Chapter 64 Please Uphold Your Dao Heart
After leaving the instance, Cheng Xiao entered a vast, white space.
The same thing happened during the last instance settlement; the system's electronic screen appeared in front of him, summarizing the content of the previous instance and distributing rewards.
But Cheng Xiao did not see the system's electronic screen.
broken?
After all, he didn't follow the system's planned route at all in the previous instance.
Not only did the task fail, but even garbled text appeared later on.
He always felt that a system that could reward "Fragments of Enlightenment Insights" shouldn't be so fragile.
"You've arrived."
A familiar voice suddenly rang in Cheng Xiao's ears, as if it were ringing directly in his consciousness.
The voice sounded much older; it wasn't Hakimi's voice.
I don't know what's going on. Why are all sorts of things getting into his consciousness? Is his consciousness some kind of treasure trove?
"I'm over here," the voice continued.
Cheng Xiao looked down and realized that he had no physical body, but as long as he had a thought, he could move forward in this white space.
After walking a few steps, he realized why the voice sounded familiar.
Because in this vast white space, his master's figure appeared before him.
It was the master who taught him "the highest form of detachment is not the same as being heartless," and it was he who led him into the gate of the path of detachment.
But didn't his master die from inner demons during his breakthrough?
"Master?" Cheng Xiao called out.
"Master" slowly walked towards him, a smile on his resolute face that looked to be in his twenties.
Cheng Xiao immediately became alert upon seeing this, because his master never smiled.
As if sensing his wariness, "Master" said, "In your eyes, I may appear in various forms, but in reality, I do not have a single, accurate image. I am not the person you want to see, but don't be afraid."
"Who are you? Why am I here?" Cheng Xiao asked calmly.
The other person's words did not make him lower his guard.
An unknown entity took the form of someone he knew best, clearly to better confuse him.
"I am what you call the Heavenly Dao, the will of this world," the other party said bluntly.
Cheng Xiao thought there would be more back and forth, but he didn't expect the other party to reveal their identity so quickly.
But he didn't completely believe what his "master" said.
After all, he had cultivated for many years, but he had never heard of any example of communicating with the Heavenly Dao.
The Way of Heaven is the law of the universe, the fundamental rule governing the operation of a world. How can rules communicate with humans?
"No need to be surprised, you are the first human I have ever met," the thing that called itself "Heavenly Dao" explained.
Cheng Xiao didn't speak, but listened silently.
In truth, he already had some belief in the other person's identity.
After all, with his current strength, he had no way to remove the system from him, but the person in front of him could pull him out of the system and completely block it.
He can neither summon the electronic screen nor hear Hakimi's voice.
It seems he was wrong before; he thought the system was created by the Heavenly Dao.
"I noticed that the power of the rules wanted to attack you, so I blocked the power of the rules for you," the Heavenly Dao continued.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiao recalled the various system prompts he received during the settlement of the previous instance.
He failed his mission, and the system tried to eliminate him, but ultimately failed.
Did Heaven protect him?
"I shielded you from the attack, which gave me the opportunity to meet with you alone. There are some things I want to tell you."
Cheng Xiao discovered that this "master" not only looked exactly the same, but also spoke in the same tone and manner as his master, as if his master had come back to life.
"Didn't you set up the system on me?" Before Tiandao could speak, Chengxiao asked first.
"No," Heaven replied.
"Can you erase the system from my body and let me ascend directly?" he continued to ask.
Whether it's the will of Heaven or the system, he doesn't care. As long as it allows him to ascend, he'll do anything.
"No." The way of Heaven remained straightforward.
"It's fine if you don't let me ascend, but can you solve the problem of the turbid source in Shenhe Prefecture? You should understand what I mean."
"cannot."
Cheng Xiao suddenly felt that this Heavenly Dao was a bit useless. How come it can't do this or that? Is this still the Heavenly Dao?
The Heavenly Dao is the supreme law and power of a world; shouldn't it be omnipotent?
As expected, this world is doomed.
"The system you're talking about is something I can't comprehend, so there's nothing I can do to help you." Tiandao sighed. "Perhaps only you can unlock the secrets of the system."
"So you called me here just to tell me that you saved me?" Cheng Xiao asked.
Heaven shook its head: "Yes and no."
"What is that?" Cheng Xiao pressed.
"I want to tell you to hold on to your Dao heart. Although I can't understand the system, I know that it has already begun to affect your Dao heart. As long as you stabilize your Dao heart, ascension is not impossible." There was a hint of urgency in the Heavenly Dao's tone.
Cheng Xiao had a strange feeling, as if his master had really come back to life and started urging him to cultivate.
He also gained some insights into the issues raised by the Way of Heaven.
Ever since he came into contact with the fragments of enlightenment he had received from the system, all sorts of emotions began to surge within him.
Logically speaking, given his cultivation of the ruthless path, he shouldn't be experiencing these emotions at all.
Just like in the previous instance, he saw a dead end in front of him. He should have let Long Yingxue deal with the turbid source and chosen to settle the matter himself.
But a strong sense of resentment suddenly arose in my heart.
He didn't like the ending, so he took it upon himself to completely destroy the flesh throne, which led to the mission's failure.
but......
Cheng Xiao recalled that moment.
He felt no pain whatsoever; instead, he felt like a drowning person finally surfacing.
"Okay, I understand. I will uphold my Dao heart." Cheng Xiao didn't say anything more.
The laws of nature are not necessarily reliable.
Besides, he's such a useless piece of trash.
When asked about the source of the turbidity, he was told it was unsolvable; when asked about ascension, he was told it was also impossible, and he was only advised to be careful.
What use is the Heavenly Dao then?
"I have left a mark on your soul. If you encounter a similar situation again, or if you have any questions, you can come to me," the Heavenly Dao said.
Well, it's not entirely useless.
But Cheng Xiao always felt a sense of danger, as if everything wanted to leave something in his soul.
"I can't help you fix the system; you'll have to rely on yourself from now on."
After hearing the last sentence, Cheng Xiao's consciousness began to blur. He seemed to suddenly wake up from a dream, as if everything that had just happened was just a dream.
He could hear Hakimi's urgent voice in his ear.
"Big brother, are you awake? You're finally awake! You scared me to death! I never thought that system would actually try to eliminate you when it said it would! But don't worry, I can still be of some use in a pinch..."
Cheng Xiao rubbed his head.
He never expected that he, who had already reached the Mahayana stage of cultivation, would still feel a headache.
Hakimi continued his incessant rant: "I used my authority to stop this massacre for you, and we survived!"
