Improving the Immortal Execution Sword Formation
"Master is mighty!"
"Master is so domineering!"
After everyone returned to Golden Ao Island, the disciples of the Interception Sect Jie Sect Disciple were overjoyed to learn of their great victory, their eyes filled with excitement.
Most of the Jie Sect Disciple were of Demon Race origin, yet they were ruthlessly oppressed by the Chan Sect. Tongtian, out of consideration for the Three Pure Ones, instructed the Jie Sect Disciple to be tolerant.
The Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods Calamity has begun, but the Chan Sect is pressing forward relentlessly.
It's so frustrating, so incredibly frustrating.
Today, not only did Master personally take action, but he also went directly to Kunlun Mountain and killed dozens of Chan Sect Disciple at the Daoist temple of Yuanshi Tianzun!
This was nothing short of a resounding slap in the face to those who considered themselves to be of the orthodox lineage of Orthodox Xuanmen.
"That felt great! That felt so good!"
A burly man, transformed from Black Bear Spirit, patted his belly and laughed heartily, "Those disciples of the Chan Sect always think they're so high and mighty, but today they finally know what pain is!"
A flower fairy beside him looked worried. "Although Master vented his anger this time, he has also completely broken ties with the Yuanshi Sage. In the future..."
"What's there to be afraid of?" the Black Bear Spirit glared. "With my master here and the Immortal Execution Sword Formation in place, Yuanshi can Yuanshi do to me?"
"Can..."
The flower fairy was still somewhat worried.
Now that the Taishang Master Uncle, the Yuanshi Master Uncle, and the Two Sages of the West have joined forces, their Interception Sect is likely to...
In the Biyou Palace, Tongtian stood alone on a high platform inside the hall, his face gloomy and his brows furrowed.
"The Immortal Execution Sword Formation, which can only be broken by the Four Saints, is truly laughable..."
Tongtian gave a self-deprecating laugh.
The battle at Kunlun Mountain would have been disastrous if the Six-eared Macaque and the Little Deer Fairy hadn't arrived in time.
Tongtian a flick of his sleeve, the Four Swords of Execution had been floating around him disappeared. Then, his figure transformed into a beam of sword light and headed towards the Three Immortal Islands.
On the Three Immortal Islands, Lin Tian was playing chess with Kong Xuan.
Kong Xuan held the white pen, Lin Tian held the black pen, Little Deer stood beside them.
You lost again.
Lin Tian placed his last piece, and the black pieces on the chessboard connected, completely engulfing the white pieces.
Kong Xuan smiled wryly, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Dao Venerable of chess is as vast as the heavens; this disciple is far from reaching your level."
Lin Tian was about to speak when he suddenly looked up towards the outside of the island, "We have guests."
Before he could finish speaking, a streak of azure sword light landed beside him.
The figure of the Sect Master Tongtian was revealed.
"Greetings Dao Venerable."
Get up.
Lin Tian said calmly.
Tongtian bowed deeply to Lin Tian: "Many thanks to the Dao Venerable for saving me that day. If it weren't for the Dao Venerable Master sending Six-Eared Macaque and Little Deer to help me, I, Tongtian, would probably have perished under the combined attack of the Four Saints."
Lin Tian gestured for Kong Xuan to step back, then looked at Tongtian and said, "Sit."
Tongtian sat down as instructed, and Lin Tian poured him a cup of tea.
The tea is the Enlightenment Tea, and the water is the Three-light Divine Water. The aroma is refreshing and dispels the depression in Tongtian's heart.
"Your strength has stabilized at the second level of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, your progress is not slow." Lin Tian took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Compared to the Taishang, you are indeed slightly inferior. But in a one-on-one fight, Yuanshi, Jieyin, Zhunti are all no match for you."
Tongtian shook his head with a wry smile, "It's all thanks to the Dao Venerable, but my Immortal Execution Sword Formation is practically useless."
His tone was filled with helplessness as he said this.
Lin Tian put down his teacup and looked calmly at Tongtian: "So, you came to find me because you want me to help you improve your sword formation?"
Tongtian's spirits lifted, and he nodded emphatically. "Exactly! Dao Venerable's cultivation is boundless and his understanding of Tongtian Great Dao's laws far surpasses ours. If Dao Venerable is willing to take action, he can definitely transform the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, making it no longer afraid of the Four Saints joining forces!"
His eyes were full of expectation, tinged with a hint of pleading.
Lin Tian nodded.
"I know a little about the Immortal Execution Sword Formation."
After a long silence, Lin Tian slowly spoke, "This formation is based on the Four Swords of Execution, with the formation diagram as its guide. It gathers the killing energy of heaven and earth, forming a forbidden zone of its own. Those who enter the formation will not only have their spiritual energy blocked, but their connection to the Great Dao will also be suppressed, and their Supernatural Power powers will be reduced to less than one-tenth."
Tongtian nodded. "What the Dao Venerable says is absolutely right."
Lin Tian said calmly, "The Four Swords of Execution, each with its own killing intent, stand in four directions, with fixed array cores and orderly operation. Such an array is indeed powerful, but it is also easy to see through and target."
"Especially when the number of enemies is just enough to break the formation, all you need to do is attack from one side at a time, and the formation will surely break."
Tongtian smiled bitterly; this was precisely the greatest weakness of the Immortal Execution Sword Formation!
"Then... how can we improve this?" he asked urgently.
Lin Tian didn't answer directly, but instead looked at the Qingping Sword in Tongtian's hand. "Let me see your Qingping Sword."
Tongtian took out the Qingping Sword and presented it with both hands.
Lin Tian took the Qingping Sword and gently stroked the blade with his fingertips.
The sword hummed, emanating a sense of pleasure.
"The Four Swords of Execution represent four extreme methods of killing, too extreme and lacking flexibility," Lin Tian said slowly. "But the Qingping Sword resonates with your will. If you use the Qingping as a guide to supplement the sword formation..."
He suddenly raised his hand, and the Qingping Sword flew out of his hand, hovering in mid-air.
At the same time, Tongtian also released the Four Swords of Execution, Four Swords of Execution, together with the Qingping Sword, formed a pentagram formation in the air.
"Watch closely."
Lin Tian formed a hand seal, and a vast aura emanated from his body.
Kong Xuan, Golden-Winged Great Peng, Six-Eared Macaque, and others sensed the unusual activity and rushed over.
They saw that Lin Tian was shrouded in a layer of Chaos light, making it impossible to see clearly. They could only sense the aura emanating from him that made them tremble.
Inside the light screen, Lin Tian used his fingers to inscribe profound array patterns in the void.
Every stroke of the pen resonates with the Great Dao.
As the five swords swung in turn, a glimmer of life emerged from the killing intent.
Tongtian stared intently, sensing the changes within.
Under Lin Tian's demonstration, his understanding of Sword Dao reached a new level.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Tian finished his final stroke.
"Buzz!!!"
Five swords rang out in unison, their echoes resounding throughout the Three Immortal Islands!
However, it did not spread to the Primordial Wilderness, as it was protected by the formation set up by Lin Tian.
As the light faded, the Four Swords of Execution and the Qingping Sword returned to Tongtian's side. Among the five swords, the Five Elements of light flowed faintly, forming a flawless cycle.
"This formation can be named 'Heaven-Slaying'." Lin Tian withdrew his hand, his aura returning to calm, as if the earth-shattering deduction just now was merely a casual act.
"The Heaven Punishing Sword Formation..." Tongtian murmured, his eyes blazing with intense light. "A fine name! A fine formation!"
He felt the new connection between the five swords, and the ever-changing mysteries of the formation, and a surge of heroic spirit welled up in his heart.
"This formation cannot be broken by anyone less than five individuals of equal strength." Lin Tian's words confirmed his conjecture. "Currently, there are only four Saints in the Primordial Wilderness. Unless Hongjun personally intervenes, no one can break this formation."
Tongtian took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Lin Tian: "I will never forget the Tongtian 'Dao Venerable grace of rebirth! The Interception Sect will forever be grateful for the Dao Venerable's great virtue!"
Lin Tian nodded and said, "Get up. The formation is complete. How much power you can unleash depends on yourself."
Tongtian rose, carefully sheathing the five swords, his face filled with excitement. "This disciple will certainly not fail the Dao Venerable's expectations!"
He bowed again before transforming into a beam of sword light and departing.
Kong Xuan and the others gathered around, their eyes filled with curiosity.
"Dao Venerable, is the Heaven Punishing Sword Formation truly that powerful?" the Golden-Winged Great Peng couldn't help but ask.
Lin Tian looked in the direction Tongtian had left and said calmly, "He's much stronger than you. What, aren't you going to cultivate?"
Yes, yes.
The Golden-winged Great Peng Bird's expression changed, and it ran away with a fawning smile.
