On the Glass River, five Liang Family seaships sailed upstream. Liang Zhaohuang stood aboard the lead ship, the Black Lotus Ship, five-colored Buddha light flowing through his eyes as he used Heavenly Eye Insight to peer into the river.
A moment later, he raised a hand, and all five seaships came to a halt. Liang Zhaohuang directly ordered, "Right here. Form the formation."
At his command, the family's five seaships immediately arranged themselves according to their designated positions. The five ships occupied the five directions, their formations and restrictions activating one after another, each manifesting a lotus of a different color to suppress its respective direction.
Then, under Liang Ruijian's direction, the five seaships and five lotus flowers linked as one, transforming into a gigantic Five-Colored Lotus Formation that enveloped the five directions and pressed downward.
When the Liang Family had first built these seaships, they had deliberately arranged for the formations and restrictions aboard the five ships named after lotuses to each favor one of the Five Elements. Once all five ships gathered, however, the formations on the five lotus ships could link together as one and form a larger, more powerful formation.
The Liang Family's original intention had been for the five seaships to link together and possess combat strength comparable to a warship.
Naturally, after Liang Zhaohuang broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm and the Liang Family acquired inheritances at the level of Dao formations, gaining a deeper understanding of a warship's combat strength, they realized that their original idea had been somewhat wishful thinking.
After all, the formations arranged on warships were essentially all fourth-order Dao formations, and there was more than one of them. Some even formed an entire system, linked as one; when activated together, the power they could unleash could exceed that
