There were four towers in total.
Three of them were seven-story towers and one was nine-story tower.
"What are these towers?"
Fang Qiu asked curiously, pointing to the four towers on the square.
"Seven-story Tower of Seclusion and Tower of Trial."
Wei Jian replied with a smile, "These seven-story towers are specially prepared for the disciples of the Sword Pavilion. They can isolate all sounds and disturbances from the outside world, and they can easily enter a meditative state in it. It's a good place for cultivation. The effect of the first floor is similar to that of Laozi's relics. The effect will be better with each floor. I heard that the effect of the seventh floor is twice that of the first floor."
"Oh?"
Fang Qiu was surprised.
The effect of cultivation on the seventh floor was twice that of the first floor. Didn't that mean that the effect of cultivation on the seventh floor was twice that of Laozi's relics?
The Qi of Heaven and Earth contained in Laozi's relics was extremely rich.
The effect of cultivation in it was very significant. Although the Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Sword Pavilion was not weak, it was still a little worse than that in Laozi's relics.
In this case, how could the effect of cultivation in this seven-story tower be so much stronger?
"These towers have existed since ancient times?"
Fang Qiu observed carefully and found that these four towers were very old. At first glance, he could tell that they were ancient buildings.
"Yes."
Wei Jian nodded and said, "These four towers have existed since ancient times, and the square and the pavilion behind were built by later generations."
"Only things that have been passed down from ancient times can have such benefits."
Fang Qiu nodded naturally.
Since it was a superior building, it was natural for it to have some special effects.
"What about the nine-story tower?"
Fang Qiu turned to look at the nine-story tower.
"Let's go over there first."
Wei Jian stretched out his hand and pointed to the pavilion built against the mountain behind the square and said, "Because the interior of the seven-story tower is full all year round, it's usually difficult to have a chance to enter and observe it. But the nine-story tower is different. Because it's a tower of trial, we can enter at any time. But before we go in, we'd better go over there and report to the higher-ups."
"Okay."
Fang Qiu nodded with understanding.
After all, this was the territory of the Sword Pavilion.
Fang Qiu must have gotten permission from the higher-ups of the Sword Pavilion to come here.
Since he was a guest in the Sword Pavilion, he should at least pay a visit to the host and inform him of his arrival. Otherwise, it would be too rude of him to start looking around as soon as he arrived.
"Please."
Wei Jian stretched out his hand toward the pavilion behind the square that was built against the mountain and motioned for Fang Qiu to go there.
Finished.
He took the lead, ready to lead Fang Qiu forward.
But at this moment.
"Pata, pata …"
The sound of someone running could be heard.
"Uncle-master Wei Jian."
A young Sword Pavilion disciple ran over and blocked Wei Jian's path. He smiled as he pointed at the nine levels of the tower and said, "The Sword Envoy invites you in!"
"Sword Envoy?"
Wei Jian paused and raised his eyebrows. "Can't you see that I'm welcoming guests? Why are you looking for me, Sword Envoy?"
"I know."
The young Sword Pavilion disciple nodded with a smile. "The Sword Envoys want to see this esteemed guest. The twelve Sword Envoys asked me to bring a message. If you want to enter the Sword Pavilion's restricted area, you must pass Xianguo's test!"
Finished.
The young disciple from the Sword Pavilion grinned and ran away.
Wei Jian was stunned.
"The twelve Sword Envoys are all here?"
Wei Jian turned his head and looked at Fang Qiu with a confused face. "And they want to meet at the nine levels of the tower?"
And here.
Fang Qiu,
Looked indifferent.
His eyes fell on the young Sword Pavilion disciple who had just left.
Ninth-class!
He could clearly feel that this young Sword Pavilion disciple's strength was at the peak of ninth-class and he was only one step away from guru.
Moreover, this person was obviously much younger than Yun Yangzi.
If Fang Qiu went out.
In Wulin, he would definitely be a top genius.
However, in this Sword Pavilion, he seemed ordinary and above average.
This made Fang Qiu sigh.
Sword Pavilion was indeed the biggest force in Huaxia.
It was really terrifyingly strong!
The scary thing was that the strength of Sword Pavilion was that everyone was strong, not just one person with high talent. That was to say, everyone who entered Sword Pavilion would be valued and cultivated. No one would be ignored.
It would be strange if such a force was not strong!
Moreover, the resources of Sword Pavilion must be very good. Otherwise, it would be impossible to cultivate so many geniuses at the same time.
"You see …?"
Wei Jian didn't see Fang Qiu's absent-mindedness at all. Instead, he said with a wry smile, "It's a little unreasonable for the Sword Envoys to do this. If you don't want to, I'll go and tell them."
"No need."
Fang Qiu shook his head with a smile and said, "Since it's the Sword Envoys' invitation, I'll go with you."
Then.
Led by Wei Jian, Fang Qiu walked all the way to the nine levels of the tower.
They arrived at the door of the tower.
"Martial Uncle Wei Jian, the Sword Envoys told you to wait at the door."
In front of the door, a gatekeeper said.
"At the door?"
Wei Jian curled his lips and said, "Didn't the Sword Envoys tell me to wait at the Dragon Gate?"
"No."
The gatekeeper answered honestly, "The Sword Envoys told you to wait here."
"I'm going to wait at the Dragon Gate."
Wei Jian snorted and then said to Fang Qiu, "This is the nine levels of the tower. The twelve Sword Envoys should be waiting for you inside. I guess they'll have a fight with you. If you lose, you can only come out from there. Only if you win can you go up to the tower and come out from the Dragon Gate."
"Hmm."
Fang Qiu nodded knowingly and asked, "Do you really believe that I can come out from the Dragon Gate?"
"It's not that I believe you."
Wei Jian shook his head with a wry smile and said, "After all, the twelve Sword Envoys are very powerful. I'm just angry with them."
"It seems that I'm in trouble."
Fang Qiu laughed and stepped into the nine levels of the Tower of Trials.
He entered the tower.
The space on the first level was very large.
But there was no one. It was empty. There was only an ancient stone staircase without handrails leading to the second level.
Fang Qiu stepped up the stone staircase.
It was the same on the second level.
There was still no one on the third level.
Fang Qiu didn't stop until he came to the eighth level.
It was different from the first seven levels.
The space on the eighth level was relatively smaller, but the overall space was still very large.
There were twelve chairs around the eighth level.
They surrounded the walls of the eighth level from twelve different directions, surrounding the entire space.
At this time.
There was one person sitting on each of the twelve chairs.
The first one that came into view was a young man with long white hair. He was sitting on the largest chair, holding a long black sword in his hand.
Everyone else was also holding a long sword in their hand.
"Welcome to the Sword Pavilion."
The man with long white hair stood up and cupped his hands at Fang Qiu with a smile on his face.
"You're one of the twelve Sword Envoys, right?"
Fang Qiu nodded and asked, "Not only that, how should I address you?"
"Mu Bai."
The white-haired man replied, "I heard that Brother John is one of the few top masters in Wulin who has studied tactical deployments. Therefore, my brothers and I specially invited Brother John to come over and ask for advice. What do you think, Brother John?"
"Formation?"
Fang Qiu glanced at the twelve people, then shook his head and said with a smile, "This formation doesn't look like a simple consultation."
"Since it's a consultation, I'll do my best."
Mu Bai replied, "But Brother John, don't worry. We won't go overboard!"
"It seems that it's going to be difficult for me to get out of the Dragon Gate."
Fang Qiu shook his head and said, "It's really a headache."
"Haha."
Mu Bai laughed and said, "Brother John, don't worry. The Dragon Gate is only set up to deal with the disciples of the Sword Pavilion. Moreover, you're facing twelve of us. Even if you turn back, no one will dare to laugh at you."
"That's not true."
Fang Qiu twisted his wrists and ankles and said, "Since I'm going to go all out, I definitely can't turn back. It's rare for me to come to the Sword Pavilion. I really have to go to the Dragon Gate."
Hearing that.
The twelve people all laughed.
Standing in the middle.
Fang Qiu took a deep breath.
He could clearly feel that these twelve people were very strong. Each of them was at the peak of One-flower Realm, similar to him.
However.
Although they seemed to be similar in strength, it was not necessarily the case in terms of combat effectiveness.
After all.
Fang Qiu was someone who killed a Little Saint in the Two Flower Realm!
"Formation!"
Mu Bai shouted in a deep voice.
The other eleven people instantly stood up.
The six people, numbered 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11, drew their long swords at the same time and stepped forward, surrounding Fang Qiu.
And the people, numbered 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12, surrounded the outer circle, forming the opposite of the inner circle.
"Buzz …"
A strong aura suddenly burst out from the twelve people, as if they were a whole. Fang Qiu did not even feel the energy disperse.
The energy that burst out from the twelve people directly condensed into an energy formation, covering the entire space of the eighth floor.
An incomparably powerful Sword Essence immediately permeated the air.
"Sword formation?"
Fang Qiu raised his eyebrows.
He immediately thought of the combined sword formation that he taught He Gaoming and the others.
However.
It seemed that this sword formation was much simpler than the combined sword formation.
Although there were many people participating in this sword formation, the changes of the sword formation were nothing more than the alternation and change of the inner and outer layers.
On the other hand, although the number of people participating in a joint sword formation was smaller, it was a fighting style as a whole. A single person would have a different fighting style, and two or three people would have different fighting styles. It was more flexible in battle and had more variations.
The formation in front of him was a rigid and fixed formation.
There were only two flexible points, the inner circle and the outer circle.
Moreover.
The twelve people formed a whole. Once one of them was broken, the effect of the formation would be greatly reduced. If the inner circle was broken, and the outer circle was also broken, the formation would be broken directly.
Compared with the combined sword formation that had no idea to break the formation, it was indeed not so perfect.
There was no other way.
After all, the combined sword formation was brought by the divine sword, which was an extraordinary thing.
"Then, I'm going to start breaking the formation!"
After carefully observing the formation, Fang Qiu moved his body and immediately started to move.
First set a small goal, such as one second.
