2000 years, 2100 years, 2200 years …
The crystal melded more and more with his soul, and the tearing of his soul grew stronger and stronger. This wasn't the so-called pain, but the true tearing. At the end, if he couldn't withstand it, his entire soul would be torn apart! However, the closer he got to his limit, the purer his heart was, the better the training was, and his improvement speed was faster.
2,300 years, 2,400 years, 2,500 years, 2,600 years …
"It's been 2,600 years."
Within the many sealed stars surrounding the shrine, Pu Ti sat crossed legged, gazing down at Luo Feng who was drenched in sweat and blood. Under the intense pain, even drops of blood seeped out. Luo Feng's entire body was trembling. However, one could see a sense of determination in his eyes, not shaken by the soul-destroying pain.
"Of the first two candidates, one lasted for 2600 years, while the other lasted for 3300 years."
"The first two were both Heavenly Sons of their generation. They were both incomparably outstanding elites and peerless figures of the Earth lineage. In terms of opportunities, the first candidate was the strongest. His state of mind could be considered to be 'the heart of a child', but he perished after 2,600 years. The second candidate was the weakest of the three, even weaker than Luo Feng. He had more hardships, but his heart had reached the state of being able to tolerate everything. Eventually, he too fell. "
"In the history of earth, there were many with high levels of heart states. Countless at the 1st level, many at the 2nd and many at the 3rd level."
Pu Ti sighed.
His teacher, the great being that had nurtured the earth race had once said …
The 3 levels of heart states, there was no difference in level, they actually represented 3 different paths.
Understanding one's nature, going straight for one's heart, being firm and believing in oneself, this was a strong heart, one that recognized oneself as the strongest! No matter what one faced, one had to firmly believe in oneself, never wavering. However, this path was also the hardest. Not relying on external factors, one had to stay true to one's heart.
To put it bluntly, it was extremely stubborn and stubborn. Such a person would easily fall and suffer.
And the true ones naturally wouldn't follow the crowd. They all had firm hearts, and even if they were cursed and scolded by billions, they would still persevere. This path was the hardest and most difficult …
'The combination of Yin and Yang, the heart of a pure child'. A pure heart, the unity of man and nature.
Such a person could earn the respect and trust of countless people. It was very difficult to hate such a person. They could see through the hearts of millions of ordinary living beings. In history, they were more often called 'saints'.
"The heart encompasses everything and the universe." They believed even more strongly in the vastness of the universe and that they could not surpass everything in the outside world. They were unwilling to just resign themselves to adversity and become one with the world. What they wanted to do was to be tolerant, to be tolerant of everything.
Such an expert was very ambitious.
He had boundless ambition, and his faith was terrifyingly firm.
…
There were three paths.
The reason why the Earth was considered to be higher and higher was because the Earth lineage had yet to give birth to a true almighty.
Throughout history, there were many people who understood their true nature, those who persisted in their true nature, or rather, those who were extremely stubborn, who experienced great ups and downs after falling down time and time again … They, who had long seen through people's hearts, finally came to the realization that the combination of Yin and Yang was the Dao. Completely persisting in one's true nature was too extreme.
Therefore, there was the Oneness of Heaven and Man and the so-called Perfection.
At this time, they would not suffer any more hardships, nor would they break their heads. Instead, they would be worshipped by countless people.
…
After walking on the second path for a long time and reaching perfection for a long time, they would have a deeper desire.
They were unwilling to accept the Oneness of Heaven and Man. They wanted to be able to tolerate the Heavens. This was the third level.
In the history of the Earth lineage, those who had reached the third level, whether it was a country or a religion, almost all of them stood at the pinnacle of the world. Because of their extremely strong hearts and hearts that could tolerate everything, they could withstand any setback and improve under any adversity.
Maybe their body aptitude was not as good as others, but slow and steady improvement, eternal improvement, would allow them to reach the pinnacle in the end!
…
The three paths, in terms of success and recognition.
The third path was the strongest, followed by the second, and the first path was the most bumpy.
Therefore, generations of sages in the history of the Earth had this understanding … It was like looking at the sky from the bottom of a well. If one reached the level of a great being of another race … or a universe supreme master, they would sneer. It was just that the path they persisted in was different. What was the point of comparing who was better?
…
"To be able to persist for over 2,600 years, his heart is indeed terrifyingly firm." Pu Ti thought. "Against such soul tearing pain, one indeed has to have a completely firm heart. Only with an incomparably firm willpower would one be able to last longer. It all depends on … just how strong his heart is."
There were many people in the history of China with integrity. However, under torture, they all confessed.
No matter how loyal they were, it could only be said that they hadn't reached the limit of the pain and the methods weren't vicious enough. If it was like this sort of pain that came from the depths of the soul, over thousands of years … who could withstand it? The normal heroes, just a few thousand years of loneliness was enough to make them go crazy, much less such torture …
*****
While Luo Feng was enduring such torture, his willpower was terrifyingly firm. He wasn't affected at all, his heart was pure as he studied the Beast god path.
In the 2,800th year …
Waves of extreme pain finally disrupted Luo Feng's study of the Beast god path.
"Don't try to disturb me."
"Howl!"
Within the internal world, the Golden horned beast was still immersed in the Beast god statue, simultaneously imitating it.
Just like the scientists on earth, even if they were tortured by the pain, they would still endure the cold sweat and continue to study. Even though they would still be affected by the pain, interrupting their study. However Luo Feng, who had been immersed in his study for over 2,000 years, had completely sunk in. Even if there were disturbances, he would suppress them time and time again!
Interrupt with the pain? Suppress it and study the Beast god path himself!
Interrupt the study? Suppress!
Interrupt the study? Suppress!
An absolutely sincere heart would produce miraculous strength at the most dangerous times. Every time it was interrupted, he would suppress it time and time again. In truth, every time he suppressed it, his heart would stabilize a little more. Every time it improved a little, every time it improved a little … this improvement speed was much faster than before.
Just like that … Luo Feng actually managed to endure it again.
2,900 years, 3,000 years, 3,100 years, 3,200 years …
This kind of oppressive pain would only increase in frequency as the process progressed. Ultimately, the power unleashed by one's soul would not be able to match the 'intense pain' that was constantly increasing. As long as the fusion continued, the intense pain of the soul being torn apart would continue to increase and would never stop. It was as if there was a road roller advancing at a steady speed behind him. A person might be able to run, but in the end, they would be tired and unable to run anymore. No matter how strong their will was … they would still be unable to run. There was a limit, and the result was … they would be crushed into meat paste!
"Can't hold on anymore?" Pu Ti sat crossed legged and gazed down. His entire body was trembling, his skin was covered in cracks, his face was twitching, sometimes in pain, sometimes in madness, sometimes in stubbornness …
His entire body was trembling crazily.
"I'm tired."
"Child, it's fine if you can't hold on."
"If you fall, even if your teacher doesn't revive you, just based on your willpower, I'll reverse time and space to revive you. You may lose a lot, however … the most basic master recognition of the star tower is simply too hard. Back then when the tower was being forged, it melded with a mysterious colored light. Even teacher didn't have confidence in it. Maybe … no matter how exceptional the earth race is, they still won't be able to recognize it. If the first three all fail, then the fourth, fifth … and so on, who knows when teacher will change his mind and stop insisting on the star tower. "
Pu Ti sighed.
He was a universe master, one of the pinnacle beings of the vast universe. He could see through Luo Feng's soul, naturally he knew that Luo Feng was already at his limit.
"Don't disturb me!"
"Don't disturb me!!!" Luo Feng who was fully focused on studying the beast god path was interrupted by the terrifying pain time and time again. The frequency of interruptions was simply too high. His willpower howled, "Don't disturb me, no one can disturb me, no one!!!"
Rumble!
A huge change!
If one were to say that Luo Feng's willpower and consciousness was like a crystal before, sparkling and sharp, after 3,200 years of refinement, his willpower and consciousness had become even more condensed and pure, becoming a smaller and denser crystal. However, when it reached a certain point, it was like a star transforming into a neutron star.
His willpower and consciousness suddenly soared to an inconceivable degree!
The crystal seemed to have been instantly compressed into an atomic nucleus.
"Continue." Luo Feng had a feeling that when he trained his running and movement to the limit, he would exceed his limits and feel incredibly relaxed. It was the same feeling! The intense pain from before kept interrupting his study. Finally, when he reached his limit, the pain was completely suppressed and he no longer had any strength to resist.
...
"What!"
Within the shrine, Pu Ti had been observing everything. He could see through Luo Feng's soul, naturally he discovered the change.
"Why did he suddenly change?"
"How can this happen? The previous two candidates didn't do this. Especially the second candidate, he lasted for 3,300 years before falling, and this didn't happen either." Pu Ti was suddenly stunned. "Right, the first two candidates, one had a pure heart and the other had a heart that accepted everything. Their method of resisting the pain was different from Luo Feng's. The pure heart would be familiar with the pain and become a part of it. The one with a heart that accepted everything … even the pain. However, the first two were wrong … they weren't wrong in that the pain wasn't on the spirit level. Instead, the crystal was truly absorbing the soul. This wasn't an illusion, it was reality! "
"Maybe their method allowed them to unleash their soul to the limit, not being affected by the pain."
"However, if they didn't resist, there would be no pressure. Their pressure on the willpower and consciousness wasn't enough. Because they absorbed it, they accepted it. "
"And this Luo Feng chose to resist! Completely resisting the pain, suppressing the pain, definitely not absorbing it, definitely not accepting it. "
"Maybe Luo Feng is in more pain."
"But isn't this also a kind of cultivation to 'harden one's heart and temper one's heart'? Suppressing the willpower and consciousness to the limit, it finally caused a change, and his willpower and consciousness had a huge leap. "Pu Ti exclaimed.
A huge leap gave Luo Feng a lot of leeway.
3,300 years … 3,900 years …
4,000 years …
4,300 years … 4,900 years …
The absorption of the crystal continued, and the soul tearing pain steadily increased. Even though Luo Feng had made a huge leap before, after close to 2,000 years, he was once again close to his limit.
"Is there no way for the star tower to recognize an owner?"
"The first 3,200 years is only the first half?" The universe master Pu Ti was shocked, because the longest in history was 3,300 years. No one knew how long it would take for the star tower to recognize an owner.
No one had done it.
No one knew the limit … whether it was Pu Ti or the great being from the other race, they didn't know.
"If Luo Feng fails, which of the later candidates from earth will succeed?" Pu Ti's face was filled with worry and anxiety.
