"Since you have joined my Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect, there is no need to continue cultivating that technique you were using before."

Dan Qingzi's voice once again sounded out in Chen Heng's mind.

​​

A strange wave of information flooded into Chen Heng's mind and imprinted itself there as if he had memorized it countless times. It was incredibly clear, and there was no way for him to forget it.

"This is our sect's Ten Thousand Spirit Foundation Technique, which you can cultivate to build your foundation. Combined with spirit materials, it will only take you three months to complete Foundation Building. This is the key to beginning your path to cultivation."

His voice sounded out as he began to earnestly explain it to Chen Heng.

In the world of cultivating, Foundation Building was one's foundation, and it was one of the biggest factors in determining one's strength.

One could have countless magic techniques and divine abilities, but one could only have one Foundation.

For example, the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect's disciples all had a Ten Thousand Spirit Foundation.

If they did not have a Ten Thousand Spirit Foundation, not only would it hinder their future progress, but they would also not be acknowledged by the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect.

According to Dan Qingzi, if Chen Heng wanted to go to the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect in the future and receive its acknowledgement, he had to first build a Ten Thousand Spirit Foundation.

Otherwise, he might be listed on the kill list for stealing secret techniques and would be hunted down.

"I understand," Chen Heng nodded with a serious expression.

In actuality, he did not mind much if he could not enter the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect.

However, from Dan Qingzi's attitude, it seemed that if he did not cultivate this Ten Thousand Spirit Foundation Technique and build a Ten Thousand Spirit Foundation, Dan Qingzi might turn against him.

This was not what Chen Heng wanted.

In order to avoid this result, he decided to just go along with Dan Qingzi.

As for explaining this to Song Qi, he would not have to worry too much.

A Foundation was incredibly personal, and one would not usually reveal it.

The Foundations from different Foundation Techniques were different, and as long as one did not use a special ability to check, one would not be able to tell.

Even though Song Qi had given Chen Heng a Bright Moon Foundation Technique, as long as Chen Heng did not tell Song Qi about this, he would not know about just how Chen Heng had established his Foundation.

After passing the Ten Thousand Spirit Foundation Technique to Chen Heng, Dan Qingzi's voice disappeared.

It seemed that he had used much strength and had gone into hibernation mode.

Looks like my situation is becoming more and more dangerous.

Sensing that Dan Qingzi's consciousness had fallen into hibernation, Chen Heng shook his head.

With Song Qi, someone who had likely been possessed by his side, he now also had an ancient soul with him.

Neither of them were simple characters, nor were their intentions clear.

Even though it looked like Dan Qingzi and Song Qi did not have any ill-intent for now, Chen Heng could not fully trust them.

Putting one's future at the hands of others' whims was not very responsible behavior, and Chen Heng would not do this.

The worst case scenario is that Song Qi is just using me for now and might betray me at some point.

Standing there, Chen Heng inwardly shook his head as he thought to himself, That Dan Qingzi might not be completely sincere either and might be plotting something. Who knows if he might possess me at any moment. My situation really is becoming more dangerous.

However, despite this, Chen Heng did not mind too much.

After all, this was not his main body, and even if the worst case scenario unfolded, he would just die in the simulation and lose 500 Points.

With how many Points he had, he could tolerate this loss.

As such, it did not matter too much if he died or not.

Instead, he felt somewhat excited.

Even though there was hidden danger, both Song Qi and Dan Qingzi seemed like major figures.

One was an old monster who had possessed Song Qi, and the other was an old monster who had not died after thousands of years.

There was much to be gained from both of them.

Putting aside everything else, just the secret techniques and understanding towards this world, as well as their experience in cultivation, were massive treasure troves.

If he could just obtain a bit of what they knew, he would be able to make back his Points.

As for everything else, it did not matter too much.

Thinking to there, he felt quite optimistic.

"It's a pity…"

By the side, Song Qi spoke, "It's a pity that we don't have things that can allow us to take everything here out."

He looked at the precious swords forged from essence gold with a look of reluctance on his face.

All of them were high-class treasures and each of them had equivalent worth to a city.

If they had spatial bags, they would be able to take all of this away.

However, it was a pity that even Enlightened Masters might not have treasures like spatial bags, let alone them.

Even in the previous world, Song Qi did not have such a thing and had only heard of it.

"It's fine."

Looking at Song Qi, Chen Heng came back to his senses and said, "Your subordinate can come back a few times and take these things away bit by bit."

"Very well," Song Qi nodded and continued onwards.

"They're just measly essence gold swords, what are you getting so worked up about…" Dan Qingzi's voice sounded out within Chen Heng's mind.

"There are countless of these things within my Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect; they're not rare at all," he said disdainfully.

Chen Heng was not very surprised by Dan Qingzi's appearance and just asked, "Since they're not rare, what is this place for?"

In that case, why were there so many here?

"These were prepared for sword slaves," Dan Qingzi's voice sounded out, "Within the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect, only the lowest-grade of sword slaves would use these things. As for actual disciples, they all use magic tools."

Magic tools… Chen Heng thought to himself.

It seemed that the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect was much grander than he had thought.

To them, even essence gold swords, which were worth cities in the outer world, were just the lowest grade of weapon to them.

From Dan Qingzi's words, he had obtained some new information.

"So cultivators use magic tools…"

Chen Heng thought to himself before asking, "Are there magic tools deeper inside?"

"Naturally."

Dan Qingzi's voice sounded out, "But there are not too many. This place is mainly used to store all kinds of spirit materials."

Chen Heng nodded and after thinking for a moment, he told Dan Qingzi about the changes in Song Qi.

"His personality completely changed in a single night and he even took out a Foundation Technique?"

Hearing Chen Heng's words, Dan Qingzi sounded quite surprised, "This is quite strange. I have heard that some cultivators can possess others' bodies and come back to life…"

Hearing this, Chen Heng asked, "Is this actually possible?"

"It's not very likely," Dan Qingzi said as he shook his head, "Powerful cultivators can indeed do something like this, but it is incredibly difficult and requires many conditions to be fulfilled. From what you told me, he doesn't seem to fulfil those conditions. However, this might not necessarily be the case."

He thought for a moment before saying hesitatingly, "Some things in this world are quite mystical. Sometimes, even weak cultivators might be able to do similar things after obtaining some kind of opportunity. As such, it would not be too strange if something like this happened to him."

Hearing Dan Qingzi's answer, Chen Heng inwardly shook his head.

Dan Qingzi's answer did not tell him much, but at least he confirmed that possession indeed existed in this world.
