A lone sailboat soars through the vast sky.

  Xu Lizhen, Dong Fan Yu and Wu Qi were on the sailboat when Dong Fan Yu suddenly pointed to a distant place in surprise: "It's Lu Shidi." A stream of light could be seen in the distance, but it was obviously much farther away than they were.

  "Are you also heading towards Mount Yan?" Wu Qi asked in surprise.

  "Lu Shizhong?" Xuli Zhenren rarely showed a hint of a smile, and the sailboat swiftly chased after the flowing light. In just a few breaths, they had already arrived in front of the flowing light.

  A young man was standing on the bridge.

  A year-old man had an anxious look in his eyes, and as soon as he saw the sailboat blocking his way, he was forced to slow down. But when he saw Xu Lizhen standing on the sailboat, he immediately bowed respectfully and said: "Lu Huai sees Master Xu, I didn't expect to run into Master Xu here."

  At a glance, he saw Dong Fan's remnant beside Xu Liri, and Lu Huan's eyes turned red with anger, shouting: "Dong Fan, you old thief!"

  "Lu Shizhong, what's going on?" asked Xu Lizhen.

  "Lu Shidi, previously when I went to your place, we were still chatting happily, why did you suddenly scold me? I was the one who brought a great merit to the Lu family." Dong Fan Yu also felt puzzled and couldn't understand.

  Lu Huanger was furious, pointing at Dong Fan and saying urgently: "Permit me to ask, Master Xili, didn't this Dong Fan previously go to my place and talk about the Yuanshi mine vein? Then our Tongshui branch split off, and both our Lu family and An family each sent a Zifu cultivator. But just before that, the life tablets of the two Zifu cultivators we sent from our Lu family and the nearby An family suddenly shattered and they died! My own sister was among them! This Dong Fan said it was a great achievement, saying that the small Ji family wasn't worth considering. But now? The two Zifu cultivators our Tongshui branch sent are all dead! I'm going to Xuelong City to investigate and demand an explanation!"

  "What's all dead?" Dong Fan Yu was greatly shocked.

  "What's going on?" Xulizhen also frowned, and Wu Qi beside him was also furious.

  If things go awry, it's not a credit but a calamity.

  "I didn't lie. It's indeed just the Ji family, and there are no other opponents. Moreover, our Yanshan branch has also invited fellow disciples from various factions, and many of them have arrived at the Zifu Mansion. How could it be... how could it be..."

  "Now both of the two Zifu Disciples who went with Tonghu are dead, it's a fact!" Lu Chao shouted.

  "I swear to you, Lu Shidi, if I deceive you, may my soul scatter and never enter the cycle of rebirth again." Dong Fan Yu said urgently.

  Lu Huan's face looked a bit better after hearing this oath.

  The oath of an immortal cultivator is not made lightly.

  "Hmph." Lu Huan snorted coldly.

  "It seems that Pan Yu didn't lie." Xuli Zhenren said calmly, "Then something happened on the side of Yanshan, Lu Shizhong, follow me."

  At this moment, Xu Lidi had lost his previous casualness and instead gained a hint of solemnity.

  Whoosh!

  The sailboat set off immediately and sped towards Yanshan Mountain.

  ……

  On Ox Horn Mountain, inside the Heaven-Sealing Formation of the Underworld Dragon.

  Ji Ning sat with his knees bent and his legs folded under him.

  Surrounding him were rows of flying swords, the eight Purple Mansion cultivators he had killed earlier, and after carefully searching their storage magic treasures... he obtained a total of fifteen flying swords. What surprised Ji Ning the most was that hawk-nosed cultivator, whose storage magic treasure actually contained a set of nine flying swords... it seemed that these nine flying swords were from the same origin, all emitting a cold and icy aura.

  At that time, one discovery made Ji Ning overjoyed: "Good, good, good. Same origin. The formation of the array base is even stronger. This eagle hook nose... is the hardest to kill among these eight people, I didn't expect the treasure to be more."

  The eagle-nosed monk, Ji Ning, was unknown by name. At first, when he quietly assassinated for the first time, it was to take action against him, but the eagle nose seemed to sense danger and suddenly used a large umbrella to protect himself. Forced to abandon this goal and change targets, later, during the frontal strong attack, Ji Ning also killed him with three sword edges.

  "Previously I had thirteen Entry-Level Flying Swords, now I've obtained fifteen more Entry-Level Flying Swords, totaling twenty-eight flying swords... which is enough to form three arrays."

  Ji Ning naturally seized the opportunity to refine these flying swords.

  There is no doubt that the current Xian Jian Array will take the icy cold nine flying swords of the same origin as its core.

  "Hmm." Ji Ning opened his eyes, "It's done."

  Xin De's Fifteen Flying Swords had all been refined by himself.

  "Give it a try."

  Ji Ning's heart moved slightly.

  Wow~~~~

  More than 700 flying swords suddenly appeared, with 27 of them being the top-grade flying swords that formed the foundation of three arrays. The nine flying swords emitting a cold aura were at the core, driving the entire Small Thousand Swords Array.

  "Huh?" Ji Ning's expression changed, his head splitting with pain.

  It's too demanding on the divine soul to control so many flying swords and set up a small thousand sword array at the ninth level, especially for an entry-level flying sword... The difficulty of controlling one entry-level flying sword is even higher than that of ten non-entry-level flying swords!

  "Can't set up the Small Thousand Swords Formation's ninth layer?" Ji Ning tried for the first time, but unexpectedly failed to fully activate it. "Just eighteen more flying swords entering the stage and I'm unable to set up the Small Thousand Swords Formation's ninth layer?"

  "Not true."

  Ji Ning continued to try.

  Only saw the flying swords hovering and moving around, changing their positions.

  "Yin and Yang transform, giving birth to each other endlessly!" Ji Ning suddenly thought of the "Red Bright Nine Heaven Chart" breaking through to the seventh level, the book had a saying "Yin and Yang transform, giving birth to each other endlessly". At this moment, while studying this formation... he was suddenly enlightened about this principle. If he carefully pondered it now, in a short time, half a day or at most a few days, he might be able to directly break through to the seventh level of the Red Bright Nine Heaven Chart!

  But Ji Ning did not choose to comprehend because even if he improved his body through divine magic, it would not greatly increase his strength.

  Because with the help of Minglong Locking Heaven Array... the yuan power can be even stronger than the complete yuan power of Zifu. And with the help of Sword Domain and Small Thousand Swords Array, there is such a strong power. Even if Shenmo Refining Body is improved, it doesn't help much in battle. Moreover, now is not the time to leisurely comprehend.

  "Yin and yang transform, generating endlessly." Ji Ning gazed at the twenty-seven flying swords before him.

  Nine-mouthed icy flying sword as the core.

  The other two arrays of flying swords revolved around these nine flying swords, slowly rotating and gradually intersecting with each other, the array methods mutually inducing, the two array bases vaguely becoming one.

  "Right."

  "Yin and Yang transform into each other......" Ji Ning's eyes lit up, "One is the core. Two is the auxiliary. Three is all things."

  Wow~~~~

  More than 700 flying swords floated around Ji Ning, with a faintly discernible aura of an extremely powerful fluctuation gathering. In front of Ji Ning, a sharp sword tip condensed out. This sword tip was incredibly fine and completely resembled the shape of a flying sword. It was just a single flying sword emitting light.

  "Ah!" Ji Ning felt a severe headache, wave after wave of intense stabbing pain. But on his face was an excited smile, "Haha, succeeded, succeeded."

  Even if you understand the mystery of yin and yang transformation, endless birth, relying on this mysterious power, you can finally display the ninth layer of Xiao Qianjian Array with a surge in power. However, it still reached the current limit of Ji Ning... The divine soul obviously felt extremely strenuous.

  "It's still better on the eighth floor." Ji Ning instantly cut off his eighty-one ordinary flying swords, keeping only a suspended posture.

  "Sword tip."

  Ji Ning once again condensed out a strand of sword aura.

  This is the current eighth layer of the Small Thousand Swords Array, condensed into a sword tip. The sword tip still looks like a flying sword, only not as clear as before.

  "The power is even greater than when I unleashed the Small Thousand Swords Array to kill Kōdōsun. The joy was evident on Jining's face, as his own Small Thousand Swords Array had nine flying swords at the time of Kōdōsun's death, but now it has twenty-seven... back then it was the ninth layer of the Small Thousand Swords Array, and now it is the eighth layer."

  The current eighth floor is even more powerful than the previous ninth floor.

  The reason for such a big breakthrough is... the addition of nine flying swords with the same origin as the icy cold sword.

  "Whoosh!" Ji Ning sheathed his flying sword and immediately rushed towards the Tribal Chief's residence.

  Arrived soon after.

  "Ji Ning." Ji Jiu Huo and Ji Yi Chuan both looked at Ji Ning who had suddenly rushed over.

  "Tribe leader, these are some of the treasures I obtained from killing those Purple Mansion cultivators," said Ji Ning. "I kept a few for myself, but the rest aren't of much use to me. I'll give them to you... especially those spiritual pills that can replenish our yuan energy, which will be very useful for us."

  Ji Yu nodded and didn't hesitate to take the ring handed over by Ji Ning.

  "Then I'll go deal with Tong Yu." Ji Ning said.

  "Be careful." Ji Yichuan reminded him from beside.

  "Don't worry, Father." Ji Ning smiled and turned around to follow the black fog that Ji Yu had split open, hurrying towards Tong Yu.

  ……

  The Dragon Sealing Heaven Formation is shrouded in a thick, eerie aura.

  "What's taking so long?" Tong Yu stood like a demon god, his breath surging towards the sky, his blue hair fluttering wildly as waves of divine power pulsed beneath. After all, being in the enemy's grand formation, he had to keep his divine power circulating in order to burst forth with maximum combat strength at any moment.

  "Tong Yu, that Ji Ning is only sixteen years old. When he killed the other disciples before, he must have had some tricks up his sleeve. But Brother, you're a Divine Spirit Cultivator with divine abilities on your body, so those tricks would be useless against you. I reckon he's gotten cold feet."

  "He must have been intimidated."

  Those Zifu monks also said so.

  Tong Yu stood still, his eyes scanning the darkness ahead. He couldn't help but wonder... was Ji Ning really afraid? Otherwise, knowing that Nong Zidao was studying the Array Breaker, why hadn't Ji Ning come over after killing Dongzi Qi and a group of Purple Mansion cultivators all this time?

  He had no idea that Ji Ning was refining the Flying Sword.

  "Hmph, the longer you drag it out, the more confident I'll become. Once I break through the Dragon-Sealing Heaven Array, you're all dead for sure!" Tong Yu said confidently.

  Suddenly...

  Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~ The rainwater suddenly poured down, cool and silky like mist, spreading everywhere. But they were blocked by their **big array and couldn't invade at all.

  "Rainwater!"

  "It's rainwater!" The other Zifu monks all showed a look of horror, previously Dongzi Qi had told them that this rainwater... was an omen of death and crisis.

  "Rainwater!" Tong Yu's eyes flashed with golden light, and he let out a loud roar. His body suddenly emitted dazzling golden light, and he began to grow rapidly, transforming into a giant about two stories high. The other Purple Mansion cultivators beside him were only as tall as his knee. His breath created whirlwinds that shattered the surrounding air, and his footsteps caused the entire earth to tremble and shake.

  Divine power - law like heaven and earth!

  The giant's eyes shot out golden light as he roared: "Ji Ning, come out and fight!"

  His powerful voice produced echoes in his vocal cavity.
