He stood in front of the nine swords and pondered. His thoughts were as fast as lightning, one thought after another.
He had already obtained the general technique. It was said that after combining the nine swords into one and using the general technique, he would be able to form a sword wheel that could destroy everything.
Unfortunately, after he obtained the general technique, he realized that the nine swords did not move at all. There was no connection between him and the swords. Then, he thought about his interactions with the City of Thousand Swords. From the words of the elders, he deduced that the nine swords into one was a sword formation. It required nine people to control the swords and one of them would use the general technique to control the swords to form a sword wheel.
No wonder the elder said that it was useless even if he had the treasured swords. He could not use the nine swords into one.
He wondered if he could use the earth as a tool and store the nine sword techniques in the earth. Then, he would use the general technique to control the nine swords to form a sword formation.
He decided to give it a try.
First, he activated the sword technique of the Sovereign Descending Sword. In the process of obtaining these sword techniques, it was all thanks to Guo Biru summoning those old demons back. Back then, the cultivator of the Nine Swords was among those old demons. That was how he was able to obtain the sword techniques of the Nine Swords using the Omniscient Mirror.
After studying these sword techniques, he only had a superficial understanding of them. He could barely control the swords.
He activated the Monarch Sword Technique and waved his hand. The Monarch Sword flew to his hand and glowed faintly. Then, it flew out again and landed on the ground one step away. His inner energy surged out from his feet and went to the Monarch Sword. His inner energy combined with the Monarch Sword. The Monarch Sword still glowed faintly.
Then, he activated the Unparalleled Sword Technique. The Unparalleled Sword flew to his hand and glowed faintly. Then, it flew to the ground one step away. The inner energy of the Unparalleled Sword Technique flowed from the ground and into the Unparalleled Sword. The Unparalleled Sword shone again.
Unfortunately, the Unparalleled Sword shone but the Monarch Sword dimmed. He could multitask but he only had one body. The two sword techniques clashed with each other. If he activated the Unparalleled Sword Technique, he would not be able to activate the Monarch Sword Technique.
If that was the case, his idea would fail.
Chu Li stood in front of the swords and sighed helplessly. It was not easy.
Thoughts flashed in his mind. One after another, ideas popped up in his head. In the end, he thought of the Sword of Indifference and the Sword of Cold Moon.
If he could condense the nine sword energies in the void like these two sword techniques …
He immediately dismissed this idea. The Sword Qi condensed in the void also required the circulation of the heart mantra in the body. It was still impossible to circulate all nine sword spells at the same time. Could it be that he had no choice but to find eight more people?
He took a deep breath and sat down cross-legged. He circulated the Heavenly Star Void Technique with all his might, thinking about the nine sword techniques and the primary technique.
The Nine Swords could only form a Sword Array when they reinforced and restrained each other, so their Sword Incantation should also be like this. They reinforced and restrained each other, forming a formation of their own. Could it be possible to combine them into one, and then combine them with the Fundamental Incantation to form a set of mental cultivation methods?
As soon as he thought about it, he began to meditate in seclusion, trying to combine the nine sword techniques into one.
Unfortunately, every single sword technique was exquisite beyond compare and possessed astonishing might. Changing it was easier said than done. Otherwise, one would be underestimating the wisdom of the predecessors.
He placed the eight swords in the Wheel Pagoda and returned to Drizzle City with only the Heaven Slaughtering Sword to continue his seclusion. Over at the City of Ten Thousand Swords, everyone was in a state of panic. As a write-in disciple like him was injured, no one paid any attention to him.
Early in the morning, he was deep in thought. He raised his head to look at the rosy clouds in the sky, but his mood was not as bright as before.
He suddenly turned to look at the void. He glanced at Zhao Haiyuan who was walking out of the void. Then, he looked up at the sky and pretended he did not see him.
Zhao Haiyuan landed on the ground. His sleeves fluttered as he looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li turned his back to him.
Zhao Haiyuan said, "Chu Li, I underestimated you!"
Chu Li said, "Say what you want. If not, leave!"
"You stole the sword from the City of Thousand Swords, didn't you?" Zhao Haiyuan said coldly.
Chu Li said, "What if I did? What if I didn't?"
"If that's the case, it was you." Zhao Haiyuan scoffed. "It's always the Heavenly Demon pretending to be the Heavenly Man. I didn't expect you to be the Heavenly Demon. How unexpected!"
Chu Li snorted. "There's a thin line between the Heavenly Demon and the Heavenly Man. Who knows how many Heavenly Men are pretending to be the Heavenly Demon."
Zhao Haiyuan said, "That's true. The human heart is sinister. It's the same for the Heavenly Demon and the Heavenly Man."
Chu Li remained silent.
Zhao Haiyuan said, "You stole the nine swords. The City of Thousand Swords is in danger."
Chu Li chuckled. "Young Master Zhao, you're really compassionate."
Zhao Haiyuan said, "Although the City of Thousand Swords is a little overbearing and does things improperly, it suddenly collapsed. The martial arts world of the Ninth Heaven of the Grandmaster Realm will be in turmoil. It will give the Asura and the Heavenly Demon an opportunity."
Chu Li said, "What are you trying to say, Young Master Zhao?"
"There's no need to return all nine swords. But at least four swords must be returned to the City of Thousand Swords." Zhao Haiyuan said, "We must suppress the situation in the City of Thousand Swords."
Chu Li chuckled. "Young Master Zhao, you're really noble. It shouldn't be difficult for the Heaven Shaking Pavilion to suppress the situation in the City of Thousand Swords, right? If the Heaven Shaking Pavilion gives them some treasures, it will naturally shock the world. "
"We can't meddle in the sect's affairs." Zhao Haiyuan shook his head.
Chu Li scoffed. "Isn't this considered meddling?"
"They were the swords of the City of Thousand Swords. It's not a big deal to return four swords." Zhao Haiyuan said, "It's not considered external interference. It's useless for you to keep the nine swords. You can't be thinking of combining the nine swords into one, right?"
Chu Li said, "Young Master Zhao, you don't have to worry about that."
"I heard that you and Senior Sister Fu worked together to snatch the swords. Do you know what will happen to Senior Sister Fu?" Zhao Haiyuan said.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows and turned to look at him. "What will happen?"
"As a disciple of the Taihao Peak, she can't simply go against other sects. She has already violated the peak's rules. She will be severely punished!" Zhao Haiyuan said slowly.
Chu Li frowned. "Are you saying that the disciples of the Taihao Peak can't attack other sects? What a joke! "
"The Taihao Peak must maintain a detached and independent state. If they meddle in the martial arts world, won't the world be in chaos?" Zhao Haiyuan said.
Chu Li asked, "What kind of punishment will there be?"
"She will have to face the wall for at least ten years. In the worst case, her martial arts will be crippled!" Zhao Haiyuan scoffed.
Chu Li laughed. "Young Master Zhao, do you think Miss Fu is stupid?"
Zhao Haiyuan said, "Driven by gratitude and hatred, she will be hot-headed. Even the smartest person will do stupid things!"
Chu Li frowned as he looked at him.
Zhao Haiyuan scoffed. "I'm guessing that she helped you snatch the swords, and you will avenge her?"
Chu Li smiled. "I've underestimated Young Master Zhao."
It was impossible for Fu Caiwei to reveal this matter, and he would not do so either. In that case, it could be Zhao Haiyuan who predicted it.
"Senior Sister Fu's enemy is Song Wuji," Zhao Haiyuan said lightly. "And Song Wuji isn't someone Senior Sister Fu can deal with alone."
Chu Li said, "As a disciple of the Taihao Peak, won't it be easy for her to find someone to help her? She can just ask for help from other disciples of the Taihao Peak! "
Zhao Haiyuan shook his head. "The disciples of the Taihao Peak won't dare to go against Song Wuji. The peak leader has given a strict order. Unless they want to die."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "What about Miss Fu?"
