Chapter 569

Whether it was the Heavenly Sect or the Human Sect, the Daoist School did not have much greed for secular royal power. Royal power and wealth were merely passing clouds to them. Why did they cultivate hard in the mountains? It was nothing more than for immortality!

Immortality had a very deep attraction to the Daoist School.

Therefore, upon learning that Ying Zheng might have obtained the elixir of immortality, many people in the Daoist School wanted to peek at the truth.

If it were true, it would prove that immortality could be sought.

Their years of Daoist cultivation were not in vain.

"So that’s what this is about!"

Su Xuan immediately understood Beimingzi’s intention.

Although the current Daoist School was nothing to him.

After Concubine Yan also advanced to the Heaven-Human realm, even excluding him, the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School, the Yin-Yang School was enough to contend with the Daoist School. But the Daoist School was, after all, a sect with a very long heritage, and there were many experts within the sect. If he could pull the Daoist School onto the Qin State’s chariot, it would be a good thing.

"Let’s talk somewhere else!"

He said casually to Beimingzi.

Beimingzi nodded, and then, led by Su Xuan, they headed toward the depths of the Yin-Yang School.

Deep within the Yin-Yang School, there were many pavilions, much more magnificent than the buildings of the Daoist School.

(Are you doing well?)

The former headquarters of the Yin-Yang School was not here, so this was Beimingzi’s first time at this Yin-Yang School headquarters in Lishan.

Even though Lishan was not far from the Daoist School’s headquarters, Nanshan, before this.

He walked all the way, admiring the buildings of the Yin-Yang School and watching the scene of the Yin-Yang School disciples cultivating, clicking his tongue in wonder.

Finally, they arrived at the Taiwei Purple Palace.

Stepping in here, he felt the difference.

"The Yin-Yang School is located deep in Lishan, between the nine lands, but here the Yang energy is abundant. Undoubtedly, there is earth fire hidden beneath, gathering Yang and Yin. It is truly an excellent Feng Shui place!"

Beimingzi praised.

Su Xuan’s expression was calm: "It is all the credit of the sages of the Yin-Yang School; it is not worth mentioning!"

To be precise, the Yin-Yang School choosing to be here was the credit of the deceased Donghuang Taiyi.

Although that was the case, the two soon got down to business.

When it came to business, Beimingzi’s expression became serious again.

He did not continue to exchange pleasantries with Su Xuan about the internal environment of the Yin-Yang School. For an expert like him, living in a dilapidated house or in an imperial palace made no difference; the only thing he sought was immortality.

"May I ask Your Excellency Master Xuantian, does the elixir of immortality truly exist?"

Hearing Beimingzi’s question, Su Xuan was silent for a while before saying softly: "You really did come for immortality!"

Earlier, when Beimingzi said that, he already had the answer in his heart. Now, as Beimingzi spoke again, it was confirmed.

Beimingzi did not hide it either, saying bluntly: "From ancient times to the present, the Daoist School has sought only two things: one is the Heavenly Dao, and the other is immortality. Among them, seeking the Heavenly Dao is only to prove immortality through seeking the Dao."

"Now, having suddenly heard that Your Excellency Master Xuantian brought back the elixir of immortality, our entire Daoist School wants to know the truth of this matter!"

"This is the purpose of my visit here!"

Su Xuan’s tone was a bit strange: "Then you are likely to be disappointed. There is no such thing as an elixir of immortality in this world."

A trace of disappointment appeared in Beimingzi’s eyes, but then he recovered. He sighed softly: "Sure enough, it was just a rumor."

Although he didn't know why the Qin State didn't take the initiative to refute the rumor, he chose to believe Su Xuan’s words.

That was, there was no elixir of immortality in this world, and naturally, there was no such thing as immortality.

Was the thing the Daoist School had sought for years ultimately just flowers in a mirror and the moon in the water, all for nothing?

Also, compared to the ethereal immortality, instead of wasting time on that, it would be better to seek a way to break through to the Heaven-Human realm.

The Yin-Yang School broke away from the Daoist School, and its Sect Master, Your Excellency Master Xuantian, had already surpassed the Heaven-Human realm, while the Daoist School, because it was divided into the Heavenly and Human Sects and had been fighting endlessly for hundreds of years, had been standing still and making no progress.

Su Xuan was silent for a while, then asked Beimingzi: "In your opinion, does immortality achieved through external objects count as true immortality?"

Beimingzi raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but look up at Su Xuan.

He didn't understand the meaning of Su Xuan’s words.

Su Xuan realized this, so he didn't continue to get to the bottom of this question with Beimingzi, but changed his phrasing: "In this world, there has never been an elixir of immortality. If there really were an elixir of immortality, why has no immortal ever appeared throughout history? Although there is Peng Zu who claimed to have lived for eight hundred years, this is merely a legend; no one is sure whether it is true or false."

"That is indeed the logic!"

Hearing this "comfort" from Su Xuan, Beimingzi felt a little better.

This time, he had come here only because he heard that Su Xuan had brought back the elixir of immortality, and out of his pursuit of immortality, he came to verify it with Su Xuan. At this moment, hearing Su Xuan’s words, he realized that he had indeed not seen the facts clearly.

If there really were an elixir of immortality in the world, why had he never heard of any immortals among the many people throughout history?

Not to mention anything else, if the true secret of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon were the elixir of immortality, then the person who left behind the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon should also have achieved immortality.

Although the reality was cruel, in any case, this trip today was not in vain. At least he knew the truth about the rumor of the elixir of immortality, and after returning, he could cut off the delusions of some people in the Daoist School.

Not cultivating properly, and thinking all day about using external objects to seek immortality.

One must know, even without reaching the Heaven-Human realm, was immortality so easy to seek?

That’s right, Beimingzi was talking about his own disciple, Chisongzi.

As for Xiaoyaozi, because he was a member of the Human Sect, he couldn't control him, but Chisongzi was different. At his age, he still hadn't broken through to the Heaven-Human realm; it was truly shameful. On the other hand, Facing Xiaomeng, young as she was, had shown extraordinary talent. Perhaps one day she could reach an unimaginable realm and have the hope of surpassing him, her teacher.

After many emotions flashed through his heart, Beimingzi said to Su Xuan: "Thank you for your guidance, Your Excellency Master Xuantian!"

Saying this, he prepared to take his leave and return to the Daoist School.

After all, this was the headquarters of the Yin-Yang School, and it always felt strange for him, a Daoist, to stay here (aiee). As for Xiao Ling, let him go back by himself.

Although Xiao Yi was Xiao Ling’s sister, the other party had already joined the Yin-Yang School, and Beimingzi still didn't like Xiao Ling lingering here too much.

Just as Beimingzi was about to leave, Su Xuan suddenly spoke again, saying one sentence: "Although there is no elixir of immortality in this world, immortality is indeed real."

Beimingzi’s footsteps stopped abruptly, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

This sentence from Su Xuan shocked him from the bottom of his heart.

Immortality actually existed?

If someone else said this, Beimingzi naturally wouldn't believe it, but the person who said this was Su Xuan.

Su Xuan, whose strength was profound and had already surpassed the Heaven-Human realm, and who had also cracked the secret of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon and personally sailed on the Mirage to the overseas immortal mountains, perhaps he knew some things that ordinary people didn't know.

Beimingzi turned around, took a deep breath, then bowed and cupped his hands, saying in a deep voice to Su Xuan: "Please, Your Excellency Master Xuantian, enlighten me!"

Su Xuan lowered his head, looked at the humble Beimingzi, and said leisurely: "How much do you know about ancient matters?"

"Ancient matters?"

Beimingzi raised his eyebrows and asked Su Xuan: "Which matters is Your Excellency Master Xuantian referring to?"

Su Xuan said: "About the matters of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden and Did Chi You!"

Beimingzi pondered for a while and said: "In the classics of my Daoist School, there are indeed records of ancient past events. It is said that in ancient times, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden descended to the world and once taught Did Chi You. However, Did Chi You was tyrannical, so the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden turned to teach the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan. Finally, the two fought a decisive battle at Zhuolu, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan was superior, and Did Chi You was defeated and died."

Su Xuan said: "Such a record is not wrong, but it is not detailed enough."

Beimingzi grasped that there was more to Su Xuan’s words: "I would like to hear the details!"

Su Xuan did not hide it either, and leisurely recounted a past event that many people knew, but only the Daoist School did not.

Upon hearing that in ancient times, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden descended from the sky, forged a divine sword for Did Chi You, Did Chi You held the sword and slaughtered all living things, and later the Dragon God and the Mysterious Maiden helped the Yellow Emperor defeat Did Chi You, but Did Chi You did not die, but was sealed in the Abyss, and several years ago possessed Donghuang Taiyi to reappear in the world, and was killed again in Many Loulan—Beimingzi was shocked beyond words.

"How is this possible..."

If this story hadn't come from Su Xuan, he would have found it very hard to imagine that such a thing was real.

Su Xuan said softly: "Whether you believe it or not, Donghuang Taiyi is indeed dead, and Did Chi You did indeed possess his body to reappear in the world, and was finally killed by me in Many Loulan."

"If we talk about the way of immortality, Did Chi You can actually be considered to have already achieved immortality!"
