Chapter 766: Twelve Chapters of the Heart Sutra

Chapter 766: Twelve Chapters of the Heart Sutra

"Cheng Feng, what is life?"

Beside Cheng Feng, the little white bird asked blankly.

"I don't know either."

Cheng Feng shook his head: "Maybe I can find the answer after I finish walking the last one meter."

While speaking, Cheng Feng had already raised his feet and stepped toward the last meter of the formation dividing line.

However, as Cheng Feng took a step forward, he was pushed back by an invisible force.

"Eh? What's going on?" Cheng Feng didn't know why.

At this moment, an old man in white appeared out of thin air on the dividing line of the formation.

The old man in white looked at Cheng Feng with a look of admiration on his face.

"You are very good. You can find the formation dividing lines of the jungle magic array, which shows that your formation talent is very high."

The old man in white said: "What's more surprising to me is that you actually followed the formation dividing line and reached the last step of the jungle illusion formation. You only need the initial understanding of 'life' to break out of the formation."

"Who is the senior?"

Seeing the old man in white, Cheng Feng asked warily.

"My name is Xu Yan, a formation master from ancient times."

The old man in white said: "I built this jungle magic array."

"It turns out to be Senior Xu Yan, how come you are in the Tianlong Tomb?"

"In ancient times, the old dragon invited me with treasures and asked me to build a chain formation in its tomb. I didn't resist the temptation of the treasures, so I came here."

"The me you see now is just a remnant of my past."

Xu Yan briefly introduced himself, and then said: "When this jungle illusion array was first built, it was mainly to test the mental state of the people who broke into the tomb. Without such a state of mind, it would be difficult to move forward."

"From ancient times to the present, there are countless warriors who have broken into this tomb, but there are only a few who can break through the jungle illusion formation based on their own mental state."

"Senior, this is mainly because the formation you built is too difficult."

Cheng Feng smiled bitterly and said: "I think 90% of the warriors who broke into the Tianlong Tomb will get stuck here."

"Then it doesn't matter."

Xu Yan said: "Although the jungle illusion formation I built is a bit difficult, as long as the state of mind is not too low, it will not be a problem to persist for seven days."

"And as long as you persist for seven days without dying, you will be sent out of the jungle illusion array to the third floor of the Tianlong Tomb."

"What, there is this rule? Why didn't I know about it?"

Hearing this, Cheng Feng was stunned.

"Didn't that old turtle explain this to you before you entered the battle?"

"No."

Cheng Feng said: "I just saw the stone tablet standing in front of the jungle phantom formation, which said that as long as you persist in the phantom formation for three days, you will be eligible to abstain."

"Haha, that old turtle must be lazy again."

Xu Yan shook his head and smiled: "But it's not too late for you to know now."

Cheng Feng was speechless for a while.

In fact, he is also responsible for this matter.

If he hadn't collected a large amount of Tianlong essence at the top of the Dragon Climbing Platform, and fled first for fear of being kicked out of the Tianlong Tomb by the dragon turtle, it is estimated that such an accident would not have happened.

"Senior Xu Yan, since the warrior who breaks into the Tianlong Tomb, as long as he persists in the jungle illusion array for seven days, he will be qualified to enter the third floor of the Tianlong Tomb."

Cheng Feng smiled bitterly, and then asked: "And I have made it to the last step of the jungle illusion formation. Am I already qualified?"

"Of course, you are fully qualified to leave early."

Xu Yan said: "But don't worry, I want to give you two things, which should be of great help to you now."

"Why do seniors think so highly of juniors?"

"It's not about looking down upon me, it's just a good thing."

Xu Yan said, took out two books from his arms, held them up with Yuan Li and handed them to Cheng Feng.

Cheng Feng took it and took a look and found that one was called the Twelve Heart Sutras and the other was a detailed explanation of formations.

"This detailed explanation of the formation is the accumulation of my many years of study on the formation. If you have spare time, you can read it."

Xu Yan introduced: "If you want to make achievements in the art of formation, you should gain a lot from the detailed explanation of the formation."

"As for the twelve chapters of the Heart Sutra, it is a method for cultivating the state of mind."

"This method was obtained by me from a super sect. It is specially designed to temper the warrior's state of mind."

Xu Yan said: "I see that your state of mind has improved very quickly. You have not practiced any state of mind skills, but you have reached the top of the third level of state of mind. You are only one step away from the fourth level."

"And with these twelve chapters of the Heart Sutra, it will speed up your mental state cultivation and allow you to enter the fourth level of mental state faster."

"Senior, what's your state of mind?"

This is the first time Cheng Feng has heard about ‘state of mind’.

"The so-called state of mind is actually a name for the warrior's mind and will."

Xu Yan said: "In ancient times, warriors paid more attention to the cultivation of their mental state. After their mental state was improved, they could practice martial arts, formations, alchemy, etc., and get twice the result with half the effort."

"For example, your state of mind has reached the third peak, so you can reach the last step of the jungle illusion array."

"As for those who are not in a good mood, if they forcefully break into the formation, they will only fall into the formation and lose themselves."

"So this is the state of mind." Cheng Feng nodded suddenly.

In fact, the state of mind is the cultivation of human soul.

Although spiritual cultivation is not as important as martial arts, it is still indispensable for warriors.

If a warrior only focuses on his martial arts cultivation and neglects his spiritual cultivation, he will eventually become mentally unbalanced and either go crazy or become possessed!

"Senior Xu Yan, thank you for your gift. I will keep it in my heart."

Cheng Feng took the twelve chapters of the Heart Sutra and explained the formation in detail, and bowed deeply to Xu Yan.

Because the two books presented by Xu Yan are very important.

In particular, the twelve chapters of the Heart Sutra can be said to be the method that Cheng Feng needs most at the moment.

You must know that the reason why Cheng Feng practiced the Demon Summoning Sword Technique was so dangerous was actually because of his spiritual cultivation, or in other words, his insufficient state of mind.

Once his mental state of cultivation catches up, then he will be able to practice the Demon Summoning Sword Technique and it will be a matter of course.

"There is no need to perform such a big ceremony."

Xu Yan waved his hand: "I give you these two books just casually. Whether you can finally develop the essence depends on your own destiny."

"In addition, I just stopped you from entering the last step of the jungle illusion formation to protect you."

"Because the last step of the jungle illusion formation requires at least the fourth level of mental state cultivation before it is possible to get through."

Xu Yan said: "Although your state of mind cultivation has reached the top of the third level of state of mind, it is only one step away from the fourth level."

"But this line is completely different."

"Perhaps you can use the last step of the jungle illusion array to break and then stand, and break through to the fourth level of the state of mind, but the time it takes will be at least three to five months, or even longer."

"And if you entered the Tianlong Tomb, if my prediction is correct, it should be for the Dragon Crystal Fruit."

"By the time you take the last step through the jungle illusion formation, I'm afraid that the Dragon Crystal Fruit will have been looted by those who come after you."

After saying this, Xu Yan smiled and said: "So, while you have plenty of time, hurry up and search for the Dragon Crystal Fruit."
