request for you. Can you do a performance before the disciples for me? I want to broaden their views. Most of them think I am the number one zither expert under heaven, but that is far from the truth, as there are plenty more skillful zither experts in the upper heavens.”

”Okay. I don't mind if it's just a performance. When do you want me to do it?”

”I will need some time to prepare for it. Can you give me four— No, three days? You can even stay here as an esteemed guest if you'd like.”

”Sure.” Yuan nodded.

After all, he doesn't know where Xiao Hua and the others were or when they'll return, and there was no way that he'd leave them behind to challenge the Stairway to Heaven. Furthermore, he still has to return to the Dragon Essence Temple to pick Min Li up as he'd promised.

Sometime later, Senior Song led Yuan to his living quarters where he'll be spending the next three days.

”My house is this one, so if you need anything, just knock on my door. Though I usually spend most of my time at the Sect Master's headquarters, so you can find me there if I am not home.”

”You are also free to wander the sect, but there are some restricted areas that can only be accessed by certain individuals.”

”Do you have a place where I can learn new songs?” Yuan then asked.

”Of course. Just go to the Music Pagoda. You'll find thousands of songs there.”

”Thank you.”

”Also, take this with you. This is proof that you're a guest at our sect. If you're caught without it, you might be misunderstood like what happened earlier, so make sure you have it with you at all times when you leave your living quarters.” Song Ling'er handed him a medallion before returning to the Sect Master's headquarters.

Once she left, Yuan looked around his living quarters before making his way to the Melody Pavilion that Song Ling'er had mentioned.

”Excuse me, do you know the way to Music Pagoda?” Yuan asked the first disciple he encountered.

And since he was living beside Song Ling'er's living quarters, it was only natural that he was located in the center of the sect with the elites.
