"Master."
Seeing Taichu looking at the creatures in the formation with a smile, the Empty Spirit Fairy came to Taichu's side.
"Yes." Taichu nodded and asked, "You've been observing here for a long time. Have you learned anything?"
The Empty Spirit Fairy said, "Recently, I learned from Huo Ming, Cailu, and Tsing Yi that it's not easy to survive in the Untainted Land. Without self-protection, it's even more difficult to move forward. Some creatures are born with a weak foundation and don't have the guidance of strong masters. It's not easy for them to achieve anything. For example, these challengers want to be accepted by Master. Their Taoist Hearts are strong, but they are not strong enough. Compared to the Taichu World, we are much luckier under Master's guidance. "
Taichu smiled, "Empty Spirit, you've always had a good temperament. I have expectations for you. Your understanding is good."
Grand Primordium continued, "The so-called cultivation of the Dao is to compete with the heavens, the earth, and even yourself. The living beings of the Primordial World were born like this. They were always competing for luck, opportunities, numinous treasures, and even their lives. However, whether it's the Heavenly Way or the Great Tao, they are always ruthless but fair. Every creature has a bright moment, even if it's at the moment of death. What is Taoist Heart? The heart is Taoist Heart. "
Tai Chu turned to look at the living beings in the formation and said, "They are fighting for the Dao. They are also asking their hearts."
Empty Spirit frowned. She didn't understand what Taichu was trying to say. She said, "Master, are you feeling sorry for those creatures who can't break through the formation?"
"Haha!"
"Not really. I don't need to pity them. I won't pity them. "Taichu suddenly asked," Empty Spirit, do you believe in fate? "
"Huh?"
Empty Spirit was stunned. She thought for a while and said, "All my achievements were cultivated by Master. I don't believe in fate. I only believe in Master."
"Haha …" Taichu laughed heartily when he heard this alternative answer. He said to Empty Spirit, "Okay. But you can believe in one thing in the future."
"What?"
"Nothing else. Just the heart. Letting nature take its course is not cowardice, but another door. "
After that, Taichu didn't say anything else. He just looked at Kantian's comprehension.
The Taichu named Kongling Fairy after she obtained the Spirit Bamboo, hoping that she would have an empty heart.
Because of her own body and her attachment to the Taichu, Kongling's Dao heart seemed very stable, but in reality, she had yet to find her own Dao. She mistook the Taichu for Dao.
Therefore, when Taichu's cultivation progressed, he predicted that in the future if he did not examine his heart, it would be difficult for him to achieve great things.
This time, Taichu also hoped that he could teach Kongling by example.
Moreover, Taichu felt that an old friend was coming. Whether it was Yang Mei's Great Dao of Hollow Space or Hun Kun's Dao of Free and Unfettered Wind, both of them could touch her.
Yang Mei was more suited to teach Kongling. They had many similarities. Kongling was also suited to walk the Dao of Space.
Although Taichu also understood the Dao of Space, he was far from being a true expert.
Hun Kun's Dao of Wind was a stepping stone for Kongling Fairy. Kongling Fairy was too rigid and didn't know how to adapt. It could also be said that she wouldn't bend.
In fact, this was a good thing, but it wasn't suitable for Kongling Fairy who was only at the Taiyi level.
Growing through difficulties was true strength. Being strong without adaptability was like a tree that wouldn't bend when the wind blew. There was only one result: the bamboo would fall when the wind blew.
Before becoming a mountain, one had to be a water. Kongling Fairy's foundation was ultimately not as fearless as Taichu.
She wanted to learn Taichu and be like Taichu, but it seemed that she couldn't learn this!
…
"Teacher, the foundations of many of them (the living beings who are trying to break through the formation) are above mine, and some of them even surpass mine. But for the Dao in their hearts, they are willing to come from afar and accept your test. Teacher, are you reminding me not to bite off more than I can chew? Start from the smallest, from the smallest? "
Kongling Fairy seemed to have understood Taichu's guidance.
"Haha …" Taichu laughed, thinking that she was indeed a smart girl. However, he said, "Don't ask me. It's a long time. Think about it slowly. Understanding it yourself is better than having me remind you a hundred times. Especially this question."
"Yes, Teacher."
Kongling Fairy didn't continue asking. However, Taichu clearly felt that Kongling Fairy seemed to have changed. Her tenacity was still the same.
However, she wasn't like a wall anymore. Instead, she was like a bamboo. When the wind blew, she moved. When the wind stopped, she was still. Her tenacity didn't change, but her heart was wider.
"You're worth teaching!" Taichu said happily in his heart.

Time passed. Taichu observed the creatures that came to challenge the array for nearly a hundred years.
He knew how many of them could pass the array's test.
Ten thousand people came, but only a hundred managed to pass.
Once this calamity was over, Taichu would go and greet them.
Until one day, Taichu awoke from his meditation. He pinched his fingers and calculated that an old friend was about to arrive. This person was Hun Kun.
"Kongling Fairy!"
Tai Chu's summon was heard.
"Teacher!"
"Kongling Fairy, go to the Cleansing World Lake and pick some spirit fruits. I have guests coming to visit."
"Yes, Teacher."
After Kongling Fairy left, Taichu stood up and went to Carefree Island.
At this time, over a hundred creatures had already passed the array formation and were waiting here. As for those that hadn't passed, they were still continuing.
Of these people, no less than a thousand had their primordial souls damaged because of the array formation. Some had their dao hearts covered in dust, and some had even perished.
Taichu naturally didn't care about these people. If they couldn't pass, then they couldn't blame him. They could only blame their dao hearts for being too unstable.
"We greet the Immeasurable Taichu Taoist Priests."
As the hundred people that passed through the array formation saw Taichu arrive, their hearts were filled with endless excitement. They bowed to Taichu.
After countless years of rushing through the array formation, they had suffered a great deal. But, their dao hearts and dao hearts had risen.
Moreover, passing through the array formation meant that Taichu had accepted them.
"Whoosh!" Tai Chu waved his hand, and the Heart Questioning Array Formation dispersed.
The creatures that were still rushing through the array formation were stunned for a moment. After regaining their composure, they realized that they hadn't withstood the test. This meant that they had failed.
"You may leave. If there is no fate, then don't force it."
"Taoist Priests, please have mercy on us!"
There were actually some people that didn't want to give up.
Taichu said, "There are many large and small immortal islands in the South Sea. Choose a place to stay."
This was something that Taichu had already considered.
They wanted his protection. As long as they were in the South Sea and weren't too far from Carefree Island, he could protect them.
As for being accepted by him, that was impossible.
With these words, all of them knew that this was the best choice. If they went too far, Taichu wouldn't be happy.
"Thank you, Taoist Priests!"
The group of defeated individuals left dejectedly.
At this time!
"Taoist Priests, this questioning array formation is quite good. Humble me, Hun Kun, greets you."
It was Hun Kun. He had brought two boys with him.
"I've been waiting for a long time. After parting with Daoist Friend Hun Kun for so many years, Daoist Friend's cultivation has actually reached the Daluo Realm. This is truly worthy of celebration! "Taichu said with a smile.
"I came here to thank Daoist Friend, but I never imagined that I would see such a scene. Humble me is envious as I look at you. Unfortunately, my Dark North Sea isn't a place that the average person can enter. Humble me would have done the same as Daoist Friend. "
"Haha …" Taichu laughed. "Daoist Friend, please come with me to my dao temple for a chat."
"As you wish!" Hun Kun laughed.
Taichu said to the creatures that had rushed through the array formation, "All of you, come with me. Passing through the questioning array formation can be considered a lucky chance."
"Thank you, Taoist Priests!"
The hundreds of creatures let out a breath of relief.
