In the Stargazing Tower of the Statecraft Courtyard of Qincang School, Zhang Yan was flipping through the many books stored in the courtyard.
Although he had already decided on the method to develop the sword formation, the Shaoqing green jade slip only had a few words on how to arrange the sword formation. There was no cultivation method, so he could only rely on himself to deduce and fumble.
He had come here to search for the records of the Shaoqing sword cultivators dueling with others in the past, to see if he could find anything that could be used as a reference.
Fortunately, Qincang was a profound sect that had existed for thousands of years. There were many records in this area. In the past few days, he had gained quite a bit.
An ordinary Yuanying cultivator would not be worthy of his attention. Even if he did not rely on his flying sword, he would be able to deal with him easily.
Once the Devil's Cave was revealed, he would definitely face off against the cultivators of the Devil Sect who were also in the third stage of the Yuanying Realm.
Anyone whose cultivation had reached such a level would have one or two tricks up their sleeves. Even if they were unable to defeat their opponent in battle, they would still have a way to escape and would be unable to kill their opponent. Thus, even if they won, the results of the battle would be insignificant and would not be taken by them.
His objective was that once he encountered Chen Xi, he would do everything in his power to make Chen Xi stay, and he couldn't allow Chen Xi to have the slightest chance to turn things around.
Third stage cultivators were rare even in the Profound Sect, not to mention the Six Sects and the Devil Sects. Among them, there might be some who could achieve the Heavenly Abode in the future. If one or two of them could be eradicated, it would be equivalent to injuring their muscles and bones.
However, even though he possessed the Five Element Escape Technique and Seal the Heavens and the Earth Seal Technique, it was slightly insufficient to rely on them to obtain a chance at victory, whereas with the sword formation, he could add another ability in this aspect.
The sword formation was not an ordinary formation. It could not borrow the spiritual opportunity of the earth vein. The power it obtained came from the cultivator himself. Therefore, there were not many changes. The key was to trap people, not to kill.
Because of the speed of the sword light, almost no magic treasures could compare to it. Once the enemy was trapped in the formation, they could only defend passively. Even if they had powerful defensive methods, under the slashes of the thunderous sword light, they would not be able to withstand it. Sooner or later, he would be defeated.
After another five or six days, Zhang Yan had already found what he needed. He felt that he had some clues, so he walked out of the pavilion under the respectful gaze of the Deacon Taoist.
At this moment, two women walked over. The one on the left was wearing a tight-fitting robe with a long scarf wrapped around her arm. She had a pretty face, and beside her was a girl in her twenties. She wore a form-fitting dress that covered her knees and waist. Her eyebrows were like willow leaves, and there was a red dot drawn between her eyebrows. Her temperament was gentle and graceful.
When the woman in the lead saw Zhang Yan, she quickly pulled her companion to the side and bowed, "Zheng Bixin greets Martial Uncle Zhang."
Zhang Yan glanced at her and found that she looked somewhat familiar. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Are you a disciple of Senior Sister Han?"
The woman hurriedly said, "I didn't expect Shishu to remember my daughter." She then pointed to the woman beside her and said, "This is Shizhi's martial sister, Han Mengdie. Junior Martial Sister, why aren't you bowing to the Enlightened One? "
Han Mengdie didn't say anything. After hearing his words, she silently bowed.
Zhang Yan nodded slightly, flicked his sleeves, and walked out. A moment later, a streak of light flew up into the clouds.
Han Mengdie heaved a sigh of relief. Just Now, when she stood beside Zhang Yan, she only felt an oppressive aura that made it hard for her to breathe. She couldn't help but secretly exclaim.
When she came back to her senses, she gently pushed the woman beside her and complained, "Junior Sister, Just Now, how am I taking care of you? Zhenren Zhang is one of the ten First Seats of this generation. After Master passes away, you will definitely take his place and fight against Xuan Mo. It's extremely dangerous. If you can befriend Martial Uncle Zhang, you might be taken care of. "
It wasn't a coincidence that she came here. She heard that Zhang Yan was reading scriptures, so she brought her junior sister and pretended to bump into him by accident, so that her junior sister could get familiar with him first.
Han Mengdie said with a tranquil expression, "It's my fault."
Zheng Bixin looked at her desireless and cold appearance and sighed helplessly, "Forget it, everyone has their own fate. I won't force you."
After Zhang Yan returned to the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake, before he entered, he suddenly saw a letter flying over. He raised his hand and caught it. Seeing that it was a letter from Su Yi 'ang, his eyes flickered, and he kept it in his sleeves. He waved open the formation door and entered the cave.
After a short while, he returned to the inner room and sat down on the jade couch. He first took out the bamboo tokens and fiddled with them for a while. Then, he held the remnant jade and started to deduce the sword formation.
About half a year later, his consciousness finally came out from the remnant jade.
With a thought, a surge of sword qi flew out, turning into a rain of light that shrouded the entire cavern.
He waved his sleeves again and kept the sword light. In just a breath's time, the jade table and the lotus flower stone seats on the opposite side had silently turned into a pile of dust.
He took a few glances and thought to himself, "Although this sword formation is formed, I'll only know how powerful it is when I fight with someone."
With the help of the remnant jade, he studied dozens of formations in the past half a year. He got rid of the complicated ones and simplified them to create this sword formation. Because this sword formation could not only trap people, but if he didn't care about mana, he could use the formation energy to create a shockingly powerful sword of Qi. That was why it was named the Divine Light One Breath Sword Formation.
However, this was a technique he created. Without testing it, it was hard to know how powerful it was. Thus, he urgently needed to find someone to test it on.
It was just that after the lesson he taught the demonic sect, they were very well-behaved. They were only active in the southeast and southern regions. However, that was the territory of the Yuxiao school. Putting aside the fact that he wasn't on good terms with the Zhou family, even if they were on good terms, it wasn't his place to control them.
He stood up and walked to a stone wall in the east. On it was a geographical map of the Donghua Continent. After looking at it a few times, he slowly moved his gaze up to the North Darkstar Continent. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something. He walked back to the table and took out a jade box.
He took out the document and flipped through it. He found that in the past two hundred years, the demonic cultivators of the North Darkstar Continent had invaded the Donghua Continent more often than before.
This was mainly because of the Demonic Calamity. The Qincang School focused on dealing with the demonic sect, so they neglected the many demon tribes in the North Darkstar Continent.
After Huo Xuan Just Now took over as one of the ten first seats, he had once acted together with Han Suyi under his suggestion to eliminate a few demon tribes. However, at that time, they acted in the Donghua Continent and didn't pay much attention to the demonic cultivators of the North Darkstar Continent.
Zhang Yan pondered for a long time. He had been careless before. If these demonic cultivators colluded with the demonic sect and jumped out when the demonic cave appeared, he would have to divert some of his forces to deal with them. He had to be careful. However, if he really wanted these demonic cultivators to settle down, the best way was to kill his way into the North Darkstar Continent and intimidate them.
However, this was an important matter, and it wasn't something he could decide alone. After thinking for a while, he picked up a brush and wrote a few letters. Then, he waved his sleeves, and several spiritual lights flew in different directions.
Half a day later, the bell in the Floating Heavenly Palace suddenly rang. Not long after. Eleven bright lights flew into the main hall and landed on the jade seats in the hall. However, their faces were blurry, and their shadows were fleeting. They were clones that had arrived.
The deacon boy in the hall said, "Master, the eleven Zhenrens have arrived."
The whole hall suddenly sounded with the sound of water splashing, and then it shook slightly. Sect Master Qin had already arrived at the main seat in the hall and sat down.
The eleven Dongtian Zhenrens all bowed and said, "Welcome, Sect Master Zhenren."
Sect Master Qin waved his horsetail whisk and dispensed with the formalities. Then, he said slowly, "Today, I called you all here for one thing. Boy, take this letter and pass it on. "
The boy first handed the letter to Meng Zhen. After he read it, he waved his hand gently, and the letter turned into ten Talisman copies and flew up, landing in front of the other Zhenrens.
Zhenren Yan glanced at them and said coldly, "Attack the North Darkstar Continent? How arrogant. Does Zhang Yan think that my Qincang School is still the same as when my grandmaster was? "
Sun Zhenren looked over and laughed. "Senior Brother, you have to see it clearly. Martial Nephew Zhang is obviously going to the North Darkstar Continent to punish the demon clans. He's not going to fight with the eight demon clans."
Zhenren Yan frowned and said, "Junior Brother Sun, although the eight demon clans of the North Darkstar Continent are not as strong as before, they still have some strength. If their clans are being slaughtered, how can they sit back and do nothing?"
Zhenren Zhu said in a deep voice, "This Zhang Yan is so restless. The demonic cave is about to appear. The six demon clans are what my Qincang School needs to deal with. At this time, we should be calm. If we provoke the North Darkstar Demon Clan and stir up a dispute between the two continents, won't it cause more trouble? "
Sun Zhenren sneered and said sarcastically, "Senior Brother, I don't like what you said. Since the establishment of the Great Underworld Patriarch, our Qincang School has never been afraid of anyone. When have we ever been afraid of anyone? If the eight demon clans of the North Darkstar Continent come together, I, Sun Zhiyan, will resist them. There's no need to trouble Senior Brother. "
Zhenren Yan said unhappily, "Junior Brother, how can you talk to Senior Brother Zhu like this?"
Shen Baishuang said with a faint smile, "Well said, Martial Nephew Sun. I always regret that I was born at the wrong time and didn't make it to the battle of Martial Uncle in the North Darkstar Continent. If he can come, I can't ask for more. "
As soon as he said this, Zhenren Yan immediately fell silent.
At this time, Zhenren Peng, who was sitting at the end of the table, said with a smile, "Dear Zhenren, Zhang Yan is not a person who doesn't know what's important. The North Darkstar Demon Clan seems to be powerful, but it is actually weak. Gui Congyao died early, the Turtle Clan has no successor, the Carp Clan and the Python Clan have gone to the Outer Sea, and the remaining five clans are fighting for the position of the Demon Lord. As long as it doesn't involve the affairs of their clans, they won't pay much attention to it."
Sect Leader Qin turned his head and said, "What do you think, Zhenren Chen?"
Zhenren Chen said unhurriedly, "Now there are eleven people in Qincang who occupy the position of Cave. Although they are not as powerful as Martial Uncle Qin at that time, the North Darkstar Demon Clan can't be compared with them. However, the Devil's Cave is about to come out. If we use our strength in the North Darkstar Continent at this time, won't we be neglecting the essentials?"
Shen Baishuang chuckled and said, "Senior Martial Brother's words, I beg to differ. The Monster Division doesn't learn their lesson. If we don't teach them a lesson, they will inevitably cause trouble during the Demonic Tribulation.
He cupped his hands toward the hall and said, "Senior Brother Sect Leader, in my opinion, Zhang Yan's suggestion is quite feasible."
Sect Leader Qin didn't comment, but looked at Qin Yu, who was sitting not far away, and asked, "Junior Sister, what do you think?"
Qin Yu shook her head and said, "I don't have any other opinion. Senior Brother, you can arrange it as you see fit."
Sun Zhenren looked at her in surprise. This Martial Uncle Qin used to want to meddle in everything, but now she was so quiet. He was not used to it.
Meng Zhen stood up and said, "Master, the North Darkstar Demon Clan has been restless recently. Even if Zhang Yan didn't mention it, I would still say it. Although the matter of the Devil's Cave is serious, we can't let our backyard be unstable. It's good for Zhang Yan to come out and suppress them, so that they know who is in charge of these two continents."
Sect Leader Qin nodded slightly and looked around the hall. The eleven Cave Masters all lowered their heads. Seeing that no one else said anything, he said in a low voice, "Pass down my decree. This matter can be done by Zhang Yan, so that he doesn't have to worry about anything. He has the sect behind him to support him."
