Chapter 465 : Dedicated to Aph
Chapter 465: Dedicated to Aph
“Master, you finally remembered me!”
As the light faded, the Celestial Finch, who had also not seen Janna for a long time, joyfully flapped its wings and flew onto Janna’s shoulder.
“Aph, this is a gift I specially prepared for you, take it.”
Feeling the affectionate emotions of the Celestial Finch, Janna stroked the feathers on its head while also taking out the supreme-quality Light Elemental Essence she had prepared from the 【Thorn Bracelet】.
“Thank you, Master! You are truly too good to Aph!”
Sensing the surging energy within the Elemental Essence, the Celestial Finch nearly shrieked as it expressed gratitude to Janna. With a devout expression, it received the supreme-quality Light Elemental Essence that Janna handed over and put it away.
“You’re welcome. You only need to focus on cultivating properly.”
Watching the Celestial Finch hopping about cheerfully, Janna’s gaze unconsciously softened. Then, she immediately activated the 【Soul Listening】 talent toward the Celestial Finch.
“Dang dang dang一”
“This is—”
The moment Janna activated her talent, a light and lively bell chime rang beside her ears.
Even though it had been a long time since she last heard this sound, Janna still recognized that this bell chime came from the highest snowy peak of the Celestial Mountain Range—the Sacred Bell of Aden Divine Mountain.
However, unlike the solemn and majestic Sacred Bell sound she had heard before in her spiritual form at Aden Divine Mountain, the Sacred Bell sound she now heard from the Celestial Finch’s soul seemed to carry a more cheerful tone—just like the little bird’s current mood.
“Ding dong一一”
Her fingers gently plucked, and along with the constant soul sound resonating by her ears, Janna unconsciously began to play the 【Strings of Frotenas】. Only after a long while did Janna stop.
Perhaps too absorbed, Janna unknowingly closed her eyes while playing the 【Strings of Frotenas】, fully immersed in the beautiful melody.
It was only when she heard the Celestial Finch’s soft call that Janna slowly opened her eyes and looked at it.
“What’s wrong with you?”
When Janna opened her eyes and saw the Celestial Finch, she couldn’t help but be startled.
At this moment, the Celestial Finch looked as if it was about to burst into tears. Its gaze toward Janna was filled with joy, wonder, sorrow, fascination, and other indescribably complex emotions.
“Master, the music you just played was so beautiful… it felt like a sound flowing straight out from the depths of my soul, making me lose control of myself.”
Hearing the description, Janna couldn’t help but feel amused.
After all, the music she had just played was indeed based entirely on the little bird’s soul sound, performed without any modifications.
“So, this is what having a musical talent feels like?”
Simply rendering another’s soul sound into a melody was enough to move them deeply.
“Although it feels a bit like cheating, the melody I just played really was quite a good piece.”
Sacred and solemn, yet not without lightness and vivacity, the overall style leaned toward a hymn often sung in church cathedrals.
“If made into tapes for sale, in regions that revere church culture, it might sell well—for example, the Tulanus Wizard Settlement.”
After all, the Tulanus Wizard Settlement was an area where the Tulanus Holy Church served as the power core.
During her last tour performance in Tulanus City, Janna had clearly felt the overwhelming religious culture saturating the Tulanus Wizard Settlement.
Of course, the faithful were not only in the Tulanus Wizard Settlement. Among the top powers of the Wizard Continent—on par with the 【White Tower】, 【Forest of Nature】, 【Silver Moon High Court】, and 【Measuring the Stars】—the 【Church of the Three Eyes】 was based in the secondary wizard settlement 【Phoenix City】. It extended its influence to hundreds of tertiary wizard settlements, even down to the common folk in lower city districts.
It was said that the predecessor of the Tulanus Holy Church was originally a branch of faith from the 【Church of the Three Eyes】. Later, due to differences in faith doctrines, the Tulanus Holy Church officially broke away and became independent.
However, both churches shared the same root of faith—that was the mythological creature with rebirth powers, the Phoenix. The current true ruler of 【Phoenix City】 was none other than the Tier Three Bloodline Warlock, the 【Phoenix Totem】.
“Master, c-could I listen once more to that beautiful melody?”
Seeing Janna remain silent, the Celestial Finch, still entranced by the music, finally gathered courage to voice its heartfelt request.
“Of course. I can even record this piece into a Crystal Image Sphere and give it to you.”
“Really!? Y-you are—so generous!”
Watching the little bird stammer in excitement, Janna couldn’t help but laugh.
Earlier, when she gifted it a supreme-quality Light Essence, the Celestial Finch hadn’t reacted this dramatically. But upon hearing she would give it a Crystal Image Sphere containing the music of its soul, it looked so overjoyed it nearly fainted.
“Of course it’s true. You’d better listen carefully.”
With that, Janna perfectly replayed the melody she had just memorized on the 【Strings of Frotenas】.
Meanwhile, the Celestial Finch, fully immersed in the music, tightly held a Crystal Image Sphere, recording Janna’s beautiful melody.
“The inspiration for this melody came from you. So, I’ve named it—《Dedicated to Aph》.”
“Dedicated—to me?”
Hearing Janna’s words, the Celestial Finch, who had been holding back tears, finally choked up.
“Thank you, Master… Aph truly feels so happy right now—”
Bzz—
Just as the Celestial Finch expressed gratitude to Janna, suddenly, a blessed sense of insight washed over her.

“The comprehension progress of the 【Fragment of the Law of Beauty】… actually increased?”
Janna remembered—the last time the 【Fragment of the Law of Beauty】 advanced was when she had seen the aurora phenomenon in the 【Glacier Plane】, comprehending the ‘Beauty of Nature’—
