Chapter 534
Chu Chu Nangong was a person of great fortune and also had extraordinary aptitude.
After Zou Yan died, he, with his overflowing talent, was once about to become the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School. If it weren't for Donghuang Taiyi appearing out of nowhere, the position of Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School would have been his.
In that battle, he lost.
Because of unwillingness, he left the Yin-Yang School.
However, it seemed that after the extreme, things turn for the better; it was precisely because he left the Yin-Yang School that he obtained the "Huang Shi Heavenly Book" by chance!
The Huang Shi Heavenly Book was an object granted to the human world by gods.
In the past, when the Yellow Emperor fought Did Chi You, he was surrounded by Did Chi You and his eighty-one brothers, falling into a desperate situation. Just at the most critical moment, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden descended from the sky and granted the Yellow Emperor this scroll of the Heavenly Book. The Yellow Emperor comprehended this scroll in an instant, and then comprehended powerful strength. This strength allowed him to turn danger into safety in an instant, and then he defeated Did Chi You and his eighty-one brothers, becoming the ruler of the Central Plains.
And the second person to obtain the Huang Shi Heavenly Book was Jiang Taigong. He assisted King Wu of Zhou in destroying the Shang, and because of his merit, he was enfeoffed in the State of Qi, becoming the ancestor of the State of Qi in the Zhou Dynasty. It is said that he attained the Dao at Qishan, which originated from the Huang Shi Heavenly Book.
This scroll of the Heavenly Book had circulated in the world for many years, but only a few people had obtained it and comprehended things from it.
The reason for this was that there was another saying.
Unless it is a chaotic time, the Heavenly Book cannot appear!
Whenever it is a peaceful and prosperous age, this scroll of the Heavenly Book would hide itself and disappear, and then wait until the world is in chaos before appearing. The Heavenly Book has spirit; it would choose the person of destiny to quell the chaos.
When Chu Chu Nangong obtained this scroll of the Heavenly Book, he couldn't be more excited, because if the rumors about the Heavenly Book were true, he was the so-called person of destiny.
It was also this scroll of the Heavenly Book that made him give up his many obsessions with the Yin-Yang School and choose to live in seclusion in the Great Marsh of Yunmeng, pondering bitterly. After many years, he felt he had comprehended many things, and his strength had reached the peak.
As a result, no one expected that the power he comprehended from the Heavenly Book.
Would be so vulnerable when facing Su Xuan.
The world constructed with the principles in the Heavenly Book shattered in an instant.
"The power of the Heavenly Book is indeed mysterious, but unfortunately, even principles have sizes. Your principle is too small and cannot bind me!"
Su Xuan's voice sounded, commenting on the power Chu Chu Nangong had mastered.
If Chu Chu Nangong's opponent were an ordinary person, he might be able to trap them forever in the world constructed by the power of the Heavenly Book, forcing them to follow the rules of that world until death.
Unfortunately, his opponent was Su Xuan.
Su Xuan was too strong.
Chu Chu Nangong's principles could not shake Su Xuan's Dao heart, let alone imprison his body.
With the shattering of the Heavenly Book world, Chu Chu Nangong's complexion turned incomparably pale. Previously, he was injured by Su Xuan's wind blades, which was just dishevelment on the outside; at this moment, he released a sense of haggardness from the inside out.
"Master Xuantian is worthy of being the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School, his strength is unfathomable, this old man is indeed inferior!"
Looking at Su Xuan, Chu Chu Nangong sighed, not knowing if he was sad about the defeat or sighing at Su Xuan's powerful strength.
Su Xuan's expression was indifferent, not feeling complacent at all for defeating Chu Chu Nangong. He asked calmly, "Where is Donghuang Taiyi?"
"Master Xuantian, go east for a while, and you should be able to see Donghuang Taiyi."
Chu Chu Nangong did not hide Donghuang Taiyi's whereabouts.
Not only did he not hide it, but he even took the initiative to urge Su Xuan, "Several years ago, Donghuang Taiyi came to me here. For some reason, he knew that the Huang Shi Heavenly Book was in my hands, so he asked me for the Huang Shi Heavenly Book."
"Originally, I did not want to give this object to him to ponder, but in the end, he persuaded me, and I gave the Heavenly Book to him!"
"The Heavenly Book is an object granted to the human world by gods. Pondering the Heavenly Book depends only on opportunity, not time. Like the Yellow Emperor, after obtaining the Heavenly Book, he could comprehend the Heavenly Book in an instant and then erupt with powerful strength. Although I have pondered the Heavenly Book for many years, after seeing Donghuang Taiyi, I realized that I am not the person of destiny. Over these years, I also don't know what he has comprehended from the Heavenly Book."
"You must be careful when fighting him!"
He chattered a lot.
Su Xuan's eyes flickered, and he roughly guessed Chu Chu Nangong's purpose in coming here to intercept him first.
It was to measure his strength before he and Donghuang Taiyi fought.
If he were not Chu Chu Nangong's match, he probably wouldn't be able to see Donghuang Taiyi.
It was quite surprising that the Huang Shi Heavenly Book had fallen into Donghuang Taiyi's hands and that he had pondered it for several years. Previously, he had seen a portion of the Heavenly Book's power at Chu Chu Nangong's place, and he was also very curious about what exactly Donghuang Taiyi had comprehended from the Heavenly Book.
But Su Xuan believed that no matter what he had comprehended, he could still defeat Donghuang Taiyi.
In addition, Su Xuan also knew a thing or two about the "destiny" Chu Chu Nangong mentioned. The Huang Shi Heavenly Book circulated widely in the world, and it is said that it would only appear in chaotic times, and the holder could quell the chaos.
Although Chu Chu Nangong himself did not quell the chaos, in the original story, he taught some disciples who did.
Zhang Liang was once guided by him, and Han Xin was also taught by him.
If these two people were included, Chu Chu Nangong was actually the person of destiny.
However, obviously, Chu Chu Nangong himself did not know this.
After defeating Chu Chu Nangong, Su Xuan took Yanfei and, ignoring the defeated Chu Chu Nangong, headed in the direction pointed out by the other. In fact, even if Chu Chu Nangong did not point the way, Su Xuan could still find Donghuang Taiyi.
But sometimes, it's better to save trouble if you can.
Heading east, after walking for a while, passing through the lush reed bushes, a flat land appeared suddenly. In the flat land, there was an incomparably huge bluestone.
It was unknown whether it existed here naturally or was moved here later.
On the bluestone, there was a figure sitting cross-legged.
The other party was wearing wide robes and a black mask on their face. The way they sat on the high terrace was exactly the same as when they were in the Yin-Yang School, without any changes.
