To ask the heart is to ask whether your heart is firm in pursuing the Tao.
This sounds simple, but is actually very difficult.
What is enlightenment?
Speaking of this, every cultivator knows that he is the Great Emperor of Enlightenment.
When every cultivator first steps into the path of cultivation, he has a dream of becoming a great emperor. They all feel that they are the protagonist and they will definitely be able to become a great emperor in the future.
This is the original intention of every cultivator.
This is also their original intention to follow the Tao.
But as time goes by, ninety-nine percent of cultivators will abandon this heart of pursuing the Tao, because they have experienced too much, suffered too many blows, and have already surrendered to the cruel reality. How can they still survive?
Is there any pursuit of enlightenment?
Most cultivators have long since given up. Some have changed their goals to the transcendent realm, thinking that a thousand years of life would be great, while others want to become saints.
Those who are more demanding may want to become a great sage or a quasi-emperor.
Because everyone knows that their talents are mediocre and there is no chance of attaining enlightenment, they all doubt themselves, and naturally their determination to pursue the Dao is not firm.
Even some super geniuses will be discouraged from pursuing the Tao after experiencing too many setbacks.
There are very few people who can truly maintain their original intentions.
But do you think that the tribulation of asking your mind is just to test whether you can maintain your mind towards the Tao?
No, it also tests whether your determination to follow the path is firm.
At this moment, Xiao Yun was involved in the illusion. This was the illusion of the Tribulation of Asking the Heart. It was tested by Dao Dao himself. It doesn't matter if it is an illusion, or it can be said to be the real world.
…
"This is... the magic city???"
When Xiao Yun opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the towering Dongfang Mingzhu in front of him, which was also one of the symbols of the Magic City.
There are also high-rise buildings all around, like a steel jungle.
But, isn’t I, Emperor Xiao Tian, trying to achieve enlightenment and overcome tribulations?
Why did I go back to the time before time travel in the blink of an eye?
"Xiao Yun, why are you still standing there stupidly? Come and hand out flyers, be careful if Fatty Wang sees them and fines you wages.
"A girl with a round face and a cute face pulled Xiao Yun's sleeve and said hurriedly.
Xiao Yun lowered his head and saw a handful of flyers in his hand - Paradise Foot Spa's grand opening offer, a top-up of 100,000 and a gift of 10,000...
A strange memory suddenly emerged in my mind, but it was so familiar.
His name is Xiao Yun, and he is a newly graduated college student. However, college students are worthless these days, especially in a big city like Shanghai. If you throw a brick casually, you can hit a college student.
At this time, returning to my hometown and going to a small city with potential is the right choice.
But Xiao Yun, who had just graduated, still had the arrogance of being a scholar. He didn't want to go back to his hometown or go to a small city. Even if he was just distributing leaflets in the magical city, he still wanted to stay here.
No, in his first job, he was sent to distribute leaflets.
Paradise Foot Bath is a newly opened foot bath health club nearby. Don't think wrongly, it is absolutely formal. No one here dares to open an irregular one.
Xiao Yun originally went to apply for a manager position, but when people saw that you were a newly graduated college student and not from a prestigious university, they sent you directly to hand out flyers.
The cute little girl next to her, like Xiao Yun, is also a recent graduate. There is a boy and a girl, so it is not tiring to work together.
"Xiao Yun, drink some water, it's quite hot today.
"The little cute girl took a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Xiao Yun. She glanced at Xiao Yun secretly, then hurriedly lowered her head, her face flushed.
This little brother is so handsome... The little cute girl's heart is like a deer.
Xiao Yun's appearance is still very good and he is very popular with girls.
"It's 35 degrees today, can it be hot?" Xiao Yun took the mineral water and immediately took a few sips. Then he stopped instantly and his eyes froze.
Wait, how can I feel the heat? I, the mighty Emperor Xiao Tian, have become an emperor before I even attained enlightenment. How can I feel the heat? Even if I were thrown into the sun, I would still be able to happily eat barbecue.
Xiao Yun put down the mineral water, touched the sweat on his forehead, and was stunned.
Then, he sensed his physical condition... He couldn't sense anything. He had no energy left, so how could he sense it?
Where is my power?
Where is the secret of the law that I have understood?
Where is my strongest emperor level strength?
Xiao Yun suppressed the panic in his heart, he was not an ordinary person after all, and quickly calmed down.
Then he raised his head to look at the sky and snorted coldly: "It is indeed a test arranged by Dao. This illusion is so real. It's a pity that you think you can fool me, Emperor Xiao Tian, like this?"
A small white hand suddenly stretched out and touched Xiao Yun's forehead.
"Hey, it's so hot. Xiao Yun, you have a fever. Go to the hospital quickly.
"The little cute girl took Xiao Yun's arm and hurriedly ran to the bus not far away.
Xiao Yun came back to his senses and said helplessly: "With such a high temperature, can it not be scalding?"
"Then you were talking nonsense just now about Emperor Xiao Tian and Dao Dao. Have you read too many online novels?" said the little cute girl.
Xiao Yun was too lazy to talk nonsense to her. In his opinion, everything here was an illusion created by Dao, but it was so real that even he couldn't see through it.
But it doesn't matter, as long as you keep your Taoist heart firm, these are just random flowers that gradually become charming.
Xiao Yun dropped the flyer in his hand and ran straight towards the center of the crowded road.
Since I can't see through it, I'm going to die.
When you die, this illusion is broken.
Haha, Da Dao, that's all you have.
I, Xiao Yun, have an incomparable determination to attain enlightenment and no one can stop me.
"Xiao Yun, what are you doing? Stop quickly, it's dangerous—" the little cute girl yelled in fear behind Xiao Yun.
The result was already too late.
"Peng!"
Xiao Yun was hit by a car and flew away. It made no sense not to be hit. Xiao Yun was just seeking death. He hit his head on someone else's car. If they didn't hit him, who would he hit?
Moreover, the other party was a female driver. When she saw Xiao Yun rushing over, she was so frightened that she stepped on the brake instead of the accelerator, knocking Xiao Yun out in a beautiful parabola.
…
In the starry sky of the universe, Xiao Yun closed his eyes and remained motionless, allowing himself to be bombarded by the Emperor's Heavenly Tribulation Thunder.
However, those terrible thunders that struck Xiao Yun did not even destroy his fur, as if they were scratching an itch.
This shocked everyone in the distance.
"This guy's physical body is really terrifying. The Emperor's Tribulation was like giving him a bath. Even if he stood here and licked for a year, it would be fine.
"Wu Hao was frightened when he saw it. The thunder that day was not weak, but very powerful. It was estimated that one strike could destroy him.
Next to them, Zhao Wuji, Qin Shisan and others were also shocked, with solemn expressions on their faces. The power of this thunder was even more terrifying than when Dugu Jian had demonstrated his Dao.
Obviously, because Xiao Yun is so powerful, the imperial calamity he causes is also very powerful.
However, Xiao Yun's physical body is even more powerful.
"This is the benefit of the body-refining lineage. If he becomes an emperor in his physical body first, it will be much easier for him to survive the emperor's calamity.
"Qin Shisan said with emotion that if it were him, even if he survived the calamity of asking the heart, he would probably be severely injured by the thunder during this period. If he couldn't endure it, he would even die.
"Hmph, my ancient holy body lineage also rules the roost with the physical body, not much worse than his Xiao Erniu.
"Zhao Wuji snorted arrogantly, but he was thinking in his heart that he could practice Xiao Yun's "Chaos Immortal Body" at the same time after returning. Although he does not follow this path, he can improve the physical strength and prove the path in the future.
The chance of overcoming the tribulation will also be much greater.
I, Emperor Zhao Tian, have peerless talent and powerful strength. The imperial tribulation I will cause in the future will definitely be stronger than Xiao Yun’s. If I don’t improve my physical body, I might die in the heart-asking tribulation.
