Chapter 1083: State of Mind

After the competition ended, the news of what happened during the competition spread, and a big stir occurred in the Tianxuan Nine Regions.

Many people who had never been to the Yaohuang Territory to watch the competition were shocked when they learned the final result and could not believe it was true.

The first place in this competition was not from the Divine Palace, nor even from the Eight Young Masters of the Monster Territory. Not many people knew his name, which undoubtedly broke the countless years of conventions of the Wilderness Territory Competition.

You know, in every previous competition, at least six of the top ten were from the Divine Palace, and the remaining few were also top geniuses in the Monster Territory.

But this time, there was a big change. Many top demons in the Divine Palace were eliminated in advance, which made people unable to accept that this was true.

In addition, there was a powerful demon cultivator who was arrogant by nature. Because of him, he even attracted the Great Emperor of the Moko Clan during the competition. However, even so, an emperor of the Moko Dynasty was killed without any room for maneuver.

Afterwards, he actually crossed the border and defeated Mo Lingzi of Sanqing Immortal Palace, shocking the whole audience. If he hadn't voluntarily admitted defeat later, he would have probably shaken the third place.

Of course, the most dazzling one was the first place, the young man named Qin Xuan.

As the news of Qin Xuan becoming the first spread, many people also knew his identity, the direct disciple of Qin Mo Ximen Guyan.

Moreover, he had defeated Hua Yuntian who had crossed several realms in Sunset Guyan City.

In fact, he had already shown his edge at that time, but that only happened in Sunset Guyan City, and not many people paid attention to it. The Wilderness Competition was different. The entire Tianxuan Nine Regions were watching this event. Once there was an outstanding performance, it would inevitably enter the sight of many people.

Qin Xuan, who won the first place in the competition, was unparalleled and the most eye-catching.

Now almost all the forces in Tianxuan Nine Regions know the name of Qin Xuan, and put him on the list of the top evildoers in Tianxuan Nine Regions, and no longer regard him as an ordinary junior figure.

There are many stories about the competition that have spread. Those who did not go to watch it in person regretted it in their hearts. If they had known this, they would never have missed such a grand event. It's a pity that it's too late to regret now.

...

Sunset Solitary Smoke City, outside the City Lord's Mansion.

A pair of young men came together. The man was dressed in white and handsome, and the woman beside him was beautiful.

As soon as the two appeared, they caused a big sensation, and many people looked at them.

These two people were Qin Xuan and Duan Ruoxi.

They came from the Monster Domain. In fact, the distance from the Monster Domain to Sunset Solitary Smoke City is not far, and it only takes two or three days to arrive, but they traveled along the way to enjoy the beautiful scenery, so it took five or six days to arrive.

"Is this where the master lives?" Duan Ruoxi looked at the mansion in front of her with her beautiful eyes. This mansion is not much different from the mansions of ordinary kingdoms. It is not luxurious, and it has a bit of simplicity. It seems to have experienced a long time.

"That's right." Qin Xuan nodded, looked at Duan Ruoxi and said with a smile: "Let's go, Master should be inside."

So the two of them walked towards the door. The crowd around them saw the direction they were heading, and their expressions couldn't help but stagnate. These two people actually wanted to enter the City Lord's Mansion. What are their identities?

Some people looked thoughtful after seeing Qin Xuan. This young man had an outstanding temperament. They seemed to have seen him somewhere before.

Soon Qin Xuan and Duan Ruoxi walked into the City Lord's Mansion. No one stopped them, and they disappeared from everyone's sight.

"I remember it!" Suddenly, an extremely excited shout came from the crowd.

The crowd turned their eyes and looked at the person who spoke. They saw that the man's face flushed red, his eyes were filled with shock, and he shouted: "That young man is Qin Xuan!"

"Qin Xuan!"

Hearing this name, the hearts of the crowd trembled fiercely, and there were storms in their hearts. The young man in white who just walked into the City Lord's Mansion was the first place in this wilderness competition?

Although Sunset Smoky City is a marginal city, it has a huge flow of people on weekdays. Many people from other domains come here every day, but not many people actually live here.

Therefore, many people have only heard of Qin Xuan's name, but have never seen him. Only the residents of Sunset Smoky City can recognize him.

"He is really Qin Xuan, are you sure you are not mistaken?" Someone confirmed again, his heart trembling slightly. The peerless genius who made a sensation in the entire Tianxuan Nine Domains was the young man just now. He was a little unconvinced.

Although the young man had an extraordinary temperament, he was a little low-key. He did not have the pride exuded by those top monsters. In comparison, he seemed inferior.

"Hmph, I live in Sunset Smoky City. I also witnessed his battle with Hua Yuntian in the void last time. How could I be wrong?" The man snorted coldly, as if he saw that the people around him did not believe his words, and then said: "Not all geniuses are flamboyant. Qin Xuan is very low-key. Have you heard of his name before?"

Hearing this, many people were speechless.

This man's words are indeed correct. There are indeed many amazing people in this world who act low-key. For example, the descendant of the Lord of the Wasteland, although his reputation is resounding throughout the wasteland, very few people have seen him appear, and even the number of times he has taken action is very small.

But in this competition, he is the third.

"No wonder he entered the City Lord's Mansion directly. He must be Qin Xuan, there is no way he could be wrong!" Someone else affirmed. As we all know, Qin Xuan is a disciple of Ximen Guyan, so entering the City Lord's Mansion is naturally a normal thing. .

Many people nodded, feeling very uneasy in their hearts. They did not expect that the person they usually discussed had just appeared in front of them. This felt a bit illusory and unrealistic.

In their view, Qin Xuan was like a figure in the clouds, too far away from them, but they did not expect that he was just like ordinary people, so that they could not recognize him.

"The young woman who went in with Qin Xuan must be his partner. As the rumors describe, she is qualified to compete with the four beauties. She is beautiful and refined, and her temperament is flawless."

"..."

For a time, many figures gathered outside the city lord's palace, which seemed extremely lively and noisy. Everyone was discussing about Qin Xuan and Duan Ruoxi.

Naturally, Qin Xuan and Duan Ruoxi didn't know about the commotion they caused. They walked into the city lord's palace and walked straight to the inner courtyard.

Qin Xuan stopped by the lake and respectfully shouted inside: "Master."

Duan Ruoxi glanced at Qin Xuan. She was so smart. Naturally, she instantly understood Qin Xuan's thoughts and shouted inside: "Ruoxi has met Master."

"Haha, you all come in."

Suddenly, a hearty laughter came from the depths, and then Qin Xuan and Duan Ruoxi continued along the path. Soon they came to a bamboo forest, and wisps of melodious piano music came from it, lingering in their ears, making them People couldn't help but feel much more relaxed, as if they had forgotten many worries.

The two walked several hundred meters into the bamboo forest and saw an elegant figure sitting cross-legged on the ground, lowering his head and playing the piano. The breeze blew by, and his black hair was swaying in the wind. There was something different about this scene. artistic conception.

When Qin Xuan and Duan Ruoxi saw this scene, neither of them said anything to disturb them. Instead, they sat down quietly, listened to the music, and understood the artistic conception contained in the music.

The sound of the piano can contain emotions, and the emotions can lead to artistic conception. The artistic conception contains the greatest truth. Understanding the music played by the saints is of great help to spiritual practice.

Ximen Guyan is known as the Qin Demon, and his attainments in Qin Dao are unparalleled by anyone except the Qin Saint in Tianxuan.

Suddenly, Ximen Guyan raised his head and stopped his fingers. The music in the space suddenly stopped. However, the music in Qin Xuan and Duan Ruoxi's minds continued. Both of them were immersed in that artistic conception and did not come out.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Xuan opened his eyes, and a dazzling light shone past.

He seemed to have understood something, and looked at Ximen Guyan, smiling: "Master's piano music is indeed profound. If the disciple can practice with me every day, my strength will definitely leap forward."

"You have a good idea, kid." Ximen Guyan scolded with a smile. Suddenly he looked a little more serious and asked: "To be honest, have you ever resented me?"

"Why did Master ask this?" Qin Xuan asked, he vaguely guessed something.

"Although I accepted you as my disciple, I rarely imparted my skills to you. I only played a few pieces of music for you, and you had to understand the artistic conception on your own without any guidance. Are you dissatisfied?" Ximen Gu said. Yan asked: "No matter what you say, Master will not care. I want to hear your truest thoughts."

"Really?" Qin Xuan's eyes flashed with light.

"Of course, how could I lie to you?" Ximen Guyan looked certain.

"I have never resented Master. I only have gratitude and respect in my heart." Qin Xuan said solemnly, looking very serious, and there was no longer a casual look on his face.

Hearing this answer, a strange light flashed in the depths of Ximen Guyan's eyes, but his face remained calm. He shook his head and said, "I don't believe it."

"Although Master did not teach me any abilities, he only told me some artistic conceptions in the sound of the piano. However, these artistic conceptions invisibly improved my state of mind and allowed me to feel some things that I could not detect in ordinary times. These have a great impact on me. It’s more important than magical powers.”

Qin Xuan slowly spoke: "The higher the realm, the higher the requirements for understanding. In fact, the requirements for mental state are also very high. It's just that many people don't care or subconsciously ignore it. Saints are called the realm of legends. However, if Without an extraordinary state of mind, how can one transcend the ordinary and become a saint?"

Ximen Guyan nodded with satisfaction. He had indeed seen the right person.

The reason why he asked Qin Xuan was to test Qin Xuan's inner thoughts. He was worried that Qin Xuan would be arrogant and arrogant because of his achievements in this competition, which would affect his mood. But now it seems that he was overly worried. .

What Qin Xuan saw was far beyond ordinary people of his generation, and even some people who had entered the imperial realm were not seen. With such knowledge, it is not difficult to become a saint!
