I have a pure heart, and no sword of life and death.

Scenes flashed through Li Xijun's mind:

Faced with the heavy shackles of gambling loans, and the desperate situation of potentially becoming cannon fodder at any time and facing life and death;

I heard that Zhou Yibai, a so-called "friend," casually distanced himself from her.

Witnessing the condescending contempt of Zhou Shenghao and Liu Yunmeng from their high-ranking private room on the second floor;

He accepted the timely financial assistance from martial arts teacher Zhang Haifeng.

Upon hearing Yu Xiangyang recount the disaster in Tianjin and how the people, displaced, decided to donate money;

Confronting covetousness and malice, he committed his first murder, ending the lives of Deng Gao and Su Qiuzhen;

After displaying his martial arts talent, he suddenly realized that everyone around him in the school's martial arts gym was a "kind and good person";

Various encounters with the purple-haired girl subtly foster ambiguous feelings of youthful intimacy;

On the stage of the faculty and student assembly, he was the center of attention, enjoying unparalleled prestige...

"At that moment, what was my mindset when I responded?"

Li Xijun gazes at "me" in the picture, questioning her true self.

"I seem to have never shown any extra emotions; I just calmly accepted it all."

Is it arrogance at play?

"Or is it due to a 'normal' mindset?"

As he pondered, Li Xijun seemed to have some understanding, but it was like looking at flowers through a fog, and he couldn't quite grasp it.

In the blink of an eye,

Two recent scenes suddenly became clear:

He narrowly escaped death, narrowly avoiding being murdered and robbed, his life hanging by a thread;

They fled desperately into the icy river, acutely aware of their own weakness and powerlessness.

In his quest for a breakthrough, he faced the Thunder Saint's Outer Realm Blade Technique head-on. The thunderous roar shattered all thoughts and consciousness, revealing the boundless and unparalleled power of heaven and earth, and the overwhelming and unstoppable force of the Outer Realm. Yet, he himself was as insignificant as a floating object!

"At this moment, how should I conduct myself?" Li Xijun then questioned himself.

"Should we continue to uphold that 'arrogance' of a time traveler?"

"Is it still the so-called 'normal mindset' that we haven't yet figured out?"

"No! That's not the case at all!"

Li Xijun retraced his past lives, and the answer became clear:

"I can accept both the past contempt and kindness with equanimity."

"I can face the fragility on the edge of life and death, and the powerlessness before the might of heaven and earth."

"I can face success or failure, life or death, with equanimity and naturalness, remaining true to my conscience and treating others with sincerity!"

A seed takes root and sprouts in the deepest part of the heart at this moment.

"In my past life, when I was battling in the stock market, I was able to honestly accept the gains and losses in money, firmly execute my decisions in accordance with my knowledge and actions, and sincerely accept success and failure."

"Today, as I ascend the mountain of martial arts, even knowing the impermanence of the world, the treacherous nature of humanity, and the unpredictability of fate, I still openly accept all the dangers and tribulations along the way, resolutely moving forward with unwavering resolve. My sincere heart will never change, even in death!"

A pure, passionate, open, and sincere heart is born from one's true self.

Li Xijun felt as if he had experienced something, shed something, as if he had been reborn, as if he had undergone a baptism, and his heart was filled with great joy, great perseverance, great courage, and great freedom.

The soul, which had suffered subtle, almost imperceptible damage from the Thunderclap Strike in that outdoor scene, is now recovering in a natural, complete state.

A sense of peace, joy, courage, and decisiveness naturally arose in his mind, nourishing his spirit.

I don't know how much time has passed.

He maintained this state until the warm winter sun rose again, melting the frost outside the window.

"Tick-tock!"

It looked like a drop of water falling into a calm lake.

The divine soul power that was originally hidden deep within the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows naturally broke through everything and appeared in the material world.

[Your visualization practice of the "Twenty-Four White Lotus Crossing the Netherworld" has improved from Proficiency (100%) to Master (7%).]

[Your Spirit Refinement System: Meditation Realm, increased from 0% to 1% proficiency.]

Your mental level has increased from 20.0 to 20.1.

As messages appeared, Li Xijun, who had finally broken through to the Forgetfulness Realm, felt a myriad of thoughts swirling in his mind, which coalesced into a poem:

"A single thought can determine whether one rises or falls in the sea of ​​calamity."

The lamp of the heart never goes out, illuminating the vast sky.

I'll calmly accept all the cold stares and indifference.

Standing atop a towering, perilous peak, treading upon a white lotus.

The lightning strikes, though seemingly insignificant, reveal the minuscule nature of existence.

The wave swallows the floating foam, proving weakness and frailty.

Even if this body turns to dust,

A loyal heart shines like the sun for eternity.

After a soft recitation,

Li Xijun slowly opened her eyes.

The cosmic brilliance flowing through his irises seemed almost tangible, captivating the viewer.

At the same time, he also felt that every single item in his room was vividly presented in his mind.

As he tried to extend it, in just a short while, everything in the entire neighborhood was covered by his mental power.

This is much more intuitive and easier to use than a drone.

at the same time,

As soon as he had a thought, this spiritual power gathered within him.

Li Xijun could see his own skin, muscles, bones, blood vessels, internal organs, and even bone marrow with unparalleled clarity.

"In this way, I will be able to cleanse my internal organs with unparalleled precision, and even use my inner energy to cleanse my marrow in the future, without making the slightest mistake!"

"Moreover, after cultivating one's mind in the state of forgetting oneself, one's mind will never regress, and the influence of demonic flesh and blood will be reduced. I can now also view that page of sword technique that contains the terrifying meaning of death."

"At the same time, I am finally qualified to receive Li Boyan's teachings, have the opportunity to obtain the supreme contemplation method of the fusion of the three religions, and observe the Ninth Princess up close. No matter how good the flesh and blood of a dragon is, it cannot compare to the charm of a humanoid dragon."

"Of course, most importantly, after I advanced to the Forgetfulness Realm, the middle-aged Taoist priest from the Wusheng Temple, who was at the same level, could no longer use his spiritual power to scan and control me."

"I am now qualified for revenge!"

"I wonder if the other party might possess the secret manual of the advanced concept of the 'Emptiness View of the Unborn Savior Mother'."

Thinking about this, Li Xijun shook his head.

Previously, Su Qiuzhen had achieved minor success in concentrating his mind, but he still needed to review the visualization techniques day and night. It was acceptable for him to carry a medium-level copy of "Twenty-Four White Lotus Crossing the Netherworld" with him.

However, the advanced concept of "The Emptiness View of the Mother of No Birth and Salvation" is of great importance to the inheritance of the entire Wusheng Taoist Temple. It is highly likely that it is either on the abbot or hidden in some important place in the temple.

Forget about such good fortune. Just honestly kill people and grab a magic weapon-level flying sword while you're at it.

As for the advanced visualization techniques that one should try to collect starting from the Silent Meditation Realm, one can first advance to the Transcendent Realm after mastering Silent Meditation, and then search for them.

With this in mind, Li Xijun had an idea.

I plan to go see Su Nianying tomorrow to see if I can use her location shooting privileges to buy a laser sniper rifle.

While the ability of a cultivator in the Meditation Realm to project their spiritual power for scanning is indeed powerful...

However, if one has reached the Forgetfulness Realm and possesses a laser weapon capable of killing a martial artist with intent, there is a very high probability that one can kill them.

"Very good. Now that you have just broken through, your mind is at its strongest in the Sitting in Oblivion Realm. Let me take a good look at the sword technique given to me by Lord Boyan."

Li Xijun, who was about to acquire a magical flying sword, eagerly took out the brass book page.

After resisting the murderous intent emanating from it with his own "pure heart,"

I finally saw the name of this page of sword techniques with my own eyes............
