Chapter 635: Forbidden Ancient Formation

Lin Mu stared at the bright light ball.

Xuanhu Jiandan?

He had never heard of such a thing.

Is it a magic weapon, a demon beast, or some kind of spirit?

What is its origin?

Why is it so powerful?

All kinds of questions lingered in his mind, making him very puzzled.

The angry voice of the bright light ball came: "You don't even know Xuanhu Jiandan?"

Lin Mu nodded repeatedly and said seriously: "I have never heard of it."

"Time is fleeting, vicissitudes change, tens of thousands of years have passed, and no one even remembers my Xuanhu Jiandan." The bright light ball sighed, with an inexplicable sadness in his voice.

"Which powerful senior are you?" Lin Mu asked when he saw his sad tone.

"Who told you I was a human?" The bright light ball flickered continuously, "I told you, I am Xuanhu Jiandan."

"Tell me about your origins." Lin Mu had to say.

He could see that Xuanhu Jiandan was very powerful. If he could really subdue him, he would have more confidence in this world of vicissitudes. But he didn't dare to take it lightly. What if Xuanhu Jiandan was not a good person and had ulterior motives? He would be letting a tiger go back to the mountain, and he would be an accomplice to the tiger, harming others and himself.

"I am a spirit, a spirit with a conscience." Xuanhu Jiandan said.

"Spirit?" Lin Mu suddenly realized that this was not much different from his guess, but he immediately asked in confusion, "Conscience?"

This Dijian Mountain Range has become a dangerous place. It is difficult for cultivators to survive when they come here, even those in the Return to Void Stage. Is this a spirit with a conscience?

What would it be like if there was no conscience?

"You don't believe it?" Xuanhu Jiandan said hurriedly, "Have you ever heard of a saying, called Xuanhu Jishi, Jiandan Qinxin?"

"Xuanhu Jishi, Jiandan Qinxin." Lin Mu suddenly realized, and then said strangely, "This saying means that a person is extremely kind and compassionate, saving people from danger. Although you are called Xuanhu Jiandan, what good things have you done? Instead, you have killed many cultivators, right?"

"I have also saved many people!" Xuanhu Jiandan said, "You don't know anything, so don't rush to draw conclusions, okay? I am going to be wronged to death by you!"

Lin Mu's face stagnated, and then he said calmly: "Then I will listen attentively and would like to hear the details."

He wanted to see what Xuanhu Jiandan was capable of and how kind he was.

He is so bad at deceiving people!

"You sword cultivators are all about purity. When you are practicing swords, if the sword energy or sword intent is mixed, your strength will be greatly reduced. At certain critical moments, mixed sword intent may even cause people to go astray." Xuanhu Jiandan said proudly, "And I can absorb the mixed sword intent of sword cultivators, making their sword intent purer and avoiding the risk of going astray."

"You can absorb mixed sword energy and avoid the risk of going astray?" Lin Mu was suddenly shocked.

"More than that." Xuanhu Jiandan said, "If a sword cultivator simply practices, it is very easy for the sword intent to backfire on him. For example, if you cultivate the killing sword intent, if the sword intent backfires on you, you will be invaded by the killing intent and become possessed."

Lin Mu was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He hurriedly said, "Can you solve this problem?"

"Of course I can." Xuanhu Jiandan said, "In your case, it's just that your state of mind is not in line with the realm of sword intent. It's difficult to control such a powerful sword intent, but you didn't vent it in time, so the sword intent slowly invaded yourself, and it was easy to become possessed."

"If I'm here, when you feel it's difficult to control the sword intent, just chop me hard, vent the sword intent that is not under your control, and there will be no sword intent attacking you." Xuanhu Jiandan laughed.

"Chop you hard?" Lin Mu said in surprise.

"I am Xuanhu Jiandan, so of course you chopped me!" Xuanhu Jiandan immediately reacted, "I almost forgot that you don't know me. Let me tell you this, I am actually a piece of stone. At the beginning, I was used by low-level sword practitioners to practice swords. After being chopped tens of millions of times, I gradually gained a little intelligence and was able to absorb mixed sword energy. As I slowly grew up, I was able to absorb mixed sword intents. Later, I forced myself to integrate the various sword intents I absorbed and comprehended the Frozen Sword Domain. Just when I wanted to make great plans, suddenly, the Cangsang Realm changed, and I was sealed here."

"You, a piece of stone, can make it to this day?" Lin Mu was completely stunned.

He used to think that he was also a peerless genius. He comprehended the sword domain in the Nascent Soul stage, which was something that ordinary people dared not even think about.

But now, after listening to Xuanhu Jiandan's struggle history, he was completely convinced.

A piece of stone can also emit dazzling light, as bright as stars!

"Then do you have a way to solve my situation where I have been invaded by murderous intent?" Lin Mu asked.

"I am just a stone. I can only prevent you from becoming a demon. If you have become a demon, I will definitely not be able to save you." Xuanhu Jiandan looked at Lin Mu and said, "But you can still be saved now."

Lin Mu saw the light and asked hurriedly, "How can I save you?"

"From now on, you should work hard to improve your state of mind. You have already comprehended the sword domain. It is very difficult to perfectly control such a powerful killing sword domain." Xuanhu Jiandan said, "But you can improve slowly. Whenever you feel out of control and your sword will is agitated, you can pour this extra killing sword will on me, and the killing will will no longer attack you. Over time, you will be able to slowly control this killing sword domain."

So that's it.

Lin Mu suddenly realized.

"I don't know how many sword cultivators have tempered their sword energy and sword will with my help, reaching an astonishing level. One person even comprehended the sword domain and became famous all over the world." Xuanhu Jiandan said proudly, "All sword cultivators want to practice with me for a while. I don't know how many people I have helped."

"In that case, you are also a spiritual body with conscience!" Lin Mu nodded and affirmed.

Then, he reacted and hurriedly asked: "If that's the case, why do you still want to harm people?"

He believed Xuanhu Jiandan's words before, but this place is a dangerous place after all. He didn't know how many people died here. He couldn't believe Xuanhu Jiandan's words.

"What do you mean by harming people?" Xuanhu Jiandan said, "After all, I am also a spirit body now. I am trapped here. No cultivators come to chop me. I can't absorb sword energy and sword intent. Seeing my strength gradually draining away, I don't want to sit and wait for death, so I can only absorb the sword energy and sword intent of the passing cultivators!"

"In fact, my original intention was not to kill people, but to beat them to the punch and release sword intent. The more sword intent they release, the more I can absorb and the more likely I am to survive." Xuanhu Jiandan said, "There are very few cultivators passing by here, so I cherish every one of them and try to squeeze them. Some people can't hold on and die, and many people have strong perseverance and survive."

"What's more, I don't do this to every cultivator who passes by. For those cultivators who are too weak, the sword energy I absorb is not as much as the amount I release. It's not worth it. It's not worth it at all." Xuanhu Jiandan said as a matter of course.

Lin Mu was silent for a while.

What Xuanhu Jiandan said makes sense.

Humans and demons have different paths. Xuanhu Jiandan absorbed the sword energy of the passing cultivators for his own life. There is nothing wrong with this. Just like when ordinary people are hungry, they eat chicken, duck, fish and meat.

In Xuanhu Jiandan's eyes, these past sword cultivators are chicken, duck, fish and meat that can fill their stomachs.

However, if he saves Xuanhu Jiandan, with such an extremely dangerous existence, can he cope with it?

Xuanhu Jiandan is too powerful. He can even comprehend the sword domain by himself. Many genius sword cultivators are far inferior to him.

It is really shocking and unbelievable that such a piece of stone can achieve such an achievement today.

"Although what you said is true, if I save you, it is tantamount to helping the tiger. You are so powerful. If you go out and do bad things, I can't stop you!" Lin Mu said vigilantly.

"You saved me, what bad things can I do?" Xuanhu Jiandan said, "As long as I can go out, I don't know how many strong people will practice with me, and I don't need to absorb the sword energy myself."

Lin Mu thought about it and it was indeed the case.

I wonder how many people will be crazy about this rare treasure. It can temper the sword energy and sword intent, and can also prevent people from going crazy. Xuanhu Jiandan itself has strong strength and is a very powerful helper.

"Now that you say that, I have to think about it carefully." Lin Mu suddenly became alert, "I saved you, and you can get along anywhere. What benefit can I get? According to your style of doing things, it is normal to cross the river and burn the bridge."

Xuanhu Jiandan can prevent people from going crazy, and its own strength is also very strong. He is already tempted.

But if he saves Xuanhu Jiandan, it is very likely that his efforts will be in vain and he will not get any benefit.

If he is not careful, Xuanhu Jiandan may turn against him in order to absorb the powerful sword intent!

Don't act rashly!

Xuanhu Jiandan was immediately anxious and said: "This forbidden ancient formation that seals me is extremely powerful. You can't break it with your own strength. We must work together inside and outside to have hope. We just met and are not familiar with each other. There is no tacit understanding when we join hands. If I want to get out, I can only recognize you as my master and make a contract with you. In this way, we can communicate with each other, cooperate closely, and exert the strongest strength!"

"Are you willing to recognize me as your master?" Lin Mu looked at Xuanhu Jiandan and was surprised.

A piece of stone can comprehend the sword domain. The arrogance of this stone is absolutely unparalleled and no one will obey!

How can I be willing to let him be my master?

"Although you look a little weak now, you still have good potential." Xuanhu Jiandan said, "Following you, I won't be in such a bad situation in the future."

Lin Mu shook his head and said, "You didn't tell the truth. Since you are not sincere, I will leave now!"

"No, no, don't!" Xuanhu Jiandan said hurriedly, "Don't leave, I said it. I have been sealed here for tens of thousands of years. During these tens of thousands of years, no one came to talk to me, and I couldn't move. I could only watch time slowly pass by in the boundless loneliness. There is no end and no limit. This feeling is extremely desperate, and it is simply worse than death!"

"A piece of stone also understands what loneliness is?" Lin Mu looked surprised.

"To be honest, what I yearn for is freedom. No matter how powerful a person is, I don't want to recognize him as my master, not to mention that you are not that powerful." Xuanhu Jiandan sighed, "But I really don't want to live like this anymore. I can only say that you are lucky and you are lucky."

"No one can make me surrender." Xuanhu Jiandan said dejectedly, "It is time that defeated me."
