Every single move of the Merry Eighteen Swords could be evolved into a set of swordsmanship, and every set of swordsmanship could also be condensed into the essence of a single move. When a set of swordsmanship was condensed into a single move, it meant that a small Divine Power had been successfully cultivated.
Nine of the Divine Powers were individually known as the Nine Merry Swords. When these nine Divine Powers were combined, they could form a great Divine Sword Formation, also known as the Merry Sword Formation. The other nine small Divine Powers were also known as the Merry Nine Swords. These nine small Divine Powers could also form the great Divine Power of the Merry Sword Formation.
Legend had it that after the Patriarchs of Xuan Ling Sect created the Merry Eighteen Swords, they once imagined that on top of forming two great Divine Powers, they could also combine the two Sword Formations into one final Unfettered Sword. The power of this Sword Formation could even reach the level of a supreme Divine Power. Unfortunately, this Sword Formation had never appeared in Xuan Ling Sect before. As a result, the North Sea Cultivation World believed that this was merely a fabrication by Xuan Ling Sect and a rumor spread in the Cultivation World.
Dao Sheng Laozu was a genius. Although he was not a Sword Cultivator, he was able to draw parallels from the Xuan Ling Sect's signature swordsmanship and create this great Divine Power of Wind Formation. Its power was not inferior to the two great Divine Powers of Wind and Merry.
However, Dao Sheng Laozu's unique great Divine Power of Wind Formation allowed every nine wind pillars to form a complete great Divine Power Formation. The eighteen wind pillars surrounding Tianling Mountain were the combination of two great Divine Power Formations that had been cultivated to the extreme. Its power was definitely beyond the power of two great Divine Powers added together.
Tianlu Laozu looked at Tianfan Laozu worriedly and asked hesitantly, "Senior Tianfan, should we join forces with Senior Sister Tian Xue to break Dao Sheng's great Divine Power first?"
Tian Xue Laozu pursed her lips and said, "Why should we break it? The North Sea Cultivation World has been in a state of chaos for so long that we have forgotten the prestige of Fa Xiang Laozu in the Cultivation World. This time, we must use this Dao Sheng, the only late Dharma adept in the North Sea, to let our sect's cultivators see what the real Fa Xiang Laozu is like. This will prevent any arrogant fellows from assassinating other people's Fa Xiang Laozu in the future."
Tian Xue Laozu's words were targeted at the fact that after the Mysterious Yin Immortal assassinated Dao Shi Laozu, there were many cultivators in Zhenling who believed that if it were not for the Demon Clan Immortal Ao Yu's betrayal, with the Mysterious Yin Immortal's ability, even if he was unable to kill Dao Shi, it was not impossible for him to escape unscathed. Although Tian Xue Laozu and the rest wanted to protect their own disciples, they could not allow their own disciples to become arrogant to the point where even Fa Xiang Laozu was not taken seriously.
Tianfan Laozu looked at the descending Laozu and was rather worried. He smiled and said, "Junior Brother, don't worry. Although Dao Sheng's two great magical powers have been unleashed to the maximum, with the power of our sect's protective formation, it will not be destroyed by just two great magical powers. Moreover, with us here, how can our sect's cultivators be at a disadvantage?"
Tianlu Laozu's expression finally relaxed a little. At this moment, he saw the surrounding eighteen wind pillars gradually converging in the sky above Tianling Mountain, forming a huge wind net. The wind net rotated slowly, and the eighteen wind pillars all twisted and contracted, cutting towards Tianling Mountain.
Just as the wind net formed by the eighteen wind pillars was contracting and cutting towards Tianling Mountain, a deep and steady voice could be heard coming from the top of Tianling Mountain, "Formation, rise!"
A huge shimmering barrier, like a curtain that was evenly spat out from the peak of Tianling Mountain, fell around Tianling Mountain, protecting the entire mountain within the range of the formation.
This voice belonged to the deacon of Tianling Mountain, Perfected Zhenling, Perfected Zhenling's formation, Perfected Zhenling's formation, Perfected Zhenling's formation.
In the blink of an eye, Dao Sheng Laozu's wind net formation spun and cut towards Zhenling's formation.
A deafening creaking sound rang out, and the Zhen Ling Sect's Sect-Protecting Array began to flicker. But the eighteen twisting and spinning wind pillars did not seem to be damaged at all. As they formed into a net-like array, they looked like a bloodthirsty octopus entrenched in the sky above the Sect-Protecting Array. Each wind pillar itself was a spinning tornado, and as they swept across the Array, they also left marks on the Array's protective shield.
"Solidify!"
Once again, Reverend Guo Xuanshan's calm roar rang out on Tianling Mountain. The Sect Protection Formation, which had been flickering between brightness and darkness, seemed to have learned to work together, as it gathered the energy of the Zhen Ling Sect's Core Forging cultivators into a rope. The entire formation looked dim, but it was no longer flickering like before.
"Restore!"
Perfected Guo Xuanshan's voice was still unhurried. However, as soon as Perfected Guo Xuanshan's voice fell, the entire array was like a ferocious beast that was slowly accumulating power. The dark array shield gradually lit up. Originally, the eighteen wind pillars would cut a deep mark on the surface of the array shield, but now, they could only leave a faint mark that was repaired by the array shield itself.
At this moment, a cold snort suddenly came from the distant sky, as if it had suddenly exploded in the ears of all the cultivators. Almost all the Zhenling's Core Forging Stage Perfected Masters in charge of the formation's operation felt their Qi and blood unstable, and they instantly lost control of the True Essence in their bodies. Many of the weaker Core Forging stage cultivators with weak foundations were directly shaken by this cold snort, and blood flowed from the corners of their mouths. Even Perfected Xuanchen, who was helping Perfected Guo Xuanshan to operate the formation, turned pale, and his limbs numbed.
Perfected Guo Xuanshan's expression changed, and he secretly cursed, "Not good!" He hurriedly shouted, "True Essence!"
However, many of the Perfected Masters had not yet recovered from the cold snort, and when they heard Perfected Guo Xuanshan's roar, they were momentarily flustered, unable to quickly keep up with the operation of the formation.
The Sect Protecting Formation on Tian Ling Mountain suddenly lit up, but because many cultivators were unable to keep up with the changes in the formation, many dark spots of the Sect Protecting Formation were obscured by the bright light.
At this moment, the Wind Net Array suddenly tightened again, and the eighteen wind pillars that coiled around the Sect Protecting Formation sped up their rotation, and the "Creak Creak Creak" sounds of explosions suddenly became more intense. The Sect Protecting Formation once again shone brightly, and it looked like it was expanding outwards, trying to break the eighteen Wind Net Array, but instead, the wind pillars squeezed a deeper layer of depression on the surface of the formation.
However, just when it looked like the Sect Protecting Formation had been squeezed out of shape by the wind pillars, a deafening roar rang out, and two faintly discernible giant claws formed from spiritual energy suddenly appeared above the Sect Protecting Formation. The two giant claws reached down, each grabbing a wind pillar, and then pulled outwards, immediately tearing the two wind pillars into four pieces.
With this powerful reinforcement, the Sect Protecting Formation shone brightly again, and two more wind pillars were torn apart. The pressure on the Sect Protecting Formation was greatly reduced, and it immediately shrunk and expanded. A series of cracking sounds rang out, and another twelve wind pillars were torn apart. The remaining two wind pillars were also torn apart by the two giant claws of spiritual energy. Then, the two giant claws suddenly disintegrated into spiritual energy in the sky, slowly accumulating in the light of the Sect Protecting Formation before disappearing.
After Dao Sheng Laozu's great spell was broken, several Core Forging Enlightened Masters responsible for operating the Sect Protecting Formation on Tianling Mountain coughed up blood and fainted from serious injuries. There were also a few cultivators who coughed up blood and were seriously injured, and even Enlightened Master Guo Xuanshan's face was pale. He was quite shocked!
To be able to resist the Sect Protecting Formation that was personally set up by Tai Shen Laozu, who was the only True Spirit Realm cultivator in Zhenling four or five thousand years ago, and to be able to severely injure about half of the Core Forging cultivators, including a few late Core Forging cultivators, in one fell swoop, and even Enlightened Master Guo Xuanshan himself was quite shocked.
If it wasn't for Enlightened Master Guo Xuanshan's good command, barely gathering the strength of most of the cultivators at the last moment to activate the True Spirit Hand of the Sect Protecting Formation and break the Wind Net Formation, even if there were still a few Laozu behind Zhenling who hadn't made a move yet, the ones who coughed up blood and were seriously injured weren't just the Core Forging cultivators responsible for operating the Sect Protecting Formation; even Enlightened Master Guo Xuanshan himself would have been injured.
In the North Sea's cultivation world, who else could have such tyrannical strength?
Dao Sheng Laozu, Xuan Ling Sect's Dao Sheng Laozu, it must be him. Only this person had such strength, dared to fight against Zhenling's Sect Protecting Formation alone!
At this moment, all the cultivators in Zhenling finally had a personal understanding of the strength of the number one cultivator in the North Sea. In the past, Dao Sheng Laozu was too far away from all the cultivators in the North Sea's cultivation world. Even Zhenling, who had always set Xuan Ling Sect as their goal, only saw Dao Sheng Laozu as an expert who could fight against Zhenling's "Wind and Snow Immortals". They had already lost the respect they should have for the number one cultivator in the North Sea.
A long laugh pierced through the sky. Tianfan Laozu asked with a smile, "I haven't seen you for decades, Senior Martial Brother Dao Sheng's divine power has become more and more powerful. You certainly live up to your reputation as the number one cultivator in the North Sea. I still have to thank Senior Martial Brother Dao Sheng for disciplining my disciples on my behalf, letting them know that there's always someone better out there, and that they should know how to respect their elders, lest they become arrogant and become complacent!"
A faint sigh was heard, and a weathered voice rang in the sky, "Tianfan, are you mocking me? I originally wanted to test the strength of you and your wife with this Wind Array. It seems that the "Wind and Snow Immortals" have improved a little in the past fifty years, but I didn't expect the two of you to really be able to endure it and force your disciples to use the Sect-Protecting Array to resist it. You really have the heart to do it! "
Tianfan Laozu understood what Dao Sheng Laozu meant. He smiled and said, "A jade that is not cut is worthless, so I have to make use of Senior Martial Brother Dao Sheng's sharp carving knife."
A skinny old man vaguely appeared in the sky, then slowly walked towards the sky above Zhenling. After a while, he said, "In this aspect, Xuan Ling Sect is indeed not as good as your sect!"
This sentence surprised Tianfan Laozu, but he could only smile and say to the skinny old man, "Senior Martial Brother Dao Sheng, you flatter me."
Dao Sheng Laozu didn't comment. He looked around and said, "Almost everyone is here. Everyone, come out and meet me."
