Chapter 622: Chapter 621 Learn to Adapt to Circumstances

“…the Divine Skill ‘what is said follows’ is a fusion of ‘the word guides the law’ from the Great Confucian Word Post and the principles of musical rhythms that I have come to understand.”

“So to learn what is said follows, you must first learn these two principles.”

When speaking to this point, Ji Zhi felt that Yu Yin looked at him differently than Bai Hongtu.

This was clearly questioning my capacity to learn.

The mere ‘what is said follows’, the simple principles of musical rhythms, what’s so difficult about those?

After all, I am a person who received the inheritance of a music immortal.

“Go on speaking, if I can’t learn, that’s my problem,” Jiang Li waved his arm in a carefree manner, full of confidence.

Quickly thereafter, as he listened to Yu Yin’s explanation, Bai Hongtu plucked the strings of a lute and played a smooth melody, inducing comfort in body and soul.

This was the epitome of the principles of the music realm’s entrance!

…

“Hey, hey, hey, what are you two doing? I, the sect master of Dao sect, have transcended one immortal trial of transmigration, and arranged realms for nine spiritual plants.”

Bai Hongtu stepped back and leaned against a tree. Upon seeing this, Jiang Li and Yu Yin approached and tied Bai Hongtu to the tree.

“Stop!”

Yu Yin used ‘what is said follows’ to bind Bai Hongtu to the tree.

Bai Hongtu, tied to the tree, flailed his legs and shouted resentfully: “I’ve made contributions to the nine provinces, I’ve bled for the nine provinces, I want to see the Human Emperor, I want to see the Human Emperor…wait, it seems it’s the Human Emperor who tied me up…”

Having idly shouted to see the Human Emperor and realizing that it didn’t fit the situation, he quickly changed: “I want to see Lord Liu, I want to see Lord Liu…”

Yu Yin reassured him from the side: “Don’t worry, Jiang Li wants to test here how far he has learned the principles of musical rhythms.”

“Why not experiment on yourself!” Bai Hongtu frowned, angrily glaring at Yu Yin.

Yu Yin admitted frankly: “Because I have no confidence in Jiang Li’s musical rhythms.”

“Do you think I have any confidence?!”

Bai Hongtu suddenly realized, and turned his head to Jiang Li who was adjusting the guitar strings: “I understand now, you must be jealous of my talent in musical rhythms…”

“Not at all.”

Jiang Li denied it, playing a tumultuous piece, meanwhile singing: “Two tigers, two tigers, running fast, running fast…”

Yu Yin hastily used his mana to drain the air from the surroundings, creating a vacuum in which he took refuge.

Bai Hongtu felt like countless little devils crawling out of hell, tugging at his legs, trying to drag him into the underworld.

Jiang Li thought he sang quite well, but judging from Bai Hongtu’s tormented and distorted face, there seemed to be a gap between how he perceived himself and the actual effect.

“The Path of Music is indeed quite challenging.” Jiang Li exclaimed as he calmed the guitar strings.

Yu Yin also emerged from the vacuum: “Seems like you won’t be able to learn ‘what is said follows’.”

Bai Hongtu shook off his bonds, revealing an expression of unmasked schadenfreude.

Being in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, how could Bai Hongtu really be tied to a tree? He simply wanted to use poison to combat poison, to forget the psychological shadow left by Jiang Li’s use of musical rhythms.

However, it seemed the result wasn’t great. He hadn’t forgotten what happened earlier, and a new psychological shadow was left.

Jiang Li thought a bit and said: “Not necessarily. You try using ‘what is said follows’ a few times and let me see.”

Yu Yin whispered: “Today there will be rain.”

Suddenly, it started raining heavily from a clear sky, soaking the entire mountain.

Outside the mountain, not a drop of rain fell. It was as if an invisible barrier separated the mountain from the outside world, like two different realities.

“Water can burn.”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

A regular flame rose from Yu Yin’s palm. The rain met the fire and ignited. The flames spread rapidly from the ground to the sky, turning the whole cloud into a fiery cloud. The fiery cloud rained down, transforming into countless flames.

The stream caught fire, turning into a sea of fire. When the waterfall met the flames, it turned into a waterfall of fire.

“Disperse.”

At Yu Yin’s command, whether it was the heavy rain or the heavy fire, all disappeared without a trace.

The plants that were burned by the fire also returned to their original state.

The streams murmured, the waterfall cascaded, the grass was tender and green, as if nothing had happened.

“I see, this is the principle of ‘what is said follows’. The earth is flowing.”

After Jiang Li finished speaking, the ground beneath his feet became as fluid as seawater. He bobbed gently and soon was engulfed by the soft, moist earth.

Jiang Li lay flat, moving with the wafting waves of the earthy sea.

Having risen again, he said: “Disperse,” and the earth returned to its normal state.

“It’s rather easy. I’ve learned.” Jiang Li’s small experiment turned out well.

“How did you manage to learn it? Have you studied ‘the word guides the law’? Have you studied the principles of musical rhythms? What about the process?” Bai Hongtu didn’t understand.

“The Divine Skill ‘what is said follows’ evolved from ‘the word guides the law’ and the principles of musical rhythms, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to learn these two principles first. You only need to watch ‘what is said follows’ several times to learn it.” Jiang Li shrugged. He had carefully observed Yu Yin’s movements when he used ‘what is said follows’ and could learn from that.

You only need to have a mouth.

Bai Hongtu grit his teeth; he really couldn’t compete with Jiang Li in terms of innate talent for Dao spells. He could only commit to studying ‘the word guides the law’ and the principles of musical rhythms.

…

“You must think thrice before you act!”

With the words of heaven in his mouth, Bai Hongtu told Jiang Li to stop, and he really did stop and began to think three times.

Not to be outdone, Jiang Li said, “Don’t do unto others what you wouldn’t have them do unto you.”

Bai Hongtu also had to think three times.

After learning ‘what is said follows’, the two men controlled their realm to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage and competed.

Bai Hongtu pointed at Jiang Li and commanded, “You must maintain a sunny disposition!”

A little sun appeared in Jiang Li’s heart, terrifyingly hot.

Jiang Li responded, “You must cheer up!”

Bai Hongtu’s hand moved uncontrollably, digging out his heart.

The two men looked at each other and decided to call a temporary truce. Jiang Li extinguished the tiny sun while Bai Hongtu swallowed his heart.

“My sword qi flows like a cascade, unstoppable.”

Innumerable sword qi emerged around Bai Hongtu, tearing through space, looking menacing.

He pointed with a sinister smile, and the countless sword qi converged into a mighty dragon, roaring, full of metal and toughness, rushing toward Jiang Li.

Jiang Li issued a command, “No carrying of controlled knives allowed.”

The sword qi vanished without a trace and the mighty dragon disappeared instantly.

Jiang Li launched a counterattack, “You’re as stubborn as a bull!”

Bai Hongtu became angry, his eyes turned red, and bull’s horns appeared on his head, resembling a raging bull.

Seething, Bai Hongtu commanded, “You’ve got a lotus flower in your mouth!”

Jiang Li opened his mouth, and one by one, lotus flowers appeared, falling to the ground beneath him. Soon, Jiang Li was surrounded by lotus flowers.

“You’ll gush golden springs!”

A golden spring emerged beneath Bai Hongtu’s feet, spraying him into the sky.

Watching the shenanigans of the two fellows who had newly learned ‘what is said follows’, Yu Yin, who stood not far away, seemed speechless: “Could you two perhaps do something useful?”

Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu both paused their actions at the same time, feeling that Yu Yin’s words made sense.

Therefore, Jiang Li said: “I am going to use the power of time.”

A bewildered Ji Zhi appeared, looking at Jiang Li. He was just practising, how did he end up here all of a sudden?

“Could someone explain to me what just happened?”
