A life of clearness

Chapter 368: Unlimited Heart
"Good boy, you are really capable." Number One in the World exclaimed. He also didn't realize that Zhizheng was like a master of all arts, with excellent talents in various fields.

It's really because Chi Zheng is too low-key and has no fame at all.

"Why have I never heard of this?" Rong Qing asked puzzledly.

Logically speaking, shouldn't such a big event, especially one that greatly enhanced the reputation of Juntian Dao Sect, spread quickly? How come Xin Chou had never heard of any news in his ten thousand years of work in Juntian Tower?
It is understandable that other geniuses would not want to spread the news due to face, but it is strange that there is no news about Juntian Tower at all.

"Because..." Dong Yan's face looked a little strange. "The Juntian Taoist master asked everyone present to keep silent and not to spread the matter. He also asked everyone in the Juntian Taoist sect who knew about it not to talk about it. Even if others came to inquire, they had to deny it. Over time, this matter was forgotten without a trace. After all, a genius who knows everything sounds too bizarre, and Chizheng never made a name for himself later."

Rong Qing fell silent. This was actually what Taoist Master Juntian meant.

In this way, no one can say anything.

"The only evidence for this matter," Dong Yan looked at Rong Qing, "is the authority in the Phoenix Talisman in your hand."

Rong Qing thought of a key question: "In other words, after this incident, Senior Brother stayed in Juntian Dao Sect and never went out?"

“That’s right.” Dong Yan was not sure either: “If Master Juntian still had this attitude, even if Zhizheng went outside, no matter what he did, nothing would be reported. Anyway, no one heard about Zhizheng after that, including the subsequent Sequence War, where there was no trace of him at all.”

At that time, Dong Yan saw that Zhizheng did not come to participate in the serial battle, and he felt fortunate but also regretful.

Fortunately, there is one less strong competitor.

Unfortunately, the ranking of Qinghang Realm in this sequence battle will probably not be much different from the past.

Sure enough, he only barely made it into the top 100,000 in the end and had to end his serial battle journey early.

The top ten thousand geniuses still have a chance to be noticed by the Zun Realm, but the top one hundred thousand... in the eyes of the Zun Realm, there is no need to absorb them.

"It seems that your senior brother's background is very unusual..." Number One Under Heaven said solemnly, "The attitude of Juntian Dao Sect towards him is too weird. On the one hand, they train him, but on the other hand, they suppress him. How can he make great progress when he is always confined in Qinghang Realm or even in this small Dao Sect?!"

Number One Under Heaven couldn't help but feel sorry for Zhizheng when he said this: "Otherwise, with his original talent, why would he still be stuck at the peak of the Void Realm like Dong Yan?"

“If there is a chance…” Rong Qing sighed and said to Number One Under Heaven, “I will ask Senior Brother in person.”

Since I have received benefits from the senior brother, it would be too cruel to act as if it has nothing to do with me.

Of course, Rong Qing didn't plan to ask rashly. After all, it had been tens of thousands of years since the incident happened, and it was too late to catch up. So Rong Qing planned to ask Zhizheng's opinion when the time was right.

"I already understand the first thing. As for the second thing..." Rong Qing looked at Dong Yan: "It's about the prohibition. I heard from Tao Jiu that the heart-shaped prohibition on display was the work of the leader?"

"Heart-word ban?" Dong Yan snapped his fingers, and a blue butterfly flew out from between his fingers, fluttering its wings and finally landing on his fingertips.

"But this one?"

Rong Qing nodded. Her feeling was not wrong, this butterfly was exactly the same as the one in the crystal bottle. But... it should not be the original one. Dong Yan's snap of his fingers looked like a magic trick, but in fact, he had dissipated the butterfly in the crystal bottle, and then re-performed the Heart Ban for Rong Qing to see.

"I am quite interested in the Heart-shaped Forbidden Art, so I would like to ask the leader: How can this Heart-shaped Forbidden Art change? Even if it is constructed from the same model, will it still be the same when it is recreated after it dissipates?"

Dong Yan listened carefully to Rong Qing's question and said slowly, "It seems that the mother world you came from has not done much research on prohibitions."

"That's true, especially when it comes to mental prohibition." Rong Qing did not deny this.

In the Baishi Mother Realm, those who can reach the level of a master of prohibition are considered to be people at the level of a master of prohibition, while in the Spirit Realm, only those who have mastered the prohibition of the heart are considered to have entered the realm of mastery.

"The heart ban is also a ban. Since it is a ban, of course there are many changes. The strength of the ban changes with your cultivation, but this is only the most superficial. And to transform and develop the heart ban is what we who practice the art of ban must do. Take the heart ban as an example, you can train it as a cultivator, your personal disciple. If you want it to learn illusion, then teach it illusion. If you want it to learn martial arts, then teach it martial arts."

"When your mind has no limits, it will be free."

Dong Yan's words seemed to open another door for Rong Qing.

Rong Qing thought: When I was in the White Stone Realm, I kept thinking about how to comprehend new heart restrictions. In fact, I haven’t even been able to comprehend the many changes in the heart restrictions I have mastered...

"So, this heart-shaped forbidden flower of the leader has the ability to create illusions, so it is combined with a forbidden model that can create illusions?"

"You can say that." Dong Yan suddenly showed a meaningful smile: "Do you want me to show you the internal structure?"

"You can say that." Rong Qing repeated Dong Yan's words with a smile.

"If it was any other restriction I created, I wouldn't give it to you for free. I would have asked you to bring out your own restriction in exchange. But as for this Heart-shaped restriction... I can show it to you for free."

Oh? Rong Qing raised her eyebrows. Could it be...?
"Guessed it?" Dong Yan narrowed his eyes. "This heart-shaped forbidden book was created because of your senior brother. I, the Dong Yan Association, also participated in the debate that year. As the leader of the association, I even debated with Zhi Zheng three times in a row."

"The topic of our debate is the Heart Ban, and coincidentally... the question you asked today is the same one that Zhizheng asked me that day."

Dong Yan, who was about the same age as Chi Zheng at the time, had a stern face and simulated the answer countless times in his mind.

Dong Yan's answer was not much different from the one he gave Rong Qing today. He said, "The Heart Ban can be used as a cultivator's soldier. A cultivator should act as a commander, combining it with various bans to create soldiers with different uses, so that they can deal with all kinds of enemies."

"That makes sense." Chizheng nodded.

However, Dong Yan's heart trembled, because he had heard too many times that Chi Zheng first affirmed and then denied the other party. If Chi Zheng did not respond immediately, it meant that he was stumped.

Sure enough, Zhi Zhengfan asked, "A cultivator can only have one Heart-Character Forbidden Flower at a time. Even if you have prepared 10,000 Heart-Character Forbidden Flowers, you can only use one of them. The battle situation is ever-changing. What should you do?"

Dong Yan was thinking intensely in his mind, watching Zhizheng walk to the next desk. The Tianjiao there straightened his back and waited for Zhizheng's questions with great vigilance...
