First came the letter from Jimo Xi, which was not only for her but also for Bai Yuan.
The letter explained to them that the King of Qi asked Jimo Yun to come to the Taoist temple in order to gain some benefits through their relationship with Jimo Huaxue. Jimo Xi told them not to take these relationships into consideration and just do what they had to do.
Of course, in the letter Jimo Xi also expressed his concern about Jimo Huaxue's recent situation.
The letter from Jimo Huaxue's mother was very different from that from Jimo Xi's. The whole letter was full of concern.
The thing they were most concerned about was how far the relationship between Jimo Huaxue and Bai Yuan had progressed. Jimo Huaxue couldn't help blushing after seeing it.
Jimo Yun sat with Bai Yuan for a while, had a meal, and then left reluctantly.
He also understood his current identity and it was not appropriate for him to have too much contact with Bai Yuan and the others, otherwise it would bring them unnecessary trouble.
Time flies, two days passed quickly, and soon the day of the appointment between heaven and man arrived.
On this day, the area around Guanmiaotai in Taiyi Palace was extremely lively. In addition to the disciples of the Tianren Sect, masters from all forces were also here to watch the once-in-five-year meeting between Tianren and Ren.
The head of Tian Sect, Chisongzi, and the head of Ren Sect, Xiaoyaozi, walked onto the Guanmiao platform. They did not start fighting right away, but instead clasped their fists and bowed in the direction of the Taiyi Palace Hall.
At this moment, an obscure meaning permeated the space, and the people who were originally chatting fell silent at the same time.
Everyone couldn't help but look towards the main hall of Taiyi Palace.
The sunlight passed through the clouds and refracted light and shadow, and a figure appeared out of thin air.
"Welcome Master (Uncle)!"
Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi both shouted respectfully.
A figure flashed and suddenly arrived at the Guanmiao Terrace.
Taoist disciples including Bai Yuan all bowed.
At this moment everyone recognized this person's identity. He was apparently the oldest person in Taoism alive today, Bei Mingzi!
"It's actually Master Bei Ming!"
"Oh my god! It's worth our trip to meet Master Bei Ming!"
People from all major forces opened their eyes wide at this moment, not daring to show any disrespect.
The Six-Fingered Black Knight of the Mohist School, Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School, the Moon Goddess, and some masters from other forces all looked at Bei Mingzi with serious expressions.
"Is this state the so-called unity of man and nature?"
Bei Mingzi was clearly standing in front of them, but they could not sense Bei Mingzi's presence at all.
Bei Mingzi slowly opened his eyes, looked at everyone present, and nodded slightly.
"Once every five years, the agreement between heaven and man, the winner can take control of Xue Ji!"
As Bei Mingzi finished speaking, this agreement between heaven and man officially began.
Before the duel between Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi, the disciples of the Taoist Tianren Sect first competed in martial arts and discussed Taoism.
Bai Yuan was not interested in this part at all. After all, he had seen such discussions countless times over the years. It was the same words over and over again every time, and he could even recite them by heart.
In the end, it turned into using force to prove who was right.
The duel between these ordinary disciples is naturally nothing to watch, so people who have never seen the Covenant of Heaven will be more interested in it.
I don’t know whether the final result was a coincidence or intentional design, but the disciples of the Tianren and Ren sects basically had their wins and losses.
Soon, the discussion between the disciples came to an end, and this agreement between heaven and man reached the truly critical point.
Seeing Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi coming on stage, Bai Yuan, who was originally bored, immediately perked up.
There was no need for much talk, Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi attacked at the same time.
Chisongzi's first move seemed effortless. He stood in place and waved his right hand to use the sword-controlling technique, and Xue Ji flew into the air.
Xiaoyaozi naturally did not want to be outdone. He lightly wiped the sword with his left hand. A shadow of the Tai Chi diagram flashed, and golden Taoist runes suddenly appeared on the sword.
He lightly stepped on the ground and flew towards Xue Ji at a rapid speed.
He raised his sword to block horizontally, turned his wrist, drew a sword flower, used the opponent's force to counter attack, and actually sent Xue Ji back.
All this happened in a flash, and many people didn't even see how Xiaoyaozi resolved Chisongzi's attack.
Chisongzi failed in his attack, but he was not disappointed at all. He called back Xueji, and with one hand he made a gesture, and a blue Bagua Tai Chi diagram appeared in his hand.
As he swung the Xue Ji sword, three Xue Ji swords were left in the air.
This made everyone's eyes widen.
"Am I seeing things? Why are there so many snowflakes?"
"No, only the one in his hand is the real Xue Ji. The others are just illusions created by his inner strength. But even so, their power cannot be underestimated. The illusionary Xue Ji has at least 70% of the original power."
Lord Nan narrowed his eyes and explained to the people from the Yin-Yang School.
"go with!"
Chisongzi shouted softly and waved his sword. Then three snow swords transformed by his internal force flew out together and attacked Xiaoyaozi from three different directions.
Xiaoyaozi's eyes focused and he used his lightness skills to dodge continuously.
Every time he took a step on the ground, a Tai Chi Bagua diagram would flash on the ground.
Suddenly, golden Taoist characters burst out from the ground like iron chains, locking up the three internal force flying swords controlled by Chisongzi so that they could not move.
Xiaoyaozi pointed his finger in front of him and shouted softly, "Break!"
The Taoist scripture lock suddenly clamped down, directly shattering the Xue Ji sword formed by Chi Songzi's internal force.
At this moment, on the Guanmiao Terrace, the half of the field where Xiaoyaozi was standing was covered with countless golden Taoist scriptures, and an invisible wind blew his sleeves, making rustling sounds.
"This... I didn't expect that someone in the Taoist sect could actually successfully practice this secret technique!"
After seeing this, Nan Gong was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Xiaoyaozi had actually learned such martial arts.
"Mr. Nan, what secret technique is that?"
Yan Fei and Yue Shen couldn't help but ask curiously.
"The so-called riding the righteousness of heaven and earth and controlling the six qi is a strange secret technique mentioned by Zhuang Zhou, the top Taoist master, in "Xiao Yao You". In the past hundred years, almost no Taoist has succeeded in practicing it. It is said that through this method, one can control the six qi of yin, yang, wind, rain, darkness and brightness. Without relying on external objects, one can travel in an endless realm. This appointment between heaven and man is indeed extremely interesting!"
Chapter 227: The agreement between heaven and man ends, and the martial arts competition begins
Xiaoyaozi's sudden display of this skill opened everyone's eyes.
Especially after Nan Gong gave the explanation, many people who still didn't understand exclaimed in surprise.
Beside Bai Yuan, Ning Yan and Jimo Huaxue said worriedly, "Is the secret technique used by Xiaoyaozi really that powerful?"
Bai Yuan nodded slightly.
"【Heart Control Six Qi】is one of the most profound martial arts of the Taoist sect. It is rumored that if one practices to the highest level, one can indeed do what Nan Gong said."
"Then isn't your brother in danger?"
"That's not true. This martial art is not so easy to cultivate. As far as I know, no one in my family has been able to cultivate it to the highest level."
Bai Yuan smiled.
On the Guanmiao Terrace, Chisongzi looked at Xiaoyaozi with a serious 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 power of Taoism, he did not expect that he would be the one who was almost scared.
Fortunately, he was well-informed and quickly regained his composure.
Chisongzi held Xue Ji horizontally in front of him and flicked the sword lightly. An invisible internal force quickly enveloped the entire Guanmiaotai.
For a moment, it seemed that the Guanmiao Terrace was cut off from the whole world, turning black and white.
Another unique Taoist skill - Heaven and earth are eclipsed!
For a moment, those golden Taoist texts seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
The Tiandi Shaise used by Chisongzi and the Tiandi Shaise used by others are almost two different moves.
Others might be very effective against some minions, but they are almost useless against people with profound internal strength.
However, Chisongzi's fading of the world made Xiaoyaozi feel that the circulation of his internal energy had become sluggish.
This would have been absolutely impossible five years ago.
Not to mention five years ago, even a year ago, Xiaoyaozi would not have felt such great pressure.
But this year, Bai Yuan helped Chisongzi to cheat. Although Chisongzi failed to break through to the realm of unity of man and nature, under the effects of Qi Nourishing Pill and Spirit Gathering Pill, his internal strength became stronger and stronger.
Xiaoyaozi also has Qi-nourishing Pills to use, but compared to Chisongzi who can eat Qi-nourishing Pills like candy beans, how many can he use every month?
This is how the gap appears.
However, although such suppression had an impact on Xiaoyaozi, it could not determine the outcome of the entire battle.
Xiaoyaozi immediately used the Rejuvenation of All Things to resist the suppression of the fading of heaven and earth.
Upon seeing this, Chisongzi used both hands and made quick hand gestures.
A large Tai Chi Bagua diagram appeared under his feet.
The Xue Ji Sword split into two, then into four, and soon, nine swords appeared beside him.
Controlling nine swords to attack at the same time is several times more difficult than controlling three swords.
A sword with a handle shot out quickly, like a shooting star, and the offensive was even fiercer than before.
“The wind and rain come!”
Xiaoyaozi clasped his hands together, and the air around him rushed towards him frantically, forming a strong hurricane. The originally clear sky suddenly became gloomy, and a heavy rain fell without warning.
With the help of the natural power of wind and rain, the Taoist scriptures around Xiaoyaozi also condensed into golden swords.
Countless flying swords on the field kept colliding. From time to time, a few swords would be shattered and disappear, but new swords would soon condense.
The powerful sword energy almost enveloped the entire Guanmiao Terrace, and those closest to the Terrace could not help but take two steps back.
The collision between swords is actually a competition of the internal strength of both sides. An energy mixed with the internal strength of both sides continues to condense and grow in the field.
Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi never stopped moving their hands. Taoist runes appeared around them and eventually formed two giant dragons.
Just looking at it from a distance is terrifying.
The two dragons were fighting each other, and at the same time, a huge Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram could be faintly seen under their feet. The Yin-Yang fish were entangled together, forming a delicate balance.
At a certain moment of the collision, the two extremely powerful internal forces suddenly seemed to stop and paused for a moment.
Then, the two internal forces exploded with unimaginable terrifying power like a balloon that had burst. The air waves blew and everyone subconsciously covered their eyes.
Bei Mingzi took action immediately and waved his right hand to completely stop the aftermath of the fight between the two. Otherwise, innocent people would definitely be injured.
Everyone looked towards Guanmiaotai nervously, eager to know the result of the duel between the two.
In the field, Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi both covered their chests with their hands, with blood at the corners of their mouths. It was obvious that neither of them had gained the upper hand.
However, Xiaoyaozi's injuries seemed to be more serious. His body was a little unstable, and the sword he was using had broken into two pieces.
In the competition of internal strength, Chisongzi, who had practiced longer than him, was ultimately better.
The competition is almost over here.
Xiaoyaozi sighed and cupped his hands.
"In this heaven-man agreement, the Human Clan admits defeat!"
As his words fell, the result of this agreement between heaven and man came out.
For the next five years, the Xue Ji Sword was still controlled by Tian Zong.
But Chisongzi didn't seem very happy.
Instead, I feel a little sigh.
If Xiaoyaozi's [Heart Control of Six Qi] had not yet been fully cultivated and he could only control wind and rain, it would be hard to say who would win or lose in this competition.
Thinking of this, Chisongzi touched a green jade pendant hidden under his clothes.
Fortunately, he is not without a trump card.
This jade pendant, carved from the green jade leaves of the [Papermaking Tree], can greatly enhance the user's perception in a short period of time. To a certain extent, it can even "predict the future" and anticipate the enemy's moves. When the gap in strength between the two sides is not very large, this is enough for him to suppress Xiaoyaozi and even win in the end.
But now that he has won, there is no need to expose this.
Bei Mingzi walked onto the stage and announced the result of this agreement between heaven and man. He gave a few words of advice to Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi, and then left.
