Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System Chapter 1026 - 458: Reopening a Dao for the Human Race, Setting Things Right

Furthermore, the quantity of these Heart and Spirits keeps on growing.

Su Tu sensed that these represented the Heart and Spirits of individual members of the Human Race, each possessing an exceptionally potent Heart and Spirit Realm.

Judging solely by the intensity of their Heart and Spirit, each of these surpassed Su Tu.

However, in specific aspects, Su Tu’s Heart and Spirit had already ascended to a different plane.

To put it simply, cultivation of the Heart and Spirit is like water, and the Heart and Spirit Realms of these individuals resemble streams; a river flows with vigor, ceaselessly and resolutely, with the most powerful stream even earning the name 'sea'.

The might of their Heart and Spirit is beyond comprehension, profoundly majestic.

If one were to tally only the volume of water, these Heart and Spirits vastly outnumbered Su Tu’s, yet Su Tu’s Heart and Spirit is neither a river nor a sea.

Instead, it is the untamed clouds that drift high in the heavens.

Though fundamentally they are the same entity, the disparity in their level and dimension is immense.

High above in the sky, clouds might span mere inches, yet they remain unreachable, unconfined; a state that even the Great Divine Power Users have never envisioned.

This difference in planes is critical.

Just as it is now, despite the immense strength of these Heart and Spirits, Su Tu could, if he willed it, transmute all of them into reservoirs of 'clouds'.

This specific thought briefly crossed Su Tu’s mind, but soon, an ancient voice resonated within his Heart and Spirit.

This voice emanated from the 'sea' within the streams, the most majestic among the Heart and Spirits.

"We know not who you may be, nor from whence you hail; we are seekers of the Dao, wayward wanderers, and those striving to mend what is flawed."

"We implore you... to broaden the path of the Heart and Spirit."

As this voice concluded, Su Tu’s Heart and Spirit seemed to harmonize, and in that instant, he perceived the dire straits faced by all Great Divine Power Users.

He also witnessed everything the Eastern Emperor had endured.

To shatter the protective barrier surrounding the Human Race’s Heart and Spirit, he launched three successive assaults on the Other Shore. Originally blessed with a Heart Life spanning ten thousand years, it had now been reduced to a fragile, flickering candle flame, susceptible to being extinguished by the slightest breeze.

"The way of the Heart and Spirit...."

Su Tu softly murmured. Previously, he had perceived no issues with Heart and Spirit cultivation, but now, having unified the concepts of divine origin, his Heart and Spirit had attained a new dimension.

At the very outset, he discovered that the Human Race’s Heart and Spirit did indeed contain inherent flaws.

The existence of the Sacred Realm is unique to the Heart and Spirit cultivation of the Human Race; while it ensures stability in their practice, it simultaneously imposes an invisible constraint upon the Human Race’s Heart and Spirit.

It serves as both protection and a shackle.

On this matter, Su Tu found himself in strong accord with the Eastern Emperor's viewpoint.

Su Tu’s ability to discover a completely different path at this juncture was not solely attributable to the unification of divine origin concepts, but also due to his separation of spirit from flesh, which prevented his Heart and Spirit from entering the Sacred Realm.

This approach, while forfeiting protection, also liberated him from constraints, thereby enabling him to achieve his current state.

Had even one step been missed, Su Tu might not have attained this unique Heart and Spirit.

Concurrently, he grasped the intentions of these Great Divine Power Users; they were aware of the suppression affecting their Heart and Spirit, yet they persisted in remaining within its confines.

This was not merely for their own advancement but also to forge a path for humanity's future.

The path of the Heart and Spirit is the path of the Immortal Divine, yet they had taken a wrong turn, strayed from the course, and consequently, none could reach the Other Shore.

They were unaware of the origin of this great sun, only knowing that perhaps within it lay a possibility to correct their errors, or perhaps it held the chance to amend mistakes for the sake of humanity’s future.

They might falter, but humanity’s future could not continue down an erroneous path.

Thus, they had placed their Heart and Spirit within.

As previously stated, Su Tu’s Heart and Spirit now possessed a fundamental divergence from theirs. Even the formidable Eastern Emperor, while contemplating these matters, could not discern Su Tu’s true nature.

Was he a god or a devil, an ancient, inscrutable entity, or something else entirely?

In the ultimate moment, he had exerted every effort. Confronting such an existence, he chose openness and directness rather than concealment.

This was also the reason why Su Tu effortlessly acquired all knowledge regarding the Eastern Emperor and the others.

At this precise moment, within the Star River, two-thirds of the Three Deceits Cult's disciples had been eradicated, and the skill proficiency of Inference of Heaven had astonishingly reached seventy thousand.

The once seemingly distant target of a million skill proficiency was now within near reach.

Although the remaining thirty thousand levels seem like a sky-high figure, the Hearts and Spirits of every Great Divine Power User are now within Su Tu’s control.

He had to ponder if this was the sole chance presented to him in this lifetime.

Once he absorbed these Great Divine Power Users’ Hearts and Spirits, the skill levels attained would undoubtedly reach an immeasurable quantity.

This quantity would certainly surpass thirty thousand by a vast margin.

Su Tu even harbored a suspicion that the Eastern Emperor’s Heart and Spirit alone might be sufficient to fulfill the remaining skill level requirements.

Previously, Su Tu had never contemplated employing such a method to advance his skill levels; after all, devouring the Hearts and Spirits of Great Divine Power Users was an utterly radical act.

Had these individuals not revealed their weaknesses at this moment, any Great Divine Power User would have been incredibly difficult to manipulate; considering that, over the immense span of years within the Federation of the Human Race, there had only ever been these thirty-odd Great Divine Power Users.

Yet now, with a mere thought from Su Tu, all aspects of these Great Divine Power Users would be transmuted into mere numerical data on his skill bar.
