Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu stopped in his tracks upon hearing senior Xukong's words.

"Now that your filial duty is complete, you can now focus on your cultivation. As for the test that I gave you, you can complete it whenever you can, as it seems like your target has disappeared." Xukong spoke.

Lin Mu nodded inwardly and agreed with senior Xukong's words. After paying his respects to his parents and ancestors, he was indeed feeling much lighter than before. An invisible burden was lifted from his mind, making him feel free.

Lin Mu returned to his house and sat down in his room. Sitting down, he started his cultivation session. Chanting the severing heart sutra emptied his emotions, allowing him to sense things he would not be able to normally.

Lin Mu could observe the difference in his sensitivity to spirit qi. It had increased by a little bit once again. He understood that the reason for it was the fulfillment of his filial duty, but he could not understand why.

'Is this perhaps why the disciples of the cultivation sects are ordered to sever their ties to the secular world when entering the sects.' Lin Mu muttered to himself.

Senior Xukong seemed to have heard his muttering, as he spoke in his mind.

"You are correct in this aspect. The secular ties of a cultivator weigh down on their mind, dampening the progress of their cultivation. Severing them is a necessity in order to be eligible to walk on the myriad paths of the Grand Dao." Xukong explained.

Lin Mu was deeply affected by senior Xukong's words. It was as if there was something inside him that was resonating with his thoughts. He then thought about the feeling of liberation he experienced after fulfilling his filial duty and linked it with senior Xukong's words.

Lin Mu felt that the feeling of liberation was a little similar to something he had felt before. Unknowingly as he went on this train of thought, he had stopped chanting the severing heart sutra. Instead of it, he had started chanting the calming heart sutra.

What Lin Mu grasped now was the tranquillity offered by the calming heart sutra. He correlated it with the liberating feeling and the calmness that occurred after that. Hours went by as Lin Mu pondered on his thoughts.
