(Little Rice Dumpling finally found a master!)
Wang Kun failed and stopped at the Sacred Heart Mountain, unable to reach the Heavenly Will Palace.
At Chen Zong's request, Elder Ma brought Wang Kun to meet with Chen Zong.
"Congratulations, Brother Chen." Wang Kun congratulated Chen Zong after knowing that he had passed the Sacred Mountain and had a chance to become a true disciple of the Heavenly Will Palace.
Unfortunately, he failed to reach the Sacred Mountain and had no fate with the Heavenly Will Palace.
Chen Zong didn't know what to say.
"Brother Chen, there's no need to worry. Since I'm here, I'm prepared to fail." Wang Kun smiled. "Besides, the Heavenly Will Palace doesn't forbid repeated attempts. Even if I fail this time, I'll try again until I succeed."
One had to admit that Wang Kun had a strong will in his heart.
That was good too.
"I hope you can succeed next time." Chen Zong smiled.
"Thank you." Wang Kun smiled and left.
Those who weren't from the Heavenly Will Palace had to stay.
Wang Kun didn't go far. His goal was to join the Heavenly Will Palace and become a true disciple. Although he failed, there was still a chance.
Thus, Wang Kun began to explore the Black and White World.
Due to the circulation of the Heart Sea, although the pattern was not fixed, at least after a period of calm, there would not be a second period of calm in a short period of time. During this period of time, Wang Kun would not wait outside the Heart Sea. Even if he waited, he would not be able to ascend the Sacred Mountain.
Only by traveling the world, sharpening one's Dao Heart, strengthening one's body and mind would there be hope.
Other than Chen Zong, there was another person who succeeded. It was the middle-aged man with the saber. Although it was difficult, he still managed to reach the top.
"Trying three times is not bad. You can be a reserve true disciple. Whether you can become a true disciple or not depends on your future performance." Elder Ma smiled. Chen Zong heard it too.
Reserve true disciple!
It seemed that things weren't as simple as he thought.
"Now, I'll take you to see the Heart Dao Sovereign." Elder Ma smiled.
With a wave of his hand, it was as if heaven and earth had been swapped. Chen Zong felt as if his vision had been plunged into darkness, but at the same time, he felt as if he had suddenly seen light.
This was in front of another palace.
"Elder Ma Xuewen of the Outer Palace greets the Heart Holy Woman. I have something to report." Elder Ma stood in front of the palace and bowed.
However, not a single sound came from within the palace.
"Come in." After a long while, a faintly discernible voice sounded directly in Elder Ma's heart. However, Chen Zong was completely unaware of it.
"Let's go," Elder Ma said to Chen Zong immediately.
Following Elder Ma, Chen Zong also walked into the palace. A unique aura spread out, as if it went straight into the depths of Chen Zong's heart.
The Heart Sutra started to run on its own without his control. In an instant, Chen Zong felt as if he had become one with the aura of the palace.
Vaguely, Chen Zong seemed to hear some surprised voices, which instantly woke him up.
"Elder Ma, who is this junior?" Although he did not see the person, he heard the voice first. The voice seemed to be drifting, but also extremely condensed. It went straight to the heart.
"My Lord, this junior is Chen Zong. He has just crossed the Heart Sea. The ghosts in the Heart Sea could not do anything to him. He has also gone through the Divine Mountain's interrogation and the Lightless Path. He is a new successor disciple." Elder Ma replied respectfully.
There was a lot of information in it, which made Chen Zong ponder carefully.
Crossing the Heart Sea, Divine Mountain's interrogation, Lightless Path …
It seemed that apart from crossing the Heart Sea, the down-and-out middle-aged man was different from him.
However, Elder Ma also said that the down-and-out middle-aged man was a reserve successor disciple, while he was a new successor disciple.
"A person who was born with a strong mind …" He seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be asking.
"Replying to the Dao Sovereign, it's hard to say whether or not he was born with a strong will. However, he did receive the first few transformations of our Heavenly Will Palace, as well as the inheritance of the Dao Sovereign's One Heart Sutra." As soon as Elder Ma finished speaking, a figure appeared before the two of them.
This person was dressed in a loose black and silver robe. He did not look like an old man, but looked to be in his forties. His expression was calm, and under the loose black and silver robe, his body did not seem to exist. It was very strange.
The moment this person appeared, a glint flashed across his eyes on his indifferent face. Soon after, a crack opened between his brows and a ray of golden light shot out. That golden light instantly swept past Chen Zong.
Chen Zong felt as if he was seen through, and the speed of the One Heart Mantra increased.
"There is indeed the One Heart Mantra and the Heart Yin Treasure Robe." The vertical crack between the eyebrows of the One Heart Holy Man closed, and his tone was neither fast nor slow. "Many years ago, I once traveled the Void and left behind a few inheritances. Since you are able to receive them, it can be said that you are fated with me. But where did you receive them?"
The One Heart Holy Man's words made Chen Zong's heart skip a beat.
Previously, he thought of coming to the Heavenly Palace of Will first, and then looking for the Tianyuan Sacred Region, which was also the Lingwu Sacred World. He thought of all kinds of possibilities, and even thought of looking for the Void Temple.
But now he thought of one thing. Since the One Heart Holy Man, who was now the One Heart Holy Man, had left the One Heart Mantra in the Tianyuan Sacred Region, he must have been to the Tianyuan Sacred Region, which was also known as the Lingwu Sacred World.
If that was the case, if he wanted to go back, he could ask the One Heart Holy Man for help.
"In reply to the One Heart Holy Man, I came from the Lingwu Sacred World." Chen Zong replied honestly as he stared at the One Heart Holy Man to see his reaction.
"The Lingwu Sacred World …" The One Heart Holy Man frowned when he heard this, as if he was deep in thought. After all, he had lived for many years, experienced many things, and traveled to many places in the Void. His memory was too vast.
If it was something that left a deep impression on him, or something that happened recently, he could easily recall it. However, if it was something that happened a long time ago, or something that was not particularly important, he had to think about it first.
This was a very normal thing to do, especially for cultivators who had lived for a long time and experienced more things.
Chen Zong was not in a hurry, and Elder Ma stood by the side without saying anything.
After a while, the One Heart Holy Man relaxed his brows and said, "The Lingwu Sacred World, I have some impression of it. It is only a Secondary World, and has some potential. I once cultivated in that world for a few years, and gained some enlightenment. Hence, I left behind the One Heart Mantra and a Heart Seal Robe as a reward."
As he said, the One Heart Holy Man looked at Chen Zong again and smiled. "I did not expect that someone in that world could obtain the Opportunity Inheritance that I left behind, and cultivate it successfully, stepped into the Void, and came to the Black and White World. You really have a great affinity with the Heavenly Palace of Will."
"The One Heart Mantra is a skill that I created after comprehending the 33 Levels of Will. It can be considered as a unique skill of my lineage." The One Heart Holy Man stared at Chen Zong, and his gaze was solemn and serious. "Since you can obtain the One Heart Mantra, and cultivate it successfully, and come before me, you have a great affinity with me."
He paused for a moment.
"I would like to take you as my disciple. Are you willing?" The One Heart Holy Man said at last.
Chen Zong's heart skipped a beat, and Elder Ma was slightly shocked. Perhaps this new disciple Chen Zong did not know the name of the One Heart Holy Man, but he was very clear about it.
To be valued by the One Heart Holy Man and to take the initiative to take him as his disciple, what an honor. If it were him, he would immediately take him as his master without hesitation. Now that he saw that Chen Zong was not moving, and seemed to be thinking, he was very angry and anxious.
However, he could not make the decision for Chen Zong.
The cultivation of the Heavenly Palace of Will depended on one's heart, and it depended on fate.
If he refused, it would mean that Chen Zong was not fated to be the One Heart Holy Man.
Chen Zong was thinking. Taking a master was not a child's play.
Since he started cultivating, he had received guidance from some people, and there were some who wanted to take him as their disciple. Some of them had good intentions, and some of them had bad intentions.
He had also taken others as his master.
When Chen Zong had received the inheritance of the Change of Will, a thought had been born in the depths of his heart, a thought that had been hidden in the depths of his heart.
That was to enter the Will Heavenly Palace, and take the master of the Will Heavenly Palace as his master.
After that, he received the One Heart Mantra inheritance, and now, he was facing the creator of the One Heart Holy Man. It was indeed fate.
To take him as his disciple!
Chen Zong found that there was no resistance in his heart. On the contrary, there was a feeling of anticipation.
"Disciple Chen Zong pays his respects to master."
In an instant, everything became clear. Chen Zong did not hesitate and bowed down directly.
"Congratulations, Holy Man, for taking in a good disciple." Elder Ma quickly smiled.
"Rise. You are now the fifth true disciple of the One Heart Holy Man." The Wholehearted Holy Man's face was also full of smiles, as if he was overjoyed. His wide sleeves fluttered even though there was no wind. "My Heavenly Palace has a rule. After becoming a Successor Disciple, you have to go out and experience the world. You can only be bestowed with a title when you return.
Chen Zong nodded. He did not know what a title was. After all, he had just joined the Will Heavenly Palace.
"You have just joined the Will Heavenly Palace, so you don't know much about the Heavenly Palace. But don't worry, there are not many rules here. You will understand soon." The One Heart Holy Man smiled.
"Holy Man, young friend, I will take my leave first." Elder Ma was tactful. Since he had already taken Chen Zong as his master, the rest of the time belonged to the master and disciple. It was not appropriate for him to stay any longer.
Chen Zong bowed to Elder Ma, and the latter left. Only Chen Zong and the One Heart Holy Man were left in the palace.
"Disciple, follow me." The Single Hearted Holy Man waved his wide sleeves and swept up Chen Zong. In an instant, he appeared at the peak of a mountain in the next breath.
Looking down, there was only a vast sea of clouds. There was nothing else.
Chen Zong was very surprised and found it hard to understand. Could this be the peak of the Divine Heart Mountain?
But he felt that it was not. It was strange.
"Sit." The One Heart Holy Man pointed and a futon appeared on the peak.
"Sometimes, what you see may not be the truth." The One Heart Holy Man seemed to know Chen Zong's surprise and said with a smile. He did not have the cold look he had when they first met.
Chen Zong did not know what to say. He realized that after coming to the Will Heavenly Palace, there were many things that he could not see through.
It was as if his heart was covered by a layer of fog, but he did not have a bad feeling.
