After leaving the basement where the Blood Demon was, Su Rui returned to the Bamboo Mountain Sect's headquarters. The thirty-six mechanical figures had already been completed, and coming here now was just the right time to practice the Tiangang Sword Formation together.
After the three men checked the thirty-six mechanical men one by one, the elder of the Zhushan Sect took out a formation diagram made of unknown materials and threw it out of the house. The formation diagram suddenly floated in the air and became the size of one acre.
"Set up the formation!" The elder of the Zhushan Sect shouted in a deep voice, and took the lead in controlling the more than ten mechanical men he had refined to enter the array's preset center. Senior Brother Li and Su Rui also hurriedly cast spells to control the mechanical men they had refined to enter the pre-agreed positions in the array.
"Set up the formation!" The Zhushan Sect elder shouted loudly after seeing that all the mechanical personnel were in place.
Suddenly, a faint green light appeared on the bodies of the thirty-six mechanical men at the same time, echoing with the lines engraved on the formation diagram. The entire sword formation began to hum, and invisible sword energy surged in the formation, crushing the surrounding air and making sharp sounds of breaking through the air.
At this time, the control of the mechanical men refined by Su Rui and Senior Brother Li had been transferred to the hands of the elder of the Zhushan Sect, and he alone controlled the entire Tiangang Sword Formation.
Su Rui stood outside the formation, watching this miraculous sword formation with awe. Composed of thirty-six mechanical figures and a formation diagram, the sword formation might seem unremarkable, but the power contained within was earth-shattering. He could sense that each mechanical figure within the formation possessed immense strength, and their coordination was seamless, as if they were one unified entity.
At the command of the Bamboo Mountain Sect's elder, the sword formation began to operate. Thirty-six mechanical figures simultaneously waved their longswords, unleashing streams of sharp sword energy. These sword energies intertwined in the air to form a vast sword net, enveloping the entire Bamboo Mountain Sect headquarters. Wherever the sword net passed, the void was torn apart, creating black cracks, as if the very space itself had been ripped apart by the sword energy.
Su Rui was startled and quickly channeled his Qi, unleashing his Supreme Demonic Qi to form a shield. He could sense the immense power of these sword energies; even a master like him would be vulnerable if struck by them. Fortunately, the White Bone Relic in his hand, refined from the White Bone Demon God, was incredibly refined and could completely block these sword energies.
"What a powerful sword formation!"
Su Rui was secretly amazed. When he first started refining the automatons, he had somewhat looked down on the automatons wielding the Green Bamboo Sword, but now his opinion had completely changed. It was the first time he had seen such a powerful sword formation, one that perfectly combined the strength of thirty-six automatons to unleash such overwhelming power. If he hadn't experienced it himself, he wouldn't have believed it.
The Bamboo Mountain Sect elder watched the sword formation in action, a flicker of pride in his eyes. He had spent decades developing this sword formation, building upon the existing Tiangang Sword Formation, incorporating his life's work and wisdom. He always believed it to be one of the most powerful sword formations in the world, capable of easily defeating even the most formidable foe.
"Not bad, not bad!" The Zhushan Sect elder nodded with satisfaction.
"However, this isn't even the strongest state of this sword formation. If we can find the fragments of the thirty-six Celestial Stars and embed them into the body of the mechanical man, the power of this sword formation will be increased several times. By then, even if a casual cultivator from land were to arrive, they might not be able to break through this sword formation!"
Su Rui's heart stirred, and a glint of insight flashed in his eyes. These fragments of the Tiangang Star were an extremely precious material, capable of enhancing the power of magic weapons. If he could obtain these fragments and inlay them into a magic weapon, the magic weapon would be enhanced with star power, and its power would be raised to a higher level.
"However, these fragments of the Tiangang stars are not easy to find. They are distributed outside the domain, and you need to cultivate the Yuanshen Dharma Image and then travel outside the domain to find them. Moreover, although this thing is not rare outside the domain, there are not many of them. It still takes a lot of time and effort to find them." said the elder of Zhushan Sect.
"Moreover, these fragments are not so easy to obtain. They are often occupied by some powerful forces or extraterritorial demons. If you want to obtain them, you will have to pay a high price."
Su Rui didn't care about what he said next, but just remembered his words. He would consider the question of whether it was difficult or not when he had the ability to travel beyond the realm in the future.
The power of this Tiangang Sword Formation, composed of mechanical beings, was beyond imagination. However, its energy consumption was equally enormous. Even the elders of the Bamboo Mountain Sect, who had reached the Golden Core stage, did not dare to practice it frequently. They only operated it briefly, tested its quality, and then stopped.
The sword formation diagram itself possesses a storage function, so the Zhushan Sect elders simply placed the mechanical man within it. The next time they engage in a duel, they only need to open the diagram to activate the formation and annihilate their opponent. It's like a magician's magic pocket, ready to pull out a deadly weapon at any time, leaving the enemy defenseless.
On the morning of the second day, the Huairen Building's guest hall was already packed. How could these people dare to disobey Master Bai Gu's words? This clearly demonstrated the immense power and influence of Master Bai Gu!
After everyone gathered, Bai Gu Zhenren spoke: "I have already found out that the younger generation, led by Emei, are gathering at a place called Liu'an Temple. I will stop talking nonsense and kill them today to destroy the future foundation of these Emei people!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately cheered. Some people even took out their flying swords or magic weapons with murderous intent, as if they were ready to kill immediately.
Bai Gu Zhenren laughed and waved his sleeves. A canopy of green flames ignited above the throne, and Bai Gu Zhenren transformed into a green cloud and flew out of the room. The green flames were eerie and ghostly, like will-o'-the-wisp fire emanating from the netherworld, flickering with an alluring light. Bai Gu Zhenren stood within the green flames, like a demon descended to earth, emanating a chilling evil aura. His laughter was like the cry of a night owl, chilling to the bone.
Not to be outdone, the crowd inside unleashed their own unique skills. Some wielded flying swords, others used demonic fire. Even some of the Bamboo Mountain Sect's disciples wielded mechanical birds. The Blood Demon, however, transformed into a blood-soaked shadow, creating a scene reminiscent of a hundred demons emerging from the earth and a hundred ghosts parading through the night. For a moment, swords flew like shuttles, demonic fire blazed, mechanical birds soared, and blood-soaked shadows drifted erratically. The entire scene resembled a magnificent magical feast, a dazzling display of all sorts of bizarre lights and colors.
Each of these individuals possessed unique abilities. Some gracefully wielded flying swords like dancing fairies, while others raged like enraged demons, wielding raging demonic fire. The disciples of the Bamboo Mountain Sect, like well-trained soldiers, manipulated their mechanical birds to advance and retreat in an orderly fashion. The Blood Demon, like a ghost, silently and unpredictably moved among the crowd.
The scene was a visual feast, transporting one to a fantastical world. Strange lights and colors intertwined, dazzling the eyes. The scene resembled a painting, and the people within were the protagonists, each displaying their magical powers, collectively performing a thrilling spectacle.
Su Rui fell behind, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he secretly activated the synchronization card, whispered a few words, and then stepped on the bone sword light transformed from the Bai Gu Relics and flew into the void after them, heading straight for Liu'an Temple.
