Chapter 642: The conditions for redeeming Xueji!

"You old bag of bones, you are certainly doing your utmost for the Daoist School!"

Su Xuan praised Beimingzi with a strange tone.

Beimingzi sighed, "It is precisely because I am an old bag of bones that I do not wish to see the tragedy repeat itself in my lifetime."

Su Xuan's words were pointed: "I fear that while you are exhausting yourself to ensure the Daoist School does not split again, there are those who do not think so and are preparing to drag the Daoist School to its end!"

Beimingzi was a smart man. Although he had been in seclusion on Mount Taiyi and did not know much about outside affairs, few things on this mountain could be hidden from him. He immediately knew what Su Xuan was referring to.

"Within the Human Sect, although many disciples harbor resentment toward the Qin Guo because they are from the Six States of the East, rest assured, they cannot stir up any waves. If they truly gave birth to the intention of opposing Qin and decided to fight against the Qin Guo, I would personally take action and kill them before they could even put it into action!"

When he said the word "kill," even though Beimingzi had not yet recovered his cultivation, he still revealed a biting intent to kill.

"You are a member of the Heaven Sect; aren't you afraid the Human Sect will have objections if you kill their disciples?"

Su Xuan looked at Beimingzi with interest.

Beimingzi said in a deep voice, "For the sake of the Daoist School, if there are those who are discordant, I will surely execute them!"

"Whoever has objections, I will kill them too!"

"I would rather weaken the Human Sect than let the Daoist School be destroyed because of it! And I believe there will be those in the Human Sect who understand my painstaking efforts."

Su Xuan's eyes flickered slightly; Beimingzi's words surprised him somewhat.

It was truly because these words did not sound like something a Daoist master would say.

After a slight ponder, Su Xuan spoke again: "I can leave the Xueji Sword with the Daoist School, but as a price, I need to visit the Daoist School's library!"

"Not just the Heaven Sect's library, but the libraries of both sects; I wish to see them both!"

The Dao is divided into Heaven and Human; the two sects are like the Jing and Wei rivers, distinct and clear. They reside on the same mountain but do not interfere with each other. Both sects have their own libraries, and within them are hidden many precious classics of the two schools.

It could be said that these things are the most precious items within the Daoist School.

From ancient times to the present, the Daoist School has seen countless brilliant figures emerge; their lifelong realizations were eventually written into books and hidden in the pavilions.

Upon hearing Su Xuan's request, Beimingzi was slightly stunned.

He had not expected Su Xuan to actually want to go to the Daoist library to take a look.

If it were an ordinary person from an outside sect, he would have refused immediately.

The Daoist library contains many precious Daoist classics, and many techniques are all hidden within. If someone from an outside sect were to step inside, it would very likely lead to these techniques leaking out. Furthermore, even within the Daoist School, people from the Human Sect are forbidden from stepping into the Heaven Sect's library, and vice versa.

But Su Xuan was different. As the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School, Daoist techniques and many Yin-Yang School techniques are similar by nature. Coupled with the fact that Su Xuan had already reached such a realm, even if he were to learn all the techniques in the library, it would merely be adding a few more methods to his repertoire and would not help Su Xuan break through to a higher realm.

The impact of Su Xuan seeing the various Daoist techniques in the library would not be as great as imagined.

After all, Su Xuan was too strong.

The weak can become stronger by learning various Daoist techniques, but those who are already strong to the extreme cannot become stronger by learning them.

Beimingzi pondered for a while and said, "I can give you an answer regarding the Heaven Sect's library right now. You can enter and exit as you please; stay as long as you like. As long as you do not take the classics out, you may do whatever you wish."

"Is it okay if I destroy the classics inside?"

Su Xuan joked with Beimingzi.

Beimingzi was stunned upon hearing this. A miscalculation; he hadn't expected this possibility. Had he known, he wouldn't have spoken so absolutely.

Su Xuan looked at Beimingzi's stunned expression and smiled, "Rest assured, I will not destroy the classics inside."

Beimingzi nodded; that would be for the best.

Many of the classics inside were unique copies. Although, because he had read them, they could be recopied even if destroyed, the destruction of the originals would ultimately be a bad thing.

After finishing the matter of the Heaven Sect's library, Beimingzi spoke of the Human Sect's library.

"I am a member of the Heaven Sect; I cannot manage the affairs of the Human Sect, but I will try to communicate with Xiaoyaozi."

These words were actually somewhat self-contradictory.

Beimingzi had just said that if there were those in the Human Sect who were discordant, he would surely kill them, and now he said he couldn't manage the Human Sect's affairs. But if one were to carefully understand it, it was not hard to grasp.

The reason he spoke such resolute words was that when the situation truly reached an irreversible point, it was a necessary action for the sake of the Daoist School.

But right now, it had not reached that point. If he allowed Su Xuan to step into the Human Sect's library without their consent, it would only provoke resistance from the Human Sect and subsequently trigger internal conflict within the Daoist School.

Even though his primary purpose in doing all this was to redeem Xueji and prevent the conflict from erupting.

"I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible!"

Su Xuan said coldly to Beimingzi.

Beimingzi nodded deeply.

Next, the two no longer spoke. After finishing the conditions and the trade, they quietly began to drink tea again.

Beimingzi actually wanted to ask Su Xuan about the mysteries of the Heaven-Man Limit Realm, but upon thinking that he had lost all his power and didn't even know if it could be recovered, what would be the point of knowing the mysteries of the Heaven-Man Limit Realm?

Therefore, rather than getting to the bottom of that question, it was better to continue savoring the feeling of having lost his power.

"Good tea!"

Su Xuan calmed his heart, tasted the tea, and offered praise.

"This tea is grown by the Heaven Sect itself; the annual yield is not high. When you leave, Master Xuantian, you may take some with you," Beimingzi said softly to Su Xuan.

Although Su Xuan was from the Yin-Yang School and this was Daoist territory, Su Xuan's strength was simply too powerful.

Even here, he could still roam without obstruction.

Beimingzi did not want to offend Su Xuan, so he could only find ways to befriend him.

Judging from the attitude Su Xuan had shown toward the Daoist School, he was completely different from those of the Yin-Yang School in the past; this might even be an opportunity.

Not to mention mending relations with the Yin-Yang School, even if the relationship were just not as tense as before, it would be a good thing.

Beimingzi could foresee that the jianghu of the next few decades would belong to Su Xuan.
