The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

Although Fu Nian was a gentleman, a gentleman believed in non-contention and generally persuaded others with reason, rarely taking the initiative to fight, being a gentleman did not mean one could be bullied. His voice was slightly cold, "Mr. Jiang, please be careful with your words!"

Jiang Chuan, however, seemed unconcerned.

Fu Nian sensed the other party's attitude, pondered for a while, and then looked around at the Confucian students not far away. He seemed to think that if the stalemate continued like this, it might cause a bigger commotion.

If possible, Fu Nian would naturally prefer to avoid a major conflict and settle things peacefully, but when faced with someone as unreasonable as Jiang Chuan, he had no choice but to fight back.

Fu Nian said in a deep voice, "This is not the place for sparring. If Mr. Jiang really wants to spar, let's find another place!"

Jiang Chuan said, "Master Fu Nian is the master of this place, so I will naturally follow Master Fu Nian's lead."

If you really follow my advice, wouldn't it be better to just honestly give up on seeking battle?

Fu Nian inwardly grumbled, but he also knew that this situation was obviously impossible.

Jiang Chuan is an extremely warlike person.

So he took Jiang Chuan to the kendo hall inside Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

Yan Lu followed quietly from behind.

Looking at the name of the kendo hall, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but say, "It seems that you, Master Fu Nian, have practiced swordsmanship quite a bit and sparred with each other in the past. There is even a kendo hall in this Little Sage Village."

"I have to take back what I said before. Xiaoshengxianzhuang is not the peaceful place I imagined."

Fu Nian remained silent.

The two arrived at the kendo dojo.

Jiang Chuan then took the initiative to say to Fu Nian, "Sect Leader Fu Nian, please!"

Fu Nian didn't stand on ceremony either, and then drew the longsword he always carried.

As a famous sword of Confucianism, the Tai'a Sword looks ordinary and simple, but after the sword was drawn, Jiang Chuan felt a heavy aura filling the vastness of heaven and earth.

An aura of solemnity and majesty gathered and descended upon Fu Nian.

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but think of the rumors. According to the rumors, Fu Nian studied the Tai'a Sword and created the Holy King Sword Technique.

The so-called Holy King Sword Technique should be a derivative of the power within the Tai'a Sword.

Sages are born, kings achieve; all originate from one!

Taking Heaven as the ancestor, virtue as the foundation, and the Way as the gateway, and observing changes, one is called a sage. Taking benevolence as grace, righteousness as principle, propriety as conduct, and music as harmony, one is naturally compassionate and benevolent, and is called a gentleman!

After Fu Nian drew his Tai'a sword, Jiang Chuan immediately drew the longsword he had been carrying on his back.

In the bamboo grove hermitage, Jiang Chuan exchanged sparring techniques with Xunzi, but did not draw his sword.

At this moment, facing the Tai'a sword, he could have chosen not to draw his sword, but that would have seemed too arrogant. Therefore, he ultimately decided to use the sword.

Unlike the Tai'a Sword, which is a famous sword in the world, Jiang Chuan's sword is extremely ordinary. It is just a long sword that can be seen anywhere by the roadside, and it is not a famous sword.

Chapter 296 Confucian Swordplay

However, Fu Nian did not underestimate Jiang Chuan just because the sword in Jiang Chuan's hand was an ordinary sword.

He suddenly made his move, brandishing the Tai'a sword in his hand, just like a man of great talent and ambition, using the sword in his hand to traverse the heavens and earth, and to command all things in the world.

The sword gleamed brightly.

Jiang Chuan also swung his sword to meet Fu Nian's sword.

Unlike the solemn, grand, and rule-bound sword of Fu Nian, Jiang Chuan's sword is leisurely and free-spirited, seemingly extremely casual. However, such swordplay also possesses a unique beauty.

As the only bystander, Yan Lu was naturally able to see the difference.

If Senior Brother Fu Nian's sword techniques aim to rule the world and establish rules for it, then Jiang Chuan's sword is one with the world and its mountains and rivers, a natural sword that comes from and returns to the world.

"Truly remarkable!"

Yan Lu sighed inwardly.

Seeing his sword moves blocked one by one by Jiang Chuan, Fu Nian developed a new impression of Jiang Chuan. Although Jiang Chuan had seemed somewhat aggressive before, he was indeed very powerful.

Fu Nian unleashed his sword techniques once more, wielding the Tai'a sword with immense power surging forth as he explained his swordplay to Jiang Chuan.

"Mr. Jiang, you know that my sword technique is called the Saint King Sword Technique. It was created by me after studying the ancient sages' classics. The entire sword technique can be divided into two parts: inner sage and outer king. It also has eight chapters with a total of seventy-two moves. The eight chapters are: investigating things, extending knowledge, making one's will sincere, rectifying one's mind, cultivating oneself, regulating one's family, governing the state, and bringing peace to the world. Among them, investigating things, extending knowledge, making one's will sincere, rectifying one's mind, and cultivating oneself are regarded as the work of inner sage, while regulating one's family, governing the state, and bringing peace to the world are regarded as the work of outer king."

The sword gleamed, possessing both the majesty of the kingly way and the profound mystery of the holy way, as it attacked Jiang Chuan, while Fu Nian continued to speak.

Even though this battle was not Fumin's original intention, he was still a gentleman, and even if he wanted to win, he wanted to let his opponent know why he lost.

As for revealing the secret of one's Holy King Sword Technique to the opponent, without the corresponding magnanimity, even if the complete Holy King Sword Technique is placed in front of the opponent, they will not be able to learn it.

The Holy King Sword Technique is not about the sword moves, but about the intention to cultivate oneself, manage one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world!

In addition, this sword technique was created based on the vast power within the Tai'a Sword, and it is his own path.

You can be similar to him, but you absolutely cannot imitate him.

Moreover, to fully unleash the power of the Holy King Sword Technique, one must have the Tai'a Sword.

As Jiang Chuan listened to Fu Nian's story, his eyes flickered, and his sword never stopped. With each swing, starlight flew out, sometimes like a gentle spring rain, sometimes like the scorching summer sun, sometimes like the soft autumn wind, and sometimes like the biting cold winter.

At the home of the chivalrous peasant leader Tian Guang, Jiang Chuan observed his Four Seasons Sword Technique, learned about the changes of the four seasons, comprehended the principles of Yin and Yang, and then innovated upon it, transforming the Four Seasons Sword Technique into his own.

At this moment, in front of Fu Nian, he immediately displayed what he had learned.

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter—the four seasons cycle, withering and flourishing, life and death—all are natural changes.

Even though Fu Nian's Saint King Sword Technique has extremely high ideals, the four seasons of nature are part of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. The so-called Saint King Sword Technique still cannot transcend Heaven and Earth itself, and it is still limited.

Fu Nian's swordsmanship was exquisite, yet Jiang Chuan managed to break through it all.

Fu Nian also realized this.

He was somewhat shaken.

Jiang Chuan's swordsmanship was more exquisite than he had imagined. Thus, in a flash of thought, he used the killing move from the Saint King Sword Technique.

Confucius said: "Governing with virtue is like the North Star, which remains in its place while all the other stars revolve around it."

In the "Holy King Sword Technique," this move is called "Like the North Star"!

The North Star belongs to emperors and is of immeasurable nobility!

In addition, the Big Dipper governs death, which is also the most powerful killing move in the Holy King Sword Technique. With a swing of the sword, the sword of pacification is like the North Star in the sky, also known as the North Star. The sword light is dazzling, and the vast power falls from the nine heavens, intending to wipe out the four seasons of the human world. No, it should be said that it will dominate the rise and fall of all things in the human world.

After Jiang Chuan sensed the essence of Fu Nian's sword strike, his eyes brightened.

As expected, choosing to spar with Fu Nian was the right decision.

Although Fu Nian has not yet reached the level he reached when he sparred with Xiao Meng, the leader of the Taoist Heavenly Sect in the original work, he has already become the leader of the Confucian sect and created the Saint King Sword Technique, clearly showing that he is a person of exceptional talent.

During his fight with Fu Nian, Jiang Chuan witnessed the Holy King Sword Technique. Even though the technique was still somewhat immature, it still gave him some insights.

But now, it's time to end this war.

Jiang Chuan held a sword in one hand and pointed with his other finger.

A spark appeared, and in an instant, it transformed into the sun.

Even though the Arctic crape myrtle is incredibly precious, when the sun shines brightly, even its light must be temporarily obscured and dimmed.

After Jiang Chuan raised his hand to break Fu Nian's Holy King Sword Technique, he also swung his other longsword, and in an instant, all of Fu Nian's attacks were broken.

Then, Fu Nian suddenly put down the Tai'a sword in his hand.

Simply because Jiang Chuan's sword was already at his neck.

The outcome has been decided.

"Mr. Jiang's skill is superb; I, Fu Nian, am ashamed to admit my inferiority."

Fu Nian sheathed his sword and decisively admitted defeat to Jiang Chuan.

He wasn't a sore loser. Admittedly, because of Jiang Chuan's earlier aggressive actions, he revealed his entire Holy King Sword Technique to make Jiang Chuan understand why he lost. However, after realizing he was no match for Jiang Chuan and that Jiang Chuan had broken through all his (damn) sword moves, he didn't mind admitting it.

Seeing that Fu Nian had admitted defeat, Jiang Chuan also put away his longsword.

Afterwards, the three of them left the kendo dojo together.

When Jiang Chuan saw Gongsun Liji again, he had returned to his gentle demeanor.

No one knew that he and Fu Nian had just had a match.

Fu Nian's return did not bring about many changes. After this battle, Jiang Chuan spent two more days sorting out what he had gained from fighting Fu Nian and thoroughly understanding Fu Nian's Holy King Sword Technique.

After that, this Confucian holy land, Xiaoshengxianzhuang, held nothing for him to pursue anymore.

So, it's time to leave this place.

Jiang Chuan gradually developed the idea of ​​leaving, but before departing, he first informed Gongsun Liji of the matter.

Chapter 297 Returning to Mount Shu

"Where does Miss Li Ji intend to go?"

Jiang Chuan looked at Gongsun Liji's beautiful face and asked her a question.

"I have achieved my goal in my trip to Qi. Now I will leave Qi. At most, I will visit Mount Tai. Of course, there is no way that there are any nine dragons pulling a coffin on Mount Tai, so I will not stay there for too long."

After hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Gongsun Liji remained silent for a while, then said in a low voice, "I haven't decided where to go yet."
