Chaotic Heart Forest (Part 2)

Chapter Fourteen: Chaotic Heart Forest (Part 2)

"Heh, entering the Chaotic Heart Forest? Can a good-for-nothing from the Washing Yan Ancient Sect even do it?" disciples from the Nine Sacred Demon Gate sneered outside the Chaotic Heart Forest.

Another disciple chimed in, "Senior Brother Xu's assessment back then, he reached the fifth level of the Chaotic Heart Forest. Now he's already in the True Fate realm and is advancing towards the Canopy realm. His cultivation and his Dao heart are both much stronger than before. In my opinion, reaching the seventh level shouldn't be a problem."

The cultivation realms, from lowest to highest, are: Palace Invocation, Territory Expansion, Body Nourishment, Palace Opening, Longevity Strengthening, True Fate, Canopy, Nirvana Bath, Heavenly Origin, Spirit Nurturing...

When one reaches true invincibility and carries the Mandate of Heaven, they become an Immortal Emperor.

The world has never heard of immortals, let alone emperors who rule over them. However, there's a saying in the world: "My fate is mine to control, not Heaven's!"

The Mandate of Heaven is unique, and only immortals can control it. Therefore, when a cultivator reaches the pinnacle of invincibility, their pursuit is to seize the Mandate of Heaven and carry it themselves, truly reaching the state of "My fate is mine to control, not Heaven's!"

Only immortals can seize the Mandate of Heaven, and emperors live for countless years, so an Immortal Emperor signifies an immortal who can carry the Mandate of Heaven and live forever! Whether Immortal Emperors are truly immortal or not has always been a mystery.

Furthermore, the Mandate of Heaven is singular within a grand era; only one person can achieve the status of Immortal Emperor in a grand era.

At this moment, countless disciples from the Nine Sacred Demon Gate were gathered outside the Chaotic Heart Forest, all discussing this matter. In everyone's eyes, Li Qiye was no match for this written examination!

"Someone who cultivates martial arts, without even a Dao heart, how can they talk about entering the Chaotic Heart Forest?" someone sneered.

The Chaotic Heart Forest is where the Nine Sacred Demon Gate assesses the talent, wisdom, and Dao heart of its disciples. Here, the most important thing is the Dao heart!

The Chaotic Heart Forest has a total of fourteen levels. The vast Chaotic Heart Forest looks no different from an ordinary forest, but it was personally crafted by the Nine Sacred Demon Gate's ancestor, the Nine Sacred Great Sage.

Once one steps into the Chaotic Heart Forest, illusions will manifest, and they will feel as real as reality. Even those with discerning eyes cannot break through the illusions before them, unless you are more powerful than the Nine Sacred Great Sage was back then. Otherwise, the illusions generated here are as real as they appear!

For example, upon entering the Chaotic Heart Forest, you might experience the illusion of being in a sea of fire, and you would truly feel as if you were in a sea of fire, your entire body being burned, and you could clearly feel the pain. The deeper you go, the more intense this pain becomes.

Of course, during this process, you can also display your cultivation techniques to resist this pain, or unleash peerless techniques to withstand this powerful burning. However, none of this will allow you to pass through the entire Chaotic Heart Forest absolutely. Unless you are more powerful than the Nine Sacred Great Sage, you can use your techniques to absolutely block these illusions and pass through directly.

"Ignorant brat, you go first!" Outside the Chaotic Heart Forest, Xu Hui sneered at Li Qiye dismissively. For this kind of written examination, he had absolute and unparalleled confidence. He was confident that entering the eighth level of the Chaotic Heart Forest would be no problem for him!

Looking at the Chaotic Heart Forest, Li Qiye couldn't help but curve his lips. The Chaotic Heart Forest, personally crafted by that old rooster back then, was definitely a place to test one's Dao heart.

"Me?" Li Qiye said slowly, "Something like the Chaotic Heart Forest has no challenge for me. If I go first, I'm afraid you won't even get a chance to appear. You go first, lest you say I didn't give you an opportunity."

Li Qiye's boastful words made Protector Mo and Nan Huairen wish they could just seal his mouth shut. Would it kill him to brag a little less? He brags all day long!

"Ignorant fool!" Protector Xu snorted coldly and said, "A useless person who doesn't even know what a Dao heart is dares to speak so boastfully!"

Xu Hui trembled with anger. A mere mortal physique dared to look down on him like this! He laughed in rage and said, "Good, good, what a big mouth! I'd like to see how many levels you can reach!"

"How many levels? That's too unchallenging. Passing all fourteen levels is no big deal," Li Qiye said unhurriedly. "That's why I want you to go first, so as not to discourage you too much!"

"Pfft—" Li Qiye's arrogant words were too much for countless disciples of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate. One disciple said coldly, "Are all people from the Washing Yan Ancient Sect this shameless? They brag without even thinking!"

Protector Mo and Nan Huairen felt utterly embarrassed. They genuinely wished they could abandon Li Qiye right there. This was simply getting more and more outrageous with his boasting. They knew the Chaotic Heart Forest of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate all too well. Being able to reach the seventh level was already an incredible feat. For the younger generation of disciples, reaching the seventh level meant either an extremely firm Dao heart or very high cultivation!

Even Yu He, the Chief Protector, couldn't help but shake his head. How could the Washing Yan Ancient Sect accept such an exceptional individual as their Chief Disciple? Passing all fourteen levels of the Chaotic Heart Forest? This was simply bragging to the heavens; even he didn't have the strength to pass all fourteen levels of the Chaotic Heart Forest.

"Fourteen levels?" Xu Hui couldn't help but laugh wildly. He looked at Li Qiye and mockingly said, "If you can pass fourteen levels, I'll call you Dad!"

"I don't have an unfilial son like you!" Li Qiye said calmly, glancing at Xu Hui with a leisurely air.

Xu Hui lost his composure and was taken advantage of by Li Qiye, immediately becoming enraged. His eyes turned cold as he stared at Li Qiye and said, "Fine, since you've spoken so boastfully, do you dare to make a bet with me!"

"A bet? What kind of bet?" Li Qiye asked with a smile.

Xu Hui sneered sinisterly and said, "If you can pass fourteen levels, I'll admit defeat myself! If you can't, you'll crawl between my legs on your knees!"

Xu Hui's proposed bet made Protector Mo and Nan Huairen's expressions change. This wasn't just an assessment; it was a disguised humiliation of Li Qiye and also of the Washing Yan Ancient Sect. However, they could only shake their heads helplessly. This was Li Qiye asking for trouble.

"And if I pass fourteen levels? Will you also crawl between my legs?" Li Qiye glanced at him and asked with a faint smile.

"You—" Xu Hui's face turned red with anger, provoked by Li Qiye's words.

"If you pass fourteen levels! He will crawl between your legs on his knees. If you can't do it, you'll crawl between his legs!" Protector Xu said coldly at this moment. Li Qiye had killed Du Yuanguang, and he wished he could kill Li Qiye with his own hands. Since he couldn't kill Li Qiye now, humiliating him properly would suffice!

Li Qiye glanced at Protector Xu, then nodded seriously and said, "Alright, since you all want to bet so badly, I agree!"

"Senior Brother Xu, give him a hard time and bet with him!" the disciples of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate present shouted.

Xu Hui gave Li Qiye a sinister look and said menacingly, "I'll be waiting for you to crawl between my legs on your knees!" With that, he turned and walked away, stepping into the Chaotic Heart Forest.

"Heh, this time the Washing Yan Ancient Sect has lost all face. Their Chief Disciple will be crawling between Senior Brother Xu's legs!" the disciples of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate said with a strange laugh.

Protector Mo and Nan Huairen turned their faces away, unwilling to watch further. If Li Qiye could defeat Xu Hui, it would be a miracle. Passing all fourteen levels of the Chaotic Heart Forest? This was simply a fantasy! They wished they could leave right now. If Li Qiye really ended up crawling between Xu Hui's legs on his knees, the Washing Yan Ancient Sect would truly lose all face this time.

At this moment, Protector Mo couldn't help but hate Li Qiye, wishing he could teach him a good lesson!

As soon as Xu Hui stepped into the Chaotic Heart Forest, his vision instantly darkened. He had entered a ghost realm, a vast expanse of land stretching for thousands of miles, filled with surging ghost energy. Skeletons creaked and groaned, and corpses crawled out of the earth.

Xu Hui took a deep breath, circulated his cultivation technique, held firm to his Dao heart, ignored this ghost realm, and slowly walked further in.

"First level—" Everyone outside stared intently at Xu Hui within the Chaotic Heart Forest. Without any suspense, Xu Hui quickly passed the first level of the Chaotic Heart Forest.

"Second level—Third level—" Xu Hui was indeed impressive. Both his cultivation and his Dao heart were outstanding. He passed the third level at a rapid pace.

By the fourth level, his speed began to slow down because the skeletal fiends of the ghost realm started attacking him. Initially, he could ignore them, but after his arm was torn off a few times, he cried out in pain and instinctively fought back!

"Open—" By the fifth level, Xu Hui was completely immersed in the ghost realm. He roared and unleashed his treasures. His divine sword shot into the sky, and he spat out a True Artifact from his mouth. The True Artifact descended with strands of laws, sweeping across the surroundings.

A Life Wheel appeared behind Xu Hui's head, his blood energy surging. He unleashed peerless laws and charged forward in one go.

"Senior Brother Xu has actually cultivated the Great Sage Life Art, 'Fierce Slaughter Sword Art'!" Seeing Xu Hui pass the fifth level of the Chaotic Heart Forest with such powerful techniques, some disciples of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate were both envious and amazed.

Cultivation techniques are divided into Life Arts and Fate Arts, and there are also Body Techniques! Fate Arts primarily focus on killing, especially the Great Sage-level cultivation techniques left by the Nine Sacred Great Sage, which are even more powerful!

Seeing Xu Hui clear the fifth level, Li Qiye gently shook his head. "Chaotic Heart Forest, Chaotic Heart Forest. It's called the 'Chaotic Heart' for a reason. To try and force your way through with a cultivation technique is simply going down the wrong path! Back then, the Nine Sacred Great Sage established the Chaotic Heart Forest to temper the Dao hearts of his disciples!"

"The seventh level—" Weakly, Xu Hui broke into the seventh level, an achievement that amazed countless disciples.

Even Protector Xu was very satisfied. As his disciple, Xu Hui was indeed his pride. Although Xu Hui's talent was far from comparable to Princess Li Shuangyan, and his cultivation level was far inferior to Chief Disciple Leng Chengfeng, as a master, he was already very pleased with Xu Hui's accomplishments today.

With a "bang," Xu Hui had barely entered the seventh level when he could no longer endure it. Unable to withstand the power of the Chaotic Heart Forest, he was immediately thrown out.

"So close!" Xu Hui, disoriented by the Chaotic Heart Forest, took a while to regain his senses amidst the chaos. He couldn't help but cry out. He had thought he could reach the eighth level, but to only make it to the seventh, he had underestimated the power of the Chaotic Heart Forest.
