Chapter 644

The Daoist School had an extremely long heritage.

Although it took root at Nanshan and flourished only after the Dao Ancestor Lao Dan passed down the five thousand words of the Dao De Jing, if one were to investigate further, it could be traced back to the era of the Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan.

It could be said that in the world today, among the Hundred Schools of Thought.

Excluding the Agricultural School, the Daoist School had the longest heritage.

And the Agricultural School was far less prosperous than the Daoist School.

The prosperity of the Agricultural School was only a matter of recent years; in recent years, through constant recruitment of disciples, it was once extremely prosperous, but this prosperity was only temporary. Following Su Xuan stepping into the Agricultural School's main hall and destroying the Agricultural School with his own power, the Agricultural School declined because of this.

But the Daoist School was different.

Although it did not have as many disciples as the Agricultural School, from ancient times until now, it had almost never declined.

Among them, although two major changes occurred—such as five hundred years ago, when the Yin-Yang School separated from the Daoist School, and three hundred years ago, when the Dao split into Heaven and Man—even after experiencing these changes, the strength of the Daoist School remained extremely powerful, and it even had experts at the Heaven-Man level alive in every generation.

This was almost an unimaginable thing among the Hundred Schools of Thought.

One must know that even the Mohist School, which ranked among the best in the Hundred Schools of Thought, did not have experts at the Heaven-Man level.

The contemporary Confucian School also only had Xun Zi as a special case.

Although the Yin-Yang School also had experts at the Heaven-Man level, strictly speaking, the Yin-Yang School and the Daoist School shared the same source, which was enough to prove the profoundness of the Daoist School's heritage.

The more Su Xuan knew, the more interested he became in ancient matters.

Unfortunately, the Yin-Yang School's heritage was not long, only a few hundred years; wanting to trace the secrets of the ancient times was somewhat difficult.

In the Daoist School's library, besides numerous secret arts, there were extremely detailed records of those ancient secrets.

Su Xuan found these books, and after reading them, he understood more and more about the affairs of the ancient era.

At his realm, reading books could be described as reading ten lines at a glance, and he also possessed the ability to never forget what he had seen.
