In the remote mountains, the vitality was thin. Birds and beasts were nowhere to be seen, and traces of humans were scarce. There was only one figure standing upright with a sword in his hand. His back was straight, and he was like a sharp sword pointing to the sky.
Chen Zong's eyes were extremely bright, like the sun shining in all directions. His heart was full of hope. In his mind, countless inspirations emerged. These inspirations became clearer and clearer, making Chen Zong more determined on his path.
The Heart Sutra was constantly running, and the strong power of mind was also fluctuating.
Ever since Chen Zong obtained the Heart Sutra, he had been practicing it. From the initial Realm of One Mind to Ten Intents, to One Hundred Intents, to One Thousand Intents. After that, he specially returned to the void to find his master, Yi Xin Dao Master, to study and discuss together. Based on his grandmaster's experience, he deduced the fifth realm of the Heart Sutra: the Realm of Wholehearted Sincerity!
The Realm of Wholehearted Sincerity meant the limit of the Heart Sutra. At least, Chen Zong and Yi Xin Dao Master thought so.
However, after Chen Zong mastered the Realm of Wholehearted Sincerity, he continued to train and improve himself. Gradually, he felt that the Realm of Wholehearted Sincerity of the Heart Sutra did not seem to be the end. There was still the possibility of further improvement.
However, Chen Zong did not know how to improve, because the Realm of Wholehearted Sincerity was the result of continuous discussion with his master, Yi Xin Dao Master, based on his grandmaster's experience. If he wanted to continue improving, the difficulty would be ten times greater.
Until now, by chance, Chen Zong grasped that little bit of inspiration and expanded it. Only then did there was hope.
"Since I've come this far, I have no way back." Chen Zong said to himself in a determined tone.
At this point, no matter what the reason was, it was a fact that he had lost his cultivation, the Great Way, and the Sky Sword was damaged. The fact was that it had happened to him. No matter what he said, it was meaningless.
Even though he had a burst of inspiration and was now more confident, it was still not 100%. However, Chen Zong could only take the risk.
If he succeeded, he would embark on his own path and walk on his own magnificent Sword Way. If he failed, it would not be worse than now.
In that case, what would the next level of the One Heart Sutra be?
As the spiritual light appeared, the One Heart Sutra would replace all other cultivation techniques, and the original auxiliary cultivation technique would become the main cultivation technique. In other words, once he successfully broke through, he would not be able to cultivate any other cultivation techniques, even if he had the opportunity to obtain a better cultivation technique than the Divine Demon Sword Codex.
For a long time, ever since he obtained the Heart Sutra, he had used it as an auxiliary skill. Now, it was mainly used as an auxiliary skill.
In that case, how could he break through the limits of the One Heart Sutra, break through to a higher realm, and become the main support?
What Chen Zong wanted to do was to activate the Heart Returning to Nature Realm of the Heart Sutra.
Chen Zong had "seen" the collapse of stars, the collapse of the world, the sudden changes of heaven and earth, and so on. All of these gave him inspiration at this moment.
Under the Wholehearted Pure Realm, a powerful Mind Energy circulated in his body endlessly. It was like a whirlpool that spun endlessly. It was like a river that flowed endlessly. It was like the surging waves of the sea that flowed endlessly. His aura was extremely vigorous.
Chen Zong broke out a strong will, forcibly stopping the mind power of the Heart Returning to Nature Realm from rotating, and then, it started rotating in the opposite direction.
Reversing the Heart Returning to Nature Realm!
This was the way Chen Zong thought of to break the limits of the One Heart Sutra and the Heart Returning to Nature Realm.
Reversing the Heart Returning to Nature Realm was extremely difficult. It was like forcibly moving a mountain. Chen Zong's expression changed greatly, and he seemed to have exhausted all his strength. His forehead was covered with blue veins, and he clenched his teeth so hard that they almost broke.
It moved!
Under Chen Zong's incomparable efforts, the power of the Heart Returning to Nature Realm slowly started rotating in the opposite direction. As soon as it started rotating, Chen Zong's body trembled unconsciously. He only felt that his internal organs, bones, muscles, and even skin were all hit by a strong force, as if they were about to be crushed.
His whole body seemed to be completely crushed and directly crushed into pieces.
It was simply impossible to imagine such a feeling. However, Chen Zong's body was unscathed. The feeling of being crushed into powder was a direct effect on Chen Zong's Divine Will. It was a feeling in his mind.
Reversing!
Reversing bit by bit, all the strength in his body seemed to be sucked into it.
In the next moment, Chen Zong only felt that his mind trembled, and his essence, qi, and spirit were all absorbed and out of his control.
It was out of control!
Chen Zong's expression changed greatly.
It was out of control. Once it was out of control, everything that followed would no longer be under his control.
Under the loss of control, the power of the Heart Returning to Nature Realm was like a runaway wild horse, becoming crazy. Its reversing speed suddenly increased by more than ten times. His body seemed to be crushed inch by inch, and even his Divine Soul was the same. The pain was crazily sweeping over him, and it was several times worse than before.
"Am I going to fail?" This thought flashed through Chen Zong's mind.
Once it failed, according to the current situation, the consequences would be very serious. His essence, qi, spirit, and Divine Soul would be severely damaged.
Sure enough, it was not easy to find one's own path. It was too difficult, especially when it was an unprecedented path. It was a path that no one had ever walked before. It meant that he had to create a new path by himself, without any experience to refer to.
A sudden change occurred!
The Taihao Spirit Fire that had been in Chen Zong's Spirit Sea suddenly swayed as if it was swaying in the wind. It directly turned into a beam of light and entered Chen Zong's body.
Chen Zong's expression changed greatly. At this moment, the mind power, essence, qi, spirit, and Divine Soul of the Heart Returning to Nature Realm in his body were all in chaos. They kept colliding with each other, as if Chen Zong's body was the battlefield. Chen Zong felt that his body was collapsing from the deepest part of his body.
Now, the Taihao Spirit Fire took the opportunity to join in the battle, making the conflict even more intense.
"This time, I've been too careless." Chen Zong couldn't help but smile bitterly. His consciousness was getting more and more blurry. Soon, the bitter smile turned into a touch of determination. "Since it's like this, I don't care. I'll give it my all. If I fail, it's okay. But if I succeed …"
With his last consciousness, Chen Zong raised the Heavenly Will Sword in his hand. It was gray and full of cracks. Although it looked like the sword would break with a little force, in fact, it was not. The sword's material was extremely tough. It was not that easy to break.
Chen Zong raised the sword high. Then, he stabbed it down. The target was his own body. It pierced through his chest.
His body was no longer the same as before. The Heavenly Will Sword easily pierced through his body until only the hilt was left.
When the Heavenly Will Sword pierced through his body, the four conflicting forces in Chen Zong's body seemed to be disturbed. They became more and more violent.
Chaos!
The inside of his body was getting more and more chaotic.
"I've formed my own Dao …" With a last glimmer of hope, Chen Zong's consciousness sank. He fainted. But his whole body was still. His body was as straight as a sword. He was motionless, as if he had taken root in the ground.
But when he opened his eyes, they were blank. There was no light. It was as if he had lost his soul.
In Chen Zong's body, the four forces were constantly clashing and exploding. Again and again, and at his chest, there was a sword hilt. No matter how you looked at it, it was strange.
His body was the battlefield, and all his powers were madly fighting and killing each other. They were also constantly being consumed, and as they were consumed, a new strand of power was born. When the new strand of power appeared, it revealed its extraordinary power and began to nibble away at other powers step by step. As it devoured other powers, the new strand of power also grew stronger and stronger.
The sword in Chen Zong's body seemed to be melting under the new force. It melted inch by inch. After it melted, it merged into Chen Zong's body.
The sun rose and the moon set. Night and day alternated. Chen Zong was still standing, as if he had turned into a statue.
The scorching sun hung high in the sky, shining down, bringing with it an astonishing heat. After that, the autumn wind rustled, incomparably bleak. A cold and solemn aura permeated between heaven and earth. After that, the cold wind blew, like wind blades, bringing with it an astonishing chill, like frost swords.
Snowflakes drifted down. They fell on the mountain and also on Chen Zong's body. Slowly, they covered him.
Spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The four seasons rotated.
One year, two years, three years …
The thick snow began to melt. It was the arrival of spring.
After the snow melted, Chen Zong's body was revealed once again. The sword hilt in his chest had disappeared at some point in time. His entire body was devoid of any aura, as if he was dead.
Suddenly, an indescribable breath spread from Chen Zong's body. It was as if all living things had come back to life. The sound of a heartbeat was heard.
Thump … Thump … Thump …
It was as if a giant beast had awakened. The sound of his heartbeat became more obvious, like the beating of a drum.
Chen Zong's skin was originally grayish-white, as if it had been smeared with a layer of lime. As his heart beat, the grayish-white color gradually receded and was replaced by a vibrant color. Gradually, his skin became ruddy.
His dull gray eyes gradually lit up. It was as if a group of stars were blooming and condensing.
As his eyes moved, Chen Zong's neck moved. He lowered his head to look at his body. He raised his hands and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
The feeling was indescribable. It was very strange.
Immediately, Chen Zong checked himself. It was a good thing that he was still alive. But what about the rest?
Was the breakthrough of the One Heart Sutra a success or a failure?
If it was a success, what kind of changes would it bring to him?
Although Chen Zong had speculated before, it was just speculation. After all, it was not the truth.
After carefully feeling it, Chen Zong looked surprised and doubtful. It seemed that it was indeed different from his speculation. Without testing it, Chen Zong did not know whether it was good or bad.
But then again, he was still alive. His breakthrough should be a success. This was a good thing.
