On the top of the empty mountain, one could overlook the whole world in one's heart.
A black figure stood on the top of the mountain. With a thought, eight sword embryos and sword beads wrapped in a transparent light shield floated around him. Following the movements of the black figure, they constantly changed in the air, forming a mysterious formation.
"Three sword embryos and five sword beads, combining the Dao of the eight directions and suppressing the eight wastelands. Although it is called the Ethereal Sword Formation, the sword is light and agile, but it has the power to shake the eight wastelands."
The black-clothed youth muttered to himself, trying to recall the Ethereal Sword Embryo that he had seen in the Ethereal Palace. A sword from the west swept in all directions. Whether it was Monk Butu, Ghost King Xuan Yan, or the other Nascent Soul stage cultivators, they all surrendered under the sword power.
It floated in the air, with only the sword in its eyes.
"This Ethereal Sword Formation is indeed mysterious and unusual. If I hadn't split the eight Secondary Primordial Spirits and placed each Primordial Spirit in a sword bead or a sword embryo, I wouldn't have been able to do it. I'm afraid I've only scratched the surface of this Ethereal Sword Formation. "
After a while, Lu Xiaotian touched his chin and pondered. The Kongming Sword Stone in his hand was used up, so the sword beads were completely refined, and the Nirvana Bone Sword Spirit Orchid was also used up, so the three sword beads were refined into sword embryos.
Originally, Lu Xiaotian thought that once the sword beads were refined, the Ethereal Sword Formation was already in his hands. Who knew that when he really operated it, he realized that this formation was completely different from what he had expected. Even with Lu Xiaotian's considerable attainments in formations, it was still extremely difficult for him to master the Misty Sword Formation. In particular, controlling the eight sword beads and sword embryos in the air according to a predetermined trajectory was even more difficult.
The principle of this Misty Sword Array was easy to understand, but it was extremely difficult to cultivate to a high level. Even Lu Xiaotian initially thought that it would be easy to master this set of sword array, but when he really tried it out, every time he tried to operate the sword array, he had to stop because of the obscurity.
Initially, the eight auxiliary Yuan Spirits were still recovering. Lu Xiaotian did not use the auxiliary Yuan Spirits to do anything. He just let them recover peacefully to avoid causing irreparable damage to his Yuan Spirits.
However, ever since his secondary primordial spirits had recovered, Lu Xiaotian had a chance to repeatedly ponder over this sword formation and operate its offensive techniques. He still felt that it was rather obscure. With a flash of inspiration, Lu Xiaotian tried attaching each of his primordial spirits to a sword bead or a sword embryo. Lu Xiaotian naturally had full control over his secondary primordial spirits.
At this moment, the Sword Bead and the Sword Embryo were one. When Lu Xiaotian cultivated according to the Ethereal Sword Formation's offensive techniques, the operation of the sword formation suddenly became smooth.
Of course, this was not because Lu Xiaotian had truly studied the sword formation thoroughly. He had only relied on the eight primordial spirits to imitate the sword formation and had yet to fully comprehend it. Even so, he could still exert a considerable amount of power from the sword formation.
Of course, this stupid method was not completely useless. At least after using his secondary primordial spirits to control the Sword Bead and the Sword Embryo to operate the Ethereal Sword Formation, Lu Xiaotian knew how to operate some parts. Once, twice, continuously repeating, Lu Xiaotian found that the number of repetitions increased, and he began to gradually become proficient in the use of the sword formation.
As a formation master, he actually had to use such a stupid method to deal with the sword formation. Lu Xiaotian felt rather helpless about this. He had specifically asked Yuan Min about this matter, but Yuan Min had not practiced the Ethereal Sword Technique and was unable to help.
Since Yuan Min could not help him, Lu Xiaotian could only continue to use this stupid method to familiarize himself with the sword formation over and over again. After close to ten years, he could be considered to have familiarized himself with the Misty Sword Formation. However, because he was practicing the sword formation, his original plan to use the Buddha Tree Silver Leaf to refine the Silver Gang Demon Subduing Circle had been delayed.
There was a limit to one's strength. Lu Xiaotian originally thought that the eight secondary primordial spirits would be enough, but now it seemed that it was still not enough.
"Damn bird, stop, see if I don't pluck all your feathers!" Suddenly, a blue figure flew over on a sword. In front of it was a black Fire Crow that flapped its wings and flew swiftly towards Lu Xiaotian.
Little Fire Crow's jet-black eyes kept rolling as it hid behind Lu Xiaotian's back and proudly flapped its wings.
"Martial, Martial Uncle Lu!" The blue-dressed woman had a beautiful face. When she saw Lu Xiaotian here, she secretly complained in her heart. Wasn't this Martial Uncle Lu always in closed-door training? Why did he come out so coincidentally today?
"Instead of practicing, you came to this forbidden area to make a fuss. What a scandal! Why don't you apologize to your Martial Uncle!" Then, a fair-skinned woman with a plump figure flashed and arrived at the top of a nearby mountain. She stopped about a hundred feet away from Lu Xiaotian and scolded the blue-dressed woman. Then, she bowed slightly to Lu Xiaotian and said, "Brother Lu, Yuewu is usually careless and has disturbed your cultivation. I hope you don't take offense."
This woman was Xiao Xiangyu, who had successfully formed her Nascent Soul after Luo Qian. She was also the fourth Nascent Soul practitioner of the Divine Firmament Palace. Although they were from the same sect, the number of times Xiao Xiangyu and Lu Xiaotian had met was less than five. After all, the Divine Firmament Palace had many peak areas. In the past, when they were in the Qi Refining Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage, they were not in the same peak area. Lu Xiaotian spent most of his time in seclusion and naturally did not see her. Strictly speaking, Xiao Xiangyu had only seen Lu Xiaotian from afar once in the Sky Sword Mountain.
As a practitioner who grew up around the same time as Lu Xiaotian, Xiao Xiangyu worshipped Lu Xiaotian very much. Even though he had formed his Nascent Soul, Xiao Xiangyu knew that although this Senior Brother in front of her had formed his Nascent Soul only a few years earlier than her, the gap in strength between them was unimaginable.
Even Chen Henian, who had the most seniority, had been in charge of many affairs of the Divine Firmament Palace for the past few years. He often came out and met Xiao Xiangyu more often. Privately, Xiao Xiangyu was curious and once asked Chen Henian about Lu Xiaotian. After all, after Lu Xiaotian had formed his Nascent Soul, he was almost invisible in the Divine Firmament Palace. However, Chen Henian was quite mysterious. He only knew that Lu Xiaotian's combat capability had far surpassed his, but he was not clear about the specific extent.
It was precisely because Lu Xiaotian rarely showed up that Xiao Xiangyu was worried that her daughter would make Lu Xiaotian unhappy. If that happened, it would be troublesome. After all, although they were both Nascent Soul practitioners, their positions in the Divine Firmament Palace could not be compared at all. Not to mention the people in the Divine Firmament Palace, when people from other sects mentioned the Divine Firmament Palace, they would first think of Lu Xiaotian. Even for her, a Nascent Soul practitioner, there were very few people who knew about it.
Among the four Nascent Soul practitioners in the Divine Firmament Palace, Chen Henian, who had the most seniority, was full of praise for Lu Xiaotian. Luo Qian, on the other hand, was already half-crippled. It was almost Lu Xiaotian who pulled him to the Nascent Soul stage. In the palace, even those Qi Refining practitioners knew about the friendship between Luo Qian and Lu Xiaotian, let alone her.
