Martial World's
Ch 107 - Pass of Desire

…
With Lin Ming's current fame in Sky Fortune City, there were many great powers who wanted to show their goodwill to Lin Ming. However, due to the rules and customs of the Seven Profound Martial Houses, they could not interfere with Lin Ming's cultivation unless he left the Martial House or contacted them on his own initiative.
Under the jade stage, the lake was calm and glittered dark green, as if it was a huge liquid emerald. Since it was already near autumn, the rows of willow trees that were crying around the lake were already golden yellow. As the gentle autumn wind blew across the surface of the lake, the leaves swirled in the air like a golden moth before gently flapping down. But what is surprising is that not a single leaf fell into the lake.
Lin Ming sat cross-legged on the sea jade platform. This platform was the illusion magic array used in the entrance exam Dream Trials. It is only open in early spring and autumn when two exams are conducted. However, it was not the beginning of autumn anymore, so it was closed to Martial House disciples.
However, Lin Ming's status was special now, so he was specifically allowed to train and feel his heart of martial arts.
During the entrance examination of the Seven Profound Martial House, when Lin Ming was in the dream land of the sea jade platform, he discovered that there was a flaw in his heart from the Pass of Desire. In the Pass of Desire, Lin Ming had seen Lan Yunyue, ten years older. She was very graceful, and was singing children's songs. He had persuaded their son to sleep. When Lin Ming had seen this scene, he had almost lost himself in an illusion
Lin Ming knew that he no longer had any connection to Lan Yunyue Even when he was going to pursue the pinnacle of martial arts in the future, his path would no longer be the opposite of Lan Yunyue. But Lan Yunyue's betrayal was still a knot in her heart.
This so-called 'node' is a place in the heart that the intellect cannot imagine. In the journey of a martial artist, they not only cultivate their bodies, but they also cultivate their hearts and minds. They must be honest with themselves, and follow their desires, whether it be love or hate.
If not, what's the point? If they torture themselves to cultivate, and practice martial arts day and night, and feel destruction and loneliness at the same time, he said, yet having to endure everything in life patiently even when they experienced countless humiliations, then what exactly was the purpose of practicing martial arts? Why not be a normal person?
A martial artist had a proud heart. They will not keep things in their hearts like losing important contests or fighting. Such things could not make their hearts arrogant. However, there were some things that would happen, such as when Lan Yunyue betrayed Lin Ming and followed Zhu Yan. Such evil actions had greatly affected Lin Ming's pure heart, and no matter how strong and clear his heart of martial arts was, it would definitely leave a 'node' in the heart.
This is what laypeople talk about when they mention 'spirit'. As long as the spirit is subtle, then they will have a clear mind and a calm mind. Their true essence circulation would not be hampered and their meridians would be able to connect more easily.
On the other hand, if their 'spirit' is bad, then their mind will be obstructed, and they will be depressed. Not only would their true essence not move, but it would be trapped within their bodies and become a rage that would psychologically attack them. Not only can they not grow crops, but they will also damage their own health. If their arrogant hearts were too strong, then they would probably go crazy!
If their minds were to blur and their hearts were uncomfortable, the cultivation of a martial artist would be easily withheld. During the crucial period to break through the bottleneck, the 'nodes' would turn into demons that haunted their hearts. This would cause martial artists to fail, and become drowned forever with their obsession before eventually turning into idiots.
There is only one solution to clear this 'node', and it relies on their own power to break the knot and cut the evil spirits in the heart. Their minds would be clear, their breath refined, and true essence would easily flow!
For example, as in the competition, Zhu Yan had been defeated by Lin Ming. He had lost his dignity and also suffered serious injuries. His meridians had been damaged and it would affect his future efforts to enter the Pulse Condensation Period.
That event would cause Zhu Yan's proud and arrogant martial arts heart to become extremely frustrated. Even if he wanted to stand up and recover his pride, hiring an assassin to kill Lin Ming was useless. He had to one day rely on his own strength to defeat Lin Ming, and defeat these demons in his heart.
However, this was already impossible for Zhu Yan. Not only would he sustain severe injuries that would seriously affect his cultivation in the future, but even if he were to completely recover, then the difference between him and Lin Ming would only increase.
Instead, Lin Ming had defeated Zhu Yan at his strongest condition and cut this 'node' in his heart. His heart of martial arts would only increase again, and although he could not reach the perfect level, the time it took to pass the Dream Trial was reduced again. This time, it only took half an incense stick.
This time, he only needed half Ling Sen's time.
When he woke up from the dream world of martial arts, he closed his eyes and recalled what he had experienced in the Pass of Desire. Lin Ming's cheeks were a strange color. He no longer dreamed of Lan Yunyue anymore, but instead dreamed of Qin Xingxuan. Not only that, but he also dreamed of some girl who did not have too much impression. For example, the talented young inscription girl, Wang Yuhan, whom she met at the Inscription Association. There were also those cunning, rude, and completely unreasonable older sisters he had met in the Sitar Department when he was looking for materials.

There were also those cunning, rude, and completely unreasonable older sisters he had met in the Sitar Department when he was looking for materials.
However, once these two girls appeared in Lin Ming's dreamland they instantly disappeared.
Lin Ming now knew that the Pass of Desire did not always show women that he liked in his heart, but also those who were able to awaken the pent-up desire in his heart.
Desire includes not only love, but also . Human nature is animal nature. An animal exists only for two purposes; one to survive, the other to produce.
To survive, eat, and reproduce; it is a . Therefore ancient texts have noted that the nature of man is food and .
This instinct is imprinted on the bones of every living human being. Therefore the heart has developed various potential desires. Some desires are suppressed by the truth of their own morality. The Pass of Desire was able to discover this boundless heart and magnify it, and eventually cause someone to get lost within them.
As they say, there is no man in the vastness of heaven and earth who has no desire or desire.
Many martial artists practice martial arts to satisfy their desires. As they fought towards this goal, their martial arts cultivation would leap ten thousand miles each day. However, once they fulfilled their desires, their strength of cultivating martial arts would decrease.
It is always a contradictory process.
For these reasons, some of the palace eunuchs made rapid progress as they developed martial arts. This was because they no longer had any ber desires, and their energies would be locked into their bodies and converted into true power and essence.
Lin Ming was aware of this reason, and did not persist in the Pass of Desire. After all, from ancient times to the present, there had never been a martial artist who did not even have a small flaw in their heart of martial arts.

As he meditated peacefully on the sea jade platform, Lin Ming twisted the 'True Primal Chaos Formula' and quickly entered into a state of refined martial intent. His bonds turned unconscious, and the true essence within Lin Ming's body began to circulate based on his own instincts. His speed began to run faster and faster, moving in increasingly perfect lines.
Lin Ming observed from the perspective of an outsider. He felt that when true essence flowed in his body, it was also much faster than before!
Lin Ming was happy to be described. Due to the improvement in his heart of martial arts, his refined martial intent had also risen in level, and his cultivation speed was further enhanced. Like this, he would not be too far away from achieving Small Success of the second level 'True Primal Chaos Formula'.
With one breath, Lin Ming let his true essence revolve by itself for three hours. Finally, Lin Ming opened his eyes. It's getting late. He suddenly recalled the Crown Prince's invitation, so he lit up the sound transmitting talisman and sent it to Muyi …

Sky Fortune City, Crown Prince Palace
At this moment, the sun had just set, and the front door of the Crown Prince's palace was happily covered with decorations. The flow of luxurious horse carriages had formed a long line. All the celebrities and important figures of Sky Fortune City had gathered in their beautiful clothes in the Crown Prince's palace. The floor was covered with hundreds of meters of red carpets, and there were also hundreds of beautiful maids who brought good food, drinks, and fruits that they were among the many visitors. Beautiful and fun music flows in every corner of every hall.
Today, Crown Prince Yang Lin had organized a grand banquet in his palace. Although the Crown Prince said that this passage was just a simple congregation, all those with an intelligent view knew that this banquet and its political significance. This was because the main guest of this banquet was the rising star Lin Ming, who was in the limelight of all Sky Fortune City.
For this banquet, the Crown Prince's palace had made careful preparations and cleanup. The garden was refurbished, and the blue stone tile floor was clean as if it had just been cleaned. It was bright and interesting. The palace has also filled the fountain springs with crystal clear water. The blue water sparkled under the moonlight as it lifted; it was truly beautiful.
"The South Martial Marquis has arrived!" As soon as the preacher announced this, a fat middle-aged man wearing a brocade dress walked into the main hall of the Crown Prince's palace with his entourage.
Although this man looked bloated and fat, his steps were steady and his breathing was balanced. His lazy gaze occasionally let out a feeling that made the hearts of the people watching him flutter.
This middle-aged man was one of the ten great generals of the Sky Fortune Kingdom, the Southern Military Marquis. The Sky Fortune Kingdom had several dozen generals in total. However, those who had true power and authority within their grasp, and also possessed incredible prestige and fame within the army, were only ten people. Ten of these men were given the title of nobility. The Southern Martial Marquis was the youngest of these ten. This year, he is 69 years old.

Ten of these men were given the title of nobility. The Southern Martial Marquis was the youngest of these ten. This year, he is 69 years old.
"Southern Martial Marquis, he's coming too?"
Yang Lin heard this announcement and felt a surge of immense happiness in his heart! Although he had sent an invitation to the Southern Martial Marquis, it was actually just a good show of etiquette; he actually did not believe that the Southern Martial Marquis would appear.
Although Yang Lin was the Crown Prince in name, but as an official, his strength and influence was far inferior to the Tenth Prince Yang Zhen.
When the old emperor died and the throne would change, it was unknown who would fall to the throne. This is a critical time when people will choose who to support. If they choose the right person, their life will be filled with wealth and lifelong success. But with the wrong people, they will crash into the abyss and go beyond redemption.
However, the true attitude of those people was elusive. The two princes mostly had trusted subordinates of their own, or like Zhu Yan and had been tightly bound to the Tenth Prince by their families. Most others already have enough status to avoid this conflict and adopt a moderate approach.
They had quickly improved their careers and did not need to take part in a throne-changing game to increase their wealth. To take a moderate and impartial stance on any side is the most reasonable choice. No matter who came out on top, their status would not be affected.
Military especially so. Since ancient times, if the military intervened in the battle for the throne, then it would be a very sensitive matter. Therefore the ten great generals usually did not attend the banquet held by the prince. This was because there would be spies at the banquet who would report it.
Although the Tenth Prince did not consider that all who attended the banquet were part of the Crown Prince, he would remember these people. In the future, if he won the fight and usurped the throne, even if these people did not intervene, he would not believe them after he ascended the throne. There were a limited number of positions to be the retainer of the emperor realm. The number of talents and geniuses was limitless. Who would not entrust this heavy responsibility to their trusted subordinates?
Hence, that Southern Martial Marquis had come today, was truly a pleasant surprise for Yang Lin.
However the Crown Prince knew that the reason the Southern Martial Marquis came today was mostly because of Lin Ming. He wanted to meet Lin Ming and get to know him. The Southern Martial Marquis had also been a disciple of the Seven Profound Martial House. When he was young, he was also known as a martial bean. He naturally wanted to know someone like Lin Ming.
"This Lin Ming, he is immature and yet possesses a strong attraction. If he was willing to help me, my succession to the throne would be much smoother. ”
