Lin Heng's terrifying power, stemming from the three colors of his origin, intimidated Houtu.
Ultimately, Houtu had to take action herself, using her cultivation level, which surpassed that of Twelfth Grade Sovereign, to save her Houtu Palace.
In this way, Lin Heng passed all the tests of the third level of Heavenly Estate.
The next step was naturally for Dijiang and the others to formally acknowledge him as their master.
It has gained the approval of the twelve guardians.
Only in this way can one obtain the Estate-Suppressing Heavenly Jade, formed from the power of protection.
Only with this can the three Heavenly Estate be combined into a complete Heavenly Estate.
However, Lin Heng was not in a hurry to merge with Heavenly Estate.
Once the guardian's recognition ceremony is completed.
Dijiang then instructed Lin Heng to go to his old master Mu Chen's palace first, saying that Mu Chen had left something for him there.
Inside the palace hall!
Under the watchful eyes of the twelve guardians, Lin Heng went alone to the Starry Universe Palace that once belonged to Mu Chen.
We walked along a path strewn with stars.
Traverse the Milky Way.
Only then did they enter the Starry Universe Palace.
The moment Lin Heng stepped through the palace gates.
The restrictions left by Mu Chen were also triggered automatically.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of Lin Heng.
This is a clone left behind by a remnant soul, and the energy contained within it can only sustain its brief appearance once.
"Young man, you are the new master of Heavenly Estate!"
Mu Chen looked at Lin Heng and smiled slightly.
He stayed there, so naturally he was unaware of what was happening outside, and this was also the first time he had seen Lin Heng.
However, this was not the first time Lin Heng had met Mu Chen.
Back when I was exploring the second level of the Heavenly Estate.
Lin Heng had seen him before, within the legacy left behind by Mu Chen.
Facing the man who had given her such a great opportunity.
Lin Heng also took the initiative to bow and greet him, saying, " Lin Heng greets Senior Mu Chen."
Mu Chen nodded and smiled, then said:
"Being able to enter here means you have gained the approval of Dijiang and the others."
"Since you were able to pass their test, you must also know about my past."
Upon hearing this, Lin Heng's spirits lifted.
When Lin Heng received Mu Chen's inheritance...
They also gained many memories about Mu Chen.
However, a crucial part is missing.
The matter between Mu Chen and Primordial Chaos was not recorded in his inherited memories.
At that time, Mu Chen didn't want Lin Heng to know too much in order to protect him.
Lin Heng has now passed the test.
In other words, he is about to ascend from the Nine Heavens to the upper realm.
They certainly have the right to know about those grudges.
Mu Chen then stepped forward and stood in front of Lin Heng.
He raised his hand and gently touched Lin Heng's forehead with his fingertips.
Those fragmented memories belonging to Mu Chen also appeared in Lin Heng's mind.
Back then, Mu Chen was only one step away from achieving the Great Perfection of the Universe.
But it's not that he can't take that step.
However, he gained new insights during his cultivation journey.
Having achieved cosmic perfection and become the Life Sovereign within the universe, is this the end?
Mu Chen raised this question.
Even Lin Heng was astonished by Mu Chen's skepticism.
At least in Lin Heng's current understanding.
To become Life Sovereign like Primordial Chaos would mean being at the pinnacle of existence.
But Mu Chen was able to question the peak.
It has to be said that his idea was indeed quite crazy.
It was precisely because of his doubts that Mu Chen hesitated to take the final step.
Even during their cultivation journey, they had a disagreement with Primordial Chaos, and the two embarked on opposing paths.
The reason Mu Chen died was because he and Primordial Chaos discussed the Dao through their souls.
In Mu Chen's memory.
He and Primordial Chaos.
The sky is the chessboard.
The Milky Way serves as the dividing line.
The sun, moon, and stars are used as chess pieces.
The two used chess as a contest to discuss principles.
Unfortunately, Mu Chen lost in the end.
The price was the annihilation of his soul.
This wisp of remnant soul was only allowed to remain under Primordial Chaos's promise, awaiting Lin Heng's appearance.
When the memory scenes finished playing.
Mu Chen then spoke again.
"I am telling you this, my heir, not so that you may seek revenge for me."
"I have never harbored any hatred towards Primordial Chaos; it's simply that our paths diverge."
These two simple sentences stirred up a huge wave in Lin Heng's heart.
Different paths?
What is the true Tao?
Was the path I've been pursuing in the past correct?
Lin Heng's mind was in complete disarray.
Seeing Lin Heng's furrowed brows, Mu Chen seemed to guess what Lin Heng was thinking and said calmly:
"The Tao has never been defined."
"Everyone's path is different."
"Young man, remember, as long as you stay true to your original aspirations and keep going, that is your path."
Mu Chen's explanation made Lin Heng think even more deeply.
If it weren't for his words today...
Lin Heng believed it to be the end of the Dao.
It is the Sovereign of life.
That was in the eyes of all the cultivators.
It belongs to the supreme Heavenly Dao.
Only those who can truly control the Way of Heavenly Dao.
Only then could the Heavenly Dao suppress countless living beings.
Or perhaps, the so-called Heavenly Dao is actually the will of the Life Sovereign.
The Heavenly Dao has no clear definition.
However, this is precisely what perplexes Lin Heng now.
The Heavenly Dao was not clearly defined in Mu Chen's words.
This also left Lin Heng without a clear direction.
Just then, Mu Chen gently placed his hand on Lin Heng's shoulder.
Lin Heng looked up and saw Mu Chen's warm smile.
"From now on, you will go to the upper realm."
Primordial Chaos will not make things difficult for you.
But you must be careful of your Fate.
When the word ' Fate ' was mentioned, a hint of helplessness appeared deep in Mu Chen's eyes.
This made Lin Heng even more puzzled.
Fate is the will of Heaven.
Logically speaking, given Mu Chen's strength back then...
It should have already escaped the Fate of the Primordial Chaos World.
After all, it is still under the control of the Primordial Chaos destiny.
How could Mu Chen possibly discuss the Primordial Chaos soul?
That's something only someone at the same level of strength can do.
Unfortunately, Mu Chen did not seem inclined to explain this in detail.
"Although you have inherited my legacy."
But you'll have to walk your own path from here on out.
"Young man, I hope you can go further than me in the future."
Upon hearing this, Lin Heng looked at Mu Chen and asked a question.
"I wonder if there's anything else you wish for that I could help you fulfill?"
Since arriving in the Nine Heavens, Mu Chen left behind has been of great help to Lin Heng.
The other party left behind a remnant of their soul, waiting for them here.
Besides explaining the Primordial Chaos matter, Lin Heng was certain that Mu Chen would have other things he needed to handle.
Seeing that Lin Heng had taken the initiative to speak, Mu Chen smiled and took out a sachet from his pocket and handed it to Lin Heng.
"Throughout my life, I have been pursuing the ultimate Tao, neglecting the people around me."
"When you go to the Upper Realm and meet Yue Yao, please give this item to her for me."
And tell her that I have wronged her in this life.
Lin Heng accepted the sachet and nodded.
I will definitely do this for you.
Lin Heng put away the sachet in his hand, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
What kind of woman was she that Mu Chen thought of even in his final moments?
