After casting the Infinite Palm to block Shi Xuan's One Sword to Destroy All Laws, the tall, majestic, and majestic Shenhuang's golden robe fluttered even though there was no wind. He smiled in his heart and said, "You are indeed a peerless genius in swordsmanship, but you dare to attack me with just the One Sword to Destroy All Laws and this mere Level Nine Celestial Art. How audacious of you. Cultivators who have fallen into the decline of Daoist Heart are really unreasonable."
As early as when Shi Xuan distorted time and space and arrived outside the Boundless World, Shenhuang already had the chance to attack. However, out of caution, he still allowed Shi Xuan to slash out with his sword. In this way, he was on the defensive.
Although he suffered a small loss under Shi Xuan's unexpected One Sword to Destroy All Laws and lost more than a hundred years of cultivation, it was not a big deal to Shenhuang. Next, he could get rid of the hidden danger in one fell swoop!
"Today, I will let you really see what a half-step Golden Celestial is. It is not something that you can imagine after relying on external objects such as the Fairy Slaying Sword Formation to block for a while!"
The golden treasured light imbued with the Power of Vow behind Shenhuang's head bloomed rapidly. The glazed light shone brightly, illuminating the entire world. The golden rays that hung down from it flowed like water curtains in front of the eaves. Within it, there were countless golden lamps that floated up and down. One by one, they lit up like the lights of tens of thousands of households, or like the road signs that guided the believers in the solemn Holy Kingdom.
These rays of light converged into a glazed beam of light that carried an ethereal and distant aura and was filled with billions of Gods. It covered everything and struck toward Shi Xuan.
It seemed to have flowed through the boundless darkness, yet it had actually directly passed through layers of space and appeared in Shi Xuan's surroundings. Everywhere it passed, everything would leap with joy, attain enlightenment, and sincerely convert. Even if it was the laws of the heavens and the earth, even if it was time and space.
The Great Divine Light of Salvation purified everything and guided all living beings to transcend the Nirvana Realm!
However, just before the Great Divine Light of Salvation sealed the nearby time and space, the dim white sword light that could destroy all Laws suddenly disappeared. Then, a majestic and bright purple thunder light lit up on Shi Xuan's body. With a terrifying aura, it resisted Shenhuang's pressure and instantly enveloped Shi Xuan. It tore open the space barrier and moved towards the wilderness at the edge of the universe.
His speed was as fast as a half-step Golden Celestial. Many half-step Golden Celestial Immortals who were watching this place immediately lost track of Shi Xuan. Only Emperor Feng Du, Emperor Jiu Zang, and Emperor Nether Sea Emperor knew that Shi Xuan had such a Space-Time Way-Mark Gate Gate. After making preparations, they found the place where Shi Xuan went.
A hint of a smile appeared on Shenhuang's dignified face. "Trying to escape?"
The Dao Monarchs who were watching the battle might not be able to track where Shi Xuan went, but during the exchange just now, Shenhuang had firmly locked onto Shi Xuan's aura. Even if Shi Xuan had moved to a certain Vast Thousand World in the wilderness in an instant, it was still reflected in Shenhuang's mind.
Shenhuang did not dare to be negligent. At this time, with his half-step Golden Celestial Immortal realm, he did not even need to leave his own Vast Thousand World. He could just distort time and space and cross the boundaries to shoot the Great Divine Light of Salvation. However, he knew that Shi Xuan had an innate spiritual item that could conceal the Heavenly Secrets and avoid the locking and tracking of a half-step Golden Celestial. If he was careless, Shi Xuan would be able to escape.
With today's attack, it was very likely that Shi Xuan would completely trigger the decline of his Dao Heart in a short period of time. When that time came and he became a half-step Golden Celestial, it would be very troublesome.
Shenhuang, who had already stood up, took a step forward. Layers of time and space distorted in front of him, rippling like water.
"Even if you, Shi Xuan, have an ambush, I still have a few Dao Monarchs to help me! Even if you have Daozu as your background, Teacher will definitely not ignore you at this time! "
The skilled were bold. Shenhuang walked out of the distorted time and space and saw a Vast Thousand World that was not considered prosperous. At this time, Shi Xuan had already activated the Spacetime Waymark Gate. Purple lightning flashed and broke through the sky, directly teleporting to another place at the edge of the wilderness in the universe.
Unhurriedly, Shenhuang distorted the time and space in front of him again. So what if you have a Spacetime Waymark Gate that was strengthened by a half-step Golden Celestial? I am a genuine half-step Golden Celestial, how can I not catch up to you?!
Moreover, this kind of Spacetime Waymark Gate that was strengthened by someone else could only be imprinted with a Spacetime Waymark Gate on both sides of the gate. It could only be changed after calming down. Since Shi Xuan's two destinations had been confirmed, why would Shenhuang worry about not being able to catch up to him?
"Hey, Penglai House. So this is Penglai's secret base." Stepping into the water-like distorted time and space, Shenhuang's immortal senses swept around casually and discovered some of the mysteries of this Vast Thousand World. This was the Seven Immortals Great World!
But Shenhuang did not kill him directly. At this time, killing Shi Xuan was the most important thing. As for the rest, they could talk about it later. When the nest is overturned, no eggs can remain unbroken!
The place that Shi Xuan wanted to move the Spacetime Waymark Gate to was the Vast Thousand World where the Universe Cauldron was. After two moves, Shenhuang's vigilance could be slightly reduced.
Only in the Universe Cauldron, he could directly use the Primordial Chaos Golden Dipper of Innate Fate Dao Embryo without worry of being discovered by Daozu.
Although this would expose the location of the Universe Cauldron, the karma oath did not include that he could not take refuge in the Universe Cauldron if he was being chased. Moreover, even if Daozu found the Universe Cauldron, if he wanted to see through the barrier of the Primordial Great Way of Universe and see the situation inside, he would need to spend time to break it, or he would need to directly descend and enter it.
And what Shi Xuan wanted was just this short time difference!
If the power of the Primordial Great Way of Innate Fate was compatible with his own cultivation method, it would be equivalent to the level of the Outer Dao Development of a half-step Golden Immortal.
The Treasure Record that was deduced and perfected by the Master of Fate happened to contain the Great Way of Innate Fate. Shi Xuan himself had also seen part of the True Meaning of the Primordial Great Way of Innate Fate. After several years of sacrificial refining and mastery, it was enough to exert 70% to 80% of the power of the Primordial Chaos Golden Dipper. Even if it was not at the level of the Outer Dao Development, it was already at the level of perfection of the Dao foundation.
Shi Xuan remembered that Mo Jingqiu once said that the Primordial Chaos Golden Dipper was the nemesis of all cultivation methods. If the strength was not at the same level, there was no resistance at all.
And Shenhuang was just a half-step Golden Immortal whose Dao foundation had not been perfected!
By the time the Daozu came or directly came in, Shi Xuan was 90% sure that he would have already cut Shenhuang into the Lord Of Heaven and killed him with a sword. In this way, he would not have to worry about the Dao Embryo of Innate Fate being exposed to the Daozu's eyes.
After the Spacetime Waymark that was strengthened by a half-step Golden Immortal was activated, it was very fast. In just a moment, Shi Xuan sensed the Vast Thousand World where the Universe Cauldron was located.
But at this moment, in Shi Xuan's Primordial Spirit, there was suddenly an ethereal moral aura that contained thousands of Great Ways and enlightened all living beings. It made Shi Xuan's Dao Heart clear again, and it was as if some heavy invisible dust on his mirror-like soul was swept away.
There was originally nothing, so where was the dust?
"Tao Te Ching?" Shi Xuan was shocked. The Tao Te Ching, the secret treasure of the fifth Deva's Blight refined according to the Treasure Record, was activated at this time. Didn't it mean that he was at the moment when his Dao Heart really broke out?
Shi Xuan had always thought that his Dao Heart was as clear as a mirror, but at this time, it was really crystal clear, reflecting everything.
"There is a remnant Great Illusionary Land in the Universe Cauldron, which reflects the phantoms of the Great Way of Innate Fate and the Primordial Chaos Golden Dipper. As long as the Daozu find it, how can they not know that the Dao Embryo of Innate Fate is in the Universe Cauldron? In this way, if they still can't figure out that the Primordial Chaos Golden Dipper is in me and kill Shenhuang with it, they will be ashamed of their identity as Jinxian Daoist!"
"Even if they don't find the Great Illusionary Land, they will still have a lot of suspicions from the fact that I witnessed the true meaning of the Great Way of Innate Fate and grasped the sword art of One Sword Breaking All Things only a few years after I invited Mo Jingqiu of the Three Night Palace to visit the Taiyuan Heaven. Also, the exposure of the Universe Cauldron will certainly make the Daozu realize the cause and effect!"
"If they were suspicious before because I am a chess piece of the Daozu whose capabilities are on par with theirs, they still needed to test and confirm it. After they see the Universe Cauldron, the Daozu will certainly have no more suspicions. I'm afraid that another war between Gold Deities will break out. Even the Daozu on my side may attack me!"
"Also, if the Universe Cauldron is exposed, chances are that the Grand Void Daozu and the Five Elements Daozu will be furious!"
"My plan seems to be thorough, but it is in fact full of loopholes. Even if I can kill Shenhuang, the Primordial Chaos Golden Dipper and my own life will be in danger!"
"It is indeed the decline of my belief. I have always been prudent and considerate, but I have been so careless and made so many mistakes!"
All kinds of thoughts flashed inside Shi Xuan's soul, making Shi Xuan realize that he had truly fallen into the decline of his belief, and the real outbreak was coming.
"What should I do next?"
There was no book or book that recorded how he should deal with the decline of his belief when it completely broke out. Shi Xuan could only guard his mind and visualize the Lord Of Heaven, who was pure and natural, while the Tai Chi Painting turned into the Nirvana Golden Bridge to suppress his soul.
"Wait." An idea suddenly occurred to Shi Xuan. "Daozu of the Five Elements has been to the Universe Cauldron and the Grand Illusionary Land. How could he not have speculated that there is a fetus of natural destiny inside the Universe Cauldron? Even if he was searching for it slowly, he should have searched all the worlds inside the Universe Cauldron over the past hundreds of thousands of years. Why did he leave the Primordial Chaos Golden Dipper where it was? The Five Elements can match the opposite seed of destiny! "
"Similar to him is Daozu of the Great Void!"
"Why didn't they just erase the Grand Illusionary Land?" "Why did Daozu of the Five Elements use the Five-colored Holy Light?"
"All this time, why didn't Jing Qiu, Xuan Xiao, and I think about such an obvious question? Was it because we were blinded by Daozu of the Five Elements and Great Void, or was there another reason? "
All of these things happened in the blink of an eye. Shi Xuan felt that his soul had suddenly fallen into a dark and illusory world of nothingness. There were spots of light flashing everywhere, but Shi Xuan could no longer sense anything outside of his soul, nor could he sense Shenhuang, who was about to catch up with him.
Shi Xuan's consciousness incarnation was in the middle of this dark world. He suppressed all the doubts he had about Daozu of the Five Elements and looked around. He thought to himself, "Is this the inner confinement of the Dao Heart's Decline?"
At this stage, Shi Xuan was no longer worried about whether Shenhuang had caught up with him or whether he was about to fall into madness outside. He calmed his mind and focused on this unknown place. Moreover, Shi Xuan understood that this was an environment of a thousand years in an instant. If he could get out, his Dao Heart's Decline would pass and he would become a half-step Golden Immortal. If he couldn't, he would fall into madness and die.
The spots of light were getting brighter and brighter, and every spot of light was showing a scene.
Shi Xuan looked at it and was shocked to find that every scene in the light was something that he had experienced before.
He had obtained the Diamond Glazed Celestial Talisman without deliberately pursuing it.
Without relying on external objects, he had gone through two Heaven's Tribulations and mastered the Yin Yang Chaotic Divine Light.
He had returned to Yu Yutian and killed Emperor Blood Shadow in a dangerous manner.
Then, he had relied on the Diamond Glazed Celestial Talisman and the magic treasure that Immortal Jiang and his disciple Chu Wan 'er had found for him to survive the Nine Fires Burning Heart Tribulation.
He had controlled himself and was not fooled by the Left Saint Emperor Robe, a four-tribulation supreme spiritual treasure, and his identity as the Master of the Nine Serenities. He had left the Nine Serenities World firmly and had come into contact with the essence of the Great Way of Yin and Yang.
…
Before he had finished watching, Shi Xuan's heart trembled and many scenes appeared in his mind.
In order to survive the Deva's Decline, the Lord Of Heaven had resolutely sacrificed the Small Chiliocosm and all the living creatures in it. In the end, they had become nutrients for the dead Daozu.
In order to obtain the Qi of Merit, the Primordial Soul Immortal had joined the ranks of unifying the Vast Chiliocosm. He did not care whether he liked it or not. He fought day and night and was ferocious and terrifying. He did not look like an orthodox Taoist Sect Primordial Soul, but more like a Devil Immortal.
In order to survive the Secret Treasures and Secret Skills, the Immortals and Immortals often went into caves and grotto-heavens to fight desperately and forgot to sharpen their Taoist Heart.
In order to survive the Decline of Lifespan, the Lord Of Heaven lived in the ruins outside the chaos of the Untainted Land. He gave up his freedom and lived like a fly for a dog. Since he was enslaved by his own heart, he was melancholy and sad alone!
…
"The Four Nine Heavenly Tribulations and the Five Blights of the Deva's Decline are like enemies sent by the Vast Chiliocosm, the Void Universe, and the Three Thousand Great Ways to stop us cultivators from moving forward. In the face of the enemy, we can use any means, including secret skills, secret treasures, magic treasures, and spirit treasures. But in the midst of it, it is easy to make mistakes and forget that killing the enemy is the process, not the goal. We should understand the Great Ways and get close to the Great Ways. Once we fall into the mentality of going through the tribulations for the sake of going through the tribulations, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to survive the Fifth Blight of the Deva's Decline, let alone become one with the Tao."
"You have been advancing by leaps and bounds. You need to control yourself and stay true to your heart. It is better to be slower and more dangerous than to go through the tribulations for the sake of going through them."
Master Mo Yuan's words, as well as his own understanding over the past thousands of years, and the gains he had gained from meditating in the newly opened Vast Thousand Domains for a thousand years, seemed to have broken through a barrier and suddenly integrated in Shi Xuan's mind.
Many things that he could not understand and could not understand were immediately understood by Shi Xuan.
"So, the real Decline of the Taoist Heart begins when the Nascent Divinity Stage is formed. It tests whether or not I can stay true to myself and control my nature in the face of the obstacles of the Heavenly Tribulations and the temptations of countless paths and precious things."
"No wonder the Decline of the Taoist Heart is so illusory and difficult!"
"No wonder so many Perfected Cultivators and Perfected Cultivators haven't passed the Decline of Lifespan yet. It seems that their Taoist Heart has fallen into the Decline of Lifespan.
"Once I'm afraid of the difficulties on this path and can't bear the temptations, the Taoist Heart will quietly decline. After a long time, when I pass the Decline of Lifespan, it will immediately trigger and accelerate the decline of the Taoist Heart. When it completely erupts, it will be difficult to go back!"
What was the Decline of the Taoist Heart? This was the Decline of the Taoist Heart!
"Firm the path, achieve the Gold Elixir, see the nature of the heart, see the Nascent Divinity, control the heart, and pass the Decline of the Taoist Heart. These are the three realms of the Taoist Heart!"
While Shi Xuan was deeply shocked and alert, he saw the light flying towards him bit by bit and continued to show scenes, as if they were interrogating his Taoist Heart.
"Pass down the Cultivation Method, teach all living beings, and obtain the Qi of Merit. You can only reap what you pay, and you benefit others and yourself."
"In the fourth Heavenly Tribulation, I faced the difficulties head-on. Except for the Black and Yellow Pagoda, I didn't use any secret treasures or secret techniques."
"In order to help Meng Nishang, I entered the Cave in the Yuangui Mystic Ice Mirror. I had a narrow escape, and it was not against my nature."
"I stole the cultivation method of the Yin and Yang Dao Annihilation Sword and exchanged it equally. It was not against my nature."
"I relied on my deep accumulation to survive the first Heaven's Blight. Even the secret techniques were cultivated without going against my nature. I took care of Gu Canghai and Wei Peining for a long time."
"In the Secret Cave of Time, every step was dangerous, but I never went against my nature. I killed Shi Jingren because he was unwilling to let me go."
"In the second Heaven's Blight, I relied on the true meaning of the Great Dao of Yin and Yang to survive. I didn't use any secret treasures or secret techniques."
"To survive the third Heaven's Blight, I relied on my deep accumulation and the secret treasures I obtained from Shi Jingren. It was not against my nature."
"In the Land of Dharma, I faced the temptation of the Connate Dao Fetus and the temptation of ascending to the heavens in a single step. I didn't go against my nature. I didn't attack from behind and deceive my mind."
"The Tribulation Transcendence Secret Technique of the fourth Heaven's Blight is mainly to temper my Taoist Heart. I also cultivated it successfully without going against my nature!"
...
The scenes of the past interrogated his Taoist Heart. The light turned into a grand voice that shook his heart.
"Stepping on this path is often painful and torturous. You are often lonely and unbearable. There are often people who die by the side of the road without anyone knowing. This is not something an ordinary person can do. Can you control your heart?"
"Stepping on this path is often difficult. The world insults you, scolds you, belittles you, despises you, and despises you. Your friends doubt you, hate you, and see you as an alien. No one walks with you. Can you control your heart?"
"Stepping on this path is often tempted. There are all kinds of simple and convenient methods and countless treasures that can allow you to ascend to the heavens in a single step. Can you control your heart?"
Facing this, Shi Xuan was completely enlightened.
"'The trouble of cultivation lies in oneself'. 'Control your heart and stand firm to yourself'. These are the ultimate truths of the Great Path that the predecessors have recorded in the classics. They clearly explain the key to pass the decline of one's belief. They seem simple and ordinary. Everybody understands them, but how many cultivators can stand firm to the end?"
When cultivators who were clearly inferior to you catch up to you and surpass you in terms of realm, can you control your heart?
The path ahead is difficult and dangerous. You have to go against your nature in order to have a greater chance of passing. Can you control your heart?
When all kinds of temptations are placed in front of you, there are no lack of shortcuts or the key to the Great Dao. Can you control your heart?
When the Four Nine Tribulations and the Five Decays of Deva come one after another, and you can't avoid it. You have just achieved longevity and are about to step into death. Can you control your heart?!
When there is a path, as long as you persevere, firm, and stick to it, there is a high chance of success. Can you control your heart?! If this path is filled with difficulties and temptations, but the hope of success seems to be out of reach, can you control your heart?!
There are countless paths in life, countless difficulties, and countless temptations. Can you be firm on the path, persevere, and stick to your heart?!
Can you?!
Shi Xuan smiled and took a step forward. Everything in the past echoed in his heart.
The clouds cover the moon but can't cover the eyes. Even if I die, my heart is iron!
There are thousands of temptations and tens of thousands of difficulties. I will stick to my heart and slash!
Suddenly, his Dao Heart was like a bright moon. The jade rabbit rose from the east and illuminated everything. The entire dark and empty world seemed to be completely illuminated by Shi Xuan.
Only those with great perseverance, wisdom, and courage could achieve great freedom, freedom, and liberation!
