(The temperature is dropping like a frozen dumpling. Six Paths is sitting there writing, but his hands are stiff and his legs are shivering. It's too cold. Brothers, remember to wear long johns and vote for Six Paths every month.)
The Illusory Sword Hundred Kill Formation was a large formation located in the northwest of the mountain, in a palace called the Illusory Sword Palace.
"Elder Wang, Elder Su, Elder Lu." The guard of the Illusory Sword Palace was an expert in the middle stage of the Sky Profound Realm. He was also an elder of the Illusory Sword Palace, but he wasn't as powerful as the elders. Seeing the three elders arrive, he hurriedly came out to greet them. At the same time, he was very surprised.
The three elders were very high-ranking people in the headquarters. They rarely showed up, let alone all three of them together. Could it be that something big had happened?
The elder of the Illusory Sword Palace hurriedly saluted. Then, he froze, his eyes widening in disbelief.
Sword Master Azure Dragon!
Even Sword Master Azure Dragon, who was second only to the leader, had come. What was going on?
He quickly came back to his senses and saluted Sword Master Azure Dragon.
Then, the elder of the Illusory Sword Palace saw Chen Zong.
It was a young and unfamiliar face. Normally, the elder of the Illusory Sword Palace wouldn't pay attention to it. However, it seemed that this young man had come with the three elders and Sword Master Azure Dragon.
"Elder Lin, is anyone using the Illusory Sword Hundred Kill Formation?" Elder Lu asked in a hurry.
"Elder Lu, your disciple, Yu Fei, is trying to break through the formation." It was the first time that Elder Lin had seen Elder Lu in such a hurry.
"Quick, tell him to come out." Elder Lu rushed into the Illusory Sword Palace.
In the headquarters, the president was as rare as a divine dragon. In addition, there were Sword Sovereign Azure Dragon, three elders with real power, and various deacons. Finally, there were the geniuses who had made great contributions to the Extreme Celestial Association or were brought in by the various elders.
There were only a few dozen people in the headquarters. Among them, there were more than a dozen who were younger than a hundred years old. They were all geniuses that the Extreme Sky Association had focused on.
Among them, the three most outstanding ones were taken in as disciples by the three elders.
Normally, apart from cultivating, these geniuses would challenge the Illusory Sword Hundred Kill Array to hone their combat ability.
"Yu Fei, come out immediately!" Elder Lu roared as soon as he entered the Illusory Sword Palace.
"Elder Lu!" Inside the Illusory Sword Palace, the geniuses who were waiting outside the Illusory Sword Hundred Kill Formation were shocked when they saw Elder Lu. They quickly bowed and saluted. Shortly after, their eyes widened because they saw Elder Wang and Elder Su.
What day was it today? Three elders with real power actually came to the Illusory Sword Palace.
Chen Zong followed him into the Illusory Sword Palace, and saw that in the center of the Illusory Sword Palace, there was a large array in operation. Countless rays of light surrounded it in all directions, flowing with brilliant colors, giving people a very mysterious feeling.
However, from the outside, it was impossible to see what was going on inside. Only by looking at the stone tablet erected on the side could one know what was going on inside.
The third wave of the third stage!
Inside the Illusory Sword Hundred Kill Formation, the black-robed Yu Fei was fighting fiercely with three sword-wielding figures.
"Elder Lin, stop the array immediately!" Elder Lu said quickly.
While the formation was in operation, the people inside would not be able to hear the sounds of the outside world, nor would they be able to sense the situation outside.
Elder Lin immediately stopped the formation. In an instant, the three sword-wielding figures turned into phantoms and dissipated like smoke. The black-robed young man was attacking with his sword. This change stunned him, but before he could think about it, a repulsive force landed on his body. It was as if the world was spinning, and in the next moment, he appeared outside the formation.
He quickly reacted and noticed that there were many people inside the Illusory Sword Palace. He glanced around and was immediately stunned. Then, he quickly took three steps forward and walked in front of Elder Lu. He bowed respectfully and said, "Master, you're here."
"Yes." Elder Lu nodded and ignored his disciple. Instead, he looked at Chen Zong and said, "Young friend, you can enter the array now. By the way, inside the Illusory Sword Hundred Kill Formation, you can only rely on your own strength. You can't use any external objects or secret techniques."
As soon as Elder Lu spoke, except for Elder Wang, Elder Su, and Sword Master Azure Dragon, everyone's expression changed greatly.
Who was this person?
He was actually called a young friend by Elder Lu and his attitude was so friendly. Who didn't know that Elder Lu's temper was the most irritable? Even his disciple found it hard to see his master like this.
In an instant, countless guesses circled around in their minds. They were even more unconvinced.
"Thank you, Elder Lu." Chen Zong smiled and stepped forward, walking towards the Illusory Sword Hundred Kills Formation. At the same time, Elder Lin activated the formation once more.
Yu Fei knew that he left the array just now because the array was stopped. The purpose was to let this person enter the array.
Thinking of this, Yu Fei's heart was filled with anger. However, at this moment, no one was paying attention to Yu Fei's inner thoughts and no one was paying attention to his expression.
Chen Zong stepped into the Illusory Sword Hundred Kill Formation. Everything in front of him changed rapidly and soon stabilized. It was a field.
There were no clouds in the blue sky. A scorching sun hung high in the sky. Under the sky was a vast field that seemed to have no end. The wild grass was like a forest. When the wind blew, it was like heavy waves.
The sky was wide and the field was endless. It seemed very real, but Chen Zong could still feel that it was fake.
If it was real, there would be an indescribable sense of spirituality. However, these things, whether it was the sky or the scorching sun, the field, the wild grass, or the wind, all lacked a sense of spirituality. They were all simulated.
However, this was also because of Chen Zong's sharp senses. If it was someone with ordinary senses, they would feel that it was real.
Just as Chen Zong was carefully appreciating the feeling between reality and illusion, a rustling sound was heard. A figure walked out from the wild grass.
This was a middle aged man with an ordinary appearance. His face was old-fashioned and expressionless. His eyes were dull, and he was of an average height. He wore a long blue robe and held a longsword in his right hand. He walked step by step towards Chen Zong. His aura continued to condense with each step, becoming stronger and sharper.
Chen Zong's eyes focused slightly, but a trace of a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
Chen Zong could tell at a glance that this person was a fake. The man's eyes were dull and didn't have any of the spirituality of a real person. The ripples of his aura were that of the early first level of the earth spirit realm, the same as his own.
The battle within the Illusory Sword Hundred Kill Formation was directly related to one's level of training. The first opponent's level of training would definitely be the same as his.
The middle aged man's footsteps became faster and faster. He finally turned into a streak of light and charged forward with shocking speed. The sword he was holding suddenly turned and pointed forward at Chen Zong. It pierced through the air and stabbed forward with great precision.
The longsword also exuded a shocking sharpness. It was obviously a middle rank spirit sword.
Chen Zong's figure flashed and avoided the opponent's sword. However, the middle aged man's attack changed in an instant and changed from a stab to a slash, displaying a solid level of skill with the sword.
Of course, this level of skill with the sword couldn't be considered very high. It could only be considered decent and had a solid foundation.
This meant that this middle aged man's level of training and skill with the sword had reached the standard of the early first level of the earth spirit realm. This was the standard state.
After dodging a few more blows, Chen Zong knew the level of this person's skill with the sword. He didn't continue to fight and used his finger in place of a sword to point lightly. A ray of sword light blossomed like a cold star and instantly pierced through the middle of his opponent's brows.
His figure paused and then dissipated.
The sound of rustling rang out again and was even more concentrated this time. Two figures strode forward from the left and right, increasing their speed. The figure on the left immediately stabbed forward with his sword. It was light and agile, and the tip of the sword trembled as it brought forth layers of illusions. The figure on the right chopped down with his sword, as if Chen Zong was a mountain and he wanted to split it apart. His momentum was heavy and forceful.
These two people's sword skills were different from the previous person's as they each had their own strengths.
Chen Zong didn't immediately counterattack, but instead dodged and evaded their attacks. He observed their sword skills and saw through the mysteries of their techniques with a few glances. He then attacked and killed them at the same time.
After that, three figures appeared one after another from the left, center, and right. They immediately attacked Chen Zong as soon as they approached him. Three different sword skills coordinated with each other from three directions, cutting off all paths of retreat for Chen Zong.
This would be a dead end for an ordinary first level earth spirit realm practitioner and they could only fight to the death. However, Chen Zong had many ways to deal with this.
He dodged with ease, observed the sword skills a few more times, and then counterattacked.
After Chen Zong killed the three figures, a gust of wind blew past. Rustling sounds suddenly rang out from the waves of wild grass, as if something was rapidly shuttling through the wild grass and approaching at an astonishing speed.
Then, a sharp and cold sword light shot out from the wild grass and pierced through the air, mercilessly stabbing towards Chen Zong.
"Mid first level earth spirit realm." As Chen Zong's voice rang out, he took a slanted step forward. It seemed to be a close call, but he cleverly avoided this sword attack.
The moment the mid first level earth spirit realm appeared, the words "First Wave of the Second Stage" appeared on the stone tablet outside the illusory formation, indicating that Chen Zong had passed the first stage and entered the second stage.
There were three waves in each stage of the Illusory Sword Hundred Kill Formation. One could only enter the next stage after passing through all three waves. The way to pass the stage was very simple, it was to fight and kill.
As long as one killed the enemy, they would be able to enter the next stage. It was very straightforward and completely a test of one's combat ability. After all, one couldn't rely on external objects, secret arts, or forbidden arts.
The second wave of enemies was not only stronger in cultivation, but their attainments in swordsmanship were also more profound. Chen Zong could clearly feel it. However, such an improvement was nothing to Chen Zong. It posed no threat to him at all.
He dodged, dodged, dodged. After seeing through the mysteries of the enemy's sword skills, he used his finger instead of a sword to kill the enemy.
The second wave consisted of two mid first level earth spirit realm practitioners who attacked from the left and right.
The third wave consisted of two late first level earth spirit realm practitioners who attacked from the left, center, and right.
Not long after, the third wave of the second stage began to change into the first wave of the third stage on the stone tablet outside the formation.
