"After the snow, the sun rises again. Isn't it the Hundred Steps Flying Sword?"

The reason why Yan Yan was stunned was because he thought the sword just now was Zongheng's Hundred-Step Flying Sword.

In the same way, he continuously accumulated sword power, first showing weakness to the enemy, and then suddenly releasing it unexpectedly.

But after careful consideration, I found that it was not quite the same.

The Hundred-Step Flying Sword is constantly accumulating the sword force of the enemy's attack, and the Taoist's "The Sun Clears After Snow" is even more terrifying. One person forms a formation, which can not only accumulate the sword force of the enemy's attack, but also accumulate the momentum and energy of all the battles in the entire formation.

Hundred-Step Flying Sword focuses on momentum, so the attack will be faster and more fierce.

The first clear day after snow focuses on strength, and the attacks are more powerful and longer.

"Your Majesty, which one came first, Taoism or Guiguzi? Where did Guiguzi come from?" An Qisheng asked with a smile.

Yan Yan was stunned for a moment. There are many legends about Guiguzi. The most widely circulated one is that the first generation Guiguzi was an abandoned baby who was picked up by a wild beast, either a tiger or a wolf, and taken back to a cave to be raised. Later, Guiguzi followed the laws of nature, studied the universe, and finally achieved enlightenment and founded the Guiguzi Zongheng school.

However, these legends obviously cannot stand up to scrutiny, especially for Confucianism, which is famous for its education. It is impossible for them to believe that someone can learn without a teacher and become a master of Taoism naturally.

If you think about it carefully, the place Guigu was not originally famous. It was only valued by the princes of the world because of Guiguzi. Before Guiguzi appeared, it was just a barren mountain.

Among all the schools of thought, there is only one that is willing and likes to hide in the deep mountains and forests and avoid the world - Taoism!
Moreover, many of Guiguzi Zongheng’s ideas are actually very similar to Taoism.

Guiguzi is also known as the master of Taoism and military science.

"My master has never beaten Uncle Bei Mingzi. Do you think Xuanweizi could beat senior masters like Zhuang Zhou and Lie Zi at that time?" An Qisheng continued with a smile.

Yan Yan sorted out the time sequence again. The time when the first generation of Guiguzi was born was the time of Zhuangzi and Liezi. And at that time, there were ten top masters like Zhuangzi and Liezi in Taiyi Mountain!

Confucianism has the Ten Philosophers in the Confucius Temple, and Taoism also has the Ten True Lords!

Moreover, it was not Guiguzi who became famous, but his disciples!

"So, the first generation Guiguzi is actually the predecessor Xuanweizi of my Taoist Taiyi Mountain, also known as Xuanwei Zhenjun."

"This is also the reason why Snow Queen's First Clearing is similar to the Hundred Steps Flying Sword."

"Guigu Zongheng is derived from Taoism, just like Huang Lao, Yang Zhu, and Yin Yang, it has a different emphasis, so the sword power also has a different emphasis."

Yan Yan listened to An Qisheng's explanation and finally understood why Taoism could have three of the two major schools of thought.

Almost half of the various schools of thought were losers in the Taoist struggle, or Taoist disciples who took other paths.

"The First Clearing After Snow is the unique skill of the Taoist sect leader. Only the leaders of all generations can learn it. The First Clearing After Snow that I performed is just a shortened version. There is still a big gap between it and the real First Clearing After Snow."

"With Senior Brother Heguanzi's strength, he may be able to do it instantly, without having to slowly carve the Dao pattern like me."

An Qisheng said solemnly.

Yan Yan smiled bitterly. Others didn't know how strong Brown Crown was, but he knew it.

Heiguanzi is not only proficient in Taoist magic, but also in the learning of hundreds of schools of thought. He has learned from all of them and has made great achievements in horizontal training and body training.

Even without using top Taoist skills like Snow Queen's First Clearing, it would be extremely difficult to break through the brown crown boy's physical defense.

If it is combined with the Taoist Snow Queen's First Clearing, Yan Yan suspected that even if they summoned all the masters, they might not be able to seriously injure Brown Crown in an instant. "The real Three Talents Formation must be used in conjunction with the Snow Queen's First Clearing."

"The Taoists have never kept secrets. All of the Taoist formations, except for the Zhoutian Xingchen formation that protects the sect, are not open to the public. As long as you want to learn other formations, the Taoists are willing to teach them."

"But the core of many Taoist formations must be used in conjunction with the Taoist unique skills."

An Qisheng continued.

Yan Yan nodded. Taoists never keep their formations to themselves, and even Daozang is not afraid of others learning them.

But the real core things cannot be learned by those who are not core disciples and elders of Taoism.

For example, the Taoist Three Elements Formation that they are about to face now.

All the philosophers knew about the power of the Three Talents Formation and had studied it, but no one had expected that the truly perfect Three Talents Formation would have to be used in conjunction with the Taoist practice of the first clearing after snow.

"The Three Talents Formation can not only gather the power of the person who sets up the formation on one person, but can also concentrate the damage on one person. This seems to be a flaw and disadvantage of the Three Talents Formation, but if Snow Queen Chuqing is added as a human, then it will be a perfect formation that combines offense and defense."

Yan Yan nodded. Even without the Clear Sky After Snow, the Three Talents Formation could be considered a perfect formation. When coupled with the Clear Sky After Snow's unique skill of absorbing and accumulating sword power and true energy, it would be truly terrifying.

However, these things are unknown to outsiders except the core disciples of Taoism.

This is the true secret of Taoism. Therefore, An Qisheng did not explain it to anyone else just now and only told it to himself in private.

Because An Qisheng knew that even if Yan Yan knew about it, he would not publicize it widely, and would not even pass it on to his descendants, nor would he record it in the classics.

Never let any third person know.

"No way to crack it?" Yan Yan still looked at An Qisheng with some expectation.

An Qisheng smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, you think too highly of me. This is a great formation created by the Taoist sages of all generations. Although I have talent, I have focused all my energy on Bingzhou's state affairs and have no time to deduce it!"

Yan Yan nodded sullenly. Not to mention An Qisheng, since the establishment of Bingzhou, how much time and energy did he have to devote to martial arts and these formations?
Why do most poets fail to succeed in government positions? Because those who succeed do not have time to write poetry!

"There is one more piece of news Your Majesty should know!" An Qisheng continued.

"Please speak!" Yan Yan responded more solemnly.

"Uncle-master Bei Mingzi is also the last disciple of great-grandmaster Zhuang Zhou!" An Qisheng said more solemnly.

Yan Yan's eyes widened. As a teacher, there are usually two most favored disciples, one is the eldest disciple, the eldest senior brother, and the other is the closed junior brother.

The former can grow under the care of the teacher, while the latter can inherit everything from the teacher and pass on his legacy.

If Bei Mingzi is Zhuangzi's last disciple, it means that everything Zhuangzi has learned throughout his life will be passed on to Bei Mingzi without reservation, and Bei Mingzi will inherit everything from Zhuangzi.

"Senior Brother Chisongzi is also extremely terrifying. The name Chisongzi is not the name of one person, but a legacy. Almost every once in a while, someone from the Taoist Tianzong will inherit this name."

An Qisheng continued.

"Chisongzi was Shennong's teacher at first, teaching him how to cure diseases. Later, during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, Chisongzi was also a rain master. During the reign of King Mu of Zhou, he was a guest of honor of the Queen Mother of the West."
