Preparations of a Master (5)

"Music isn't merely a skill to be learned, but a language of the soul to truly master its power, you must understand the harmonies that resonate within you, and unlock the depths of emotion that lie dormant in your heart!

Instruments are basically tools to refine the music, similar to ingredients for cultivation of herbs in alchemy, just choose any instrument and as you master music you will master instruments on your own without even knowing"

Zhong Jie smiled with an amused smile on her face, Mu Chen for the first time was unarmed with any knowledge here, till now he went to train with armour of knowledge but right now he was standing on training grounds naked

'This is fucking terrifying... The field of music is fucking terrifying....'

Mu Chen gulped down his saliva and next moment took out a simple flute from his space and commented

"Then a flute will do..."

Hearing Mu Chen, Zhong Jie nodded and replaced her Gu Zheng with a flute too and commented

"Then first you need to find the path of your music, everyone has one of their own, I will guide you... You just need to find it in your own heart"

Mu Chen nodded and next Zhong Jie's lips started blowing the flute in her hands and as soon as the first note of the music came out Mu Chen was left completely petrified on his place

First of all Mu Chen has never in his wildest imaginations guessed that the tone and rhythm of any instrument can be this sweet and deep in his whole life till now

And the next thing was along with beautiful and mysterious sound, music came in a wave of the most terrifying internal pressure he has felt in his whole life

'This fucking mix of horror comedy!!!'

In an instant Mu Chen felt each cell in his body trembling by the noise of the flute and almost reflexively Mu Chen's whole body got covered with golden scriptures and it felt like soulLess empty body which can't feel pain

*Null Void Mind Cultivation _ Empty Pawn State!*

But still now the blood had started to come out from his nose and corners of mouth, but at same time with increased mental capacities Mu Chen now knew exactly what to do

'I need to grab the right rhythm, the one that matches my soul, the one that matches me...'

Mu Chen prepared himself and closed his eyes and as the noises of flute was still entering Mu Chen's consciousness, Mu Chen found himself standing in middle of nowhere but various memories and emotions he has gone through were now flashing and passing by him at rapid speed

Before Mu Chen could completely sense the emotion and touched memories, it just moved away on its own, it was frustrating but Mu Chen could also sense some sort of path opening on its own

'My path of music? I never really cared about things like art or emotions that music is based on... Isn't it just a thing for acting cool in front of others?'

Mu Chen scoffed while looking around while standing in place which was in absence of both light and darkness but slowly as time passed the melody played by Zhong Jie started to surround him and his out of nowhere on it's own suddenly a rhythm started to generate from very heart of Mu Chen as step by step the heartbeat started to act like a music drum in middle of nowhere and a new celestial pair of eyes suddenly emerged behind Mu Chen similar to Mu Chen's own pupils

'The path of music...'

As those pair of eyes in space behind Mu Chen opened the view in front of Mu Chen suddenly changed immensely as with wave of place devoid of 'everything' got filled with 'everything'

'Life, Death, Power and People, this is everything I need to get everything... But maybe in path of gaining everything I forgot the simplicity that exists in everything

From the sound made by water in waterfalls to thunders roaring in sky, from the metal noises near blacksmith to wind storms around the world, everything sounds quite sweat and funny all of sudden...'

As Mu Chen thought that suddenly a realisation flashed in his mind and his eyes started to turn a bit too deep and dense but before anything more could happen Zhong Jie stopped the music and at same time crashed all this phenomenon

"Huh?"

Mu Chen suddenly snapped back to his real consciousness and as he looked in front of him Zhong Jie seemed to be just smiling

"What happened? That's endless..."

"Hahaha! You almost went to a state of trance in music there"

Hearing Zhong Jie, Mu Chen just questioned in confusion

"What trance?"

"Oh, it's a state where one kind of loses his real consciousness and gets lost in his own inner consciousness, such a state may go on for a moment or maybe for some several eras too, anyways it's a dangerous thing"

Zhong Jie just said it casually leaving Mu Chen stunned on his place, she sniggered and next questioned

"So you found that path right?"

Mu Chen heard her and while gripping his flute Mu Chen nodded and commented

"It's quite a mystery"

"Music itself is a mystery that even Immortals still can't comprehend, that's why it's fun"

Hearing Zhong Jie, Mu Chen once again nodded with a smile and after that under her extreme guidance Mu Chen continued his training

She guided the Mu Chen for emotions not the tones of music, no matter if the emotions were positive or extremely sad and negative the only thing that mattered was the soul in the voice of flow

On surface music indeed seems beautiful and soft but as one taps deeper and and deeper into music one realises that music itself is the type of devil that feeds off emotions

It's a war between ones mind and soul forming a rhythm that keeps the balance in both, one fall can lead to destruction of any one of the sides, after learning music Mu Chen realised

Sword is the painful truth that just inflicts pain physically but not everyone accepts it

But Music is the beautiful lie that everyone accepts a much more vicious form of devil that plays with the soul and mind of a person yet loved by all
