Chapter 643: The Guest of the Daoist School

Su Xuan received the treatment of a guest of honor at the Daoist School, a thing that had never happened before.

In the past, very few people ascended Mount Taiyi to come to the Daoist School, and even if they did reach Mount Taiyi, they were rarely treated with such great hospitality by the Daoist School.

Su Xuan could be called a special case.

But once one thought of the strength he displayed on the Guanmiao Terrace, he was indeed qualified to be treated this way.

Time flowed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, Su Xuan had stayed at the Heaven Sect for several days.

Chi Songzi also woke up, and after regaining consciousness, the first thing he thought of was dealing with the matter of Su Xuan.

He still firmly believed that Su Xuan was a massive threat and prepared to eliminate this threat.

However, after learning what had happened after he fell unconscious and knowing that his master, Beimingzi, had warmly invited Su Xuan and that Su Xuan was currently staying at the Heaven Sect as a guest, Chi Songzi gradually calmed down.

He gradually realized that he had been reckless.

At the time, he had only thought about Su Xuan's powerful strength; if Su Xuan were given a few more years, he feared no one in the world could keep him in check. Now, thinking about it carefully again, he became increasingly terrified.

For instance, was the strength Su Xuan revealed that day his true strength?

If he had failed to kill Su Xuan at that time.

The entire Daoist School would likely have suffered a catastrophic battle.

Was there a possibility that the Su Xuan of that time was actually already invincible in the world?

Now that he had calmed down, Chi Songzi was filled with lingering fear.

"It's a good thing he knocked me out back then!"

Then, when Su Xuan took action to knock him out, had he guessed what he was planning to do, and was it because he didn't want to push things to an irredeemable point that he did such a thing?

Chi Songzi speculated to himself.

Subsequently, he learned another thing from his disciples.

With Beimingzi's permission, Su Xuan had already stepped into the Heart Fasting Hall.

The Heart Fasting Hall was the name of the Daoist School's library.

Upon learning that Su Xuan had stepped into the Heart Fasting Hall, Chi Songzi went to find his master, Beimingzi, at the first opportunity.

When he arrived before his master, he looked at him; his master, who had always been mysterious in his presence, now looked like a true old man, fully displaying his aged state.

He did not know if this was returning to simplicity or if this was his master's true state.

Seeing this, Chi Songzi could not help but be stunned, and only then did he speak: "Master, I heard that under your permission, that person has already stepped into the Heart Fasting Hall..."

"It is not just the Heart Fasting Hall; I have already persuaded Xiaoyaozi to allow him to enter the Human Sect's Qi Wu Pavilion!"

The Qi Wu Pavilion was the name of the Human Sect's library.

Chi Songzi's expression changed slightly upon hearing this; he had not expected that one Heart Fasting Hall was not enough, and that his master had even specially acted as a lobbyist for that person, allowing him to enter the Human Sect's library.

"Why?"

Chi Songzi did not understand.

Beimingzi spoke: "In your view, him entering the library and having numerous books opened to him might bring about a great disaster, but is that really the case?"

Chi Songzi was stunned.

Beimingzi continued: "When a person is already very powerful, even if he learns a few more things, the progress brought about is negligible. Conversely, if he were a weakling, letting him enter the library to read numerous classics at will would be the greatest trouble."

"Daoist arts can be passed on, but one must avoid abusing them!"

"Do you think he is a person who would abuse our Daoist arts?"

"Our Daoist arts, to a person whose cultivation has reached the pinnacle, actually do not have that much temptation."

"Furthermore, if he were truly interested in our Daoist classics, with his strength, it would be enough for him to easily sneak into the library to read them, and we might not know anything at all."

Chi Songzi was silent.

Even if he did not want to accept this reality, he had to admit that what his master said was true.

Su Xuan's strength was too great.

Although he was only at the Grandmaster Realm, he knew something about the mysteries of the Heaven-Man Realm; throughout the generations of the Daoist School, there had been no lack of experts at the Heaven-Man Realm.

Yet, among the numerous Daoist classics, there was no Heaven-Man who had reached Su Xuan's level.

His master, as an expert at the Heaven-Man level, had been defeated so easily in front of Su Xuan.

If he did not know this was his master and know his master's temperament, Chi Songzi would have suspected that Beimingzi had lost on purpose.

"Is this the strength of the Heaven-Man limit?"

Chi Songzi thought of the battle at the Guanmiao Terrace once again.

The strength Su Xuan revealed was a kind of power that was difficult to describe in words.

However, although he knew that the trouble of Su Xuan stepping into the library was not as great as he had imagined, Chi Songzi still did not understand why his master would agree to such a request from Su Xuan.

Beimingzi, as Chi Songzi's master, understood his disciple very well and knew he still had some questions, so he immediately gave the answer.

"I did all of this to redeem the Xueji Sword!"

Upon hearing this answer, a look of guilt immediately appeared on Chi Songzi's face.

The Xueji Sword was originally held by him; even though the previous Heaven-Man Sword Debate was to compete for the ownership of this sword, before the results of the battle between him and Xiaoyaozi came out, the owner of this sword was still him.

He needed to bear great responsibility for the Xueji Sword's debate.

It could be said that if the Daoist School truly had a conflict erupt because of the loss of the Xueji, he was the culprit behind it all.

Upon knowing that everything his master did was to redeem the Xueji.

Chi Songzi was extremely ashamed.

"Master..."

Looking at his increasingly aged teacher, Chi Songzi muttered to himself.

The Heart Fasting Hall was not large, and the Heaven Sect's classics were not many.

Originally, there were several Heaven Sect disciples cultivating inside, but because Su Xuan was to step inside to read the Heaven Sect's classics, all these disciples were withdrawn under Beimingzi's order.

Even if Beimingzi was not the Sect Master of the Heaven Sect, to tell the truth, his prestige in the Heaven Sect was actually even greater than that of the Sect Master, Chi Songzi.

Although many Heaven Sect disciples were somewhat puzzled about Beimingzi allowing Su Xuan to step into the Heart Fasting Hall, they did not express any attitude.

Master Beiming acting this way must have his reasons.

Su Xuan stayed alone in the Heart Fasting Hall, first glancing at the bamboo slips placed on the shelves.

Heaven and Earth Losing Color, Ten Thousand Rivers Autumn Water, Heart Like Still Water—many of the Heaven Sect's ultimate arts were all inside, but he did not read them at the first opportunity. These arts were top-tier ultimate arts in the martial arts world, but for Su Xuan, who was the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School, the temptation was not as great as imagined.

Within the Yin-Yang School, one could find many similar arts; some of these arts might not be as mysterious as these, but they could indeed be used to replace them.

Compared to various ultimate arts, what Su Xuan was more interested in was the Daoist School's "history books"!
