Hundred-Sword Diagram

Between sounds.

Lu Qingfeng reached to his waist and conjured seventy-two Golden Light magic swords that appeared in the air, arranged in all directions. The sword light blazed wildly, transforming into countless swords that danced and constantly eroded the divine light and silver needles.

Boom boom boom!

The Silver River reversed, and sword light became a river.

The collision nearly collapsed the entire underground space. With a deafening roar, countless large rocks fell, some crashing into the Golden Light Sword Formation and being ground to dust, others landing in the magma and merging with it.

The Golden Light Sword Formation activated to resist the silver river of light.

Yet divine light still pierced through, and silver needles still passed through.

"The Taiyin Calamity-Crossing Robe!"

The Moonlight Robe enveloped Lu Qingfeng, making him appear like a celestial being descended from the Moon Palace, his otherworldly aura accentuated by the robe. The robe emitted a soft glow, effectively shielding him from the divine light and silver needles.

Invulnerable to Myriad Arts, that is all!

"What a Rain Mountain Pavilion! He actually has such methods."

Sikong Qinglian frowned slightly.

They thought they could kill a mere Spirit Void Cultivator with a single blow, but they were unexpectedly blocked, causing such a commotion. This was no different from forcibly breaking the formation; the Sky-Piercing's momentum could probably be seen from tens or even hundreds of miles away, and one could feel the two powerful auras battling it out.

It was not her wish.

"Town!"

Sikong Qinglian held a whisk, Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles, enveloping the Golden Light Sword Formation and Lu Qingfeng. Lu Qingfeng felt as if there were mountains all around him.

Even the Golden Light Sword Formation dared not bear the weight.

"This method is still lacking!"

"Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks!"

Seeing that Sikong Qinglian wanted to end the battle quickly and kill him, Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but sneer. He reached into his Storage Bag again, and 365 iron spikes flew out and embedded themselves in the Golden Light Sword Formation.

The sword formation immediately stabilized, Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles Needle.

"What a powerful sword formation."

Does this formation have a name?

Sikong Qinglian looked at the Golden Light Sword Formation with amazement in her eyes and asked a question.

"The Great Geng Sword Formation!"

Lu Qingfeng's voice was clear and resonant, echoing in all directions.

The Great Geng Sword Formation!

This was originally a sword formation that could be crafted by those who had reached the Spirit Void Stage in the Azure Origin Sword Art. Later, the Azure Origin Sword Art Fusion with the Luofu Sword Scripture to obtain the Luofu Sword Canon. The Great Geng Sword Formation was preserved, and its power and mystery were even greater.

It had never been refined before, but after a hundred years in the Shattered Star Sea, it was finally refined.

This is the first time it's been used, and its power is indeed remarkable.

With a single burst of energy, it could withstand even a strike from Core Formation True Person wielding a sixth-tier Law Artifact.

No wonder even Sikong Qinglian was amazed.

"Rain Mountain Pavilion is a genius with Dual Mastery of Alchemy and Artifice. I never imagined that I had underestimated you. With this sword formation alone, you are even qualified to add a fourteenth seat to Yushan Island."

Although Sikong Qinglian expressed her amazement, her tone remained calm.

"Senior Sikong, could it be that you underestimate me and that's why you chose me to come along?"

Lu Qingfeng sensed the intense murderous intent in Sikong Qinglian's words and said coldly.

In fact.

Lu Qingfeng had been on guard since the way here.

On Yushan Island, there are also two Core Formation True Person skilled in array formations. It's strange that Sikong Qinglian, wanting to break the array, didn't seek them out but instead came to him.

Perhaps they thought Lu Qingfeng was weak and that since he broke the formation and obtained the treasures of the cave abode, he didn't need to share the spoils.

Perhaps he had already planned to kill Lu Qingfeng the moment he broke into the cave abode.

However, Lu Qingfeng leaned towards the third possibility—

"If it were just the Five-Yang Sword, why would I need to kill you?"

Sikong Qinglian shook her head, using one hand to control Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles, and the other hand to form a hand seal to retrieve the Five-Yang Sword.

"Really."

"The Hundred-Sword Diagram, is it?"

Lu Qingfeng was enveloped by the Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles, but he still looked outwards.

The Five-Yang Sword hovered in the air, radiating power.

It has been submerged in magma and fire for thousands of years, absorbing the endless Blazing Sun Force. To capture it by ordinary means would require enduring a full-force attack from the Five-Yang Sword, and there is even a possibility that it might escape.

The hand seal that Sikong Qinglian was using at this moment was the method of sheathing the sword.

However, compared to the Five-Yang Sword, Sikong Qinglian's gaze was even more fervent as she looked at the hundred stone pillars in the magma.

[Law Artifact: Magma Stone Pillars]

Grade: None

[Note: Includes the inheritance of the "Hundred-Sword Diagram"]

[Note: Hundreds of thousands of years ago, in the Five Directions Realm, there was a person of extraordinary talent known as "Daoist Taixuan," whose mastery of array formations was unparalleled. He integrated array formations into his cultivation, requiring him to merge his soul with an array diagram to refine his Primordial Spirit. The Primordial Spirit was the array diagram, and the array diagram was the Primordial Spirit, naturally possessing infinite Miaofa. Once the method was perfected, it was established as Orthodox Grade. Later, Daoist Taixuan perfected the method, passed down twenty-four array diagrams, and ascended to the upper realm. In the past, the unorthodox Bamboo Mountain Sect inherited part of Daoist Taixuan's lineage, obtaining the Hundred-Sword Diagram, the Myriad-Li Mountains and Rivers Diagram, the Purple Cloud Formation Diagram, the True Form Diagram of the Five Peaks, Nine-Twist Celestial River Formation Diagram. With the destruction of the Bamboo Mountain Sect, the five great array diagrams have been lost.]

"The five great array diagrams of the Bamboo Mountain Sect, Myriad-Li Mountains and Rivers Diagram, the Purple Cloud Formation Diagram, and the Nine-Twist Celestial River Formation Diagram, have not been found to this day."

"The Five Peaks Sect obtained the True Form Diagram of the Five Peaks and thus established the sect. Each of the sect's True Person is capable of fighting against many. It is said that the Five Peaks Sect, as well as the Hollow Bamboo Sect and the Hundred Ghosts Gate, are searching for the traces of the remaining four formation diagrams."

" With the Hundred-Sword Diagram now revealed, it's no wonder Senior Sikong wanted to kill me to silence me."

Lu Qingfeng spoke in a clear voice, fighting and maneuvering against Sikong Qinglian while simultaneously forming hand seals, with glints of light and shadow appearing from sword sheaths and scabbards.

Accompanied by flowing light and dazzling colors, it penetrated the Great Geng Sword Formation and landed on the Five-Yang Sword.

"The Rain Mountain Pavilion is indeed very knowledgeable."

"They can barely take care of themselves, yet they covet the Five-Yang Sword. Isn't that laughable?"

Sikong Qinglian's brows were fierce, and her voice was cold.

"The treasures of the world belong to those with virtue."

Lu Qingfeng sneered and ignored him.

While activating the Great Geng Sword Formation, he also used the "Light-Containing Shadow-Sweeping Method" to capture the Five-Yang Sword.

"Um?"

Sikong Qinglian had the upper hand and thought the Five-Yang Sword was a sure thing.

However, after Lu Qingfeng joined, the initial progress instantly regressed, and they lost control of the Five-Yang Sword. The next instant, the Five-Yang Sword trembled, and streaks of light enveloped it. Then, with a low hum, the Five-Yang Sword pierced through the air and disappeared into the distance.

The direction was towards Lu Qingfeng.

Lu Qingfeng was seen holding a sword sheath in his hand.

The Five-Yang Sword pierced through the air, heading straight for its scabbard.

Clang!

The sword was sheathed, producing a metallic clang. Meanwhile, Lu Qingfeng's Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles, was also pierced by the Five-Yang Sword.

"The Great Geng Sword Formation!"

"Change!"

The Great Geng Sword Formation was activated, taking the opportunity to break through the cover of the Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles.

"Excellent tactic!"

"That's a truly brilliant method!"

Sikong Qinglian flicked her whisk, and her gaze toward Lu Qingfeng became more solemn.

Who would have thought that an Alchemist, would possess such power? Even when she unleashed the Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles, it was difficult to suppress him; it was truly beyond her expectations.

This is a variable.

"I appreciate your concession."

Lu Qingfeng didn't rush to examine the Five-Yang Sword in his hand. He put it away with a backhand and said calmly.

The method of sheathing the Swordsmanship is discussed.

He used the Swordsmanship he obtained from the East Ridge Sword Sect in the Evergreen Realm, but he had never had the opportunity to use it.

The East Ridge Sword Sect is a lineage passed down from the Eastern Numina Primordial Lord the Thunder Ministry in the Upper Realm. This great god of the Thunder Ministry is even above the God-Seeking Patriarch, and is one rank above the Siming Duke Bin Yuanjun.

If the lineage he passed down were placed in the Five Directions Realm, it would at least be considered a top-tier lineage.

Even if we only Swordsmanship, they are infinitely more profound than the unorthodox methods of Sikong Qinglian.

Sikong Qinglian glanced at the Five-Yang Sword in Lu Qingfeng's hand, then looked at the hundred stone pillars in the magma.

With the Five-Yang Sword retrieved, the hundred stone pillars, no longer suppressed, trembled and were about to break free of the magma.

"The Hundred-Sword Diagram!"

Lu Qingfeng and Sikong Qinglian exchanged a glance and immediately moved—

Sikong Qinglian swept her whisk, and billions of silver lights flashed, sweeping across dozens of stone pillars.

Lu Qingfeng pointed, and the Great Geng Sword Formation flew out, also covering dozens of stone pillars.

Boom boom boom!

The Great Geng Sword Formation clashed with the Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles, producing a deafening sound that traveled for countless miles. They then separated, each carrying dozens of stone pillars back with it.

Forty-two.

Lu Qingfeng opened his Storage Bag and put the stone pillars in, a total of forty-two.

Limited by his cultivation level, he was ultimately inferior to Sikong Qinglian.

The gap between the Spirit Void and the Core Formation Realm is like an insurmountable chasm. With the Great Geng Sword Formation in hand and various Divine Ability, Lu Qingfeng has a certain degree of confidence in defeating an ordinary Void Core Realm True Person.

It's already quite impressive that they can contend with a veteran True Person like Sikong Qinglian.

"Rain Mountain Pavilion".

"The Hundred-Sword Diagram is useless to both of us if it's split in two. Why don't we make a deal and combine the diagrams?"

Sikong Qinglian looked at Lu Qingfeng, her State of Mind truly remarkable.

The Five-Yang Sword was stolen.

The Hundred-Sword Diagram into two parts.

She went through all sorts of hardships to discover this cave abode and painstakingly sought out Lu Qingfeng, all for the sake of monopolizing the benefits.

Who would have thought that this would backfire and benefit someone else!

If it were an ordinary cultivator, they would have been furious long ago, but Sikong Qinglian showed no anger on her face.

"After obtaining the True Form Diagram of the Five Peaks, the Five Peaks Sect divided the Bamboo Mountain Sea into three parts with the Hollow Bamboo Sect and the Hundred Ghosts Gate."

"The Hundred-Sword Diagram is as famous as the True Form Diagram of the Five Peaks. Senior Sikong, what treasure do you intend to use to exchange for the Forty-Two Stone Pillars in my possession?"

Lu Qingfeng looked up and asked.

Neither he nor Sikong Qinglian could do anything to each other, so they might as well exchange it for some practical benefits.

The complete "Twenty-Four Formation Diagrams" transmitted by the Daoist Taixuan is Orthodox Grade method. However, each formation diagram can be broken down into its own equivalent to an Unorthodox-Grade Cultivation Method.

An incomplete, Unorthodox-Grade Cultivation Method is naturally inferior to a complete one.

Not to mention that it's Cultivation Method like the Hundred-Sword Diagram, which cannot be practiced without being a complete method.

Lu Qingfeng looked down on it, but Sikong Qinglian valued it highly.

"Please tell me what you require, Lord."

Sikong Qinglian's Movement Method are ordinary, only at the Refined Grade.

Although she had many fortuitous opportunity, including obtaining the Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles and cultivating to the Core Formation Stage, if she could switch to an Unorthodox-Grade Cultivation Method, her strength would definitely reach a higher level. Combined with the Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles, it would be difficult for any True Person to defeat her.

The desire for the "Hundred-Sword Diagram" is understandable.

"I have no interest in the 'Hundred-Sword Diagram', and it would be perfectly acceptable to give the Forty-Two Stone Pillars to you, senior."

"It is only because my strength is weak that I am afraid my life or Life and Death is uncertain. If I am not careful, I may lose my life outside. It would be a pity if the Forty-Two Stone Pillars were destroyed or lost."

Lu Qingfeng looked at Sikong Qinglian and said with a smile, "If Senior Sikong can protect me for a while, you may take the Forty-Two Stone Pillars."

I'll save a few chapters for later. I might be delayed for a day or two when I go home at the end of the month, so I don't end up in a rush and have to write and publish at the same time without any quality.

The update will start on the 30th. This is Qidian calls a "mass update," which is actually just updating to Qidian monthly ticket bonus points issued by Qidian. It's not something I'm doing voluntarily, so don't get your hopes up or take it too seriously.
