Chapter 232 - Hundred Star Sky-Covering Sword Formation (2/2)

Even though sitting and cultivating was great, he still liked lying down.

After closing the door, Jiang Xue sat on his stomach and grabbed his shoulders as she said, “You should tell me a story tonight.”

Zhou Xuanji said lazily, “Tomorrow, alright? I want to rest, so hurry up and get off.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xue leaned down and her bottom slid backward.

“Ss—” Zhou Xuanji gasped and moved her off his body as he said, “Alright, alright, I’ll tell you a story.”

His eyes wandered around as he looked at Jiang Xue’s smiling face, and he felt some flames in his lower body.

He flipped her over and pressed her under him as he slowly lowered his head.

Jiang Xue’s gaze became hazy, her face covered by his.

…

The next morning, Zhou Xuanji got up with Jiang Xue and started to cultivate.

He came to an empty area and took out the Hegemon Sword Sect’s sword formation scroll.

After sitting down cross-legged, he sent his mind into the scroll.

After a while, he opened his eyes and muttered, “What an exquisite sword formation!”

He suddenly realised why the Hegemon Sword Sect was so prosperous, and at the same time, a door to a new world was opened up to him.

Sword formations!

The might of sword formations was quite great, and sword formations were far more destructive than sword techniques of the same level.

This sword formation was called the Hundred Star Sky-Covering Sword Formation, and normally required 100 sword cultivators to use. It was incredibly powerful and anyone who entered the formation would find it incredibly difficult to escape.

Zhou Xuanji did not have 100 swords yet and he did not want to buy ordinary swords. Using swords from the system consumed much less spirit energy and felt easier for him.

He took out all of his swords and started to practice using the sword formation.

Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, Huang Lianxin, and Beixiao Wangjian came over to watch.

“Legends said that the Hegemon Sword Emperor could create a sword formation by himself. Even though he was most adept at using one sword, the Hegemon Sword Sect’s sword traditions came from him,” Zhao Congjian said to himself, his eyes filled with excitement.

If Zhou Xuanji could cast a sword formation by himself, his strength would definitely greatly increase.

If he could teach them afterward, wouldn’t that be perfect?

Zhou Xuanji did not pay them any mind and focused on practicing the sword formation.

The sword formation had over 1,000 styles, and the swords all crossed about all over the place. Just practicing it once required an extremely long amount of time.

Zhou Xuanji planned to change the ‘Hundred Star’ Sky-Covering Sword Formation into dozens of stars. This would reduce its variations and its power, but at least he would be able to use a sword formation.

The first day, he practiced the Hundred Star Sky-Covering Formation 10 times.

Everyone felt quite shocked; could Zhou Xuanji really learn it in such a short amount of time?

10 days later, he had already practiced the Hundred Star Sky-Covering Formation 100 times. The more he practiced, the faster he became at using the formation.

Another five days passed, and he finished practicing the Hundred Star Sky-Covering Formation 500 times, and had reached Great Accomplishment!

However, he could not manifest a sword will for the sword formation. According to the Sword Spirit, sword formations had a stage similar to sword wills, but it required the Sword Owner to reach enlightenment himself. Once he gained enlightenment, he could directly manifest the sword wills of sword formations he used in the future.

“So amazing, you finished learning a sword formation in half a month. Is this really your first time learning a sword formation?” Xian Xianghua sat on a stone chair as she asked in curiosity.

She had heard of Zhou Xuanji’s talent in the past, but now that she had seen it for herself, she realized just how monstrous he was.

Was this boy really a human?

“In all techniques in the world, no matter how different variations are, they cannot leave the original principle. The Way of the Sword is such, the Way of the Saber is such, and the Way of the Spear is such. All Ways have their own essence, and if one can understand the core of sword techniques and sword formations, nothing will be a problem for them,” Zhou Xuanji said calmly as he looked at the dozens of swords floating in the air.

Zhao Congjian excitedly asked, “Master, what is the core of the Way of the Sword?”

Zhou Xuanji glanced at him and said, “It can only be experienced but not described. If you understand it, you understand it. I understood it since I was born; as for when you can understand it, that depends on your own fate.”
