When I was in Qin Dynasty, I really didn't want to make progress

Those from Taoism and Yin-Yang School like to play with mystery the most, which may be a little incompatible with Guiguzi's style. It is common for the master to dislike each other. After all, the master is also a human being with his own joys, sorrows, anger and happiness.

"I can't say that. I can't say that. Even if I see those old guys, I have to call them seniors. What's more troublesome is that I can't beat them." Guiguzi admitted his defeat.

This playful and self-deprecating attitude surprised Yang Chong. He didn't expect that Guiguzi, who could teach two powerful masters like Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, would be such a Guiguzi? Could this be the so-called return to nature?

"Those few have lived to a ripe old age, and they can be considered unfathomable." Yang Chong nodded.

Those old fellows of Taoism are mysterious. Moreover, unlike sects like Confucianism and Mohism, they don't pursue any knowledge to save the world. Instead, they all bury their heads in hard practice. The inheritance of their sect points directly to the ancient times. Each of them is very terrifying.

Although Yang Chong has inherited various top-level inheritances and has reached the level of a grandmaster in less than ten years, he is not afraid even when facing a strong grandmaster like Guiguzi. However, his age is there after all, and in terms of accumulation, he is still inferior to those old guys.

However, Yang Chong didn't care about this. The power those old guys now possessed was almost the limit they could reach. But the power Yang Chong now possessed was just the beginning for him. He was not even middle-aged, and he still had a lot of room for improvement. His lower limit was almost reaching the upper limit of those old guys. How could he be afraid of those so-called top powerhouses?

"But that's all. They have all gone astray. I heard that Donghuang Taiyi from the Yin-Yang School has also come this time. The King of Qi should be careful with these people from the Yin-Yang School." Guiguzi said.

"Donghuang Taiyi? He is indeed an extraordinary person." Yang Chong said.

There were people from the Yin-Yang School around him, so he was not completely ignorant of Yang Chong of the Yin-Yang School. But it was precisely because he knew a little bit that he knew that as the leader of the Yin-Yang School, Donghuang Taiyi was much more powerful than people could imagine. Ehuang, Nvying, and even women like Yan Fei and Yue Shen were certainly powerful, but in front of Donghuang Taiyi, they were not in the same dimension. In front of Donghuang Taiyi, the so-called Yin-Yang School masters like Ehuang were actually no different from a young child.

"I heard that the Yin-Yang School has been in more and more contact with the Qin State in recent years, and there seems to be a trend of cooperating with the Qin State. Could it be that Donghuang Taiyi wants to take action against me and thus submit a token of his allegiance to the Qin State?" Yang Chong didn't care much.

He admitted that the current Donghuang Taiyi must be stronger than him, but he is no longer a wanderer, and Donghuang Taiyi cannot cause any trouble in Linzi City.

What's more, people like Donghuang Taiyi, who are so-called immortal seekers, attach great importance to their own lives. For Donghuang Taiyi, King Zheng of Qin is not enough to make him fight to the death with Yang Chong.

"Donghuang Taiyi is not stupid. How could he fight with you, King Qi, on your territory? But King Qi should still be careful of him. The Yin-Yang magic of the Yin-Yang family is the most bizarre and hard to guard against. Even a master can fall into their trap if he is not careful." Guiguzi reminded.

Guiguzi had not seen such an interesting person as Yang Chong for many years. The appearance of Yang Chong brought unpredictable changes to the trend of the world. For people like the descendant of Zongheng who like to watch the fun, Yang Chong can be regarded as the most interesting person. He does not want to see Yang Chong being plotted against by the Yin-Yang School, so that the ending of the world becomes certain again. If that happens, there will be many fewer interesting things in this world.

"It doesn't matter. This time I also want to see how powerful the mastered Yin-Yang magic is. It's a good opportunity to learn from them." Yang Chong still looked unconcerned.

Seeing Yang Chong so confident, Guiguzi didn't say anything more. He had already reminded him, and Yang Chong must have been alert. There was no need to say more. He was not the kind of person who would stir up trouble.

And when he heard Yang Chong mention the word "exchange", Guiguzi also remembered another purpose of his trip.

Yang Chong, as the King of Qi, invited masters of various schools of thought to Linzi to discuss martial arts with the world. No one had ever done such a thing before.

Those who have such thoughts are not qualified to do it, and those who are qualified to do it have no such interest, so Yang Chong became the first person.

However, Yang Chong is already the King of Qi now, so why would he do something that would not benefit Qi at all? Moreover, Yang Chong himself is a master, and the so-called masters of various schools of thought are almost nothing to Yang Chong.

If Yang Chong's purpose of doing this is to practice, I am afraid that the masters of various schools of thought will not be able to help Yang Chong at all.

Therefore, Guiguzi was puzzled by Yang Chong's behavior, so he asked: "Speaking of learning from each other, I have a question that I hope the King of Qi can answer for me."

"Please feel free to speak, senior." Yang Chong responded very straightforwardly.

"The King of Qi has gone to so much trouble to facilitate the nationwide discussion on martial arts. This can't be a spur-of-the-moment idea, right?" Guiguzi had stopped joking as he spoke.

Guiguzi also knew that knights use force to break the law. With Yang Chong's identity as the King of Qi, he had enough reasons to deal with the masters of the various schools of thought. But precisely because Yang Chong was the King of Qi, he should not deal with this master now, because Qi's only enemies at this stage were the other countries, not the heroes of the martial arts world.

"Of course not." Yang Chong remained frank.

"Then I wonder what the King of Qi's purpose is?" Guiguzi asked.

"Yanwu." Two answers came out of Yang Chong's mouth that Guiguzi would never have expected.

"Yanwu?" Guiguzi indeed showed a puzzled look.

"I want to use the Hundred Schools of Thought as fire, the sword world as a furnace, and forge the sword Tai'a." Yang Chong replied.

"The hundred schools of thought are the fire? The sword world is the furnace? Forging the sword Tai'a?" Even with Guiguzi's knowledge, he was unable to react for a while.

What kind of existence the sword world is is beyond Guiguzi's understanding. However, as one of the most powerful people in the world, he quickly explained the existence of the sword world with his own explanation: the realm of the master.

"The sword forged by the King of Qi is named Tai'a, but I don't know what kind of sword it is?" Guiguzi asked.

"Of course it is the strongest sword." Yang Chong replied, showing a confident and vigorous look as he spoke.

"What is the strongest sword? Could it be the strongest sword discussed by Taoist Zhuangzi?" Guiguzi became more and more curious.

After Zhuangzi's discussion on swordsmanship divided all the swords in the world into common people's swords, princes' swords, and emperor's swords, whenever people mentioned the word "sword", they would lead the topic in this direction. At this time, when Guiguzi heard Yang Chong talking about the strongest sword, he subconsciously thought that Yang Chong was talking about Zhuangzi's thing again.

Guiguzi does not agree with these things. A sword is just a sword, just a weapon. There is no need for so many explanations.

"Zhuangzi discussed the general situation of the world. If I want to discuss Zhuangzi's sword, I should not invite the masters of various schools of thought to discuss martial arts, but invite the kings of the six countries to divide the world. The strongest sword I mentioned is just a literal meaning. The strongest sword is the sword in the palm of your hand with the strongest attack, power, and the strongest ability to kill people and destroy cities."

Yang Chong put his fingers together and pointed the sword directly at the sky. Although there was a roof blocking the way, Guiguzi still felt a sword intent that wanted to pierce the sky.

The sword intent was only in its infancy, but Guiguzi could already sense an extremely domineering intent from it. It was almost no longer a human sword, and it was not a sword that could be wielded by a human.

Realizing this, Guiguzi couldn't help but recall that he had made a special trip to Dingtao before coming to Linzi.

After the war, the city walls that were destroyed in the flames of war were repaired. However, there were always spider-web-like cracks on the repaired walls that could not be repaired no matter what. They remained on the walls forever like an ugly scar.

The soldiers and civilians of Dingtao City could only attribute it to an unknown force, but Guiguzi saw clearly that the crack could not be repaired because there was a lingering sword intent inside.

The sword intent seemed to be like a mountain collapse and the earth splitting, as if it would shatter everything.

Although Guiguzi could not fully understand Yang Chong's swordsmanship, he could already guess some things, which strengthened his determination to come to Linzi.

After hearing what Yang Chong said again, Guiguzi finally understood everything. He couldn't help but feel more expectant. He hoped that Yang Chong could really use this world martial arts discussion to complete the deduction of that set of sword techniques.

He was looking forward to it, looking forward to what kind of sword technique it would be that would shock the world and make the ghosts cry.

He was looking forward to whether there was an even more powerful sword technique than his own, or whether there was a set of sword techniques that could surpass the limits of this world.

"I have satisfied your curiosity. I also have something that needs your help. You should agree, right?" While Guiguzi was pondering, Yang Chong stated the ultimate purpose of his invitation.

"The King of Qi rules the State of Qi, and the number of elite soldiers under his command will reach hundreds of thousands next year. Is there anything he needs my help with?" Guiguzi did not want to respond. Could something that could make the King of Qi hold a meeting to ask for help be a small matter?

Chapter 269: Sword Realm Furnace

"No one in the world can say that he is omnipotent, and the same goes for Wang." Yang Chong said, Wang just finds it easier to accomplish things that others cannot do, but to say that he is omnipotent is overestimating him.

The same is true for Yang Chong.

Seeing that he seemed to have no way out, Guiguzi could only bite the bullet and say, "The matter that can make the King of Qi ask for help must be no small matter. If I can help, I don't mind, but if it is beyond my ability, then I can only say that I can't do anything."

"Don't worry, senior. This matter is a piece of cake for you." Seeing that Guiguzi had given in, Yang Chong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Guiguzi had finally taken the bait, and it was worth it for him to haggle with him for so long.

"Whether it is easy or not, it is up to me to judge. Can the King of Qi's words be trusted?" Guiguzi still has his own vigilance.

"Senior, what do you think of my two children?" Yang Chong pulled the two little guys from Niu Shang's hands and brought them in front of him, revealing his true intentions.

It's time for the two little guys to find a teacher. When it comes to teaching disciples, there is probably no one more suitable than Guiguzi in the world. After all, the "success rate" of the disciples of the Zongheng family is 100%, although this is also because there are only two Zongheng disciples in each generation.

"Both the King of Qi and his wife are people with excellent physiques. Your children will naturally be the best of the best in terms of physique alone." Guiguzi replied. These words were not deliberate compliments from him. Even with his picky eyes of only accepting two disciples in his life, Yang Chong's children were both considered good materials and beautiful jade.

"I want them to become disciples of our senior and have him teach them for a few years," said Yang Chong.

“King Qi, I’m afraid there is nothing I can do about this matter. You also know the rules of the Zongheng family. Each generation of Guiguzi can only have two disciples.” Guiguzi refused. There were so many talented people in the world. If he were to accept every one he met as a disciple, then the Zongheng family’s rules would have been broken long ago.

The School of Diplomacy will probably no longer be the so-called "small sect".

"Senior, why don't you listen to me before you consider whether to refuse." Yang Chong interrupted Guiguzi's refusal and continued, "I'm not talking about asking them to become your disciples. I understand the rules of the Zongheng family. Besides, as a father, I can't let them go down the path of confrontation in the future."

"What does the King of Qi mean?" Guiguzi now realized that he might have misunderstood something.

"You can be their elementary school teacher for a few years. After a few years, I will choose another teacher for them." Yang Chong explained.

"If it is just elementary education, there are plenty of people in the Jixia Academy who can do this. Even if the King of Qi looks down on those people, don't we still have Xunzi? When it comes to being a teacher, I'm afraid no one among the hundreds of schools of thought can surpass the Confucians." Guiguzi still refused to give in.

In Guiguzi's opinion, Confucian talents are more suitable for doing this, but Yang Chong was wary of Confucian people and chose him instead. There must be some calculation behind this, and he cannot take it.

"For children, the most important thing is to open their eyes and develop their character. It's just a matter of reading a few books. There's no need to stop reading at any time, not just in the next few years."

When Yang Chong talked about his own educational philosophy, Guiguzi agreed with it for a moment. The same was true for the way Zongheng school trained its disciples. The most important thing was courage, and the second was ability. Without vision and courage, even if one had learned a lot of skills, he would still be nothing more than a mediocre person.

While Yang Chong and Guiguzi were discussing their respective educational philosophies, Niu Shang was in a completely different mood.

Yang Chong was actually looking for a teacher for her two children, and the teacher she found was a master like Guiguzi. For a moment, Niu Shang felt a sense of importance. Although this importance was not because of her, Niu Shang still felt touched and moved.

It has to be said that the current Niu Shang has indeed lost her former indifference and strength, and has become more emotional. It's not that she doesn't care about many things now, but she is more aware of her position and does not want to have too many extravagant hopes. But now, she can't help but have an impulse. At this moment, she wants to get more from Yang Chong.

In the end, Guiguzi was persuaded by Yang Chong. Of course, Yang Chong also paid a price for this, because Yang Chong was also a person that Guiguzi was interested in.

While Yang Chong was chatting with Guiguzi, at the Yin-Yang School's temporary base in Linzi, Donghuang Taiyi, dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask, was gazing into the distance. Behind him stood Dongjun and Yueshen of the Yin-Yang School.

No matter what kind of person is hidden under the black robe and mask, the women with the same appearance as Dongjun and Yueshen standing behind him are enough to prove his level.

"King Chong of Qi is truly extraordinary. The surprise he gave me is beyond my expectations." The voice of Donghuang Taiyi came from under the mask, causing Dongjun and Yueshen behind him to look stunned.

The Yin-Yang School was not completely ignorant of Qi Wang Chong. Apart from anything else, the School's Water Elder Ehuang had a special relationship with Yang Chong. Moreover, Dongjun and Yueshen, two of the School's most outstanding disciples, had been in Linzi for a long time. Their purpose was just to observe Qi Wang Chong and see how far he could go.

Donghuang Taiyi, the leader of the Yin-Yang School, appeared in Linzi because he had enough understanding of Qi Wang Chong. Through Ehuang, Dongjun and Yueshen, Donghuang Taiyi believed that he had enough understanding of Qi Wang Chong, and what he had to do now was to verify that information.

At this time, Donghuang Taiyi had confirmed some information about Qi Wang Chong, such as Qi Wang Chong's true martial arts realm.

But after some verification, Donghuang Taiyi discovered that Qi Wang Chong's martial arts alone were even better than described in the intelligence. Qi Wang Chong was obviously much more powerful. Otherwise, he would not have been able to make Guiguzi retreat with just a simple move.

Donghuang Taiyi has a new understanding of Qi Wang Chong’s true strength, but because of this, he has more doubts. What is the upper limit of Qi Wang Chong?

The comet-like rise of King Chong of Qi made Donghuang Taiyi hesitate in his judgment, but in his heart, the best partner for the Yin-Yang School, or for himself, was still the State of Qin.

Donghuang Taiyi was not too optimistic about the impact of one person's martial arts in the competition between countries.

In the competition between Qi and Qin, Qin still holds an absolute advantage, and what he needs is to stand on the side of the winner and use the luck of the world to turn the formed domain into reality. Only in the domain can his life be better continued until that change occurs, and then make a final fight.

By borrowing the luck of the world, the Grandmaster's domain can be turned from virtual to real, forming a small world of its own. In this small world, the passage of time can be slowed down, and the speed of aging can be slowed down. Such a plan can be called astonishing and brilliant, and it can be said to be the pinnacle of wisdom in this world.

If Yang Chong knew all this, he would probably understand how Luo Shengtang appeared in his memory of the Yin-Yang School.

The Rashomon Hall, which seemed both real and unreal, was actually the domain of Donghuang Taiyi.

Dongjun and Yueshen looked at the sect leader who was lost in deep thought, and both held their concentration. With their strength, they should not be able to sense the brief fight between Yang Chong and Guiguzi, but they could feel Donghuang Taiyi's hesitation.

Between Qi and Qin, Donghuang Taiyi would choose Qin without hesitation, but between Qi Wang Chong and Qin Wang Zheng, Donghuang Taiyi was more inclined to Qi Wang Chong.

While Donghuang Taiyi was hesitating, the World Martial Arts Conference was held as scheduled.

In the square of Jixia Academy which was used for debates in the past, masters from various schools of thought gathered together to discuss the swordsmanship of the world in order to achieve higher and stronger martial arts.

Since it is a discussion of martial arts, then martial arts competition becomes a necessary step.

Amidst the curious gazes, a swordsman in black with a scar on his face walked onto the stage.

"Is it him?" A master from the Qin State couldn't help but show a look of surprise when he saw the black-clad swordsman on the ring.

"Who is this person? Is he very strong? The person who was sent to the battlefield first by the King of Qi cannot be weak." Some people were surprised, and naturally some people were confused.

"It is Black and White Xuan Jian, but it is not Black and White Xuan Jian." Someone else sighed.

The person who appeared on the ring was none other than the former Black and White Xuan Jian. Ever since Wei Yong was executed for the evidence that Black and White Xuan Jian handed over to Xinling Jun, Black and White Xuan Jian disappeared, completely vanishing from the world's sight. Not long after, the Black and White Xuan Jian swords appeared again in the hands of Luowang's top killer, but everyone who knew Black and White Xuan Jian knew that this Black and White Xuan Jian was not the same Black and White Xuan Jian.

Just when everyone thought that the person sent by Qi to defend the ring was the former Hei Bai Xuan Jian, they saw Hei Bai Xuan Jian simply inserted eight long swords into the eight positions of the ring, and then came to a corner of the ring, which was the position of the judge.

It was not until this time that the talents who came to participate in the martial arts debate realized that Hei Bai Xuan Jian was not their opponent, but their referee.

"Everyone, there are many people who come here to discuss martial arts. If everyone has to go on stage to compete, it will take too long. I don't think everyone has the patience to do so. Therefore, those who want to go on stage to discuss martial arts must go through a screening process." Hei Bai Xuan Jian, who has transformed into a referee, said loudly.

Now that he is Yang Chong's subordinate, naturally he will do whatever Yang Chong asks him to do.

As for why a top swordsman like Hei Bai Xuan Jian would join Yang Chong, it was naturally because Hei Bai Xuan Jian wanted something from Yang Chong.

Since Wei Yong was executed, Hei Bai Xuan Jian, who had avenged his great hatred, had only one thing left to do and must do, and that was to find his child who was taken away by Wei Yong at birth.

It was also because of this that after Wei Yong's death, he served under Xinling Jun for several years, hoping to use Xinling Jun's ubiquitous prestige and connections in Wei to find his children.

But he searched for several years in Wei State but found no news, and he had many enemies in Wei State. Although he was instructed by Wei Yong at that time and Wei Yong was the culprit, people died in his hands after all, and the relatives and children of the victims all hated him to the core.

The most representative of them is Dian Qing, the disciple of the former great general of Wei State, the strongest disciple of the Pijia Sect, who is known for his unscathed character in a hundred battles.

Although he was not afraid of these people, as his hope of finding his child became increasingly slim, he realized that there was no need for him to stay in Wei.

But Hei Bai Xuan Jian was unwilling to give up the search for his child. After careful consideration, he thought of Yang Chong, the man who was obviously weak back then but changed his destiny.

Therefore, the black and white Xuan Jian that once belonged to Luowang has completely become a reality. All that exists is the current Wei Xuan of Qi State and the current person who makes decisions based on martial arts.

"How to select?" Those who came to participate in the martial arts discussion were already impatient.

"It's very simple. Anyone who can step onto the stage is qualified." Wei Xuan pointed to the stage in front of him.

"This arena is only three feet high. It's too easy to get up there." Some people were already excited. Such a request was really too simple.

Therefore, some people who think they are simple have already jumped out of their seats and are about to use their light skills to get onto the stage.

However, as soon as these so-called smart people took action, their agile bodies suddenly became clumsy.

"How could this happen? What's going on?" Some smart people who rushed to the ring suddenly found that their lightness skills were no longer useful. They felt as if they were carrying a huge burden and could hardly move an inch.

If it were just that, it would be fine. What is even more puzzling and terrifying is that with every step they take, the sword energy surrounding them increases.

The power of these weapons was so fierce that even the tiniest one was no weaker than their full-strength attack.
