  If this was a long-distance race, apparently, she was faster than anyone.

  Unfortunately, love wasn't a long-distance race. White Lotus could imagine her expression of regret in the future. She thought that she could control Yun Xi by forcing him to be her maid, unfortunately, it was just her delusion.

  Love isn't as simple as one plus one, but a complex multivariate equation!

  Instinctively, White Lotus understood that Hua Huo had more than one "rival".

  If she rested easy now and thought that she could stop other females from getting close to my prince, she would finally be punished due to this!

  "Humph, you are too naive." With a mysterious smile, White Lotus looked at Yun Xi.

  Oh, my prince, how can your light be covered by this black maid uniform?

  Even if everyone thought that you were a cute girl, it would be useless.

  Love is love, it has no relationship with gender. Look at the girls of the Starwing Knights, you are the only sparkling star in their eyes.

  I have seen in the future that your silly childhood sweetheart will be crying with regret!

  ...

  "Tsk-tsk, what a strong enemy!" Hua Huo felt an unknown sense of danger, as if someone just declared war with her.

  Mumu? No, it can't be her. Hua Huo looked up at the stage and felt that Red Lotus was the most likely suspect.

  Humph, Little Xi does like the girls who are impulsive, because it's my character!

  As for White Lotus, she is a good girl. In the Water God's world, she was the first person who advised me to ally with Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword.

  Come on! I don't care who you are, because you are doomed to be beaten down by me! I won't lose even if you are a god!

  "Humph!" Hua Huo smiled confidently.

  "Ho ho." White Lotus showed a mysterious smile.

  "White Lotus, you look in a good mood today." Because she saw so many excellent new disciples, Red Lotus smiled happily.

  "Hey hey!" Mumu also smiled after seeing Yun Xi's smile.

  "..." Looking around, Mei'er shrugged her shoulder and decided to train her Star Spirit Team for a while.

  Anyway, my master has had so many girlfriends, it won't hurt him if he has a few more girlfriends, right?

  Go ahead!

  ...

  On the Sky Tower above the White Lotus Sword Palace, Phoenix was distressed.

  "Daughter, lover, or enemy, which one is the right answer?"

  Closing her eyes, she plucked her feathers and counted.

  "If it's an odd number, I'm his daughter; if it's an even number, I'm his lover."

  "One, two, three, four... seventeen. It's an odd number! Daughter?" She scratched on the body of the Sky Tower.

  She had repeated this hundreds of times. She was proud of her Augury, unfortunately, after predicting hundreds of times, she found that 33% of the answers were "daughter", 33% of the answers were "lover", and 33% of the answers were "enemies". Her Augury was totally useless!

  "Whoa! What can I do? Ouroboros, help me!" Phoenix almost went crazy.

  Unfortunately, Ouroboros was hiding in Hydra's palace and worried if any of her creditors would find her. She couldn't give Phoenix any help now!

  Chapter 382: White Lotus Sword Master

  "Let me play a hundred more rounds again!" Phoenix plucked her feathers again.

  ...

  On the ground, the most important moment for the new disciples was coming.

  "Explain the Tao" is a special tradition of the Eastern God's Domain and an extremely high honor.

  "Tao" meant the truth of the universe. It was countless people's dream to be invited to "Explain the Tao". Theoretically, even mortals could explain the truth of the Tao, but they must be a super master about "Tao". If the mortal was going to explain it.

  Most of the time, the person who explained the Tao was at the hero rank.

  "Explain the Tao" wasn't as simple as giving a lecture, the person who held it must pay for it with a lot of effort. Most masters of mortals could explain the Tao only once in their lives.

  The content of the "Explain the Tao" depended on the presider, but it must be very useful to the people who were seeking for the "Tao". Some people even gave away their fortunes for listening a certain master's "Explain the Tao".

  This time, the person who held "Explain the Tao" was the current master of the White Lotus Sword Domain, the strongest sixth ranked human in this domain, White Lotus Sword Master.

  As White Lotus Sword Master, his name had been forgotten by the public a long time ago.

  After the previous master of this sword domain passed away, he succeeded to this position hundreds of years ago. Till the twin witches exploded into prominence, he finally decided to retire.

  Today, standing at the familiar stage and looking at the young disciples, he touched his white beard with joy.

  As a human, he was already 300 years old. He knew at this age, he was no hope to break into the higher realm, the legend rank, so he only focused on teaching students now.

  Maybe there were not too many geniuses who had graduated from the White Lotus Sword Palace, but none of them lost the face of the Sword Palace after leaving.

  After Yun Hai the Sword Master left, the White Lotus Sword Domain was gradually restoring glory during his tenure.

  The hero rank didn't mean immortal. Just like the heroes in the tales, they would become old and die as time went by. As a strong human at the sixth rank, he suddenly had a presentiment that something was going to happen.

  Maybe it meant my death. He thought. 300 years was really a long time for humans.

  From the first time he held a sword, to when he followed the footsteps of his predecessors and finally reached the sixth rank, he thought highly of himself, and looked down at his identity of White Lotus Sword Master. He thought that he could step into the higher realm.

  The most desirable outcome was to enter the highest sword domain, "the Great Xia Sword Domain". He even planned to take part in the Battle God's Championship Contest after that.

  Unfortunately, he didn't accomplish any of his goals.

  There were differences between different people and different races.

  After entering the hero rank, the gap between different individuals became even wider. Especially the hero ranked beings of rare races, their race characteristics could confer them strong, incredible bonuses. Unless they were a super genius of the sword skill, humans had no chance rivalling them.

  Unfortunately, he wasn't a super genius of the sword skills, which he found out when he travelled through the Sky Sword God's Domains.

  He was the strongest genius of the White Lotus Sword Domain, however, when he went to a higher sword domain such as the Great Liang or the Great Jin, he found that he was still strong, but wasn't invincible anymore.

  He tasted a much painful failure when he and his friend went to the Three Holy Sword Domains.

  The Great Zhou, the Great Han and the Great Tang were the oldest three sword domains, and they were also called the "Three Holy Sword Domains". While there, he witnessed what the "real geniuses" were.

  Fail! Fail! Fail! He experienced too many failures in the three sword domains. Finally, he realized what the difference was between him and the real geniuses.

  The so-called talent of sword skill really existed! No matter how hard he practiced, he couldn't stride across the gap.

  His talent was the strongest in the White Lotus Sword Domain, and even in middle-level sword domains, he was entitled to be a founder of a new sect. However, in the Three Holy Sword domains, his talent was just so so.

  Maybe he could reach the last rank of the hero rank, the sixth rank after practicing hard for 100 years or 200 years, unfortunately, he had no clue about the possibility of touching the door of the legend rank.

  If an ordinary person practiced hard, the person still had a fat chance to enter the hero rank. However, it wasn’t possible to reach the legend rank even after practicing oneself a hundre
d times harder than before.

  There were billions and millions of living beings in the endless god's domains, and most living beings didn't stand any chance to even see a legend rank, not to mention to reach this realm.

  Endless years, only a very few people had entered the legend rank in the Sky Sword God's Domain, and all of them were known as "Sky Sword".

  A large water curtain flowed down behind the old man, who smiled and turned to look at the twin witches.

  They have the possibility to become "Twin Sky Swords".

  Maybe in the near future, I can retire and let them inherit my position.

  Chapter 383: Explain the Tao

  "Is he the current White Lotus Sword Master?" Looking at the old man, Yun Xi felt incredible.

  In his imagination, the White Lotus Sword Master must be a super strong, magisterial human, whose temperament could conquer everyone.

  The sixth rank was the peak of the hero rank. Everyone at this rank was the core of a god's domain.

  In the legend, the people at this rank had incredible abilities and their own god weapons. It was said that a sixth ranked being could beat down a hundred fourth ranked beings, although they were all at the hero rank.

  However, Yun Xi couldn't feel anything special from this kind old man. At that rank, he didn't look like a human who had the power to remove mountains and fill seas.

  "He had recovered his original simplicity. The old master has a good temperament." Hua Huo rarely praised a person, because there weren't too many people in the White Lotus Sword Domain that deserved her evaluation.

  She didn't pay attention to the people who were far inferior to her.

  "Unfortunately, his life force was severely injured. He can't live more than 30 years and can't fight to his full potential."

  "Oh, no wonder that I felt something strange." Yun Xi also noticed it. The traces of time had appeared on the face of the old White Lotus Sword Master.

  "Hua Huo, can you win against him?" Yun Xi was curious about that.

  "It will be a tough battle in the first ten minutes."

  "Ten minutes later, we will match each other."

  "Twenty minutes later, he will be in big trouble."

  "Thirty minutes later, I can defeat him!"

  Even though the old man was the strongest swordsman in the entire White Lotus Sword Domain, Hua Huo had confidence in herself.

  Oh, I shouldn't take her as a reference!

  Yun Xi felt that Hua Huo just became more terrible recently.

  Is it my imagination?

  In fact, Hua Huo was modest when she said that. If they really had a fight, the old man's body wouldn't be able to support him to fight for ten minutes.

  The hero rank was just a joke to her Sky Flying Bloodline.

  When the first Sky Flying Bloodline appeared, humans were still in the stage of slash-and-burn cultivation. When they saw the wings in the sky, they would kneel down and treat the figure in the sky as a god.

  ...

  "Cough, this time, I will explain what the 'Tao of Sword' is."

  The White Lotus Sword Master released his aura, covering the entire temple in it.

  He had held "Explain the Tao" over ten times. He knew it was important to dominate the scene.

  "What's the strongest 'Tao of Sword' in your hearts?"

  The old master asked all the disciples in the temple.

  "The strongest Tao of Sword should be the will of never yield!" Xia Ling, the previous number one disciple, the princess from the Great Xia Sword Domain stood up and answered.

  She was the only genius who had joined the Battle God's Championship Contest in the entire White Lotus Sword Palace.

  In the eyes of the public, apart from the twin witches and Hua Huo, her talent was the best.

  It’s no accident, she could undoubtedly touch the projection of the White Lotus Secret Treasure in the future.

  Looking at her, the old sword master remembered the time when he and his friends went to the Three Holy Sword Domains. During the dark days, the geniuses like her smashed his confidence over and over again.

  "The strongest Tao of Sword is the fastest sword! As long as I can kill my enemies before they draw their swords, I'm the strongest!"

  Bai Yun said. He was called "Flowing Light Sword", one of the most excellent geniuses who just came back from a high-level sword domain.

  "The strongest Tao of Sword can summon countless ghosts and swallow everything." Apparently, only Yin Su, the genius girl from the Ghost Sword Domain could give such an answer.

  "The strongest Tao of Sword means endless deaths and blood!" Xie Huanzhen, the "Blood Light Sword" said.

  "The strongest Tao of Sword will dominate the world!" It was the answer from Qin Su, the prince of the Great Qin Empire.

  The top ten disciples, or to be precise, the previous top ten disciples answered one by one.

  Their answers meant the Tao of Sword they believed in.

  Finally, only one person hadn't answered yet. Hua Huo, the girl who defeated all the top ten disciples.

  "I don't understand the Tao of Sword! I just brandish my sword and kill my enemy." Hua Huo said confidently.

  I don't need to understand the Tao of Sword, I will only need to crush all the enemies!

  "Ha ha... good... your ideas are all good..."

  Looking at the geniuses, the old sword master smiled.

  Not everyone could answer his question. Most of the time, the presider of "Explain the Tao" would ask similar questions at the end of their lectures, and only the real geniuses could hear these questions.

  They were the hopes of the White Lotus Sword Palace, although most of them wouldn't come back after being blessed by the projection of the secret treasure, however, their learning experience in this sword palace wouldn't disappear.

  He was already an old man. The future of the White Lotus Sword Domain could only rely on these young disciples. They would make White Lotus Sword Domain become a middle-level sword domain again!

  He had a strong feeling that he didn't need to wait for it too long.

  "Your ideas about the Tao of Sword are good, however, do you know what's the Tao of the Sword of Yun Hai the Sword Master?" This time, White Lotus Sword Master was going to tell them a secret, the Tao of Sword of Yun Hai the Sword Master!

  "Gee? Yun Hai the Sword Master..." Hua Huo rarely got serious. Even she didn't dare to look down on the secret of Yun Hai the Sword Master!

  Chapter 384: The Road of the Sword God

  Yun Hai.

  This name was the biggest pride of the entire White Lotus Sword Domain, because of him, the White Lotus Sword Domain became a middle-level sword domain in the past.

  Amongst all the 17 Sky Swords in the entire history of the Sky Sword God's Domain, he was the only Sky Sword from a lower-level sword domain that obtained the title "Deicide".

  Even after ten thousand years, the people in the White Lotus Sword Domain wouldn't forget his name.

  The books about him were numerous, which could even fill up a hundred book shelves.

  Why did so many geniuses come to this remote sword domain from middle-level and even high-level sword domains?

  Did they really come to learn the several "poor" sword skills the White Lotus Sword Palace had? Everyone knew that it wasn't possible.

  The White Lotus Secret Treasure, to be precise, the projection of the secret treasure was a treasure Sword Master Yun Hai left for the entire sword domain after he became a Sky Sword, it was the only reason that the geniuses like Xia Ling the princess of the Great Xia Empire stayed here.

  "The Tao of Sword Master Yun Hai... isn't it his Yun Hai's Quadrant Sword?" Xia Ling was the first who asked. As the previous strongest female swordsman, she knew the White Lotus Sword Domain like the palm of her own hand.

  It was said that the legendary White Lotus Secret Treasure was the key that changed Yun Hai's life.

  Before Yun Xi was known as a Sky Sword, he was unknown to the public. A lot of people had
various guesses about his identity and origin.

  Some people said that Yun Hai was a child of god from the Western God's Domain, after touching the secret treasure, his memory of his past life was aroused, so he could be so strong.
