Awakening from the Devouring Starry Sky

Chapter 848 Heart Palace

After imparting Di Ke's time and space inheritance and granting him a life-saving talisman, Lord Mangya said, "Your realm is not bad now. It is a natural thing for you to break through and become a Taoist master of life and death. There is no need for you to stay on Xingchen Island any longer. Next, which of the twelve palaces are you going to choose?"

"Originally I wanted to choose the Palace of Time and Space, but now I have decided to choose the Palace of Mind and Strength," Di Ke said thoughtfully, and his choice also surprised Lord Mangya. He then frowned and said, "You want to focus on the path of mind and strength? Di Ke, you have a good understanding and obviously have great potential in the path of time and space. Your future achievements in the path of time and space are limitless. Even if you are also good at the path of mind and strength, it is more difficult to go far in the path of mind and strength, so you can just practice it as a minor. When it comes to cultivation, you must not be greedy..."

"I discovered that in addition to the path of time and space, you have deep insights into some other paths such as mind power, fire, destruction, thunder and lightning, and light. Such distraction will affect the speed of your comprehension of the path of time and space, and even make it difficult for you to go further in the path of time and space," Lord Mangya persuaded.

Di Ke smiled and said, "Master, maybe what you said makes sense, but my cultivation has always been like this. I was not the best at the time and space path at the beginning, but I made choices and focused on them during the process of cultivation, and finally chose to focus on the time and space path. I am used to practicing various paths at the same time, because these paths have something in common with each other, which allows me to draw inferences from one instance to another. Moreover, I think the time and space path is the most special path, and the most inclusive. In space, there are a lot of energy substances, and the time and space path naturally contains many paths."

Listening to Dicko's description of his understanding of enlightenment, Lord Mangya frowned and pondered for a long time before nodding slightly and saying, "I finally understand why you can combine those Daos and the Dao of Time and Space so perfectly. Your way of enlightenment cannot be said to be wrong. Perhaps this is just right for you. Since you think this will help you to attain enlightenment, then continue to persevere."

"However, you still have to focus your main energy on the path of time and space, and don't be distracted too much," Lord Mangya said, and then said, "In this case, if you insist on going to the Heart Palace, that's fine. As my only direct disciple now, I grant you the qualifications to comprehend and learn some of the inheritances, secrets, and magical powers in the twelve palaces. But in order to prevent you from dabbling in too much, you still need to pay a price to learn those inheritances, secrets, and magical powers."

"Thank you, Master!" Seeing that Lord Mangya was so fond of him, Dicko's eyes lit up and he said quickly with some surprise.

Di Ke did not leave directly with the Lord of Mangya, but said goodbye to Betale and other world-level masters he met on Xingchen Island, and gave his heart power inheritance and time and space inheritance to Ji Ning. Then he quietly left the Xingchen Tower and embarked on a journey to explore Mangya alone and rush to the Heart Power Palace.
And this so-called adventure was naturally not dangerous. After worshipping the Lord of Mangya as his master, Di Ke naturally became a member of Mangya Country and received the jade talisman representing his official membership of Mangya Country.

In Mangya country, members of Mangya country cannot kill each other because of the constraints of the life oath. Moreover, with Di Ke's current strength, he is enough to crush the first-step Dao Lord and rival the second-step Dao Lord in a head-on fight. With his understanding of time and space, it is not difficult for him to fight with the third-step Dao Lord, or even escape from the weaker fourth-step Dao Lord.

Therefore, after having a good experience in the relatively peaceful Mangya Kingdom, Di Ke sped up his speed and arrived at the Twelve Palaces of Mangya Kingdom in about a few decades.
From afar, Di Ke, who appeared through the void, saw twelve huge palaces floating in the sky in the distance, and in the center was a black hole with endless golden light emitting from its edges. It seemed that the twelve palaces of Mangya were close together, but with Di Ke's attainments in time and space, he could feel that the space there was layered, but in fact it was trillions of miles away.

Moreover, the Lord of Mangya used his incredible ability to manipulate time and space to gather the twelve zodiac signs together, seemingly close but actually far away, forming the most advanced formation in the Mangya Kingdom. Even the Eternal Emperor would find it difficult to break in easily.

The Heart Palace is the palace with the fewest people among the twelve palaces. There are less than ten Daojuns, and there are also only a handful of heart practitioners in the world realm. However, each of them is a top existence at the same level. Therefore, the Heart Palace with the fewest people is definitely the most feared palace among the twelve palaces of Mangya Country in the Endless Territory.

"Is this the Palace of Heart and Strength? It is worthy of being the palace with the least number of people among the twelve palaces." Under the dark sky, the Palace of Heart and Strength was silent as if it were a huge floating island, like a deserted and uninhabited continent. There were very few buildings on it, and it faintly exuded a mysterious atmosphere.

There was no one patrolling or guarding the outskirts of the Heart Palace. Dicko flew curiously towards some vaguely visible buildings in the distance and soon saw the main gate of the Heart Palace at the end of an inconspicuous road paved with black jade on the ground below. On the huge main gate, there were three faintly visible large characters "Heart Palace" emitting an invisible and mysterious aura. The invisible and mysterious fluctuations of the heart power aura seemed very plain and inconspicuous, but it seemed to be integrated with the entire Heart Palace. Those who were not firm in their Taoism would probably get lost soon, and even those who were firm in their Taoism would be tempted to have their demons and emotional fluctuations.

What made Di Ke feel flattered was that there were more than ten figures silently waiting for him at the main entrance of the Xinli Palace. Leading the group was the deputy palace master of the Xinli Palace, who was shrouded in a black robe and looked a little illusory and blurry.

Dicko was somewhat flattered, and could not help but speed up and fly forward to salute: "Thank you all for coming here to welcome me..."

"Dico, we have the fewest people in the Heart Palace among the twelve palaces, so we are like family. No need to be so polite." Before Dick could finish, seeing that he looked a little nervous and reserved, a middle-aged man with gray hair next to the deputy palace master of the Heart Palace, who was covered in a black robe, smiled gently and said, "Come, let me introduce you. This is Demon Shadow Daojun, one of the deputy palace masters of our Heart Palace."

"Palace Master Mo Ying!" Di Ke hurriedly bowed to the black-robed Taoist Master Fu Yi once again, and the Taoist Master Mo Ying, who had a somewhat old voice, smiled and said, "You can just call me Senior Brother, or just call me Big Brother Mo Ying. Almost everyone in our Heart Power Palace calls each other brothers."

"Let me introduce you, you also know Taoist Mo Chen," Taoist Mo Ying said, pointing at the middle-aged man with gray hair.

Di Ke also nodded. Although this gray-haired, middle-aged Taoist Mo Chen was only a third-step Taoist, he was also quite famous in the Endless Territory. As a Taoist who practiced mental strength, even some fourth-step Taoists were quite afraid of him.

Now, only he and Moying Daojun often stay in the Heart Palace. As for the other Daojuns in the Heart Palace, they are basically out there to explore and hone their skills. Especially the mysterious Palace Master, as a Daojun of the fourth step of the Heart Flow who is on the verge of the Dao Integration, he has to work hard to fight for the possibility of success in the Dao Integration.

However, it is even more difficult for the Heart Power Sect to successfully merge with the Dao. In the history of the Heart Power Palace, there has never been a Heart Power Sect Master who finally merged with the Dao and became the Eternal Emperor. Even in the entire Endless Territory, there has never been a Heart Power Sect Master who successfully merged with the Dao.

In addition to the two Taoist Lords of the Heart Power Stream, Taoist Lord Moying and Taoist Lord Mochen, among the disciples of the World Realm Heart Power Palace who came with them to welcome Di Ke, only the most outstanding Taoist Lord Feng Yixin caught Di Ke's attention.

In the twelve palaces of Mangya Kingdom, each palace has a forest of ancient pagodas. As long as the members of the twelve palaces have reached the level of Daojun, they can leave an ancient pagoda containing the Dao they have realized in the ancient pagoda forest. In each palace, there are very few people in the world realm who can be recognized by the ancient pagoda, and Feng Yixinjun is the only one in the world realm of Xinli Palace who is recognized by the ancient pagoda.
