Chapter 114 Discussing the Dao, Xiaomeng
Chapter 114 Discussing the Dao, Xiaomeng
"What business does the Eastern Emperor Pavilion have with my Mount Taiyi?"
It was Chishongzi who broke the atmosphere by speaking first.
Bei Mingzi, however, kept his gaze on the girl not far away.
The moment he saw her, he was amazed by her exceptional talent and the innate aura of Daoist wisdom emanating from her.
Good seedling!
To be honest, Bei Mingzi was immediately smitten and wanted to take him as a disciple.
However, the immediate problem must be solved. The Yin-Yang School's Donghuang has personally arrived at Mount Taiyi, and if this is not handled properly, it could lead to a major disaster.
"I have come here for two reasons, one of which is to have a discussion with a Taoist master."
Feiyan slowly spoke, explaining her purpose.
Then she added, "Secondly, of course we should wait until the discussion is over before discussing it further."
"Discussing the Dao?"
Chisongzi and Beimingzi exchanged a glance.
The two men's expressions grew increasingly serious; as expected, the visitors were up to no good.
How should we discuss the Way?
Chisongzi asked again.
"No rush, there's one more person. Aren't you coming out?"
Feiyan smiled faintly.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a figure appeared and floated over.
"Your Excellency Donghuang, Xiaoyaozi greets you."
The newcomer was none other than Xiaoyaozi of the Human Sect.
"Everyone is here."
"Then let's get started."
As soon as Fei Yan finished speaking, she waved her hand, and the surrounding scenery immediately changed drastically.
A vast starry sky appeared before everyone's eyes, as if they were in the deep universe.
Chishongzi's expression changed slightly as he looked around at the scene with surprise and uncertainty.
It's not an illusion, but a special method.
"Good means."
Bei Mingzi exclaimed in surprise, looking at Fei Yan warily.
"His Majesty the Eastern Emperor's methods are admirable."
Xiaoyaozi smiled slightly and gave a word of praise.
"sit!"
Fei Yan smiled slightly, and then starlight gathered and transformed into a throne, which she then sat down on.
On the opposite side, starlight converged in front of Chisongzi and Beimingzi, transforming into three seats.
The three exchanged a glance and then sat down one after another.
Meanwhile, the white-haired girl, holding a wooden sword, looked in surprise at the seat that had appeared in front of her.
She glanced at Feiyan, then sat down gracefully.
"Let's begin. As Taoist masters, please go first."
Feiyan raised her hand, gesturing for the two of them to go first.
Chisongzi did not refuse, but directly and decisively released his cultivation.
Boom~
An aura permeated the air, and the Daoist principles flowed through it.
"Harmony between humanity and nature!"
Chisongzi sat there, seemingly merging into the starry sky.
"There is a fish in the Northern Sea!"
Bei Mingzi exuded a powerful aura, with a giant fish faintly appearing behind him, swimming freely in the sea of stars.
On the other side, Xiaoyaozi smiled slightly.
"Getaway!"
Xiaoyaozi held nothing back and showed his true abilities.
This time, I'm sure I'll lose face in this debate.
Even though we were defeated, we cannot lose face.
"Tao gives birth to one thing and creates all things."
Feiyan slowly spoke, and a chaotic scene unfolded behind her.
"From the boundless comes the ultimate, from yin and yang the five elements—"
As soon as the words were spoken, chaos unfolded behind them, and two forces, one black and one white, intertwined and transformed into a Tai Chi diagram.
Boom~!
Then, Yin and Yang evolved into the Five Elements, and the power of the Five Elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) converged and swirled around the crimson smoke.
A powerful pressure emanated, enveloping the minds of Chisongzi, Beimingzi, and Xiaoyaozi.
This is a concept of Tao, a collision and contest of Tao.
It is also a manifestation of personal understanding.
"What a brilliant concept of Yin and Yang transforming into the Five Elements!"
Chisongzi remained silent after reading it.
After a long while, he sighed and said, "This humble Taoist has lost, Your Majesty the Eastern Emperor has won."
Chisongzi conceded defeat.
Bei Mingzi, standing to the side, looked solemn, while Xiaoyaozi had also lost his earlier ease.
The two exchanged a glance and became serious.
"Join forces to break her Yin-Yang and Five Elements."
Bei Mingzi and Xiaoyaozi simultaneously unleashed a burst of power.
The two joined forces and surprisingly broke through the constraints and blockades of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.
Fei Yan smiled slightly, flipped her palm, and grabbed at the void.
"Wind, rain, thunder, and lightning! Urgent!"
Boom~~
First, a thunderclap exploded.
Then came howling winds, torrential rain, and bolts of lightning.
Thunder gathered and enveloped the entire starry sky.
At this moment, Bei Mingzi and Xiaoyaozi were stunned.
Facing countless thunderbolts, that majestic divine might seemed to confront the heavens directly.
A sense of powerlessness washed over them.
"Still human?"
Chishongzi shook his head with a wry smile, amazed by Feiyan's methods.
This is no longer the work of an ordinary person.
Controlling wind and rain, manipulating thunder and lightning, are already the methods of immortals.
I'm just a martial artist, and you expect me to fight someone who cultivates immortality?
"Lost!"
"Your Excellency Donghuang is no ordinary man; we are filled with admiration."
Bei Mingzi and Xiaoyaozi both stopped fighting; there was no point in continuing.
Losing would be even more embarrassing, so it's better to just admit defeat and be more decisive.
Feiyan nodded slightly. The Yin-Yang School originated from Taoism and separated from it.
So strictly speaking, they both belong to Taoism, only their philosophies are different.
"It's funny."
Feiyan nodded, waved her hand, and everything around her disappeared. The starry sky receded, and all kinds of power vanished.
Once everyone recovered, they remained standing at the foot of Mount Taiyi.
It was as if they had just experienced a dream, but they knew it was definitely not a dream.
It was through some unknown means that Fei Yan brought them into a certain domain.
"We admire Your Majesty's strength. May we ask what the second matter is?"
Bei Mingzi performed a Taoist salute and asked the question.
Feiyan then spoke up, "The second thing is to invite three Taoist masters to join the Hundred Schools Academy to spread Taoist ideas."
"The Hundred Schools of Thought?"
The three exchanged surprised glances.
I've never heard of it, and I'm a little confused.
Feiyan explained, "The Hundred Schools Academy is an academy that I proposed to the King of Qin to establish. It will accommodate the various schools of thought and allow the ideas of each school to be disseminated within the academy."
"Only in this way can we encourage diverse schools of thought, promote innovation, and ensure that our ideas are passed down from generation to generation."
After hearing these words, the three Taoist masters understood.
This is an attempt to consolidate the power of the various schools of thought.
The three people's expressions changed slightly, and they exchanged surprised and suspicious glances.
They didn't rush to answer.
Bei Mingzi asked a question: "What would happen if I didn't join the Hundred Schools Academy?"
Feiyan smiled upon hearing this and calmly said, "Not joining won't make a difference; it will just mean being abandoned by the tides of time and eventually disappearing into the long river of history."
"..."
That statement carried a hint of threat.
The underlying meaning is that if you don't join, you will be wiped out, but whether that's true or not is unknown.
In any case, Fei Yan wanted to unite the strength of all the schools of thought to contribute to the Qin Dynasty.
Let the various schools of thought compete healthily, contributing to the Qin Dynasty and leaving behind a more valuable legacy for humanity.
This further enhanced the brilliance of the various schools of thought in ancient China.
Perhaps by pooling the resources of all the schools of thought, we could truly elevate the Qin Dynasty to another level and create an immortal Qin Dynasty.
"So, have you made up your mind?"
Feiyan asked calmly.
She began by reminding everyone: "The Hundred Schools Academy will have one dean, with me serving as the first dean for the time being. There will also be two vice deans and eighteen chief deans, who will be chosen based on their abilities. They can take on disciples and spread the ideas of various schools of thought within the Hundred Schools Academy."
"really?"
Xiaoyaozi, Beimingzi, and the other two's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Well, that's what's truly captivating.
It is now a foregone conclusion that the Qin state will complete the unification of China.
If the King of Qin had actually established a hundred academies, the situation would have been quite different.
They could use the power of the Qin state to spread their ideas; not joining would be unacceptable, or they would be purged.
"We Taoists have joined the Hundred Schools of Thought Academy."
Chisongzi, Beimingzi, and Xiaoyaozi exchanged glances.
All three made their decision to join the Hundred Schools Academy.
This is a good thing.
"Alright, welcome to the three of you. Go find the King of Qin and ask him for a vice-dean position."
After finishing her sentence, Fei Yan prepared to gracefully depart.
"and many more!"
Just then, a clear voice rang out.
Feiyan stopped and looked over in surprise.
Bei Mingzi's heart skipped a beat, and he knew something was wrong.
Sure enough, the white-haired girl walked up and solemnly bowed.
"I want to become your disciple."
The girl asked directly to become his apprentice.
"Oh, why?"
Feiyan asked with a smile, "There are three Taoist masters here. Didn't you want to go up Mount Taiyi to become their disciples?"
"You are stronger."
The girl answered seriously.
These words made Bei Mingzi and the other two blush with embarrassment.
"Alright, since you want to become my disciple, then follow me."
Fei Yan glanced at Bei Mingzi, then agreed to the girl's request to become her disciple.
They came to her of their own accord; it's none of her business.
"Yes, Master!"
The girl bowed obediently and followed, carrying the wooden sword.
"I'll take my leave now."
Feiyan nodded to Chisongzi and Beimingzi.
Swish!
After saying that, she took the girl's hand and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing before the three of them.
"Alas, we missed out on a promising talent."
Bei Mingzi sighed with a look of frustration.
"It's not exactly a missed opportunity."
Chisongzi, however, seemed to be thinking and said, "The Yin-Yang School is, after all, a branch of the Daoist School. They just have different philosophies, but in essence, they are still Daoists."
"That young girl might go further if she became the disciple of this mysterious Eastern Emperor."
Upon hearing this, Bei Mingzi could only sigh to himself.
He missed out on a good disciple.
"I have just gained some insight and will now return to seclusion."
After saying that, Xiaoyaozi vanished in a flash.
"The old Taoist priest also gained some insight."
Chisongzi and Beimingzi exchanged a smile, each having gained a different insight.
Therefore, this discussion was actually the most rewarding for the three of them.
The three of them gained a great deal from directly seeing and feeling the Daoist techniques displayed by Fei Yan.
It's safe to say that his cultivation level has broken through and his strength has greatly increased.
