Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1042 Still Needs to Use Cheats
[The Heavenly Gate of the Path]

The 124th time cultivating the Dao heart.

"Boom!"

Another loud bang occurred, but this time Lü Yang did not back down. Instead, he clashed head-on with the mental will of the twelve Great True Monarchs.

The next second, he was covered in wounds and retreated from the dark side of the sea of ​​light in a sorry state. His consciousness instantly returned to his body, and he continued to operate the [Cleansing and Purifying Chapter] to repair his injuries. Sensing that his Dao heart, although it had changed a little, was still far from sufficient, his brows gradually furrowed.

'We're nearing our limit.'

"One hundred and forty-three times is my limit in a short period of time. If my Dao heart is damaged again after that, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover through cultivation."

To recover, you must spend time recuperating.

Clearly, the "Cleansing the Mind and Purifying the Heart" technique is not a panacea; it doesn't mean that you can improve simply by being beaten. There is also a maximum threshold involved.

It's like doing aerobic exercise. Once you reach your body's threshold, you have to slow down, relax, and replenish your nutrition before you can continue. The level of this threshold is a person's talent in cultivating their Dao heart. Si Chong even made a similar classification for this.

Someone like me is mediocre.

Lu Yang remained calm and was not discouraged by the situation. After all, he had long accepted his mediocrity and was no longer affected by it.

'Unfortunately, even the profound mysteries of attaining enlightenment cannot repair this kind of damage.'

Damage to the Dao Heart is completely independent of other great forces in the world; only the Dao Heart can affect it, making it an extremely mysterious power.

At the same time, Tianhu also appeared beside Lü Yang.

“It’s reached its limit.”

Tianhu seemed quite familiar with Lü Yang's condition: "It's alright, just rest for a while. You can resume your cultivation in about three years."

Three years?

Lu Yang frowned even more deeply.

"I know you're in a hurry, but please don't rush."

Seeing this, Tianhu hurriedly said, "This is also a test of the [Cleansing the Heart Chapter], it just depends on whether you can endure the tempering brought by the long period of time."

"The process of trying, failing, and then recuperating is itself a form of spiritual cultivation. It can make you feel anxious and give rise to self-doubt. As the saying goes, the Tao does not want to be mixed up. Mixing up leads to excess, excess leads to disturbance, disturbance leads to worry, and worry is beyond help. Only by overcoming these can you build the initial form of a pure mind."

Lu Yang did not answer.

If he has nothing else to do in this life, he wouldn't mind spending time here to improve his Dao heart and build a spiritual retreat over many years.

But no.

'Mu Changsheng has already entered the Dao Court. If he follows my strategy, he may begin seeking gold within thirty years, and at most within sixty years.'

Before that, he must enter the underworld.

"Given my current level of Daoist cultivation, reaching the level of establishing a 'heart's fast' as described in the 'Chapter on Cleansing the Heart and Purifying Impurities' would require at least a thousand years."

'Fine, let's try again.'

Lü Yang quickly figured it out.

If things are beyond our control, then give up and try again in the next life. As long as the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes still exists, time will always be a steadfast ally on his side.

Soon, it was the 143rd time cultivating the Dao Heart.

"Boom."

Lu Yang withdrew from the dark side of the Sea of ​​Light once again. This time, it took him dozens of breaths to suppress the madness in his eyes, and an unbearable stinging pain came from between his eyebrows.

In addition, an overwhelming sense of fatigue washed over him, making this Great True Monarch feel like a mortal who wanted to take a nap. This showed how bad his condition was. If he were to endure another mental shock, his already fragile Dao heart would truly shatter completely.

"There's nothing I can do," Lü Yang sighed. But he quickly rallied: "That being said, accepting one's mediocrity doesn't mean giving up."

Open the [Hundred Lifetimes Book] panel.

【Colorful Talent - Mysterious Pass Merging with Divine Refinement Daoist Techniques】!
With the blessing of this talent, Lü Yang clearly felt that the operation of the [Cleansing and Purifying Chapter] was more smooth, and its effect was rapidly improved.

[The Mysterious Pass and Divine Refinement Technique: Only through countless refinements can steel be forged. The more severely injured and on the verge of death one is, the more powerful one can be forged from the brink of death. The more severe the injury, the greater the mysteries used to overcome it when one fully recovers.]

'A damaged Dao heart is also an injury.'

'I used the [Cleansing and Purifying Mantra] to heal the wounds to my Dao heart, and the [Mysterious Pass Divine Union Refining Technique] can artificially enhance the effect of the [Cleansing and Purifying Mantra].'

Lu Yang calmed himself down and silently began to recover from his injuries.

Three years passed quickly.

As Dao Xin's injuries healed, Lü Yang opened his eyes and felt a cool sensation flowing from his brow to his limbs, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his body.

'Just as expected!'

'The effects of the "Cleansing and Purifying the Mind" technique have increased significantly. At this rate, after two or three more uses, I should be able to reach the threshold of establishing a pure mind!'

Lü Yang's eyes grew brighter.

Sure enough, in this godforsaken place, there's no way to get by cultivating immortality step by step. Talent? What good is talent anyway? You still have to cheat when it matters!
Without any hesitation, Lü Yang immediately entered the dark side of the Sea of ​​Light.

This time, his limit surged to 761 times. After using them all, he didn't hesitate and went into seclusion to recuperate again.

Three years later, another three years.

Three years later, another three years.

Soon, twelve years passed, and with four "significant improvements" from the [Mysterious Pass Divine Refinement Technique], Lü Yang's condition improved more and more.

Such a change almost dumbfounded Tianhu, who was secretly observing: "What's going on? What happened? Why is his progress so great? This talent is not right. Even Huiguang couldn't see it. Could it be that I misjudged him? Is he the type who hides his Huiguang and is wise in disguise?"

Lü Yang ignored Tian Hu's doubts.

At this moment, he was completely immersed in the changes in his Dao heart. In a daze, he seemed to see his mental will transform into thoughts.

His limit has now climbed to 129,600.

At the same time, his thoughts seemed to have split into 129,600, each of which was almost the same as his original perfect Dao heart.

A single thought is a Dao heart!
One hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred thoughts merge into one, forming the rudimentary form of the Mind Fast! This single step alone has stumped countless ancient masters.

"Si Chong Can Nian was just bragging."

Feeling the changes in his Dao Heart, Lü Yang couldn't help but sigh. Then he glanced disdainfully at Si Chong's lingering remnant spirit, which was hiding in his sea of ​​consciousness and not saying a word.

What did he say to me back then?
With a perfect Dao heart, one possesses the qualities of a Dao Lord!
'Looking back now, that guy was really cunning. He was deliberately trying to curry favor with me, while also praising the efficacy of his book, the "Zhaomu Sixu Fashu" (Book of the Order of the Zhaomu Temple).'

They were just taking advantage of him because he didn't know anything about ancient times!
Now they've been exposed.

"Of course, the cultivation of the Dao heart isn't as exaggerated as Tian Men makes it out to be. The idea that a perfect Dao heart is a basic requirement for a True Lord is too simplistic."

Indeed, achieving perfect enlightenment is not difficult for the ancient True Lords.

However, that's because the lifespan of the Ancient True Monarchs is infinite, and as long as they spend time, they can always achieve perfect Dao heart. It doesn't mean that all Ancient True Monarchs have perfect Dao heart.

There are always people still on the road.

"The same applies to Xinzhai. It's said to be the standard for a Great True Lord, but can a Heaven-Treading Great True Lord and an Entry-Level Great True Lord be the same thing? They're vastly different."

Take the twelve Dharma Body Dao Great True Lords of the Dark Side of the Sea of ​​Light as an example. After so many battles, he estimated that only the three leaders had truly created their own Heart Fasting, while the other nine had at most created a prototype of Heart Fasting, just like him now.
