Taiyi had never felt as panicked as he did at this moment.
The way of the heart is an incomparably mysterious power. Although those who practice the way of the heart are not strong in the early stages, the transition from condensing the heart realm to reaching the state of manifestation of sainthood is a watershed. A true saint of the heart possesses unimaginable power.
There are very few strong people who have achieved sainthood in the flesh, but there are not many saints in the mind either. Taiyi has been here for billions of years and has only met a few people who practiced the way of the mind.
But in this trial world, everyone is just a mortal. It is impossible to cultivate the mind here or even reach the state of mental saint.
Therefore, Taiyi was so afraid that Ling Xiao could manifest his mind realm.
This means that Ling Xiao has awakened his mind in this world and has already acquired the cultivation of a heart saint.
Boom!
As Ling Xiao's mind realm emerged, his entire body became ethereal, emitting a transcendent aura. Boundless power burst out from his body, and the caged world around him suddenly collapsed.
puff!
As the cage collapsed, Taiyi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His body shook slightly and his breath became extremely weak.
Most of his strength was in the cage world. Now that the cage world collapsed, he also suffered a huge backlash.
boom!
The black sea around began to surge violently, and a cold, evil and strange aura emanated from it, as if it was about to boil, and countless sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling were heard.
"How on earth did you do it? This world can only withstand the power of the God Realm at most. How could you awaken the cultivation of a Heart Saint? Could it be... Could it be the destiny of heaven?!"
After the initial shock, Taiyi quickly regained his composure.
After all, he is a great hero and the former master of Taitian Heaven. Although he knows that the situation is hopeless and he is afraid that he will really die at the hands of Ling Xiao today, he still wants to get an answer.
"You're right, but not entirely correct! It is indeed the destiny of heaven that makes it easier for me to awaken my Heart Saint cultivation, but the most important thing is that you haven't seen through the essence of this world until now!"
Ling Xiao sighed lightly and did not continue to attack Taiyi. Taiyi no longer posed any threat to him.
"The nature of the world?"
Taiyi was slightly stunned.
"That's right! Don't you wonder why we came to this trial world and became mortals without any cultivation?"
Ling Xiao looked at Taiyi and asked.
"Of course I doubted it! But this is the trial world left by the Heavenly Prison Emperor. With the Heavenly Prison Emperor's cultivation, it is not difficult for him to quietly deprive us of our cultivation and let us undergo trials here like mortals!"
Taichi said slowly.
"You are wrong! Taiyi, even the Emperor of Heavenly Prison cannot be so silent, or you simply don't understand the mystery of the Heart Dao!"
Ling Xiao shook his head and said, although Taiyi had extraordinary cultivation, Ling Xiao was sure that he definitely had not cultivated the way of the mind, at least he had not reached the realm of the Heart Saint. Otherwise, with Taiyi's talent, he would have left this trial world long ago.
"What?! Xindao?"
Taiyi's whole body trembled, as if he suddenly understood something.
"You mean, this trial world is... the heart realm of Emperor Tianyu?!"
Taiyi's voice was trembling, and his face showed a complex expression of shock, disbelief and regret.
"That's right! That's right. It's because this place is the heart of Emperor Tianyu that he can quietly deprive everyone of their cultivation, isolate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the laws of heaven here, and make every trial-taker leave a trace in this world, but they can't see each other!"
Ling Xiao sighed softly. This was also his previous guess. It was not until he finally condensed his mind realm that he discovered the secret.
This world of trials is the heart realm of Emperor Tianyu!
Over the years, Ling Xiao had never seen the Ten Holy Kings, Hu Feng and others, nor was there any trace of them, which even made Ling Xiao wonder if they had not entered the trial world.
But when Ling Xiao flipped through the ancient books, he could truly see that all the powerful beings from the Heavenly Prison Realm mentioned on the Heavenly Might as Prison Monument had left their traces in this world.
This made Ling Xiao guess that this world might not be the only world, there might be many parallel worlds, and every trial-taker was in a different parallel world.
Only the realm of mind can do this.
The heart says, the ever-changing things are all the secrets of heaven, the only heart is eternal and indestructible!
“Hahaha… The inner world of Emperor Tianyu? It turns out I have been wrong all along! I have been wrong all along! I have always thought that as long as I accumulated powerful enough energy, I would be able to break through this world, but I didn’t know that my direction was wrong from the beginning!”
Taiyi laughed loudly, his voice was so sad that it made the surrounding black sea even more violent, and Taiyi's body became a little illusory.
Ling Xiao sighed softly. This blow was indeed enormous. If it were an ordinary person, he would have gone crazy long ago.
Taiyi has been waiting here for billions of years. The loneliness, darkness and desolation are enough to drive any living being crazy, but Taiyi has been able to hold on until now because of the support of hope and belief.
But now, that only hope is shattered.
Ling Xiao's eyes showed a trace of reluctance, but he still said softly: "Taiyi, although I don't want to tell you, I think you should still know! Do you think you are still alive now?"
Ling Xiao's voice exploded like thunder, instantly making Taiyi tremble all over and his face turn pale.
"The mind of the Heavenly Prison Emperor is extremely cruel! Not only does he isolate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the laws of heaven, but he also limits the life span of this world to no more than a hundred years! No one can even reach a life span of a hundred years, so the time given to the trial-taker is a hundred years.
If you can't leave within this hundred years, you will be buried here forever! Although you think you have planned everything and set up such a shocking situation, all this is just self-deception! You have already died, and now you are struggling to hold on but a regretful thought!"
Ling Xiao spoke slowly, and every word he said seemed to chisel into Taiyi's heart, making him tremble all over and become more and more unreal.
"Hahahaha... I've already died! I've already died! Emperor Tianyu, you're so cruel..."
Taiyi staggered all over, his voice was extremely sad, and his eyes were filled with deep hatred, which made Lingxiao a little depressed.
Taiyi is also a poor man.
