Chapter 269.
There was no doubt about it.
The Thirty-six Flying Heavenly Sword Formation was meant to be stronger than the Thirty Flying Heavenly Sword Formation.
Not only because more flying swords are needed, but also because the 36 Flying Sword Formation is the advanced version of the 30 Flying Sword Formation.
The sword formation was more subtle and complex, and the power of its combination into a formation was naturally more terrifying and powerful.
“Nowadays.
My Thirty Flying Sky Sword Formation has entered the stage of great completion.
If I want to continue practicing and raise it to the consummate stage, it will take at least three to five days.
This is too long for me who desperately wants to improve my combat power nowadays.
It would be better to turn to cultivating the Thirty-Six Flying Sword Formation.
With my background, it’s not difficult to get started.
And once initiated.
It should also be much easier to improve.
At the very least, within two or three hours, I should be able to cultivate to the proficient, or even minor achievement level.
And once the Thirty-Six Flying Sword Formation reached proficiency, its power would not be much weaker than the Thirty Flying Sword Formation at the Grand Completion stage.
If it reaches minor completion, its sword formation power will even be above the Thirty Flying Sword Formation at the Grand Completion Stage ……”
tan san pondered silently.
Although the exact amount of enhancement was not easy for him to judge because he hadn’t actually succeeded in cultivating it.
However, from his previous experience of cultivating the Twelve Flying Sky Sword Formation, Eighteen Flying Sky Sword Formation, and Twenty-four Flying Sky Sword Formation, almost all of them were able to be strengthened by two or three percent.
“A little bit of enhancement, even if it’s not bad.
Two or three percent.
At some point, it’s even a qualitative leap.”
There was no hesitation at all.
After a slight rest, tan san immersed his mind and began to turn to cultivating the Thirty-Six Flying Heavenly Sword Formation.
Along the way.
tan san cultivated the sword formation method, and his understanding of the Dao of the Sword had already reached an incomparably profound level.
At this time, when he went to cultivate the 36 Flying Sky Sword Formation, because of the inheritance of the same lineage, the subtle changes in it, he could know the root cause of it with just one sweep, and was even able to deduce the next trend of the Sword Dao by example, correspondingly.
This was like a senior student turning his head to learn the contents of elementary school.
It didn’t feel the slightest bit difficult at all.
tan san only slightly speculated, and after clarifying the principle of operation and the idea of the sword formation’s trend, he directly began to cultivate.
With a movement of his mind!
Inside the storage bag, a flying sword, just like a swimming fish, quickly flew out.
Then under his control, it turned into a rain of swords and quickly swept forward.
And while the flying swords were flying out, they were also automatically combining into a formation, the sword body and the sword marks cooperated to form a unique sword formation situation, until they flew ten feet away, the last ring of the sword formation was successful.
The sword array was formed!
Instantly.
tan san’s heart moved.
A sword blasted out.
Rumble!
The great formation shook, and the void rolled up layers of huge waves.
The impact clattered above the distant mountain wall.
This was a phenomenon triggered by the mountain walls not being able to withstand the squeezing of the remaining momentum of the sword formation.
“Thirty-six Flying Sky Sword Formation, initiated.
Moreover, just after forming the formation, the power is already not small.”
tan san estimated that the might of this sword was already not much weaker than the full force strike of an average Foundation Establishment 4th layer cultivator.
Most importantly, the aura of these countless flying swords rushing out was too prevalent.
The moment the sword formation was made, some people’s guts would scatter in general.
Even if they were barely able to block it, they couldn’t afford to put up much resistance, and naturally, they would be even less of an opponent.
“To say that this sword array method, the only weakness is the early stage, the period of time when the combination is formed into an array, and the corresponding casting distance ……”
There was no doubt about the power of this sword formation method.
However, it was not to say that this sword formation method did not have a weakness.
Its weakness was actually quite obvious.
That was the time to combine into a formation, and the distance to cast it.
Take this Thirty-six Flying Sword Formation as an example.
From the time the flying swords flew out, to the time it was combined into a formation, it would take nine breaths of time.
Although the momentum was amazing, if the other party made a decisive move, it would easily form a disturbance, thus preventing his sword formation from being executed.
Although, after the proficiency level was increased afterwards, and he reached the proficient level, he should be able to shorten it to five, six breaths of time, but it was still a bit too long.
The only way to truly utilize the corresponding combat power was to cultivate to the level of minor or even major accomplishment, and complete the combination of the sword formation within three breaths of time.
There was also the distance aspect.
Flying swords fly out, a full ten feet away, this sword formation method is considered to be the combination is complete.
If the position of the two opposing sides is farther away, it’s not a problem.
But if it is closer, it is very inconvenient.
This also needs to be cultivated to proficiency, minor success, or even major success, before it can be improved.
“At the grand completion stage, within three feet, the arrangement of the sword formation method can be completed.
Then, at that time, no matter if it is a distant attack or a close fight, it will be able to utilize the corresponding power.”
tan san’s heart was slightly at ease.
For the sake of today’s plan, there was no other way but to cultivate and train as hard as possible.
Thus, without stopping, he began practicing once more.
Then came the third time, the fourth time.
After the fifth time of casting, tan san swept his eyes at the attribute panel in passing.
“Thirty-six Flying Sword Formation (Introductory 95/100).
Speed, much faster than I thought.
Immediately, it will reach the Proficient level?”
Seeing this, tan san was delighted in his heart.
On the contrary, he did feel his progress.
If at the beginning, when he performed the sword formation method, the time required was nine breaths, and by the time he completed the sword formation, the flying swords had already flown out ten feet.
Then at this time, the same thirty-six flying sword array, he only needed eight breaths of time to cast completed, and when completed, the flying sword only flew out nine feet ……
It seemed to have been reduced by only one breath of time.
But what it represented was completely different.
It likewise indicated that he was able to exert a stronger strength in a shorter period of time.
The increase in his strength was also very obvious.
He was planning to take a leap of faith and go along with the trend of cultivating the Thirty-Six Flying Heavenly Sword Formation to the proficient level.
As if he had remembered something, he hastily used his Great Cave Heaven Viewing once again and began to observe the movements within the Divine Wind Valley’s workshop market.
In fact.
Between his cultivation breaks, every once in a while, he would make the Great Cave Skywatch and observe.
“This Ye Vast One has finally gone out?
However, it’s not far from the Place Master’s Mansion, only a hundred feet.
With such a close distance, there isn’t even the slightest chance.”
tan san was the first to observe that Ye Vast One’s location, and his heart was first delighted, but he soon noticed that he hadn’t left the Place Master’s Mansion by much at all, and was drinking spirit wine and tasting spirit treasures in a restaurant separated by more than a hundred feet.
It had to be said that those spirit treasures on the food table, which one to take out was luxury, among them, the white jade speckled fish that could moisturize the body and mind and get rid of the impurities and dan poisons in the body of the cultivator was not even too eye-catching among them.
“Extravagant ah, just this meal, casually requires ten to twenty thousand lower grade spirit stones.”
tan san shook his head with emotion.
As for the person who invited the guests, he had seen it before.
It was the patriarch of an Immortal Cultivation Family in the Divine Wind Valley.
This was actually a very normal thing.
After all, it was someone from a large family, no matter what the public opinion was, their insights, and the resources they had at their disposal were all something those small Immortal Cultivation Families could only dream of. But wherever a single star was leaked out, it would be enough for them to be used endlessly.
tan san observed slightly for a while, confirming that the other party had no intention of going out, and could only avert his gaze.
Ye Yanxiu had already returned to his own cultivation chamber at this time, silently diving into something, but it was Sister Shen who was ……
tan san’s eyes moved slightly.
A smile could not help but appear on his face.
After a period of seclusion, at this time, she had finally passed through the most difficult Divine Sense Pass barrier and had officially completed her breakthrough.
At this moment, the final step, the process of transforming spiritual energy into true essence, was beginning.
This process, although equally difficult, but compared to the previous Foundation Establishment three levels of difficulty, naturally countless times easier.
It just required a certain amount of time for the water to wear off.
“In that case, I’ve finally let go of the last trace of worry.
Today’s Sister Shen is considered to have completely completed her breakthrough.
It can already truly be considered a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.”
tan san had a smile on his face and did not pay any more attention to it, then he plunged back into the cultivation of the Thirty-six Flying Sword Formation.
Time passed in the blink of an eye.
Soon, the sky darkened measurably.
It was also at this time.
tan san stretched his hand forward.
Buzz!
Countless sword shadows, swiftly flew out, tracing a graceful arc, then in the blink of an eye, they combined into a special formation.
Between the flying swords and the sword shadows, the head and tail were connected, and then under the flow of tan san’s true essence, a special dazzling light was emitted, and then they merged into one, combining to form a huge sword-shaped shadow.
As soon as the shadow was formed, the void shook slightly, as if it could not withstand the existence of this sword shadow.
Then under tan san’s control, it stabbed forward!
Boom!
The void shook and slightly collapsed down.
There was actually a sense of space collapsing.
“The power of this sword.
It’s really not weak anymore.
It’s more than 20% stronger than even the Thirty Flying Sky Sword Formation in its grand completion.
This is, the Thirty-Six Flying Sky Sword Formation, a small completion?”
tan san thought like this in his heart.
Suddenly, he felt a stream of cultivation insights and experiences regarding the Thirty-six Flying Sky Sword Formation suddenly surfaced from the bottom of his heart, as if in this short period of time, he had already cultivated this sword formation method a thousand times over, and it had become purely familiar.
Some of the original levels that he did not understand, some of the sword cultivation tips, all naturally had comprehension.
It was only after a while that he absorbed and transformed the many comprehensions completely.
Only then did he land his gaze on top of the attribute panel.
“Sure enough!
Thirty-six Flying Sword Formation, a minor achievement.”
On tan san’s face, a hint of a smile immediately appeared.
The Thirty-Six Flying Heavenly Sword Formation’s small completion almost represented that his strength, on top of his original foundation, had immediately risen by a step.
Originally, his strongest strike was only able to be utilized at a level comparable to the top of the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.
Although it wasn’t weak, but actually facing a real Foundation Establishment 6th layer cultivator, it didn’t have much of an advantage, and even because of the cultivation level being a bit lower, it was very disadvantageous when it came to actually facing the enemy.
But nowadays.
The direct enhancement of his offensive means immediately allowed his actual combat power to soar, as well.
“The power of this sword.
It should have reached the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.
It’s comparable to the full power strike of a cultivator at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.
Although, in such a situation, I still don’t have much of an advantage against a true Foundation Establishment seventh layer cultivator.
However, if it was just a Foundation Establishment 6th layer, or even a Foundation Establishment 5th layer cultivator, it would be absolutely difficult to block this sword of mine.”
tan san thought in his heart, and his confidence finally increased by a large margin once again.
Previously, although he had the Minor Divine Power Minor Forbidden Spirit Technique, the Summoning Talisman Flying Sky Blood Stiffness Talisman, and the Yin Dragon Talisman.
But these were all external forces, and although their power was bound to be not weak, they had always left him somewhat bottomless.
Nowadays.
He estimated that even if he really faced that Ye Yanxiu, even if he still couldn’t beat him, he should be able to make the other party, slightly scrupulous.
Thinking about this.
tan san’s heart relaxed.
Then almost subconsciously, he made the Great Cave View of Heaven.
In an instant, the surrounding scenes, including the many scenes within that Divine Wind Valley’s workshop, were all in his eyes.
“Eh?”
Then in the very next moment, he was startled in his heart.
“Where is Ye Vast One?”
Under the large hole to view the sky, he unexpectedly failed to find any trace of the other party.
As for Ye Yanxiu.
Instead, he remained in his cultivation chamber, seemingly never leaving.
“Where did it go?”
tan san’s heart jumped, and he hurriedly landed his ‘gaze’ in the direction where Sister Shen was.
Soon after, the mind was relieved.
At this time, Sister Shen, her breath had completely smoothed out, and gradually began to rationalize the true essence in her body, once the spiritual energy in her body, was completely transformed into true essence, then she would be considered to have completely stabilized her realm, and could call herself a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator.
“In the surroundings of sister Shen, there is also no trace of that Ye Vast One.
Where did it go?”
tan san muttered to himself and hurriedly controlled the Great Cave Observatory Sky to quickly run a query.
Finally, a few breaths later, in a place in the wilderness, the other party’s traces were found.
The other party had actually walked out of the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace in the night.
Although he was traveling with him, there were several other people.
It should be the two Ye Family children who came to the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace with him.
One of them, was an old man who looked a bit thin, but don’t look at his thinness, but his strength was not weak.
The fifth level of Foundation Establishment.
It was the second tricky character tan san had envisioned before, besides Ye Yanxiu.
The other one, was a middle-aged strong man with a face full of transverse flesh and a bared chest, even though he did not show it intentionally, it was not difficult for people to guess how much terrifying explosive power was contained in it.
This was a physical cultivator.
Third level of Foundation Establishment.
However, body cultivators have always been not weak.
Competing in the same realm, they were often even able to be stronger than ordinary cultivators, by a large margin.
In actual battle power, it should also be able to compare to a Foundation Establishment fourth layer cultivator.
Two people.
Should be that Ye Vast One’s accompanying, Daoist protector general character.
It was also the biggest trouble tan san had envisioned before, other than Ye Yanxiu.
It was just that compared to Ye Yanxiu’s strength that could crush everything, these two people were not as big a threat to tan san as he had imagined, so they were not on his mind.
Of course, the caution that should be there, he would naturally have.
The previous plan of a single strike and ending the battle within ten breaths could also include the case of these two interfering.
“But what is the reason for them suddenly walking out of the Divine Wind Valley’s workshop this time?”
Immediately afterward, a curious look appeared on tan san’s face.
Then, his heart stirred as he remembered the sudden vibration of the Green Leaf Token from before.
He instantly realized.
It turned out that this Ye Vast One, was actually planning to head to the black market.
