My Seven Sisters Are Stunningly Beautiful (The Return of the Gods)

Yu Yini's fantasies about Lu Yun gradually faded away.

What's more, Lu Yun's progress was rapid, and she knew that she could never catch up with him. She even had a sense of crisis in her heart, worrying that Lu Yun would abandon her.

In order not to fall too far behind, she practiced even harder and asked Taoist Master Taixu questions whenever she had the chance. Over the past five years, she has gained a lot.

One day five years later, Yu Yini finally broke through to the most powerful level of gods and demons, and her realm was perfect. She was only one step away from breaking through to become a god.

She excitedly ran to Lu Yun and Liu Xuanji, showing off her achievements like a child.

Although she no longer dared to have any improper thoughts about Lu Yun because of Liu Xuanji's existence, she would be satisfied as long as she could follow Lu Yun and help her practice.

Lu Yun and Liu Xuanji were also happy for her, and the three of them practiced and exchanged experiences, getting along very comfortably.

The relationship between Lu Yun and Liu Xuanji became closer and closer. They often had intimate actions, but they never broke the last layer of window paper, as if they were a pair of confidantes who understood each other.

Liu Xuanji also refined the essence of Linglong Pagoda during these five years, so that it can exert even more powerful power.

In addition to cultivating two Taoist bodies, Lu Yun's understanding of the way of the sword has also become more profound, pointing directly to the essence of the Tao.

A breeze blew across the top of Taixu Peak, bringing with it a burst of clear sword spirit. Lu Yun was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, holding an ancient long sword in his hand, with colorful light faintly flowing on the sword body.

Over the past five years, his sword skills have become more and more advanced, but he still feels that something is missing, like looking at flowers in the fog, and he can never touch the true meaning of swordsmanship.

Taoist Master Taixu came over and looked at Lu Yun with a hint of admiration and a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Your talent in swordsmanship is one of the best in the entire Dahong Sword Heaven, but..." He paused, "It seems that you are a little too eager for success and have lost your direction."

Lu Yun stood up and bowed respectfully to Taoist Master Taixu. "My disciple is stupid, please give me some advice."

Taoist Taixu stroked his beard and said slowly: "Do you know that my disciples of Dahong Jiantian all start practicing swordsmanship by cultivating swords?"

Lu Yun was stunned. Cultivating the sword? He had only heard of cultivating qi and cultivating the spirit, but had never heard of cultivating the sword.

“Maintaining a sword is not simply about maintaining the sword, but about gaining a deep understanding of the sword in your hand.”

Taoist Taixu explained, "You need to understand its origin, material, function, category, fighting method, and even its former owner. Only when you can achieve unity between man and sword can you unleash the sword's maximum power."

Lu Yun suddenly realized that he had only focused on the power of sword moves and the understanding of sword intent, but ignored the understanding of the sword itself.

He is like a craftsman who only knows the results but not the reasons. Although he can create exquisite swords, he cannot give them soul.

"To comprehend the essence of swordsmanship, one cannot just stay on the surface, but must be rooted in reality and refer to the essence."

Taoist Taixu continued, "Moreover, the great ways are interconnected. If the way of the sword encounters a bottleneck, you might as well look for a breakthrough from other great ways."

"Just like me, my main training was not the Way of Thunder, but when I hit a bottleneck, I comprehended the Great Way of Thunder and gained a very high level of attainment in the Way of Thunder."

Taoist Taixu said with a hint of self-mockery, "Speaking of which, it is also an interesting story."

"Disciple understands." Lu Yun seemed to be thinking, "The Five Elements Sword Dao and Yin-Yang Sword Dao that I practiced actually have some connection with other Heavenly Daos, but I have not explored it deeply."

Taoist Taixu's teachings were like the light that cleared away the fog, making Lu Yun's thoughts gradually clearer.

He finally realized that he had been too obsessed with kendo itself, which restricted his own development.

"What the Taoist said reminds me of the scholars in the Imperial Star Huaxia country who studied ancient cultural subjects."

Lu Yun said, "They studied ancient books meticulously, not missing any details. It is this rigorous attitude that enables them to restore the truth of history."

"You are able to draw inferences from one instance to another." Taoist Taixu nodded approvingly, "Only a sect with a long tradition like our Dahong Jiantian has such rich information, allowing me to guide you accurately."

Although he had a direction, Lu Yun still felt confused about the road ahead, as if he was walking in the dark. Although he could see clearly within a few dozen meters ahead, it was still pitch black further away.

He understood that his confusion mainly came from the Great Unified Sword Dao. The five-year agreement was coming soon, and if he could not comprehend the Great Unified Sword Dao, he would probably miss this opportunity.

"Master," Lu Yun pretended to ask casually, "I heard Senior Brother Yi Tianxing mention the Great Unified Sword Dao. I wonder..."

When Taoist Taixu heard the words "Great Unified Sword Dao", he was stunned for a moment, then his expression became a little strange. "Yi Tianxing, that kid, is really misleading the students!"

Lu Yun's heart tightened. Could it be that the unified sword art did not exist at all?

"The Great Unified Sword Art is just a theoretical statement. Its creator is the Taoist Master Wansheng." Taoist Master Taixu said slowly, with a hint of awe and a hint of regret in his tone.

"Master of Ten Thousand Saints?" Lu Yun had never heard of this name.

"The Wansheng Dao Lord is a man of extraordinary talent. His strength is so strong that even if he fails to merge with the Dao, he is still stronger than many immortal Dao emperors who succeeded in merging with the Dao."

A trace of reminiscence flashed in the eyes of Taoist Taixu. "He once hunted down an Immortal Dao Emperor for billions of years. In the end, that Immortal Dao Emperor was forced to self-destruct before he was able to escape."

"Master Wansheng..." The voice of Master Taixu was a little ethereal, as if it had penetrated endless time and space.

"He was an earth-shattering figure. Back then, even the Dao Emperor praised him, saying that he had a great chance of succeeding in merging with the Dao. If he succeeded, he would definitely be a top Dao Emperor, and killing his enemy, the Dao Emperor, would be as easy as taking something from a sack."

Lu Yun listened quietly, his heart filled with curiosity about this Taoist Master of All Saints, whom he had never heard of.

"What a pity! Heaven is jealous of talented people," said Taoist Taixu with a stronger tone of regret, "Hatred blinded his reason, and he ultimately failed in his attempt to achieve the Dao, and died."

Taoist Taixu paused, as if recalling that ancient history, "After his failure, he became even more crazy, and hunted down the forces and clansmen of his enemy, the Taoist Emperor, for hundreds of millions of years, until the last trace of his soul was destroyed..."

"Then what about the path to great unification..." Lu Yun asked cautiously.

Taoist Taixu snorted coldly: "Before he died, he spread this so-called theory of the Great Unification Dao, saying that it could integrate all the Daos and achieve the supreme. What was the result? Countless people tried to practice it, but they all ended up in failure. It was considered an unrealistic fantasy."

"Then what about the great unified sword art..." Lu Yun asked.
