This was the second time Chen Kuang tried to shake someone's faith in the Tao.
The first time was when he escaped from the Heavenly Prison, and the victim was naturally that Taoist who probably still wanted to kill him.
This world's relatively materialistic way of proving the truth has a sense of "a gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart". As long as your behavior conforms to your own "Tao", what you think in your heart is actually not particularly important.
But this also means that even for a rare genius or a saint who can move mountains and fill the sea, the lack of character in his mind and character becomes even greater within the possible scope.
Chen Kuang knew this a long time ago. If he could make good use of this point, then no matter how high the opponent's cultivation level was, he would not be invincible.
After Chen Kuang himself entered the Baoyue Realm and achieved a "heart lake" that was strong enough to resonate with the laws of heaven and earth, he discovered that the so-called "Dao Heart" actually had substance.
Once you begin to prove the Tao, you will condense the "foundation of Tao" in the "lake of heart". Simply put, it is the test paper on which you submit your answers.
All you need to do is write the question you set for yourself on this blank test paper.
What we need to do next is to continuously improve it.
Until the "Tao foundation" is perfected and recognized by heaven and earth, a "Tao heart" will be forged.
"Dao Heart" is the foundation of the power of the top three grades of practitioners, but at the same time, it is also their inescapable cage, turning them into puppets of "Dao".
Of course, this is a bit of an exaggeration. If the mind and nature are united with the Tao, and the Tao comes from the heart, then naturally there is no need to strictly guard against whether one's "Tao heart" will be broken.
But if one's mind is already unstable, as long as one induces the other person to act in a way that goes against one's own "Tao"...
Then, the "heart of Tao" will collapse on its own.
However, even if these practitioners who can attain enlightenment have flaws in their hearts, they will not reveal them easily.
It was because Chen Kuang caught Shen Xingzhu's lie that he discovered that this seemingly cold and kind fairy was actually dark inside and treated people as playthings.
But for Mu Zhao, Chen Kuang didn't even need to test him.
The hypocrisy of this person can be seen from the fact that he confused right and wrong, labeled himself as an evil cultivator, and issued a killing order.
Could such a hypocritical person really hate himself to this extent just because of the death of two of his disciples?
Impossible.
Chen Kuang was certain of this. The look in Mu Zhao's eyes when he looked at him was not revenge for the murder of his disciple, but revenge for the murder of his father.
Who can be the “father” of the “Martial Saint”?
Only the way of heaven.
Chen Kuang is no longer the ignorant mortal musician who was imprisoned.
There is no longer any truly complete "Tao" in this world.
Therefore, if Daoan Realm wants to advance to Chanliao Realm, it can only find other ways.
What Mu Zhao was thinking about was perhaps to fulfill his own "Tao" through the "Tao" of others.
That's why he was so eager to support Wen Yao to become the next saint, so that he could break free from the shackles and get closer to "Heaven's Way".
Wen Yao's death cut off this possibility, which made him so angry.
So Chen Kuang used this as an opportunity to test the waters.
He was only 60% sure.
If he guessed wrong, and the outcome was still uncertain, he would have to reveal all his cards and try again.
But fortunately he guessed right.
And more importantly, he has too many chips!
As for the "Martial Saint", he knew very well how difficult it was to cultivate a quasi-saint seedling. Even for a genius like Li Hongling, it might take at least 20 to 30 years to be promoted to a grandmaster, and there was no guarantee that he could be promoted to the upper third rank.
Not to mention an unprecedented genius like Shen Xingzhu, even someone of Jiang Yunqing's level might not be able to turn over a single palm.
After Wen Yao's death, Mu Zhao had even fewer options.
And at this moment, Chen Kuang suddenly showed his complete mastery of the Martial Saint's unique skills!
Mu Zhao didn't even think about Chen Kuang's purpose of stealing his skills, because he not only learned the basics, but also mastered the spirit and form!
This is naturally due to the passive effect of "Martial Arts Prodigy".
Theoretically, Chen Kuang could learn any martial arts he had seen in one go.
However, learning too many things is actually not beneficial, and the "martial arts genius" can only allow him to "learn" but cannot directly fill the progress bar. If he wants to really use it effectively, he still needs a lot of practice.
Furthermore, the Martial Saint's unique skills will inevitably involve the Martial Saint's own "Tao" in the end.
Ever since Chen Kuang used the "Dao Heart" to threaten Shen Xingzhu, he subconsciously felt the unreliability of the so-called "Dao" in this world. If he learned it, he would inevitably be constrained by others.
But the "learning" that Chen Kuang showed at this moment was enough for Mu Zhao to see hope.
This is not just a genius, but also a genius who no longer needs trial and error.
If Chen Kuang was willing to continue learning, even if it was just for show, Mu Zhao wouldn't care at all. What he needed was not a disciple, but a container of "Tao"!
Mu Zhao seemed to have found a way out of a desperate situation.
He would not have believed Chen Kuang's words so easily, but Chen Kuang also had a "reasonable and well-founded" passive argument.
[Well-reasoned and well-founded: As long as your words are logically consistent, they are likely to be believed and difficult to be doubted.]
This was the final move that tipped the balance in Mu Zhao's heart.
Don't regret your move. If you make a mistake, there will be no recovery.
At this moment, Mu Zhao heard the sound of his own shattered heart, and then he realized what a stupid thing he had done!
For a Grandmaster, the destruction of the Dao Heart is nothing more than the shattering of the "Dao Foundation". Before it is recast, it is difficult to advance to the upper three levels, and it does not have a big impact on the cultivation level.
