Chapter 209
"Xuan" means profound!
"Xuantian" refers to the northern sky and is also a general term for "Heaven." Su Xuan styled himself the "Xuantian Dao Lord." Such arrogant words, when they reached the ears of the Yin-Yang School members, caused their expressions to change.
Arrogant, truly far too arrogant.
The title "Donghuang Taiyi" has the meaning of "Supreme God of Heaven" in mythology, representing a supreme status. Su Xuan's self-proclaimed title, interpreted differently, meant "Lord of the Heavenly Dao," a title that stood on equal footing with Donghuang Taiyi.
Besides this, the members of the Yin-Yang School also developed some other thoughts.
The main reason was... the style was completely incompatible.
In the Yin-Yang School, apart from the Left and Right Guardians, the titles of all other senior members were derived from the mythology of the Chu region. In the past, the Chu State Lingyin Mi Yuan even wrote a rhapsody for these mythological figures titled "Nine Songs." Many of the Yin-Yang School's titles all had corresponding chapters within the "Nine Songs."
The Sect Master is Donghuang Taiyi, the Deputy Sect Master is Dongjun, and the five great Elders are Yun Zhongjun, Xiangjun, Lady Xiang, Da Siming, and Shao Siming.
It can be said that among the ten gods of the "Nine Songs," except for Guoshang, Shanguai, and Hebo, all have counterparts.
Su Xuan's self-proclaimed title did not come from Chu mythology, which inevitably led people to have some thoughts.
But in the end... there was no objection.
When it comes down to it, it is because "the strong are respected." Although Xinghun had not been in the Yin-Yang School for long, his talent was shocking. In a short time, he had cultivated Yin-Yang arts to an extremely powerful realm, and later he became Xinghun.
His strength was undeniably powerful.
However, as strong as Xinghun was, before Su Xuan, he was nothing more than a flick of a finger.
In the flick of a finger, Xinghun was defeated and suffered heavy injuries.
Moon God and Dongjun, perhaps due to their seniority, were slightly stronger than Xinghun, but these two did not choose to make a move.
Besides this, there was another matter... the attitude of Donghuang Taiyi.
From the moment he spoke those words at the beginning to facing Xinghun's defeat, he had remained indifferent throughout.
Did Lord Donghuang lose? Was he truly willing to yield the position of Sect Master to another?
The five great Elders of the Yin-Yang School could not help but harbor many speculations.
But speculation, in the end, was just speculation.
With the words spoken by Donghuang Taiyi and Xinghun's fruitless challenge to Su Xuan, Su Xuan officially became the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School.
Not to mention the inexplicable attitudes of Dongjun and Moon God, the five great Elders each had their own thoughts.
For the Yin-Yang School disciples below the five great Elders, the change of Sect Master, although it once caused many to be surprised, did not cause much of a stir.
This was mainly because the position of Sect Master was too far removed from them.
Moreover, Donghuang Taiyi had created a mysterious persona for himself in the past.
The five great Elders could count the number of times they had seen his face on one hand, let alone the lower-level disciples.
To them, it did not matter who was the Sect Master.
Their most important task was still to diligently cultivate Yin-Yang arts and improve their strength.
Because of an accident that led him to become the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School, Su Xuan and Yan Lingji temporarily remained within the Yin-Yang School.
As the former Sect Master, regardless of whether he was willing to yield the position, as a senior, Donghuang Taiyi was duty-bound to guide his junior and support Su Xuan.
For example, by telling Su Xuan many of the secrets within the Yin-Yang School.
Donghuang Taiyi's original intention was actually to refuse. Since taking over the position of Yin-Yang School Sect Master, he had spent countless efforts to strengthen the school. To hand over all his life's work to an outsider like this, his unwillingness was imaginable.
However, firstly, his internal injuries had not healed, and secondly, in front of Su Xuan, he could feel a faint killing intent lingering upon him.
Su Xuan's underlying meaning was that if he were unwilling, he would kill him!
Donghuang Taiyi truly could not understand why there was such a monster in the world. This kind of strength clearly surpassed the Heaven-Man Realm. Without the certainty of surviving under Su Xuan, he ultimately chose to compromise.
"Able to bend and stretch, you are indeed a talent. However, this also indirectly reveals that you have great ambition, and because of that ambition, you do not want to die!"
Listening to Donghuang Taiyi recount the many secrets of the Yin-Yang School one by one, Su Xuan glanced deeply at Donghuang Taiyi, thinking this to himself.
However, after personally exchanging blows with Donghuang Taiyi, this rather mysterious figure from the original work seemed to hold no mystery for him anymore.
Looking at the world, Donghuang Taiyi was indeed a master.
But unfortunately, for him, who possessed the Earthly Fiend Dao arts, he could easily restrain him.
For practitioners of arts, the "Qi Prohibition" technique was the greatest nemesis.
For practitioners of external martial arts, the "Great Strength" technique allowed Su Xuan to easily contend with them.
The seventy-two Earthly Fiend arts, though not as good as the Heavenly Dipper Dao methods, were enough for Su Xuan to roam the world.
In the final analysis, it was because this world was too small and the general strength was too weak.
After finishing his account of the Yin-Yang School's many secrets to Su Xuan, Donghuang Taiyi returned to his room.
Since Su Xuan defeated him and took his place as the new Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School, his status had become very subtle.
To call himself Sect Master? The current Yin-Yang School Sect Master was Su Xuan, who styled himself "Xuantian Dao Lord," and the Deputy Sect Master had always been Dongjun; it would not be appropriate for him to snatch Dongjun's position.
Of course, what Donghuang Taiyi cared about was not the position of Sect Master; what he cared about most was always the fact that Su Xuan had defeated him.
"Honestly, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, I truly wouldn't have known that there was such powerful strength in this world!"
Before this, Donghuang Taiyi was extremely conceited, believing that under the heavens, there were almost no opponents. Even Beimingzi of the Daoist Heavenly Sect was only on par with him. Until now, he realized that there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens.
He wanted to pursue even more powerful strength.
And according to what he knew, there was something that could indeed help him obtain even more powerful strength.
That thing was currently in the hands of an old senior of the Yin-Yang School.
However, before finding that old senior, he went to another place.
The place where Xinghun was.
Compared to the deep-scheming Donghuang Taiyi, Xinghun was after all a youth. Even if he was brilliantly talented and had made great contributions to the Qin State at the age of twelve, this only meant he was talented enough, not that he could be as steady as an adult.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Thinking of being defeated by Su Xuan with a flick of a finger, he was extremely furious.
