Han Yu’s expression was hardly any better. Stuck in this small world?

Doesn’t that mean they can’t get out?

"If you manage to leave without being struck dead by lightning, of course, you can still get out."

Su Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly.

That’s just nonsense. With such a terrifying thing, Han Yu wouldn’t dare to show up.

If things go wrong, what will happen to my future pills? How will I distribute pills?

If I can’t distribute pills, how will I grow stronger?

Never mind being trapped for a lifetime, even if it’s just for a month, Han Yu would find it unbearable.

Besides, this lousy place is so small you can reach the edge with a few steps. Being trapped here is no different from being in prison.

"I’ll think of a way! You guys take a rest for now."

Su Xiaoxiao said this to Wang Xingzhi and the others, and after speaking, he hurriedly flew towards the main hall with four powerful individuals.

"Do you really have a solution?"

Someone asked Su Xiaoxiao on the way back to the hall.

Su Xiaoxiao gave a disgruntled look. He had no solution; if he did, he wouldn’t have come here.

Then why did he come here?

Naturally, to call for reinforcements. Such a big situation couldn’t be handled by him alone, so he needed to find someone who could.

Sitting cross-legged on the divine platform, Su Xiaoxiao lit three incense sticks, whose smoke curled up delicately.

However, it didn’t have the effect he wanted. Nothing happened for a long time.

Normally, this place was meant for communicating with the outside world, and the divine platform was their bridge. Yet there was no response from the other side.

"Damn it, what are they all doing, where are the people?"

Su Xiaoxiao was so furious that he wanted to smash the incense burner.

At this time, someone awkwardly reminded him with an odd expression on their face.

"Brother Su, the person responsible for contacting this place seems to be you."

The atmosphere turned a bit awkward. Yes, the person responsible for connecting here was always Su Xiaoxiao. If he was on the other side, they could contact him at any time.

But what if he was here?

They exchanged glances, feeling an inexplicable sense of absurdity.

It turns out Brother Su was trying to contact himself; if there was a response, that would be strange!

Su Xiaoxiao’s face flushed because he had just realized it too.

This wretched place was meant to contact him!

"Brother, do we have any other solutions?"

Someone quickly asked.

This...

Su Xiaoxiao grew troubled, wanting to say there was no other way.

Since he was the liaison, tasked with coordinating the cultivators here.

So naturally, the divine platform here was directed to him.

Even more awkwardly, upon hearing that Lei Wang had descended here, he immediately rushed over without leaving any backup plan.

The only foolish method now was to wait for them to contact him.

And worse still, the time interval might be quite long.

As for how long, it depended on when the other side realized something was wrong.

Su Xiaoxiao looked distressed, and to make matters worse, as Lei Wang was a loser, no one was likely to notice him anytime soon.

Lei Wang also looked distressed, contemplating what to say later.

To say that during their trip to the Central Continent, eighteen Divine Platform Realm cultivators almost perished and didn’t even make it?

To blame it on the cunning enemy who set an ambush in advance, causing eighteen to be reduced to just eight by one person?

To say that they couldn’t deal with the Celestial Dao Sect group because of a minor accident along the way?

To say they initially planned to use the resentment of the masses to trap Su Xiaoxiao but ended up provoking the Tribulation Thunder instead?

To say they are now trapped outside by the Tribulation Thunder and can’t go anywhere?

Lei Wang’s face turned a livid color, as the copper mirror before him, which was glowing faintly, suddenly dimmed when he withdrew his spiritual power.

It’s simply not something that can be spoken of!

Seeking help after making such a mess would be no different from seeking death.

Never mind the embarrassment, there was a high probability of facing severe punishment as well.

How did things develop this way?

He came to show off before others, to thoroughly crush Su Xiaoxiao, to prepare to unveil his grand plan.

How... how did it end up with him stuck inside?

"So what do we do?"

Shang Di didn’t question why they suddenly stopped contacting the Holy Sect. Instead, he asked about their strategy.

What Lei Wang thought about worried them too; if anything did happen, they couldn’t escape the consequences either.

What to do?

Lei Wang was at a loss, fearing anyone would ask him what to do.

If he knew what to do, would he feel this miserable?

"Let’s think of another way!"

Nonsense, the four of them grumbled inwardly.

They had no solution so far; would one suddenly emerge just by thinking?

The atmosphere in the palace was gloomy and bleak...

...

In contrast, the Mo Family was celebrating joyfully, in high spirits.

As the first person in Central Continent to be struck by lightning, the Great Elder of Piaomiao Sect, and a guest official of the Inspectorate, he was emerging from an inexplicable Illusion Realm.

Success!

Dignified as a cultivator of the Realm of Transcendence and having practiced for hundreds of years, he was now jumping excitedly like a child.

Chasing Soul watched on with a strange expression and couldn’t help but chime in, "You just passed the questioning of the heart by heaven and earth, not stably sat on the divine platform."

Seeing him act like he’d broken through a realm, there was no need to be so worked up.

He couldn’t understand these Central Continent people at all.

However, from the memories of split souls, he knew people like them always had everything fall into place, having always been groomed by the Yama Hall.

They cultivated, broke realms, and reached the divine platform; everything seemed predestined, nothing worth his excitement.

However, to see Central Continent people breeze through the questioning of the heart by heaven and earth was somewhat impressive.

Mo Xiuwen’s words echoed in his ears: Central Continent doesn’t lack talent, only time!

"Then I’ll give it a try too!"

Elder Luo of the Nanli Sword Studio eagerly stepped forward.

Chasing Soul, wanting to be efficient, readily shared the essence of the questioning of the heart by heaven and earth.

Questioning the heart by heaven and earth is neither a cultivation technique nor an ability, just a method.

It takes the cultivator as a guide, to genuinely communicate with the heavens and bring forth the questioning of the heart.

This method isn’t considered very valuable. The Yama Hall knows it, and the Celestial Dao Sect knows it, but the Central Continent people regard it as a treasure.

Elder Luo couldn’t help but sit cross-legged, and not just him, those beside him also followed in sitting cross-legged.

Chasing Soul was gradually baffled, witnessing cultivators of the Realm of Transcendence communicating with the heavens, but cultivators of the Divine Gaze Realm joining in as well.

Indeed, disciples of the Mo Family and the Fifth Tower cultivators also sat down one by one.

Even those cultivators who hadn’t yet reached the Divine Gaze Realm joined in.

"This is just a method to hone the threshold of the Divine Platform Realm!"

Chasing Soul couldn’t understand these people anymore. Honestly, the so-called questioning of the heart was merely a training exercise before crossing the threshold back then. Why were these people treating it like a precious treasure?

"One man’s trash is another man’s treasure."

Of the people present, only Chasing Soul and Quan Xiaotong remained standing. Quan Xiaotong spoke with a smile.

No matter the perspective, such a method for tempering the state of mind shouldn’t merely be used to cross the threshold of the Divine Platform Realm.

That’s why cultivators large and small in Central Continent found it so precious.

Call them bumpkins if you want.

Say they haven’t seen worldly things, fine!

"But you can’t question their perspective; this method is a mystical treasure."

Quan Xiaotong said with a grin, genuinely feeling like he’d stumbled upon treasure.

Though it can’t boost strength alone, sometimes one’s state of mind is more important than strength.

"Wait for me for a moment, alright?"

Quan Xiaotong said this, then also sat cross-legged.

He wanted to see how the heavens posed questions to the heart too!
