Bai Cang had naturally heard of the Taibai Sword Sect.
The top of the ten major sword sects of the Xuanmen, and ranked among the top two of the ten major Xuanmen.
The only major sect in the Xuanmen (Taoist) sect that can rival Xuandu Temple.
These titles are renowned and awe-inspiring.
Who doesn't know? Who doesn't understand?
It should be noted that Xuandu Temple inherits the Taoist lineage of Lao Qiu.
Old Qiu is not only one of the Ten Saints of Xuanmen, but also the only disciple of Danhuang among the Seven Phoenixes of Creation.
The fact that the Taibai Sword Sect can rival the Xuandu Temple naturally indicates that it has an extraordinary origin, deep roots, and powerful connections.
It is said that the Taibai Sword Sect is the lineage of that ancient sword ancestor.
Why is it said that it is "allegedly"?
This is simply because it is a "rumor" known worldwide.
The Taibai Sword Sect has never denied it, but it has never publicly admitted it either.
But one thing is a fact that is known to all and is indisputable.
Those are the Taibai Sword Sect and the Xuandu Temple, the only two major Xuanmen sects in the world with Golden Immortals of the Dao Integration Realm presiding over them, or rather, with Dao Integration Realm Ancestors who are still openly active.
They were just a hair's breadth away from creating a world of difference between themselves and the other major sects of the Xuanmen.
Therefore, the order of the Ten Great Mysterious Sects often changes.
However, the top two positions of Xuandu Temple and Taibai Sword Sect remain unchanged, and they are known as the "Upper Two Sects and Lower Eight Schools".
This is the awe-inspiring power of a Golden Immortal who has attained the Dao!
What is a Golden Immortal who has merged with the Dao? It is one whose body is in harmony with the Great Dao, and who is immortal, ageless, and indestructible!
It should be known that once one attains the Dao, one's primordial spirit can achieve longevity and immortality, and one can develop a Dao principle, also known as the Dao-developing Realm, and be called the "Dao Lord".
However, the Primordial Spirit Dao Lord is not immune to death.
Even those who attain the Dao and become immortals must still undergo nine tribulations and avoid three calamities. If they cannot overcome or avoid these tribulations, they will die and their Dao will dissipate.
Only by passing through the nine tribulations and escaping the three calamities can one attain great tranquility, great freedom, and great ease, and thus qualify to unite with the Great Dao.
Only those who have attained the Dao and become Golden Immortals can be indestructible and immortal, and can never be killed again; at most, they can only be sealed away.
This demonstrates the extraordinary status of Xuandu Temple and Taibai Sword Sect among the major sects of Taoism!
However, this is all public information, common knowledge in high-level circles above the Golden Core stage. There is no need for True Monarch Xuanhu to specifically remind him, and Yu Duxiu has no need to act as if he is keeping it a secret.
Therefore, if the Taibai Sword Sect is not the problem, then the problem must lie with Yu Duxiu.
Bai Cang used the "Heart-Changing Divine Number" technique, taking the intersection between himself and Yu Duxiu as the constant and the information about the Taibai Sword Sect as the variable, to communicate with the mysterious secrets of heaven and quickly obtain the secrets he wanted to know.
"I see, no wonder he didn't want others to know!"
A flicker of realization crossed Bai Cang's eyes, and his gaze toward Yu Duxiu carried a barely perceptible deep apprehension.
When Yu Duxiu was born, a primordial sword embryo came to him. He was regarded as the reincarnation of a sword lord of the Taibai Sword Sect. From a young age, he was taken back to the Taibai Sword Sect by a primordial spirit sword lord.
However, when he finally condensed his supreme Dao foundation and had the opportunity to meet the Dao-Merging Golden Immortal of the Taibai Sword Sect, he thought he could gain favor and even become the Golden Immortal's disciple. Instead, he received an evaluation that would influence his entire life.
It's beyond repair, and full of craftsmanship!
How could Yu Duxiu, who always boasted that "all sword cultivators in the world possess a talent of one bushel, but I alone possess eight bushels," possibly accept this?
The origin of his name comes from a boast he made when he was young: "In the Taibai Sword Sect, I am the only one who stands out!"
This shows just how arrogant he was!
From then on, Yu Duxiu began his "mad" life.
To prove himself, he condensed a first-grade sword pill in just thirty years, thus gaining another opportunity to meet a Golden Immortal who had achieved Dao Integration.
But this time, the other party didn't even give him a chance to speak.
With just one word, "Get lost," a dazzling sword light flashed, cleaving Yu Duxiu thousands of miles away.
It was this experience that drove Yu Duxiu completely "crazy".
He regarded this experience as a great humiliation and vowed to prove that he was an unparalleled sword genius, boasting that he would defeat all his fellow sword cultivators.
So, relying on the background of the Taibai Sword Sect and his outstanding cultivation among his peers, he challenged almost all the Xuanmen Sword Sects and defeated one sword prodigy after another.
Among his peers, almost all the renowned sword prodigies were swept aside and defeated by him.
Even some long-established veterans have fallen to his sword.
Moreover, due to the resentment he harbored, Yu Duxiu never showed mercy when he attacked, often resorting to killing. At best, he would destroy someone's sword spirit; at worst, he would take their life. He had offended countless enemies.
If it weren't for the Taibai Sword Sect's formidable reputation, they probably would have been secretly dealt with and defeated by some Nascent Soul Dao Lord long ago.
As the saying goes, "If you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet."
Even if the reputation of the Taibai Sword Sect is strong, Yu Duxiu's outrageous behavior is still a case of "the madman will be punished by heaven."
He had walked the dark roads too many times, and eventually he encountered a ghost.
During a challenge, Yu Duxiu nearly wiped out a minor sect of Xuanmen, which finally angered their returning patriarch.
That Xuanmen Sword Master had been lying in ambush with Yu Duxiu for ten years, and finally found an opportunity to almost kill him.
Fortunately, he was resilient and had enough trump cards to save his life. In the end, he managed to escape from the hands of that Xuanmen Sword Master and save his life at the cost of his innate sword embryo being shattered.
And as a result of misfortune, he escaped his calamity and has hope of attaining enlightenment and realizing his primordial spirit.
However, on his third audience with a Golden Immortal of the Dao Integration Realm, he received an extremely humiliating evaluation: bullying others by abusing his power and presumptuously acting as a sword cultivator.
This comment not only caused Yu Duxiu to lose face in the Taibai Sword Sect, but also made him a laughing stock in the Xuanmen (Taoist sect).
So he vowed: if he cannot defeat all the sword prodigies and kill that Xuanmen Sword Lord, he will never attain the Primordial Spirit!
He also made a hundred-year pact with the Xuanmen Sword Master who was chasing him, to determine both victory and defeat, and life and death.
In order to improve his swordsmanship, Yu Duxiu began his "performance art" of searching the world for people to duel with.
Any sword cultivator he sets his sights on will find a way to fight him.
Whether he is a Dao Foundation Sword Cultivator or a Primordial Spirit Sword Lord, as long as he excels in swordsmanship, he must have fought someone.
If you don't fight him with your sword, he will keep bothering you endlessly.
However, perhaps due to his near-death experience, or perhaps due to the evaluation of that Dao-Merging Golden Immortal, Yu Duxiu became much more restrained afterward.
He simply kept others to fight him with swords, and never again tried to kill them indiscriminately.
However, battles between sword cultivators are extremely dangerous, and it is inevitable that there will be times when one "mistakes" during the process.
Therefore, very few people are willing to fight him.
Everyone treated him like dirt and avoided him whenever possible. Even the Yuan Shen Sword Lord, who came looking for him, showed no mercy and often resorted to ruthless attacks.
However, after surviving more than ten near-death experiences, Yu Duxiu still showed no remorse and remained unconventional.
Bai Cang had only one thought in his mind: This person is insane!
What kind of "overpowered" life and mentality is this?
But at that moment, Yu Duxiu's nightmarish voice rang in Bai Cang's ears.
"Brother Bai, I see that you have a clear understanding of swordsmanship. Would you be interested in a sword duel?"
