89.You'd better not practice it!

After saying that, Huang Zhiwen made his right hand into a sword finger gesture and continuously tapped on the acupoints on Xu Shan's chest, infusing spiritual power into them. The acupoints that were tapped all had a feeling of swelling. Xu Shan didn't dare to be careless and sat cross-legged again. He circulated his spiritual power according to his previous habit.

Under the circulation of the spiritual power, the acupoints that had been tapped by Huang Zhiwen all erupted with a rush of spiritual power, forming pulses that rushed towards the inheritance of the Immortality Seeking Platform. Under the successive impacts of the spiritual power, the white light quietly shattered.

At the same time that the white light shattered, an inexplicable sword qi spread open in Xu Shan's chest, and then it was released, piercing directly through the wall in front of him.

Huang Zhiwen walked to the side of the wall and stroked the large hole made by the sword qi with an extremely serious expression. Where the sword qi passed, the cut was as smooth as new...

Xu Shan was engrossed in looking inside his body. A jade slip shining with silver light floated quietly in his body, and beside it was a pocket-sized sword-shaped magic tool. A cultivation method for the Foundation Establishment stage flooded into his mind...

After observing for a while, Xu Shan opened his eyes. A semi-transparent long sword appeared in his hand. The sharpness of the sword edge was so intense that even looking directly at it was blinding.

As soon as he held the magic tool, all the distracting thoughts in Xu Shan's mind disappeared, and a feeling of unprecedented calmness and clarity came over him.

Huang Zhiwen stood by the wall and watched as Xu Shan instantly changed from being excited to having an expressionless face. His face gradually turned cold, and he reached out and drew in the air! The magic sword that Xu Shan was holding was already firmly in Huang Zhiwen's hand.

The sword trembled continuously in his palm and struggled restlessly. It was as if a person and a sword were competing with each other! This lasted for a full minute. Then Huang Zhiwen swung it down, and the semi-transparent sword directly sank into the ground.

Xu Shan just stared blankly at Huang Zhiwen's actions. When the sword was taken out of his hand, his spirit became chaotic again, and various emotions welled up in his heart, making him feel rather uncomfortable. That feeling of clarity and calmness was truly wonderful and fascinating.

"Master Huang, you...."

"If I'm not wrong, you should have the complete inheritance in your body. There's also a cultivation method that goes with this sword, right? What's the name of this sword, and what's the cultivation method?" Huang Zhiwen said, looking down at the place where the flying sword had sunk into the ground.

Xu Shan hesitated for a moment. "The Heart-Piercing Sword, the Heart-Piercing Sword Canon."

Huang Zhiwen raised his head and said, "Heart-Piercing... How did you feel when you held the sword just now?"

"I felt calm, with no distracting thoughts at all."

After hearing the answer, Huang Zhiwen pondered for a long time. "Xu Shan, if you trust me, don't practice this sword canon, and don't have too much contact with that sword. This inheritance is more of a disaster than a blessing for you and most people."

Xu Shan asked in surprise and doubt, "Why do you say that, Master Huang?"

This inheritance that countless people pursued seemed to be worthless in Huang Zhiwen's mouth. He had been chased all the way because of this thing, and now someone was telling him that the inheritance was useless. He really couldn't accept it in his heart.

Huang Zhiwen paced and said, "This is a typical cultivation method left over from the ancient times. The ancient cultivators had abundant spiritual energy, but their living environment was very different from today's. They lived extremely difficult lives, and the only purpose of their cultivation was to survive."

"As a result, they could only pursue rapid progress and strive to reach the highest cultivation realm in the shortest time. Because of this, cultivating the Dao heart was even more difficult for ancient cultivators. A large number of them would become paranoid or even go crazy and lose their minds."

"Over time, the ancient cultivators naturally also paid attention to this problem. One faction started to take an unconventional approach. Since an unstable Dao heart could drive people crazy, they simply abandoned the Dao heart and turned themselves into heartless people."

"I have to say, this faction was very successful. Even today, many top sects still retain such an inheritance, and it will only be passed on to the most talented people within the sect. It sounds great, doesn't it? But precisely, these are the most pitiful people."

"The deeper their cultivation power, the more their humanity is stripped away. In the end, they will become heartless, without love or hatred, almost like puppets."

"Cultivators practice the Dao to find their true selves. Finding the true self is the ultimate goal of cultivation, and strength is just a means to roam freely in the world. But too many people are lost in the pursuit of powerful strength, putting the cart before the horse. Without the true self, only an empty shell remains. No matter how powerful they are, it will all be in vain in the end."

After Huang Zhiwen finished speaking, Xu Shan fell silent. If what Huang Zhiwen said was true, he had no way to refute it, and the inheritance of the Immortality Seeking Platform was indeed garbage for him. His ultimate goal was clear: to increase his strength, break through the barriers, and even return to his hometown one day. But becoming a heartless person, what would be the meaning of all this? He was afraid that he would already be lost halfway.

However... The inheritance of the Immortality Seeking Platform was actually completely useless. He really couldn't accept this!

Seeing Xu Shan's reaction, Huang Zhiwen comforted him, "This is ultimately just a wrong path. Although the cultivation method of cutting off emotions and righteousness can improve one's strength quickly and has great power. But as far as I can see, the truly outstanding people in the cultivation world all have distinct personalities and are unrestrained. Such a cultivation method is difficult to reach the peak... If Ye Qingbi were here, she would definitely also persuade you to give up this cultivation method."

"Yeah." Xu Shan responded. "Then the Heart-Piercing Sword Canon and the Heart-Piercing Sword must be very valuable, right?"

Huang Zhiwen was a bit surprised. Xu Shan's reaction could be described as heartless, which was completely different from what he had imagined. Most people who obtained such an inheritance would feel greatly disappointed after learning about the serious consequences of practicing it. Then they would be unwilling to accept it and resolutely choose the wrong path. But Xu Shan didn't seem to have the intention of practicing it at all, and he even seemed to be thinking about selling it for money! He was clearly extremely disappointed just a moment ago, but he had already figured it out immediately?

Huang Zhiwen looked at Xu Shan suspiciously. He didn't know that Xu Shan had indeed figured it out. As a modern person, Xu Shan didn't have as strong a persistent pursuit of cultivation methods as the natives. Moreover, his mindset had changed several times in the face of life-threatening situations, and there was nothing he couldn't give up.

There's always a way out. If this path doesn't work, he can find another one. If there's no good cultivation method, he can buy it! If he can't buy it, he can earn spirit stones, find a way to get spirit crystal essences, and use the Qingyin props to deceive or even rob! There must be a way that suits him. There's really no need to纠结 over this.

Confirming that Xu Shan really wanted to sell the cultivation method, Huang Zhiwen felt a bit admiring and said, "This cultivation method is extremely valuable. People all over the world are eager for it. Even if they know the consequences of practicing it, they will still rush for it! I think the Heart-Piercing Sword should be of the eighth rank of the Earth Rank, and the Heart-Piercing Sword Canon should also be of the eighth rank of the Earth Rank."

"If you sell these two together, it shouldn't be difficult to exchange them for a cultivation method of the same rank. But if you want to break the connection between the inheritance and you without damaging your divine soul, you should reach the Divine Transformation Realm."

"What! Only the eighth rank of the Earth Rank?" Xu Shan was greatly disappointed.

Huang Zhiwen stared at him and said, "What do you mean by 'only the eighth rank of the Earth Rank'? For magic tools above the Earth Rank, there's a huge gap between each rank. Magic tools of the fifth rank and above in the Tianxin Domain are all famous. This is the eighth rank! It can be regarded as a treasure to guard a sect!"

"I thought it was at least of the Heaven Rank or something..."

Huang Zhiwen sneered. "If there were really a cultivation method or magic tool of the Heaven Rank, do you think you could still be alive here with me? For Heaven Rank magic tools, how many people don't even have the chance to see them in their entire lives. I've only seen them twice and haven't even touched them. You have some high hopes there."
