"He actually passed the eighth trial, how is that possible?" Shen Sanqian expressed deep disbelief.
He had never imagined Xu Ping’an could pass so many trials.
In his view, Xu Ping’an passing the fifth trial was already the limit.
Yet, unexpectedly, Xu Ping’an had passed eight trials all at once.
He was now just one trial away from completing the entire ordeal.
Could this guy really pass the Artefact Divine Temple’s assessment?
If that were the case, the entire Four Great Spirit Realms would be astounded.
The inheritance of the Artefact Divine Temple was exceedingly important, coveted by many not only in the Immortal Realm but also in the Divine Realm.
Thus, if Xu Ping’an were to truly obtain the inheritance, he would undoubtedly become a target for many.
However, the opportunities Xu Ping’an was going to obtain would also be incredibly vast.
Shen Sanqian took a deep breath and looked towards the direction of the Artefact Divine Temple, his eyes carrying a mix of complexity: jealousy, envy, and a touch of melancholy.
Xu Ping’an was unaware of these things, and he was currently absorbing the power brought about by the rapid increase in his cultivation.
As he gained control over these powers, his strength had become incredibly formidable.
Now, within the realm of Immortal Emperor, it was very difficult to find an opponent for him.
"Unexpectedly, in such a short time, my strength has once again reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm, comparable to my previous life," Xu Ping’an thought to himself.
Although there was still a considerable gap in realms, in terms of combat power, his strength was no weaker than before.
With such strength, there were few in the Four Great Spirit Realms who could challenge him.
Of course, some of the ancient sect’s Immortal Emperor Realm powerhouses could still defeat him.
However, he had not yet encountered any Immortal Emperor Realm powerhouses.
"Just one more trial, after one more, I can obtain the inheritance of the Artefact Divine Sect, but I do not know what this inheritance is, nor do I know how difficult this final trial will be," Xu Ping’an thought to himself.
He walked towards the ninth stele.
The old man appeared again in front of Xu Ping’an, smiling as he looked at him.
"Not bad, having passed the previous eight trials, your talent and strength have both been recognized, but this ninth trial is not easy," the old man said with a smile.
"Do you mean to say that others have also passed the previous eight trials?" Xu Ping’an asked curiously.
"Yes, and there were two of them, but neither of them could pass the ninth trial," the old man responded with a smile.
"Is this ninth trial that difficult?" Xu Ping’an asked in surprise.
Those who could pass the previous eight trials were undoubtedly exceptionally talented.
Yet, they had all failed to pass the ninth trial, indicating how challenging this ninth trial must be.
"Actually, this ninth trial, it’s difficult if said to be difficult, and easy if said to be easy, it tests not talent or comprehension, but your Dao Heart," the old man said with a smile.
"Dao Heart?" Xu Ping’an frowned.
"You’ll see for yourself," the old man said with a smile.
Xu Ping’an hesitated no more and activated the ninth stele.
As he activated the ninth stele, text began to appear on it.
"What is Dao?" Xu Ping’an looked at the question on the stele, his face filled with surprise.
He didn’t expect the final assessment to be such a question.
What is Dao?
What truly is Dao?
Is this what the old man meant by Dao Heart?
"That’s right, this final question is to test what your Dao Heart truly is, only if you can truly answer this question, will you pass the assessment," the old man said with a smile.
Xu Ping’an’s gaze grew intense.
This question was elusive, how difficult it was to provide a correct answer!
What is Dao, a hundred people could have a hundred different answers.
Yet the old man had mentioned before that those two had not passed, indicating their answers were incorrect.
But how could this question have a correct answer?
For a moment, Xu Ping’an also became perplexed.
"You only have one day to think about it, if you can’t answer it, then you will be deemed to have failed the task, young man, think carefully, do not answer rashly," the old man said with a smile.
After finishing his words, the old man disappeared in the hall.
Xu Ping’an watched the direction in which the old man disappeared, his gaze growing even more intense.
Only one day’s time.
In fact, he had also pondered this question in his previous life.
What is Dao?
In his past life, Dao meant rules, the order of the heavens and earth.
Their cultivation was to master this order.
Yet, with the experiences of this life, he realized some things were not as he had imagined.
Dao was not just a manifestation of rules; often, Dao encompassed many things.
Its profundity was far deeper than he had imagined.
For example, the existence of the Defying Heaven Alliance and the Human Dao Alliance, the competition behind them must contain unknown secrets.
This also must involve the great Dao of heaven and earth.
Moreover, the Dao asked by the stele was not the essence of Dao, but the Dao Heart.
What is Dao?
That is, asking what one’s Dao Heart is.
What has he been cultivating for up to now?
For revenge?
Or to protect the people he cares about?
Or perhaps to become strong and be an unrivaled powerhouse?
However, in Xu Ping’an’s view, these did not represent his Dao Heart.
For a time, Xu Ping’an also fell deep into thought.
