Chapter 429: Dao Heart
The dungeons in the game world were too real. His strength increased through slaughter. If this continued, Li Feng worried that he would be affected by the killing, and his Dao Heart would shatter.
This was a big problem, but only through this kind of slaughter could he quickly improve his strength. One month of his cultivation was equivalent to tens of thousands of years of cultivation for others.
“This matter has both advantages and disadvantages. If I can overcome the killing intent, I might be able to control it and use it for myself,” Li Feng murmured.
He had no way out. No matter what lay ahead, he had to grow quickly because his enemies would not let him live so easily.
In the end, Li Feng firmed his resolve, hypnotizing himself, “It’s just killing intent. If I can’t even control killing intent, how can I defeat even stronger enemies? Killing intent is just a stumbling block in my path, used to temper my Dao Heart.
Moreover, I am cultivating too fast. I need a special method to strengthen my Dao Heart. The myriad of killing intent will precisely become my heart-tempering stone.”
He stood up and stopped cultivating. Cultivation required both tension and relaxation. Moreover, he could feel that the killing intent in his body was fluctuating greatly, impacting his Dao Heart. He needed to calm it down before he could continue to improve his strength.
Li Feng walked on the bustling street. He quietly observed the lives of mortals. He saw vegetable vendors haggling over prices, farmers tilling the fields, scholars focused solely on studying the classics, and… Everyone’s fate intersected, but they all walked different paths. He felt a unique sense of understanding.
“There are a hundred states of life. Every detail in life shapes different worldviews. Some people are born with similar status, but their experiences differ, and the achievements they ultimately obtain also differ.”
Unknowingly, his Dao Heart stabilized and became more resilient. The impact of the killing intent could only shake his Dao Heart but could not shake its foundation.
But this was far from enough.
Li Feng stepped out of the capital city and entrusted his feelings to the mountains and rivers to temper his Dao Heart. He had just walked a short distance when he saw a small river.
He followed the direction of the stream. A gentle breeze blew, bringing a sense of peace to his heart.
The killing intent seemed to calm down, like a comforted child, becoming quiet.
After reaching the end of the stream, Li Feng chose to climb a high peak. Now, he was no longer a god but like a mortal, taking one step at a time.
When he reached the top of the peak, the sun was setting. The sky was filled with clouds, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled down, coating the mountains with a layer of golden lines. The fallen leaves on the ground were withered, but they once again emitted their own faint light in the afterglow.
“What is eternity?”
He questioned his Dao Heart. All along, he had relied on the Universe Core to gradually approach and even master the Eternal Law.
But he had never understood what eternity was. What did the power of eternity represent?
“The sun rises and sets. Day and night alternate in a cycle. Isn’t this a kind of eternity? Day disappears, and night falls. But with the arrival of tomorrow, day will reappear. Who says this isn’t a kind of eternity?”
Li Feng muttered to himself, his eyes shining brightly, with stars rising and setting, emitting brilliant light.
“Withered leaves decay, fall with the wind, and integrate into the soil, becoming nutrients for the big tree. The big tree grows new leaves again. Who says these new leaves are not another kind of rebirth of the withered leaves? They are also constantly cycling, achieving an alternative form of longevity, eternity!”
Li Feng’s voice grew louder and louder, like the cosmic Dao sound. Countless laws appeared around him, like waves undulating, with brilliant colors covering this area, shining brightly.
The Dao Heart in his heart became more and more stable, as if it were being transformed from a piece of rotten wood into a piece of jade, crystal clear. Although it did not have earth-shattering power, it was like a boulder, unshakeable.
Boom!
The killing intent in Li Feng’s body surged again, like a tide, impacting his Dao Heart once more. But this time, the killing intent retreated, unable to shake the Dao Heart.
With a bang, a huge wheel appeared behind him. The sky turned grayish. The wheel slowly rotated, seemingly no different from before.
The Eternal Wheel was immutable, always there, grinding all cosmic laws, crushing all cosmic matter, existing eternally.
“Eternity does not necessarily mean unchanging. It will change with time, but in the end, it will appear in the world in the same form, immortal and indestructible.”
But the next moment, a sudden change occurred because Li Feng was negating everything.
As his voice fell, the wheel collapsed, turning into a gray mist, like the birth of the universe, evolving all the different laws of heaven and earth, constantly changing its form.
After an unknown amount of time, the wheel reappeared, with laws flashing on it, extremely mysterious. But soon, the wheel collapsed again, evolving a new universe.
This cycle continued. Each time the wheel reappeared, it was like experiencing nirvana, becoming stronger and more mysterious, making it unfathomable.
At the same time, this also verified the ‘Dao’ and ‘principles’ that Li Feng explained!
“This is true eternity.” Li Feng’s body no longer had a trace of killing intent. He became illusory and ethereal, like a blank law, sometimes turning into a ray of light, sometimes into a piece of space, sometimes into the River of Time, various laws presenting themselves.
All kinds of insights in his heart continued to emerge, turning into strength.
Although Li Feng had always used the Eternal Law, only now did he truly understand what the Eternal Law was.
Night fell.
Everything around calmed down. Li Feng’s eyes became extremely deep, but upon closer inspection, they were no different from those of a mortal, completely returning to ordinary.
“It’s time to go back!”
He said softly. The surrounding laws resonated, the Great Dao manifested, golden springs gushed from the ground, chaotic green lotuses floated, purple energy lingered, dragons roared, and phoenixes sang. Countless astonishing phenomena appeared, all of which were rare to see even once in a hundred thousand years. But at this moment, they all presented themselves.
Li Feng didn’t care. His heart was peaceful. He walked towards the capital city step by step, as if teleporting, his figure elusive.
…
…
Shortly after Li Feng left, some experts sensed something and quickly rushed to the place where Li Feng had his enlightenment.
“Hiss”
Everyone gasped when they saw the scene before them. “How can there be so many astonishing phenomena?”
At this moment, the surrounding phenomena were still blooming, shining brightly, and did not disappear with Li Feng’s departure, as if they were also trying to achieve eternity.
A woman’s eyes were filled with shock, and she said, “Not only that, but the surrounding laws are also in chaos, without any distinction of strength or priority. Normally, a god can only comprehend one law. This person clearly masters more than one law. This might be a Major God, or even…”
The woman didn’t continue, but everyone knew that she was talking about a Supreme God.
This speculation made everyone lose their composure and then feel regretful. “D*mn it, if only I had arrived earlier. If I could have received some guidance from such a figure, it would have benefited me for a lifetime.”
Everyone beat their chests and stamped their feet, filled with regret.
“Such an existence is beyond our comprehension. Even Major Gods are probably like a drop in the ocean in his eyes. How easy is it to get guidance from such a being?” Someone sighed.
It was too difficult to ascend to the Supreme God Realm.
In the universe, the number of Major Gods was not small, but it was not large either. Only five Supreme Gods had ever appeared.
“In fact, I think there should be another level between Supreme Gods and gods. Gods are only gradually mastering a law, while Supreme Gods have already penetrated some of the mysteries of the universe. Their strength is unfathomable. Even Major Gods are like children in front of them, with no ability to resist,” someone said.
◈◈◈
These words silenced many people.
Few people in the world had seen a Supreme God, but Major Gods often appeared. Their vast divine power made everyone despair. It was really hard to imagine how terrifying a true Supreme God was.
Boom!
At this moment, a stream of light fell. It was a man in green clothes. His eyes were bright, and his temperament was outstanding, like a banished immortal.
“It’s Zheng Tianyu!” Many people were surprised. He was preparing for the grand feast, but he came here in person.
But thinking about it, it was not surprising. Zheng Tianyu had gone to great lengths to break through. If he could get some guidance from a Supreme God, he might be able to break through because of it!
Zheng Tianyu stood on a high peak, looking at the colorful phenomena, his expression very complicated. In the end, he left dejectedly.
The phenomena left by Li Feng were like a lingering image. Although they could last for a long time, their mysteries had long disappeared. These remnants were more like proof that a peerless expert had once had an enlightenment here.
“Let’s go. The laws and Dao markings are all gone. What’s left is just the appearance,” someone sighed and chose to leave.
But there were also many people who were reluctant to leave, always believing that there were mysteries here.
In the middle of the night, another powerful prodigy arrived.
“Young Master Bei, he’s here too. I heard that he fought for a hundred thousand li in the north, pushing through invincible, with tens of thousands of geniuses lying dead at his feet.”
A young man shaking a white fan appeared. If Li Feng were here, he would definitely recognize him. This Young Master Bei was the person who had ridiculed him not long ago.
Young Master Bei had a delicate face and wore a white robe, like a scholar, giving people a very pure feeling.
But anyone who had heard of his deeds knew that this person was not simple. He was ruthless and cruel. Almost all those who were his enemies were killed by him. His hands were stained with countless blood.
“Did you see him? Don’t get too close to this person. He has killed too many people and has too much karma on him. Maybe one day he will die in the wilderness.” An old man earnestly instructed a little girl of about three or four years old beside him.
“I know, he’s a bad person. I won’t get close to him,” the little girl said in a childish voice. She was fair and lovely, with big, bright eyes, very cute.
The people around them twitched their mouths, a little amused. Even if he wanted to educate his granddaughter, he should do it secretly behind his back. How could he say bad things about him in front of the person himself?
A trace of anger flashed in Young Master Bei’s eyes, but when he saw the old man clearly, he held back.
This old man was a Peak Mid-Ranking God, and his body exuded a strong Dragon Clan aura, indicating that this person was from the Tianlong Clan, not someone he could afford to provoke.
“Humph!” He snorted coldly and turned to leave. Being ridiculed like this, if he continued to stay here, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to resist making a move.
However, he did not go far, but hid in the dark. As long as he was not discovered, it would not be too embarrassing. Because the divine traces left by the Supreme God were too important, he could accept losing some face.
Swish, swish
Suddenly, several screams rang out from the jungle. A Three-Headed Serpent appeared, with blood still on the corners of its mouth. Its green eyes were full of ferocity.
Behind it, two servants followed, their auras equally powerful.
“The Three-Headed Serpent is here too. I wonder if his big brother will appear?” Everyone’s hearts were chilled, their faces solemn.
The Three-Headed Serpent was very strong and cruel. He had devoured millions of creatures and committed boundless killings, making many people hostile towards him.
“Humph, if it weren’t for his good big brother, he would have been killed long ago,” someone said dissatisfiedly.
Although the Three-Headed Serpent was terrifying, there were still people who could restrain him. However, the Three-Headed Serpent had an older brother with eight heads. His talent and strength were terrifyingly boundless. Even Zheng Tianyu took him very seriously, believing that as long as he grew his ninth head, there would be few who could match him below the Major God Realm. This made countless people wary.
“It’s just a lingering image. Maybe someone deliberately did it, playing tricks here,” the Three-Headed Serpent climbed to the top of a peak, looked down, and sneered.
His words contradicted the conclusions of most people.
This made many people displeased. These phenomena were all born from heaven and earth. Except for a Supreme God, who could trigger so many phenomena at once?
But some people were also pondering, “What the Three-Headed Serpent said is not unreasonable. If it were really a trace left by a Supreme God, its power would definitely be earth-shattering. How could it only leave a remnant image? Could it be that someone is really playing tricks on the world?”
Swish…
At this moment, an immortal figure stepped through the void in the sky.
This was a beautiful woman, graceful and elegant, with crystal clear feet, walking towards the phenomena.
She wore a white dress, the silk of her sleeves draping down to her thighs, her body surrounded by immortal light, like a fairy descending from the nine heavens.
“It’s the Rainbow Fairy. If I could marry her, I could save tens of thousands of years of struggle,” the young talents present couldn’t help but whisper, their eyes flashing with admiration and heat.
“You’re dreaming. The Rainbow Fairy is the Royal Princess of the Jingting Dynasty. She has a noble status. How could she possibly take a fancy to you?” Young Master Bei walked out and mocked.
Seeing the Rainbow Fairy, he couldn’t sit still anymore and stopped hiding his figure.
“Jingting Dynasty.”
Hearing these words, some experts’ expressions changed slightly. The Jingting Dynasty was a top power among the Immortal Clan, with a Major God holding the fort.
Suddenly, everyone’s gaze towards the Rainbow Fairy changed. The Immortal Clan was one of the seven strongest races in the universe, extremely prosperous. Her status was extremely noble. On Tianlong Star, apart from Major Gods, probably no one could compare to her, not even Zheng Tianyu.
The Rainbow Fairy ignored the crowd. She passed through the lingering image phenomena. In an instant, countless phenomena turned into light rain and dissipated.
Seeing this, she sighed softly and concluded, “All of this is an illusion, like a dream bubble, illusory. It’s not a trace left by a Supreme God at all.”
A Supreme God, what a stunning existence. Since the birth of the universe, only five have appeared. How could something left by such a figure be so false, like foam, shattering at the touch?
