Chapter 1020: What Is Dao Heart
Tang Guxiong's appearance was just an insignificant episode, and the four elders of the Tianhuang family didn't take it seriously.
"The preliminary selection begins!"
As the voice of the Xuanyue God King reached the ears of everyone present, a dazzling altar appeared on the open space below the four elders.
This open space is very large, and the area of the altar is also thousands of meters in radius, enough to allow tens of thousands of people to be teleported into the Ancient Mystical Realm at the same time.
The Ancient Mystical Realm is different from the Tianhuang Secret Realm. It is said that it is a place where the Tianhuang family specially trains young disciples. It is the most suitable place for the preliminary selection of geniuses.
With the four elders sitting here, everyone followed the order and entered the altar in turn.
After being teleported to the Ancient Mystical Realm, Luo Xiu looked up and saw endless clouds and mist all around him, and a vast ocean in front of him. A narrow wooden bridge spanned the vast ocean.
"The first level of the preliminary selection is to test the Dao heart of each of you. What you see in front of you is the Sea of Bitterness, and the bridge above the Sea of Bitterness is called the Bridge of Samsara. Your test results in this level will be determined by how far you can walk on the Bridge of Samsara in the Sea of Bitterness!"
Standing on the shore of the Sea of Bitterness, the faint voice of the Xuanyue God King echoed in the void. Luo Xiu found that there was no one else around him. It can be seen that everyone who enters the ancient mysterious realm is tested individually, so everyone can only rely on themselves.
More than 200,000 geniuses, equivalent to everyone being in an independent space, it must be said that the Tianhuang family's hand is not ordinary.
The reason why the Dao heart is placed in the first level of the test, Luo Xiu certainly knows why this is, because for a martial arts master, the Dao heart is the most important, otherwise, even if there is a talent that is against the sky, once the Dao heart is not qualified, it is destined to be impossible to go far on the road of the strong.
Having lived two lives, Luo Xiu has his own unique understanding and insights into the realm of martial arts. He knows very well that especially after reaching the level of gods and demons, martial artists have already shed their mortal bodies. After reaching a higher level, the heart of Tao is particularly important.
In this world, Luo Xiu is confident that he is not inferior to anyone in terms of the heart of Tao, so he did not hesitate at all and stepped onto the reincarnation bridge above the sea of suffering.
What is reincarnation? Reincarnation is the combination of life and death, time and space. Birth, old age, sickness and death are reincarnation, and the wheel of time and space is also reincarnation.
Only life and death without time and space is not a complete reincarnation, and if there is only time and space without life and death, reincarnation cannot be achieved.
Luo Xiu dare not say that no one in the world understands reincarnation better than him, but he practiced the way of reincarnation at the beginning of this martial arts life, and he also has his own understanding and insights into reincarnation.
When he stepped onto the reincarnation bridge, the scene around Luo Xiu changed instantly, which can be said to be a change with every step.
His vision became a little blurry, and then when the blurry vision became clear, he found himself in a busy city street.
"Luo Xiu!"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him. Luo Xiu turned his head and saw a woman running towards him in a panic.
"Lu Mengyao?"
Luo Xiu looked surprised. The woman running towards him was Lu Mengyao. She had a look of fear on her face and her clothes were a little torn.
At the same time, Luo Xiu found that he could not feel his own cultivation. At this moment, he seemed to no longer be a strong man in the sixth level of the God and Demon Realm, but just an ant still in the body refining realm!
"Haha, little! Without your father's protection, I want to see how you can escape from my palm!"
A sneer came, and then Luo Xiu saw a young man in brocade clothes chasing after him with several men.
Luo Xiu also recognized the young man in the lead. It was Gou Jinchuan!
Back then in Xiaoyao Sect, Lu Mengyao's father died in a fight for the position of the head of the sect. Then Gou Jinchuan led people to humiliate her, but Luo Xiu stopped him and killed Gou Jinchuan and his men with a quick sword technique.
"Is this reincarnation?"
Everything that happened in front of him was so real, but Luo Xiu's heart was calm from beginning to end.
Seeing this scene, he actually knew how to crack it. As long as he could be as firm as a rock and regard everything happening around him as an illusion, then everything would fall apart.
"Ah!..."
Lu Mengyao was stopped by several people before she could run to Luo Xiu. These people had smiles on their faces and said some explicit words.
"Hold her down for me!"
Several warriors grabbed Lu Mengyao, then swept away everything on a stall next to the street and pressed Lu Mengyao on it.
"Hey, isn't this the boy Xuanren liked before? Why don't you come to save the beauty?"
At this moment, Gou Jinchuan saw Luo Xiu in the crowd on the street, with a scornful smile on his face.
Luo Xiu remained unmoved, because he already knew that this level was a test of whether his heart could be as solid as a rock. If he took action, then this level of test would most likely fail.
"Luo Xiu, save me!" Lu Mengyao screamed at the top of her lungs, but she couldn't break free at all with her strength.
"Haha, Luo boy, are you really not going to save her?" Gou Jinchuan laughed even more arrogantly, "Since you don't save her, then this young master will fuck her in front of you!"
Several warriors pinned Lu Mengyao down, and Gou Jinchuan walked behind her and started to take off his pants.
At this moment, a cold light flashed in Luo Xiu's pupils.
Lu Mengyao was the first woman that Luo Xiu liked in this life. Although they were not destined to be together, in Luo Xiu's heart, he would not sit idly by and watch her being humiliated.
"Dao Xin? What is Dao Xin?"
The cold light in Luo Xiu's eyes became more and more fierce. "If it is as solid as a rock, cold and ruthless is Dao Xin, then it doesn't matter if it is not!"
"My Dao Xin, only asks for a clear conscience!"
At this moment, Luo Xiu felt that his mind was suddenly enlightened. He understood that he had made a misunderstanding from the beginning. If he could sit idly by and watch the people he cared about being humiliated, even if his Dao Xin was as solid as a rock, it was definitely not the Dao Xin he wanted. How was a ruthless Dao Xin different from the Supreme Love in his previous life?
Even the supreme love in the previous life was not ruthless, but just cut off the emotions, forget about them, and hide the emotions in the deepest part of the heart.
"Go to hell!"
In an instant, Luo Xiu's figure moved. Although he was only practicing the body at this moment, he burst out with a terrifying killing intent.
"Puff!"
He put his two fingers together to form a sword. Due to the limitation of his cultivation, he could not display his powerful magical powers, but this sword finger was still as fast as lightning, interpreting the true ultimate mystery of the fast sword technique!
"Puff!"
Gou Jinchuan, who was still taking off his pants, was directly pierced through the back of his head by Luo Xiu's sword finger.
"Young Master!"
The warriors brought by Gou Jinchuan exclaimed. The worst of these people had the cultivation of the Qi Sea Realm. Luo Xiu's strength could not compete at all. If he hadn't sneak attacked at lightning speed, it would not even be possible to kill Gou Jinchuan.
Countless swords and sabers flashed across the sky. When Luo Xiu was killed, his eyes suddenly met Lu Mengyao's. Her bright eyes were still panicked, but she cried out his name with tears.
In an instant, Luo Xiu lost consciousness, and then all the illusions disappeared. Then Luo Xiu saw that he was still standing on the Samsara Bridge, and below him was a bitter sea with huge waves.
He remembered that he had just stepped onto the Samsara Bridge, but at this moment, he was obviously far away from the Samsara Bridge.
"Did you pass it?"
Luo Xiu's expression was calm and calm. Even he couldn't help but admire the test of the Samsara Bridge for the heart of Tao, because in that situation, it was difficult to make a choice even though he knew it was an illusion.
After all, once you make the wrong choice, you may be eliminated and lose the opportunity to enter the Tianhuang family.
But for Luo Xiu, the mystery of understanding one's own heart is not something that everyone can understand.
Luo Xiu continued to move forward, and then a new illusion appeared. He seemed to be in a fairyland, where countless extremely precious divine medicines grew, and there were even top-level divine weapons and magic treasures thrown on the ground casually, which were the secret books of the supreme divine art.
If the previous illusion tested a person's choice of love in his heart, then this moment was a test of whether he could withstand it.
Luo Xiu moved forward all the way, without looking sideways, his heart of Taoism was as solid as a rock, without the slightest ripple.
Then, other illusions appeared on the Samsara Bridge one after another, with vast and endless thunder striking down, and surging and terrifying divine fire burning. Whether it was struck by thunder or roasted by fire, the feeling was extremely real.
However, all this was illusory for Luo Xiu's heart of Taoism. When Luo Xiu felt that he was about to reach the end of the Samsara Bridge, he suddenly found himself in a valley full of birdsong and flowers.
This valley was like a paradise, quiet and peaceful. In the middle of the flowers and plants in the valley, there was a wooden house.
With a creak, the door of the wooden house was opened, and two women came out.
Luo Xiu was naturally familiar with these two women, because they were Yan Yue'er and Yan Xiruo.
"Husband!"
When the two women saw Luo Xiu, they immediately showed excitement on their faces, and walked out one on the left and one on the right, holding his arms.
"Husband, I miss you so much."
Yan Yue'er's delicate body softened, and she fell directly into Luo Xiu's arms, and her jade-like hands began to untie his clothes.
"I miss my husband too." Yan Xiruo did the same, her body pressed against Luo Xiu's back, and her full and resilient breasts pressed against Luo Xiu's back, changing into various shapes.
On the grass, the petals were colorful and beautiful. The two peerless women's clothes fell to the ground, their eyes were shy, and they endlessly drowned Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu sighed softly. They were all his wives, and it was normal for all this to happen, but it was not normal to happen here.
"Two silly girls, wait for your husband to come to the Demon Killing Valley to see you."
Luo Xiu's eyes were full of clarity. He gently stroked the cheeks of the two women. With his sigh, all the illusions disappeared.
"All dharmas are empty!"
This was the first time that Luo Xiu used the Way of No Form when he stepped onto the Samsara Bridge, and he used the magical power of All dharmas are empty right from the start.
When he used this magical power, all dharmas and ways were false in front of him. When he stepped forward again, all the illusions had already dissipated before they could evolve.
Having seen so many illusions along the way, Luo Xiu was no longer interested in breaking them one by one. His Dao heart no longer needed such tests and training.
"Pop!"
When there were no more illusions, Luo Xiu found that he had walked down from the Samsara Bridge, and the Sea of Bitterness and the Samsara Bridge behind him disappeared like clouds and mist.
