Tian Yuan War Chronicles: The Path of Artifacts to Ascension – Chapter 37

Ch 37: Dao Heart Uncovered

After a while, the two stunned people finally emerged from the scene just now.

At this moment, a small Taoist temple that had never been seen before suddenly appeared on a small street not far away. A cloth sail hung on a long pole in front of the door, with the words Carefree Dao written on it.

The two hurriedly stepped forward to check, and there was actually a greasy Old Taoist in the temple.

“Hello, two Fellow Daoists!”, the Old Taoist was not fake.

“Hello, this Fellow Daoist!”, the two could not fathom the Old Taoist’s realm, so they could only address him as Fellow Daoist.

“Since we are destined to meet, let’s have some wine and dishes together!”, the Old Taoist led the two into the temple. The side room in the temple was the kitchen, and some food had already been placed on the small table in front of the stove.

“Sugar ball!”

“Venison!”

“Iced Dew Tea!”

The two were shocked. What was placed on the table was actually the food in their memories.

“Sit down! Don’t be disgusted! This is a small temple!”, the Old Taoist beckoned the two to sit down.

“Don’t be disgusted! Don’t be disgusted!”, the two casually pulled a dirty chair and sat on it without wiping it.

“Try it!”, the Old Taoist said while pouring wine.

“Okay!”, the two picked up their chopsticks and tasted it. It was the taste of their childhood.

“Is it delicious?”, the Old Taoist asked.

“Delicious!”, the two were in tears, the taste was too familiar.

“Haha! Good! Good!”, the Old Taoist laughed loudly.

“I have some small gifts for you two! I hope you two young friends don’t dislike them!”, the Old Taoist said after laughing.

“Fellow Daoist doesn’t abandon us! How dare we dislike them!”, Lin Yu said.

“Come, come, this is for you!”, the Old Taoist took out two books and two small flying sword-shaped pendants from his arms and handed them to the two.

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist!”, Hua Kong and the other respectfully accepted the books and flying sword-shaped pendants.

“Carefree Sutra!”, the two were puzzled, was this a cultivation method?

“Haha, you two boys are my disciples!”, the Old Taoist suddenly laughed loudly.

“Fellow Daoist! We already have a Master!”, Lin Yu said seriously.

“It’s too late! Haha!”, the Old Taoist said, carried away.

Then the laughter suddenly sounded like thunder, and Lin Yu and Hua Kong suddenly covered their ears. When the laughter disappeared, the Taoist temple had disappeared.

At this time, the two suddenly saw a plaque hanging on the building in front of them, which read————Dao Heart Uncovered!

Then, the surrounding buildings, streets, and trees quickly disappeared, and the surroundings turned into the original bare desolate mountain again.

“Is this real or fake?”, Hua Kong asked quickly.

“Look at what’s in your hand!”, Lin Yu said, pointing to the thing in Hua Kong’s hand.

“This…? Did we get the inheritance?”, Lin Yu asked, looking at the book and the small pendant in his hand.

“I guess so!”, Lin Yu was also a little confused.

“What kind of inheritance is this?”, Hua Kong was still puzzled.

“I don’t know either! And I inexplicably have a Master!”, Lin Yu shook his head.

The two roughly flipped through the book and felt that it was not a cultivation method, but more like a ballad.

But the two did not dare to stay here for long, for fear of being entangled by those greedy cultivators, so they quickly put away their things and took out the Flying Boat to leave.

The local cultivators saw the Secret Realm disappear and really thought that someone had obtained the inheritance, so they rushed over to check, but at this time Lin Yu and Hua Kong had already gone far away.

The two took the Flying Boat and hurried to Yu City. The journey was long, so the two took out the book given by the Old Taoist to study. The two Great Cultivators quickly memorized all the contents.

But this book was more like a ballad throughout, with no method of cultivation at all. The two studied it for several months without any results, and the small sword-shaped pendant was even more like an ordinary object.

The two returned to Yu City in such a daze and continued to expand the Lin Family Commerce’s influence here.

In less than two years, Lin Yu took down a hall of the Black Rock Sect and turned the Sect Leader of the Strange Formation Gate into his own, and at this time Lin Yu had married several concubines here.

Then he gave the daughter of this Strange Formation Gate Sect Leader to Hua Kong to be Hua Kong’s concubine.

For this reason, the cities in the Strange Formation Gate’s territory where the Lin Family Commerce was located also began to be built. This city was given to Hua Kong to be the City Lord, and Hua Kong named this city————Hua City.

After a few years, this city had begun to take shape, and Hua Kong moved all three daughters and their children to the City Lord’s Mansion in Hua City.

At this time, the two had traveled in this Three Yang Realm for nearly six years, and it was time to return to the Tian Yuan Sect.

Lin Yu arranged for a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Lin Family Commerce to be the Deputy City Lord of Hua City, and stayed here to continue to promote the construction.

Hua Kong left a lot of cultivation elixirs and cultivation methods for the three daughters and children, and then took the Lin Family Commerce’s Starship back to the Tian Yuan Sect with Lin Yu.

At this time, it was just the end of the year, when Manager Ying took his men to change shifts with Manager Cao.

Hua Kong, who had returned to the Tian Yuan Sect, had not even warmed his butt before boarding another Starship and embarking on the journey to the Void Stone Mine.

In the Void Stone Mine, Hua Kong still let the Demon Monkey Puppet mine for him, and he wholeheartedly cultivated the Empty Scripture he had obtained in the Seven Yang Sect.

Of course, he would occasionally pick up the Carefree Sutra and study it for a while. The more he read it, the more he found it to be like a song, so now whenever he was tired from cultivation, he would read the Carefree Sutra aloud for a while, or sing it for a while, and his state of mind would be much more stable.

In ten years, Hua Kong had cultivated the Void Spiritual Root Dantian to the Late Stage Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

After returning to the Tian Yuan Sect, the cultivation of other Spiritual Roots had recovered. Then he made an appointment with Lin Yu to go to the Great Wilderness and kill seven in and seven out, and prepared all the Demon Crystals needed to cultivate Mixed Spiritual Roots.

However, the difficulty of cultivation in the Late Stage Foundation Establishment still increased greatly. This time, it took a full twenty years to cultivate all the other five Mixed Spiritual Roots to the Late Stage Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm.

During this period, Hua Kong also entrusted someone to send elixirs and Spirit Stones to the three daughters and children in the Three Yang Realm. And several of his children in the Seven Yang World had also broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

At this point, Lin Yu and Hua Kong had both entered the Great Perfection Realm of Foundation Establishment, and the matter of Core Formation was put on the agenda.

To this end, the two turned down the Sect missions in the Sect and concentrated on hunting Level 5 Demon Beasts on Ascension Island to obtain Demon Crystals to prepare for Core Formation.

Over the years, Hua Kong has been making various improvements to the new Disc Bird Shooting Tube in his spare time. Now Hua Kong believes that even Level 8 Sea Demons can be eliminated. Therefore, Hua Kong is very confident in hunting Level 5 Demon Beasts.

The reason for choosing Ascension Island instead of the Great Wilderness is that the Level 5 Demon Beasts in the Great Wilderness are relatively scattered and difficult to find.

Moreover, the two are both Mixed Spiritual Roots, and the resources required for Core Formation far exceed those of ordinary cultivators. If they were to hunt Level 5 Demon Beasts on a large scale in the Great Wilderness, it would probably cause a Demon Beast riot in the Great Wilderness, causing serious consequences.

So, within ten years, the two drove the Flying Boat and hunted Level 5 Sea Demons on a large scale within a range of 100,000 miles of Ascension Island. In the end, the two prepared more than ten Level 5 Demon Crystals for each series of Spiritual Roots.

The reason for preparing so many Demon Crystals is not that the two are bloodthirsty, but that the risk of Mixed Spiritual Root Core Formation is really great.

The two not only had to prepare Demon Crystals, but also had to prepare elixirs and Spirit Grass equivalent to the Demon Crystals.

In the next ten years, Hua Kong went to the Void Stone Mine, mining while preparing to hunt Level 5 Void Beasts.

The Void Spiritual Root Dantian also needs multiple Level 5 Void Beast Demon Crystals to ensure that there are enough resources for Core Formation, and also needs to use one or two Void Beast Demon Crystals to exchange for the Void Dust Pill used for Void Spiritual Root Core Formation.

But now Hua Kong is already familiar with hunting Void Beasts, and the corresponding Formation inscription is already very skilled.

But after all, Level 5 Demon Beasts already have higher intelligence. After paying hundreds of Void Stones, he finally captured six Level 5 Void Beasts and obtained their Demon Crystals.

In the end, Hua Kong exchanged two Level 5 Void Beast Demon Crystals plus three Level 4 Void Beast Demon Crystals for two Void Dust Pills. At this point, the resources needed for Core Formation were basically prepared.

At this time, Lin Yu had prepared elixirs and Spirit Grass, and after detailed communication with Old Ancestor Lin Lian and Lin Lan, he went into seclusion to form his Core.

And Hua Kong not only looked for Old Ancestor Lin Lian and Lin Lan, but also asked Manager Ying about the Core Formation of Void Spiritual Roots. After returning from the Void Stone Mine mission, he prepared for another three years before starting his seclusion for Core Formation.

However, before going into seclusion, in order to prevent his Core Formation from failing or taking too long, Hua Kong still entrusted some of his resources to the Lin Family Commerce to give to his family in the Three Yang Realm, while only leaving a part of the Disc Bird Shooting Tube manufacturing method to his family in the Seven Yang World.

The Seven Yang World has sufficient resources. If they still cannot make progress, it means that they have no fate with the Great Dao.

He also entrusted Old Ancestor Lin Lian and Lin Lan to take care of his family, and Hua Kong was relieved to go into seclusion.

Mixed Spiritual Root Core Formation is the same as Foundation Establishment, the main thing is to be slow and steady. What others can complete in a few years, Hua Kong has to spend several times as long.

Consolidating the Dantian, gathering Spiritual Energy, transforming Spirit into liquid, and gathering liquid into Core. Hua Kong carefully studied each step and each Dantian multiple times before completing it, so that the Void Spiritual Root Core Formation took ten years.

And the remaining five Dantians of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, with the continuous increase in proficiency, the speed has increased somewhat, but Hua Kong did not dare to relax in the slightest. In the end, when all the Dantians successfully formed their Cores, he had been in seclusion for fifty-three years.

Even the Defense Formation in the Meditation Room had been replaced with Spirit Stones several times by his children. Everyone once thought that Hua Kong had died in the Formation and wanted to open the Formation to check, but was stopped by Old Ancestor Lin Lian.

His long seclusion for Core Formation even became a topic of conversation in the Sect, not only sighing that this person was tough, but also sighing that Ancestor Xingzhou and Old Ancestor Lin Lian treated their disciples kindly.

Finally, fifty-three years after Core Formation, a Heavenly Lightning descended and shattered Hua Kong’s newly built seclusion place behind his Small Courtyard.

Hua Kong chanted the Carefree Sutra and calmly accepted the long Heavenly Lightning baptism. The heavens seemed to be angered by his indifference, and the Heavenly Lightning did not stop bombarding him for a month.

Even the higher-ups of the Tian Yuan Sect were alarmed. Only then did everyone know that there was a Mixed Spiritual Root cultivator named Hua Kong in the Sect who came from the One Yang World.

The Heavenly Lightning kept descending, and its power seemed to be able to destroy the heavens and the earth, while Hua Kong’s chanting was as weak as a small grass, but it never stopped.

Heaven and earth are one with my Dao, all laws return to my body, coming and going for tens of thousands of years, the Dao Heart is not covered in dust.
