Yuan took a moment to ponder what songs he wanted to play.
"Senior Song, I can play multiple songs, right?"
"Of course! You can play as many songs as you'd like," she immediately responded.
Yuan nodded and took a seat on the platform before retrieving his Soul Ensnaring Zither.
A couple of disciples there recognized the Soul Ensnaring Zither, as they'd tried to play it before.
"Is that the real Soul Ensnaring Zither?"
"The one that used to be owned by the Zither Goddess?"
"It's probably just a replica, right?"
"No, I heard that someone had managed to obtain it after successfully playing it."
As the disciples murmured to each other, Yuan pulled on the string of the zither and began his first of many songs that would be played on that day.
When the disciples heard the music note, they immediately closed their mouths and focused on Yuan, who was calmly sitting on the platform.
The first song that Yuan decided to play was something Fei Yuyan had taught him.
The second song was something from his own world.
The third and fourth song was something he learned from the ninth floor of the Music Pagoda.
The fifth and sixth song was also from the Music Pagoda, and it was on the tenth floor.
And lastly, Yuan decided to play God Descends from Heaven for his seventh and final song.
Yuan's performance that was played with barely any breaks in-between left the disciples there breathless. If he didn't take a few moments between each song, the audience would have collapsed from forgetting how to breathe.
Furthermore, if one looked at the crowd closely, one would notice many disciples sitting down in the lotus position, appearing to be cultivating, as they had received slight enlightenment from Yuan's performance.
"Is this good enough?" Yuan asked Song Ling'er after playing his last song, snapping her out of her daze.
"Y-Yes. That was more than good enough," she said.
"That's great." Yuan stood up and stored the Soul Ensnaring Zither back into his storage ring.
"Are you leaving now?" Song Ling'er asked him.
"Yes," he nodded.
As much as he wanted to look around the Heavenly Melody Academy a little longer, he didn't want to delay his ascension to the next heaven any longer.
"If you ever get the chance to visit again, our doors will always be open for you." Song Ling'er said to him.
"Thank you. I will definitely visit if I ever return to the Lower Heavens."
"Where to now, Young Master?" Feng Yuxiang asked him.
"Let's give the Dragon Essence Temple a visit before we leave, not to mention I have someone to pick up from that place," Yuan said.
After saying their goodbyes to Song Ling'er, Yuan and the others began making their way to the Dragon Essence Temple.
"S-Sect Master! Who was that young man?!"
