Outside the Sword Tomb, Xuan Jianxin and Mo Yishan sat facing each other. Although both of them were resting with their eyes closed, they were worried about the disciples inside the Sword Tomb. The surrounding disciples also sat around the two of them. Although they didn't whisper to each other, they all stared at the two stone tablets at the entrance of the Sword Tomb. Six hours later, the lower part of the stone tablet at the entrance of the Sword Tomb lit up. The disciples of the Sword Sect began to whisper to each other. It seemed that Mei Yingxue was indeed powerful. She had broken the trap formation at the entrance of the first layer of the Sword Tomb and led the Sword Sect's disciples to the first underground layer.
The disciples of the Saber Sect couldn't sit still anymore. They were all discussing whether the invited formation master was reliable or not. Why couldn't they enter the first layer of the Saber Tomb after six hours?
Yi Tian's group at the entrance of the first layer had indeed encountered a big problem. There was a thin layer of restriction at the entrance and a saber formation formed by six steel sabers blocking their path. Guan Mingyi also had a headache. If he couldn't create the saber formation, Yi Tian wouldn't be able to break the restriction. Two hours ago, the five of them had braved the saber wind to come here. They wanted to do it in one go. However, this saber array was truly a huge obstacle. It blocked off the entrance to the first floor. He did not know what the dead senior cultivator had come up with. To block the saber array that he had left behind in front of the entrance, he did not know what kind of consideration he had for the disciples of the younger generation.
Originally, Yi Tian was responsible for breaking the restriction, and Guan Mingyi was responsible for dealing with the potential hidden test. Just now, Yao Qiang and Yao Rui had both tried. It was very difficult for one person to break through. Guan Mingyi had also tried. He estimated that if he forced his way through, he would most likely be injured. That was why he was at his wit's end.
Yi Tian watched for a long time and finally understood something. The saber formation formed by the six sabers was clearly used to deal with the five people who came for the trial. If they broke the formation together, one of them would have to face one more saber. In such a small area at the entrance, it was difficult for everyone to move freely. They could only rely on their strength to push forward. Once someone was hit, it would definitely implicate the others. However, the original intention of this saber array was to test the cooperation of the five people.
After looking at it, Yi Tian asked everyone to share his thoughts. After getting a satisfactory response, Yi Tian asked Guan Mingyi to take the lead. The four of them stood on the left and right and began to slowly push into the sword formation.
Everyone had already taken out their Spirit Artifacts. Four sabers and a flywheel were placed in front of them to protect them as they walked towards the saber formation. It was easy to enter, but once all five of them were trapped in the saber formation, the entire formation was activated. The six blades that shuttled back and forth continuously attacked everyone. Fortunately, everyone had a tacit understanding. They formed a circle with their backs against each other and slowly moved towards the entrance. The entire saber formation covered a radius of nearly 100 feet. The five of them didn't dare to move too quickly. Once the formation was messed up, everyone would die here.
After walking for nearly two-thirds of the distance, Yao Qiang, who was at the back of the five-man circle, was cut by a flying knife because he had been resisting the knife wind for too long. The whole five-man formation almost collapsed. Fortunately, Guan Mingyi's cultivation was high. He blocked a few attacks for Yao Qiang and stabilized the formation. Looking at the positions of the five people, Yi Tian saw that they had already moved away from the core area of the sword formation. Yi Tian decisively called out, "Guan Mingyi, let's go around on our own. You will hold the sword formation at the back." The five of them immediately turned clockwise and let the injured Yao Qiang take the lead to leave the saber formation.
Two hours later, the stone tablet at the entrance of the saber tomb lit up. The disciples of the Saber Faction cheered. They had finally passed the first trial. However, compared to the calm of the Sword Faction disciples, there was still a gap.
As for Mo Yishan, he only opened his eyes to take a look and then closed his eyes to rest. As for Xuan Jianxin, he didn't move at all.
Walking into the saber tomb on the first floor, Yi Tian held a torch and saw sabers stabbed into the ground. There were all kinds of sabers. If they were only divided by material, Yi Tian wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
According to Guan Mingyi, the saber formation at the entrance of the first floor should be stronger than any of the sabers on the first floor. Apart from the test at the entrance of the second floor, the other saber intents couldn't compare.
After the five of them broke through the saber formation, they directly came to the restriction at the entrance. Yi Tian didn't disappoint and only used 10 breaths of time to break the restriction. Unexpectedly, as soon as the restriction was broken, the saber formation stopped. With a "kacha" sound, the six sabers neatly stabbed into the ground.
The five of them hurried along the way. The inside of the first level was not very big. They had only covered about two li along the way. However, the air and the ground were filled with Saber Qi. They couldn't walk as easily as before. Outside the protective barrier, they had to use their spirit weapons to block the saber qi from time to time.
The five of them spent two hours to reach the entrance of the second floor, but before them was a different scene. The five of them saw a light formation that was 50 feet wide in the passage. There was a steel saber stabbed into the ground in the light formation. A shadow flashing with white light floated above the steel saber.
There was no need to ask to know that this was the test at the entrance of the second floor. However, when Guan Mingyi stepped into the light formation, the other four were instantly separated. Yi Tian quickly reminded, "This second trial should be a test of one's strength. If you can't pass it, you can retreat."
Guan Mingyi nodded and said, "Thank you." Then, he strode forward. When he was 20 feet away from the steel saber, the shadow began to move. It raised the steel saber and fought with Guan Mingyi. Both of them were using the Iron Sword Gate's Tai Sovereign Battle Saber Technique. The strength of both sides was about the same, so once they started fighting, there was no clear winner.
Fortunately, one was controlled by a physical entity, while the other was controlled by a shadow. In less than a moment, Guan Mingyi relied on his own explosive strength to slash at the shadow. The steel saber seemed to suddenly lose control and flew back to its original position. Guan Mingyi strode out and became the first person to pass.
Next, Yi Tian stepped forward. As soon as he stepped into the light formation, he raised the flywheel in his hand. The shadow on the steel saber also floated down and slashed at Yi Tian with the steel saber. However, as soon as the two of them exchanged blows, Yi Tian realized that this figure wasn't as strong as Guan Mingyi. His heart leaped with joy. Was this a competition? Yi Tian was in the mid Foundation Establishment stage, so his opponent wasn't as strong?
After thinking about it, Yi Tian was not in a hurry to defeat the opponent. He slowly moved to the back of the light formation. In any case, he didn't need to fight Guan Mingyi head-on. He just needed to faint. When Yi Tian walked 30 feet away, the steel saber returned to the center. The shadow didn't care about Yi Tian and just floated on the steel saber.
Seeing that Yi Tian could break the formation like this, the remaining three people were overjoyed. They didn't need to defeat each other. They just needed to walk 30 feet away.
While the three people were breaking the formation, Yi Tian also took advantage of the time. He first looked at the restriction on the second floor. It was clearly much stronger than the first floor. Unfortunately, it had been here for so many years, so it had weakened a lot. There was a stone door at the entrance with some spirit patterns engraved on it. Yi Tian didn't stand on ceremony. He took out the Breaking Formation Disk that he had prepared during this period of time and looked for the formation eye. He made a gesture and attached the disk to it. The Restriction Breaking Awl in the center directly pierced into it. After a while, the restriction breaking awl at the entrance was broken.
The disciples sitting at the entrance of the sword tomb were talking in low voices. Suddenly, a Saber Faction disciple shouted, "Look, the second floor of the stone tablet is lit up. The Saber Faction has taken the lead."
The people at the side turned around and looked. It was indeed so. Eight hours after the Sword Tomb opened, the Saber Faction was the first to reach the second floor. Everyone knew that the first floor was just a test. The truly good inheritances were on the second floor. The Saber Faction disciples cheered. This way, the Saber Faction disciples would have more time to comprehend the saber intent inheritance. Up until now, the Saber Faction had the upper hand.
The Sword Faction disciples next to them were silent. The second floor of the sword tomb hadn't lit up yet. It was clear that they might not have the last laugh. From time to time, a Sword Faction disciple would say, "What's the use of going down first? We have to comprehend the saber intent and sword intent inheritance first."
Xuan Jianxin, who was sitting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes. He glanced at the Saber Faction's stone tablet and smiled with satisfaction. Then he snorted and the surroundings immediately quieted down.
In less than ten breaths of time, there was a flash of light at the entrance of the sword tomb. A two-foot-wide void hole appeared and the Saber Faction disciple, Yao Qiang, rolled out.
The two Jin Dan cultivators suddenly opened their eyes and flashed to help Yao Qiang. Yao Qiang had three wounds on his body. He was clearly injured by saber qi. Mo Yishan quickly took out healing medicine and had Yao Qiang take it. After Yao Qiang recovered slightly, he asked about the situation inside and whether he had comprehended saber intent.
Yao Qiang said to his master with tears in his eyes, "Disciple is useless. I couldn't pass the second floor's individual test and wasted the opportunity to enter the sword tomb."
Mo Yishan anxiously asked, "What about the others?"
"Eldest Senior Martial Brother and the others are fine. They have already gone down to the second floor under Yi Tian's lead. They are probably picking the remains of the seniors to comprehend saber intent."
Hearing this, Mo Yishan's expression turned slightly better. He thought, "Although one person from the Saber Faction was eliminated before he could comprehend saber intent, there are still less than 16 hours left. It's a race against time on the second floor. Whoever goes in first will have the upper hand. Fortunately, Yi Tian helped." Then he looked at the stone tablet in front of the sword tomb that hadn't lit up yet.
At this time, Xuan Jianxin also told everyone to wait and not be impatient. He then looked at the stone tablet in front of the sword tomb and saw that the second floor hadn't lit up yet.
After being reprimanded by the Sect Master, everyone quieted down and sat in place, waiting for the result. But a moment later, something happened at the entrance of the sword tomb. Wei Shanhe stumbled out of the void exit. This time, the Sword Faction's people couldn't sit still.
Sect Master Xuan Jianxin immediately went to understand the situation. Only then did he know that Wei Shanhe had been a hindrance. He hadn't been able to resist the Big Dipper Sword Formation at the entrance of the second floor and was the first to be teleported out. The others were resting after breaking the formation, while Mei Yingxue was trying to break the restriction.
He turned to look at the Saber Faction and saw that Yao Qiang had come out before him. He was happy at first, but when he saw that the second floor of the stone tablet in front of the sword tomb had lit up, his mood sank again. Xuan Jianxin saw this and didn't say anything. He just let everyone help Wei Shanhe to rest.
