Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 271: The Turmoil Caused by Heavenly Heart in the Outside World (3)

The Cloud Firmament Sect's discussion about the effects of Heavenly Heart was in full swing.

Outside, many people were also concerned about the situation of Heavenly Heart.

Among them, the Independent Cultivators had nothing much to say except for envy and jealousy.

Because of their excessive envy, many Independent Cultivators were seeking ways to join the Cloud Firmament Sect.

The Cloud Firmament Sect was happy to see this happen.

Most Independent Cultivators indeed didn't have much talent, but with such a large number of Independent Cultivators, there were bound to be some geniuses among them.

Moreover, many Independent Cultivators had already cultivated to the Foundation Building and Gold Core stages through their hard work.

Their joining was considered a major addition of talents to the Cloud Firmament Sect.

Of course, joining the Cloud Firmament Sect was not without any constraints. Apart from signing a contract, they couldn't become the core or high-ranking members of the Cloud Firmament Sect within a certain period of time.

However, even so, there were still many Independent Cultivator prodigies who flocked to the Cloud Firmament Sect for Heavenly Heart.

...

Outside of the Independent Cultivators, the demonic cultivators were also discussing fervently.

They were the most anxious about Zhong Cang's decision to teach secret techniques.

After all, the demonic cultivators were in a semi-war state with the Cloud Firmament Sect.

If Zhong Cang's teaching was successful and the disciples of the Cloud Firmament Sect greatly improved in strength, the situation for these demonic cultivators would become even more difficult.

It could even be said that from then on, the lives of the demonic cultivators would be constantly in danger.

Life in this world is a matter of life and death.

Death is the annihilation of everything, the end of everything. No one wants to die. In the face of the crisis of death, their attention to the Cloud Firmament Sect is the most intense and urgent.

And such anxious and uneasy emotions made the demonic cultivators extremely reluctant to fight.

Previously, they would run away at the sight of disciples from the Cloud Firmament Sect. But now, even before the disciples of the Cloud Firmament Sect approached, they would run away upon hearing the news that they were coming.

This was not what the elders of the demonic sect wanted to see.

As a result, news soon spread that the Heavenly Heart secret technique was fake and that Zhong Cang could not possibly create such a technique at his age.

The disciples of the demonic sect did not believe this statement at all.

There is a saying that goes, the one who understands you the most is often not your friend, but your enemy.

As the mortal enemy who had fought against Zhong Cang countless times, although most demonic cultivators who encountered Zhong Cang would be killed without mercy, there were always some lucky ones who managed to escape.

In addition, Zhong Cang, who had returned to the sect, had become the core of the sect. He no longer needed to handle everything cleanly in battle as he did before.

Once they arrive at a certain place, all they need to do is to break through the core defense of the Demon Sect and disperse their formation. The disciples of the Cloud Firmament Sect will take care of the rest.

However, the strength of the Cloud Firmament Sect disciples is ultimately inferior to Zhong Cang. Every time they handle the situation, they will miss some people.

Of course, in the battle between sects, it doesn't make much difference if a few more Qi Refining or Foundation Building disciples survive and a few less Qi Refining or Foundation Building disciples survive.

But this situation has resulted in many Demon Sect disciples surviving after their battles with Zhong Cang.

These people have personally experienced Zhong Cang's power and have felt the fear of having their own spells stripped away by Heavenly Heart's control.

As a result, while others have doubts about the authenticity of Heavenly Heart, the Demon Sect members believe it one hundred percent, that everything is true.

Naturally, this situation has made them extremely fearful.

... By the way, those Demon Sect cultivators who survived their battles with Zhong Cang are mostly terrified. They dare not face Zhong Cang and therefore dare not provoke the disciples of the Cloud Firmament Sect.

Under their accounts, even those Demon Sect disciples who have not encountered Zhong Cang are also afraid of him.

The fact that Demon Sect cultivators are so averse to fighting and so fearful has contributed to this.

...

The excessive fear has made the situation in the mortal realm increasingly unfavorable for the Demon Sect.

However, the Demon Sect still has capable individuals. After the strategy of propagating the falsehood of Heavenly Heart's power failed and their disciples believed in its strength, some high-ranking members of the Demon Sect, after careful deliberation, chose to praise Zhong Cang.

Praising the enemy, especially the most powerful prodigy, may seem foolish.

But the Demon Sect is not foolish, and their approach has proven to be very effective.

"Don't be afraid that the disciples of the Cloud Firmament Sect will learn Heavenly Heart. Zhong Cang is indeed powerful, and he has the ability to create such a powerful secret technique. However, in the three thousand years of the Cloud Firmament Sect's existence, only Zhong Cang has possessed such exceptional talent. Learning Heavenly Heart is as simple as eating and drinking for someone with such outstanding comprehension. Other people, even if Heavenly Heart is placed in front of them, they won't be able to learn it!"

This kind of praise has undoubtedly been very effective.

The Demon Sect disciples fear Zhong Cang but do not fear the other disciples of the Cloud Firmament Sect. In fact, they even look down on them. In this situation, the fear and unease of the Demon Sect members naturally subsided a little.

"Phew... I was overthinking it. Not everyone is Zhong Cang."

"I admit that Heavenly Heart is powerful and can truly strip away the enemy's spells. Zhong Cang, who created Heavenly Heart, is truly an extraordinary talent. But what are your ordinary disciples of the Cloud Firmament Sect? Even if Heavenly Heart is placed in front of you, can you understand it? Can you learn it?"

"I even think that Zhong Cang teaching Heavenly Heart is a good thing. For those with mediocre comprehension, forcibly learning Heavenly Heart would only be a waste of time... It could delay them for decades!"

...

From fear and despair to joy and mockery towards the ordinary disciples of the Cloud Firmament Sect, the Demon Sect disciples only took a few days.

It can only be said that the high-level cultivators of the Demon Sect are indeed capable.

And as time passes, information about Heavenly Heart has spread not only among independent cultivators and the Demon Sect but also beyond the North Abyss Region.

Even the information about Heavenly Heart is no longer limited to the North Abyss Region.

...

In the Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain, the Long Family, who possess dragon blood, have a close relationship with the Dragon Race and reside in a lake.

At this moment, Long Su, the legitimate son of the Long family, is cultivating.

The so-called Long Su is the first challenger of Zhong Cang's Yunmeng Tianjiao. He can transform into a dragon and summon wind, rain, and thunder. However, these wind, rain, and thunder were taken away by Zhong Cang himself.

To be honest, such an easy defeat had a great impact on Long Su at that time.

Firstly, it affected his mentality. He fell into a state of despair and even questioned the meaning of life.

"Is it possible that I am worthless if the spells I released with my own hands were taken away by others?"

Secondly, his family was also dissatisfied with him. As the legitimate son of a large family, the Long family had positioned him to inherit the true teachings of a major sect.

Long Su's easy defeat made many elders of the family believe that he had not shouldered the responsibilities given to him by the family and was not deserving of so many resources.

That period of time could be considered the lowest point in Long Su's life.

But in the end, he managed to overcome it.

What Long Su didn't know what to say about was that his ability to overcome it had nothing to do with his own efforts.

As Zhong Cang embarked on the path of invincibility, defeating one Tianjiao after another with overwhelming strength, the elders of the Long family suddenly realized that Long Su's easy defeat by Zhong Cang was not much of a shame.

After all, there were too many Tianjiao who had been defeated by Zhong Cang, whether they were the direct disciples of major sects or Tianjiao among the Independent Cultivators. No one could withstand a single strike from Zhong Cang.

In this situation, it was quite normal for Long Su to be defeated in one move.

"Cough, everyone, I think it's not surprising that Su'er failed... Zhong Cang is just too strong."

"I think so too. In fact, there's not much difference between Su'er and the Tianjiao of the major sects... They were all defeated in one move."

In this way, before Long Su could pick himself up, he, who had been abandoned by his family, became the legitimate son again.

And as Zhong Cang defeated more and more people, becoming stronger and stronger, Long Su's mentality also changed.

He didn't think that losing to Zhong Cang was a disgrace.

Not feeling insulted, he naturally wouldn't fall into despair.

But after experiencing this battle, he had developed some awe towards Zhong Cang in his heart.

And after the news spread that Zhong Cang had made the Dragon Race unable to gather a single drop of water in the battle at the Dragon Palace, Long Su's admiration for Zhong Cang surpassed his fear, and he became one of Zhong Cang's devoted fans.

"Even the Dragon Race couldn't surpass Zhong Cang in calling the wind and summoning the rain. As someone with dragon blood, I naturally can't either... Sigh, I really want to learn Master Zhong Cang's spells and cultivate with him!"

The admiration in his heart made Long Su have the idea of following Zhong Cang in his cultivation. He paid close attention to any information about Zhong Cang.

However, this act of attention was only subconscious.

Long Su didn't think that he had the possibility to follow Zhong Cang across realms, nor did he believe that he could learn Zhong Cang's secret techniques.

Therefore, he buried this matter deep in his heart.

However, just when he thought everything was hopeless and Zhong Cang was just a passing figure in his life, something unexpected happened.

On this day, he was practicing cultivation when his younger sister hurriedly burst into his room.

This behavior caused Long Su to open his eyes and look at his own sister with some displeasure.

"Cai'er, what you're doing is very dangerous. If I'm in a critical moment of cultivation, you could make me lose control..."

"If you were in a critical moment of cultivation, you would have already activated the formation in the room."

After casually refuting him, Long Caier waved her hand.

"Never mind, let's not talk about these trivial matters. I've gathered some information related to Lord Zhong Cang. You've fought against Zhong Cang before, so take a look and see if this information is true!"

"...What information?"

The information about Zhong Cang did indeed disrupt his thoughts, and his attention shifted to this matter.

However, as the legitimate son of a prominent family, he knew it was not good to idolize Zhong Cang, so he didn't show it on his face.

But soon, the expression on his face became difficult to maintain.

"It's information about Zhong Cang's secret technique. It's being spread outside that Zhong Cang has a secret technique called Heavenly Heart, which has the power to dominate and forcefully control the enemy's spells..."

"Heavenly Heart·Domination!!!"

Before Long Caier could finish speaking about this secret technique, even before she could ask her question, Long Su couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and a complex emotion surged within him.

The reason for this was that as soon as the introduction of Heavenly Heart Domination was mentioned, he thought of the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning that he had summoned. The reason why they didn't listen to him and instead attacked him was definitely because of this ability.

How could Long Su's mood not be complex when he learned that he was defeated by such an ability?

And in the midst of his complex emotions, a desire emerged within his heart.

"Ah, it would be great if I could learn Heavenly Heart Domination."

His excessive longing caused him to unconsciously murmur.

Then, a sentence that shattered his state of mind sounded in his ears.

—After seeing the true ability of Heavenly Heart Domination from Long Su's face, Long Caier hurriedly wanted to leave and run towards the main courtyard of the Long family.

But when she was about to leave the room, she heard her elder brother's murmur, so as his younger sister, she reminded him.

"You have a chance to learn it. Lord Zhong Cang is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. He is prepared to teach Heavenly Heart within the Cloud Firmament Sect. It is said that as long as you are an inner disciple of the Cloud Firmament Sect, you have a chance to learn Heavenly Heart!"

"?!!"

These words immediately stunned Long Su.

After a while, a shocked and even horrified voice resounded from the courtyard of the Long family's legitimate son.

"Teach Heavenly Heart? Are you kidding me! Would he be willing to teach such a technique!!!"
