At the four-part architecture.

The Firefinches were chirping non-stop. They shared techniques on how to lay eggs and their experiences in their diet, strength, and egg-laying poses. They were discussing and analyzing how to quickly lay high-quality eggs.

​​

Suddenly, they heard the music. It instantly made them shut up. They all stood still like stone statues. Their minds went blank.

Daji and the others were surprised, too. They felt relaxed when they heard the music. They felt as if they were surrounded by endless Wisdom. They had forgotten all other thoughts.

It was extremely scary.

Wisdom shall not be sought in the realm. They had to understand and realize it. They had to have talent, capabilities, and luck to gain Wisdom. However, the realm was quiet. The realm was like a fountain of Wisdom. Anyone could gain Wisdom as they pleased.

Most importantly…their minds were at peace with the music. They tossed away negative thoughts.

'What kind of blessing is this?'

The Wisdom Tea was nothing compared to that. They felt like Wisdom in the music was pushing them to improve.

'So scary. This is so awesome that I feel like I'm cheating.'

"Oof!"

Daji groaned. Her nine snow-white tails suddenly came out. They surrounded her. Then, she turned to her true form. She became a snow-white fox.

The Fire Pheonix's wings also appeared and she turned into a Phoenix. Dragon's horns also grew out and she turned into a Dragon.

The music seemed to have created a space where it reset everything to its original form.

At the bottom of the Fallen Immortal Mountain.

Yang Jing followed Blackie and Deified Dog to the Immortal Realm. They walked towards the four-part architecture.

He looked at Blackie that was leading the way. He still felt unreal.

'Can someone so incredible exist? Did this black dog slap a Quasi-Saint to death? This is so crazy.'

Moreover, he went back to the Heavenly Palace and talked to the Jade Emperor. The two of them pieced their information together and found out why the realm was changing. In the end, they concluded—the world needed to kiss up to the expert!

"Heaven from another world?" Yang Jing flinched. "So what? I'm the Judicial God. I protect the lives of the three realms. Why would I be afraid?!"

He was determined. He stopped letting his mind wander. He looked at Deified Dog that was following Blackie closely and instantly felt a mix of emotions.

The way Deified Dog walked and followed Blackie made him realize what a pure bootlicker looked like.

'Why didn't Deified Dog kiss up to me like that back then?

'Well, this hurts my feelings as the master!'

Suddenly, Yang Jing stopped in his tracks. He saw a figure at the front. He immediately walked over.

The figure also noticed Yang Jing and the others. He straightened up when he saw Blackie. He hurriedly saluted with respect, "Greetings from Ao Cheng to the Lord Dog. Lord Dog, are you about to go home?"

Ao Cheng was not there when Blackie killed a Quasi-Saint but he heard it from Ao Yun. Ao Yun also boasted about getting Deluxe Merit.

He had no doubts at all. He was used to it. He thought that Blackie was awesome.

Blackie coldly nodded. He said calmly, "I'm bringing my little brother's master to visit my master."

Ao Cheng looked at Deified Dog. Then, he looked at Yang Jing. He immediately smiled and asked, "May I know if you're God Jiro, Yang Jing?"

Yang Jing nodded and replied, "Yes I am."

Ao Cheng said, "I'm the Eastern Sea Dragon King, Ao Cheng. Greetings to God Jiro."

Yang Jing smiled and waved it off. Then, he looked at the packages that Ao Cheng carried. He said, "You're too courteous, Dragon King. You're carrying…?"

Ao Cheng immediately replied, "These are some seafood from the local sea. I just conquered the Southern Sea so I brought some deep-sea creatures for the expert to taste."

"For the expert?" Yang Jing raised his eyebrows. He suddenly realized he did not bring anything.

He was never a people pleaser so naturally, he forgot about it.

Ao Cheng was a smart old fella. He immediately smiled and said, "God Jiro, if you forgot to bring something, I can share some with you."

"Thank you so much." Yang Jing sighed in relief. Then, he promised, "Don't worry, I'll go to the Southern Sea in the future to hunt more seafood and return it to you."

The mouth of Ao Cheng twitched. "Ha, thanks. I…don't need that."

They walked without chatting.

They quickly arrived at the halfway point with Blackie leading the way.

Then, they suddenly heard soft humming music.

The music was soft but they momentarily jolted. It woke them up like an alarm clock in the morning. Their minds were buzzing as they forgot everything for a moment.

"This...this is… Basics of Wisdom!"

Yang Jing had goosebumps all over. He could only think of getting closer and listening!

He felt like endless Wisdom was waving at him at that moment. He felt thirsty and needed Wisdom to quench his thirst.

Ao Cheng, Yang Jing, and Deified Dog looked obsessed. They walked toward the music.

They soon saw the four-part architecture as they got closer.

Yang Jing felt like the four-part architecture was getting bigger as they approached it. It was a majestic building. On top of the four-part architecture was endless Wisdom, roaring like the sea. Then, he was drowning in it!

'Rejoice!

'The Wisdom in the yard is rejoicing!

'Wisdom that could not be sought appears in front of me!'

The Wisdom was too intense. It was like a big sun that blinded his eyes. Yang Jing felt powerful and feverish.

His third eye was the widest. His Bajiu Divine Skill was automatically activated. A golden hue appeared and enlarged his body.

Ao Cheng turned into a Dragon at the side. He did not dare to twist and turn. He laid on the floor like a snake and listened quietly.

They did not know how much time had passed. Maybe it was a few minutes, perhaps it was a century-long. The music slowly stopped and the realm quieted down again.

Yang Jing and Ao Cheng snapped out of it. They did not want to wake up. They could still hear the music echoing in their ears.

Ao Cheng was back to his human form. He suddenly said in a trembling voice, "My…my cultivation state!"

He was originally a post-Taiyi Golden Immortal. However… He had become a Daluo Golden Immortal!

The music allowed him to break through into a Daluo Golden Immortal!

Ao Cheng was not just pleasantly surprised. He was fully surprised and shocked.

It was beyond his understanding because it was impossible.

Daluo Golden Immortals were beyond the rule of the three realms. They could enjoy immortality and the privileges of the realm. It was a game-changing transformation in the lives of cultivators.

'I've dreamt about this forever. Sometimes, I'd even wake up smiling from dreaming that I've become a Daluo Golden Immortal. Did my dream come true just like that? I don't even feel like I had the breakthrough. This is unreal.'

"I… Me too…" said Yang Jing. He was dumbfounded.

"Yikes—"

Ao Cheng gasped. He looked at Yang Jing with shock. He went from shocked to extremely shocked.

It was already confusing that he had a breakthrough, but Yang Jing's breakthrough was even more puzzling.

'What's the breakthrough of a Daluo Golden Immortal?

'Quasi-Saint!

'He became a Quasi-Saint! Everyone else is like an insect compared to Saints. Even though there's a 'Quasi', he's still a Saint!

'How did the breakthrough happen?

'So scary. I have chills at the thought of it.'

Most importantly, Yang Jing cultivated the Bajiu Divine Skill so he mainly cultivated his flesh. It was even harder for him to become a Quasi-Saint!

Ao Cheng was shuddering. He trembled and asked, "For… For real?"

It was good news. However, it was so good that it was horrifying.

Yang Jing closed his eyes and rechecked. He tried to stop trembling. He said with seriousness. "For real!"

Suddenly, Deified Dog spoke up. He also sounded shocked. "Master, I had a breakthrough, too. I'm now a Daluo Golden Immortal Dog."

'Expert!'

'The incredible expert!'

They were mentally prepared but they were still shocked by the incident. They felt it in their bones and they would never forget it.

'What kind of music was that? Immortal Music? Godly Music? They're all whack! They can't compare to the kind of music we heard just now!'

Yang Jing took a deep breath and asked, "The person living there…is the expert, right?"

Ao Cheng gulped and nodded.

He did not expect to have such a blessing just because he visited. He felt dizzy, excited, and anxious.

Blackie looked calm. He said, "Alright, nothing to be so shocked about. The master occasionally does something to express himself. Seems like he was inspired to freestyle. The realm would be filled with Wisdom and Insights. You all are in luck."

"Inspired? Freestyle?"

Yang Jing and the others were stunned. 'That was made out of the blue? What would happen if the expert tried to be serious then?'

Ao Cheng was mind blown. He forced himself to ask, "Um, Lord… Lord Dog, the expert constantly does that?"

"Occasionally. A few times a year. Purely based on luck."

Blackie paused. He sighed and reminisced, "I miss the old days. Back then, the master would suddenly be artistic and I'd have a breakthrough. I can't do that anymore. I can only improve slightly nowadays."

'Damn!'

Yang Jing and the others almost coughed up blood.

'Do you know that you're already invincible because you followed your master?'

'Saint Dog! It's already incredible that you're able to improve… No, wait, it's impossible that you're even able to improve. Alright?'

'What a showoff.'

'I'm so jealous!'

'No one would believe us if we told them we got a breakthrough just by listening to music.'

'Why am I a cultivator? I just want to listen to the music of the expert…'

Blackie rushed them, "Alright, stop it. Let's go knock on the door."

"Yeah, yes, Lord Dog." Ao Cheng kept nodding. He calmed his emotions and slowly stepped forward. He knocked on the door with the utmost respect.

"May I know if the Lord Saint is at home? Ao Cheng came to visit."

Creak.

Xiao Bai was the one that answered the door. "Come on in. Blackie, I see you still know how to come back."

"Xiao Bai, long time no see," greeted Blackie. Then, he sprinted into the four-part architecture. He naturally did not need to be polite in his own house.

Ao Cheng saluted Xiao Bai with respect. Then, he entered.

Daji and the Fire Phoenix had stopped being shocked and joyous in the four-part architecture. They went back to their gracious selves.

They were now Daluo Golden Immortals because of the music. Nanan and Dragin had breakthroughs, too.

Yang Jing felt like he entered a different dimension when he walked into the four-part architecture. The markings of Wisdom still filled the air.

There was also endless Immortal Qi in the air, washing over him like waves. It was a whirlpool of Immortal Qi. He felt like he was slightly damp from mist.

The misty water was not ordinary. It was a liquid that formed because the Immortal Qi was too dense. Also…he had a feeling that something was changing in the Immortal Qi, too!
