Chapter 720

The Great Elder's popularity was clearly several grades better than Daoist Daoist Bu Yu's. When he was promoted to the Tribulation Transcendence stage, the entire Wen Dao Sect celebrated, and it was full of joy.

Three days later, that scene of jubilation gradually disappeared.

"So this is the legendary Shadow-Carrying Sword." Daoist Daoist Bu Yu stroked the Shadow-Carrying Sword, unable to put it down. A good disciple is indeed capable; back then, he had wanted to gain the recognition of the Shadow-Carrying Sword in the Sword Treasury, but unfortunately, he failed and could only choose a second-rate spirit sword.

And Lu Yang's Green Edge Sword, which came with its own small world, also made him very envious.

Daoist Daoist Bu Yu's spirit sword was also not an ordinary item, but a growth-type spirit treasure that could continuously improve its grade as his cultivation increased, growing along with Daoist Daoist Bu Yu. Even, as long as one was willing to use the materials, it wasn't impossible for it to step into the "Immortal" grade.

"I heard that Liu Ningxuan's sword reached the Immortal Sword level before he even cultivated to the half-immortal stage. It really is remarkable." Daoist Daoist Bu Yu felt a bit of regret; he heard that Liu Ningxuan had just died at the Sword Tower, so he had no chance to spar with this legend of the sword path.

But then again, now that the Sword Tower Supreme had been resurrected, he could spar with the Sword Tower Supreme.

It definitely wouldn't work now; his cultivation wasn't enough, and the quality of his sword wasn't enough, so he still needed to become stronger.

"I heard that at the Sword Asking Ceremony, you displayed the Wan Jian Return to Sect?"

"Yes."

Daoist Daoist Bu Yu looked at Lu Yang with satisfaction. He didn't expect that Lu Yang would have learned this move before he even taught it to him.

"Come, show me once."

Lu Yang spread out the embryonic form of his Sword Dao Domain, and countless Green Edge Swords emerged from the ground and the sky, stern as hell.

He raised the real Green Edge Sword, and the Green Edge Swords stuck in the ground and sky broke through their seals and merged with the real Green Edge Sword, the sword momentum surging by more than three feet!

"The embryonic form of the Sword Dao Domain and Wan Jian Return to Sect? Come, give me a sword strike." Daoist Daoist Bu Yu's eyes lit up, wanting to experience its power.

To have grasped seven or eight tenths of it after seeing it once—he really was an incredible sword path genius.

"Taking a shortcut?"

"Sit down, I'll explain it to you slowly." On the summit of Tianmen Peak, there were only Lu Yang and Daoist Daoist Bu Yu.

Yun Mengmeng and Gan Tian were not interested in the sword path. Gan Tian found a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to play the zither, while Yun Mengmeng used a package to wrap the small snacks she bought from the cafeteria, listening to Gan Tian play the zither while lying on a large rock in the river eating snacks.

The cafeteria's snacks could be used as weapons, but Yun Mengmeng was no pushover; her Tribulation Transcendence stage teeth were amazingly powerful, and eating the cafeteria's snacks was no different from eating ordinary snacks.

As for Yun Zhi, she claimed she wasn't interested in the sword path and also went to the riverside to listen to the zither.

"I heard from people that when you and Ming Tai were sparring, it turned into a sword qi duel at the end, and you couldn't tell who was better after dozens of clashes, until you finally displayed the Wan Jian Return to Sect and won the victory."

"This reflects a problem: the sword qi you and Ming Tai displayed each time was the limit, but this is the limit of sword qi condensing into a form, not your own limit. If it were your limit, you should have been exhausted after displaying sword qi once."

"The Wan Jian Return to Sect you displayed was turning the Green Edge Sword formed by sword qi back into the appearance of sword qi and taking it back. Doing this raised the limit of the sword qi."

Lu Yang understood Master's meaning; that is to say, his Wan Jian Return to Sect increased his explosive power.

Then Daoist Daoist Bu Yu changed the subject: "However, this is not the original intent of the Wan Jian Return to Sect."

"The Wan Jian Return to Sect is to concentrate the power of different swords into one, thereby erupting with power that exceeds the limit."

Lu Yang recalled that when the Sword Tower Supreme fought the Ying Tian Corpse, he fused all the spirit swords in the Sword Treasury into the Han Guang Sword; this was exactly the situation Master was talking about.

"Come, Master will teach you how to grasp the original intent of the Wan Jian Return to Sect."

"The Wan Jian Return to Sect first requires you to resonate with other swords. The Wan Jian Return to Sect you displayed before lacked this step, which is why I said it was a shortcut."

"After that, you take the Green Edge Sword as the main one and let the resonance of the other swords gradually reach consistency with the Green Edge Sword..."

"It is best to resonate when the momentum of the Green Edge Sword reaches its peak..."

"..."

Daoist Daoist Bu Yu described it simply. If it were someone else, like the Immortal Fairy, she would definitely be confused, but to Lu Yang, it was very easy to understand what it meant.

Lu Yang's eyes shone, and he repeatedly deduced in his heart, constantly pondering the original intent of the Wan Jian Return to Sect.

"Let me try."

Lu Yang took out the Shadow-Carrying Sword and the Seven Star Sword set in turn, making Daoist Daoist Bu Yu's eyes extremely envious.

Lu Yang stood still, and ripples spread across the lawn under his feet, as if they had been slashed by sword qi. The Shadow-Carrying Sword and the Seven Star Sword set trembled continuously, finally reaching the same frequency as the Green Edge Sword, and flew into the Green Edge Sword, merging into one.

"Ha!"

Lu Yang slashed at Daoist Daoist Bu Yu again. The sword qi was like a waterfall, pouring down for a thousand miles. A silver light flashed, and it was once again caught between Daoist Daoist Bu Yu's two fingers.

"Good!" Daoist Daoist Bu Yu laughed loudly, not expecting that after a little guidance, Lu Yang would grasp the true meaning of the Wan Jian Return to Sect!

He flicked his wrist, throwing Lu Yang and the Green Edge Sword away, while his right hand was behind his back, continuously rubbing his index and middle fingers.

The power of this sword strike exceeded his imagination.

Lu Yang did two somersaults and stood firm; the Shadow-Carrying Sword and the Seven Star Sword set both fell out.

Daoist Daoist Bu Yu walked up with a big smile on his face: "Well done! If you practice diligently, you will definitely be able to display the Wan Jian Return to Sect skillfully... Little Lu?"

Daoist Daoist Bu Yu found Lu Yang staring blankly at the eight swords on the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Lu Yang came back to his senses and asked: "Master, is this Wan Jian Return to Sect too flashy to display?"

Daoist Daoist Bu Yu nodded. The scene of the Wan Jian Return to Sect is grand and handsome, especially when the ten thousand swords resonate and shake, returning to their positions one after another; it is indeed flashy, which is why it is deeply loved by sword cultivators.

Then Lu Yang asked again: "But if the move is flashy, doesn't that mean the opponent knows you are about to display the Wan Jian Return to Sect, giving the opponent time to react?"

"This is indeed a flaw of the Wan Jian Return to Sect." This could lead to the opponent dodging or charging up their own move.

A thought gradually emerged in Lu Yang's heart: "Then if I hide the Shadow-Carrying Sword and the Seven Star Sword set in the Green Edge Sword's small world, and when I display the Wan Jian Return to Sect, the nine swords become one, and nothing can be seen from the outside, wouldn't the opponent not know I displayed the Wan Jian Return to Sect and be caught off guard?"

Daoist Daoist Bu Yu did not respond, but silently patted Lu Yang on the shoulder.

"Remember, in the future, tell others that you figured out this move yourself; it has nothing to do with Master."
