Not far away, a few tragic cries sounded and peace was restored before long.
Before long, Yan Beichen returned with a faint blood aura.
Yan Beichen went straight to the point and asked, "How much do you know about the Dao Inheritance Ground?"
"Nothing. I've never heard of it."
Su Zimo shook his head.
Yan Beichen said, "That's normal. The strength of Misty Peak hasn't reached the level where they can come into contact with the Dao Inheritance Ground. As for you, no one probably mentioned it to you when you first arrived in the Middle Continent and entered Hundred Refinement Sect. "
"The Dao Inheritance Ground is not somewhere in the Middle Continent. Instead, it's a space created by many ancient Mighty Figures."
Su Zimo nodded.
"In the ancient era, the rise of the human race produced countless paragons and monster incarnates. However, there weren't that many sects and factions. Some ancient Mighty Figures failed to break through to the Mahayana realm or something happened. They would choose to leave their Dao techniques there and wait for the fated person. "
Pausing for a moment, Yan Beichen asked, "Do you know why there's a word 'Dao' in the title of Void Reversion and Dharma Characteristic cultivators?"
In the world of cultivation, there was a corresponding title for every major realm of cultivator.
For example, Jin Dan realm cultivators were known as Perfected Beings.
Nascent Soul realm cultivators were known as Perfected Lords.
This was also a symbol of status. Most of the time, one might not be able to tell the other party's cultivation realm due to their abilities.
Or, it would be rude to rashly check on the other party's cultivation.
However, as long as one heard the other party's name as Perfected Lord, they would have an answer – the other party was a Nascent Soul realm cultivator!
As for Void Reversions, they were known as Daoists.
Dharma Characteristic realm cultivators were known as Dao Lords.
Su Zimo truly did not know why there was a word 'Dao' in those two titles.
When he saw Su Zimo shake his head, Yan Beichen continued, "That's because generally speaking, when you cultivate to this realm, you should clarify your Dao heart!"
"Dao heart?"
Su Zimo was slightly taken aback, revealing a pondering expression.
Yan Beichen's voice sounded again, "There are millions of cultivators, and each of them has a different Dao Heart. Some want to deliver all living beings from torment, some want to slay demons and devils, some want to be free and unfettered, some want to live forever, some want to become powerful, some want to take revenge …"
"Make your Dao Heart clear and not be shaken by external things. You can't be refined by fire, drowned by water, crushed by the heavens, and buried by the earth. Only by being firm like a boulder and immovable like a mountain can you cultivate the Grand Dao!"
The Dao Heart was the purpose of cultivation!
Why did he cultivate?
Cultivation was an act that defied the heavens, and there were countless difficulties and obstacles on the path. Only by constantly guarding one's Dao Heart would one be able to arrive at the other side.
Yan Beichen's eyes shone with a sharp light as they fell on Su Zimo's face. He asked faintly, "Why do you cultivate?"
Su Zimo was in a daze as he recalled the scene of him being bullied by Perfected Being Cang Lang in Ping Yang Town.
He recalled the scene of Zhui Feng turning into ashes in order to save him.
He recalled the scene where peach blossoms fell from the peach blossom tree and a woman in blood-colored robes imparted him a cultivation technique before stepping into the path of cultivation.
Everything felt like it was yesterday.
Su Zimo murmured softly, "I don't have a spirit root. When I first started cultivating, I merely wanted to fight against fate and change my own fate."
The scene before him changed.
Su Zimo saw his elder brother, Su Hong, who was gradually aging.
He saw the ruins and bones of Yan Country.
He saw the mortals who could not resist at all under the trampling of cultivators and demon beasts in the flames of war.
He saw the tear-stained faces of all living beings in the world and their helpless eyes.
Gradually, Su Zimo's gaze turned resolute as he said slowly, "Right now, I'm not cultivating to change my own fate. I want to change the fates of all living beings in the world! I want to establish a Dao! "
"A Dao that's different from immortals, Buddhas and fiends! A Dao that can be cultivated without a spirit root! That's my Dao Heart! "
Yan Beichen looked at Su Zimo for a long time without saying anything.
Even with his temperament, he could not help but reveal a hint of shock in his eyes at this moment!
Initially, he was merely asking casually.
However, he did not expect Su Zimo's answer to be so shocking that even he was shocked!
There was nothing much to say about establishing a Dao Heart.
It could not be said that a Dao Heart that delivered all living beings from torment was good while a Dao Heart that was carefree was bad.
However, there were still differences in Dao Hearts.
For example, some cultivators had a Dao Heart that was for revenge and were less magnanimous.
After a cultivator took revenge, they would definitely encounter a bottleneck in their cultivation and feel lost.
However, most cultivators had a Dao Heart that was for longevity.
If they wanted longevity, they had to cultivate and break through continuously!
There was no end to the path of longevity!
Compared to revenge, the Dao Heart for longevity was much more magnanimous.
However, Su Zimo's Dao Heart, structure and magnanimity were countless times higher than things like longevity and slaying demons and fiends!
He wanted to change the fates of all living beings in the world!
How magnanimous was that?!
How magnanimous was that?!
How bold was that?!
"Good, good, good!"
Yan Beichen snapped out of his trance and nodded. "Zimo, I'm inferior to you in this aspect!"
Su Zimo was probably the only person in this world who could make Shura bow his head.
Yan Beichen said, "The legacy left behind by an ancient Mighty Figure requires cultivators to enter the inheritance ground and establish a Dao Heart before they can be recognized. That will depend on their opportunities."
Su Zimo nodded and had a rough understanding of the Dao Inheritance Ground.
The Dao Inheritance Ground was not only a place where many ancient Mighty Figures left behind their legacies, it was also a place where many cultivators established their Dao Hearts!
After establishing their Dao Hearts, every cultivator could have their own Dao title.
"This inheritance ground has been passed down since the ancient era. The Dao Techniques within are still around?" Su Zimo was surprised.
"Of course,"
Yan Beichen explained, "How many Conjoint Body Mighty Figures have appeared since the ancient era? Apart from the legacies left behind by ancient Mighty Figures, there will be Mighty Figures entering the inheritance ground every generation to leave behind their legacies. "
"Furthermore, the truly top-notch Dao Technique legacies inside are extremely rare and have strict requirements for one's Dao Heart. Not everyone is qualified to inherit them."
"Top-notch Dao Technique legacies?" Su Zimo asked.
Yan Beichen said, "In the inheritance ground, the legacies left behind by many Mighty Figures are all sorts of strange things. It could be a weapon, a boulder, or a statue. "
"However, legend has it that the strongest dozens of Mighty Figures of the ancient era left their legacies in a unique region."
"This region is in the center of the Dao Inheritance Ground and is called the Three Tribulations Domain."
"As the name suggests, there are three major tribulations in the Three Tribulations Domain! The first is the Wind Tribulation, the second is the Fire Tribulation and the third is the Thunder Tribulation! "
"Only by resisting the three tribulations can one reach the center of the Three Tribulations Domain and see the legacies left behind by the dozens of ancient Mighty Figures!
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat as he asked, "Brother Yan, I'm sure you entered the Dao Inheritance Ground back then and cleared the Three Tribulations Domain. Did you reach the innermost part?"
"No,"
Yan Beichen shook his head. "I only cleared the wind and fire tribulations and almost died in the thunder tribulation!"
