Lin Xiu took the bead from the old man and the latter flicked his sleeves. Lin Xiu suddenly felt the world spinning and he was not clear about what happened next.
While his consciousness was hazy, Lin Xiu only felt that he had entered a very vast space. It was filled with endless darkness and there was no light at all.
Looking up, there was only darkness in front of him and there was nothing else.
Suddenly, Lin Xiu felt a sharp pain.
This pain came from the soul.
It was not an illusion! It was not external!
He tried his best to open his eyes, but his consciousness gradually fell into a deep sleep.
Like a baby curling up his body, Lin Xiu frowned tightly. Even in his sleep, he could not bear the pain.
One must know that ever since he embarked on the road of cultivation, the training he underwent every day was simply unimaginable by others. But even so, he believed that even someone as determined as him could feel the silence. One could imagine how terrifying such a test was.
This pain came from the heart itself. It was not an impact on the spiritual level or an illusion, but the real pain brought by the fusion of the soul! And Lin Xiu went to the extreme in the past, constantly sharpening his heart and withstanding all the pain. His heart had long been sharpened like a diamond.
The "bead" slowly fused with Lin Xiu's soul. The fusion was extremely slow, but as the degree of fusion slowly increased, the degree of pain also soared!
One year, two years, three years... 10 years, 20 years, 30 years...
In the blink of an eye, 60 years had passed.
"I must live, only then can I touch the true meaning of the Heaven and Earth Mirror 10 levels, only then can I save the continent from the abyss of suffering." Lin Xiu muttered to himself. While enduring the pain, he quickly thought of a solution.
"Sharpen the heart!"
Lin Xiu pondered, and a variety of ways to sharpen the heart appeared in his mind.
In fact, enduring this soul-tearing pain was a kind of sharpening, it would make the heart of the strong stronger.
"Not enough, just enduring the pain to sharpen the heart is not enough."
"I need a faster way."
"The heart, be true, be sincere. Only then can there be a big breakthrough! " This was one of the experiences of the ancestors of the Immortal Martial Continent on cultivating the heart, and it was also something that Lin Xiu believed in after many years of cultivation.
To be true, the heart was frank and natural.
Sincerity, reverence for all living things in the world.
This was a supreme technique that could create miracles and unleash the power of one's spirit.
The reasoning behind it was actually very simple. It was just like how if a researcher was able to wholeheartedly focus on research without any distractions in his heart and had a sincere heart, the power of his mind would produce great miracles when he was completely immersed in his research, allowing the research to become smoother and the efficiency to increase by ten or even a hundred times. It was completely possible to produce great results.
"For the past 60 years, I have endured the pain, but I have always been troubled by the pain and found it hard to calm my heart." Lin Xiu muttered.
"From this moment on."
"I began to focus on studying the 'Sword Dao'. My heart is as pure as one. No matter how intense the pain is, I will not be affected … My heart is pure and true, and I will focus on studying the Sword Dao." Lin Xiu thought to himself.
Lin Xiu could feel the impending danger. Under the invisible pressure and the soul-tearing pain, he began to truly study the 'Sword Dao'.
It was easy to say that one had to be sincere, but it was hard to do!
If not for this soul-tearing pain, Lin Xiu could easily do this with his mental fortitude. But at this moment, the pain was so intense that even someone as strong as Lin Xiu couldn't do it at the beginning. He would often be confused by the pain.
There was also the invisible pressure, the pressure of death, which would occasionally make Lin Xiu's heart chaotic.
But gradually, Lin Xiu forgot about the pressure, abandoned the pain, and suppressed the intense pain to the side. No matter how the world fell, Lin Xiu was still wholeheartedly immersed in the 'Sword Dao'...
In loneliness, the heart would reveal its strength!
And his pure and true heart, especially under such intense pain, gave birth to an endless source of strength, allowing Lin Xiu to continue to persevere...
"See one's nature, point to the heart …" Firm heart, believe in yourself, is a strong heart, and believe that you are the strongest! No matter what you encounter, you have to firmly believe in yourself and never waver. But this path was also the most difficult to move forward. Do not rely on external help and persevere with your heart.
To put it bluntly, it would be 'extremely stubborn'... stubborn "such people would easily stumble and suffer.
And those who truly see one's nature naturally wouldn't follow the crowd. They had a firm heart and even if they were pointed at by thousands and reviled by millions, they would still persevere without batting an eyelid. This path was the most arduous and the most difficult to walk...
"Yin and Yang together, a pure heart …"
Such people could make countless people admire and believe in them. It was difficult to hate such people. They could see through the hearts of millions of ordinary people and in history, they were called 'saints'.
"The heart embraces everything, the universe …" They believed in the vastness of the universe and that they couldn't surpass everything in the outside world. They weren't willing to just resign themselves to adversity and become one with heaven and earth … they wanted to be inclusive, inclusive of everything.
Such strong people were very ambitious.
They had endless ambitions and their beliefs were terrifying.
Three paths.
In history, there were many who 'see one's nature', those who persevered with their hearts, or rather, those who were extremely stubborn. After stumbling time and time again, after experiencing great ups and downs … they, who had long seen through people's hearts, would finally wake up and think that the Yin and Yang together was the way. Completely persevering with their hearts was too extreme.
Thus, there was' Heaven and man as one '… and the so-called' perfection '.
At this time, they wouldn't suffer anymore and would no longer break their heads. Instead, they would be worshipped by countless people.
After walking on the second path for a long time and achieving perfection for a long time, they would have a deeper desire.
They weren't resigned to Heaven and man as one, they wanted 'man to embrace heaven'. This was the third level.
Three paths, in terms of success and recognition.
The third path was the strongest, the second was the second, and the first was the strongest.
An absolutely sincere heart would produce a miraculous power at the most dangerous moment. Every time he was interrupted, he would suppress it again and again. In fact, every time he suppressed it, his heart would become more stable. Every time he improved a little, every time he improved a little … this kind of improvement was even faster than before.
Just like that … Lin Xiu actually held on again.
The frequency of this kind of oppressive pain increased as time went on. In the end, the power bursting out of one's spirit was no match for the 'intense pain' that was constantly increasing. As long as the fusion continued, the soul-tearing pain would continue to increase, and it would never stop. It was as if there was a road roller moving at a stable speed behind. A person might run, but they would eventually get tired and not be able to run anymore. No matter how strong their faith was … they would eventually be unable to run anymore. There was a limit, and the result was … being crushed into meat paste!
"Can't hold on anymore?" The old man had been observing Lin Xiu's condition in secret. As the creator of the bead, he could of course control everything that happened here. He looked down at Lin Xiu, who was trembling all over and had cracks on his skin. His face was twitching from pain to madness and stubbornness …
His entire body was trembling and he was going crazy.
"I'm tired."
"Child, if you can't hold on, then forget it."
The old man sighed.
In the entire Immortal Martial Continent, he was one of the experts who stood at the peak of soul research. Even the mysterious youth couldn't help but admire the old man's talent and perseverance in this aspect. To be able to work tirelessly for dozens of years, this kind of person was worthy of respect.
Although he wasn't optimistic about Lin Xiu at the beginning, he had silently observed Lin Xiu for so many years and believed that the young man in front of him was indeed extraordinary. According to what the mysterious young man told him, if it wasn't for the crisis that broke out in the Immortal Martial Continent, it was too sudden. If Lin Xiu was given enough time to grow, he would definitely be able to become an expert that could make the entire continent tremble.
