Bringing a New Perspective to Song Choices in the Cultivation World

[Blurb One]

In one sudden transmigration, Shen Zhixian, a popular music-zone content creator, becomes an obscure new disciple of Tianyin Pavilion.

Not long after arriving, his unique talent catches the attention of the sect’s divine artifact. He’s swiftly admitted to the inner sect and becomes the pavilion master’s personal disciple.

The pavilion master says the artifact’s power can destroy the heavens and the earth, but no one has ever been able to unleash it. Shen Zhixian is the first person it has chosen of its own accord.

Looking at the “divine artifact,” which can transform into anything related to music and turn the meaning of a melody into reality, Shen Zhixian raises his hand and conjures a microphone, then performs a song called “I’ll Grab a Handful of Your Big O”…

Legend has it that on that day, every cheating disciple in Tianyin Pavilion was caught in bed, and several brawls broke out…

After that

A senior sister who’d been stuck at a bottleneck for years takes Shen Zhixian’s advice and changes her life-bound magic weapon to a suona. From then on, she becomes famous throughout the world as the bandit fairy.

An elder is obsessed with musical theory but can’t find a way to break free from the cultivation world’s endlessly repetitive musical styles. Shen Zhixian presents him with an erhu and sunglasses, thoughtfully taking him beneath a bridge to contemplate life.

A new junior brother has outstanding cultivation talent but is tone-deaf. Just as he’s wondering whether to switch sects, his senior brother teaches him the art of shouting out lyrics, opening the door to a whole new world…

Shen Zhixian pushes up his sunglasses and says solemnly, “Actually… I’m from the cursed-music section…”

[Blurb Two]

Everyone knows that Tianyin Pavilion and Tianjian Sect have been close allies for generations.

Sword cultivators specialize in offense, their swords pointing ever forward.

Music cultivators specialize in support, their melodies turning disadvantage into advantage.

The disciples of the two sects look out for one another and complement each other. Everyone in the cultivation world envies them.

…

Tao Qimu is the youngest chief disciple of Tianjian Sect. Since first setting foot on the path of cultivation, he’s been the best among his peers. His cultivation has gone smoothly, making him the very picture of a heaven-blessed prodigy.

So when his sect asks him to find a training partner at Tianyin Pavilion, Tao Qimu declares that he’ll only work with the strongest music cultivator.

The people of Tianyin Pavilion exchange glances for a long moment, then put forward their current chief disciple, Shen Zhixian.

During the partner selection in the secret realm, Tao Qimu displays his peerless strength to his future partner, using a sword technique of his own invention to slay a Golden Core demonic beast above his cultivation level in a fluid series of movements.

Shen Zhixian takes one look and silently pulls out a… suona.

A funeral march resounds through the sky. The recently deceased demonic beast comes back to life on the spot and performs a breakdance.

Tao Qimu slowly forms a question mark: ?

2. The songs are chosen to suit the plot. The author has the utmost respect for all music.
