"I'll be troubling you then . " The elder clasped his fist and bowed .
Even though the young man had shown capabilities that far exceeded common geniuses, he still found it hard to believe that the other party could alter the Vitreous Heart Tempering Sutra within such a short period of time .
He had to confirm it with his own eyes .
Having guessed the elder's thoughts, Zhang Xuan waved his hand, and line after line of words formed out of zhenqi slowly appeared in the air .
It was the altered Vitreous Heart Tempering Sutra!
"T-this…"
Upon taking a look, the elder's body stiffened as incredulity crept into his gaze . "With this alteration, the temptations will still appear, but in a progressive manner instead . This will allow those with a weaker state of mind to cultivate the secret art and slowly advance their proficiency…"
He had studied the Vitreous Heart Tempering Sutra for many years, so he knew it inside out . The other party had not altered much of the sutra, but he had managed to change it from its very foundations .
The prowess upon reaching Major Accomplishment had not changed, but the starting point had been lowered instead .
In the past, even the head of the Combat Master Hall would have difficulties cultivating the technique, but now… even an ordinary Ten Men Commander could probably grasp it with ease .
Seeing the elder trembling in agitation, Zhang Xuan smiled .
Admittedly, the Vitreous Heart Tempering Sutra was a hard-to-come-by technique . While it was not of much use to him, he could still impart it to Wang Ying and Liu Yang . It should complement the weaknesses in their state of mind, allowing them to reach even greater heights .
More than that, if all combat masters could cultivate the technique, the overall fighting prowess of the Combat Master Hall could be brought to greater heights .
The events in Qiu Wu Palace had given him deeper respect toward master teachers . This was also why he had accepted Hall Master Xing's request readily .
The elder bowed deeply . "Allow me to thank you on behalf of the entire Combat Master Hall!"
"You are being too polite . We are all master teachers, so it's only right for us to help one another!" Zhang Xuan nodded .
The elder had passed away many years ago, but he had chosen to leave behind his will to pass down his secret art, all in hopes that mankind could strive for greatness . His concern for the future of mankind was truly worthy of respect .
Zhang Xuan's response made the elder nod in approval . Curious, he asked, "Considering your incredible mental resilience, I guess that you must be the newly-elected head of the Heart Division?"
"I'm not…" Zhang Xuan shook his head .
He was only dropping by the Combat Master Hall to help Hall Master Xing . He was not even a combat master, so how could he be a division head?
The elder was taken aback for a moment before realization struck him . "You aren't? Oh, I get it! Your strength must have been a factor limiting you from becoming a division head . After all, the minimum requirement is Primordial Spirit realm while you are only at Saint 1-dan pinnacle . "
Naturally, there was a requirement on one's cultivation before one could be qualified to become a division head .
If they were to just go by the young man's mental resilience, he was definitely the best candidate to become the head of the Heart Division . However, it seemed like his cultivation had hindered him .
Upon 'understanding' what was going on, the elder said, "How about this then? As the founder of the Heart Division, I wield the ultimate control over the Heart Division . I'll give this to you as compensation for resolving my greatest regret . This way, once your cultivation reaches the mark, you'll automatically become the head of the Heart Division . Not even the hall master will be able to question the matter . "
"Thank you for your concern, but it's fine…" Zhang Xuan shook his head .
He was not even interested in becoming a combat master, let alone the head of some Heart Division . Just as he was in the midst of rejecting the other party, he suddenly felt the elder before him sending a thought into his mind . As the thought fused with his mind, he suddenly found himself with perfect knowledge of all the formations in the Heart Division . With this, he had effectively gained full control over all of them .
"Alright . With this, my job is done here . I will be entrusting the Heart Division to your hands . "
The transmission of thought had left the elder's soul fading even more . Even so, there was a satisfied smile on his face .
The reason the elder had persisted for so long was due to his regret in being unable to find a successor whom he was truly satisfied with . Even though the cultivation of the young man before him was a little too low, his capability was truly not one to be underestimated . Under the other party's leadership, he was confident that the Heart Division could be brought to greater heights . With this, he was finally able to put down the baggage in his heart .
"But I…" Seeing the elder's look, Zhang Xuan was deeply conflicted .
While he was still in the midst of finding the words to explain his identity, the elder's soul was visibly growing more and more transparent, and eventually, with a light 'pop', it vanished altogether .
"Jeez!" Seeing that it was already too late for him to say anything, Zhang Xuan shook his head helplessly .
Forget it . I'll just pass on the Vitreous Heart Tempering Sutra to Hall Master Xing and Division Head Liao when I get out and let them deal with the matter . That should be more than enough .
He simply was not interested in becoming a combat master, so he could not possibly become the head of the Heart Division . At the very least, if he could pass on the Vitreous Heart Tempering Sutra to them, they would disseminate it . In a sense, he would be fulfilling the elder's final wishes as well .
Having made up his mind, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief . He took one last look around the room, and after confirming that there was really nothing around that he could temper his mind with, he began walking out with a disappointed look on his face .
However, barely after taking a few steps out of the passageway, he suddenly felt a chilling sensation pounding on his heart, and goosebumps rose all over his skin .
Hu!
Trusting his instincts, he immediately executed his Heaven's Path Divine Art, and his figure vanished from the spot . The next moment, the hands of a cactus struck the place where he had been standing, creating a huge depression in his place .
Hong long!
The cactus did not stop there just because he had missed . The following moment, Zhang Xuan felt the air crushing heavily down on him, threatening to flatten him into a sheet of paper .
