A man in the Qin Dynasty changed the world by collecting entries.

"Of course! Ever since I lost to Mr. Bai Yuan, I have been practicing my swordsmanship even harder, not daring to slack off for even a day! Now, with this unprecedented martial arts tournament, it's the perfect opportunity to prove my strength!"

Chapter 226 Riding the Righteousness of Heaven and Earth, and Controlling the Six Qi

Seeing Ji Moyun's confident demeanor, Ji Mohuaxue didn't want to discourage him, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Brother, why did you come to the Taoist temple this time?"

Upon hearing this question, Ji Moyun scratched his head and said, "Actually, the King heard that our Ji Mo clan has some connection with Mr. Bai Yuan, so he sent me to come with Prince Sheng."

Ji Mo Huaxue nodded slightly, then asked with concern:

How are Father and Mother's health?

"Don't worry about that! Father and Mother are both in good health. It's just that Mother misses you a bit and often talks about you in front of us."

Ji Moyun said this.

Upon hearing this, Ji Mo Hua Xue's eyes also revealed a sense of longing.

"I almost forgot, I brought you a letter from your father and mother when I came to the Taoist temple this time."

Ji Moyun then slapped his forehead and took out two letters from his person.

It turned out to be a family letter written on blank paper. However, considering the good relationship between Jimoxi and Confucianism, it was not surprising that they could obtain blank paper from Confucianism.

Ji Mo Huaxue quickly took the letter and eagerly opened it to read it.

First, there was a letter from Ji Moxi, which was addressed not only to her but also to Bai Yuan.

The letter explained to them that King Qi sent Ji Moyun to the Taoist sect in order to gain some benefits through their relationship with Ji Mohuaxue. Ji Moxi told them not to worry about these feelings and to do what they should do.

Of course, Jimoxi also expressed his concern for Jimo Huaxue's recent situation in the letter.

The letter from Ji Mo Hua Xue's mother was quite different from that from Ji Mo Xi's; the entire letter was full of concern.

The thing she cared about most was how far Ji Mo Hua Xue and Bai Yuan's relationship had progressed. Ji Mo Hua Xue couldn't help but blush after reading it.

Ji Moyun stayed at Bai Yuan's place for a while, enjoying a free meal before reluctantly leaving.

He also understood that given his current status, it was not advisable to have too much contact with Bai Yuan and the others, otherwise it would cause them unnecessary trouble.

Time flies, and two days passed quickly, soon arriving at the day of the rendezvous between heaven and man.

On this day, the area around the Guanmiao Terrace of Taiyi Palace was very lively. In addition to the disciples of the Tianren and Tianren sects, experts from various forces were also here to watch the Tianren Covenant held once every five years.

The leaders of the Heavenly Sect, Chisongzi, and the Human Sect, Xiaoyaozi, stepped onto the Guanmiao Platform. Instead of immediately engaging in combat, they clasped their hands and bowed towards the direction of the Taiyi Palace.

At this moment, an obscure and incomprehensible feeling permeated the space, and the people who were chatting all fell silent.

Everyone couldn't help but look towards the main hall of Taiyi Palace.

Sunlight pierced through the clouds and fell, and through the refraction of light and shadow, a figure appeared out of thin air.

"Welcome, Master (Uncle-Master)!"

Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi both called out respectfully.

In a flash, the figure arrived at the Guanmiao Platform.

The Taoist disciples, including Bai Yuan, all bowed in respect.

At this moment, everyone recognized the man's identity: Bei Mingzi, the most senior member of the Taoist community!

"It's actually Master Beiming!"

"My goodness! Being able to meet Master Beiming makes our trip worthwhile!"

People from all the major factions stared wide-eyed, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

Mo Family Six

The Black Knight, the Yin-Yang School's Dongjun, the Moon Goddess, and other experts from various forces all looked at Bei Mingzi with solemn expressions.

"Is this state of being what is known as the unity of man and nature?"

Even though Bei Mingzi was standing right in front of them, they couldn't sense his presence at all.

Bei Mingzi slowly opened his eyes, looked at everyone present, and nodded slightly.

"Once every five years, a covenant between heaven and man, the victor shall command the snow after it has cleared!"

With these words from Bei Mingzi, the covenant between heaven and man officially began.

Before the duel between Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi, the disciples of the Taoist Tianren sect first engaged in a martial arts contest and debate on the Tao.

Bai Yuan wasn't interested in this part at all. After all, he had seen countless such debates over the years, and each time it was just the same old things, which he could even recite by heart.

Ultimately, it devolved into proving who was right through force.

The duels between these ordinary disciples are not particularly interesting; only those who have never witnessed the Covenant between Heaven and Man would be interested.

Whether by coincidence or design, the final result was that the disciples of the Celestial and Human Sects basically had victories and defeats.

Soon, the disciples' discussion came to an end, and the covenant between heaven and man reached its truly crucial point.

Upon seeing Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi take the stage, Bai Yuan, who had been feeling rather bored, immediately perked up.

Without needing many words, Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi made their moves simultaneously.

Chisongzi made his move with effortless ease, standing still and waving his right hand to unleash his sword control technique, sending Xueji soaring into the air.

Xiaoyaozi was naturally not to be outdone. He gently stroked the sword with his left hand, and a phantom image of a Taiji diagram flickered. Golden Taoist runes immediately appeared on the sword.

With a light tap of his foot, he swiftly flew towards Xueji.

He raised his sword to block, then with a flick of his wrist, drew a sword flower, using the opponent's force against them, and actually sent Xue Ji flying back.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and many people didn't even see how Xiaoyaozi had just neutralized Chisongzi's attack.

Chisongzi was not disappointed at all despite his failed attack. He recalled Xueji and made a hand seal with one hand, and a bright blue Bagua Taiji diagram appeared in his hand.

As he swung the Snowfall Sword, three Snowfall Swords were left in the air.

This made everyone's eyes widen in surprise.

"Am I seeing things? How come there are so many Snow Clear?"

"No, only the Snow Clearing in his hand is real; the others are just illusions he conjured with his internal energy. But even so, their power should not be underestimated. The conjured Snow Clearing has at least 70% of the original's power."

Nan Gong squinted and explained to the Yin Yang School members.

"go with!"

Chisongzi let out a soft shout, waved his sword, and then three snow-white swords he conjured with his inner force flew out simultaneously, attacking Xiaoyaozi from three different directions.

Xiaoyaozi's eyes narrowed, and he used his lightness skill to dodge and weave.

With each step he took on the ground, a Tai Chi Bagua diagram would flash on the ground.

Suddenly, golden Taoist scriptures shot out from the ground like iron chains, locking the three internal energy flying swords controlled by Chisongzi so that they could not move.

Xiaoyaozi raised a finger in front of him and softly shouted, "Break!"

The Daoist lock tightened suddenly, shattering the Snow Clearing Sword formed from Chisongzi's internal energy.

At this moment, on the Guanmiao Platform, the half of the field where Xiaoyaozi stood was shrouded in countless golden Taoist scripture characters, and an invisible wind blew his sleeves, making them flutter.

"I never imagined that someone from the Taoist school would actually succeed in cultivating such a secret technique!"

When Nan Gong saw it, he was also quite surprised. He didn't expect that Xiaoyaozi had even learned such martial arts.

"Master Nan, what secret technique?"

Yanfei and the Moon Goddess couldn't help but ask curiously.

"The so-called 'riding the righteousness of heaven and earth and controlling the six qi' is a unique secret technique mentioned by Zhuangzi, a top Taoist master, in 'Free and Easy Wandering.' For hundreds of years, almost no Taoist has successfully cultivated it. It is said that through this method, one can control the six qi of yin, yang, wind, rain, darkness, and light, and roam freely in the endless realms without relying on external objects. This covenant between heaven and man is indeed extremely interesting!"

Chapter 227 The Covenant Between Heaven and Man Ends, the Martial Arts Tournament is About to Begin

Xiaoyaozi's sudden display of skill opened everyone's eyes.

Especially after Master Nan gave his explanation, many people who still didn't understand exclaimed in surprise.

Beside Bai Yuan, Ningyan and Jimo Huaxue asked with some concern, "Is the secret technique that Xiaoyaozi used really that powerful?"

Bai Yuan nodded gently.

"【Controlling the Six Qi】is one of the most profound martial arts of the Taoist sect. It is said that if you master it to the highest level, you can indeed do what Master Nan said."

"Then wouldn't your senior brother be in danger?"

"No, that's not the case. This martial art is not easy to master. As far as I know, no one in the family has been able to master it to the highest level."

Bai Yuan smiled.

On the Guanmiao Platform, Chisongzi looked at Xiaoyaozi with a solemn expression.

Xiaoyaozi's performance was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations. Although he had told Xiaoyaozi before that he would use the Covenant between Heaven and Man to demonstrate the strength of Taoism, he never expected that he would be the one who was almost frightened.

Fortunately, he was quite knowledgeable and quickly regained his composure.

Chisongzi held Xueji horizontally in front of him and flicked the sword lightly. An invisible internal force quickly enveloped the entire Guanmiao Platform.

For a moment, it seemed as if the Guanmiao Terrace was isolated from the rest of the world, turning into black and white.

Another Taoist secret technique—the world loses its color!

For a time, those golden Taoist scriptures seemed to show signs of collapsing.

The technique used by Chishongzi to eclipse the world is almost entirely different from the techniques used by others.

Others might be very effective against minor enemies, but they are almost useless against those with profound internal strength.

However, Chisongzi's loss of color caused Xiaoyaozi to feel a stagnation in the flow of his internal energy.

This would have been absolutely impossible five years ago.

Let alone five years ago, even a year ago, Xiaoyaozi wouldn't have felt such immense pressure.

However, in that year, Bai Yuan gave Chi Songzi a cheat code. Although Chi Songzi failed to break through to the realm of unity between heaven and man, under the effect of the Qi Nourishing Pill and the Spirit Gathering Pill, his internal strength became more and more profound.

Xiaoyaozi also has Qi-Nourishing Pills, but compared to Chisongzi, who can eat Qi-Nourishing Pills like candy, how many can he use each month?

This is how the gap becomes apparent.
