Seven String Sea Suppressing Zither

Seven String Suppressing Sea Zither , also called the Heptagonal Zither, is Zi Yan's zither and Illusive Music Immortal Palace's divine item. Also see South Sea Zither.
The Music Master says it can be used to protect people. It can be used to play music to soothe soul, and it can also be used as a weapon in combat. Shen Bijun says that it can be used to kill people.
== Usage ==
The twang of a zither rang out, and a streak of light came from within the carriage. It looked like an ordinary piece of string as it swung through the air and at the Steel Coiling Dragon Staff. The Steel Coiling Dragon Staff was blown into the distance, while the elder's arms exploded into bloody mist. For a moment, everyone was deathly silent.
== Properties ==
=== Zi Yan vs. Shen Bijun styles ===
Long Chen had heard Zi Yan play the zither several times now. Her music was always boundlessly majestic but gentle like water, without any trace of the mundane world.
However, this zither music, while it came from the Seven String Sea Suppressing Zither, was entirely different. It lacked a bit of gentility and instead had a sharpness to it, as well as a kind of faint decisiveness. Its style was completely different from Zi Yan's.
As this woman played, the music flowed out like water falling from a high mountain. The music began to grow in tempo. It was like it had reached its climax. In the blink of an eye, her fingers plucked dozens of strings. However, the music never grew chaotic. Each sound was still completely clear.
It grew louder and louder, like a Great Peng soaring into the sky, spreading its wings and soaring beyond the horizon.
In the end, she suddenly pressed down the zither with both hands, and the music came to an abrupt stop. The image of the Great Peng in everyone's minds shattered, as if it had fallen. The music had stopped, but it still seemed to echo in their ears. That feeling deeply shocked everyone.
When the woman stopped, a tall man in the crowd clapped and praised, "Fairy Bijun's divine technique is truly admirable. I, Di Xin, have never heard such beautiful zither music. It was like being between the mountains and the clouds. This kind of music can only exist above the heavens. As expected, the Illusive Music Immortal Palace's fame is not for nothing."
=== Mental domain ===
"Falling in love with the Phoenix Dance ends in sorrow. Hopefully in the next life, the phoenix can dance with the dragon beneath the moonlight..."
Her sorrowful song contained all her love and grief. Just hearing it made others sad. The women in particular felt sympathetic and even began to feel intense hostility toward Long Chen, viewing him as having a heart of stone that had let down Shen Bijun's love.
Even the men were feeling more and more pity for Shen Bijun. Some of them even had a desire to protect her even if it cost them their lives.
Her zither music contains powerful Spiritual Strength. She's doing it all on purpose.
Long Chen closed his eyes to listen to the music closely. Cloud patiently guarded his side. The song was one of sorrow, but Cloud wasn't affected at all because she had no idea about things like romance.
Long Chen's body shook slightly, and his mind became chaotic. Following that, he found that his surroundings were changing. He appeared in a world of birdsong and flowers. Upon a carpet of emerald grass, Shen Bijun was looking coldly at him with the Seven String Sea Suppressing Zither in her hand.
"This place is the mental domain of the Seven String Sea Suppressing Zither. Your Yuan Spirit has already been drawn in." Shen Bijun was completely different from her previous self who had been so heartbroken.
Currently, Long Chen was in his Yuan Spirit state. Without him even being aware of it, Shen Bijun had managed to connect to his Yuan Spirit and pull him into her trap.
Long Chen gave her a thumbs-up. To be able to draw his Yuan Spirit into the Sea Suppressing Zither's domain without anyone being the wiser was truly worthy of admiration.
In the mental domain of the Sea Suppressing Zither, Shen Bijun was the ruler and decider of who lives and dies.
=== Resistance ===
Long Chen had been relying on his own power to block her divine item, and he was only able to barely block it. However, now that Shen Bijun was using her full power, combining her power with the Seven String Sea Suppressing Zither, it was taxing for Long Chen to fight without Evilmoon's help.
If the rest of the world learned that he was able to use his own power to resist a divine item, people's jaws would definitely drop. That kind of power was something only Netherpassage experts could possess.
== Pentatonic Breaks the Void ==
The Seven String Sea Suppressing Zither had seven strings, but five of those strings represented the pentatonic scale, while the other two represented heaven and earth. Rumor was that the Seven String Sea Suppressing Zither's origin was extremely shocking. Seven strings to suppress the sea didn't refer to a sea of water, but a sea of blood.
Shen Bijun's words from before were correct. The Seven String Sea Suppressing Zither was a weapon for slaughter. The reason she could win its approval was because she was vicious enough.
Shen Bijun's attacks had always been made by plucking one string at a time. Activating two would cause its power to double.
As for activating five at once, it wasn't five times the power. It was doubling its power five times. That was absolutely terrifying.
Legend had it that when the Seven String Sea Suppressing Zither's seven strings rang at once, everything within heaven and earth would die. This time, Shen Bijun had activated five at once, and her fingers immediately split open. She coughed up a mouthful of blood and turned pale as paper.
However, there was a vicious light in her eyes. Although she had paid a price, she had activated the music of annihilation. It was like thunder, shaking the world. A terrifying sound wave crashed toward the Daynight Furnace.
== Story ==
Within the Illusive Music Immortal Palace, the palace master's expression was heavy. In front of her was the Seven String Sea Suppressing Zither. There was a thumb-sized black scar on it now.
That was the result of when Long Chen had used divine lightning to send it flying. The Seven String Sea Suppressing Zither had been unable to protect Shen Bijun, so it had returned to the Illusive Music Immortal Palace once Shen Bijun was killed.
However, even after all this time, the black mark on it had yet to fully recover. The power of that thunderforce had harmed its core.
=== Advancement ===
“You should be careful. The power of her Seven String Sea Suppressing Zither had increased to a new level. It seems part of its seal has been broken,” warned Evilmoon.
In truth, there was no need for Evilmoon’s warning. Long Chen also sensed that Zi Yan was different from before. She possessed something on her that gave him a feeling of great danger.
=== Approval ===
Zi Yan lightly pressed a hand against the air. It was like a zither was present in the air, and the world was split open, forming a narrow channel for her.
In front of everyone’s dumbfounded gazes, Zi Yan gracefully walked into that narrow channel and vanished from sight.
When she vanished, the split-open world returned to normal as if nothing had happened. However, that sight deeply shook people’s minds.
“My word, fairy Zi Yan has gained the approval of the Seven String Sea Suppressing Zither! She can communicate with the world spiritually, using the very heavens as her strings,” exclaimed a Netherpassage expert. Was she really a Soul Transformation disciple? This kind of power was enough to annihilate Netherpassage experts.
