After successfully passing the fourth level of the War God Temple, Zhou Tong emerged once more. He didn't do anything else, continuing to immerse himself in his own meditations.
He could sense that his heartforce hadn't reached its peak yet, and that it could still continue to grow.
Zhou Tong hadn't truly used up all the resources he had accumulated in the other worlds. His Dao-heart and will were still being converted into the heartforce of this world.
Only someone like Zhou Tong, who had been an 'expert' to begin with, would be able to quickly convert his insights, Dao-heart, and will into the energy of this world. Others simply wouldn't be able to reach this level of power.
Which other Heartforce cultivator hadn't tempered their will through countless events, allowing their heartforce to slowly grow? Perhaps they had tempered their minds through battle, or perhaps they had experienced a series of unforeseen events, such as love and hate, before overcoming these tribulations and allowing their heartforce to grow.
But Zhou Tong only needed to understand what the heartforce of this world was, and he would be able to quickly convert it into the corresponding energy. This was because he had experienced all sorts of battles and all sorts of tempering long ago.
It could even be said that the cultivation of heartforce was far more suited to the current Zhou Tong than the Fiendgod Body Refining path or the Ki Refining path. This was because heartforce was intangible and ephemeral. As long as one had enough insights, as long as one's soul was powerful enough, even an ordinary person who was isolated from the elemental energy of the world would be able to rapidly grow.
Zhou Tong closed his eyes, the heartforce in his body constantly growing. After the Dao-heart he had tempered in the other worlds had been absorbed into this world, his heartforce had grown increasingly powerful.
Finally, his Heart Force had been silently raised to a 'limit'. Only at this moment did he open his eyes once more.
A feeling of control over the heavens and the earth welled up in his heart.
"If I'm not mistaken, the level of insight I just gained should be the third level of heartforce, the 'ruler' level!" Zhou Tong carefully sensed the changes in his body, at the same time comparing it to some of the levels in the original work.
The first level of heartforce was known as the 'initiate' level. The most direct manifestation of this was that heartforce would follow an arrow as it pierced through the air without dissipating. Upon reaching this level, one could be considered to have reached the first level of heartforce.
The next level of heartforce was known as the 'Iceheart' level.
The 'Iceheart' level didn't mean that one's heart would be completely sealed off from the outside world. Rather, it meant that a cultivator's heart would be extremely powerful, transcendent yet deep and restrained, unshakable by external forces. The heart would be like an unmelted iceberg, unmoving despite the brilliance of the outside world.
. after reaching the second level of heartforce, the essence of heartforce would undergo a qualitative transformation.
If the first level of heartforce, the second level of heartforce, the second level of heartforce, the Iceheart's's's's, the arrow ', the second level of's would to make an arrow's arrow to shoot with unparalleled power.
As for the third level of heartforce, it was called 'ruler'.
If the Iceheart Realm was about maintaining one's Dao Heart, then the Ruler Realm was a realm of transcendence.

"The heartforce of a Sovereign is indeed very powerful!" Zhou Tong slowly raised his hand, his heartforce enveloping his palm.
Rumble!
In an instant, an indescribable oppressive feeling was released from his palm. It had an incomparably powerful pressure, and it was as if he was lifting a mountain with his palm.
After reaching the third level of heartforce, the essence of heartforce had undergone a qualitative transformation, its''s's's'.
But soon after, Zhou Tong dispersed the heartforce in his palm, and all the strange phenomena disappeared.
"The third level of heartforce. After reaching the Sovereign realm, the difference between heartforce and divine sense is enormous. They're practically different things. Heartforce is practically the physical manifestation of the Dao!" Zhou Tong carefully thought back to the transformation of heartforce, and a hint of understanding gradually emerged in his mind.
He could already sense the difference between the path of heartforce and the path of Qi Refinement and Body Refinement. This path was more 'idealistic'. It could be said that the size of the heart was the size of the world.
This sentence sounded simple, but in reality, it was extremely difficult.
The growth of heartforce wasn't about looking at other people's insights and gaining the same insights. It was a path of idealism, a path of solipsism.
When comprehending the Dao, one could look at the notes of predecessors and walk a similar path. But the path of heartforce was completely different. People with different personalities, even if their experiences were the same, would never be able to comprehend the same realm of heartforce. 'Empathy' was something that didn't exist on the path of heartforce.
"The Sovereign realm's heartforce can be considered to have reached its current limit." Zhou Tong sighed. With his foundation, he could have reached an even higher level, but he was stuck at a bottleneck.
That was the fourth level of heartforce – Mortal Dust.
Mortal Dust was the realization of one's own weakness and insignificance, and then a yearning to become stronger would be born.
This state of mind in the Shrouded Heaven World was' a speck of dust can fill the sea, a blade of grass can cut through the sun, moon, and stars'. When Zhou Tong had cultivated the Grass Symbol Sword Art, he had experienced this state of mind.
Logically speaking, with this state of mind, it should have been very simple to advance.
But heartforce was different.
What it required was that after reaching the Sovereign Realm, he would still be able to comprehend such a thing.
When one was young, when one was weak, who didn't have the ambition to 'raise their heart to the sky'? If this was all, if one could cultivate to the fourth level of heartforce with only a single state of mind, it would be far too simple.
The fourth level of heartforce required one to have such ambition after reaching the Sovereign realm.
But if one were to ask the world, which 'Sovereign' would sincerely admit that they were nothing more than a speck of dust fluttering in the wind? Who would admit that they were nothing more than a blade of grass on the side of the road?
Zhou Tong was naturally no exception.
In fact, his difficulty at this bottleneck was even greater than others'.
This was because he was an expert to begin with. He had the heart of an expert that surpassed countless others. To transform this heart of an expert into a mortal dust wasn't an ordinary difficulty. It was countless times more difficult than the countless people of this world.
"Is it even possible for the current me to transform my heart into a mortal dust?" Zhou Tong asked himself. It would be difficult for him to reach such a state.
This was because his original body had the true fate of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. After seeing the power of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, what kind of power could make him feel like a speck of dust?
