Yi Xin Daolord went into closed-door cultivation to verify Chen Zong's research and simulations that he had spent decades trying to make a breakthrough in Yi Xin Sutra.
Chen Zong, on the other hand, was cultivating while waiting.
Ten years passed in a flash, and Chen Zong was cultivating his sword techniques in Yi Xin Palace.
After decades of continuous cultivation, his Yi Xin Sword Technique and Sword Technique of the World improved to another level. Now, the power of each of his sword techniques was on par with mid-tier Sun-Class techniques, and it was terrifying.
The energy consumption of sword techniques was far less than that of ultimate techniques; it was less than one-tenth of the energy consumption. However, the power of sword techniques wasn't inferior to ultimate techniques at all. That was why it was so difficult to improve sword techniques.
Most of the level-5 sword techniques and saber techniques were on the level of star-class and moon-class techniques, and very few of them were on the level of Sun-class techniques. Even if there were, they were at the top of level-5.
Only in a situation like Chen Zong's would he be able to raise his sword arts to such a profound level. To be able to reach this level, other than his own comprehension and foundation, it was inseparable from the One Hearted Sutra.
Without the Yi Xin Sutra, it was unknown if he could improve his sword techniques to the level of Sun-class techniques, but the possibility wasn't high.
On the other hand, Chen Zong knew that while it was important to improve his sword techniques, he couldn't give up on learning ultimate techniques. Sword techniques were sword techniques, and ultimate techniques were ultimate techniques. Even if both techniques had the same power, ultimate techniques had advantages that sword techniques didn't have.
For example, range, distance, and so on.
Sword techniques were close combat techniques, and if the distance was increased, it would be hard to unleash the full power of the techniques. At this time, ultimate techniques were very important.
Therefore, while Chen Zong cultivated his sword techniques, he didn't give up on comprehending and cultivating ultimate techniques.
In addition, godly spells were also very important. They were trump cards, and they were trump cards that could allow one to defeat opponents who were more powerful than them.
While cultivating, Chen Zong waited for the results.
On the day when the tenth year was complete, which was also the tenth year since his master, Dao Lord Yi Xin, had broken through in seclusion, a mysterious and indescribable aura erupted from the depths of Yi Xin Palace. This aura was not the aura of cultivation, nor was it the aura of the Great Dao, nor was it the aura of the Essence, Qi, or Spirit. Instead, it was the fluctuation of the aura of the mind. It was illusory, as if it had come from the clouds.
"Did it work?" Chen Zong immediately sheathed his sword, his face full of joy.
The aura grew stronger and stronger, like an invisible beacon, it soared into the sky and spread out, engulfing the entire One Heart Palace.
Chen Zong was shocked by the power of this aura. At the same time, he was also affected by it, causing his mind to fluctuate.
After that, a figure appeared. It was Daolord Yi Xin.
"Congratulations, Master," Chen Zong said with a smile.
"Hahahaha." Daolord Yi Xin's face was full of joy. Originally, he only wanted to explore the path for Chen Zong, the disciple he was most satisfied with. He even had the thought of sacrificing himself. He did not expect that in the end, he would succeed in breaking through.
Of course, Daolord Yi Xin was also very clear that his breakthrough was inseparable from this disciple. If Chen Zong had not returned and studied the later stages of the One Heart Sutra together with him, combining many strange ideas with his own comprehension, he would not have been able to complete the deduction even if he had another thousand years.
Chen Zong and Daolord Yi Xin had previously named the fifth level of the One Heart Sutra Returning to Truth. As the name implied, it meant that when the One Heart Sutra was cultivated to the end, it would return to its original state.
The fifth level was also the end of the One Heart Sutra.
Now that Daolord Yi Xin had succeeded in breaking through, it proved that their decades of deduction and simulation had not been in vain. Soon, Daolord Yi Xin also told Chen Zong about his various experiences and experiences.
"Thank you, Master. I should also go into seclusion for a while," Chen Zong said to Daolord Yi Xin after listening to him. He saluted with his sword and went into seclusion.
Since Master had succeeded in breaking through, it was time for him to break through as well.
Daolord Yi Xin was very assured that Chen Zong would go into seclusion to break through. With his experience, coupled with Chen Zong's extraordinary talent, he would definitely succeed in breaking through. Daolord Yi Xin was very much looking forward to it.
The main purpose of his return was to study the later stages of the One Heart Sutra. Now that he was finally about to achieve it, Chen Zong could not help but feel a little excited.
He took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He had not really broken through yet. If he really wanted to be excited, he would have to wait until after the breakthrough.
The breakthrough of the fifth level of the One Heart Sutra was closely related to the 33 Heavens of the Heart Sutra. In Chen Zong and Daolord Yi Xin's deduction and simulation, the fifth level of the One Heart Sutra was actually to merge the essence of the 33 Heavens of the Heart Sutra with the essence of the first four levels of the One Heart Sutra to break through the limit and truly return to Truth.
This was not an easy task. First, it took decades of deduction and simulation. Then, Daolord Yi Xin spent another ten years to successfully break through. If Chen Zong wanted to break through, he would not be able to do it overnight.
However, with Daolord Yi Xin's experience, Chen Zong's breakthrough would be smoother.
The 33 Heavens of the Heart Sutra forged 33 Heart Palaces. At the same time, it allowed Chen Zong's mental strength to grow continuously, far surpassing others of the same cultivation level.
Now, the first step to breaking through was to shatter all 33 Heart Palaces. However, these Heart Palaces were built with mental strength. After they were shattered, they would naturally not be expelled. Instead, they would turn into the initial mental strength and stay in the body. Then, with the guidance of the One Heart Sutra, he would be able to control them and break through the limit.
It sounded simple and straightforward, but it was very difficult to actually do it. Shattering the Heart Palaces was extremely painful. It was difficult to bear, but he had to bear with it. It was like shattering his own heart.
In addition, there were many things to pay attention to and details that could not be described clearly with words.
As the Heart Palaces were shattered one after another, Chen Zong's body trembled unconsciously. His face turned pale, but he endured it.
Not long after, the thirty-three Heart Palaces were completely shattered, and a huge amount of mental energy was surging in his chest.
The Heart Palace, which was formed from the power of the mind, had been solidified and could not be used. However, after it was shattered, it turned into balls and was controlled by Chen Zong with great willpower. They fused with each other and merged with his originally enormous mind power. In an instant, the power of the mind power increased by several times.
That Mind Energy seemed to have transformed into a Mind Lake, and it swept up layer upon layer of ripples that cleansed the surroundings.
Without daring to pause or hesitate, Chen Zong immediately used the One Heart Sutra. At that moment, he activated the Thousand Intents of the Heart.
If he wanted to break through to the fifth layer, he had to do this. He had to break through and rebuild, returning to his original state.
Ever since Chen Zong had mastered the Thousand Intents of Heart, he had never truly activated it. This was because activating the Thousand Intents of Heart consumed too much of his mental strength. Moreover, he had never needed to activate the Thousand Intents of Heart to deal with any situation that he encountered.
This was also the reason why the master and disciple had given up on deducing the fifth level of the Myriad Concepts of One Heart after deducing it again and again.
The Thousand Intents of the Heart was the follow-up to the Thousand Intents of the Heart. It was like an increase from the Hundred Intents of the Heart to the Thousand Intents of the Heart. It was an increase in quantity.
However, Chen Zong could only maintain the Hundred Intents of the Heart for around a hundred breaths with his tremendous mental strength from before. If he activated the Thousand Intents of the Heart, he would not be able to maintain it for more than ten breaths before his mental strength was exhausted.
Of course, as Chen Zong's cultivation increased, his mental strength would increase as well. However, even if it constantly increased, the Thousand Intents of the Heart could not be maintained for long.
After all, until now, Chen Zong had no other way to improve his mental strength. He could only rely on the improvement of his cultivation to passively improve his mental strength.
If he really deduced the Thousand Intents of the Heart to the fifth layer, the consumption of his mental strength would undoubtedly be shocking when he activated it. With the total mental strength of Chen Zong at the fifth layer, it was simply not enough to activate it. He would not even be able to maintain it for a breath's time. In other words, Chen Zong had to break through to the sixth layer and increase his mental strength again before he could activate the Thousand Intents of the Heart. As for how long he could maintain it after activating it, it was unclear.
All in all, if he were to deduce the Thousand Intents of the Heart as the fifth layer, it would not be practical at all.
In the end, he would make a breakthrough and deduce another direction: Returning to his original state.
This would be a qualitative change and would also be the end of the Heart Sutra.
Under the Thousand Intents of the Heart, Chen Zong's mental strength was consumed at an alarming rate. Fortunately, his mental strength had increased by several times and could maintain it for more than twenty breaths' time.
Under the Thousand Intents of the Heart, Chen Zong felt very strange. It was as if there were thousands of consciousnesses operating at the same time. He could think in different directions and see through everything. This feeling was really indescribable and indescribable.
All the mysteries of his mental strength seemed to be seen through and controlled by Chen Zong. His mental strength was constantly being consumed. In the end, it was completely consumed. Chen Zong had no choice but to withdraw from the Thousand Intents of the Heart state and focus on recovering his mental strength.
Once, twice, thrice …
After his mental strength had recovered, Chen Zong activated the Thousand Intents of the Heart again and carefully perceived its mysteries. He repeatedly searched for the opportunity that would allow his Heart Sutra to break through.
The reason why his master, the Heart Sutra Master, took ten years to break through was because he spent most of his time searching for that opportunity. It took him more than nine years to truly find it and break through.
The Heart Sutra Master also shared his experience with Chen Zong so that Chen Zong could save a lot of time. After all, Heart Sutra Master had spent at least five of the ten years searching. It was not until five years later that he finally found the correct method.
Even with his master's experience, Chen Zong could not find that opportunity so easily.
On the hundredth time, Chen Zong finally found it. That strange fluctuation was like the fluctuation of a singularity. It was like the beginning of the universe, like the chaos where the heavens and earth were created.
Breakthrough!
In an instant, his mental strength vibrated at an astonishing speed. His powerful essence, qi, and spirit were also guided and started to circulate. In his chest, they began to shrink inwards.
Condense!
Return to his original state!
