Song Chengzhi did not scold the disciples for being useless. The disciples of the White Dew Hall were all top-notch masters. The fact that ten of them were injured only proved that the guests from the City of Thousand Swords were more powerful.
He turned his head and said, "Let's go take a look … Chu Li, you come too."
Chu Li nodded and said, "Clan Leader, I can't use the Sky Regaining Sword anymore. I've experienced the sword formation of the City of Thousand Swords. It's really powerful and we have to guard against it."
"If it can injure you, even if it's a sneak attack, it can't be underestimated." Song Chengzhi nodded.
Chu Li's martial arts was now the best among the disciples of the White Dew Hall. No one could match him. If he could not block the sword formation, the other disciples would not be able to either. It seemed like he and the two Deputy Clan Leaders had to make a move.
Song Chengzhi leaped into the air.
Chu Li followed closely beside him. "Clan Leader, do we have a joint attack formation?"
"Yes." Song Chengzhi nodded. "But it's not top-notch. It's still inferior to the formation of the City of Thousand Swords."
Chu Li said, "We're the Rain Master Palace."
Song Chengzhi looked down from the void and saw the nine people from the City of Thousand Swords and the disciples of the White Dew Hall surrounding them on the street. He said, "Do you think formations are easy to learn? Formation masters are rare and precious. Other skills and martial arts can be slowly learned over time. Even if you learn slowly, you can still improve through accumulation. Formations are purely a matter of talent. If you can't learn it, you won't be able to even after ten thousand years. "
Chu Li nodded in agreement.
Formations could only be learned by pure intelligence. Without enough intelligence, there was no way to learn formations. It was like elementary school students studying mathematics. Even if they had all the textbooks from primary school to university, most elementary school students would not be able to learn advanced mathematics. However, there were always those with special intelligence who could learn it.
Formations were no different from advanced mathematics. Only those with rare intelligence could learn them. Even though the Heavens Beyond Heaven was rich in spiritual energy and people lived for tens of thousands of years, their intelligence was not higher than that of the people in the lower realm. Only a few people could see through the wonders of formations.
"Clan Leader, I'm proficient in formations." Chu Li said.
As a deity of the lower realm, if he wanted to occupy the position of the Rain Master Hall Master, he would need great power and sufficient intelligence. Only then would he be able to make others look up to him. This meant that he had to display all of his abilities and could not hide them.
Once there was a chance, he could not let it go.
"You know array formations?" Song Chengzhi was surprised.
Chu Li replied slowly, "Yes, I've learned some formations in the Lower Realm. Unfortunately, the Formation Path in the Lower Realm is rather crude, and it's not as exquisite as the Grandmaster's."
"Haha, good!" Song Chengzhi laughed twice, his originally gloomy face beaming with joy, "I didn't expect you to be an Array Grandmaster. When we go back, I will collect Array Formation books for you. If you can really help our disciples learn Array Formations, it will be a great merit!"
Chu Li smiled. "I can give it a try."
The two Vice Clan Leaders stared at Chu Li's back with bright eyes. They could not wait for Chu Li to go back and not let him fight anymore.
As one of the Nine Divisions, the Rain Master Palace had a formation master overseeing it. However, they needed too many formation masters and had no time to care about the four divisions and one division. These formation masters were responsible for the operation of the Rain Master Palace's formation. Their responsibilities were very important.
Although the White Dew Hall had a formation that could be used and could be practiced according to the formation, it was not powerful enough.
Every formation was subtle and profound and needed to be adjusted carefully. Without the guidance of a formation master, one could only copy a set of formation. Although they could get some power, it would not be as powerful as the original.
If Chu Li's appearance could really make up for the weakness of the White Dew Hall, then it would be too crucial for the White Dew Hall.
The formation grandmasters were all recruited by the headquarters of the Nine Divisions and received the best treatment. They could study formations in peace and comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth. Who would still want to go to the lower levels and be disturbed by trivial matters and mundane affairs?
Formation masters often liked to study, liked peace, and did not like mundane affairs. Wealth and glory were not goals for them. Moreover, when they arrived at the Nine Divisions' Headquarters, they could get all these things. They did not need to spend time and effort to pursue it. They only needed to focus on the study of Array Formations.
Even if Chu Li was not proficient in Array Formations, as long as he knew a little bit, it would be extremely valuable.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding …" The clear ringing sounds did not stop. The nine old men wielded their swords and strode forward along the main street towards the White Dew Hall. The White Dew Hall disciples who were blocking the way in front and sneak attacking them from behind could not break through.
Chu Li stood in the void and frowned as he looked at the sword formation. He shook his head. He did not know what kind of sword formation it was. He had never seen it before. However, its power was shocking, especially the nine elders' cultivation levels. They were only slightly weaker than Han Zheng.
"Looks like the City of Ten Thousand Swords is really anxious. They've sent out their elites." Song Chengzhi scoffed.
Chu Li asked, "Are there many people with such cultivation levels in the City of Ten Thousand Swords?"
"Not too many." Song Chengzhi shook his head. "Some old monsters don't usually come out. These people are only the elites of the City of Ten Thousand Swords. But don't worry, they have old monsters, the Rain Master Palace has them too!"
Chu Li asked, "Are they those who have cultivated for more than a thousand years?"
"Only those who have cultivated for more than two thousand years." Song Chengzhi said, "A thousand years is a big hurdle. Many people can't overcome it."
"Isn't it ten thousand years?" Chu Li was stunned.
He always thought that Devas lived for ten thousand years. He did not expect to hear this.
Song Chengzhi smiled and shook his head.
"Clan Leader, looks like we have to use formations." Deputy Clan Leader Mo Heng said.
Another Deputy Clan Leader, Fu Tianlei, scoffed. "Yes, we have to use formations. Otherwise, the City of Ten Thousand Swords will really think that there's no one in the White Dew Hall!"
"Then let's use formations." Song Chengzhi said.
Deputy Clan Leader Mo Heng let out a long whistle.
The White Dew Hall disciples who were surrounding the nine-man sword formation suddenly floated and stood in their positions. Then, they formed a formation that enveloped the nine-man sword formation. A surging force covered the sky and covered the earth.
Chu Li was surprised. He did not expect the White Dew Hall's formation to be so powerful.
"Hmph, they have the guts to barge into our White Dew Hall with just nine people. Today, they won't be able to leave!" Song Chengzhi scoffed. "Chu Li, look at everyone's formation."
Chu Li nodded lightly.
He focused on the White Dew Hall's formation. He realized that more than a hundred people formed one layer and more than three hundred people formed the second layer. Each of them stood in a formation. Even with his sharp eyes, he felt dizzy.
This formation was no different from condensing more than a hundred people in the formation to form an incomparably tyrannical force. Even if the nine elders had a profound cultivation level, outstanding swordsmanship, and exquisite formations, they could not withstand the attacks of more than a hundred people.
"Bang bang bang bang …" The nine elders could not resist and were immediately sent flying. The sword formation was broken and they landed in the middle of the street, right below Chu Li and the others.
"Clan Leader!" Everyone gave a fist salute and said.
"You guys go." Song Chengzhi waved his hand.
Everyone gave a fist salute and carried their injured companions. They floated away and scattered all over the city.
Chu Li's heart trembled. He realized that the subtlety of this formation was far beyond his imagination. Through this formation, it was like ants could bite an elephant to death. No matter how strong a martial arts master was, he would not have an easy time if he was trapped in this formation.
He did not dare to say whether he would live or die if he fell into this formation. It was as overbearing as an unstoppable flood.
