Chapter 1708: Chapter 1029: The World Falls Silent

The Utopia Array, although not a rare item, in Jiang Hui’s view, even if it were a rare item, its value cannot be compared to the formation.

The general concept of its defense capabilities, coupled with the rare growth attributes, to be honest, even among all the rare items, few can compare with the Utopia Array.

However, the slight drawback is that the growth capability of the array is not as strong as imagined.

After reaching the Sacrificial Path Realm, the entire Utopia Array barely encapsulates a Great Realm, while in the Immortal Emperor’s Realm, it’s only about a tenth the area of a Supreme Great Realm.

And this doesn’t refer to the actual area as large as a Great Realm, but rather the maximum number of living beings that can reside within one section.

The distinction here is significant.

Yet, items with growth attributes are exceedingly rare, not to mention the unparalleled defense attributes besides growth power, which are even more invaluable, and it’s not a rare item, naturally one cannot demand too much from the Utopia Array.

As for the Ten Thousand Realms, he cannot protect it.

But Peach Grove, his foundational territory and Taoist field, must be preserved at any cost.

However, upon this thought, Jiang Hui suddenly remembered when the Phantom Primordial Ancestor broke through the formation’s protection, forcibly entered his dream to hunt him down.

Such methods were inexplicably eerie, leaving one defenseless, even he couldn’t sense it beforehand, a slight carelessness would result in a path entry, fortunately, the eerie passage constructed by the Phantom Primordial Ancestor was unstable, breaking the passage would avert it.

What he worries about is, since the Phantom Primordial Ancestor knows that method, there’s no reason for the Red-Haired Monster not to, after all, both originated from the same lineage.

If the Red-Haired Monster strikes, it certainly won’t be easy to evade.

The mind, although different from the Primordial Spirit, is also the most fragile place for a living being.

As the saying goes, thinking during the day affects dreams at night, this is the mind.

The mind is related to consciousness; likewise, it’s also related to the Primordial Spirit.

In a sense, it is the root and origin of the real world,

Regarding the mind, Taoism speaks of Heart Purification and Sitting Forgetfulness, from which two different paths are derived.

Heart Purification, as the name implies, literally understood, is through purifying the mind, freeing oneself from distractions and desires, returning to the true state of self.

Sitting Forgetfulness is about forgetting oneself and the outer world, reaching the realm of forgetting both self and material; in meditation, forgetting the body, knowledge, and the mundane, entering a state of no-self, unity with the universe.

Whether it’s the Boundary Sea, or the even more vast Sacrificial Sea, even an Immortal Emperor might lose oneself within, they can essentially be viewed as a collective of primordial chaotic consciousness of living beings.

If the Red-Haired Monster were to attack using the same method, he truly has no good solution to resolve it, just unsure how one would fare when perishing in the dream in reality?

The physical body should remain unscathed, but the Primordial Spirit would most likely be annihilated, probably resulting in a Dark Immortal Spirit dominating the body.

An even greater threat.

If he truly were to become uncanny, the Immortal Domain would inevitably perish, no one could withstand him.

After much pondering, he couldn’t conceive a solution, instead focusing on the refinement of his mind during this time, as a precaution.

However, last time, after he merged the stone jar with the budding Rule, the solidity of his mind significantly strengthened, if such a situation were to occur, it might not be as pessimistic as he imagines.

Overall, when the car reaches the mountain, there will be a road, if there isn’t, then one jumps off the cliff, there might be a lake at the bottom, don’t those protagonists in martial arts novels always survive falling off cliffs, then either gain a magical skill or meet a strong master and become their disciple; if they truly die from the fall, then there’s nothing that can be done.

In short, do your best and leave the outcome to fate.

Exert your utmost strength, as for the final result, to be honest, no one can control it, not even those above the Sacrifice Path.

...

The Banished Immortal calmed himself, contemplating how to breach the Emperor Road’s heart refinement.

He understood, to break through to the Emperor Realm, he must find an opportunity within this arduous heart refinement challenge.

Yet as to where this opportunity lies, he remained utterly clueless.

"Perhaps I should consider the essence of this heart refinement scene."

"The Emperor Road’s heart refinement is certainly not merely a simple test of the heart; it must be related to my Tao heart and the ultimate principles of this heaven and earth."

"What I’ve always pursued is that transcendent Tao of the heavens and earth, but what exactly is this ultimate Tao? Is it the utmost power, or the perfection of the heart?"

Before him, scene after scene flowed.

Like a watery scene, at this moment, it resembled a stop-motion animation.

The Banished Immortal felt an unprecedented loneliness surge, spreading throughout his body, he looked upwards, ahead was vast and desolate, besides himself, there was no other living being.

This unprecedented feeling of loneliness shocked him to the core.

Amidst the rolling red dust like waves, beside him, it seemed that there were no companions, only his solitary journey.

Mountains served as paper, heavens and earth as ink.

The scenes before him flashed like a horse lamp, rapidly fleeting, rising again.

People experience joy and sorrow, the moon waxes and wanes.

Every time he witnessed others’ experiences, it always unsettled his mind, ultimately, he immersed himself completely in the standpoint of the story’s protagonist.

The Banished Immortal did not resist this feeling; later on, he even cooperated willingly with it.

He has a premonition that the heart refinement at the Immortal Emperor’s Realm will certainly be different from previous realms.

Most critically!
