180: Heart Book, Mindset, Spirit, Will!

Heart, Spirit!

The Seven Emotions and Six Desires, the Yang Spirit, the Mental State, Thoughts, and so on and so forth, encompassing everything.

The Delusional Heart, No-Self, Nourishing Heart Grand Formation within Zhang Yang's Nourishing Heart Lineage is a top-tier method concerning the Mental State!

And this was comprehended by his Revered Master, Xin Buxiu.

"What do I need in terms of Mental State?"

"Do I need a Dao Heart? Do I need an unwavering spirit?"

Zhang Yang pondered frantically in his mind.

In the Central Continent, there are also many methods for cultivating the heart; aside from the Nourishing Heart Lineage, there is the Combat Will of the Azure Wolf Tower.

It is rumored that the most top-tier method of the Azure Wolf Tower is a technique called the Indestructible Battle Soul.

Legend has it that as long as the battle soul remains unextinguished, even if one is utterly annihilated, they can be reborn from nothingness, defying the heavens to live on!

Of course, no one has ever actually tried this.

Zhang Yang's Heart Book, as he currently sees it, should encompass three aspects.

The first is the Mental State, the second is the Yang Spirit, and the third is Will!

Regarding the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, Martial Artists of the Central Continent are not like the immortal cultivators in the novels Zhang Yang has read,

who eliminate the seven emotions and fuse the six desires.

Most hold a rather ordinary view towards the Seven Emotions and Six Desires.

If the seven emotions are eliminated and the six desires fused, can that still be considered human?

Most Martial Artists of the Central Continent fight against heaven and earth, yet they are not reckless fools; they know when to back down.

Unlike the characters in the novel 'Shrouding the Heavens' that Zhang Yang read, who are all stubborn brats!

Zhang Yang does not lack a Mental State or Dao Heart.

He has many reasons for cultivating: wanting eternal life, wanting freedom.

For this, he can walk forward with unwavering determination!

The Yang Spirit is tangible, substantial power.

For Zhang Yang, fusing various methods of cultivating the Yang Spirit into one and creating a Heaven Rank mid-grade technique dedicated to cultivating the Yang Spirit is not difficult.

Next is Will. Zhang Yang plans to reference the Profound Truths within many Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques of the Azure Wolf Tower,

to fuse and create a method similar to the Indestructible Battle Soul.

As long as his Will remains unextinguished, then he shall be unextinguished!

Of course, this point is extremely difficult; Zhang Yang can only lay a preliminary foundation for now.

The final Heart Book requires the Fusion of these three to complete.

Zhang Yang stopped his cultivation, leaving his five elements clones to Cultivate at Qingling Peak, while he alone left the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion.

Arriving at a Mortal kingdom, Zhang Yang enveloped the entire nation with his Primordial Spirit Power.

Every action of all the people within, even their innermost Thoughts, were perceived by him one by one.

In terms of Mental State, Zhang Yang indeed has certain weaknesses, after all, his cultivation time has been short.

Zhang Yang intended to use the intense spectrum of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires within this Mortal kingdom to temper his own Mental State.

Sensing all the happenings within this Mortal kingdom, Zhang Yang sometimes frowned deeply, sometimes laughed heartily.

Zhang Yang employed many Buddhist methods from the Three Lives Tower,

using the intense Three Poisons of Greed, Hatred, and Ignorance within this Mortal kingdom to temper his Mental State.

Five days later, Zhang Yang shook his head slightly.

With a single thought from him, the Mortals who had committed various evil deeds over the five days instantly exploded into clouds of blood mist.

Afterward, he silently returned to Qingling Peak.

"The issue of Mental State is temporarily acceptable, but it still feels insufficient!" Zhang Yang said to himself.

The so-called Mental State, in Zhang Yang's view, is extremely ethereal and elusive.

After all, people change, so the Mental State should not be a fixed condition either.

In Zhang Yang's Thoughts,

his Mental State, or Dao Heart, should be a heart that forever desires to progress, progress, and progress further!

However, over these seven days, Zhang Yang discovered that his true nature might not be like this.

He simply wanted to become the strongest, and then reshape the entire world according to his own Will!

Upon realizing this, Zhang Yang instantly killed those Mortals and even Martial Artists who had committed evil deeds during the five days!

No other reason, simply because he did not like them.

"The Mental State can be set aside for now; what remains is Will!" Zhang Yang said to himself.

Subsequently, he began to reference the various methods of the Three Lives Tower and the Azure Wolf Tower.

Speaking of Will, both these organizations have profound research in this area!

However, after a brief attempt, Zhang Yang temporarily gave up.

Wanting to condense a method not inferior to the Indestructible Battle Soul is still far too difficult.

Within the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion,

the accumulation of Martial Skills from the Azure Wolf Tower and the Three Lives Tower is relatively weak, still insufficient for Zhang Yang to create this method!

At this moment.

"Zhang Yang, come quickly to the main hall of the Nourishing Heart Lineage. Your resources have arrived!"

Xin Buxiu's phantom appeared before Zhang Yang, saying with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhang Yang nodded slightly, took a single step, and arrived outside the main hall of the Nourishing Heart Lineage.

He paused for a moment, then lifted his foot and walked in.

Upon entering, the gazes of dozens of people inside scrutinized Zhang Yang intently, as if trying to see through his entire being.

Zhang Yang's eyes swept over the Faces of the several dozen people before him, and he understood in his heart:

These were most of the Dao Severing Realm powerhouses currently in the Central Continent!

"Greetings, Revered Master. Greetings, Seniors!" Zhang Yang cupped his hands in salute.

After all, they were the top-tier Dao Severing Realm powerhouses of the Central Continent; he had to give them enough Face.

"Mm! Sect Master, Tower Revered Master, this is my disciple, Zhang Yang."

Xin Buxiu's lips curled slightly upward, a flash of pride in his eyes,

as he said to the Sect Master of Wuling Sect and the Martial Refining Tower Revered Master beside him.

Sect Master of Wuling Sect Wu Tian and Martial Refining Tower Revered Master Wu Lian Pagoda Revered Master fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, their hearts filled with immense shock.

Ever since Zhang Yang entered,

both of them had focused all their attention on Zhang Yang, wanting to see through him.

Divine Ruins Realm, second layer cultivation—one layer higher than a month ago. That was acceptable!

After all, with exceptional talent, advancing one layer per month within the Divine Ruins Realm was still plausible!

However, when the two perceived the spiritual energy circulating within Zhang Yang's body, they couldn't help but take a sharp breath.

The spiritual energy within Zhang Yang's body was too pure, so pure it didn't seem like that of a Divine Ruins Realm Martial Artist at all.

It felt like the spiritual energy within a Venerable King Realm Martial Artist was only on par with Zhang Yang's current level.

This meant the quality of Zhang Yang's Divine Ruins Realm spiritual energy was comparable to that of the Venerable King Realm!

Truly, his talent was extraordinary!

The two exchanged a glance, each seeing the other's shock in their eyes!

This Zhang Yang was indeed as rumored—the Central Continent's number one Genius,

or rather, the number one Genius in millions of years, truly living up to his reputation!

Such a circumstance was something even they could not achieve in their time!

With spiritual energy so pure, yet his cultivation speed still so fast,

Zhang Yang's talent was probably countless times greater than theirs had been!

"Zhang Yang!" Wu Tian looked at Zhang Yang, revealing a slight smile and nodding:

"Truly a Genius unseen in millions of years! You live up to your reputation!"

A flicker of joy passed through Wu Tian's heart. Although he hadn't initially placed all his hopes on Zhang Yang,

now, having seen him with his own eyes, in his understanding,

Zhang Yang was indeed the one most likely in millions of years to obtain the subsequent path for the Martial Artists of the Central Continent.

If even Zhang Yang couldn't do it, then probably for millions more years, no one would be able to reach the summit of the Heavenly Ladder!

"Indeed!" On the other side, Martial Refining Tower Revered Master Wu Lian Pagoda Revered Master also nodded slightly:

"I'm afraid besides you, no one else can obtain the subsequent Due Realm cultivation method from the Heavenly Ladder."

Wu Lian Pagoda Revered Master couldn't help but sigh with emotion!
