Chapter 6870 Spirit Dao Seeking Heart

Long Chen sat at the peak of a mountain in the rear of the Flame God Sect, gazing absentmindedly at the nearby stone mountains.

Chi Yutong and Xin Yu approached him. Seeing him like his, Xin Yu teased him, saying, “Long Chen, what are you thinking about? You look distracted. Are you thinking about all your women?”

When Long Chen returned to the Flame God Sect, he asked for a quiet place, so Chi Yutong brought him here. She made sure no one else from the sect could enter the rear mountains.

Chi Yutong also took care of Yan Li. He wasn’t hurt, just worn out from pushing himself too hard. Getting his revenge had left him drained, but he would recover after some rest.

Chi Yutong had other things to do, but Xin Yu insisted she come along to check if Long Chen was training.

It was taboo to secretly watch someone train, and Chi Yutong wouldn’t normally do it. But after Xin Yu kept urging her, she agreed, as long as they left right away if Long Chen was in seclusion.

As a result, they found that Long Chen wasn’t training. He was just sitting there, leaning against a boulder with his hands on the back of his head. He was staring blankly into the distance.

Long Chen shook his head. Long Chen thought to himself that Xin Yu was far too curious for her own good. He looked at the giggling girl for a while, unsure how to respond.

“Long Chen, your battle is coming up soon. Don’t be careless. If you don’t use our training grounds or get yourself ready, we’ll be worried about you,” Chi Yutong said sincerely.

She had heard about Yan Sheng’s reputation for a long time. He had made many enemies but was still doing well, which meant he was much stronger than he seemed.

“He doesn’t matter to me. But there’s something else I need your help with. It’s dangerous, so I’ve been unsure about asking. It could even implicate your sects,” Long Chen said seriously.

“I’m not scared! I just want to know if it’ll be fun. Is it something exciting enough to shake the whole Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture?” Xin Yu exclaimed, growing even more excited instead of backing down.

Long Chen was speechless. She really hadn’t grown up at all. Was that really a good thing?

Chi Yutong was much calmer. With the dignity of a divine daughter, she solemnly said, “Long Chen, you’ve helped my Flame God Sect rise. Even if what you ask would crush my bones to dust, I don’t mind. As for implicating the sect, if it weren’t for you, the Flame God Sect probably wouldn’t have lasted much longer. It’s not just me; everyone in the Flame God Sect owes you a debt. Don’t worry about us!”

Long Chen nodded. Since Chi Yutong had said that much, it would be impolite for him not to ask for her help.

“Xin Yu, your spirit heart power is really strong. I need your help. I promise that after this, no matter what happens, I’ll owe you a favor!” Long Chen said.

“No problem! I’m in,” Xin Yu said, patting her chest.

Long Chen was speechless again. This child didn’t even know what his favor was.

If Long Chen had any other choice, he wouldn’t have agreed to take Xin Yu along. Even if he did, he would need her parents’ permission. But he really did need her help.

“Xin Yu, when your spirit heart power reaches its highest level, can it sense the spirit of the heavens? The heart of the heavens?” Long Chen asked.

“How... how did you know that?” Xin Yu was shocked. This was a top secret in the Spirit Heart Sect, passed down only to each new sect master.

Because she was the future sect master and the daughter of the current one, Yue Tianming had told her earlier than usual, just to give her an idea.

Spirit heart power was incredibly deep. All its techniques revolved around sensing the ten thousand spirits.

Because of this, the Spirit Heart Sect’s techniques were almost impossible to counter. Sensing the ten thousand spirits was just their basic skill. Above that was sensing the ten thousand existences.

The ten thousand spirits meant anything living, with emotions that could be sensed.

But the ten thousand existences referred to things most people would say had no life at all. For example, a table, a hammer, or a brick. In theory, these things were not alive. But according to the Spirit Heart Sect’s central technique, these ten thousand existences also had a kind of life.

When they were created, they gained their own life and feelings. But whether their maker gave them these, or they developed them on their own, no one knew.

Above the ten thousand spirits was the ten thousand existences. Above those were the thousand laws, which controlled everything. Xin Yu had been in seclusion to try to sense them.

Above the ten thousand laws were the ten thousand Daos. But the Spirit Heart Sect’s highest secret manual only went as far as sensing the ten thousand laws. The ten thousand Daos were either just a concept or something lost over time.

The Spirit Heart Sect also had a record about the heart and spirit of the heavens. But it was so ancients that the words were hard to read, and none of the sect masters had ever understood what it meant.

So when Long Chen brought it up, it was no wonder Xin Yu was shocked.

“It was just a guess. I have something I want you to sense the karma of. Can you see its past and future?” asked Long Chen.

“That’s impossible. My Spirit Heart Sect doesn’t have such an ability,” said Xin Yu, shaking her head like a rattlesnake.

“Then what if I wanted you to see something’s karma threads? Could you find its true body from just a piece?” Long Chen asked again.

Xin Yu pondered that question and replied, “It’s possible, but the Void Piercing Spirit Eyes would need to reach at least the seventh level, and the Spirit Dao Seeking Heart should reach the third level. Currently, my Void Piercing Spirit Eyes are only at the fifth level, and I am just starting the first level of the Spirit Dao Seeking Heart. According to my dad, advancing to the next level might take me at least ten years. If it turns out to be too difficult, I can ask my dad for help. With his realm, assisting you in finding something shouldn’t be a problem."

Long Chen shook his head. He definitely couldn’t ask any of those crafty old fellows. He had to find someone he trusted for this.

“What if I gave you something with karma so strong it could affect the spirit of the heavens? Could you sense it now?” Long Chen asked.

The spirit of the heavens and the heart of the heavens were metaphors. If someone regarded the heavens as alive, then it was a living being with its own spirit, feelings, and heart.

The Spirit Heart Sect’s name indicated that its highest goal was to become one with the heavens. Long Chen desired that deep perceptive ability.

“What could possibly have such major karmic implications? One of the ten primal chaos divine items? Hey, did I guess right?” Xin Yu asked, staring at Long Chen in shock.

“And if that were the case?” Long Chen replied.

Xin Yu was badly shocked but dejectedly said, “It’s no good. With my power, I cannot trace that kind of karma. I would need to make a breakthrough first.”

Thinking of how she would need to train another ten years, Xin Yu felt a wave of powerlessness.

Long Chen sank into thought and suddenly asked, “Do you trust me?”

“Of course I trust you. What is it?”

“If you trust me, I can help you quickly advance to the next realm!”

Xin Yu stared at him in dumbfounded shock.
