Chapter 570: Chapter 566: Reaching the Summit in a Day Stuns All the Geniuses

Since the Melody Rules had to be played with instruments, Xia Feng’s God-Burying Bell wasn’t in its usual attack state but transformed into a set of small Bell Sets.

The melodious music resonated on the Celestial Sound Ladder, causing the surrounding Great Dao Rules to fluctuate with the music.

However, the expressions of the surrounding prodigies grew increasingly unpleasant.

"No, it can’t be! How long has it been since he stepped onto the Celestial Sound Ladder, has it even been half an incense stick’s time?"

"Probably, but during most of this half incense stick’s time, there were those fools from the Blowing Sound Sect chattering away. How long did it take for him to comprehend the Melody Rules, just a few breaths?"

"Maybe he had already comprehended this Melody Rule before, which is why he was able to understand it instantly."

Someone spoke those words, and after they finished, the atmosphere around became even more tense.

They could hear the music Xia Feng played, and the Great Dao Rules contained within it were already profoundly deep, realms they had never reached.

If Xia Feng had mastered such profound Great Dao Rules before entering the Celestial Sound Ladder, then how powerful was his cultivation really?

Those who had been challenging Xia Feng all this time, did they appear as mere jesters in his eyes?

Xia Feng ignored these people and directly ascended to the second tier, holding Qi Wan’Er’s hand.

There was a collective gasp from the crowd. Previously, many had only speculated whether Xia Feng had passed the first tier, and most remained skeptical, thinking Xia Feng was casually playing a piece of music.

Now, seeing Xia Feng step onto the second tier, everyone believed that Xia Feng had truly comprehended a brand-new Great Dao Rule, and even a very profound one at that.

Xia Feng wasn’t fond of this atmosphere. After reaching the second tier, he wasted no time, closed his eyes, and entered the Dream Realm Pearl to comprehend.

The rules within the second tier were indeed more complex than those in the first tier, taking Xia Feng about a day. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

But outside the Dream Realm Pearl, it only took a few breaths.

The prodigies on the first tier hadn’t even recovered from the shock of Xia Feng’s breakthrough to the second tier, when they saw Xia Feng set up his Bell Set and begin playing.

This time, the music was even more mysterious and profound; even Xia Feng pondered for a moment before starting to play.

The pleasant sound of tinkling bells rang beside everyone’s ears, completely shattering the proud hearts of the onlooking prodigies.

And that was just the beginning; Xia Feng’s subsequent actions not only shattered their pride but trampled mercilessly on the talents they prided themselves on.

He quickly ascended to the third tier, as if he didn’t need to comprehend anything in the eyes of the prodigies.

All he needed to do was stand on the tier for an instant to play the assessment piece.

Meanwhile, the prodigies were still struggling to ascend to the second tier, and Xia Feng and Qi Wan’Er were breezing through the tiers, one after another.

The fans of the Blowing Sound Sect, who had initially boasted to Xia Feng, turned red-faced, realizing that their previous boasts must have seemed like the antics of a clown in Xia Feng’s eyes.

His lips trembled slightly, and after a long time, he finally spoke, "Could it be that the Celestial Sound Saintess has given him special treatment?"

Upon hearing this, many prodigies’ expressions shifted subtly, their faces showing deeper contemplation.

These people would rather believe that the Celestial Sound Saintess gave a stranger special treatment than believe that Xia Feng’s talent was so robust it allowed him to instantly comprehend the Great Dao.

They even deluded themselves, entirely disregarding the profoundness of the Great Dao Xia Feng played, focusing solely on belittling his achievements.

By the time Xia Feng had reached the fifth tier, his pace had slowed compared to the previous tiers.

Though he could thoroughly comprehend the Melody Rules within the Dream Realm Pearl, there would still be some discrepancies in playing them.

Every time Xia Feng had to consider deeply for a good while before starting to play, and occasionally there would be errors, requiring him to perform a second time.

The prodigies still stuck at the first tier no longer focused on Xia Feng; they feared the more they watched, the dimmer their own futures would seem.

Instead of focusing on such extraordinary talent, they preferred to think about how they could swiftly comprehend the Great Dao on the tier.

Xia Feng stood on the fifth tier and looked back at those still stuck on the first tier, his expression tinged with a hint of disinterest.

Qi Wan’Er tugged his hand and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Husband, what are you looking at?"

Xia Feng shook his head, "Nothing. Let’s make a concerted effort and break through the first trial directly."

Qi Wan’Er always followed Xia Feng’s lead, and since he suggested making a direct effort, she nodded, fully concentrating on comprehending the Melody Rules alongside him.

Even though the two were on the same tier, the Great Dao Rules they comprehended were entirely different. The Melody Rules Xia Feng perceived and realized were obviously far more complex and profound than Qi Wan’Er’s.

Occasionally, when Qi Wan’Er glanced inadvertently in Xia Feng’s direction, she felt dizzy, and sometimes even her Divine Soul was slightly affected.

Seeing Qi Wan’Er’s discomfort, Xia Feng frowned slightly and accelerated his comprehension of the Melody Rules.

Now, every time Qi Wan’Er finished comprehending her Melody Rules, Xia Feng had already thoroughly understood his and dispelled those rules.

The two of them spent about a day on the Celestial Sound Ladder and reached the highest point, even though they had spent a considerable amount of time playing music on the ladder; otherwise, their speed would have been even faster.

After the performance on the tenth tier, a melodious sound echoed throughout the Celestial Sound Ladder, and the figure of the Celestial Sound Saintess appeared from mid-air.

"Congratulations to both of you for being the first to pass the first trial; you must wait outside for the other trial takers to finish their assessments."

The announcement startled all the prodigies still comprehending the Melody Rules, and they looked incredulously at the two at the top, their emotions mixed.

On one hand, they were stunned by Xia Feng and Wan’Er’s swift progress, while on the other hand, they felt a sense of relief.

Originally, they thought passing the trial would immediately lead to the second trial, and they worried Xia Feng’s speed might claim the final inheritance.

Now they knew that even though he passed, he could only wait outside for them to finish before entering the second trial, they were instantly relieved.

In their minds, the first trial was merely Xia Feng getting lucky in his area of expertise, and that in the second trial, he would be brought back to reality and could no longer prance about.

Xia Feng ignored their gazes and instead looked towards the treasure at the top of the Celestial Sound Ladder.
