How to factory reset my old iPnone 6Max without damaging the content and cloud content of my iPnone X

How to reset my old iPnone 6Max without damaging the content and cloud content of my iPnone X, which I currently use.

I would like to sell my iPhone 6Plus, but I can't erase its content, as I'm afraid, that action could damage the iCloud content, my iPhone X currently uses.

When I try to erase all the content of the iPhone 6Plus, it requires an ID identification. If I enter my Apple ID, will that erasure damage the iCloud settings and information, my new iPone X uses?

Generally, how could I safely reset my iPhone 6Plus?

Thank you.

Sell or give away your iPhone

Before you sell or give away your iPhone, see the Apple Support article What to do before you sell or give away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, and be sure to perform the following tasks:

If you paired an Apple Watch with your iPhone, unpair your Apple Watch. (See the Apple Support article Unpair and erase your Apple Watch.)
Back up iPhone. If you replace one iPhone with another, you can use the setup assistant to restore the backup to your new iPhone.
Erase all content and settings that contain personal information. If you previously turned on Find My for your iPhone, Activation Lock is removed when you erase iPhone, making it ready for a new owner.
