Chapter 583: 320 Taiyi_2

Fang Zhixing curiously asked, "What cultivation techniques do the disciples of your sect mainly practice?"

Lian Quan’s gaze flickered slightly, clearly somewhat surprised.

The heritage of the Taiyi Sect’s profound teachings was famous throughout the world.

It would be inconceivable for an envoy of the Five Elements Sect to be unaware of this.

Was it intentional?

Regardless, she maintained her composure and explained meticulously, "The cultivation technique passed down in our Taiyi Sect is the ’Taiyi Sword Technique.’ It serves as the foundation from which we have branched out, giving rise to seven ultimate studies, with the disciples of each peak inheriting one lineage."

"The seven ultimate studies are, in order, the ’Taiyi Splitting Light Sword,’ ’Taiyi Yin Yang Technique,’ ’Taiyi Thunder Gang,’ ’Taiyi Breakthrough,’ ’Taiyi Seven Stars Sword,’ ’Taiyi Divine Talisman,’ ’Taiyi Ghost Path.’

Fang Zhixing marveled with a tsk-tsk, growing even more curious, "Which technique is the strongest?"

Lian Quan smiled and said, "Each of the seven ultimate studies has its own characteristics. It’s not appropriate to broadly declare one stronger or weaker.

Honestly, each of the seven peaks has seen the emergence of peerless geniuses who cultivated their respective ultimate study to its apex, dominating their era for hundreds of years."

Fang Zhixing nodded continuously in agreement and replied, "Hmm, the technique also depends on the individual. When the right person finds the right technique, they can indeed help each other achieve greatness!"

Hearing this, Lian Quan found Fang Zhixing to be quite forthright, and her suspicion deepened slightly.

However, she did not ask anything further.

During their conversation, Bai He landed outside a grand hall.

"This way, please."

Lian Quan jumped down from Bai He’s back and led the way into the grand hall.

Fang Zhixing followed her step by step.

Xigou, however, stopped, its dog eyes filled with murderous intent as it stared at Bai He and let out a low growl from its throat.

Fang Zhixing stepped into the hall, raising his head to see the grand and majestic interior.

At that moment, there were eight figures inside the hall.

Seated on a chair facing south was an elderly man clad in a purple Daoist robe, with white hair as if a child’s and an imposing presence despite his calmness.

Also seated were seven men and women clad in golden Daoist robes, of varying ages.

Lian Quan stepped forward and greeted, "Sect Master, seven Peak Masters, I have brought the Envoy An Baopu from the Five Elements Sect."

Immediately, the eight individuals turned their gazes on Fang Zhixing, scrutinizing him closely.

Fang Zhixing bowed casually and said with a smile, "It’s an honor to meet the Sect Master and the seven Peak Masters."

The Taiyi Sect Master nodded his head in greeting with a smile.

All seven Peak Masters stood up and returned the gesture with a cupped fist salute.

Fang Zhixing took out a brocade box and said with a smile, "This was specially entrusted to me by the Xuanwu Sect Master, a small token. Please accept it with kindness."

"Your thoughtfulness is appreciated."

The Taiyi Sect Master stroked his beard, smiled, and nodded at Lian Quan.

Lian Quan immediately came forward, solemnly receiving the brocade box with both hands and then standing next to the Taiyi Sect Master.

The Taiyi Sect Master looked at Fang Zhixing and expressed his surprise, "Fellow An, you look quite pale. Are you injured?"

Upon this inquiry,

Lian Quan gazed deeply at Fang Zhixing; she had wanted to ask the question herself.

Fang Zhixing simply smiled and responded, "It’s just fatigue from travel, nothing serious."

Hearing this, the Taiyi Sect Master did not press further but inquired, "For this Buddhist assembly, is the Five Elements Sect only sending you to participate?"

Fang Zhixing nodded and said, "It’s just me."

The Taiyi Sect Master understood and did not inquire further, instructing, "Lian Quan, you take Fellow An to rest and make sure he is well taken care of."

"Understood!"

Lian Quan acknowledged and then led Fang Zhixing away.

The hall returned to silence.

After a moment, the Taiyi Sect Master looked at the seven Peak Masters and asked, "What do you all think?"

The seven Peak Masters exchanged glances.

An old man with a white beard spoke, "For this Buddhist event, Wanfa Temple is taking the lead, backed by the Emperor’s support, apparently aiming to exalt Buddhism to a divine status.

If things go as expected, Buddhism will, in front of the whole world, challenge our Taoist and Confucian experts to showcase their martial virtue. We absolutely cannot lose!"

As he said this, his brows furrowed and he spread his hands, "Given the gravity of the situation, our Taoist sect should take this seriously, unite, and face it together. But what is the Five Elements Sect thinking?

They’ve actually only sent one person to fight, and it seems that person might even be injured!"

The others couldn’t help but nod repeatedly, sharing the sentiment.

The Five Elements Sect is being irresponsible!

This is child’s play!

One couldn’t help but add, "I had previously speculated that the Five Elements Sect would send at least one Peak Master to battle."

Another agreed emphatically, nodding, "With Buddhism coveting our territory with ill intent, we must present a strong front with Peak Master-level figures and must not let them get too arrogant."

The Taiyi Sect Master listened before suddenly asking, "Do any of you know An Baopu?"

The seven Peak Masters looked at each other and replied in unison, "We’ve never heard of him before; this person has never been mentioned in the Five Elements Sect."

The Taiyi Sect Master slowly said, "I am also surprised; I didn’t expect the Xuanwu Sect Master to send someone completely unknown to us into battle."

The old man with the white beard thought for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Oh right, didn’t the Sect Master of Jing Ming Sect visit Dai State recently? Why don’t we ask him for information?"

The Taiyi Sect Master nodded.

With permission granted, the white-bearded elder didn’t hesitate, pulled out a talisman, and gestured with a pinch.

Whoosh~

The talisman suddenly ignited, releasing a puff of blue smoke that coalesced without dispersing.

Soon after, a blurry figure appeared in the smoke, wearing a Yin Yang Daoist robe, appearing to be around sixty years old.

The white-bearded elder laughed heartily, "Jing Ming you old scoundrel, you’re still not dead?"

"Tsk!"

The man in the Yin Yang Daoist robe flicked his sleeve and stood with his hands behind his back, retorting, "I’m quite tenacious. You’ll be dead and I’ll still be standing."

The white-bearded elder waved his hand dismissively, "Enough with the small talk, I have something important to ask you."

The man in the Yin Yang Daoist robe answered, "Is it good news or bad? You’re not trying to trick me again, are you?"

The white-bearded elder rolled his eyes and asked directly, "An Baopu, have you heard of him?"

The man in the Yin Yang Daoist robe was visibly shaken and said with a smack of his tongue, "How come, have you heard of him too?"
