By the time the sword spirit finished inscribing the first two sword arrays, without Lou Xiaoyi's supervision, it fell into a state of seclusion. It seemed that inscribing sword arrays was equally stressful for it!
On the third night, the Four Seasons Sword Spirits carved an identical wind-type speed sword formation on the third level of the sword formation. It was almost identical to the first level.
On the fourth layer, it was another simple earth attribute sword array!
At this point, Lou Xiaoyi had a rough idea of what the Four Seasons Sword Spirit was thinking. It was using the two sword arrays as a foundation to inscribe alternately!
Thinking about the sword spirit's thinking, it seemed to make a lot of sense!
There was no need to talk about the wind attribute sword array. To a flying sword, nothing was more important than speed!
As for the earth attribute sword array, it was probably the most suitable material for this sword embryo. Because when he bought this sword embryo, the shop owner had said that the sword embryo's greatest characteristic was its inertia! It was not restricted by its element and was not afraid of fire, cold, water, or metal!
Then, for a sword embryo made of such a material, the sword spirit born would naturally be close to inertia, which was the earth attribute!
He understood a little now. The preference of a sword spirit after birth was closely related to the sword embryo. A fire attribute sword embryo would give birth to a sword spirit that was of the fire attribute. It was impossible for it to give birth to an ice attribute sword spirit!
Since he knew the general direction of the engraving process, the rest was very simple. He went to the market of Thousand Elegance Peak and changed all the materials of the other attributes to these few materials. He wanted to see just how far the Four Seasons Sword Spirit could go with this engraving process.
Ten days later, the Four Seasons Sword Spirit finally sent a message that it was exhausted. Unless it continued to grow stronger in the years to come, the sword array's layers would be its limit!
Lou Xiaoyi suppressed his excitement and held the flying sword in his hand. This was an eight-layered flying sword, with four layers of wind element speed and four layers of earth element. They covered the sword alternately and were integrated as one. Because he had participated in the entire process, he, the sword spirit, and the flying sword had established a family-like relationship!
This was a real flying sword!
In the original choice of the Four Seasons Sword Formation, he had abandoned the Metal and Fire Sword Formations and only kept the Wood and Earth Sword Formations. It could be said that he had maximized the simplicity of the Sword Formation. Or to put it another way, the Sword Spirit born from the inert Sword Embryo did not like the Metal and Fire Sword Formations!
This was in line with its nature!
Just because there's wind doesn't mean that it'll be compatible with fire!
The powers of the five elements each had their own specialties. For example, the sharpness of metal, the wound of fire, the softness of water, the vitality of wood, and the laziness of earth. In terms of penetrating power, of course, metal was slightly better. The other four elements were slightly weaker, but they each had their own specialties.
For example, fire-elemental flying swords would have a unique fire-elemental burning power, while Lou Xiaoyi's Four Seasons Flying Swords were earth-elemental. The advantage was that they had a great resistance to other elemental attributes!
In a battle between Swordsman, this wasn't obvious, because Swordsman's nature in the Foundation Establishment stage was to pursue strength and speed. In terms of attributes, they were only dependent on the Sword Formation. But against a Spell Cultivator, a purely inert flying sword was too useful!
Spell Cultivators were naturally proficient in spells. In view of the arrogance of the Sword Vein on the Five Rings, preparing a few corrosive spells that specifically targeted flying swords was standard equipment in a Spell Cultivator's arsenal! This kind of countermeasure was useless against the Inner Swords, but it made the Outer Swords especially uncomfortable. If they really met a powerful Spell Cultivator, the Outer Swordsman wouldn't be willing to use his sword!
Because using the sword would mean the destruction of the flying sword!
This was the value of an earth-elemental flying sword! It wasn't afraid of the opponent's corrosive filth, and with the Sword Spirit's recovery and repair, it meant that no matter the environment, he would dare to use his sword!
This was very important to the Outer Swords!
Lou Xiaoyi didn't do it deliberately, but with all kinds of coincidences, he naturally achieved his goal! He didn't know if it was because he swallowed the two cultivators' balls of fortune, but his luck was slowly changing?
The important thing was that after the Four Seasons Sword Spirit's modification, the Four Seasons Flying Sword's speed and power had a fundamental increase!
Previously, the power of his sword was only the combined power of an immature Sword Spirit and a trashy five-layer Sword Formation, which was the power of an ordinary Outer Swordsman. He could only win by relying on his Outer Swords.
But now, the power of the Sword Formation alone had reached the average standard of an ordinary Outer Sword, and with the addition of the Sword Spirit … If he faced Yan Yun now, he could no longer ignore the power of his sword. Most of the ten swords in a breath would have to be used for defense, and the number of swords that could be used to attack him would be limited. This was the essence of a sword battle! It was a complicated combination project!
The combination of Earth and Wind? It made Lou Xiaoyi think of the endless yellow sands of the Gobi Desert! This was the will of the heavens, it made one sigh!
The Four Seasons Flying Sword no longer lived up to its name. There were no Four Seasons, only Wind and Sand Season!
What made him most satisfied was that this wasn't the limit of the Flying Sword! It could actually grow, including the growth of the Sword Spirit. After the Sword Spirit grew, it could in turn carve more Sword Formations …
Eleven years after he entered Xuanyuan, he finally had a Flying Sword with his own unique personality. Maybe now, he could become a real Swordsman, an Outer Swordsman!
Lou Xiaoyi didn't immediately order the Sword Spirit of Jue City to carve Sword Formations. He already had some experience in using the Sword Spirit. In his opinion, he needed to set aside a few years to get along with the Sword Spirit and deepen their mutual understanding. He also needed to give the Sword Spirit of Jue City a period of time to fully understand the strengths and weaknesses of the Ten Charges of Jue City Sword Technique. It would be best if he could go through some battles!
Only in this way could the Sword Spirit slowly explore the most suitable Sword Formation for himself through practice. Only then could he display the Flying Sword's advantages to the extreme!
He began to wonder if it was time to cultivate a third Sword Spirit.
This was a necessary procedure to strengthen oneself. One Flying Sword had to be at its peak, one had to be at the stage of deep communication with the Sword Spirit, and one Flying Sword had to be ready to slash someone and give birth to a Sword Spirit!
He realized that there were more and more things to do. Cultivation had long surpassed what he had once thought. Just to live for a few hundred more years, there was always some involuntary push that pushed you forward.
When you didn't have enough to eat, you only had one pain! When you were full, you would have endless pain!
This was his current state!
Regarding the new Flying Sword and Sword Technique, there was a principle. He had to be like the Four Seasons and Jue City Sword. He had to carve several layers of Sword Formations on the Flying Sword. The purpose of this was to let the Sword Spirit familiarize with the essence of the Sword Technique. Only then could he make the appropriate changes!
If it was a bare Flying Sword, even if there was a chance to use it to slash someone and give birth to a Sword Spirit, the Sword Spirit itself wouldn't have the knowledge of a Sword Spirit. All of its knowledge came from the Sword Formations that had already been carved. This was a process that couldn't be omitted. It also meant that a large amount of resources would be invested!
Although he had a headache, Lou Xiaoyi still chose from the two remaining Sword Embryos. Gu Bei's collection was of high quality. This was his life's work. Lou Xiaoyi didn't want to buy another Sword Embryo. His spirit stones were a little tight now. It was better to make a decision from what he had.
