Gu Changfeng, once the famous "Lingxiao Sword Master" in the immortal world, was deprived of his immortal bones because of violating a taboo, and was demoted to the mortal world with incomplete memory and lost all his cultivation. When he woke up, he found himself in a mortal world with thin spiritual energy, solidified and declining cultivation system. The people here are stuck in a rut and follow an ancient and incomplete set of cultivation methods that are difficult to break through.
Although Gu Changfeng lost his immortal power, he retained his "Tao heart" as a sword master and his deep understanding of "Tao". He discovered that the reason why the cultivation system in the mortal world has stagnated is because there are fundamental errors in its basic theory and it seriously deviates from the essence of "Tao". He decided not to try to go back to the old path, but to use his mortal body to combine his Taoist insights from his previous life and his mortal perspective in this life to create a brand new cultivation system that was more in line with the principles of heaven and earth - "The Art of Returning to the Origin without Form".
This set of exercises does not seek spiritual roots, nor does it emphasize qualifications. It only cultivates the "original mind" and emphasizes that "all dharma returns to its origin, and the great road has no form." It abandons the strict requirements of traditional exercises on the attributes of spiritual energy, and instead guides practitioners to draw strength from the source of their own life and establish deep resonance with all things in the world. In the early days, Gu Changfeng's cultivation progress was slow and he was even ridiculed as "heresy". But with his firm belief in "Tao" and his continuous improvement of the exercises, he showed amazing results.
Most of his disciples are "waste" or "miscellaneous spiritual roots" who have been abandoned by traditional sects. However, under the guidance of Gu Changfeng, they were not only able to practice, they were even able to explode with power far beyond that of traditional monks of the same level.
