CHAPTER 86: CHAPTER 86: IN THE DEPTHS OF HEART AND SPIRIT, STRUGGLING ACROSS THE SEA OF SUFFERING

The video came and went swiftly, disappearing from the internet after a day.

Together with that account, it vanished without a trace.

Online aliases are as transient as clouds and smoke; the little commotion he caused would soon blow over.

But what he was truly concerned about now was.

"What secret does that ’East’ character hold, after all?"

In that space of the Immortal Burial, the ’East’ formed by the Evil Gods’ corpses pinned there, Su Tu saw immense power.

His mouth slightly opened and closed, contemplating that character.

Yet no matter what, he couldn’t bring himself to utter that character.

As if it were some kind of taboo.

Not allowed by the present world, not permitted!!

The origins of the Immortal Burial are mysterious, there must be a great secret behind it.

But with his current strength, it seemed he couldn’t yet touch the things behind that character.

"No rush."

The principles of the world are all interconnected, as Su Tu, being a top student, understood one thing.

Don’t get caught up in a tough problem, it will only make you miss other opportunities.

The best solution is to tackle other problems first, then revisit it later.

This character was the unsolvable problem at hand.

"Try to improve cultivation and realm during this period; the Training Camp might not necessarily have some genius Martial Artists."

Su Tu tapped the table, pondering in his mind.

The heroes of the world roam freely; talents are like carp crossing the river. Su Tu didn’t think he had the style of a Martial God simply because of external praise and thus underestimated others.

He wouldn’t change because of outside recognition or denial but would proceed step by step towards his own goals.

Calming his thoughts, he formed the Heaven-Flipping Seal.

This was his recent new discovery; the Heaven-Flipping Seal had the power to calm the mind, and if he cultivated in this state of calm, there might be unexpected surprises.

The Heart and Spirit Incense in the room slowly burned, of course, provided by angel investor Li Hu.

Heart Thought slightly sunk, Heart and Spirit descended.

In a few moments of trance, Su Tu’s Heart and Spirit began to submerge into his own world.

Just as he was about to enter his world, he had already vaguely seen the twin moons and Heishan.

In the outside world, the hand seals Su Tu clasped suddenly flickered with faint light.

The next moment!!

Su Tu’s Heart and Spirit slightly quivered.

Buzz!!

His world scattered!!

"What is going on!!"

Since Su Tu began the Collection Dao, it was the first time encountering such a situation. His world had rooted like a home in his Heart and Spirit, but now...

It was equivalent to Su Tu just using facial recognition to enter his home, only to find the house stolen!!

This situation left Su Tu stunned, at a loss.

Yet the next moment, an intangible wave resonated outwards.

In an instant, it pulled Su Tu into endless nothingness.

A vast, boundless world slowly unfolded before his eyes.

Everything here seemed both illusory and real.

It was difficult to describe this world in words; everything here was constructed by Heart and Spirit.

The place Su Tu stood was a desolate ’sea’.

Indeed, the surging waves beneath his feet, the dark waves ebbed, seemingly hiding countless secrets.

At this moment, he stood upon this sea and curiously took a few steps forward. The sensation was peculiar; he indeed walked on the sea, feeling its moistness, yet it was as steady as walking on ground.

"Wow, there’s a master, master, please share your insights on crossing over!!"

"Oh my, treading on the Sea of Suffering, who is this master reminiscing about hardships and sweetness in the Sea of Suffering."

"I’m still figuring out how to swim a bit further; now seeing such a grandmaster, my Dao heart is shattered!!"

Suddenly, a babble of faint sounds erupted next to Su Tu’s ear. Following the sounds, he finally saw innumerable ’candles’ in the Black Sea.

They emitted faint light, striving forward in the sea; those voices were theirs.

"These are other people’s Heart and Spirit!"

Looking at these flames, this thought arose in Su Tu’s mind.

These flames were all crossing, swimming towards the Other Shore of the Sea of Suffering.

"Why do you swim?" Su Tu’s Heart Thought moved, and his voice boomed like thunder across the Sea of Suffering.

Even Su Tu himself was startled by the sudden effect of his light words.

A flame near him extinguished under his voice.

Rumble!!

"Master, please lower your voice!!"

"Oh no, some poor soul’s going back to their own world to mend their Heart and Spirit."

"Master, you really are carefree, speaking as if it’s nothing; crossing the Sea of Suffering is naturally to step into the Mortal World and gain five hundred years of Heart Life. Otherwise, my body might endure, but my Heart and Spirit will give way and perish, how regretful."

A voice of Heart and Spirit came through.

Su Tu just thought to say something more.

But, his Heart and Spirit slightly wavered, as if unable to sustain, the next moment, he felt the summons of his world, then his Heart and Spirit vanished into nothingness, disappearing from the Sea of Suffering.

In a moment of daze, Su Tu was already in his world.

The big cat nuzzled his face, but Su Tu wasn’t in the mood to play. Pretending to pluck the fur on its head, the big cat was instantly frightened, covering its head tightly.

"Just now, I went to the Sea of Suffering."

Recollecting the scenes just now, Su Tu recalled Li Hu’s words when explaining the Collection Dao to him.

"You can view the depths of your Heart and Spirit as a mysterious, grand world, crossing the endless Sea of Suffering, stepping into the Mortal World, traversing the ancient burial grounds, seeing the Other Shore of all beings."

At that time, Su Tu thought it was just a figurative way of describing, but now it seemed not quite so.

Casting this endless Sea of Suffering seemed to indeed mean traversing an endless Sea of Suffering.

The information about Heart and Spirit Cultivation on forums was sparse, showing its valuing and secrecy among families, with treasures kept undisclosed.

"Heart and Spirit Cultivation, truly wondrous; tomorrow, I must ask Brother Hu what this is all about."

Thinking so, in a drowsy state, he resonated with his world, then commenced the Collection Dao.

Opening his eyes again, the sky was already getting light.

"The state feels off, before doing Collection Dao, I always had energy to play some, but yesterday after returning from that Sea of Suffering, I was inexplicably fatigued, involuntarily entering Collection Dao state."

Su Tu got up, sensing his condition, the fatigue had already dissipated.

[You completed a session of Sea of Suffering Collection Dao, Collection Dao skill level +50, Spiritual Wisdom Proficiency +20]

[Collection Dao (Middle Tier): 590/1000]

[Spiritual Wisdom (Middle Tier): 930/1000]

Looking at the system prompts before him, Su Tu knew his guess was real; truly there were countless secrets behind this Heart and Spirit.

No wonder, it’s called the path to the Immortals and Gods!

Continuing at this pace, his Spiritual Wisdom could soon break through.

"Weren’t they supposed to send me candies?"

"How come there’s been no movement lately." Thinking of the experience baby, Su Tu thought, although his progress was swift, getting experience babies was the real deal.

"Hope they aren’t tricking me."

He pondered, stroking his chin, while everyone else feared the Three Deceits Cult would find them, Su Tu instead feared the Three Deceits Cult would not find him; otherwise, where would he find his experience baby!
