Time passed.
Year after year passed. In the blink of an eye, it had been 3,300 years since Dongbo Xue Ying became a disciple of the Blood Blade Sect.
Within the chain of mountains behind the Crimson Stone Courtyard.
Jing Qiu, the Dragon Mountain Emperor, and the Scarlet Flame Monarch were currently walking within the mountain range, observing and listening to their surroundings.
"Over there!" Jing Qiu could vaguely hear something.
"Sou sou sou."
The three of them rapidly flew over. Soon, they saw a simple-looking black-robed Dongbo Xue Ying wielding a spear, stabbing it into a large tree in front of him. These trees … had been nurtured by the unique environment of the Bloodshed God Palace, and they were not ordinary species. Even if Dongbo Xue Ying were to chop them down with his axe, it would take him an hour to do so. Using the spear to stab them … he could stab them for an entire day, yet the trees remained standing.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The spear stabbed out again and again, each time with a powerful force.
"Don't disturb him," the Scarlet Flame Monarch solemnly said. "This time, Dongbo has been training his spear for ten years. I'm afraid he must have made some progress."
Jing Qiu watched from afar, revealing a smile. "He's been training his spear for ten years, and I didn't dare to send him a message lest I disturb him and destroy his cultivation heart realm. His true body is currently in closed-door cultivation … and I thought something unexpected had happened. Now that I know he's here, it's all good. "
"What do you think is the point of stabbing the trees time after time?" the Dragon Mountain Emperor muttered. "I can't see what use it has."
"Of course you can't. If you could, you wouldn't be a middle stage Deity," the Scarlet Flame Monarch teased.
The Dragon Mountain Emperor was speechless.
...
Dongbo Xue Ying was feeling very comfortable. He was displaying his spear techniques time after time, his power reserved. Every single spear strike landed on the trunk of the tree. Whenever a tree fell, Dongbo Xue Ying would move on to the next. He could feel his cultivation heart realm changing. He could feel that he was getting closer to what he had always wanted, what he wanted to grasp. Thus, he was not willing to stop.
So many years.
He had been trying to comprehend the Chaotic Deity Heart that Blood Blade had imparted to him. Time and time again, coupled with his many years of cultivation in the Sealed World Pagoda, he was getting closer and closer to breaking through that bottleneck.
Ever since he started his labor service, he liked to use a big tree to practice his marksmanship. At this time, he was more relaxed, and when he relaxed, he would have a flash of inspiration.
It was the same this time!
While pondering the secret technique of the Sealed World Pagoda and attacking the tree again and again, Dongbo Xue Ying suddenly sensed something and entered a special state. He was overjoyed and completely immersed himself in it.
At this time, displaying spear arts was a pleasure! Every spear strike was enjoyable, and he would adjust it whenever he felt that something was wrong.
"Hong ~ ~ ~"
Dongbo Xue Ying struck out with his spear once again. Even though the spear's power was restrained, when it struck the tree that was still intact, it exploded with a terrifying force. Boom! The towering tree suddenly exploded, turning into countless fragments. This scene shocked Jing Qiu and the others who had been watching from afar for six to seven years.
"Exhilarating." Dongbo Xue Ying's eyes lit up. He felt exhilarated, as if he had been suppressing it for countless years.
"Exhilarating, exhilarating! Throwing caution to the wind, hysterical, and completely erupting!" Dongbo Xue Ying's eyes lit up, and the Laws of Profound Mysteries began to gather around him. "Different grade one Deity Hearts lead to completely different directions. When I was young, I pursued perfect balance in my spear arts. Grasping the World Deity Heart was a piece of cake for me! But this has become the greatest obstacle for me in comprehending the Chaotic Deity Heart. "
The area around Dongbo Xue Ying started to collapse, and a black hole appeared.
The black hole appeared behind Dongbo Xue Ying, and everything around him was being devoured. Even the grass and trees were being devoured.
"This is —"
"Chaotic Deity Heart?"
"Dongbo has broken through?"
Jing Qiu, the Dragon Mountain Monarch, and the Scarlet Flame Monarch were overjoyed.
Dongbo Xue Ying, on the other hand, was immersed in joy. He could die without regrets after hearing about the Dao in the morning. Truly comprehending the Dao was filled with joy. No matter how much others said, it was still their opinion! Although Blood Blade's guidance was very detailed, it was useless. Just like how Blood Blade had given up everything for his wife, she was only a stage one World Deity with a weak mental state.
Cultivation could be guided by others, but one ultimately had to rely on oneself to walk the path. One had to rely on oneself to comprehend.
Dongbo Xue Ying was overjoyed and excited. He finally understood why he had been stuck at a bottleneck for so long, and why he had only broken through today.
"Different grade one Deity Hearts lead to completely different directions."
"The World Deity Heart uses the earth, fire, water, and wind as its foundation. With life energy, it can be balanced and harmonized. It is balanced, inclusive, and accommodating! "
"But the Chaotic Deity Heart is completely different! It definitely walks the path of extremes! "
Dongbo Xue Ying shook his head.
His master had guided him before, so he understood his own problems. But this kind of balanced and tolerant mentality was something that Dongbo Xue Ying had ever since he was young! When he practiced his spear arts, he had to polish his offensive and defensive spear arts in order to pursue a perfect balance. Although he was arrogant and aloof when dealing with others, he still maintained the most basic level of courtesy on the surface.
Everything was for the sake of balance … and this balance was something that came from his very bones.
It was not as if he knew what his problems were and could instantly change his attitude. When he was immersed in comprehending that secret art, especially when he was stabbing the tree with his spear, his mind would become empty, abandoning all external influences and breaking through all shackles. His mind would be as clear as a blank piece of paper. As he pondered over that secret art in the 351st level of the Sealed World Pagoda, he gradually began to break through the bottleneck. When he finally broke through, he comprehended everything.
"No wonder the World Deity Heart is so much weaker than the Chaotic Deity Heart in close combat." Dongbo Xue Ying revealed a smile. "The Chaotic Deity Heart is the most fundamental form of abandoning everything. It is a form of complete destruction."
Although they were in completely different directions.
Even though they had all reached grade one Deity Hearts on different paths, they were ultimately similar! This was also the reason why it was so easy for him to fuse many grade one Deity Hearts together. After all, they were part of the most fundamental form of the Laws of the World.
"Although the World Deity Heart is balanced and tolerant, it is precisely because everything should be tolerant. Even the most thorough destruction should be tolerated." The two grade one Deity Hearts in Dongbo Xue Ying's heart rapidly fused together. It was extremely fast, and there were no doubts. In just a few breaths of time, the two grade one Deity Hearts had naturally fused together into a perfect whole.
The aura around Dongbo Xue Ying also began to change. It began to contain a deeper layer of Laws of Profound Mysteries.
"He's broken through."
"Dongbo has broken through."
Jing Qiu, the Dragon Mountain Emperor, and the Scarlet Flame Monarch were all watching from afar. They could see that Dongbo Xue Ying was in the process of breaking through, so they did not dare to disturb him.
…
Within the Bloodshed God Palace, within a secret underground palace.
An enormous scarlet-red cauldron was burning fiercely. Outside the cauldron, the huge figure of Blood Blade was seated cross-legged, observing everything that was happening within the Cosmos Cauldron.
"Master." A majestic voice reverberated throughout the palace.
"Mn?" Blood Blade frowned. "What's the matter?"
This majestic voice belonged to the treasure spirit of the entire Bloodshed God Palace. Although the Bloodshed God Palace was huge, it was still a complete treasure. The treasure spirit was able to observe everything that was happening within it. In fact, if anyone came to visit, Blood Blade would forbid his subordinates from barging into his cultivation grounds. The treasure spirit would be the one to inform him! The treasure spirit was the only one who was truly loyal to him.
However, he had long since given the order not to disturb him unless there was something important.
"Master, you can take a look at your disciple, Dongbo Xue Ying," the majestic voice said.
"Oh?"
Blood Blade was somewhat puzzled. He had great trust in the treasure spirit, and with a single thought, he had covered the entire Bloodshed God Palace with his consciousness. Naturally, he had discovered Dongbo Xue Ying.
"He broke through?" Blood Blade remained calm. So what if he had broken through? He had only become a stage one World Deity after spending five thousand years or so.
But following that, Blood Blade frowned in disbelief. "Stage two?"
