Chapter 299: Xin Ling’s Cultivation Purpose! Re-entering the Spiritual Realm!
Su Shi was also stunned.
The scene on the cliff was clearly visible in his eyes.
The young man standing on the mountaintop exuded a vigorous aura, with the Milky Way and stars flowing behind him, and his purple eyes flickering with a faint light. Although he still appeared young and naive, he emitted a strong oppressive pressure like an emperor.
Every move and gesture he made seemed to shatter the Dao meaning of 225 paths, displaying his divine power.
It was indeed him, but why did it appear in Xin Ling’s Dao heart?
Moreover, Xin Ling had never witnessed his supernatural powers, yet the cliff showcased the will of the stars and the aura of a true dragon.
Could it be that she could foresee the future?
Looking at Su Shi’s puzzled expression, Sikong Lanyue said, “The images in the Dao heart are the result of the resonance between will and Dao. There are no secrets at all.”
Su Shi suddenly realized.
The scenes on the cliff were not Xin Ling’s imagination, but concrete manifestations based on her Dao heart.
“In other words, as my realm improves, Xin Ling’s Dao heart undergoes corresponding changes?”
Sikong Lanyue nodded, and Su Shi’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
“Then what if I die?”
Sikong Zhuoyue said with a similar expression, “Then Xin Ling’s Dao heart will be completely destroyed, and there will be no way forward for her anymore.”
“What?”
Su Shi’s expression was stunned.
Although he was now the number one genius in the Nine Regions, the path of immortality was filled with thorns, and no one knew what would happen in the future.
The most abundant resource in this world was talented individuals.
From ancient times to the present, the more arrogantly they rose, the more silently they fell. In the end, those who could ascend to the pinnacle and prove their supreme Dao strength were only a few.
Now, he had only just started on the path of immortality, and Xin Ling’s Dao heart had become his visualized image.
This was nothing short of risking her own future for him!
Sikong Lanyue helplessly said, “With the majority of people’s Dao hearts, of course, we use the heavens, earth, sun, moon, and even beasts as visualizations, but using ‘humans’ as the visualization is too risky. Even the strongest will eventually fall. Let alone a young person who has just set foot on the immortal path, with only twenty years of life experience. It is simply a silent tragedy.”
After a moment of silence, Su Shi asked, “Is there any way to change the Dao heart?”
Sikong Lanyue shook her head and said, “The resonance between the Dao heart and the Great Dao is a mysterious thing. How can it be easily changed?”
Zhan Qingchen’s situation is rare, and even Sikong Lanyue doesn’t know how to explain it.
“So, Xin Ling needs to work hard in her cultivation and live well.”
Looking at Xin Ling’s expressionless eyes, Su Shi was momentarily speechless.
The scene on the cliff slowly disappeared as Xin Ling slowly opened her eyes and looked at the bewildered crowd.
Su Shi became nervous all of a sudden, thinking that she might have failed the test.
“You have already gained the recognition of the Wendao Cliff,” Zhan Qingchen’s tone paused. “But your Dao heart is a bit strange…”
Xin Ling scratched her head. She had just blanked out and didn’t know what had happened.
Zhan Qingchen couldn’t help but ask, “When you were cultivating the door of Dao methods and the foundation of Dao, what were the visions in your mind?”
Xin Ling was taken aback for a moment and hesitantly said, “Master said that in order to comprehend the Great Dao, one must first understand the purpose of their cultivation, and my purpose is … ”
Zhang Qingchen furrowed her eyebrows. “Your purpose in cultivation is for… Su Shi?”
“How… how do you know?”
Xin Ling’s words blurted out, and she covered her mouth. “I’m sorry, I spoke out of turn!”
Seeing her flustered, Zhan Qingchen suddenly realized.
No wonder Xin Ling would have such grand Dao visions. It turned out that when she was rebuilding her foundation, her mind was filled with Su Shi.
“Junior Sister Xin is truly exceptional.” Zhan Qingchen’s tone became gentle.
Xin Ling’s cheeks turned slightly red, and she stuttered, not knowing how to explain. In the past, she might have admitted it openly.
But now that she knew about Suyi and Zhan Qingchen’s relationship, she couldn’t help but feel slightly embarrassed.
At this moment, Sikong Lanyue and Su Shi approached.
“Master.”
Both of them bowed and greeted. Sikong Lanyue said calmly, “Xin Ling, you did well. Since you have passed the test at the Wendao Cliff, you will have more confidence in climbing the path of immortality in the future.”
“It’s all thanks to Master’s teachings.” Xin Ling replied humbly.
Her eyes swept past Su Shi and then quickly averted, not daring to meet his gaze. Sikong Lanyue nodded and said, “Alright, all of you go and continue your cultivation.”
“Yes.” Zhan Qingchen glanced at Su Shi with a faint smile and then turned and left with Xin Ling.
After the test ended, the elders dispersed one by one.
However, judging from the curious and gossipy expressions on their faces, it was clear that they were very curious about the relationship between Xin Ling and Su Shi.
What kind of relationship could make them leave such an impression on their Dao hearts? Could it be that the two disciples of the sect are all involved in a romantic relationship with Su Shi?
Soon, the Wendao Cliff quieted down.
Only Sikong Lanyue and Su Shi remained.
Sikong Lanyue glanced at him and said, “When you asked me to take Xin Ling as my disciple, you only mentioned that you two were friends.”
Su Shi cleared his throat and said, “Ahem, indeed, we are just friends.” Sikong Lanyue snorted coldly and said, “Do you think I’m a fool? Who would consider a friend as a heavenly Dao visualization?”
“It seems that Qingchen’s words were correct. There must be something more to the relationship between Xin Ling and Su Shi.” Sikong Lanyue sighed inwardly.
Zhan Qingchen had already caused her a lot of trouble. Now, both of her disciples are involved with Su Shi…
Su Shi quickly changed the topic and said, “Daoist Master, everyone has left. Why are we still here?”
Sikong Lanyue snapped back to reality and said, “You should be able go to the Spiritual Realm for cultivation now, right?”
Su Shi suddenly remembered this matter.
The Spiritual Realm contained countless grand Dao principles.
However, due to his previous cultivation level, he was limited in their ability to comprehend these principles.
Now that he had broken through the Spirit Severing Realm, he should be able to comprehend more Dao principles.
“You thought of everything, Daoist Master.” Su Shi smiled and said.
Sikong Lanyue turned her head and didn’t bother to respond.
Su Shi didn’t mind and took her slender hand towards the cliff.
Sikong Lanyue was momentarily stunned and asked, “What are you doing?”
Su Shi said confidently, “I have a strong talent for comprehension. I am easily assimilated by the Great Dao. Shouldn’t Daoist Master keep an eye on me?”
Sikong Lanyue felt the warmth coming from her palm and felt a bit embarrassed.
Su Shi mumbled, “What’s there to be shy about? It’s not like we haven’t embraced before.”
“Don’t say that!” Sikong Lanyue’s face turned even redder and she saw that Su Shi had no intention of letting go.
Sikong Lanyue’s lips moved but she didn’t say much. She allowed Su Shi to pull her along as their figures disappeared into the cliff.
