Chapter 406

Xiaoyaozi forced himself to become cold and ruthless, but Su Xuan heard a tremor in his words. He... could not bear it! *** ### CHAPTER 660: Returning to Yin-Yang, Closing Off for Cultivation Again!

Even though Xiaoyaozi felt reluctant, he ultimately did not step forward to stop the tragedy.

What was originally Muxuzi's decision to execute Qingxuan ultimately evolved into an internal struggle within the Human Sect.

When the internal struggle ended, the people of the Human Sect felt very heavy-hearted.

Not only because some had defected from the Human Sect, but also because many had died after the battle.

Originally, these people could have become the pillars of the Human Sect in the future.

But due to various reasons, they ultimately embarked on a misguided path, from which it was difficult to return.

Within the Daoist School, the strength of the Human Sect was already inferior to the Heaven Sect. After this battle, it suffered a heavy blow, and it was unknown how long it would take to recover.

But even if weakened, the Human Sect still existed, which was better than one day becoming an anti-Qin "250" faction and being annihilated by the Qin State.

Su Xuan did not participate in the aftermath of the Human Sect; he only went to the Human Sect's library and stayed there for a day.

Although he had read a few books in the Human Sect's library that day, everything had been delayed by Qingxuan's assassination attempt.

Now, it could be considered making up for the previous regret.

Afterward, he stayed as a guest at the Heaven Sect for a few days, drinking tea with Beimingzi in the "Zhishou Pavilion." He stood up, and with a wave of his hand, a sword fell to the ground.

Seeing this sword, Beimingzi's gaze suddenly froze.

This was because the sword was the famous Daoist sword, "Xueji."

"This sword, I return it to you!"

Su Xuan's voice rang out, and then he turned and left.

Beimingzi was not surprised by Su Xuan's departure, because before drinking this tea, Su Xuan had already expressed his intention to leave. After all, Su Xuan was the leader of the Yin-Yang School, and this was the territory of the Daoist School.

Su Xuan had stayed for too long.

Beimingzi still felt some regret regarding Su Xuan's departure.

He actually had many questions he wanted to ask Su Xuan, such as what kind of realm the limit of Heaven and Man truly was. He had been in the Heaven and Man realm for many years, and with the path ahead unclear, Beimingzi was very eager to know how to proceed.

Unfortunately, Su Xuan left too quickly and did not give him that opportunity.

Looking at the Xueji sword in front of him, Beimingzi sighed. Immediately afterward, he discovered that his cultivation had returned.

Just like its inexplicable disappearance that day, the recovery of his cultivation was also without warning.

However, all in all, the recovery of his cultivation was a good thing.

During this period, because of the loss of his cultivation, he was forced to live like a real old man for a while, which gave him some new insights. Now that his cultivation had recovered, he prepared to go into seclusion for a while.

Perhaps he could advance his cultivation even further.

He had even thought about what to do after finishing his seclusion.

The Heaven Sect had been avoiding the world for a long time. Now that a brand-new era was about to arrive in the world, it was time to go out and walk around. Especially since Taiyi Mountain was within the territory of the Qin State, very close to Xianyang, it would be good to build a friendly relationship with the Qin State.

The Yin-Yang School was used by the Qin State. If the Daoist School also became friendly with the Qin State, they could use the Qin State as a bridge to ease relations with the Yin-Yang School, befriend Su Xuan, and then try to ask Su Xuan about the realm beyond Heaven and Man.

Nanshan, where Taiyi Mountain was located, and Lishan, where the Yin-Yang School was located, were not particularly far apart. After returning to the Yin-Yang School, Su Xuan began his seclusion.

Because Yan Fei and Moon Goddess had both been assigned tasks and were currently away, the interior of the Yin-Yang School seemed somewhat empty for a time.

Fortunately, the people of the Yin-Yang School were similar to those of the Daoist School; they were all homebodies who were usually immersed in cultivation. Even if there were small matters, the five Elders could handle them. Even if high-level figures like Moon Goddess, Yan Fei, and Su Xuan were not present, it did not affect the overall operation of the Yin-Yang School.

After returning the Xueji sword to Beimingzi, Su Xuan did not care how Beimingzi would handle this famous Daoist sword.

Whether the Heaven and Human sects of the Daoist School would have another duel to decide the ownership of the sword, or if the Heaven Sect would directly hold it, was none of Su Xuan's business.

Compared to the ownership of a sword, he had read through all the Daoist collections in the libraries of both the Heaven and Human sects, and he truly had many new realizations and insights that urgently needed to be digested in seclusion.

Although the Yin-Yang School also had many books, most of them were powerful techniques and lacked true classics. The Daoist School was different; from ancient times to the present, countless brilliant figures had emerged, and the classics they created were of great help to Su Xuan.

Su Xuan had mastered powerful Tiangang Daoist arts like "Nine Breaths of Qi Regulation." With the help of "Nine Breaths of Qi Regulation," he could deduce an ordinary technique to an extremely profound level. By the same token, the broader Su Xuan's foundation and knowledge, the more profound the things he could deduce using "Nine Breaths of Qi Regulation."

That day, he successfully deduced the "Book of Imperial Governance" with the help of the information contained in that wisp of dragon energy. After Ying Zheng practiced this technique that Su Xuan had drafted, his strength grew rapidly.

Since then, although Su Xuan had vaguely grasped a trace of the existence of "Heavenly Mandate," he also realized the benefits of reading more books.

Although the current world was a martial arts world, the ancient era was not.

With the help of the knowledge passed down from the ancient era, some of the techniques deduced using "Nine Breaths of Qi Regulation" could not even be called martial arts of a martial arts world; they always brought Su Xuan some surprises.

Time passed slowly.

After his strength became powerful, Su Xuan's seclusion became longer and longer.

After the Qin State destroyed Chu, it remained silent for quite a long time.

During this period, some storms also arose within the Qin State.

First, the main general who destroyed Chu, the Qin State's Marquis Wucheng Wang Xuan Jian, officially retired to his fields, and Ying Zheng allowed him to return to his hometown.

Originally, before the campaign against Chu, Wang Xuan Jian had the intention of retiring, but he could not withstand Ying Zheng's repeated requests and ultimately came out of retirement to serve as the main general for the destruction of Chu. Now that he had successfully retired, it could be considered a good ending to his life.

After Wang Xuan Jian retired, his son, Marquis Tongwu Wang Ben, was considered the highest-ranking person in the Qin military.

That year, Ying Zheng made him the main general and sent troops to attack Qi.

Although the Qi State had always been on good terms with the Qin State, and back then, upon learning that Ying Zheng had executed Lao Ai, dismissed Lu Lu Buwei from his position as Chancellor, and taken personal control of the government, King Xuan Jian of Qi had personally come to Xianyang to visit Ying Zheng, this was not a reason for the Qin State to give up attacking Qi.

Ying Zheng intended to unify the world and could not let the Qi State go. *** ### CHAPTER 661: Six Kings Finished, Four Seas Unified!
