Taoism developed many powerful martial arts sects, such as the Free and Unrestrained Sects of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Without exception, the martial arts that Li Dao practiced were all evolved from Taoism. There was no conflict at all between the cultivation of the Green Lotus Sword Spell and the cultivation of the Green Lotus Sword Spell.
The Grand Dao Song of All True and the fundamental internal energy of All True were, needless to say, both righteous and peaceful Taoistic martial arts. The Nine Yin True Scriptures was also compiled by Huang Chang from the Daoist Canon of Comprehension.
Among them, the Nanhua Sword Art was derived from Zhuang Zi's theory.
The Blue Lotus Sword Canon was a martial art evolved from Taoism, but most of it came from Li Taibai's own insights.
Huang Shuang had compiled the Nine Yin Sutra through reading the Daoist Canon and understanding all sorts of Daoist philosophy, thus creating it. To put it bluntly, Huang Chang was only a summary of the martial arts principles left behind by her predecessors.
However, the Green Lotus Sword Manual was different. Most of it was Li Taibai's personal enlightenment, which was his life's work.
Li Taibai was a Confucian scholar for the first half of his life, and the Taixuan scripture he cultivated was also a Confucian technique. In the latter half of his life, he studied Taoism, sought immortality, and created the Blue Lotus Sword Scripture.
These were all speculations made by Li Dao based on the words that Li Bai had left behind in the book.
Actually, martial arts were not all that complicated. It was just that people's comprehension of heaven and earth, no matter which guild it was, was still the same. It was just that their comprehension of the principles were different.
The calmness and inactivity of the Taoists was carefree and unrestrained. The cycle of karma in Buddhism is benevolent. Confucian righteousness.
It was just an explanation of the world. The later generations did not know about this, they only knew how to copy the secret manuals left behind by their predecessors, and did not understand the philosophy behind it.
Thus, later on, people's martial arts were getting lower and lower, and even Xiantian cultivators were becoming rarer.
Those who had comprehended the concept and philosophy of martial arts had all achieved great results.
For example, Zhang Sanfeng, the grandmaster of the later generation, was the eunuch who created the Sunflower Encyclopedia.
