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

Taoist Anqing and others came to Lu Yun, each chose a sacred tree, and began to try to pick the holy fruit. However, they were soon dumbfounded. No matter how hard they tried, they could not touch the holy fruit, as if there was an invisible barrier isolating them from the outside.

"What's going on?" A Heaven-Defying Dao Master was puzzled. "I have clearly obtained the permission to pick the fruits, so why can't I pick them?"

Others also tried various methods, and some even used their own Dao power, but it was still useless. They tried hundreds of methods, but still could not pick even one Holy Dao fruit.

At this time, Lu Yun had already collected most of the Holy Dao Fruits, with only the last hundred or so left. A thousand Heavenly Dao Bodies gathered together and transformed into Lu Yun's figure again. He looked at the people in front of him who were in a state of panic and asked in surprise, "Why don't you pick them? Are you planning to let me take them all?"

Daoist Master Anqing looked unhappy. He knew that Lu Yun was deliberately humiliating them, but he still said, "Daoist Fellow Lu Yun, please be merciful and leave these one hundred Saint Dao Fruits."

"Oh? You want it?" Lu Yun looked at them with a half-smile, "Then do you know how to pick it?"

A master of the Nitian Dao asked tentatively: "Daoist Lu Yun, can you tell us how to pick them? We are willing to owe you a favor and will repay you in the future."

Lu Yun smiled contemptuously: "Your favors are of little value to me."

This statement deeply hit Anqing Daoist Master and others. Although they were angry, they were powerless to refute. Lu Yun's strength was there, and they were no match for him at all.

Seeing how dejected they all were, Lu Yun said, "Okay, I was just kidding you. How could I be so stingy? I can't tell you how to pick the fruits directly, but I can give you a direction. Whether you can comprehend it depends on your own luck."

"If you succeed, you'll owe me a favor. If you fail, just pretend I never said anything."

After saying that, Lu Yun left behind the eight words "Power of Rules, Seal of Authority" and turned to leave the Sacred Forest, leaving Taoist Anqing and the others staring at each other in bewilderment.

Seeing Lu Yun leaving, Daoist Master Anqing and the others felt mixed emotions. They knew that the more than one hundred Saint Dao Fruits and the eight words left by Lu Yun were a test for them.

After Lu Yun left the sacred forest, he did not immediately go to the next area, but silently calculated in his mind. He gained a lot this time, not only did he get a lot of holy fruits, but he also had a new idea.

"I have a lot of things to do, such as the protection and construction of the Taicang human race and the management of cultivation resources. These all require manpower to handle. Although the Three Thousand Heavenly Dao Bodies are useful, it would be a bit of a waste to use them to handle these trivial matters."

"They should focus on cultivation." Lu Yun thought to himself, "I need to build my own force, a powerful force that can share the pressure for me and help me achieve the supreme path."

"Although the hopes of Daoist Anqing and his people to achieve immortality are slim, their fighting power is still good. Perhaps I can recruit them under my command." Lu Yun already had a preliminary plan in mind. "I want to build an imperial domain to protect my people, my relatives and friends. Daoist Anqing and his people may become the first group of guardians of my imperial domain."

In the sacred forest, after some attempts, Anqing Daoist Master and his companions finally found a way to pick the holy Dao fruit. They divided the remaining more than 100 holy Dao fruits equally, and everyone got a good harvest.

"The power of rules, the mark of authority..." Daoist Master Anqing looked at the Holy Dao Fruit in his hand and muttered to himself, "Daoyou Lu Yun's advice is indeed exquisite. We owe him a favor, and this favor must be quite large..."

Lu Yun left the third passage and came to the area where the second passage was located. He glanced at the picking token in his hand and sneered. "What kind of treasure will be waiting for me in the next area?"

He flashed and rushed in the direction indicated by the picking token.

The Zhenxuan Palace is indeed worthy of its reputation, Lu Yun thought to himself. This Zhenxuan Palace is divided into five areas, and the pattern of each area is similar to the sacred forest in the third area, but the picking authority is not universal. In other words, the picking authority he obtained in the third area cannot be used in other areas.

Lu Yun picked almost all the holy fruits in the third area, leaving only a hundred or so for Daoist Master Anqing and his companions. He estimated that with the power of rules that Daoist Master Anqing and his companions controlled, they might not be able to pick all the remaining holy fruits.

After leaving the third passage, Lu Yun came to the area where the second passage was located. The token showed that this area was called "Time and Space Corridor".

As soon as he stepped into the time and space corridor, Lu Yun felt a strong force of time rushing towards him. Looking around, the scene here is almost exactly the same as that in the third area, also a sacred forest with 18,000 holy fruits growing on it.

Moreover, someone has already taken the lead and is trying to pick the Holy Path Fruit.

Lu Yun was slightly stunned, then relieved. He thought that Daoist Master Anqing and the others had already mastered the method of picking and had entered this area in some way.

He walked up the stairs, observing the surroundings along the way. When he got close to the top of the stairs, he found that the way ahead was blocked by a formation that flashed with strange light.

Through the formation, Lu Yun saw eight Heaven-Defying Dao Masters inside, who were none other than Dao Master Anqing and others whom he had met in the third area. However, at this moment, they all looked weak and had injuries on their bodies, and it was obvious that they had experienced a fierce battle.

Lu Yun was confused. Based on his understanding of the armored warriors, it seemed that the injuries of these heaven-defying masters were not caused by the armored warriors.

At this time, Daoist Master Anqing and others also discovered Lu Yun. One of them, Daoist Master Ye Longde, struggled to stand up and bowed to Lu Yun: "Daoist Fellow Lu Yun, nice to meet you."

Lu Yun nodded and asked directly: "What happened to you? Why are you all injured?"

Taoist Master Ye Longde smiled bitterly and sighed, "It's a shame to say that we were ambushed."

"A sneak attack?" Lu Yun frowned slightly. "Who did it?"

“Daoist Master Yuying.” Daoist Master Ye Longde gritted his teeth and said, “He is a fierce general under the command of Emperor Xuelian. He brought a dozen Daoist Master-level helpers with him and suddenly attacked us.”

"Master of the Flat Infant Sect?" Lu Yun's heart was moved. He had heard of this name before. On the list of the Taoist masters who defied the heavens, Master of the Flat Infant Sect had been ranked second or third. He was extremely powerful, and he was elusive and extremely difficult to deal with.

"Daoist Fellow Lu Yun, you have to be careful of this Daoist Master Yuying." Daoist Master Ye Longde warned, "Since he is a member of the Blood Refining Emperor, and you have a grudge against the Blood Refining Emperor, he may take the opportunity to attack you."
