Chapter 943: Spotless Dao Heart

The two of them walked for another few hundred meters.

Bai Xingge’s teeth chattered, and its breathing was short and shallow as sweat poured down its face.

It turned to look at the man beside it to find that he was still walking along placidly without any signs of pain or exhaustion.

This… This was clearly not a facade!!!

An Lin detected Bai Xingge’s gaze and turned toward it with a faint smile. “Aiyah, this is so arduous, and I’m so tired! This Heart Examining Lake is terrifying!”

“Pfff…” Bai Xingge felt as if there were ten thousand mythological beasts stampeding over its heart, and its legs almost gave out from under it.

“How could this be? How could you be completely fine…”

Bai Xingge was in despair. This human was definitely a monster.

It knew that it was about to collapse, while An Lin still appeared completely carefree.

It also knew that this was not a feigned act as he was relaxed from the inside to the outside.

“Could it be…” Bai Xingge’s pupils contracted, and its voice trembled as it stared at An Lin in shock and said, “You dao heart has already reached the spotless realm?!”

An Lin turned to look at the vermilion bird with a mysterious and profound expression, but he was internally quite pleased with it.

He was just wondering why he wasn’t affected by the Heart Examining Lake when this thoughtful little vermilion bird provided him with an explanation! Great!

“The Heart Examining Lake contains extremely rich yin-type power and can reflect one’s dao heart. If there are impurities in one’s dao heart, the water of the lake will strike those impurities. Those impurities will be like rock formations jutting out of the lake, and they will continue to slowly ground one down until one can no longer take it.

“Only the legendary spotless dao heart realm can allow one to be so carefree on the Heart Examining Lake and walk on it without encountering any impediment. There’s no mistaking it, this is definitely a spotless dao heart realm! Lin An, you sure had me fooled!”

Bai Xingge drew a sharp intake of breath as it turned toward An Lin. Even though it was unwilling to reconcile with defeat, it also admired this powerful adversary.

“To be able to lose to someone with a spotless dao heart, I have no regrets in this Heart Examining Lake trial. Perhaps the Vermilion Bird Princess’ loss to you was also meant to be…”

It looked at An Lin, and the fiery fighting spirit did not wane. Instead, it burned even more brightly. “But Lin An, I won’t give up easily! I will continue onward and the trial has not…”

Boom!

“Pwah…”

Bai Xingge didn’t even get a chance to finish its sentence before it fell into the water, triggering a massive splash.

“Ahhh…”

Bai Xingge yelled as its body was swept away by the terrifying lakewater before finally disappearing into the white fog.

An Lin: “…”

“Well, in any case, thanks for providing such a thorough explanation to me before your fall,” An Lin offered genuine words of gratitude in Bai Xingge’s direction.

However, the explanation for the spotless dao heart was a little peculiar.

He had never known what dao he was pursuing, so he naturally didn’t know whether his dao heart was firm or not. To him, his dao heart was like a blank piece of paper obscured somewhere in the murkiness.

Could it be that an oblivious idiot’s dao heart could also be described as spotless?

An Lin felt like this was quite interesting, and he was in a pretty good mood as he continued onward.

Spotless dao heart realm…

That sounded like a pretty bad*ss realm, and he was obviously quite happy to have attained it.

At this moment, on the shore of the Heart Examining Lake…

Hei Tengge heard the sound of splashing coming closer from afar.

He began to focus his attention. It looked like there had been a decisive result!

Sure enough, Bai Xingge’s figure began to appear in his field of vision, and its body was swept toward the shore by the yin-type lakewater.

Boom!

Bai Xingge’s body was slapped mercilessly onto the shore by the lake water. It was in an extremely disheveled state.

“Senior Bai Xingge, you… you lost?” Hei Tengge asked in disbelief.

Generally speaking, the more advanced a creature’s cultivation base was, the more stable their dao heart would be.

As such, this was quite a surprising result for Hei Tengge.

Bai Xingge wiggled its body to rid its feathers of the water it had retained before raising its proud head in a graceful manner, as if it had forgotten how disheveled it had looked just a moment ago. “That’s right, I lost. I didn’t think that Lin An would have a spotless dao heart. This was my miscalculation.”

“Spotless dao heart?!” Hei Tengge jumped up and exclaimed in shock. “It is said in legends that people with dao hearts like this are connected directly to the Great Dao of heaven and earth and can see the truth amid chaos. They can make breakthroughs extremely easily and are the most supremely talented of all supremely talented prodigies! And Lin An is one of them?!”

Defeating the Vermilion Bird Princess and receiving the approvals of the five mythological beasts were already enough to strike admiration into Hei Tengge’s heart.

Now that it had been revealed that An Lin had a spotless dao heart, Hei Tengge didn’t even know how to face this legendary man anymore.

After pausing for a few moments, Hei Tengge finally recovered from his shock, and he peered into the white fog curiously. “Lin An has already won, so why isn’t he back yet?”

“The contest has already been decided, and he should be making his way back as we speak. Let’s wait for a while longer,” Bai Xingge replied lightly.

Thus, Bai Xingge and Hei Tengge both turned their eyes upon the white fog.

Fifteen minutes passed.

Their surroundings became eerily quiet.

“Er, Senior Bai Xingge… Does it take this long to get back here?” Hei Tengge couldn’t help but break the silence.

Bai Xingge: “…”

“Perhaps… he encountered some special circumstances?” Bai Xingge suggested with difficulty.

“Like what? Could he have drowned at the bottom of the lake?” Hei Tengge’s lips twitched.

Bai Xingge: “…”

“Senior, I have a bad feeling that Lin An is not coming back… Could he be still walking onward…”

He didn’t even get a chance to finish his sentence before Hei Tengge and Bai Xingge both drew sharp intakes of breath as chills ran down their spines.

“Senior, why didn’t you tell Lin An that there is a restricted area up ahead?!” Hei Tengge trembled.

“I… I didn’t think he would beat me! After all, what kind of normal living being would have what it takes to walk across to the other side?!” Even though Bai Xingge was a Return to Void Stage mighty figure, it could not help but tremble uncontrollably.

“Don’t worry! We must be thinking too much! Lin An is already on the way back!” Bai Xingge offered words of consolation.

“Hmm, he must have encountered something. For example, he could’ve attained some enlightenment on the surface of the lake, which is why there has been a delay. Mr. Lin An is definitely on the way back!” Hei Tengge also offered words of consolation.

Bai Xingge: “Let’s keep waiting.”

Hei Tengge: “Yes, that’s a good idea!”

The two Vermilion Bird Tribe powerful beings peered anxiously into the white mist as they awaited An Lin’s return.

Meanwhile, An Lin was still continuing onward on the surface of the Heart Examining Lake without any pause or difficulty. He wanted to see just what lay at the end of the Heart Examining Lake!

After walking for what felt like an eternity…

The sound of someone singing began to become audible amid the white fog.

He couldn’t understand what was being sung, as it sounded like a peculiar language, but it didn’t change the fact that the song was quite mesmerizing.

The rhythm was extremely beautiful, and the voice was very pleasant. It evoked images of surging seas of clouds, majestic river tides, scenic mountains, and beautiful flora and fauna dancing in the light.

The world that was being sung about had to be quite a beautiful world.

An Lin made it out of the Heart Examining Lake on the other side and saw a figure through the white fog.
