Chapter 646: Chapter 646 Perfecting the Flower Immortal Five Tones_1
By this woman’s side, there stood two young girls, one to the left and one to the right.

Upon seeing this woman, Zihe’s pretty face showed a trace of surprise.

“Immortal Leader.”

She bowed her head.

“I have seen the Immortal Leader.”

Tao Yao also bowed in greeting.

Immortal Leader?

This woman seemed to be the Immortal Leader of Bai Huatian.

On the way here, Qin Changqing had heard from them that in the Nine Heavens of the Immortal Realm, each level was governed by an Immortal Leader.

The Moon God was the Immortal Leader in charge of the Moon Immortal World.

“You are… Tao Yao?”

The Flowers Heavenly Fairy looked towards Tao Yao.

“Yes, Immortal Leader, I didn’t expect you to recognize me.”

Tao Yao was somewhat pleased.

“Reincarnating as a human isn’t bad, it reduces many of the calamities faced during cultivation,” said the Flowers Heavenly Fairy.

Right then, she turned to look at Qin Changqing.

“I have seen the Immortal Leader.”

Qin Changqing replied with neither humility nor arrogance.

“You are Qin Changqing, are you not?”

The Flowers Heavenly Fairy directly identified Qin Changqing’s identity.

“The Immortal Leader has insightful eyes, indeed it is I,” Qin Changqing said.

“Surviving through the nine tribulations to become immortal, with the Taoist Rhyme in harmony, Qin Changqing, thank you for assisting Zihe. This is a token of thanks on behalf of Zihe,” the Flowers Heavenly Fairy offered an exquisitely crafted pouch.

“Immortal Leader, there’s no need for such formality… Qin Changqing is my husband, so we can forego the token of thanks,” Zihe quickly said as she saw the Flowers Heavenly Fairy preparing to give a thank you gift.

She naturally didn’t want to take advantage of such a small benefit; it wasn’t that she didn’t want Qin Changqing to accept gifts, but with her relationship with Qin Changqing, there was no need for the Flowers Heavenly Fairy to give a token on someone else’s behalf.

Wouldn’t it be awkward once their relationship became public?

So, seizing the opportunity, Zihe openly disclosed their identities in front of the Immortal Leader.

When the Immortal Leader arrived, she might have already heard her address him, but she was not certain.

“Husband?”

The Flowers Heavenly Fairy looked at Zihe, her tone questioning.

Zihe approached Qin Changqing, took his hand, and said, “Yes, Immortal Leader, Qin Changqing is my husband!”

The Flowers Heavenly Fairy’s expression showed a visible change.

However, this change quickly dissipated.

“You married him?”

“Yes!”

Zihe nodded emphatically.

“Congratulations to you both.”

The Flowers Heavenly Fairy still handed over the exquisitely crafted pouch: “Since that is the case, consider this a wedding gift from me.”

“Thank you, Immortal Leader.”

This time, the Flower Fairy accepted the pouch.

The Flowers Heavenly Fairy then turned to Qin Changqing: “Qin Changqing, it seems you have delved deeply into the study of the Taoist Rhyme?”

Qin Changqing replied modestly, “I have studied it somewhat. May I have the honor of discussing it further with you above?”

She continued.

While speaking, those eloquent eyes turned towards Qin Changqing.

Her gaze was quite gentle, but it still required courage to meet her eyes.

In fact, if it were an ordinary immortal in front of her, they probably wouldn’t even dare to look.

“With the Immortal Leader’s invitation, I am naturally willing,” Qin Changqing said.

The Flowers Heavenly Fairy stepped to one side, clearing the way and made a “please” gesture.

Behind her, the two sword-bearing girls parted their swords, creating a doorway.

Through this door, a completely different scene was visible.

“Zihe, there will be many coming to offer congratulations, you go ahead and stay busy, and I shall return shortly after I accompany the Immortal Leader.”

After Qin Changqing finished speaking, he entered the gateway.

Upon entry, he indeed found himself in another place.

This place seemed to be located at the highest point of the entire Bai Huatian.

Looking down, one could see the entirety of Bai Huatian.

Looking up… was a tree that blotted out the sun, its height unknown, with flames blazing atop… a tree!

This tree looked extremely astonishing.

The whole tree was burning, but peculiarly, it never burned out.

Nor did it emit thick smoke.

Among these roaring flames, it still tenaciously bloomed flowers that also burned with flame, as if they were made of flames themselves.

“Could this be the embodiment of the Flowers Heavenly Fairy?”

Qin Changqing looked at the tree.

“This isn’t my embodiment. There are ten Ancient Divine Trees in the Immortal World, and four of them are in our Bai Huatian; this Endless Tree is one of them,”

the voice of the Flowers Celestial Master sounded.

Her gaze was sharp, perceiving the doubts in Qin Changqing’s eyes.

Behind him, the door had already closed.

The two maidens were nowhere to be seen.

“Sit,”

the Flowers Celestial Master said.

Next to Qin Changqing, a chair woven from fresh flowers had already appeared.

Qin Changqing sat down.

The Flowers Celestial Master then sat down as well.

Soon after, several Flower Fairies flew up and poured a cup of tea for Qin Changqing.

“This is Osmanthus Tea, made from petals the Osmanthus Immortal King gave me,” the Flowers Celestial Master introduced.

Qin Changqing took a sip, and a refreshing fragrance filled the air, invigorating his spirit upon entering his mouth.

This tea was not something an ordinary person could taste.

“If I’m not mistaken, Zihe has performed all of the Flower Immortal Five Tones for you, hasn’t she?”

The Flowers Celestial Master began discussing formal matters.

Qin Changqing admitted, “Mhm.”

“The Flower Immortal Five Tones have no restrictions; anyone can learn them, except, they were specifically created for Flower Fairies, and no Immortals are willing to learn them,”

the Flowers Celestial Master said lightly.

“Actually, I wish they would learn them, even better if they could help us perfect it. In creating a systematic set of Taoist Rhyme, even I find it quite challenging.”

She paused for a moment, then continued.

This was also why the Flower Immortal Five Tones were unrestricted.

Fully comprehending the Tao doesn’t mean you can create Taoist Rhyme.

One or two parts are not problematic.

The key issue is that you need to create a systematic and continuous set of Taoist Rhyme that can help others comprehend and confirm the Tao.

That’s where the difficulty lies.

Each tone is a huge project, composed of who knows how many notes.

Moreover, there’s one other problem, which is whether others can learn each tone one by one.

It must be coherent, with great emphasis on continuity.

After others have learned it, they should be able to use this Taoist Rhyme to comprehend and confirm the Tao.

It’s not something you can just make up willy-nilly.

As with the Wind Fairy Eight Sounds, after grasping seven tones, one can confirm their path towards Great Luo.

That’s where the difficulty lies.

It’s like writing a textbook.

No, it’s much harder than writing a textbook.

Plants becoming Immortal are inherently less insightful than humans.

Regardless of strong power or high realm, creation is never easy.

When it comes to Taoist Rhyme, they’re at a disadvantage.

Currently, Bai Huatian only has the Flower Immortal Five Tones at most.

The other two types of Taoist Rhyme are less in number.

One is the Flowers Melody, with only three tones.

Then there’s another called the Sound of All Things, which is even fewer, with only one tone.

“The Flower Immortal Five Tones have passed through many hands, and I’ve made improvements too, but always felt they weren’t smooth enough, which is why the sixth tone has never been created. Listening to your fusion of music and Tao opened my eyes, and thus, I wish to invite you to help me perfect the Flower Immortal Five Tones,”

the Flowers Heavenly Fairy revealed her purpose.

She was straightforward, getting to the point in just a few words.

“If possible, being able to create the subsequent Taoist Rhyme would be fantastic. Whether successful or not, on behalf of Bai Huatian, I will offer you a generous reward,”

the Flowers Heavenly Fairy added.

Having said that, she then looked at Qin Changqing with eyes full of expectation.
