Chapter 929 The Dao Heart
"Are you going to challenge him again, Your Majesty?" Windshooter said. Although it was obvious with the other party coming to Mortalis, he wanted to confirm it. After all, he wanted to make preparations so that his sect wouldn't be affected greatly.
Thunder Empress wanted to know this, as well. The war between this legendary existence against that god was too much for the world to bear. Once the challenge started, the world was doomed to decline once again.
It was truly a catastrophe that affected not just Mortalis but also the Thousand Realms and Nine Heavens. As for the Dark Train? They weren't affected as they were not staying in a permanent timezone.
"Yes." Jin Rou answered shortly. He didn't have a reason to keep this, "And I'm planning to go all out in this generation. I've become tired of this charade, so I'll end it once and for all."
Unlike the previous times where Han Li had a escape plan in case things weren't looking good, Jin Rou didn't plan to back down this time. He would go all out and take that old man's head and take the dao source too.
"So this will be, by far, the darkest days of Mortalis." Windshooter nodded with a serious expression. It's not that he's blaming Jin Rou, he was just telling the worst thing to happen. After all, two apex beings would fight it out to the death this time around!
Thunder Empress also knew the implications of the upcoming battle. She would make sure that she's taken care of everything well before that happened.
Then, silence permeated the entire courtyard. Jin Rou broke the ice and asked, "Thunder God, is he still alive?"
The name of the sect was the actual name of their progenitor, Thunder God. He was a powerful being that commanded the strongest types of thunder. Even the Elemental Wind's progenitor lost against him in the past when they had a decent match.
"That, I don't know Your Majesty." Thunder Empress shook her head, "Thunder God disappeared just like a bubble one day and had never seen again. We suspected that he went for a long trip, but it seems not the case."
"He perhaps abandoned your sect for something." Windshooter didn't filter his words and said, "This is not an unusual situation."
That's true. Those people who stood at the peak of their experties usually go for something unfamiliar to discover a new world. To expand their horizons and become stronger. Abandoning one's sect was like a common situation, even for era emperors. After all, they couldn't stay here for a long time unlike in Western Emperor Region where the home of the strongest emperors were currently residing.
"Maybe." Thunder Empress didn't want to talk about it. She felt bitter if the progenitor really abandoned them for the dao. But she somehow could understand it. After all, many would perhaps do the same if they were under the same situation.
"You don't need to look depressed." Jin Rou smiled, "The dao is arduous. So anyone can choose their path. Be it progenitors, ancestors, emperors, and saints, they have different paths and choices to take. It's a natural course of the dao and life."
Jin Rou paused for a moment, "Moreover, your progenitor loves your sect more than you imagine. If not, how can he impart the Hundred Thunder God Slashes to his descendants?"
"That dao law is incomplete, Your Majesty." Thunder Empress shook her head, "Hundred Thunder God Slashes has three moves. But he only left the first two. Without the complete method, we cannot exert its full power and potential."
Hundred Thunder God Slashes was the strongest Emperor Dao Law that Thunder God himself honed and created. He modified it for several times before actually coming into completion. It was rumored that this dao law was what almost killed an overlord paragon in the past.
The dao law had three moves, the Hundred Slashes, the second move being the Thousand Realm Slashes, and for the last move, Million Slash of Earth.
The move Million Slash of Earth had gone missing for so long now. No one knew where it was, or did Thunder God purposely not give it away. No one knew. But the fact that the dao law was incomplete was there.
Jin Rou shook his head and said, "If Thunder God is here, you descendants will be receiving a smack in the head. I told you, he loved the sect so much. How could he bear not to impart the full version of his Emperor Dao Law?"
He stood up and explained, "Remember, Hundred Thunder God Slashes uses the dao heart to execute. It means that one had to have a sturdy dao heart in order unleash it."
"The dao heart is a vital part of cultivation. You cannot expect to do powerful techniques without mastering it. After all, many dao laws depended on the firm dao heart."
Everyone was listening attentively. Even the Greenhouse Master was listening carefully. Words of Jin Rou was like diamonds and golds. One couldn't take it lightly, and one must be lucky to actually hear such preach.
And then, Jin Rou continued, "Life is the dao. And the dao is the heart. Always bear this in mind. Each of them is connected to each other, and no matter what, they will always interact."
Jin Rou resumed his speech for more than an hour before concluding, "That's all."
He didn't expect that he would go preaching these old beings. He was a bit carried away there.
Thunder Empress and Windshooter were in trance. It took several seconds before they could snap back to their reality. It seemed that they have greatly benefited from this.
Greenhouse Master was the first to bow down in respect and gratitude, "Your words contains millions of truths, I'm in awe and in gratitude."
