Chapter 397: Heart Fasting

~7 min read 1,246 words

Su Xuan received VIP treatment in the Daoist School, which is an unprecedented event.

In the past, few people climbed Taiyi Mountain to come to the Daoist School, and even if they did, they rarely received such generous treatment.

Su Xuan can be considered an exception.

But thinking of the strength he displayed on the Guanmiao Platform, he is indeed qualified to be treated this way.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, Su Xuan had stayed in the Heaven Sect for several days.

Chisongzi also woke up. After waking up, the first thing he thought about was dealing with Su Xuan.

He still believed that Su Xuan was a huge threat and prepared to eliminate him.

However, after knowing what happened after he fell into a coma and knowing that his master, Beimingzi, had warmly invited Su Xuan and that Su Xuan was now staying in the Heaven Sect as a guest, Chisongzi gradually calmed down.

He gradually realized that he had been reckless.

At that time, he only thought that Su Xuan's strength was powerful, and if Su Xuan were given a few more years, there would probably be no one in the world who could check him. Now, thinking about it again, he became even more terrified.

For example, was the strength Su Xuan displayed that day his true strength?

If he hadn't killed Su Xuan at that time.

The entire Daoist School would probably have suffered a devastating battle.

Is there a possibility that the Su Xuan at that time was already invincible in the world?

Now that he had calmed down, Chisongzi was filled with lingering fear.

"It's a good thing he knocked me out at that time!"

So, did Su Xuan knock him out at that time because he guessed what he was planning to do and didn't want to push things to an irreversible point?

Chisongzi guessed to himself.

Subsequently, he learned one thing from his disciples.

With Beimingzi's permission, Su Xuan had already entered the Heart Fasting (Xinzhai).

Heart Fasting is the name of the Daoist library.

Upon learning that Su Xuan had entered the Heart Fasting, Chisongzi immediately went to find his master, Beimingzi.

When he arrived before his master, he looked at him. The master who had been mysterious in the past now looked like a true old man, showing his age.

He didn't know if it was a return to simplicity or if this was his master's true state.

Seeing this, Chisongzi couldn't help but be stunned, and then he said, "Master, I heard that that person, with your permission, has already entered the Heart Fasting..."

"Not just the Heart Fasting, I have already persuaded Xiaoyaozi to allow him to enter the Human Sect's Qi-Wu Pavilion!"

Qi-Wu Pavilion is the name of the Human Sect's library.

Chisongzi's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. He didn't expect that one Heart Fasting wasn't enough, and his master had even acted as a lobbyist for that person to allow him to enter the Human Sect's library.

"Why?"

Chisongzi was puzzled.

Beimingzi said, "In your view, him entering the library and having many books opened to him might bring great disaster, but is that really the case?"

Chisongzi was stunned.

Beimingzi continued, "When a person is already very powerful, even if he learns a few more things, the progress brought about is minimal. Conversely, if he were a weak person, letting him enter the library and read various classics at will would be the biggest trouble."

"Daoist techniques can be taught, but one must avoid abusing them!"

"Do you think he is someone who would abuse our Daoist techniques?"

"Many of our Daoist techniques actually don't have that much temptation for someone whose cultivation has reached the pinnacle."

"Even if he were truly interested in our Daoist classics, with his strength, he could easily sneak into the library to read them, and we might not even know."

Chisongzi was silent.

Even though he didn't want to accept this reality, he had to admit that what his master said was true.

Su Xuan's strength is too strong.

Although he is only at the Grandmaster realm, he knows something about the mysteries of the Heaven-Human realm. Throughout the history of the Daoist School, there has been no lack of Heaven-Human level experts.

But in the many classics of the Daoist School, no Heaven-Human has reached Su Xuan's level.

As a Heaven-Human level expert, his master was defeated so easily in front of Su Xuan.

If he didn't know this was his master and didn't know his master's character, Chisongzi would have suspected that Beimingzi had lost on purpose.

"Is this the strength of the Heaven-Human limit?"

Chisongzi thought of the battle on the Guanmiao Platform once again.

The strength Su Xuan displayed was a power that was hard to describe in words.

However, although he knew that the trouble of Su Xuan entering the library was not as great as imagined, Chisongzi still didn't understand why his master would agree to Su Xuan's request.

As Chisongzi's master, Beimingzi knew his disciple very well and knew he still had questions, so he gave the answer.

"Everything I have done is to redeem the Snow Clearing sword!"

Upon hearing this answer, Chisongzi immediately showed some guilt on his face.

The Snow Clearing sword was originally held by him. Even though the previous Heaven and Man sword debate was for the purpose of contending for the ownership of this sword, before the results of the battle between him and Xiaoyaozi were determined, the owner of this sword remained him.

He needed to bear great responsibility for the trial of the Snow Clearing sword.

It could be said that if the Daoist school truly suffered an eruption of conflict due to the loss of Snow Clearing, he would be the culprit behind it all.

Upon knowing that everything his master had done was to redeem Snow Clearing.

Chisongzi was extremely ashamed.

"Master..."

Looking at his increasingly aged teacher, Chisongzi muttered to himself.

……

The Heart Fasting is not large, and the classics of the Daoist Heaven Sect are not many.

Originally, there were several Heaven Sect disciples practicing inside, but because Su Xuan was going to enter to read the Heaven Sect's classics, all these disciples were withdrawn under Beimingzi's order.

Even though Beimingzi is not the Sect Master of the Heaven Sect, to tell the truth, his prestige in the Heaven Sect is actually even greater than that of the Sect Master, Chisongzi.

Although many Heaven Sect disciples were somewhat puzzled by Beimingzi allowing Su Xuan to enter the Heart Fasting, they did not express any attitude.

Master Master Beiming acting this way must have his reasons.

Su Xuan stayed in the Heart Fasting alone, first glancing at the bamboo slips placed on the shelves.

Heaven and Earth Losing Color, Ten Thousand Rivers Autumn Water, Heart Like Still Water—many of the Heaven Sect's unique skills were all there, but he did not read them immediately. These techniques are top-tier unique skills in the Jianghu, but for Su Xuan, who is the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School, the attraction was not as great as imagined.

Within the Yin-Yang School, one can find many similar techniques. These techniques might not be as mysterious as these, but they can indeed be used to replace them.

Compared to various unique skills, Su Xuan was more interested in the "history books" of the Daoist School!
