Chapter 650

~6 min read 1,124 words

Su Xuan was very strong, but in the end, he was human; Su Xuan could reach this realm and possess such strength, so she must also be able to.

The sword technique Su Xuan taught her made her strength a little stronger, and it was also possible that this bit of increased strength would become the decisive factor in her fight with Su Xuan in the future.

Therefore, Facing Xiaomeng said such a sentence.

Su Xuan, who had already left this place, did not know what Facing Xiaomeng was thinking in her heart, and even if he knew, he would not care.

His gaze had never been placed on this world, on this martial arts world.

This world was too small, and this martial arts world was even smaller compared to the whole world.

The so-called Hundred Schools of Thought and martial arts sects, in Su Xuan's eyes, were just a group of people sitting in a well and looking at the sky.

They thought the Heaven-Man Realm was the highest realm, not knowing that the so-called Heaven-Man, placed in the myriad worlds of the heavens that were like the sands of the Ganges, did not even count as an ant, and did not even count as a grain of dust in the sea.

Whether they lived or died, no one cared.

After staying at the Heaven Sect for a few days, Su Xuan went to the place where the Human Sect was located.

The one who came to welcome Su Xuan and lead the way for Su Xuan was the Human Sect's Sect Master, Xiaoyaozi.

Xiaoyaozi's expression was serious; the specific pros and cons had already been told to him by Beimingzi earlier.

Although letting Su Xuan step into the Human Sect's library might cause some dissatisfaction among the Human Sect's disciples, as long as the Xueji Sword could be exchanged back, it could be considered worth it.

Xiaoyaozi, as the Human Sect's Sect Master, even if he cared very much about the feelings of his disciples, as the Human Sect's Sect Master, he cared even more about the entire Daoist School.

For the sake of the Daoist School, he could spare nothing.

Even if many disciples in the Human Sect were people of a perished nation and harbored resentment toward the Qin Guo, it was fine if they just kept this resentment in their hearts; if they dared to take action against Su Xuan and provoke Su Xuan, subsequently causing the Daoist School to fall into an unfavorable situation.

As the Human Sect's Sect Master, he would not mind taking action himself to kill that person.

Even if that person had once been his most beloved disciple.

But all of this was for the Daoist School!

"This is the Human Sect's library; I have also had the disciples inside come out in advance, and at this moment, it is empty inside."

Arriving before a simple pavilion, Xiaoyaozi spoke indifferently.

"The name of your Human Sect's library is somewhat strange; I thought it would correspond to the Heaven Sect's Heart Fasting Hall!" Su Xuan glanced at the plaque on the pavilion before him and spoke indifferently.

The Human Sect's library was named "Qi Wu Pavilion," while the Heaven Sect's library was called "Heart Fasting Hall"!

These two names were not only asymmetrical in literal meaning, but even the number of characters was asymmetrical.

"This is the name given by the ancestor Zhuang Zhou."

Xiaoyaozi explained.

Qi Wu, literally, meant to make all things grow evenly. And derived into philosophical thought, it meant that all things in the universe, such as life and death, longevity and premature death, right and wrong, gain and loss, self and other, existence and non-existence, should all be treated equally.

Su Xuan looked at this strange plaque of the Human Sect's library a few more times, and then, under Xiaoyaozi's gaze, stepped inside.

Xiaoyaozi watched Su Xuan step into the library, his expression immediately becoming serious, and then, he quietly guarded outside.

In the Human Sect, there were many people who harbored resentment toward the Qin Guo; earlier on the Guanmiao Terrace, Su Xuan even forcibly compelled the Daoist School to take sides, which further stimulated the hatred in the hearts of many people of the Human Sect, making them remember the perishing of their home nation.

During the few days Su Xuan stayed at the Heaven Sect, Xiaoyaozi could very keenly feel the changes in the state of mind of some Human Sect disciples; he wanted to speak to persuade the other party to give up hatred.

However, when the words reached his lips, he did not know how to say them.

Wanting others to give up the hatred of a perished nation—how difficult it was!

If hatred were really so easy to give up, the entire Daoist Human Sect would likely have everyone attain the Dao.

Also because hatred was hard to eliminate, therefore, after Su Xuan stepped into the Human Sect, he had to guard here at all times.

To prevent anyone from doing unwise things.

The Human Sect's library was much simpler than the Heaven Sect's library; this was Su Xuan's first feeling after stepping inside. It was not strange; three hundred years ago, the Dao split into Heaven and Man, but strictly speaking, the main body of the Daoist School was still the Heaven Sect. The Heaven Sect was the oldest main branch of the Daoist School, while the Human Sect could be considered as opening a new path on the original road. The only difference was that the Human Sect did not rebel from the Daoist School like the Yin-Yang School.

Also because of this, the Human Sect's foundation was not as good as the Heaven Sect's, and even after having differences with the Heaven Sect, it was suppressed by the Heaven Sect for many years, until the sudden appearance of Zhuang Zhou changed this pattern.

Zhuang Zhou was a stunningly talented genius.

Many of the books in this Human Sect library had his annotations, and he even wrote down his own insights.

It could be said that it was he alone who raised the entire Human Sect to a height that did not belong to it.

Su Xuan flipped through the books inside at will.

After finishing reading a piece of "Xiaoyao You," his gaze fell behind a bookshelf.

"Come out; you have likely been hiding here for a long time!"

"Let me think, why are you hiding here? Is it for me? You hate me very much!"

Su Xuan spoke indifferently.

As his voice came out, a sword suddenly thrust out, attacking Su Xuan.

This sword was fast, containing a sense of determination; the killing intent enveloped Su Xuan's whole body.
