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

Regardless of the type, once one enters the realm of Taoism, one must bear the corresponding consequences.

The woman before me was deeply obsessed; her arrival at the Heavenly Sect's location clearly indicated she had ulterior motives.

However, the six elders of the Heavenly Sect did not inquire about the other party's demands. Even if they had something to ask, they would wait until they defeated them first.

It's like wanting to become a disciple of the Taoist Heavenly Sect.

Let's defeat those disciples who are being used for the assessment first.

The woman before them was incredibly powerful, so it would require the intervention of these six old men.

The sword energy was like a rainbow, annihilating the Taoist arts, just like fireworks blooming above the Heavenly Sect.

However, soon, even more exquisite Taoist techniques were displayed.

Following the Taoist arts, there was also the movement of swords.

Although Taoism is called Taoism, it is not only good at Taoist arts, but also at swordsmanship. Unlike the Yin-Yang School, which simply cultivates the mind and manipulates magic with the mind, Taoism, although it originated from Qi practitioners, is actually a school that cultivates both internal and external skills.

He cultivates internal magic and external swordsmanship.

This can be seen from the Taoist competition held every five years called the Miaotai Sword Observation.

The Celestial and Human Sects fight over magic, but they also compete with swords!

Currently, the six elders of the Heavenly Sect are not only skilled in profound magic, but also in swordsmanship. However, the swordsmanship of the Taoist sect is somewhat different from that of ordinary martial arts sects. They are more adept at combining Taoist arts with swordsmanship.

In a one-on-one or even one-on-two situation, Ru Shuang's strength is no less than that of the Heavenly Sect Elder.

But there were six of these powerful people on the other side.

Before long, Ru Shuang was at a disadvantage and was suppressed by the six elders of the Taoist sect using a Six Harmonies Formation. If this continued, Ru Shuang would be suppressed.

Ru Shuang was naturally unwilling to accept such an ending.

How could we possibly be defeated before we even meet the head of the Taoist Heavenly Sect?

boom!

A burst of pink sword light erupted, instantly shattering the sword techniques and Taoist arts of the six elders of the Heavenly Sect. The bodies of the six elders scattered in all directions at the same time.

However, the six elders of the Heavenly Sect soon returned.

Indeed, Ru Shuang's sword strike was terrifying.

However, these six people are not weaklings. It would be very difficult for Ru Shuang to defeat all six of them with a single sword strike. In fact, it would be very difficult to even seriously injure them. With the help of a unique formation, the six people's energy is connected. Although they appear to be six people, they are actually equivalent to one person.

The sharpness of this sword was shared equally among the six people.

Six people formed hand seals and pointed their longswords. Instantly, six sword lights, no less sharp than Ru Shuang's sword, flew out and poured towards Ru Shuang.

defeat!

Failed!

Since her debut, Ru Shuang has never lost so badly.

In the past, although she was defeated by Wuming, Wuming did not intend to kill her. In essence, defeating her was just to get rid of her pursuit.

Although Donghuang Taiyi was very powerful in the past, he eventually withdrew.

However, the situation is different for the six elders of the Heavenly Sect at present.

They were already powerful, and with the advantage of playing on their home turf, their strength, atop the Heavenly Sect and aided by the mountain-protecting formation, was even greater than it had been at the foot of the mountain.

When they acted with the intention of suppressing Ru Shuang, all that awaited Ru Shuang was immense pressure.

The pressure came not only from the six people in front of him, but also from the blessing of the Taoist mountain-protecting formation.

The Taoists have been operating on Zhongnan Mountain for countless years. Their methods can draw upon the power of heaven and earth to create spells. Naturally, they have tried to implant spiritual contracts underground to condense them into arrays.

Even so, Ru Shuang still insisted on standing up.

Although she lost, she did not want to admit defeat.

She has a reason why she cannot afford to lose.

Seeing this, the six elders of the Taoist Heavenly Sect prepared to continue their attack and defeat Ru Shuang.

Just then, a sigh reached the ears of the seven people.

“? Sigh…｀ 〃…”

The sigh was long and deep.

After his sigh, all six elders of the Heavenly Sect stopped.

Ru Shuang sensed a mysterious yet powerful aura. She focused her gaze and saw a figure slowly emerging from the void, where dust and light mingled.

"It is truly remarkable that you have reached this point at such a young age. However, your obsession is too deep. You can see the world and yourself, but you do not go far to see all living beings. You imprison yourself in the three inches in front of you, and in the end, you will find it difficult to truly step into the realm of a Grandmaster."

Ru Shuang remained silent, fully aware of what the person in front of her was saying.

To reach the Grandmaster level, one needs to go through three stages: seeing the world, seeing oneself, and seeing all living beings. These three processes are not sequential.

Among them, seeing the heavens and earth means understanding the mysteries of the heavens and earth and comprehending the power of the heavens and earth. This is something that can only be done after the Grandmaster realm has reached its limit.

Seeing oneself is the path to understanding oneself.

It could be swordsmanship, fist fighting, or martial arts.

As for the final stage of seeing all living beings (in good health), one needs to experience the myriad aspects of life and then transcend them. Only in this way can one become a grandmaster.

Ru Shuang had already reached the stages of seeing the world and seeing herself.

She was unwilling to do anything for the common people.

For her, who was once the mastermind behind the net, all living beings were nothing more than roadside weeds, all of whom could be killed. In her eyes, there was no room for the existence of living beings. At first, she was arrogant and disdainful of everyone, but later, two more people joined her.

One is Yan'er, and the other is her husband Jiang Chuan.

This allowed her to take another step beyond Grandmaster, with one foot already in the realm of Great Grandmaster, but ultimately it still didn't allow her to fully step into the realm of Great Grandmaster.

As for how the Yin-Yang School, which has lost its humanity, completes the stage of seeing all living beings and enters the realm of Grandmaster, it may be because, for them, they consider themselves gods, and all living beings are their subjects who worship and serve them. They shepherd the people with the body of gods, and transcend them with the faith of the people, thus entering the realm of Grandmaster.

Chapter 217 Metaphysics

"So what if I can't fully reach the Grandmaster level?"

"Is becoming a Grandmaster really that important?"

Ru Shuang didn't know who this suddenly appearing old man was. Perhaps it was because of the powerful aura she sensed from him, or perhaps it was because of his extraordinary status in Taoism, so Ru Shuang didn't mind exchanging a few more words with him.

Ru Shuang's carefree attitude surprised the old man.

So the old man stopped talking about it.

Then he asked Ru Shuang, "Your strength is considerable. You didn't come to my Taoist sect to become my disciple, did you?"

"What brings you here?"

Upon hearing the old man's question, Ru Shuang's face showed a complicated expression. Finally, she revealed her purpose: "My husband has been cursed by the Yin Yang School."

"The Yin-Yang Curse Seal?" Upon hearing this, the old man raised his eyebrows slightly.

The six Heavenly Sect elders around him had different expressions upon hearing this.

After a long silence, the old man finally spoke: "It seems that the Yin-Yang School has not given up those evil methods."

In the eyes of Taoism, the practice of Yin-Yang School is a heretical path, a demonic path.

Among them are those vicious Yin-Yang curse seals.

Many years ago, the Yin-Yang School strictly prohibited its disciples from practicing Yin-Yang incantations and seals, listing them as forbidden arts. In addition, the Yin-Yang School had a relatively good reputation during Zou Yan's time, and the Taoists once thought that the Yin-Yang School had reformed.

Therefore, even when the Yin-Yang School returned to the Qin State and settled in Mount Li, the Daoists paid no attention to it.

Ultimately, nearly five hundred years have passed since the Yin-Yang School separated from Taoism. With so much time gone by, there is no point in dwelling on past grievances.

Unexpectedly, the Yin-Yang School had never changed; they were still practicing that vicious Yin-Yang curse.

"Do you know which Yin-Yang curse mark your husband is afflicted with?" an elder of the Heavenly Sect couldn't help but ask Ru Shuang.

They had just joined forces, coldly suppressing Ru Shuang.

But at this moment, after this mysterious old man appeared, their attitude became friendly.

Ru Shuang said in a deep voice, "It's the Seven Souls Controlling Heart Spell!"

"Seven Souls Control the Heart, one of the eight most vicious Yin Meridian Curses of the Yin-Yang School. Although it is not as deadly as the Six Souls Curse, it will gradually erode the human body over time, turning it into a puppet."

"I never imagined that your husband would be afflicted with such a Yin-Yang curse. Do you know who placed it?"

Ru Shuang replied quite frankly, "The leader of the Yin Yang School is Donghuang Taiyi!"

"It turned out to be him!"

Upon hearing this name, all six elders of the Taoist Heavenly Sect became solemn.

They were very curious about the current leader of the Yin-Yang School.

There's not much to say about Zou Yan, the previous leader of the Yin-Yang School. He was a renowned scholar whose fame spread throughout the land. After Zou Yan, the Yin-Yang School fell into a long period of silence, but many years ago, it returned to the Qin State and quickly gained a foothold there. Undoubtedly, this was all related to the current leader of the Yin-Yang School.

Unfortunately, this person always lived a secluded life, and even the Taoists did not know much about him.

Unexpectedly, the other party had left the Yin-Yang School to plant the Yin-Yang Curse Seal on others, and it was an extremely vicious Seven Souls Mind Control Curse.
