I'm in Hogwarts, what the hell is the Honghuang system?

Chapter 208: The heart of Tao is sublimated, I do not wish to be a saint, I want to surpass Pangu!
As Rhine released all his mental defenses, the Mirror of Erised was finally able to reflect the scene in Rhine's mind.

All I saw was a vast expanse of heaven and earth, with chaos floating outside the nine heavens and reincarnation running beneath the nine underworlds.

The stars are rolling and the waves are vast.

It’s the ancient times!

Rhine looked at the primitive continent in the mirror and fell into deep thought.

Ever since he got the system, the inner demon has been suppressed by various talents and it is difficult for it to emerge.

These gifts have endowed Rhine with an invulnerable state of mind and a clear mind at all times.

But this is not the heart of Tao.

The so-called Tao heart is more like a program for one's own cultivation of Tao, guiding the path of cultivation.

In short, the heart of Tao is - what is the purpose of practicing Taoism?
Some people practice Taoism in order to uphold justice and eliminate demons and monsters.

Some people practice Taoism simply to seek immortality.

Some people just want to live a happy life.

Rhine's eyes flickered as he muttered to himself.

"Then... why am I practicing Taoism?"

"Can the Mirror of Erised help me find the answers?"

As the thought flashed through his mind, the image in the Mirror of Erised began to change.

White clouds and blue dogs, the world has changed.

In the magic mirror, all kinds of worldly affairs emerged.

And Rhine was present in countless events.

The ancient people worked hard to open up the mountains and forests, and the Rhine is here.

The birth of the first tribe, the election of the first king, the Rhine is here.

From slavery to feudalism, the Rhine is there.

From the peak to the decline of feudalism to the birth of a new system, the Rhine has always been there.

No matter how the world changes, no matter how time passes, Rhine has always been sitting cross-legged in the place of time, watching the celebrities with a smile, and participating in the changes of dynasties at will.

He possesses infinite knowledge and infinite time, and he is the history of this ancient world.

Time is like a breeze to him, passing by without leaving any trace.

"Immortality?"

"Even the Golden Immortal will suffer from the Three Calamities and Five Tribulations, and will be haunted by calamity. They cannot be considered truly immortal."

"It would be wonderful if I could achieve immortality."

"But am I practicing Taoism just for immortality? That doesn't seem right."

After a moment, the scene in the mirror began to change again.

The Rhine in the mirror is versatile and can form alliances to annex the six countries in the mortal world, and can make clouds and rain with a wave of his hand among the immortals.

As long as he wanted, he could easily provoke a catastrophe as big as the Lich War or the Dragon and Han First Tribulation.

Any person or force that he does not want to exist will definitely disappear.

The people or forces he wants to support will definitely rise.

The entire wilderness was changed by his will.

"Ultimate power?"

Rhine shook his head.

"It's just so-so, I'm really not interested..."

Then, the scene in the mirror began to evolve continuously.

Rhine was also questioning his inner self little by little, wondering why this heart of Taoism came into being.

In the Yuanhai, the power of the Yuanhai rises and falls, as if a huge wave is brewing in it.

Unconsciously, Rhine entered a state similar to enlightenment.

Time is also passing by minute by minute.

Outside, Harry and Ron's faces gradually turned anxious from their initial anticipation.

"How long has it been?"

"It's been almost an hour, and Rhine has just been standing there motionless, without any reaction?"

They all had a bad idea in their minds.

Could it be that Rhine is like the legendary god who looked into the Mirror of Erised for decades and whose spirit was attracted to it and couldn't extricate himself?

How long will it take to recover?

It won’t take decades, right?!
Thinking of this, they hurriedly tried to drag Rhine away from the Mirror of Erised.

But before they could get close, they were pushed back by a gentle force.

No matter how hard Harry and Ron tried, they couldn't get close to Rhine.

Their voices seemed to be blocked by an invisible force and could not reach Rhine's ears.

The two were extremely anxious and didn't care about the points deducted for night outing. They hurried to find Dumbledore.

But they hadn't left yet, and Dumbledore, who had been observing in the dark, looked pale and his eyes were full of anxiety.

He had never imagined such a situation would occur. Harry and Ron were able to escape the Mirror of Erised's temptation, but Rhine was inexplicably trapped in it?
Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be.

Even those weak-willed wizards would have to look at the Mirror of Erised many times before they became completely addicted to it.

With Rhine's strength, how is that possible?
What on earth went wrong?
Dumbledore also thought of the legendary story of Aphrodite being obsessed with the Mirror of Erised for decades.

For Rhine, now is the critical moment for him to improve his magic.

No one can afford to waste decades, years or even months of time.

As soon as Dumbledore entered the room, a strong sense of oppression emanated from his body. He waved his wand repeatedly, trying to bring Rhine out from in front of the Mirror of Erised.

But amidst the sparks and lightning, there was calm around Rhine.

It was as if there was an invisible force protecting his body, which even Dumbledore's magic could not shake.

"Oops……"

Dumbledore's heart skipped a beat, and he felt an indescribable regret.

Here we go again, it's like this again.

His strong desire for control caused him to make a mistake that he could never undo.

Perhaps the position of Hogwarts headmaster is not where he should be, and he should completely sever ties with power.

He took a deep breath, his fingertips gripping the Elder Wand white with effort, his eyes sharp as a sword.

But no matter what, I will try to make up for this mistake today at all costs.

Terrifying magical power lingered at the tip of the staff.

Then, the cry of a phoenix was heard, and a silver phoenix guardian appeared, shedding golden-red flames and sweeping towards the Rhine.

It was Dumbledore's specialty magic—

"Vulcan clears the way!"

Harry and Ron's minds went blank, shocked by the power of this fireball.

They even had a worry.

Could it be that Dumbledore's magic is going to kill Rhine?
But the next second, the scene before them made them realize how much they had underestimated Rhine.

Suddenly, a brighter golden light emerged from the golden-red flames swept by the God of Fire, like a sacred and immortal golden body.

Rhine's palm lightly pierced through the flames, and then he snapped his fingers. In an instant, the path opened by the God of Fire was suppressed by a powerful force, and the flames in the sky were all restrained.

Rhine turned his head, looked at Dumbledore with a blank look, and spoke softly.

"Principal Dumbledore, don't worry. The Mirror of Erised can't do anything to me."

"I just want to see its limits and figure some things out at the same time."

Immediately, Rhine turned and looked at the Mirror of Erised.

Countless scenes emerged in the magic mirror.

Longevity, power, strength, wealth, beauty...

All of this flashed before my eyes.

Rhine whispered.

"These are all very good, and I like them all very much, but they are not the whole of my practice."

"Maybe today, I am crazy about immortality."

"Perhaps tomorrow, I will be intoxicated by magical powers."

"Or maybe the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, I'd like to get drunk and sing, with a beautiful woman in my arms."

"Or maybe after a hangover, I'll go into Zen meditation and abandon all of this."

"I've figured it out now. The reason I practice Taoism is simply to follow my heart."

But then he shook his head and sighed.

"It's easy to say 'follow your heart', but how difficult is it in reality?"

"In a place like the magical world, there are evil creatures like the Old Ones, and even Pangu in the midst of chaos. I'm afraid that when I open my eyes, everything will be gone."

"It's extremely difficult to follow one's heart here, let alone the saints and calamities in the prehistoric world..."

“How to follow your heart?”

The image on the Mirror of Erised seemed to be stuck and began to distort and become a misaligned image.

Rhine took a deep breath and then opened his eyes.

"If you want to follow your heart, you have to surpass yourself!"

"Surpassing the Ancestral Witch, surpassing the Heavenly Demon, surpassing the Quasi-Saint, surpassing the Saint, Hongjun, and even..."

"Surpass Pangu!"

Deep cracks appeared on the Mirror of Erised.

The next moment, click!

The Mirror of Erised shattered!
Rhine suddenly stood up with a sharp look in his eyes.

“Only by transcending everything can one achieve what one desires. This is my heart of Tao!”

A heart of Tao becomes clearer and firmer than ever before.

Immediately afterwards, a huge wave suddenly arose in the sea of ​​​​energy in Rhine's body!
