Chapter 1872 The Dao Heart is Flawed [6,200 words]
After crossing the huge sea of abyss and purgatory, Chen Nianzhi suddenly felt that the spiritual platform was empty, and the invisible shackles in his heart disappeared.
He breathed a sigh of relief slowly and said with a smile: "The ambition I made in the past has been completed. The shackles in my heart have been released. It's time to take that step."
Chen Nianzhi whispered in his heart, but smiled in an instant.
At this moment, Chen Nianzhi decided to attack the Daoxin Tianguan and break through the realm of the Six Tribulations Ancient Immortal.
If you want to break through the Dao Heart Heaven Pass, you need to face the Avenue of Chaos head-on and survive the Tribulation of Three Questions on that Avenue. If there is even the slightest flaw, the breakthrough may fail.
At this moment, Chen Nianzhi slowly lowered his eyes, and his soul interacted with the Avenue of Chaos, opening the Dao Heart Heaven Pass Tribulation.
"Boom!"
Following Chen Nianzhi's impact, a majestic voice came over.
"Are you ashamed of God in your life?"
Chen Nianzhi was shocked, and his past emerged deep in his heart. Bits and pieces of his past days in Qingcang Realm, and his experiences after setting foot in the Immortal Realm were revealed one by one.
After a moment, he said firmly: "I am worthy of God."
Yes, he was born in the Ziyin Realm. In this life, he defeated the evil calamity. After ascending to heaven, he returned to his hometown three times in a row. He was worthy of his mortal homeland.
After his ascension, he owed Qingcang Immortal Realm a lot of karma, but he killed Emperor Ming, Ancient Demon Xuanheng, and Ancestor Wangui, and stopped their plan to sacrifice Qingcang Immortal Realm.
He also crossed over to the Demonic Demon of the Sea of Purgatory in the Nether Abyss, which was enough to repay the cause and effect, and he was worthy of the immortal realm. Since he was worthy of the mortal world and the immortal realm, he was naturally worthy of heaven.
"Click——"
The avenue roared, and after a violent tremor, an invisible shackle cracked.
In an instant, the majestic sound came again.
"In this life, are you ashamed of yourself?"
Chen Nianzhi was silent. He returned to the old friends he had come along the way in this life.
When he was a child, his father was covered in blood and traveled a hundred thousand miles to bring him back to Qingyuan Mountain. After that, he set foot on the world of immortality and encountered all kinds of people and things that made him fall into silence.
After a long time, he said: "In this life, I have a clear conscience towards the people close to me."
"But I have killed demons, humans, and gods. Among the thousands of enemies I have encountered, there must have been innocent people who died in vain because of me."
"Therefore, regarding my life, I have done wrong things and done right things. I am by no means a perfect person."
"However, I may have compassion for these people who died in vain, but I have no regrets in my heart."
The voice of the avenue had no emotion and said, "Since they died in vain because of you, why do you feel no guilt?"
Chen Nianzhi looked pitiful, his whole body was surrounded by immortal energy, and he made a misty voice.
"The Buddha said that a bowl of water contains eighty-four thousand insects."
"With one breath, a mortal can swallow up an unknown number of weak lives. In a lifetime, intentionally or unintentionally, the amount of killings caused can be said to be as many as the sands of the Ganges."
"A monk practices cultivation throughout his life, absorbs the treasures of heaven and earth, and refines the essence of heaven and earth into his body. Isn't he a person who kills evil and commits crimes to the heavens?"
"I have been cultivating so far and have transcended the world of mortals. If I had been guilty of everything and had separated myself from the mortal world, how could I have cultivated to the level I am now?"
Speaking of this, his voice paused slightly, and his voice became increasingly distant.
"The great road of heaven and earth circulates without slackening."
"In this mortal world, time spreads like weeds. In twenty years, the wasteland can change without rest."
"All things grow in it, are born, prosper, weaken, turn into mud, and all things ecologically cycle. This is the law of all things."
The voice of the Great Dao was supreme and selfless, and said ruthlessly: "Everyone is born in heaven and earth, and dies in heaven and earth, and everything repeats itself in cycles."
"But you have transcended the world of mortals, and you are destined to bear the burden of these evil deeds."
Chen Nianzhi smiled slightly, his Taoist heart as solid as a rock, and said unmoved: "I can bear the burden of these crimes."
No more words about the question of the great road. The second question of the great road failed to shake Chen Nianzhi's Taoist heart. After a crisp click sound, the second shackles on Chen Nianzhi's Taoist heart were broken.
Immediately afterwards, the voice of the great avenue asked again: "Are you ashamed of your heart in this life?"
When Chen Nianzhi heard this, he kept reviewing himself in his mind, and finally fell into silence.
In his life, he was not ashamed of man and God, but did he ever feel guilty in his heart?
He recalled the past events of his life, thinking of Jiang Linglong, Zi Qingji, Qu Nishang, Yaya, and Yan Ziji. The only place he felt guilty about in his life was facing Jiang Linglong.
To be fair, when what happened to Yaya happened, he felt guilty and resentful after he woke up.
Over the years, he and Jiang Linglong had a tacit agreement not to talk about these matters.
But he knew in his heart that for Jiang Linglong, this might be a thorn in her heart, but the relationship between the two of them over the years, coupled with the relationship between the five sisters, made her tolerate these things.
For Chen Nianzhi, this is the most difficult past to hide in his heart.
Recalling some of his Taoist companions, Yaya discovered that Qingji was the reincarnation of Huaixu due to an accident. If it can be explained, Qu Nishang and Yan Ziji were more caused by their inner greed.
Their yearning for beautiful things, their active favor, and Jiang Linglong's lack of interference brought them together in the end.
"Luxury, greed, temptation, I have never controlled my original intention."
Chen Nianzhi whispered slowly, facing the third question of the avenue, he couldn't help but become slightly silent.
He couldn't answer, because this was indeed a flaw in his Taoist heart. If he insisted on saying that he had a clear conscience, it would leave a gap in his heart.
And if he doesn't answer this question directly, then he won't be able to get through this heart-to-heaven barrier at all.
This was a dilemma, but after Chen Nianzhi was silent for a moment, he still strengthened his determination because he had other choices.
But I saw him standing up, looking at the sky with burning eyes, and then said: "I have a clear conscience!"
"No, you have a flawed heart."
The sound of the great avenue echoed, and the world fell into darkness, as if a divine punishment was coming to the world.
But at this moment, Chen Nianzhi mobilized his unparalleled divine power, and a true spiritual light penetrated the sky, breaking the last shackles in his heart.
The avenue was violently churning, and in the ruthless will, he sighed slightly and said: "You did it."
"Lust, greed, and temptation are all fundamental to human nature."
Chen Nianzhi spoke slowly and said with firm eyes: "If a person is at the same time not ashamed of his heart, not ashamed of others, and not ashamed of God, then he is a supremely selfless person. Such a person has no emotions and is as ruthless and indifferent as the Great Dao."
"I want to be the master in charge of the avenue, not the slave and puppet of the avenue."
Chaos Avenue trembled slightly, did not speak again, but slowly disappeared into the invisible.
At the same time, Chen Nianzhi slowly closed his eyes, but saw that in his Taoist heart, a subtle flaw slowly closed, turning into a Taoist heart with the light of humanity.
This is a Taoist heart, and it is also a Taoist heart with human nature.
It turns out that the Dao Heart Heaven Barrier never requires a flawless Dao Heart. As long as you firmly believe in your own beliefs, and as long as there are no major causes and effects that have not been resolved, then even a crazy demon cultivator can break this Heaven Barrier.
"The Heavenly Pass in the Heart of Dao has finally been broken through."
Chen Nianzhi whispered slowly, sensing his own cultivation and magic power, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After this breakthrough, he has broken through the six heavenly barriers of physical body, Dao, magic, Yuan Shen, Dao heart, and supernatural power, and his own strength has improved a lot.
Although his direct combat power has not increased much, his mana has once again increased by 30%, and his combat endurance has also increased a lot.
"The six heavenly gates have been broken through. Next, I should prepare for going to the Immortal Xu Ancient Continent."
Chen Nianzhi whispered in his heart, and then took a step back to Guixu Cave Heaven.
At this time, Jiang Linglong and others were still in seclusion at the Source of Refining Dao, and the entire Guixu Cave was much quieter than usual.
Chen Nianzhi rarely had free time, so he began to count his harvest. After counting the treasures in his hands, he finally found a piece of divine iron from the family treasury.
"Xuanming Immortal Iron."
Looking at this piece of magical iron, Chen Nianzhi was slightly startled, and immediately showed a hint of surprise.
This piece of Xuanming Immortal Iron is a great treasure of the Great Luo. Its material is filled with the most yin and cold atmosphere, and it is a rare treasure of the Great Luo with the Yin attribute.
Thinking of the power of this piece of immortal iron, Chen Nianzhi took out a broken ancient mirror from his sleeve and couldn't help but smile.
"It seems that there is hope for repairing this 'Xuantian Ancient Mirror'."
This incomplete ancient mirror was obtained by Chen Nianzhi from the Chaos Purple Phoenix Nest.
This object is called Xuantian Ancient Mirror. It can reflect the attacks of others. It is an extremely powerful defensive innate spiritual treasure. It is the treasure of the enlightenment of an ancient immortal of the Eight Tribulations in the past.
Later, for unknown reasons, the Eight Tribulations Ancient Immortal fell into chaos, and this treasure was torn into pieces by a powerful enemy, and finally fell into the hands of the Ziji Ancient Phoenix.
Unfortunately, Ziji Ancient Phoenix was not good at refining weapons, so the treasure was never repaired and eventually fell into Chen Nianzhi's hands.
This Xuantian Ancient Mirror is an innate spiritual treasure with Yin attributes, and it is just right to use this Xuanming Immortal Iron to repair it.
With Chen Nianzhi's current strength, he may not be very confident if he is asked to refine an innate spirit treasure, but if he is asked to repair a damaged innate spirit treasure, the difficulty will be greatly reduced.
But after Chen Nianzhi spit out a stream of innate Hongmeng Purple Qi and used it as bait to refine the artifact spirit of the Xuantian Ancient Mirror, he began to repair the Xuantian Ancient Mirror.
He refined the Xuanming Immortal Iron with pure Yang Heavenly Fire, and combined with the Xuantian Ancient Mirror to continuously devour the piece of divine iron, it only took 30,000 years to completely repair it.
"Buzz——"
After the Xuantian Ancient Mirror was repaired, it emitted a blazing divine light, causing the entire Qingcang Immortal Domain to stir and alarmed countless immortals who were in seclusion.
Jiang Linglong was also awakened. She immediately came to Chen Nianzhi and asked, "What are you doing?"
"The Xuantian Ancient Mirror has been repaired. It seems that we will be more confident this time when we go to the Xianxu Ancient Continent."
As Chen Nianzhi said this, he handed the Xuantian Ancient Mirror to Jiang Linglong and said, "I will send this object to you for practice."
Jiang Linglong took the Xuantian Ancient Mirror and was still a little excited in her heart. Needless to say, how precious the innate spiritual treasure is, she never thought that she would have one in her hands so early.
Thinking of this, she hugged Chen Nianzhi and came to the depths of the cave.
After some lingering, Jiang Linglong lay on his chest, and then said: "With this Xuantian Ancient Mirror, I can also accompany you to the Ancient Continent of Xianxu."
Chen Nianzhi pondered for a moment, then said: "The Ancient Land of Immortal Xu is too dangerous, I would be a little worried if you go there."
"no need to worry."
Jiang Linglong shook her head, took his hand and said: "This time, we will do our best to help you realize Daluo. This is what we have decided a long time ago."
Chen Nianzhi fell silent, took her hand and said: "Not long ago, I broke through the Dao Heart Heavenly Pass, and there was a calamity about you."
He spoke eloquently and talked about the relationship between Tao Xin and Tian Guan.
After Jiang Linglong listened, she sighed and said, "Well, since the things of the past have happened, they cannot be changed."
"We are all extraordinary people. This life will be very long, perhaps until eternity. Temporary happiness and joy are nothing. Being with us forever is the most precious thing."
"Besides, Qing Ji and Zi Ji are both my sisters, and I hope to continue walking with them. If they didn't become your Taoist companions, I wouldn't be able to support them to where they are now."
When Chen Nianzhi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he knew in his heart that Jiang Linglong could be so open-minded because of her deep relationship with him. In addition, Chen Nianzhi's character was not a weak one. Otherwise, with her fierce temperament, how could she tolerate others sharing her man?
Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi hugged her and said with a smile: "Although saying it may hurt their feelings, you and I have shared life and death over the years. You should understand that you are always the most unique."
"Scumbag."
Jiang Linglong spat softly, but there was still a smile in her eyes.
After being affectionate with Jiang Linglong for a long time, Chen Nianzhi checked Jiang Linglong's cultivation and found that Jiang Linglong's cultivation had made great progress.
Over the years, Jiang Linglong has refined five sources of Tao, and her own strength has improved by leaps and bounds. Now she has broken the five heavenly barriers of physical body, Tao, mana, soul, and supernatural power.
Among the five great heavenly gates, the physical heavenly gate has reached the tenth limit, and the magic power heavenly gate and the soul heavenly gate have both reached the eleventh limit with the blessing of the pure yin divine thunder of the five elements.
Naturally, there is no need to say more about the magical power of Tianguan. Although the Great Five Elements Pure Yin Divine Thunder is not a true spiritual power, it has already reached the eleventh limit.
The newly completed Dao Tianguan is even more astonishing. She has already completed the Five Elements Pure Yin Dao. These Dao not only point directly to the eleventh realm, but are not far from the twelve realms.
Of course, the five great avenues Jiang Linglong practiced were slightly weaker than the five great avenues practiced by Chen Nianzhi, so it was much easier to comprehend, and it was also less difficult to cultivate the Five Elements Pure Yin Avenue. Therefore, he completed the five great avenues earlier than Chen Nianzhi.
Plant the road.
Chen Nianzhi knew clearly that Jiang Linglong chose the easier 'Five Elements Pure Yin Avenue' in order to avoid competing with herself. Otherwise, with her qualifications, she could have tried to practice the Chaos Avenue.
Of course, perhaps because of possessing the Taiyin Immortal Body, Jiang Linglong's understanding of the Yin-attribute avenues and magical powers is far ten times or a hundred times higher than other attributes' magical powers, and even surpasses Chen Nianzhi's understanding in this aspect.
If it were the Five Elements Pure Yang Avenue, I'm afraid Jiang Linglong wouldn't be able to complete it in such a short period of time.
"The five great heavenly gates, the foundation of the four paths and eleven limits."
"Your foundation and heritage are no longer weaker than those of the Eight Tribulations Ancient Immortal. As long as you refine this Xuantian Ancient Mirror, you will not be afraid of even the Eight Tribulations Ancient Immortal."
Thinking of Jiang Linglong's fighting power, Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but said with joy.
Jiang Linglong nodded and said with a smile: "Coupled with the Little Zhoutian Taiyi Golden Bamboo Sword Formation, I am afraid that ordinary Eight Tribulations Ancient Immortals may not be able to defeat me."
"The only problem is that the magic power is still a bit weak, and it should not be as powerful as those of the Eight Tribulations Ancient Immortals."
Speaking of this, she said with a smile: "By the way, according to your description today, I am somewhat sure about breaking through the Dao Heart Heaven Pass. During this time, I will also attack the Six Tribulations Ancient Immortal Realm."
Chen Nianzhi felt a little warm in his heart when he heard this. He understood that Jiang Linglong had completely let go of her grudge, or that the Taoist couple's matter would no longer be a worry in her heart.
Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi took her hand and said: "Don't worry, while there is still time, I will accompany you to understand the way of yin and yang."
"..."
Time flies like water, time flies by, and time is fleeting.
In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years have passed again, and the day is about to open for the Immortal Xu Ancient Continent.
On this day, everyone from the Chen Clan's Immortal Clan came out of seclusion and came to Ziye Palace together to hold a meeting.
This meeting was of great importance. All the ancient ancestors and high-level immortals of the Chen family arrived in person, and they all showed extremely solemn expressions.
Chen Nianzhi sat in the center of the hall, looking at the immortals in the hall, and couldn't help but nodded slightly.
After seven or eight thousand years of seclusion, everyone has digested a lot of the gains from this battle, and their cultivation has almost improved by leaps and bounds.
Almost all of the sixteen ancient immortals of the Chen Clan's Immortal Clan have once again broken one or two heavenly barriers, and have broken at least one ten-limit heavenly barrier. Their average cultivation level has reached the level of the Four Tribulations Ancient Immortals.
.
In terms of combat power, with the Taiyi Golden Bamboo Sword Formation, they cannot be said to be comparable to the Seven Tribulations Ancient Immortals, but they can easily deal with the Six Tribulations Ancient Immortals.
Among them, Qu Nishang has improved the most. She has broken through the seventh level of heaven and refined the innate spiritual treasure "Nine-Colored Fairy Beads" given to her by the Xianbei tribe. Her cultivation level has been upgraded to the realm of the Eight Tribulations Ancient Immortal.
In addition, Qing Ji's cultivation has also advanced further, reaching the level of the Seven Tribulations Ancient Immortal.
Among the others, Qing Ji and Chen Xianchang have already reached the level of the Seven Tribulations Ancient Immortal in terms of combat power.
Chen Nianchuan and Chen Xianzhu have not yet digested the source of the Tao of the two Eight Tribulations Ancient Immortals. Once digested, they will soon have the Seven Tribulations Ancient Immortals' fighting power. Among them, Chen Nianchuan has an innate magic treasure in hand, and he may break through the Eight Tribulations Ancient Immortals.
There are no bottlenecks.
Of course, Chen Nianchuan's current level is too low, and it may take a long time to fully digest the harvest.
"The combat power of two ancient immortals of eight tribulations, and the combat power of three ancient immortals of seven tribulations."
Chen Nianzhi whispered slowly, feeling slightly certain in his heart.
This combat power, combined with that of himself and Ao Hong, is already a very strong force.
Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi said: "Three thousand years later, the Immortal Xu Ancient Continent is about to open. I am planning to go to the Immortal Xu Ancient Continent to compete for the opportunity of Daluo. This time I may need to bring a few people with me."
Everyone was surprised and happy when they heard this. Then Chen Xianye immediately said: "Uncle, what can you say? We will fight with you as a whole clan. Even if we lose everything, we will let you realize Daluo."
"Yes, using the power of teaching to protect the Daluo Golden Immortal is what should be done."
After everyone heard this, they all nodded and said excitedly.
But Chen Nianzhi waved his hand, suppressed everyone's words, and said with a solemn expression: "This time is no better than before. As far as I know, this calamity is related to the opportunity left by Immortal Ziyin, so the Eight Tribulations Ancient Immortal who entered the calamity
The quantity far exceeds other calamities."
"When the calamity of calamity usually breaks out and the ancient immortals of the eight calamities go to the ancient land of Immortal Ruins to prove their ways, they will use the power of the teachings and bring tens of thousands of ancient immortals to help."
"But this time, the number of Eight Tribulations Ancient Immortals participating in the war is more than ten times that of previous years. I think the strong men below the Ancient Immortals will die in vain if they participate. Even the Ancient Immortals below Seven Tribulations will die without burial."
Chen Nianzhi spoke slowly, with a solemn look in his eyes.
When everyone in the Chen Clan's Immortal Clan saw this, their expressions changed slightly.
Chen Qiyuan took a deep breath, and then asked: "According to your plan, which of us will go?"
Chen Nianzhi pondered slightly and said after a moment: "Linglong and Nishang will follow me. As for those who are under seven calamities, they will stay in the Qingcang Immortal Realm to practice hard."
"Father, let me go with you."
Chen Xianchang spoke with a decisive look on his face: "There are many opportunities in the Ancient Immortal Xu Continent. As long as I break through the Seven Tribulations Ancient Immortal and cooperate with the Canghai Divine Pearl, I should be able to help you."
Qing Ji also grabbed him at the right time and said with a solemn expression: "I should be able to help you."
Chen Nianzhi pondered for a moment, and said after a moment: "This calamity is different from usual. Without the fighting power of the Eight Tribulations Ancient Immortal, the possibility of death is extremely high. I can't take you to take risks."
"As for the virtuous elder, although you have the Canghai Divine Pearl, you can have eight tribulations of combat power once you enter the seventh tribulation, because the family must have a foundation, but in order to prevent accidents, you should stay in the family."
Seeing Chen Nianzhi's resolute attitude, Qing Ji trembled slightly in her heart, and finally sighed and said: "It's because of my insufficient cultivation that I can't help you."
"Don't be sad." Chen Nianzhi held his hand and said comfortingly: "This time of calamity is not your time."
"The speed of a moment is nothing. Whether you can build a stronger foundation is the hope of enlightenment and even becoming stronger."
"You don't have to be in a hurry to help me immediately. It's better to accumulate more knowledge. Even if you survive a few more tribulations, as long as you can cultivate a true spiritual foundation, that is the key to whether you can become a Taoist or not."
When Qing Ji heard this, she could only sigh slightly and finally nodded.
Seeing this, Chen Nianzhi looked at everyone again, and then said: "There are no big enemies in the Qingcang Immortal Realm. You can practice well while I'm gone."
"If by any chance, I fail to prove my truth, you can give up everything in the Guixu Heavenly Realm and wander into the Sea of Chaos until the Eight Tribulations Ancient Immortal is born before you consider returning."
When everyone heard this, their expressions were a little solemn.
They all understand how dangerous it is to achieve Daluo Jinxian's enlightenment. Once faced with an unmatched enemy, even the most outstanding genius will most likely fail to achieve enlightenment.
Thinking of this, they all took a deep breath, and then said: "Don't worry, we will arrange everything in the clan."
Seeing this, Chen Nianzhi said nothing. He stood up and bowed his hands to everyone, and then led Jiang Linglong and the others out of Qingcang Immortal Realm, only to find that the Ancient Ice Phoenix had been waiting for a long time.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The ancient ice phoenix smiled slightly, looked at the three of them with beautiful eyes, and then said: "It is really enviable for me to travel through the ancient land of Immortal Ruins and have my lovely wife Meiji to help me."
