Chapter 667 - Third Boundary of the Cultivating Heart (2/2)
‘So this is the result of succeeding in cultivating the Cultivating Heart Secret Technique?’ Xue Ying stood up. ‘I have now succeeded in all three secret techniques. Time to pay the Cultivating Heart Palace a visit.’
“Sou!”
He immediately charged up into the sky, and his body turned illusory soon afterward. “Sou, sou, sou.” He began moving towards his destination by means of teleportation.
…
Using the Three Devil Palaces command token, Xue Ying entered the Cultivating Heart Palace once again. This was the same palace hall covered in snow as before.
Within the ancient palace hall, the white-haired old man appeared once again. He looked up towards Xue Ying, his eyes squinted. “You’re back. Have you succeeded?”
“I have.” Xue Ying nodded.
“Let me witness your willpower, then,” said the old man.
Xue Ying’s eyes let out an unseen strength which swept across the area ahead of him. It blasted out on the walls of the palace hall, causing them to tremble violently. This was the Cultivating Heart Palace, a region left behind by the Ancestor Devil; to have caused the walls of such a place to tremble, it was easy to see how powerful he was. Many powerful existences could only do so by using their entire strength.
“Heart as a blade. You have indeed succeeded. A stage four World Deity opening their Dao is no easy task, but for you to have succeeded in the Cultivating Heart Secret Technique…” The white-haired old man was slightly stunned. “And you’re even a soldier of the Destruction Legion on top of that.”
“Heart as a blade?” Xue Ying felt puzzled.
“The cultivation of heart is split into three boundaries as follows: heart like colored glass, heart as a blade, and heart of the world,” the old man explained directly.
Xue Ying instantly memorized these words.
Heart like colored glass, heart as a blade, and heart of the world?
“What of the third boundary, the one you call the heart of the world?” Xue Ying could not help but ask.
“Hmph, there’s no reason to even consider it. Throughout the many cosmos epochs so far, not many Rulers have ever reached this realm. From my understanding, only the Lake Heart Island Master and the Ancestor Devil have ever reached this realm, one after the other. When the heart’s cultivation reaches this level, one could easily kill Rulers with their willpower alone,” the old man explained. “But it is too difficult. Across the many cosmos epochs, there have actually been quite a few Rulers who walked that final step, but only two have ever reached the third boundary of the heart realm. As such, brat from the Destruction Legion, you should become a Ruler before it’s even worth mentioning. Don’t think too far ahead.”
“Killing Rulers using one’s willpower alone?” Xue Ying was speechless.
It was easy to see by just how much both the Lake Heart Island Master and the Ancestor Devil surpassed all others across the many epochs.
“You’ve succeeded in all three of the secret techniques, and you shall thus receive the inheritance left behind by the Ancestor Devil.” The old man waved his hand, causing an enormous bubble to appear. Taking a step, he entered the bubble and said, “Follow me.”
Xue Ying obediently entered.
“Hua.”
The bubble burst apart, and the two of them shattered alongside it, being directly teleported through the void.
Soon, space itself began to shift. There was a single, small region of land amidst the primal chaos, and the whole area contained only one structure—a pagoda!
Xue Ying and the old man appeared right at the entrance to this pagoda.
“Follow me inside,” the white-haired old man said, entering the pagoda as Xue Ying followed closely behind.
