Chapter 714: The Touch of the Heart.

"Because, what the Master has given you is not happiness, but pain, pressure, and burden. In the past seven years, you have seen every day of your life, even in the years when the master was asleep, he has not missed it. As a teacher, I only taught you martial arts, but I didn't teach you the mentality, and I was not qualified. As a father, I can't teach you how to properly face everything in front of you, which is why you are so tired now... Unqualified... So, this is the first time that Master has talked to you, and I hope that in the next conversation, you can communicate with me like a child and a father..."

As he spoke, the old ghost laughed at himself, "Although it feels a little strange and awkward..."

"No, it's not awkward at all. Mu Chen smiled slightly and answered.

"Really? haha. Old Ghost Xuan smiled, "Then let me ask you, in your concept, what is the purpose of cultivation?"

"Lift yourself, become stronger, protect your loved ones. Mu Chen replied without hesitation.

Old Ghost nodded, "Indeed, your purpose and reason are the same as before, and they have not changed in the slightest, so let me ask you again, compared to before, do you think that the pleasure that cultivation brings you now is the same as before?"

This time, Mu Chen groaned, yes, the pleasure now is the same as before?......

"Is the source of power the same now as it was before?"

“......”

"Tired?"

Silent, still silent, the old ghost continued, "The pleasure has decreased, or even there is no pleasure anymore, right?" The motivation is no longer the same as before, pure and pure just to stand at the top of the world, but the pressure, the pressure from Tingyu Pavilion, the pressure from Mu Bingling's girl Xueyue Linghu, from the more and more contacts and more and more things to bear, very tired... Isn't it?"

Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath of the fresh air inside the Extreme Spirit Bead, and said with a wry smile, "Yes..."

Thinking back to the beginning, when the old ghost helped him recast the dantian, when he broke through the martial artist from a martial artist, when he broke through one ring by one, when he mastered a combat skill, a secret method, and a combat skill, that kind of happiness, that joy, has long since ceased to exist. The heart is getting heavier and heavier, the pressure on the shoulders is getting heavier and heavier, and cultivation has become a habit, a thing that has to be repeated every day, and it loses its original color and throbbing.

"You're pushing yourself. The old ghost sighed, "Forcing yourself, squeezing yourself, and constantly moving forward, but Xiao Chenzi, do you know? Diligence, hard work, perseverance, these external factors will become less and less effective for your improvement as your martial arts realm becomes higher and higher, weaker and weaker, and even in the end, loses any effect." ”

"Lose any effect?" Mu Chen's pupils shrank suddenly.

Old Ghost shook his head with a wry smile, "Yes, it will lose any effect." Shizun once said that no matter how high and strong a person's martial arts talent is, if he doesn't work hard and is not diligent, then his martial arts realm must progress very slowly, and if he doesn't wake up in the process of slow progress, then he will definitely waste his talent and qualifications because of his laziness in the end. ”

Combined with the above words, Mu Chen said, "Is this view wrong?"

Xuan Lao Ghost shook his head solemnly, "No, this point of view will never be wrong, diligence can make up for it." However, there is a great limit to the ability to make up for shortcomings in diligence. Master Venerable will give you an analogy, suppose your talent can only allow you to reach the Four-Ring Martial Emperor in your lifetime, and according to the ordinary cultivation speed, you will reach this limit before the age of forty. Then, if you cultivate twice as long as your ordinary cultivation speed, or even four times as long, you will be able to reach this limit before you are twenty or even twenty years old. ”

"What's more, because of your diligence, your tenacity, and your perseverance, this limit will be broken by you, because you have saved twenty years of cultivation time compared to a martial artist of the same talent. In the remaining twenty years, you may rely on perseverance and time to forcibly raise your martial arts realm to the peak of the Nine Rings Martial Emperor, but that is your real limit, the limit that you can never cross. ”

Mu Chen was stunned, "The limit that can never be crossed?" Could it be that this is what the master said, diligence, hard work, and perseverance will lose their effect with the improvement of the martial arts realm?"

Xuan Lao Ghost nodded, "Yes, but diligence, hard work, perseverance, these three statements are not comprehensive, it should be said that at this moment, all the external factors that affect the martial arts realm will lose their effect at the same time, why? Martial arts martial arts, martial arts first and then the way, before the imperial realm relied on diligent and hard cultivation, after the imperial realm, it relied on the perception of martial arts, and whether you can deeply understand martial arts, martial arts talent is the most fundamental factor, it is the basis for measuring how far you can go in martial arts. ”

Hearing this, Mu Chen couldn't help frowning, this scene was seen by the old ghost Xuan, but the old ghost didn't ask, and continued, "Do you think what I said has nothing to do with the previous ones?"

Mu Chen nodded subconsciously.

Old Ghost Xuan laughed, "Master asked you, what do you need to do when you break through the martial arts realm?"

"Impact bottlenecks. ”

"So is it getting harder and harder for you to hit the bottleneck, is it getting smaller, or is it staying the same all the time?"

"It's getting harder. ”

Mu Chen really understands this problem, this year's cultivation, with the improvement of his martial arts realm, the speed of breaking through the bottleneck is getting slower and slower, and even, it took him a month to impact the third ring of the imperial realm from the second ring of the imperial realm. This puzzled him.

"Why is it getting harder?"

Yes, why is it getting more and more difficult? Obviously, it is all a layer of diaphragm, and it is obviously a full of accumulated dantian yuanli, why is it taking longer and longer, is it because the diaphragm has become thicker?

"It's because the required martial arts perception has deepened. Xuan Lao Ghost said again, "And your state of mind, your mood will determine your martial arts perception, when your heart is tired, when you can no longer experience the pleasure of cultivation, when you are already driven by pressure to keep moving forward, when you are forcing yourself every time you break through, you are constantly urging yourself, even if your talent is strong, your martial arts realm will stop at a certain moment, this is the true intention that the master wants to convey to you." ”

Speaking of this, Old Ghost Xuan suddenly showed a gentle smile, "So Xiao Chenzi, since you can't solve those things with your current ability, then, let's throw out all these so-called pressures, so-called burdens, and so-called boulders in your heart first." When you really need to use your strength to solve these things, and then face them head-on, maybe then you will have the strength to fight against them?"

"But... Is this an escape?" Mu Chen's heart was suddenly touched by the old ghost.

"This is not an escape, this is called Qu Shen, take a step back and open the sky, Xiao Chenzi, don't you think that because of these negative things, you have missed countless scenery over the years?"

"Over the years, have I missed countless landscapes?" Mu Chen's gaze gradually became confused, and the touch of his heart became more and more intense.

"It's also because of these burdens that you have become passive and let you escape countless loves, Xiao Chenzi, you really need to take a good rest, let yourself learn to enjoy this world, enjoy the pleasure that cultivation brings you, enjoy the joy that progress brings you, enjoy... The love that others give you. ”

Suddenly, a big hand covered Mu Chen's head, rubbed it gently, and then, a gentle word floated out.

"Even learn to take the initiative and take the initiative to create your own future, instead of passively catering to all ......"
