Chapter 337: Buying his life!

It was still that same sentiment.

Su Xuan was too strong!

So strong that Donghuang Taiyi trembled before him.

Before the battle, Donghuang Taiyi had believed that the Nine Palaces of the Divine Capital, which he had comprehended from the Huang Shi Heavenly Book, could withstand Su Xuan's forbidden techniques. But after the battle, he discovered this was not the case. Su Xuan could break the power of the Nine Palaces of the Divine Capital with a mere wave of his hand, and this power was also unable to withstand Su Xuan's forbidden techniques.

It was precisely because of these facts that overturned his assumptions.

He did not believe that the restriction he had set within his own mind could withstand Su Xuan's mind-reading technique.

In other words, if Su Xuan wanted to know his insights into the Huang Shi Heavenly Book, he could obtain them in another way.

Right now, Su Xuan's request for the Huang Shi Heavenly Book and his insights into it was actually giving him an opportunity.

An opportunity to survive.

Even if this opportunity was only obtained because of Su Xuan's pity.

But for Donghuang Taiyi, who was full of ambition and did not want to die, he had to seize this opportunity.

After a brief moment of contemplation, a low voice came from Donghuang Taiyi, "Fine!"

He agreed to Su Xuan's request.

After this word left his lips, Donghuang Taiyi immediately felt the wind-bindings that had restrained him vanish. He recovered a certain degree of mobility, but his internal energy and his perception of the power of heaven and earth had still not returned.

After regaining his mobility, the first thing he did was stand up.

Although he had been defeated by Su Xuan, he still felt extremely uncomfortable being looked down upon by Su Xuan with such a condescending attitude.

Only after standing side-by-side with Su Xuan did this feeling of discomfort barely diminish.

Without hesitation, after standing up, Donghuang Taiyi immediately took a scroll of bamboo slips from his robes and handed it to Su Xuan.

This scroll of bamboo slips was the Huang Shi Heavenly Book, which had circulated throughout the world for thousands of years.

Not far away, Chu Nan Gong, seeing Donghuang Taiyi hand the Huang Shi Heavenly Book to Su Xuan, wanted to speak but hesitated, preparing to say something, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

Years ago, Donghuang Taiyi had come before him and, through a wager, won the Huang Shi Heavenly Book.

From that moment on, he was no longer the master of the Huang Shi Heavenly Book; the master of this heavenly book was Donghuang Taiyi.

That was why, after losing to Su Xuan, Chu Nan Gong had mentioned in front of Su Xuan that he was not the person of destiny and that his destiny had been lost.

Now, Su Xuan had defeated Donghuang Taiyi, and as the master of the heavenly book, Donghuang Taiyi indeed had the authority to dispose of the ownership of this scroll.

After Su Xuan received the Huang Shi Heavenly Book, he immediately sensed the scroll.

On the surface, the heavenly book looked like a scroll of bamboo slips, but upon careful perception, Su Xuan felt an extremely pure power within it. It was this power that enveloped the heavenly book, allowing it to remain as vivid as new after thousands of years, without any rot or damage.

Even with Su Xuan's current strength, he still felt a sense of supreme transcendence from this power.

"The power of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden?"

Su Xuan could not help but ponder to himself.

He could finally confirm one fact.

That was, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden truly existed, and this existence was very likely a true immortal deity.

However, he did not open the Huang Shi Heavenly Book here to study it.

Looking at Donghuang Taiyi before him, he remained silent for a while, then flicked his sleeves, and cloth, brush, and ink all appeared on the ground.

"Write down your insights!"

Donghuang Taiyi looked at the cloth, brush, and ink that had appeared on the ground and was also stunned. He had never expected Su Xuan to carry these things with him, and more importantly, he had never known where Su Xuan kept these items on his person from the very beginning.

The flying sword from before, and these items now, all appeared with a mere flick of Su Xuan's sleeve.

Were they hidden in his sleeves?

His sleeves were only so large; how could he possibly hide them?

Donghuang Taiyi was stunned, but he still picked up the cloth, brush, and ink from the ground, then went to the side of the large blue stone where he had previously sat cross-legged. Squatting down, in an extremely humiliating posture and state of mind, he wrote down his insights into the Huang Shi Heavenly Book.

He had to write it!

To survive, he had to agree to any of Su Xuan's demands.

Not far away, Chu Nan Gong witnessed another thing that surprised him.

In his impression, Donghuang Taiyi was a genius without peer, overflowing with talent and arrogant by nature. When he first appeared in the world, he defeated him in one stroke to become the new Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School. All his subsequent actions had elevated his status within the Yin-Yang School, gradually detaching him from the mortal world, as if he were a god.

Years ago, after the other party came to the Yunmeng Marshes as a loser, he had never changed this personality.

But today, in front of Su Xuan, he was incredibly humble.

Chu Nan Gong finally understood why Donghuang Taiyi had lost.

If one lost to a person like this, there was indeed nothing more to be said.

Soon, Donghuang Taiyi finished writing down his insights into the Huang Shi Heavenly Book.

There was not much written, but every word was a pearl of wisdom. Su Xuan browsed through it briefly and knew that Donghuang Taiyi had not held anything back. Primarily, Donghuang Taiyi did not dare to hold back; for someone with low strength, even if he hid a few tricks, the other party would not notice, but for someone like Su Xuan, Donghuang Taiyi was unsure if the other party could discern the truth.

If he had discerned it and he had held back, then the only thing awaiting him would be death.

Even after handing over the Huang Shi Heavenly Book and his insights to Su Xuan, Donghuang Taiyi still felt a sense of trepidation in his heart.

He feared that Su Xuan would go back on his word and, after receiving the items, still put him to death!

After Su Xuan finished reading the insights written by Donghuang Taiyi, he put them away. Unsurprisingly, the Yin-Yang School would soon have another top-tier cultivation art.

He frowned, then raised his hand.

Donghuang Taiyi immediately felt his internal energy return, and at the same time, he recovered his perception of the power of heaven and earth.

"Go. I give you a quarter of an hour; before I change my mind, leave this place quickly!"

Upon hearing Su Xuan's words, Donghuang Taiyi did not hesitate at all. He immediately unleashed his fastest speed, sparing no loss of internal energy, and fled the area rapidly. In an instant, he had disappeared.

After dealing with Donghuang Taiyi's matter, Su Xuan's gaze turned toward the distance.

Yan Fei was still engaged in battle with Xing Hun.

Because the battle between Su Xuan and Donghuang Taiyi had ended too quickly, the pace of the battle between those two in the distance seemed somewhat sluggish.
