My Mysterious Left Hand

Chapter 129 Li Chen's Dao Heart

"It's so difficult—is it because I've almost never experienced combat?"

Xin Zhirou slumped onto the platform, panting heavily.

Perhaps because she had never truly experienced combat, although her cultivation level was very high, her combat experience was almost zero.

Combat experience is almost directly proportional to the application of strength.

Her problem now is that she is very crude in her use of power, which is why she had such a difficult time getting through that hurdle.

However, upon examining herself, she discovered that although she looked disheveled, she was not fundamentally injured; she had simply overexerted her strength.

A moment later, she got up and walked toward the stone tablet.

The stone tablet was engraved with dense silver characters, which were the Cave Heaven chapter of the Void Furnace Scripture.

"Alright, I misunderstood you," Li Chen said with a smile.

Across from them, the fluffy little beast couldn't help but roll its eyes: "You can see what's going on inside? But can you not be so blatant in stealing my knowledge?"

It has realized that Li Chen has truly risen to power, and this guy has directly made this place his private domain.

-

Now, the entire Forbidden Land of Bones seems to have become Li Chen's private stage.

My old friends outside are all under house arrest; they can't come over to check on the situation and are just anxiously waiting outside.

This "Cave Heaven Chapter" is profound and extensive, containing not only cultivation methods for the Cave Heaven Realm, but also techniques for using several void supernatural abilities, such as "Void Escape Technique," "Void Cutting," and "Void Restriction."

Xin Zhirou memorized and deduced with great eagerness, and suddenly found that many of the doubts she had had in her previous cultivation were now clear.

"First stage reward: 'The Void Forge Scripture - Cave Heaven Chapter' and ten Void Crystals."

The sounds of small animals outside rang out again.

In an instant, Xin Zhirou saw ten fist-sized, crystal-clear silver crystals appear beside the stone tablet.

Xin Zhirou put away the Void Crystal, a top-grade material for refining Void Magic Treasures, which had long been extinct in the outside world.

"Rest for an hour, the second level is about to begin," the little beast said.

Xin Zhirou nodded, sat down cross-legged, and began to digest the profound meaning of the Cave Heaven Chapter.

She discovered that this scripture had many similarities with the "Three Essentials of Foundation Building" taught by Li Chen, but it was more systematic and profound.

In particular, the sections on solidifying and resonating with the grotto-heaven provided a clear path, giving her a better understanding of breaking through to the Human King realm.

A clearer understanding.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye. The silver platform lit up with runes again, and a second starlight portal appeared behind the stone tablet.

Soon, the little beast announced that it was time to continue the challenge.

The second level is the Illusionary Realm of Inner Demons.

As Xin Zhirou stepped through the second door, the scene before her eyes changed abruptly.

She found herself back on Earth, back to the night that changed her destiny.

The husband was shrouded in a gray mist, and then sucked into a dried-up corpse.

She held young Yao Ruoxi and wept bitterly in the rain.

The scene was terrifyingly realistic: the cold rain, the daughter's trembling body, the despair in my heart—

Everything overlapped with my memory.

"This is an illusion."

Xin Zhirou told herself to try to stay awake.

But the power of illusion is all-pervasive; it is not a simple illusion, but rather it acts directly on the mind and spirit, digging into the deepest fears and obsessions within.

The scene changes, and she sees Yao Ruoxi being kidnapped by the enemy, and sees herself desperately chasing after her but unable to catch up.

She saw Li Chen coldly tell her that her aptitude was too poor to be worthy of cultivation; she saw herself grow old and near death, while her daughter remained eternally young due to her successful cultivation; mother and daughter drifted further and further apart.

Every scene touched the softest spot in her heart.

Xin Zhirou's face grew paler and paler, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead.

Although she knew it was all fake, the emotional impact was real.

Her resolve began to waver, and the flow of her internal energy cultivation became sluggish.

"Stay true to yourself —"

Li Chen's voice seemed to echo in my ears.

Outside, the furry little beast wanted to scold Li Chen for interfering with the inheritance trial.

However, considering Li Chen's terrifying strength, it held back.

In the end, all the words boiled down to one sentence: "Watch quietly."

Li Chen smiled slightly, but it was unclear whether he had taken it to heart.

Xin Zhirou bit her tongue sharply, and the sharp pain brought her back to her senses for a moment.

"I am Xin Zhirou. My path is the path of protection, the path of self-improvement!"

She murmured to herself, her mind filled with images of her more than fifty years of arduous cultivation on Moon Spring Star, Li Chen's guidance, and her daughter Yao Ruoxi's innocent and carefree smile.

"No matter how realistic an illusion may seem, it is still an illusion. My path lies ahead, not in the past, and certainly not in these fabricated fears!"

She closed her eyes, no longer looking at those illusions, but instead introspecting on herself and circulating the "Void Furnace Sutra".

In the Cave Heaven Chapter, there is a "Void Tranquility Mantra" that is specifically designed to deal with inner demons.

She silently recited the mantra, her mind gradually sinking into a state of clarity.

The surrounding illusions began to distort and blur.

The terrifying scenes receded like the tide, but new challenges followed one after another.

This time, it was temptation.

She saw herself easily break through to the Human King realm, becoming a force to be reckoned with on Earth; she saw Li Chen impart all his knowledge, nurturing her into an unparalleled powerhouse; she saw her daughter achieve immortality, mother and daughter ascending to eternal life together—

Every temptation clung to her desires, almost causing her to succumb.

But Xin Zhirou's heart was as still as a deep well.

Although she had never actually experienced combat during her more than fifty years of cultivation, the solitary training had honed her will to be as firm as a rock.

She knew perfectly well that there were no shortcuts to cultivation, and true strength came from taking one step at a time.

She remained unmoved and even actively shattered these tempting illusions.

After an unknown amount of time, the illusion completely dissipated.

Xin Zhirou opened her eyes and found herself standing on an ancient altar.

Nine stone pillars stand around the altar, each engraved with different void runes.

Outside, Li Chen pondered: "The person who set up this inheritance path back then was truly skilled; they could directly help people realize their Dao heart."

However—the Dao Heart?

Li Chen suddenly asked himself, what is his Dao Heart?

He understood almost without hesitation.

One's own Dao heart is to do as one pleases, which is great freedom and ease.

An invisible wave emanated from him.

The next moment, the energy of heaven and earth within the entire forbidden area of ​​bones began to surge violently.

Furthermore, this turbulent energy of heaven and earth continued to spread outwards, quickly reaching the wild mountains and boundless lands beyond.

Ultimately, the energy of heaven and earth on the entire Gu Xuan Star still surged violently.

A terrifying surge of source energy appeared.

Throughout the entire Gu Xuan Star, countless powerful beings above the Human King level suddenly looked up, shocked by the sudden celestial phenomenon.

In particular, some beings who have surpassed the Human King are being drawn to the cosmic radiation of outer space.

The shattered rules of the entire Gu Xuan Star are being reshaped.

The once shattered planet now shows faint signs of being reshaped.

"this----"

"What happened?!"

All the super-strong individuals who sensed this situation were shocked and bewildered.

As for the furry little beast "Kong" that was right next to him, it was completely stunned, staring dumbfounded at Li Chen opposite it.
