There are a total of 9981 questions in the Road of Questioning the Heart, which point directly to one's true heart and contain a test of one's obsession with martial arts and one's seven emotions and six desires.
If you can pass the test within one day, you will be considered qualified.
"Are you asking about your heart? Whether in my previous life or now, my heart for martial arts has never wavered!"
There was a hint of sharpness in Ling Xiao's eyes, and he slowly took a step forward.
Boom!
The world changed, and Ling Xiao appeared in a magnificent palace. He sat on the dragon throne, surrounded by peerless beauties in tulle. Their eyes were full of love, and they were all looking at Ling Xiao affectionately.
Many of these peerless beauties were faces Ling Xiao was familiar with, including Liu Piaopiao, Nangong Qing, Ji Feixuan, Ji Shuiyao, Ling Qingqing, and even Fengnu and Yueshen.
They danced in front of Ling Xiao, exuding a unique alluring aura, and their bodies were extremely hot.
As the saying goes, even a hero cannot resist the temptation of beauty, let alone a hot-blooded and proud young man? As long as there is a slight flaw in his state of mind, he will probably fall.
But Ling Xiao just watched it all coldly, his eyes were clear, and he still walked slowly forward.
"Ling Xiao, don't go. Don't you love me anymore?"
"Ling Xiao, I am willing to grow old with you. I am willing to bear many children for you. We will be very happy. Why do you want to leave me?"
"Ling Xiao, why are you so cruel? Is the path of martial arts so important
"… "
Ling Xiao's ears recalled the gentle voices of Moon Goddess, Phoenix Girl and others, wanting them to turn back and immerse themselves in the land of tenderness forever.
"Martial arts are eternal, and my path is to the peak of martial arts! Beauty and withered bones, rosy skulls, are nothing but floating clouds!"
Ling Xiao sighed softly, without even looking back. He ignored the calls from behind and the tender feelings of the beauty. He was like a cold-blooded man, determined and ruthless at every step.
boom!
The surrounding scenes disappeared, and Ling Xiao appeared in an inexplicable world.
Surrounding it are supreme divine weapons, peerless miraculous medicines, countless Pure Yang Pills, and immense wealth, emitting brilliant light and sparkling precious radiance.
Ling Xiao could feel that the fluctuations of those supreme divine weapons and magical medicines were so dazzling and exactly the same as the real ones, and were not illusions at all.
It seemed that as long as he stayed for a moment, he would be able to make those powerful artifacts recognize their master and even gain unparalleled power.
But Ling Xiao still didn't stop at all.
He always sticks to his heart, knows his direction, and never hesitates.
On this road of self-examination, Ling Xiao experienced one test and temptation after another, but he never stopped.
Boom!
In the void, there were thunder explosions, dazzling light, and a mysterious voice sounded, which went straight into the depths of his soul.
"Ling Xiao, as long as you stop, you will have wealth that rivals a country, boundless power, and a peerless beauty. The road of martial arts is too lonely, and the peak of martial arts is illusory. Why don't you stop and enjoy it all?"
"Ling Xiao, you have parents and family, and you will have a wife and children in the future. You are so unkind, you only know martial arts, and you don't understand human ethics. Are you a good son, a good husband, and a good father?"
"Ling Xiao, as long as you stop, this world will be yours. You are the god of this world. You can do whatever you want!"
"Ling Xiao, as long as you stop, all your enemies will die, your loved ones will be happy, you will be immortal and happy forever, isn't that good?"
"Ling Xiao, as long as you stop, you can get everything. Why do you still have to work so hard to pursue the path of martial arts?"
"… "
Mysterious interrogations sounded in the void, about the seven emotions and six desires, about greed, ignorance, anger, about love, hate, and separation, all pointing directly to Ling Xiao's heart.
"I don't want to!"
Ling Xiao looked up at the sky, his eyes were sharp as if they could pierce through the sky, and his voice was firm and resolute.
"I don't want to reach the sky in one step, because if my foundation is not solid, the higher I fly, the harder I will fall sooner or later!"
"I don't want to leave my fate to others. I want to control my own destiny. Whether it's honoring my parents, loving my wife and children, protecting everything I love, or even killing my enemies, I will accomplish them one by one! My fate is in my own hands!"
"I don't want to go against my heart. I like the feeling of being down to earth because that's the real me!"
"No one can make decisions for me on the path I have chosen, not even the heavens!"
With every step Ling Xiao took, a decisive word came out of his mouth, and the illusory world around him quickly shattered.
Countless temptations, countless illusions, everything was like a passing cloud, shattered one after another.
"Ling Xiao, do you miss Jin Se? As long as you stop, Jin Se will be with you, and we will never be separated!"
Suddenly, a voice exploded once again in the depths of Ling Xiao's soul, and Ling Xiao's originally extremely firm heart could not help but tremble slightly.
The world changed, and Ling Xiao came to a familiar place.
This is the Twin Mountains, with two graceful peaks rising from the ground and reaching the sky. Surrounding them are towering ancient trees, and countless exotic flowers and plants are in full bloom, emitting a faint fragrance.
The sky is high, white clouds are floating, and the sun shines on our bodies, warm and soft.
In front of Ling Xiao, a woman in a red dress with bright white teeth was smiling at him, her eyes full of gentleness.
"Brother Lingxiao, come here quickly! Come and play with me!"
"Brother Ling Xiao, do you know that I miss you so much!"
Jinse said to Lingxiao with a smile, her voice as clear as a silver bell.
"Jinse...Jinse..."
Ling Xiao's eyes became slightly moist as he looked at the face in front of him that had haunted him. Even though he knew that this was just an illusion, and that this was just the Jinse condensed from the memories stolen from his heart by the Temple of Time, Ling Xiao was still too excited to control himself.
"Jinse, are you okay?"
Ling Xiao stopped, stood beside Jinse and asked softly.
"Brother Ling Xiao, I'm fine! Can you stay with me? I've been waiting for you for ten thousand years, and I don't want to be separated from you anymore!"
Jinse looked at Lingxiao affectionately, then walked up to him gently and hugged him.
Ling Xiao trembled all over, and held the delicate body in his arms, warm and real. His hands tightly wrapped around Jinse's slender waist, and everything was so real.
Smelling that familiar scent and looking at Jinse's smiling face, this was the first time Ling Xiao saw Jinse after ten thousand years.
Although it was in this way, and although it was just an illusion, Ling Xiao finally saw Jinse.
