After regaining his senses, Feng Zhang immediately teleported Jiang Wuyuan over.
Such a promising talent, hesitating for even a second longer would be disrespectful to oneself.
So by the time Jiang Wuyuan realized what was happening, he had already arrived at the courtyard where the young man in white lived.
The phantom of a crane flew across the horizon, while the lake water surged and remained clear.
Jiang Wuyuan looked around and respectfully cupped his hands to the white-robed youth who came out of the house, saying, "Greetings, senior."
"You don't seem surprised to see me?" Feng Zhang smiled, walked up to Jiang Wuyuan, and accepted his bow.
Anyway, he was going to pass on his legacy to Jiang Wuyuan, so Jiang Wuyuan could be considered half a disciple of his.
Since he is half a disciple, it is only right that he accepts this bow.
"I only knew you existed, but I didn't know you were still alive..." Jiang Wuyuan said, glancing at Feng Zhang furtively.
“Of course I’m not alive.” Feng Zhang’s gaze swept over Jiang Wuyuan and looked into the distance. “What you see of me is just a wisp of a remnant soul. The reason I can maintain this form is because of the formation here. If I leave this place, my soul and body will be destroyed in an instant.”
Jiang Wuyuan remained silent for a moment.
“It’s nice here,” Feng Zhang said with a smile. “At least, I’m not all alone.”
"Are there others on the floating islands too...?"
Jiang Wuyuan did not say it explicitly, but Feng Zhang understood what he meant.
“Yes, we all have them. When the end of the Dharma era came, Misty Peak left behind a few of our remnant souls to guide future generations in order to preserve our heritage.” Feng Zhang recounted in detail, “Unfortunately, millions of years have passed, and the key to the secret realm has been lost somewhere, with no descendants arriving for a long time.”
But now, we've finally waited for this moment.
When the successor is found, my long-cherished wish will be fulfilled.
"I wonder if you are interested in the art of formations?" Feng Zhang changed the subject and asked with a smile.
Jiang Wuyuan spoke frankly: "I was only shocked before, but I had never delved into it."
"It's alright. With your talent, it shouldn't be difficult for you to get started." Feng Zhang nodded, raised his hand, and the two of them immediately appeared in a training room.
The training room seemed to be set up with many formations. Stepping into it, Jiang Wuyuan felt his mind become clear.
An ancient scroll appeared in Feng Zhang's palm, moving automatically without wind, and slowly unfurled in front of Jiang Wuyuan.
"This is the method of sword formation." Feng Zhang's voice, along with the vast text on the scroll, was imprinted in Jiang Wuyuan's mind. "Using the sword as the array eye and the body as the array plate, this is the sword formation."
In an instant, the golden characters leaping on the scroll seemed to come alive, rushing into Jiang Wuyuan's sight.
Offensive formations, defensive formations, teleportation formations, and soul-binding formations.
Every word and phrase was as vast as the ocean, completely captivating Jiang Wuyuan.
This is almost a completely new direction, combining swordsmanship and formation techniques to create a more powerful method.
However, compared to its immense power, creating a sword formation requires far more mental and physical energy.
——
It took Jiang Wuyuan almost half a day to read through all the knowledge on the scroll.
These are basic knowledge about formations and Feng Zhang's understanding of sword formations.
"Have you memorized everything?" Feng Zhang asked with a smile as Jiang Wuyuan gradually came to his senses.
Jiang Wuyuan raised his hand and rubbed his slightly sore temples: "Reporting to Senior, I have remembered everything."
"In that case, let's give it a try." Feng Zhang waved his hand, and the training room instantly expanded several times over.
The defensive formation was activated, coating the walls of the entire training room with a layer of crystalline blue light.
Jiang Wuyuan's expression remained calm, but a sharp glint flashed in his deep, star-like pupils.
Four Symbols Sword Formation!
One of the sword formations recorded on the scroll, a powerful offensive sword formation, and also an introductory formation for sword formations.
"Rise!" Jiang Wuyuan shouted in a low voice.
Four streams of light shot out from the sword case.
Devouring Star, Azure Flame Singing, Candle Phoenix Dancing, and a fourth-tier longsword.
Four swords stood in mid-air, positioned orderly beside Jiang Wuyuan under his control.
Then, the boy formed a hand seal.
Buzz—
A massive array diagram spread outwards from Jiang Wuyuan's center, with golden lines outlining the pattern of the array plate, and dazzling light shining into the boy's eyes.
Core formation, back in position!
Four longswords shot out and came to a steady stop at the four key points of the formation.
Then, Jiang Wuyuan suddenly activated the formation.
In an instant, golden light shone brightly.
With the infusion of sword intent, the power of the sword formation is further enhanced.
Under Feng Zhang's delighted gaze, the phantom images of the four beasts slowly emerged.
Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise.
Their bodies were tightly wrapped around the four swords, and a terrifying pressure emanated from them, as if they could rush up and tear the enemy to shreds at any moment.
Jiang Wuyuan stood in the center of the sword formation, a drop of cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
There was no other reason than that the sword formation was consuming too much energy, and with his current cultivation level, he probably couldn't sustain it for long.
"Very good." Feng Zhang looked at Jiang Wuyuan's figure with satisfaction and gave himself a thumbs up for his good eye in finding the right person.
Activating the sword formation on the first use is an absolutely unparalleled talent.
"Let's test its power again." Feng Zhang threw out another new puppet.
The puppet at the peak of the Martial Emperor realm had more lively eyes than the previous puppet.
Jiang Wuyuan narrowed his eyes and controlled the four symbols generated by the formation to launch an attack simultaneously.
At the same time, Jiang Wuyuan also rushed forward, leading his sword formation.
The advantage of a sword formation over a regular formation is that a sword formation can move along with the user.
