Everyone was stunned for a moment when Xiao Linglong suddenly barged in.

I don't quite understand.

Why?

This top group can be said to be the twenty most promising geniuses in the Eastern Wilderness. Whether in terms of their strength or their state of mind, they are all natural geniuses who have reached the pinnacle.

Xiao Linglong is only five years old. How did she pass the heart-questioning level?

Not only were they confused, Lin Qingzhu herself was also a little confused. Holding the petite little girl in her arms, Lin Qingzhu tidied her hair.

Curiously asked: "Linglong, how did you get here? Where is your second sister..."

Xiao Linglong looked up at Lin Qingzhu's eyes, then looked at the people around who were eyeing her covetously.

He looked a bit guilty, looked at everyone, and whispered in Lin Qingzhu's ear: "Senior Sister, I beat up the old man guarding the gate, and he let me in..."

"Damn, can you play like this?"

Although her voice was very soft, everyone still heard it.

"Isn't this questioning of the heart a test of one's mind, and one's understanding and view of the Tao?"

"How come there is such a way to play? We didn't even know about it..."

For a moment, everyone was stunned, even those outside the venue were a little confused.

They calculated this nineteenth person for a long time and thought that he would be between the nineteenth and twentieth place on the Hidden Dragon List.

Who knew that Xiao Linglong suddenly rushed in and took the 19th spot.

"What on earth is going on?"

Outside the venue, the crowd of spectators looked at each other, none of them noticed what had just happened.

The main reason is that they focused their attention on the top level, so they didn't pay attention to the things at the inner level.

Even Ye Qiu was a little stunned. Wasn’t this damn girl asleep? Why did she suddenly run to the top floor?

What exactly happened during this period?

I was totally confused and had no idea what was happening.

Fortunately, the light curtain has the function of time rewinding, so we can check what just happened.

True Man Zi Yang slowly stretched out his hand and injected a force into the light curtain. He then slowly pushed the magic circle.

"Going back in time..."

In an instant, the light screen changed immediately, and the picture went back to half an hour ago.

Conscience level.

After Lin Qingzhu entered the top floor, peace returned to the place once again.

After watching her leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh... As expected of a disciple of the Sword Immortal, his reputation is well-deserved. His sword skills are astounding. It seems that this Yunding Mountain Forum will be a good show to watch."

“Did you notice that after passing this level, her potential value has reached as much as 80,000.

If she hadn’t been delayed for so long, her potential might be higher than He Wushuang who ranks first…”

"Currently, eighteen places have been chosen for the top level. The nineteenth and twentieth people have not appeared yet."

“I don’t know who will win next and advance to the top level.”

Everyone was talking about it and the discussion was heated.

At this moment, a petite figure suddenly broke in here.

Everyone was stunned by her arrival.

"Whose little kid is this? Why is he here?"

Everyone was puzzled. They saw Xiao Linglong sticking her head out of the door and secretly taking a look at the situation inside.

After seeing that there was no danger.

She carried a huge hammer and jumped into the soul-searching layer.

Looking back, he found that Zhao Wan'er had not followed him, so he squatted at the door and waited for a while.

"What's going on? This little girl looks like she's only five years old. Why is she here?"

Everyone looked puzzled, some even a little bewildered.

Those who can reach the level of questioning conscience are all from distinguished families, chosen ones from famous holy places, and outstanding young talents of their generation.

And how did Xiao Linglong get here at such a young age?

Obviously, they didn't know what had just happened below, so they were a little confused.

Turning back, someone came up curiously, pinched Xiao Linglong's face, and said, "Little guy, whose child are you and why are you here?"

Seeing his bold move, some people in the crowd broke out in a cold sweat and gasped.

"Oh my god, who is this? He is so bold that he even dares to pinch the little devil's face..."

"Are you looking for death?"

The man turned pale with fear, for he had seen with his own eyes the scene of Xiao Linglong's killing spree at the foot of the mountain.

He had developed a deep fear of this little devil. If Xiao Linglong had not let him go in the end, he would not have come here.

Now, when he sees someone dare to pinch the little devil’s face, he gets so scared that his legs go limp.

That's a little devil who kills without blinking an eye, how dare you...

Xiao Linglong blinked her watery eyes, pouted and glanced at the guy who pinched her face.

Suddenly I wanted to hit him with a hammer, but then I remembered that my senior sister had told me not to hit others unless the other party hit me first.

After thinking about it, I decided to hold back.

"Why do you mind me..."

Xiao Linglong said angrily, she was very unhappy with this man's behavior.

"Yeah, that's so cute."

Seeing her angry and arrogant look, the young man felt his heart melt when he saw her so cute. He pinched her even harder.

"Fuck, I'm asking for death..."

This behavior caught the eyes of the people behind him, and they were so scared that they trembled all over.

He quietly retreated several hundred meters to avoid being accidentally injured.

The young man asked curiously, "Little guy, tell me, who is your master, and how did you get here?"

Xiao Linglong thought for a moment and replied, "My master is..."

"Hey, what's my master's name?"

Xiao Linglong was suddenly stunned. After thinking for a long time, she finally remembered her master's name.

"My master is Ye Qiu. What's your master's name? Is he powerful?"

"Ye Qiu?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, "Why does this name sound familiar?"

Maybe it was because Xiao Linglong did not include the three big words "Zixia Peak", the young man did not react for a while.

He just smiled and said, "My master is very powerful. My master is the great elder of Zhulu Academy, Cao Zhixuan."

"How is it? Better than your master, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Cao Zhixuan, the great elder of Zhulu Academy outside the venue, suddenly trembled.

"Fuck..."

I am so filial.

Damn it, this traitor, don’t include me in your bragging.

As luck would have it, at this moment, Ye Qiu's eyes suddenly glanced over, and Cao Zhixuan was suddenly startled.

"Hey, fellow Taoist, don't be offended. Children are ignorant and just talk nonsense."

Cao Zhixuan laughed bitterly, and at this moment he wished he could skin his disciple alive.

It would be fine if he just boasted about himself, but he even dragged me into it.

After hearing this name, Xiao Linglong thought about it for a long time. She had never heard of Zhulu Academy.

"Impossible, my master is the most powerful."

Xiao Linglong retorted, and the young man smiled faintly, he was indeed a child.

The great elder of Zhulu Academy, with the cultivation of the peak leader, couldn't defeat you? Well, there's really nothing I can do to you.

After thinking for a while, the young man asked again: "Then tell me, which immortal mountain is your master practicing in, and what is his current cultivation level?"

Xiao Linglong blurted out, "Zixia Peak..."

"Zixia Peak?"

"What kind of holy place is this?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and suddenly... the smile on his face froze.

Could it be that Zixia Peak?

"Wait, Ye Qiu... Zixia Peak."

"Fuck..."

After just a few seconds, the young man realized that the master Xiao Linglong mentioned was none other than Ye Qiu, the head of Zixia Peak of the Butian Sect, also known as the Immortal Swordsman in White.

No wonder the name sounded so familiar to him.

After realizing what was happening, the young man's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. He squatted down shamelessly and apologized.

"Hehe, so it's the little princess of Zixia Peak. Your master is really amazing. Your master is really amazing. I'm sorry, I was wrong."

"Compared to your master, my master is nothing but trash, garbage. He is not worthy."

In order to appease Xiao Linglong, the young man bluntly belittled his master.

He could only pray in his heart that his master would never hear these words.

What he didn't know was that outside the field, Cao Zhixuan's face had turned as black as charcoal.

"Traitor, wait till you come out, and I'll show you how I'm going to beat you..."

At this moment, Cao Zhixuan had silently pulled out his belt, ready to kill his own relatives for the sake of justice.

When everyone present heard that Xiao Linglong was actually Ye Qiu's apprentice, they all gathered around.

"So you are the disciple of the Sword Immortal. No wonder you are able to reach here..."

"At such a young age, he has such strength. He is... a rare genius among millions."

Everyone was talking about it.

Seeing this, Xiao Linglong finally revealed a proud smile. It seemed that her master was still very powerful.

As soon as these people knew that she was Ye Qiu’s apprentice, they immediately came over to show their courtesy.

After taking a look around, Xiao Linglong asked, "Hey, have you seen my senior sister?"

Everyone was stunned, and immediately thought of Lin Qingzhu who had just entered the top floor, and explained: "I saw her, she just went up..."

"ah……"

When Xiao Linglong heard this, she was immediately discouraged. Zhao Wan'er told her that Lin Qingzhu was just ahead, so she fought all the way up.

I thought I could meet Lin Qingzhu here, but I was still a step late.

At this time, someone suddenly said, "You want to find your senior sister? That's easy. Do you see that stone tablet?

That is the test of this level. As long as you pass this level of test, you can see your senior sister. "

When Xiao Linglong heard this, she was immediately delighted and ran to the stone tablet.

Someone explained, "This is the heart-searching level. To pass this test, you need to have enough intelligence and a certain understanding of the Tao. Otherwise, you will be stuck at this level like us."

Xiao Linglong was stunned for a moment, scratched her hair, and was a little confused.

But in order to find her senior sister, she decided to give it a try.

She slowly walked to the stone tablet, ready to inject strength and start the test.

The people around her couldn't help laughing when they saw that she really wanted to try it.

"Haha, little guy, don't waste your energy. How old are you? You haven't even read a few Taoist scriptures. It's almost impossible for you to pass this level of questioning the heart."

Everyone looked at her with amusement as she tried to push the stone tablet. Some people advised her to give up, while others just wanted to watch how she would answer those questions.

I saw a force injected into the stone tablet, and just now... the old man holding the chess piece appeared again.

He was white-haired, sitting in nothingness, dropping a chess piece, and looking up.

When he saw a little guy standing in front of him, he was suddenly stunned.

Seeing him appear, Xiao Linglong imitated him and sat cross-legged on the other side of the chessboard, and said excitedly: "Hehe, old man, let's start."

"hehe……"

The old man smiled faintly, also finding it amusing, and then asked: "Little guy, do you know what Tao is?"

It was the same question again. When the old man asked this question, everyone laughed secretly.

I want to see how Xiao Linglong will answer.

Under their expectant gazes, Xiao Linglong scratched her head, looked back at everyone, and asked, "What is Tao? Can it be eaten?"

Everyone's mouth twitched.

My goodness, it seems she doesn’t even know what this sentence means.

That makes it even more impossible to answer this question.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing this scene, the people from the Butian Sect outside the venue couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Almost all the disciples of the Butian Sect knew that Emperor Linglong was illiterate.

In the beginning, Ye Qiu had put a lot of effort into making her learn to read and write, and he even turned the entire Butian Sect upside down.

Seeing this, everyone became more and more curious. How did Xiao Linglong pass this level without knowing how to read?

Watching quietly, I saw the old man's mouth twitching in the picture.

He has been guarding the Heart-Searching Layer for so many years and has seen all kinds of strange things, but he has never seen someone like Xiao Linglong.

I just heard him patiently explain: "What is the meaning of Tao? That is, do you know what Tao is? In other words, what is your understanding of Tao in your heart, and how do you view Tao?"

After listening to his explanation for a long time, Xiao Linglong seemed to understand.

It turns out that the Tao he was talking about is not a thing.

What is Tao?

Xiao Linglong fell into deep thought, holding her chin with one hand, thinking seriously for a while.

She vaguely remembered that her master seemed to have explained to her that what they, the cultivators, cultivated was the Tao.

As for the meaning of Tao, it depends on personal understanding. Everyone has a different understanding of Tao.

This thing can be the obsession that you never forget, or it can be the goal you pursue throughout your life.

"I see……"

After thinking for a while, Xiao Linglong's eyes suddenly lit up and she said excitedly.

"Oh? Tell me about it..."

The old man also became interested and wanted to hear what vicious words she could say.

Everyone looked over with great curiosity.

I only heard Xiao Linglong say seriously: "The Tao is roasted sweet potatoes."

As soon as these words came out, a large number of people fainted...

"Oh my god, what kind of answer is that? Why is it roasted sweet potatoes?"

"Haha, that's what I said. This little brat probably can't even read a few words. How could he possibly answer this question?"

Xiao Linglong's words immediately attracted everyone's laughter, and they laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt.

After so many years of practicing Taoism, this is the first time I heard that Taoism is roasted sweet potatoes.

Xiao Linglong looked up at them, very puzzled. According to what the master said, Tao is the obsession and pursuit in your heart.

Isn't the thing she is obsessed with roasted sweet potatoes?

The old man smiled when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "No..."

Xiao Linglong's face suddenly darkened. She felt the ridicule from people around her and was very unhappy.

The little hand silently reached out to the exquisite hammer beside him, with his head lowered, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Suddenly, she stood up.

A bolt of thunder came down from the sky, striking fiercely in the void, and everyone was shocked.

"Fuck, the little devil is going crazy, run..."

This astonishing force instantly frightened everyone so much that their faces turned pale.

The little exquisite hammer pointed at the old man and said, "Stinky old man, I don't care what the Tao is to you. To me, the Tao is me, and I am the Tao..."

As soon as these words came out, the old man's face changed, and the huge hammer came down violently.

In an instant, a terrifying force erupted, and the chessboard was smashed to pieces.

The old man quickly withdrew and retreated into nothingness. Just as he was coming to his senses, he found that the small figure was carrying a huge hammer and smashing towards him again.

“Oh my god…”

The old man was startled and the hammer hit him right on the face, breaking several of his teeth.

"Whose kid is this? He's too aggressive, isn't he? He even hits the tester?"

The old man was confused. He was a civil servant and couldn't fight.

Xiao Linglong pressed him to the ground and rubbed him, leaving him with a bruised face.

Putting him under her feet, Xiao Linglong stomped on him fiercely and said angrily, "I let you tease me, I'll trample you to death, I'll trample you to death, now you know what Tao is, right?"

“This is the Tao…”

It's really like a scholar meeting a soldier, he can't explain himself clearly.

If you can't answer, then you can't answer. Why hit me?

Just when she was confused, suddenly... a golden light slowly fell from the sky, and Xiao Linglong looked up curiously.

She found that the power was instantly injected into her body, and her emotions gradually recovered.

"Hmm? What's the matter?..."

Xiao Linglong was stunned. This seemed like a sign of passing the test.

As the light fell, everyone present was stunned.

"No way, this is also possible?"

The old man was even more confused, but after he came to his senses, he suddenly remembered what Xiao Linglong had just said.

"I am the Tao, and the Tao is me..."

The old man immediately understood something. She was using her actions to prove...

Entering the Tao through martial arts is also the Tao.

Just happened to pass the level by accident?

Oh shit, this is even possible?

This was recognition from Wen Xin Dao, acknowledging the fact that she had passed the test.

The old man's mouth twitched. It seemed that he had received this beating in vain...

He just lightly swept his right hand and immediately regained his previous immortal appearance.

"Little guy, congratulations, you've passed the level..."

The old man didn't care and congratulated with a smile.

Xiao Linglong came back to her senses, scratched her head, and was a little confused.

"Is that the end?"

"It doesn't seem that difficult..."

He muttered a few words, and then saw the luck slowly falling. Xiao Linglong looked back at everyone and made a face.

"Lululu, what a bunch of idiots, they can't even pass this..."

He left a few words, picked up the hammer, and walked towards the top floor with a ruthless pace.

Leaving everyone confused, they... were actually mocked by a little guy?

"Damn it, guys, I think I found the trick to pass the level..."
