The mighty power of Buddha filled the space between heaven and earth. The aura of nearly a thousand Arhats was released, and the chanting of sutras made it seem like they were in a Buddhist kingdom!
Under the pressure of the Buddha power, every Swordsman could not help but gather their strength to resist. The sound of swords humming could be heard from time to time. The weakest Swordsman had to rely on his sword to stabilize his emotions. Lou Xiaoyi wondered how many Swordsman would be able to walk into the Heaven and Earth Chessboard if the confrontation continued.
Fortunately, they did not have to wait for too long!
The sound of Zhongming rang in the sky, but it was not the three times like during the Six Swords, but five times. In the midst of the humming, all the cultivators on the scene disappeared one by one …
In the next moment, Lou Xiaoyi felt that he had arrived at an ancient battleground. It seemed extremely small, like a cage, but also extremely large, and he could not see the end of it!
This was the extreme use of space in the Heaven and Earth Chessboard. The space of each cultivator's chess pieces did not seem large, but once the battle started, the space could be expanded instantly to satisfy the cultivator's battle needs. When there was no battle, the cultivator could stand at his position and observe the situation of the battlefield!
The entire chessboard was hexagonal, and the chess pieces were arranged in a hundred and twenty horizontal and a hundred and twenty vertical. This was the largest number of spaces, and the further it went, the smaller the spaces were. There were only sixty spaces at the bottom. Lou Xiaoyi did a simple count, and there should be about eight thousand spaces, and the cultivators took up two thousand of them!
Because there was no general to command, there was a stage of setting up the chessboard at the beginning. Both sides would gather at the bottom of the chessboard, and when the game officially started, they would follow the plan and either wait for the opportunity to come, or charge and break through the enemy lines with ten moves.
The Swordsman, under the lead of their respective Senior Brothers, took up their positions according to the pre-agreed order. Among the nine Sword Vein, the Shaking Shadow, the Sword Wind Tower, the Sword Knocking Mountain, the Celestial Sword Lake, the Long River, and the Seven Colors were in a line in front, separated by a few spaces.
Behind them were the elite assault teams from the Heaven-Shaking Sect, Xue Duo, Xiao Zhong Mountain, and the others. They were ready to move out at any time.
The scattered Swordsman were positioned at the outermost part of the right flank. Their position was neither up nor down. They were not in charge of attacking in groups, nor were they in charge of key directions. They were not the fire brigade, and no one would use them as cannon fodder!
They were all fellow Daoists who had risked their lives to help. Every member of the Sword Vein shared the same mentality. The most tragic and tragic part of the battle should be the organized and disciplined forces of the sect!
The method of using cannon fodder to exhaust the opponent in a mortal war was not advisable in a cultivation war. It would lose momentum!
Looking at the opposite side, the arrangement of the monks was very simple and also very Buddhist. It was just two simple Five Hundred Arhat Formations. This was the foundation of Buddhism. It was ever-changing and incomparably solid. It was a response that would not be affected by external factors. Whether it was on the Chessboard of Heaven and Earth or in a real war in space, they would always use this method, and this method had rarely disappointed them.
Lou Xiaoyi squeezed into the scattered Swordsman on the right side of the formation, looking around. The two Sword Vein members in charge of this group were Jin Dan. One was Xiao Wuwo from the Sword Wind Tower, and the other was Feng Baili from Xiao Zhong Mountain. They were in charge of guiding the group. Of course, only God knew if these people would listen to orders when the battle really started. After all, they were only barely able to call out names.
Although they were not assigned the most important task, the scattered Swordsman were all in high fighting spirit. They were also very clear that if they were not individually, but as a group, there was a gap between them and the Sword Vein forces. Every Jin Dan who had lived for hundreds of years was very clear about this point. However, they still believed that they would be able to perform outstandingly in this grand battle that was rarely seen in thousands of years.
Therefore, they were very enthusiastic when it came to ranking!
Because they were at the outermost right wing, the space in front of them was relatively narrow. Therefore, they were actually assigned to a chessboard width of only six squares. Next to them, only a few squares away, was the group from the Seven Colors Sword Sect.
The scattered Swordsman had a total of eighty-seven people. Including Xiao Wuwo and Feng Baili, there were eighty-nine people. Among all the groups in the Sword Vein, except for the elite assault team, the number of people in the Sword Vein formation was about the same.
The Swordsman assault team was of course in a wedge-shaped formation. There was no need to choose this position. It was definitely Xiao Wuwo's position, and Feng Qianli was in the middle to take care of him. This was the pride of the Sword Vein. They were the main force of this chessboard battle and the future beneficiaries. Therefore, it was their duty to stand in the most dangerous position!
In a wedge-shaped formation, other than the tip of the wedge, the most important thing was the practitioners in the front few layers! If they were strong, they would be able to kill their way through and pierce through the opponent's formation. If they were weak, they would be knocked out by the Buddhist Sect. From the overall formation, there would be a gap. As the opponent attacked, this gap would become bigger and bigger. In the end, they would not be able to pierce through the opponent, but would be cut into two or even several pieces.
Everyone was asked to take on such a heavy responsibility. They were not familiar with each other. It was almost as if each of them came from a small continent. How could they be completely different in terms of strength?
Therefore, in the end, it was just Xiao Wuwo and Feng Qianli who liked each other. If they liked each other, they would be sent to the front. If they didn't like each other, they would be sent to the back. Lou Xiaoyi belonged to this type of person who would be sent to the back. This was because his Jin Dan middle stage cultivation was at an innate disadvantage in front of most of his companions who were in the late stage or even the peak stage.
In the eyes of the Seven Colored Swordsman who were commanding the Seven Colored Swordsman, there was some disdain. You are very likely to be a powerful person with the Carefree Mask. Is there a need to hide your cultivation level and come here to do the work without putting in any effort? It would be better if you didn't come. Even if you were weaker, you would still be willing to risk your life!
Eighty-nine people, six horizontal rows. That was to say, the depth of the whole team reached fifteen floors. Lou Xiaoyi was on the fifteenth floor, and his position was in the middle of the horizontal row. That was to say, there were people on both sides. This was the safest position in the team on the battlefield. If a fight broke out, no one could attack him for the time being.
This was not deliberately chosen by him, but there was nothing to be picky about.
Because they had already made preparations before entering the Chessboard of Heaven and Earth, the formation of each formation was very fast. Furthermore, the members of the sect were more obedient. They were not like the scattered Swordsman who were dissatisfied and indignant. It was as if being placed at the back was a kind of insult.
Everyone had their own preferences, but the basic principle was that the first few layers would definitely be the strongest. Perhaps there were some differences in the formation, and different battle habits and preferences were taken into consideration. However, to the Swordsman, offense was the main theme. To attack, one had to use the best steel on the blade. No matter which universe, no matter which Sword Vein orthodoxy, this would never change!
As for the Buddhists, they were the best at dissipating the opponent's sharpness into nothingness. They were even better at it than the orthodox Daoists!
