Chapter 398: Heaven Sect

The Daoist School has an extremely long heritage.

Although it only took root in Nanshan and flourished after the Dao Ancestor Lao Dan passed down the five thousand words of the *Dao De Jing*, if one were to trace it further, it could be traced back to the time of the Yellow Emperor, Huang Di.

It can be said that in the world today, among the Hundred Schools of Thought.

Except for the Agricultural School, the Daoist School has the longest heritage.

And the Agricultural School is far less prosperous than the Daoist School.

The prosperity of the Agricultural School was only a matter of recent years. In recent years, through constant recruitment of disciples, it was once extremely prosperous, but this prosperity was only temporary. After Su Xuan stepped into the Agricultural School's main hall and destroyed the Agricultural School with his own power, the Agricultural School declined.

But the Daoist School is different.

Although it does not have as many disciples as the Agricultural School, it has almost never declined from ancient times to the present.

Among them, although there were two major changes—one was five hundred years ago when the Yin-Yang School separated from the Daoist School, and three hundred years ago when the Dao split into Heaven and Human—even after experiencing these changes, the strength of the Daoist School remained extremely powerful, and there were Heaven-Human level experts in every generation.

This is almost unimaginable among the Hundred Schools of Thought.

You must know that even the Mohist School, which ranks among the top of the Hundred Schools of Thought, does not have Heaven-Human level experts.

The contemporary Confucian School only has Does Xun Zi as an exception.

Although the Yin-Yang School also has Heaven-Human level experts, strictly speaking, the Yin-Yang School and the Daoist School share the same origin, which is enough to prove the profoundness of the Daoist heritage.

The more Su Xuan knew, the more interested he became in ancient matters.

Unfortunately, the heritage of the Yin-Yang School is not long, only a few hundred years, making it difficult to trace the secrets of ancient times.

In the Daoist library, besides many secret techniques, there are extremely detailed records of those ancient secrets.

Su Xuan found these books, and after reading them, he became more and more knowledgeable about the ancient era.

At his level, reading books is like glancing at ten lines at once, and he also has the ability to never forget what he has seen.

After finishing the "history books" of the Daoist School, Su Xuan flipped through the various techniques of the Heaven Sect. Although for him, who had mastered the Seventy-Two Earthly Transformations, these techniques were of average use and were like chicken ribs, since he was already here, it wouldn't hurt to take a look.

In Beimingzi's conjecture, Su Xuan would have to stay in the Heart Fasting for at least a few days.

As a result, Su Xuan walked out after only one day, which surprised him quite a bit.

Upon learning that Su Xuan had walked out of the Heart Fasting, Beimingzi immediately came before him.

The reason he handled this personally was mainly because Su Xuan's status and strength forced him to be cautious. Even though Su Xuan had agreed to the transaction with him, the Snow Clearing sword was currently still in Su Xuan's hands, and no one could say for sure if he would go back on his word. To put it bluntly, given Su Xuan's strength, even if he did go back on his word, Beimingzi could do nothing, for at this moment, he was just an old man without power.

"I thought you would stay in the Heart Fasting for a long time!"

Upon seeing Su Xuan, Beimingzi said faintly; this was his true thought.

"The things in the Heart Fasting are not of much help to me; one day is enough!" Su Xuan answered Beimingzi's words.

Beimingzi understood in his heart. Sure enough, even if Su Xuan were allowed to enter the Heart Fasting, those techniques didn't have much temptation for him.

From this perspective, they were the ones taking advantage of Su Xuan.

The Daoist classics and arts held no attraction for Su Xuan; rather, it was the Snow Clearing sword he had seized that held extraordinary significance for the Daoists.

"Next, are you planning to go to the Human Sect's Qi-Wu Pavilion?"

Beimingzi asked Su Xuan again.

"Let's talk about it in two days; I need to organize some things in my mind," Su Xuan said softly.

Beimingzi nodded and did not force him.

Anyway, he had already discussed the specific matters with Xiaoyaozi, and Su Xuan could go to the Human Sect's library whenever he wanted.

Taiyi Mountain, where the Daoist School is located, has beautiful scenery with trees that are green all year round.

In the mountain forest, the total number of disciples of the two sects is not large, so most places are lush fields. Standing on the high mountain peak, the mountain wind blows, bringing bursts of fragrance.

The air here is extremely good.

Su Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, and having nothing to do, he appreciated the beautiful scenery of Taiyi Mountain.

A crisp sound of footsteps rang out behind him. The sound was very low, and even though the visitor deliberately concealed their footsteps, Su Xuan was who he was; even if the visitor was silent, he could still perceive it.

"Come out!"

He did not turn around, only speaking calmly.

A little girl wearing light green clothes holding a wooden sword walked slowly from behind a tree.

She came before Su Xuan, said nothing, only looked up at Su Xuan, her fighting spirit intense.

Su Xuan felt the other's fighting spirit and didn't care, instead looking at the little girl with interest.

Dressed in light green clothes, holding a wooden sword, with white hair, and a pretty and cute appearance, he recognized who the other was immediately.

"I heard that some time ago, someone came to the Daoist Heaven Sect to apprentice, defeated many Heaven Sect disciples with a wooden sword, and later, during enlightenment, surpassed the six great elders of the Heaven Sect with excellent talent, leading Beimingzi, who had not taken an apprentice for decades, to come forward and accept her as his closing disciple!"

"Is that person you?"

Su Xuan's gaze fell on the little girl.

The little girl immediately felt an extremely powerful pressure, but even so, she did not lower her head, but continued to look up, meeting Su Xuan's gaze.

After staring at each other for a while, the little girl said, "You are very strong. Neither Senior Brother Chisong nor Master is your match. I know I am not your match either."

"But I have a reason why I must challenge you!"

She was not an arrogant person. Although she had defeated many Heaven Sect disciples that day to climb Taiyi Mountain and successfully apprentice into the Daoist School, she was very clear about her own strength. Perhaps she could defeat ordinary Daoist disciples, but facing a peerless powerhouse like Su Xuan, she still counted for nothing.

But even so, this was not a reason for her to fear.

After seeing Su Xuan, for the sake of certain obsessions in her heart, she had to fight Su Xuan. Even if she lost, at least it meant she had tried.

Many thoughts flashed through the little girl's mind, finally turning into a firm gaze.

The little girl held the wooden sword and said to Su Xuan in a deep voice, "Heaven Sect's Facing Xiaomeng, here to ask for a sword fight!"

Asking for a sword fight was the term Su Xuan had brought up earlier.

She hadn't expected Facing Xiaomeng to hear it, and she had learned it and used it herself.
