1757 The G.o.d Kings Argument, Heart-Asking Path, G.o.d King Ashamed

How dare you, Heavenly Sword! How dare you kill the Temples invigilator?! a cold voice shouted.

With that, a boundless aura erupted from within the temple, followed by an Emperor qi mixed with Daoist law. The burst of combined energy was aimed at Chu Kuangren.

The Emperor qi and Daoist law meant that a G.o.d King from the Emperor Tribe was present.

Given Chu Kuangrens current power level, unless he used the Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Green Lotus, he would not be able to defend himself against a G.o.d King.

!!

However, the Chaos Green Lotus originated from the Pan Gu Universe, and he could not reveal it unless necessary. Despite that, he had no intention to use it.

Facing the incoming Emperor qi, he stood with his hands behind his back, looking calm.

Then, another powerful aura erupted from within the temple. This time, it was a surge of domineering qi.

When the domineering qi and Emperor qi clashed, Daoist laws intertwined and collided, causing the collapse of the galaxy.

However, it barely affected Chu Kuangren because he knew someone would do something about the G.o.d King from the Emperor Tribe.

On second thought, the temple was named Central Heaven Temple, not Emperor Temple. There was no way the Emperor Tribe was fully in charge of the place.

Di Hong, this is the Central Heaven Temple. Who gave you the permission to intervene and threaten an examinee? An elders voice sounded.

Despite sounding old, the voice contained a domineering and powerful intent.

Overlord Liu, the Heavenly Sword killed the invigilator and challenged the temple openly. Should he not be punished? Di Hong said with killing intent overflowing from him.

Hmph! The invigilator from your tribe was unfair for targeting him. You cant blame anyone for his death.

Even if he treated the Heavenly Sword unfairly, he shouldnt be killed. The Heavenly Sword killed him, so hes in the wrong!

Oh? So the Emperor Tribe can kill others, but its wrong when others kill someone from your tribe? What nonsense are you spewing?

The two voices were arguing fiercely, and neither one of them was backing down.

The aura that their voices released was suffocating to everyone present.

As expected of the G.o.d Kings. Even the aura they release in an argument is so terrifying, Ling Fei clicked his tongue in awe.

Only some Prodigies and sky-prides were fine under the intimidating aura.

Enough.

Another voice came from within the temple.

When the third voice sounded, the two G.o.d Kings immediately stopped their argument and dispersed their aura.

The sky-prides were shocked.

Who was it? Who had the power to quash the arguments of two G.o.d Kings?

Its the invigilators fault this time. The Heavenly Sword is not wrong, the indifferent voice said.

The voice sounded like it was from a middle-aged man, and the way he spoke was pleasant to the ears.

Suddenly, an image of an elegant scholar appeared before everyone.

G.o.d King Sikong, if hes left unpunished, it will tarnish the temples reputation. Di Hong was insistent on punis.h.i.+ng Chu Kuangren.

In that case, what do you propose?

Deny his entry to the temple! Di Hong said.

Nonsense! Weve announced that we will accept everyone from all backgrounds. If someone as good as the Heavenly Sword is denied entry, how would the others qualify? That Di Qianqiu from your tribe? He was defeated by the Heavenly Sword even when he teamed up with the others.

Youre the one spouting nonsense! Di Hong argued back angrily.

The sky-prides and Prodigies were somewhat nervous. Would the two G.o.d Kings end up fighting each other?

If the G.o.d Kings fight, would they be able to flee in time?

Enough. Youre both G.o.d Kings of the temple. Where are your manners and dignity? G.o.d King Sikong spoke and stopped the two of them again.

After that, he continued, How about this? I will set up a Heart-Asking Path. If the Heavenly Sword can make it through, he will be granted entry to the temple.

G.o.d King Sikong, I dont think thats appropriate. The Heavenly Sword did no wrong. Overlord Liu objected to the suggestion.

G.o.d King Sikong, the Heart-Asking Path is not enough. I think you should add the Void G.o.d-Killing Formation!

The Void G.o.d-Killing Formation? The sixth of the top ten murderous formations in the Central Heaven Seven Planets? Are you trying to test a G.o.d King or the Heavenly Sword? Di Hong, your shamelessness surprises me.

Enough! G.o.d King Sikong spoke again before the other two could start another argument.

One Heart-Asking Path and thats it!

The other two G.o.d Kings were forced to accept the suggestion.

Chu Kuangren stood in the starry sky and listened to the voices from within the temple. He pictured the amusing scene of three G.o.d Kings arguing because of him.

Youre the reason were arguing, and there you are, watching the show, G.o.d King Sikong said with slight displeasure in his tone.

The Heavens do not care about going into the temple, but your Heart-Asking Path has intrigued the Heavens.

In that case, set foot on the path, G.o.d King Sikong said.

In front of the Central Heaven Temple, a flight of white jade stairs appeared. Each step had countless mystical runes carved into it.

Oh? Is this the Heart-Asking Path?

The Heart-Asking Path only allows those with a clear conscience to tread. Its a path that tests a persons mental state and reflects what youve done in the past. Should you be guilty of any crime, you wont be able to make it.

It sounded easy but was actually extremely difficult.

No mortals could live a life with a clear conscience, let alone cultivators.

Cultivators lived ten times longer than a mortal and did a lot more things that might have crossed ones conscience, so one dared to call themselves guilt-free.

From the day G.o.d King Sikong started the Heart-Asking Path, only less than a handful of cultivators made it through. The Heavenly Sword would never make it, Di Hong said.

I wouldnt be so sure if I were you. If he dares to call himself the Heavens, his mental state must be strong, Overlord Liu refuted.

Heart-Asking Path that tests ones mental state? How boring.

Chu Kuangren shook his head and took a step forward.

It was at that moment that countless illusions attacked him and challenged him mentally.

However, his mental state was as strong as an immovable monolith.

It had been many years since Chu Kuangrens Daoist core was tested.

He walked forward leisurely.

From the moment he set foot onto the Heart-Asking Path, his expression never changed. Even after he made it through halfway, his steps remained firm, and his pace remained steady.

Di Hong was somewhat shocked.

The firm mental state of the Heavenly Sword was shocking.

A while later, Chu Kuangren completed the Heart-Asking Path.

He stood in front of the entrance of the Central Heaven Temple and said, The Heart-Asking Path asks the heart of a mortal, but the Heavens are unpredictable and arent something you can test at will.

With that, the flight of stairs cracked.

The crack spread across the entire flight of stairs and ultimately disintegrated into glittering dust, scattering into s.p.a.ce.

G.o.d King Sikong fell silent before he sighed quietly. Even I cant test the Heavenly Swords Daoist core.

His words silenced everyone present.

Everyone thought they had heard wrongly.

The G.o.d King was embarra.s.sed and ashamed!
