Chapter 1269: What Does the Sword Formation Need?

Tianhu Immortal Realm.

The most respected young master of the human race looked at the exchange list, drooling with excitement.

“Why do I need points to exchange? Can’t I use Immortal Jade or Xuanhuang aura?” Li Jin Yun said with some regret.

“Mysterious Yellow Enlightenment Tea costs 100,000 points for just one tael.”

“A Postnatal Spiritual Treasure costs 300,000 points.”

Li Jin Yun silently calculated how many tasks he would need to complete to exchange for a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure.

At that moment, an elder exuding the aura of a Great Luo Sage entered Li Jin Yun’s room.

“Young Master, the Master requests your presence,” the elder said.

“Father, when did you return?!” Li Jin Yun exclaimed excitedly, then hurried to meet his father.

“Father, when did you come back?” Li Jin Yun asked joyfully.

“Yun’er obtained a celestial tool that resembles an inheritance, so I had to come see it,” Li Jin Yun’s father said with a smile.

“Father, how did you know?” Li Jin Yun asked in surprise.

“Your father is still a quasi-saint; if I can’t even notice that, our family wouldn’t deserve to be the top clan in Tianhu Immortal Realm,” Li Jin Yun’s father said with a slight smile.

“Father, there are some things I can’t say; if I do, they’ll disappear,” Li Jin Yun replied.

“I understand. I already know the origin of that item.”

“This is your opportunity; make the most of it, and try to take our family further.” Li Jin Yun’s father smiled and patted his son’s head.

Initially, when he learned that his son had acquired an unknown celestial tool, he wanted to stop it.

But then he remembered the decree given to his son when he was young by a Great Saint.

“Your fate brings loyalty and righteousness, with a kind heart. In youth, you’ll soar like a Roc, rising rapidly.”

After using his own influence to investigate, he discovered that many children of the same age as his son in Tianhu Immortal Realm had also received such celestial tools and embarked on the path of cultivation.

At that moment, he realized that this was certainly a recruitment initiative from those great sects within the Three Thousand Realms.

After further investigation, he focused on the Hidden Spirit Sect in the Wood Origin Immortal Realm, which was relatively close to Tianhu Immortal Realm.

Then he purchased this information through the top-tier trading associations in those Immortal Realms, feeling at ease about allowing his son to possess those celestial tools.

“Hidden Spirit Sect is now a major sect in the Three Thousand Realms.”

“It is said that disciples in the Hidden Spirit Sect are at least Great Luo Sages, and they are all very powerful.” Li Jin Yun’s father gazed at the intelligence regarding the Hidden Spirit Sect.

He even intercepted a scene of the Hidden Spirit Sect Disciple surrounding and defeating a saint-level chaotic giant beast, which astonished him.

He felt an overwhelming sense that his son was rising too high to reach Hidden Spirit Sect.

After having dinner with his parents, Li Jin Yun returned to his room.

Now, the time when he went to sleep every day was the happiest moment for him.

Because he could enter dreams and visit a very special place.

There, various teachers taught him everything he wanted to learn.

Of course, what made him even happier was playing all sorts of games with kids his age and earning points.

Li Jin Yun slowly closed his eyes and soon found himself in a garden more luxurious than his own home.

“Wu Shang, what are we doing today?” Li Jin Yun rubbed his hands excitedly.

“Let’s just focus on listening to the teachers tonight.”

“Some people have already reached the Nascent Soul Stage, earning a ton of points through their cultivation and fighting strength.”

“Playing games now would just get us crushed.”

“Sharpening the axe doesn’t waste time chopping wood; let’s train first and then have fun later,” Wu Shang decided.

“Alright, I’ll head to the swordsmanship secret realm. After class, we’ll meet up to spar,” Li Jin Yun nodded.

"Sure."

In the swordsmanship secret realm, Li Jin Yun arrived at the area for learning sword formations.

By then, over a thousand boys like him were already waiting for the teacher to arrive.

When class started, a man dressed in white entered the swordsmanship secret realm.

Immediately, all the boys stood up and bowed respectfully.

“Greetings, Teacher!”

Their voices rang out in unison, sharp as drawn swords.

“Good. That’s the kind of energy we sword practitioners should have,” Xiang Yun nodded in approval.

With nothing else to do today, he took on some small tasks to earn points while checking out the new generation of the sect.

“Today is my first lesson with you all. Someone has already covered the basics of sword formations, so I’ll teach you something different.”

Xiang Yun raised his hand slightly, and five precious artifact spiritual swords appeared around him.

“These five spiritual swords, each representing a different element, can maximize the power of the small Five Elements sword formation.”

A perfectly formed small Five Elements sword formation took shape, transforming in the sky and simulating the slaying of various enemies.

Then, the five spiritual swords multiplied into eleven, creating various Five Elements sword formations in the sky.

After that, the eleven swords became eighteen, forming the killing formation of the five elements.

Then, eighteen turned into thirty-six.

Thirty-six became sixty-four, and sixty-four kept multiplying…

Until finally, there were ten thousand spiritual swords.

After completing the great five elements void sword formation, all the spiritual swords in the sky vanished.

Looking at the stunned boys below, Xiang Yun smiled and asked, “Now, can you tell me what our sword formation lineage needs the most?”

“An unshakable determination to master the sword formation and unmatched willpower,” one disciple exclaimed enthusiastically.

“We must always keep our hearts focused on the sword formation.”

“Our sword formation lineage is unbeatable.”

The boys below chattered excitedly, while Xiang Yun quietly observed from the High Platform.

If the poorest in the sect were the puppet enthusiasts, the second poorest were the sword formation disciples.

Although the Hidden Spirit Sect provided sword formation disciples with basic spiritual treasures and high-quality spiritual swords from the shared treasury,

it still wasn’t enough to satisfy their desire for a full set of high-end spiritual swords.

Amid the chatter, one voice stood out.

“I think what our sword formation lineage needs most is more high-quality spiritual swords,” Li Jin Yun said.

“Exactly! Our sword formation lineage needs not just a pure heart for swordsmanship but also more spiritual and Immortal Swords,” Xiang Yun replied with a smile.

“After all, only with these swords can we fully unleash the power of our formations.”

“The stronger the spiritual swords, the more powerful the formations.”

As Xiang Yun spoke, he couldn’t help but think of the sect’s richest.

Not long ago, they had sparred.

During the match, when Han Feiyu unleashed hundreds of Primal Spiritual Swords and a single innate supreme treasure level spiritual sword,

before their formations even clashed, Xiang Yun knew he had already lost.
