"Obsession?"
Zhou Ze pondered silently.
As his disciple, Luo Feng's innermost thoughts could not be hidden from him due to the cheat system. Luo Feng successfully gained the Star Tower's recognition as his master, and he probably knew this even earlier than the Mountain Guest.
Actually, Zhou Ze was a little uneasy when Luo Feng went to accept the Star Tower's recognition of him as its master. The main reason why Luo Feng was able to successfully accept the Star Tower's recognition in the original work was that his obsession lay with his family.
But now that he exists, Luo Feng has no worries about the safety of his family, even if he dies.
"Luo Feng is indeed a cheat code!"
Zhou Ze sighed deeply and fell into deep thought once again.
"Luo Feng's current obsession is perseverance and becoming stronger, but what is my obsession?"
For a moment, Zhou Ze was somewhat bewildered.
"It's less of an obsession and more of a Daoist conviction! What is the ultimate purpose of my cultivation?"
Zhou Ze fell into deep thought.
"Success?" Puti stared in astonishment at Luo Feng, who was lying there and had stopped trembling. He could feel that Luo Feng's obsession was no longer able to be resisted and that he was about to be finished. He estimated that Luo Feng could only hold on for another two or three years at most.
But just now, that crystal bead completely merged with Luo Feng's soul.
"It's a success."
Luo Feng opened his eyes. A surge of world power instantly shook away the blood and other debris from his body. His exhausted eyes were filled with joy: "I succeeded! I succeeded—"
When you feel joyful or relaxed.
An overwhelming fatigue, originating from his very soul, surged up and engulfed Luo Feng's consciousness.
With a crisp thud, Luo Feng, who had been sitting cross-legged the whole time, even when facing life and death, suddenly collapsed to the ground, lying motionless and completely asleep.
"Asleep?"
"Heh heh, he actually fell asleep?" Puti couldn't help but chuckle at the sight. "It's extremely rare for a Realm Lord to be so exhausted that he falls asleep and loses consciousness."
Immortal gods may fall into a deep sleep due to the loss of too much of their divine body and the depletion of too much of their soul.
However, once the soul of a realm lord is shattered, he will perish. Unless someone like Luo Feng has squeezed out too much potential from his soul, pushing it to its limits time and time again, he will fall into a deep sleep immediately after success, because his soul is too tired and needs to absorb energy to recover.
However, it's already quite impressive for a strong person to be able to perfectly unleash their soul's potential, let alone push their soul beyond its limits countless times over the past few thousand years. Therefore, it's extremely rare for a realm lord to be so exhausted that they lose consciousness.
The Lord of the Realm was so exhausted that he lost consciousness and slept for a very long time. However, because his soul was intact, it did not require an infinitely long period of time like the slumber of a god.
Luo Feng slept for more than nine years!
Luo Feng slept very soundly, and he hadn't dreamed in a very long time. There was a slight smile on his lips, as if he had dreamed of something very happy.
Suddenly, Luo Feng slowly opened his eyes.
"Child—" A heartwarming voice, just like the voice from the black metal plate, made Luo Feng stand up immediately and turn around to look.
There were two figures ahead.
One of them was the familiar Lord of the Universe, "Puti." At this moment, Puti had restrained his aura and was sitting quietly to one side. At the very front of the center of the hall stood a towering figure over 900 meters tall. He wore seemingly ordinary blue armor and had transparent horns on his forehead. He was looking down at Luo Feng.
An endless aura enveloped the entire hall. Under this boundless aura, Luo Feng felt as comfortable as an ordinary human being under the sun, without any sense of oppression.
"The fundamental laws of the universe... I can no longer sense the fundamental laws of the universe." Luo Feng was suddenly shocked.
"How is that possible?"
"How could I not sense the laws?"
The cultivation of the strong involves sensing the fundamental laws of the universe. The clearer the sensing, the faster the cultivation. However, neither the Earthling's main body nor the Demon Killer Clan's clone in the inner world can sense the operation of the fundamental laws of the universe.
"Is this the power of the strongest being in the universe? Even the fundamental laws of the universe cannot suppress it? No wonder it could create such a terrifying secret technique as the 'Nine Tribulations Secret Scripture,' which violates the laws governing the universe—"
Because of Babata's high level of authority, Luo Feng knew some information about the power of the strongest beings in the universe. Of course, Babata only revealed information that wouldn't affect Luo Feng's mind.
"Congratulations! From this moment on, you are the leader of the Earth lineage!" The voice of the Mountain-Sitting Guest boomed, penetrating deep into Luo Feng's heart.
"Third junior brother, congratulations."
Beside him, the Lord of the Universe, "Puti," also smiled as he watched Luo Feng, happy for him as well. For thousands of years, he had been watching over Luo Feng, and he sincerely admired Luo Feng's perseverance and persistence, and had a very good impression of him.
"The Earthlings and the Flame Gods are both my children."
The Mountain-Sitting Guest looked down at Luo Feng and said in a booming voice, "You have undergone many secret trials and passed the Star Tower inheritance test. You are my disciple, and probably my last disciple."
Just as the Mountain Guest was talking to Luo Feng, in Chaos City, Zhou Ze sat cross-legged on the rooftop of a small building, where he had been meditating for over ten years!
Ever since Luo Feng successfully accepted the Star Tower's recognition as his master, he has been pondering Luo Feng's so-called "obsession."
This "obsession" must belong to a characteristic of the spiritual level, but it does not belong to the three realms of cultivating the mind. If we have to say, it is related to the first level of enlightenment, but it is not enlightenment.
Some ancient texts and myths on Earth mention that the most powerful force in the human heart is obsession, which can lead to reincarnation, life after life, never to be extinguished.
Many elderly people on the verge of death, driven by a stubborn belief, cling to life for a long time.
There are also those like Luo Feng, who walk on the edge of life and death, maintaining a sliver of life even when their souls are almost completely destroyed, so that they don't perish completely.
Although Luo Feng's obsession gave Zhou Ze a lot of inspiration, Zhou Ze preferred to call this obsession "Dao Heart".
The so-called Dao heart is the heart that yearns for the Dao. Simply put, it is the purpose of cultivation and the purpose of becoming stronger. External pressure is never one's true "Dao heart," but merely a result of environmental constraints.
True Taoist heart must originate from the depths of one's heart.
For the past ten years, Zhou Ze has been pondering the meaning of his Dao heart.
Is cultivation for becoming stronger? Is cultivation for enjoying more? Is cultivation to reduce the chance of being attacked by unknown area-of-effect attacks?
Zhou Ze felt that none of these were the answers he truly wanted.
"Obsession — The Heart of the Dao —"
"What is my obsession—my Daoist heart?"
As Zhou Ze recalled the past, he felt somewhat lost and even unreal, as if it were all a dream.
