Chapter 7

"Right! Xin, copy down the inheritance information, to be passed on. This is the rule of our generations of inheritance!"

Wushi Ling realized he had lost his composure and quickly composed himself before giving instructions.

"Okay!"

Wu Yuanxin responded readily. Seeing that his father had no intention of leaving, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Now?"

"Um! Now, is there any problem? Don't worry, there's no need to be concerned about me. It's fine to do it a bit later."

Wushi Ling understood his son's surprise and responded with a stiff face.

The ones who were anxious were not Wushi Ling, but the old ancestors who were secretly watching!

Wu Yuanxin looked deeply at Wushi Ling and did not dwell on the issue of urgency. His face showed helplessness and difficulty as he said with a bitter smile, "It's not that I don't want to, but there seems to be a mysterious seal that obscures the specific inheritance information. I can only know the specific content of the corresponding level. Now, there's only the first realm, the physical cultivation and the mental cultivation. I have a general idea of the information of other realms, but I can't explain it clearly, let alone know the specific content!"

"Hmm?"

Wushi Ling's face darkened, and he frowned in deep thought. However, he understood his son's explanation. Information that was too profound was indeed difficult to describe in detail!

The clan's "Wushen Heart Sutra" in three parts was already so vast and profound, let alone the entire Wushen inheritance!

A good inheritance should gradually release information at the corresponding levels, rather than pouring everything in, which could affect the inheritor's state of mind!

Seeing how quickly Wu Yuanxin's consciousness had awakened, it seemed he hadn't been impacted by the inheritance information, which was more relaxed than those who could only endure for a few breaths or dozens of breaths. This was indeed somewhat unreasonable.

Even the fifth-generation ancestor, Wushen Gui, had sat in meditation for several days and nights before digesting the inheritance in his mind and regaining his clear consciousness!

Thinking of this, Wushi Ling couldn't hide his disappointment and said, "Just copy down what you know according to the clan rules. Write down as much as you can, and don't worry about the rest!"

The most disappointed were definitely the old ancestors who were secretly watching. After all, at their level, the lowest was the initial stage of spirit cultivation, and advancing even a step was extremely difficult. They were certainly more concerned about the subsequent information of the Wushen inheritance.

However, asking a physical cultivator to describe the profound principles of mental cultivation and spirit cultivation and above was indeed too much to ask, and it was unreliable!

Unfortunately, most of the Wu clan's old ancestors had followed the path of physical cultivation. If they had a matching method of mental cultivation, it would definitely be easier to progress, and the value would be immeasurable. This would be a great contribution and merit.

It was easy to imagine that if Wu Yuanxin could provide more inheritance information, the strength of the Wu clan's old ancestors would definitely increase significantly!

The path of both physical and mental cultivation has only three simple realms: physical cultivation is body, qi, and spirit; mental cultivation is mind, heart, and dan. In the end, they all aim to form a golden core, with only the difference between physical and mental golden cores!

In simple terms, physical cultivation focuses on the body, with strength in the lower dantian; mental cultivation focuses on the mind, with strength in the upper dantian. The methods are different, but they ultimately converge, like the yin and yang poles!

It's hard to say who is stronger, but the number of mental cultivators is much fewer than physical cultivators, and the difficulty of cultivation is much greater.

"Um!" Wu Yuanxin responded with a sense of guilt.

Putting aside the feelings of his father Wushi Ling and other close relatives, Wu Yuanxin had received such rare and precious inheritance from the Wu clan, which seemed to have some unknown special significance. Wu Yuanxin really wanted to give back to the Wu clan, which was the most basic sense of gratitude.

There is never love or hate without cause, nor is there a given right to give and receive.

Wu Yuanxin also wanted to record the inheritance for the clan!

Unfortunately, this inheritance method was somewhat mysterious and profound. It wasn't that Wu Yuanxin didn't want to record everything; he simply didn't know the specific information, as if it was obscured by something!

"Crack..."

At this moment, a sound of a hard object breaking was heard clearly in the silent night, causing Wushi Ling and his son to jump in their hearts.

The thousand-armed Wushen statue placed on the bed suddenly shattered completely, turning into a pile of tiny fragments...

"Ah?!"

Wushi Ling and his son's expressions stiffened simultaneously, their mouths wide open. Their faces turned as white as paper, with a sense of panic as if a great disaster was imminent!

"What's going on? How is this possible? No... No..."

Wushi Ling's body trembled, his face ashen, and he muttered in a trembling voice. His hands trembled as he reached out, as if trying to save the shattered statue, with a sense of horror and panic as if the world was about to collapse...

Wu Yuanxin's mind was a mess. Not being able to repay the Wu clan equally made him feel very guilty and ashamed. Now, he had even destroyed the most important inheritance statue of the Wu clan.

How could he explain this to the Wu clan?

How could he explain this to his father Wushi Ling?

Destroying the inheritance statue, even if Wushi Ling was the clan leader, or even the fifth-generation ancestor Wushen Gui, could not bear such a sin?

"Father..." Wu Yuanxin called out hoarsely.

"Phew..."

To Wu Yuanxin's great surprise, Wushi Ling's face changed several times, and after a moment, he let out a long breath, patting his chest in relief and muttering, "Fortunately! Fortunately..."

"Fortunately?" Wu Yuanxin's eyes widened.

"Such is fate, it's not your fault! Don't think too much, just copy it!" Wushi Ling waved his hand, clearly not wanting to say more.

After speaking, Wushi Ling took off his outer robe and carefully collected the statue fragments, not letting a single piece of debris or dust escape.

Wu Yuanxin was not a person with excessive curiosity. Since Wushi Ling indicated that it was fine and didn't want to say more, there was no need to delve deeper. He could only try his best to record what he knew and make up for it as much as possible!

The physical cultivation part of the inheritance was not much different from the clan's treasure scriptures. It included a set of boxing techniques called "Wuquan," which could better temper the body's skin, flesh, tendons, bones, membranes, blood, marrow, meridians, and organs, and had some connection with the spirit. Despite its simple name, this set of boxing techniques was invaluable, not inferior to heaven-level techniques, and was absolutely the best technique for physical cultivation and foundation building!

There was also a method called "Visualization of the Statue," which belonged to mental cultivation. It was only a few hundred words, but it helped to understand one's martial spirit more quickly, making it easier to condense one's spiritual power, which could then more easily transform into a martial soul or a mental heart, thus making it easier and faster to break through to the next realm! In simpler terms, it was a method for cultivating spiritual power with some mysterious effects.

The thousand arms of the Wushen statue represented a thousand skills, and the aura, temperament, and flavor were even more significant, involving deeper factors such as state of mind, spirit, and enlightenment, which were extremely profound and could only be understood intuitively.

Thinking of this, Wu Yuanxin felt even more guilty. The collapse of the Wushen statue made the visualization more difficult.

More importantly, although the method of mental cultivation was extremely rare and precious, even a powerful ancient clan like the Wu clan had accumulated many methods, including visualization, accumulation, torture, and stimulation. However, there was nothing unique about them. The method of mental cultivation was best at "visualization," and the strength or weakness was only a difference in the object of visualization! Without the Wushen statue, the Wu clan's visualization method was not much stronger than other techniques!

What he could do was to try his best to record the inheritance information, write down his personal views, suggestions, and insights, and finally try his best to depict the Wushen statue.

It had a sacred aura, a grand momentum, a fierce appearance, and carried meanings of dominance, wisdom, perseverance, and resilience.

It was a normal human form but had a thousand arms, each with a different shape, including fists, palms, fingers, knives, swords, spears, axes, hammers, and shields. Just one hand and five fingers could demonstrate so many techniques and weapons. Even the posture, facial features, and smile were deeply meaningful!

Because he wanted to make up for it, Wu Yuanxin was extremely focused, and gradually...

Wu Yuanxin gradually lost himself...

The more he depicted, the more he felt the grandeur and mystery of the Wushen statue, and the deeper his understanding of the Wushen principles became.

Every sense, every posture, every form of the Wushen statue seemed to contain profound martial principles!
