Lou Xiaoyi already felt a sense of urgency. He knew that the longer he stayed in Xuanyuan, the more people he came into contact with, the more trouble he would encounter!
He had to strengthen himself. Even if he didn't look down on the heroes, he had to at least let others feel that he was not to be trifled with!
A year later, he had to go to the market to buy another set of materials and sword embryos. Not only did he use up all the materials for the previous set, even the sword embryos were messed up by him. Of course, he gained a lot of experience!
The flying sword was finally engraved to the perfection of the fifth layer! This was only the level that Sima Juan reached a year ago.
This was his first flying sword, named Four Seasons!
The maximum range of Four Seasons was no more than three hundred and fifty feet. This was not only because of the few sword formations engraved, but also because of his cultivation level.
The more sword formations engraved on the flying sword, the higher its ability in different directions. For example, engraving a speed sword formation would increase the flying sword's speed; engraving a penetration sword formation would increase the power; engraving a control sword formation would increase the flying sword's agility; engraving an attribute sword formation would strengthen a certain attribute!
Lou Xiaoyi was now researching the use of sword formations in the flying sword's attack and finding the most suitable modification for himself!
Through improper practice and the basic knowledge of external swords in the Boao Tower, he roughly had a preliminary understanding of the external sword system, which was limited to the Foundation Establishment stage.
This allowed him to understand the level of his own flying sword and the power of other people's flying swords. For a cultivator, knowing oneself and the enemy was the key. Hot-Bloodedness alone could not solve any problems.
His conclusion was that for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, purity was the key!
For example, for a pure speed type flying sword, a classic nine-layer speed type flying sword, its basic sword formation combination was five or six layers of speed sword formation, one or two layers of control sword formation, one or two layers of strength sword formation or attribute sword formation. A flying sword refined in this way could maximize its speed advantage after ensuring a certain degree of control and penetration. This was an important direction in battle.
Another example would be the eighth layer of the Ice Soul Sword Formation, which was the fifth or sixth layer of the Ice Soul Sword Formation, the first and second layer of the Control Sword Formation, and the first and second layer of the Speed Sword Formation. Its direction was to maximize the power of the Ice Soul while ensuring the basic control and speed!
The flying swords of Foundation Establishment cultivators would absolutely not have the five elements engender each other. For example, if you carved an ice formation and then a fire formation on the next layer, the only result would be mutual cancellation. There would be no engendering each other, only mutual suppression!
The Dao of the Five Elements was the fundamental Dao. For Foundation Establishment Cultivators, they might not even be able to fully understand a single element, let alone freely switch between the Five Elements. This was an ability that only cultivators at the Yuanying level and above could possess!
Once he understood this, he understood why the Four Seasons Sword Song was trash! Trash was trash. Using something that a Foundation Establishment cultivator would never be able to grasp to set up a formation. It was too difficult for a Foundation Establishment Swordsman, but too easy for a Yuanying cultivator!
The only reason Lou Xiaoyi chose this thing was because it was cheap. On this point, he had achieved his goal!
It wasn't all bad news. The good news was that although his flying sword's maximum range was much shorter than other people's, it was completely controllable! This wasn't the power of the sword formation, but the effect of his powerful mental strength!
To sum up his achievements in the past two years in one sentence: Other than swordsmanship, he had made rapid progress in all other aspects!
In terms of swordsmanship, he couldn't see any hope of solving this problem!
He could follow the path that everyone else was on! However, he would never be able to shake off most people on this path. On the contrary, because of resources, because of hobbies, because of various practical reasons, he could only follow behind others and eat sh * t!
Just like flying swords! Now that he had a year's worth of savings, he could be like his companions and buy a good sword embryo, choose a good set of swordsmanship, and walk the same path that others had walked two years ago!
Did he want his future to be like this?
Women were afraid of marrying the wrong man, and men were afraid of entering the wrong profession!
If he was in a Dharma cultivation sect, he wouldn't be in this predicament, because this was what he yearned for. Yearning gave him motivation, joy, and sublimation in joy. He would be like other Dharma cultivators, eagerly absorbing all the knowledge he could learn, and following the paths of his predecessors to pursue his own path of Dharma cultivation!
Because he knew nothing about Dharma Veins!
But now, he was in the Sword Vein. This was a sect that he loathed from the bottom of his heart. Because of this loathing, he didn't care about it, so he couldn't get used to it, and wanted to change reality. This was especially so when he still had an instinctive intuition about the Sword Vein!
It was very contradictory!
If he had an instinctive intuition about the Sword Vein, then this should be the direction of his cultivation for the rest of his life! But why was he so dismissive of the Sword Vein? Why did he have a soft spot for Dharma Veins?
He knew that he couldn't let this situation continue to develop. If he always tried both ways, the end result would be that he didn't rely on either side, and nothing would be accomplished!
Since he couldn't leave Xuanyuan, he should treat the Sword Vein as his only Dharma cultivation. Like others, he should focus on practicing the sword well, and think about other things!
He set this time as three years, which was also within his novice protection period. Now that two years had passed, he still had one year to find a suitable path for himself!
It had to be said that his subconscious had a great influence on him. It was so great that even though he knew that he might be wrong and was wasting precious time, he was still willing to set aside another year for himself.
Delaying three years was nothing, right? His cultivation level hadn't lagged behind, and he had made remarkable progress in other areas. Perhaps he could make up for his shortcomings in swordsmanship in other areas? The lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator was around two hundred years, which meant that he still had close to two hundred years. What was the rush?
In this last year, he had made a lot of substantial progress!
The Big Dipper Constellation Scripture. After continuously using the Big Dipper Constellation to attract spiritual energy, he had successfully added an eighth star to the Big Dipper System! An unknown star. This was the beginning of a breakthrough. It meant that he would have more and more connections with the stars in the universe, and his cultivation speed would become faster and faster!
It also meant that all the Star Techniques on this foundation would be improved, including the speed of the starlight attraction, the physical training of the Purple Star Body, and more stars to provide him with the contrast of the stars to train his mind!
However, his progress in the Flying Sword Technique was very slow. Other than the increase in his cultivation level, which allowed the Flying Sword to fly faster, further, and more powerful, there was no improvement in the ability of the Flying Sword itself!
This was the limitation of the Outer Sword. If the Flying Sword didn't increase the level of the Sword Array, it would be very difficult to unleash more power!
This was also the biggest flaw in Lou Xiaoyi's subconscious mind. A swordsmanship couldn't be improved through hard work, but he had to spend most of his energy on inscribing Sword Arrays. He couldn't accept it!
However, in the eyes of other Swordsman, this was a normal Swordsman's line of work!
Others regarded inscribing Sword Arrays as a part of swordsmanship, but he excluded inscribing Sword Arrays from swordsmanship. This was the source of his distress!
