If they weren't under some sort of enchantment or coercion, would any musician do something so outrageous?
So, almost immediately, everyone started asking musicians across the land, trying to find out what was really going on.
But the more they asked, the more confused they became.
Facing inquiries from all sides, countless musicians declared on the spot... What enchantment? What coercion...
It's the Grand Sky Sect giving us an opportunity!
The first reaction from the major powers to this answer was, have these musicians gone mad?
Not only that, but now it's heard that many famous musicians who weren't invited have already started heading to the Grand Sky Sect of their own accord.
In just a few days, countless musicians gathered outside the Grand Sky Sect.
At first, the disciples guarding the mountain gate thought these musicians were crazy. How dare they block the gate of the Grand Sky Sect?
But after asking around, they realized they were truly crazy.What the heck? Why aren't you on the invitation list? You're not satisfied?
These musicians immediately expressed their dissatisfaction, saying, "Is my fame lacking? Is my skill lacking? I refuse to accept that I'm not on the invitation list."
What? You say those invited musicians paid for their performances at the Grand Sky Sect?
What? You think we can't afford it?
Not only can we afford it, but we're even willing to pay double or triple... just to get a chance from the Grand Sky Sect...
Faced with so many crazy musicians, Lu Chengqing had no choice but to come out and explain personally.
"It's not that your skills are inferior, nor that your fame is lacking, but mainly because of special requirements... special requirements..."
Although Lu Chengqing repeatedly emphasized it was due to special requirements, the musicians weren't having it. What special requirements? Tell us, if we can't meet them, we'll leave immediately. But if there are no special requirements, even if the Grand Sky Sect is the number one sect in the world, they owe us an explanation.
If it were any other time, Lu Chengqing would have definitely ordered these musicians to be driven away.
But the situation is different now... First, there are too many musicians, and secondly, they're all shouting to pay. Who would drive away people who want to pay?
After half a day of fruitless persuasion, Lu Chengqing gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, coming up with a plan, but this plan needed the approval of the Great Elder.
So Lu Chengqing immediately went to the Great Elder.
"Use the Grand Sky Mirror? Lu Chengqing, are you crazy? Do you know the Grand Sky Mirror is one of our Grand Sky Sect's treasures? You can't just use it as you please."
The Great Elder immediately refused Lu Chengqing's request. What a joke?
Treasures like the Grand Sky Mirror can't be used casually.
Even if you're from the Spirit Crane Palace and the top confidant of Ma Liang, who is Senior Brother Xinghe's top confidant, using the Grand Sky Mirror is a bit too outrageous.
Do you think you're Xinghe? Besides Xinghe, even regular elders find it hard to use the Grand Sky Mirror.
Moreover, do you know how much it costs to use the Grand Sky Mirror once?
Only Xinghe has the means to ensure our sect profits even when using the Grand Sky Mirror so recklessly.
So the Great Elder's stance was clear: absolutely no way to use the Grand Sky Mirror.
But this thought only lasted five minutes. Five minutes later, after Lu Chengqing explained his idea, the Great Elder nodded on the spot, saying, "Chengqing, your idea is excellent. Don't worry about the Grand Sky Mirror; I'll explain it to the Sect Master, and it can be used!"
What? You ask why the Great Elder only held out for five minutes?
Because Lu Chengqing offered too much...
Faced with so many musicians wanting a chance, Lu Chengqing was initially troubled, but soon he grasped the key point.
Senior Brother Xinghe's plan to broadcast the entire Millennium Grand Festival using the Grand Sky Mirror, although costly, gave Lu Chengqing a brand new idea.
The Grand Sky Mirror isn't just for broadcasting the Millennium Grand Festival. If conditions allow, it can be used to broadcast other things too...
Why are these musicians so crazy?
It all boils down to fame and fortune.
For musicians, enough fame naturally brings benefits.
Having the opportunity to showcase themselves at the Millennium Grand Festival, the first of its kind on the Blazing Sun Continent, is not about money.
It's a chance for the whole world to recognize them.
If they can become famous worldwide, then wherever this musician goes in the future, who wouldn't call them a master?
But with the Grand Sky Mirror in hand, which is rarely used, isn't it a waste to just let it sit?
Musicians want to become famous, but how many musicians are there at the Millennium Grand Festival?
How many in the world are not yet famous but have incredible skills?
So Lu Chengqing's idea is simple... After the Millennium Grand Festival, we can continue using the Grand Sky Mirror to broadcast, creating a "Voice of the Grand Sky," giving all musicians who want to showcase themselves a chance.
As for the cost of the Grand Sky Mirror, Lu Chengqing figured it out.
First, musicians have to pay to perform, right... The money they provide covers part of the cost, and the rest can be covered by other major powers.
They say even good wine fears a deep alley. How many good things in this world go unnoticed? How many sects and powers want to be known but struggle to promote themselves?
So, with the Grand Sky Mirror, we can help you with promotion.
Isn't it normal for you to pay a little for our help in promoting you?
So, in this way, doesn't the cost of the Grand Sky Mirror have a solution?
Our Southern Branch can even use the Grand Sky Mirror to make a profit for the sect.
The Great Elder was stunned after hearing this and immediately sent someone to find Xinghe for consultation.
These past few days, Chu Xinghe was already troubled by the musicians paying to perform... What kind of brains do Ma Liang and Lu Chengqing have to come up with such an idea?
Do you have any humanity left?
Musicians already have it tough enough, and now you're doing this?
But Chu Xinghe understood that at this point, there's no turning back.
Before he could recover from the musicians' woes, Senior Brother Shen Chun dragged him to the Great Elder from out of nowhere.
As soon as he saw Lu Chengqing, Chu Xinghe knew nothing good was coming...
And he was right.
Listen to what Lu Chengqing is saying, does it even sound human?
Continue using the Grand Sky Mirror for live broadcasts?
And create something called "Voice of the Grand Sky"... Are you trying to make an idol competition here?
If the talent show idea was already outrageous to Chu Xinghe, then Lu Chengqing's plan to help others with promotion was even more absurd, to the point of absurdity opening the door to absurdity, reaching a whole new level.
Lu Chengqing, are you sure you're not a time traveler?
You're even talking about advertisements? Is that polite?
But hearing Senior Brother Xinghe's words, Lu Chengqing was overjoyed.
Advertisements? Public announcements!
Senior Brother Xinghe, your use of the word advertisement is brilliant. From now on, we'll call it advertising!
The Great Elder looked at Chu Xinghe's calm demeanor and knew there was no problem, so he waved his hand and said, "Lu Chengqing, don't worry. I'll explain this to the Sect Master. The Grand Sky Mirror can be temporarily used by your Southern Branch."
Of course, whether the Southern Branch can use it long-term depends on whether you can achieve everything you mentioned with the Grand Sky Mirror.
If it can't make a profit for the sect, then the Southern Branch's plan will be canceled. But if it can make a profit, then the Grand Sky Mirror can be used by you long-term.
Lu Chengqing was moved to tears on the spot.
He first thanked the Great Elder for his support, then thanked Senior Brother Xinghe for giving their Southern Branch ideas.
Lu Chengqing said that although the Southern Branch used to organize performances, they were nothing compared to what Senior Brother Xinghe suggested.
No matter how good the music at Grand Sky Tower is, or how great the programs are, how many people can actually see them?
But now it's completely different. If we control the Grand Sky Mirror, we can broadcast to the entire Blazing Sun Continent.
In other words, from this moment on, our Southern Branch is the sole giant in the entertainment industry.
The Blazing Sun Continent is practically an entertainment desert.
Besides high-class brothels and listening to music, what else is there for entertainment?
Most people don't even know what entertainment is, right?
But now, with the Grand Sky Mirror, we can let the whole world see various live broadcasts. No matter where you are, you can see the best musicians and actors performing for you. Isn't this entertainment exciting?
In the past, it was nearly impossible for a big shot to find a closed-door disciple, even if the word got out, not everyone would know.
But now, with the Grand Sky Mirror, a big shot can broadcast their requirements, and the whole world will know in an instant.
No matter where the disciple you need is, they can come immediately.
Not just disciples, the Grand Sky Mirror can be used for all sorts of things. Lu Chengqing believes that with the only Grand Sky Mirror in our hands, how can we lose?
With the Great Elder's approval, Lu Chengqing immediately went to the Grand Sky Sect's mountain gate to announce the news of the "Voice of the Grand Sky" to the musicians. The musicians weren't fools; they not only knelt to thank Lu Chengqing but also a large number of them paid the registration fee for the next "Voice of the Grand Sky" on the spot.
Goodness, watching countless Spirit Stones being stored into the Space Ring, Lu Chengqing was full of vigor, knowing that from this moment on, his fate had changed.
He was going to personally build an entertainment empire!
But amid his excitement, Lu Chengqing's admiration for Senior Brother Xinghe reached a new height because he knew that all of this was thanks to Senior Brother Xinghe... Without Senior Brother Xinghe's idea for the Grand Sky Mirror, he could never have reached this height in his lifetime...
From this moment on, what Star Moon Tower, what number one musician in the world, in the entertainment world, I, Lu Chengqing, am the only god, turning clouds with a flip of the hand and rain with another!
What Shi Biao, what Sima Bian... still want to compete with me, Lu Chengqing, for this year's vice president?
Wishful thinking!
