Manipulating hundreds of Swords of True Qi, this third level Sword Intent truly possesses more startling power compared to the second level Sword Intent!
Ye Chen had previously been able to manipulate hundreds of Swords of True Qi as well, but those Swords of True Qi contained only one type of Sword Intent.
However, this Sword Formation let many types of Sword Intents cooperate, causing the lethality of the hundreds of Swords of True Qi to spike to an unbelievable degree!
This is the third level Sword Intent, with the combination of Sword Formation and Sword Intents, of course it's more powerful than the second level that possesses only one type of Sword Intent!
Ye Chen felt that if he mastered a few Sword Formations , this third level Sword Intent, his combat power would again be able to greatly increase!
This was a new powerful attack technique!
Ye Chen was itching to try it out.
It wasn't just Ye Chen, at this moment Jiang Yao and Yu Luoxuan, after seeing Sister Yu's miraculous Sword Formation's lethality, their eyes shimmered with light, and the two young girls also fostered the idea of cultivating the Sword Formation.
Seeing the expression on the three of them, Sister Yu smiled gently, "During the time I teach you the way of the sword, I will instruct you in several Sword Formations, from easy to difficult. Once you've mastered one Sword Formation, I'll start imparting a more powerful Sword Formation to you."
"How much you'll learn depends on your insight. Don't let the eight months pass and find that not one of you three has learned even a single Sword Formation, okay?"
"We'll surely learn at least two or three Sword Formations."
Ye Chen, Jiang Yao, and Yu Luoxuan all started laughing.
"Good, then now let's go to the backyard and begin practicing the first Sword Formation." Sister Yu, clad in a simple white dress, moved nimbly towards the backyard.
Ye Chen and the other two followed her there.
Sister Yu's backyard was much more spacious than the front yard, and on the ground, one could see sword marks etched from practicing sword techniques, clearly indicating that Sister Yu often practiced her swordsmanship here.
"From the lowest to the highest, Sword Intent can be divided into the first level 'Sword Intent of All Things,' the second level 'Fusion Sword Intent,' and the third level 'Sword Formation.'
"And within the third level 'Sword Formation,' there are differences too. Based on the number of second level Sword Intents contained within the Sword Formation, they can be classified as low-level Sword Formations, mid-level Sword Formations, and high-level Sword Formations.
As to whether there are any Sword Formations beyond the high level, with my current level of sword cultivation, I am unable to know."
"Low-level Sword Formations contain fewer than ten types of second level Sword Intents; mid-level Sword Formations contain fewer than one hundred types of second level Sword Intents; high-level Sword Formations contain fewer than a thousand types of second level Sword Intents!"
"Now, I will teach you a low-level Sword Formation, and the name of this Sword Formation is 'Thunderlight Sword Formation'!"
As Sister Yu spoke, her snowy palm flicked lightly, and thirteen beads started to float out, scattering across the sky, suspending in mid-air in a fascinating arrangement.
Ye Chen looked towards these beads and saw faint traces of Sword Intent wafting from them.
These beads were evidently beads that contained Sword Intents!
Jiang Yao's clear eyes fixated on the thirteen beads, which also sparked brightly.
Yu Luoxuan, too, looked curiously at these beads.
"This 'Thunderlight Sword Formation' is the simplest one among the Eight Great Sword Formations I obtained from a great fortuitous encounter, yet its power has already reached the strength of Earth Rank attack martial skills,"
Sister Yu said slowly.
The simplest of the Eight Great Sword Formations possessed the power of an Earth Rank attack martial skill!
The words of Sister Yu made Ye Chen and the other two tremble.
Clearly, the great opportunity Sister Yu had obtained was extraordinary.
Ye Chen thought to himself, surely powerful martial artists all had their own fortuitous encounters. He had the opportunities of Thousand Lotus Cave Abode and the Ancestral Land Secret Realm, and Sister Yu also had her Sword Formation opportunity!
Others who managed to become Spirit Sea Realm experts, Rotating Pill Realm experts, and even Heavenly Saint Realm experts of course also had their own opportunities!
Earth Rank martial skills were still a level Ye Chen had never touched.
Perhaps only after he cultivated the Nine Transformation Fighting Body to the Fourth Transformation would he possibly step into the realm of Earth Rank martial skills.
Now, Yu, the elder sister, was about to teach the first Sword Formation, this "Thunderlight Sword Formation," which was an Earth Rank martial skill, and Ye Chen certainly intended to properly cultivate it.
Not only Ye Chen, but Jiang Yao and Yu Luoxuan were also eager to start cultivating this martial skill.
All three were geniuses; Ye Chen and Jiang Yao had obtained first place in their respective true disciple selection contests, while Yu Luoxuan was the second place winner of the selection contest. With their exceptional talents, they were naturally unafraid of the difficulty in cultivating Earth Rank martial skills.
Yu, the elder sister, looked at the thirteen beads floating in the sky and slowly said, "To cultivate a Sword Formation, the first step is to grasp the various Sword Intents contained within the formation; the second step is to learn how to arrange the formation so that the Sword Intents complement each other; the third step is to instantaneously set up and conceal the Sword Formation."
"This Thunderlight Sword Formation contains thirteen types of Sword Intents, among which eleven are first-level Sword Intents, and two are second-level Sword Intents. When you cultivate the Sword Formation, you'll understand that it's not about having more Sword Intents that's better, but having Sword Intents that complement each other better.
Otherwise, the Sword Formation will be difficult to construct and collapse in an instant!"
Ye Chen and the others nodded in agreement.
They knew that a Sword Formation, like any other formation, must be appropriately matched. Having one too many or too few could prevent the formation from taking shape.
"The main lethality of the Thunderlight Sword Formation lies in the two second-level Sword Intents, which are 'Furious Roar' and 'Dazzling Light'!"
As she said this, Yu, the elder sister, looked at Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, you've also cultivated Thunder Sword Intent, but you've only extracted the power of slaughter from it.
The 'Furious Roar' in this 'Thunderlight Sword Formation' is derived from the mighty rumble of thunder in the Thunder Sword Intent, supplemented by the roar of several other Sword Intents that include sound, eventually forming the lethal power of 'Furious Roar'!"
Yu, the elder sister, then demonstrated the lethal power of the Sword Formation.
With a light tap of her finger, the thirteen beads of Sword Intent floating in the void shot out dozens of meters in an instant. Then, after the beads vanished, a thunderous 'Furious Roar' suddenly erupted within the area covered by the beads!
The noise was deafening, as if countless thunders were exploding or numerous demon beasts were howling ferociously. Standing tens of meters away, Ye Chen and the others felt as if their hearts were being furiously struck by a large drum upon hearing the sound. If one were truly in the midst of this Sword Formation, the noise alone could instantly turn one's mind blank!
After all, in a fight between experts, victory and defeat are often just a hair's breadth apart. If one were to deploy this Sword Formation in a battle, the adversary might not be able to withstand the assault from the noise, and the moment they were distracted, they might be slain.
The lethality of this 'Furious Roar' was indeed fearsome!
"The lethality of 'Furious Roar' is just one aspect of the 'Thunderlight Great Formation,' another is 'Dazzling Light'!"
As Yu, the elder sister, spoke, the great formation made from the thirteen beads suddenly burst into endless blinding brilliance. Just looking at the piercing light from a distance was enough to dazzle one's eyes, and if it were to directly hit the eyes, it could instantly blind the person!
This was the lethality of Dazzling Light!
This "Thunderlight Sword Formation" uses the lethal power of sound combined with the brilliance of Dazzling Light, together with the slash of the eleven first-level Sword Intents to easily slay anyone caught within the Sword Formation!
Ye Chen, Jiang Yao, and Yu Luoxuan watched Yu, the elder sister, demonstrate this first type of Sword Intent and could no longer resist starting their cultivation!
After the demonstration, the thirteen beads flew back and landed in front of them.
Yu, the elder sister, watched the three with a faint smile and said, "Now, let's begin with the first step of cultivating the 'Thunderlight Sword Formation,' taking control of these thirteen types of Sword Intents!"
"Each of you select a Sword Intent Law Bead, immerse your Divine Sense in it, and you will be able to sense the Sword Intent within."
With Yu, the elder sister's words, Ye Chen and the others each immersed their Divine Senses into a bead.
Yu Luoxuan's Divine Sense entered a bead containing the howling sound of the wind, while Jiang Yao immersed her Divine Sense into a bead containing the Sword Intent of the blazing sun's radiance.
Ye Chen's Divine Sense gently probed into one bead, and in an instant, he found himself in a world of dazzling multicolored light.
This multicolored radiance was constantly bursting forth, growing increasingly dazzling and splendid!
This was clearly the Radiant Light Sword Intent!
With his Divine Sense immersed within, Ye Chen focused on comprehending this new kind of Sword Intent!
