The sweeping monk thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, let Cao Zhengchun come over. It's just that the Holy Son's mission has not been completed properly again. I am ashamed!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Di realized that Cao Zhengchun was the eunuch who often followed his senior brother, and immediately became interested.
"Master, Senior Brother won't be unhappy. Wouldn't it be wonderful to just take the cash back with us when Cao Zhengchun arrives? Senior Brother might even get a reward!"
The sweeping monk was also taken aback upon hearing this, and exclaimed, "Hmm, that's excellent. Go and find thirty-six swords of grade three or higher, and I will set up an array at the place where the demonic cultivator is located to prevent him from escaping."
"Formation? Master, can you teach me that?"
In this world, only those at the Unity Realm are qualified to access formations.
Because formations require communication with the power of heaven and earth, only those at the Unity Realm are qualified to set up formations.
Ordinary sects do not have the inheritance of formation techniques. Only ancient sects or sects that support formation masters are qualified to talk about the inheritance of formation techniques.
"This was passed down to me by the Holy Son after my cultivation reached the Unity Realm. It is called the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Sword Formation, and it is a secret passed down only within our sect!"
In fact, the Sweeping Monk didn't know where Meng Fan's sword formation came from. Some time ago, Meng Fan synchronized many cultivation techniques with them. Although the quantity was not as large as before, the quality was extremely high.
Among them was a strange book called the Shushan Sword Manual. It was called a strange book simply because this technique was actually a cultivation method for immortality, which excited all the characters summoned by Meng Fan!
They could tell that the Sword Control Technique and the Shu Mountain Sword Manual came from the same sect. The Sword Control Technique was purely a method of killing, while the Shu Mountain Sword Manual was all-encompassing, including the method of formations.
This is no longer martial arts; this is the legendary level of Taoist magic!
The martial arts manuals that Meng Fan drew were all listed and instilled into their minds through the system, letting them know the characteristics of each manual. However, without the protection of the system, they could not fully synchronize with Meng Fan's insights and could only learn one manual at a time.
When they saw Meng Fan's introduction to this cultivation method, it was only a few words: "Shushan Immortal Cultivation Method, which can lead to the realm of refining emptiness and merging with the Dao!"
Although they didn't understand the sentence, the words "cultivating immortality" perfectly explained this technique!
Those who are born in the Innate Realm gain 200 years of lifespan, those who are Grandmasters gain 300 years, those who are Great Grandmasters gain 500 years, and those who are Returning to One Realm gain 800 years. But as long as you enter the Shu Mountain Sword Technique, you will gain 300 years of lifespan!
As for the subsequent stages of refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into the Dao, lifespan is multiplied!
Meng Fan was initially quite surprised. He vaguely remembered that this cultivation technique wasn't this powerful, so it must have been enhanced by the system!
Getting back to the main point, under Huang Younian's supervision, thirty-six identical longswords were quickly brought out. The sweeping monk saw that each of these longswords gleamed with a cold light and had actually reached the fifth rank. It was clear that the Yun Sheng Dynasty had put a lot of effort into them!
He possesses dozens of divine skills, including several internal energy cultivation techniques for healing. At this moment, his injuries have recovered by half, and the rest can only be slowly recovered through seclusion.
He nodded silently and said, "You two come with me."
"Yes." Chu Di and Huang Younian quickly replied, seeing that they could learn something new.
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over, clasped his hands in a respectful gesture before the sweeping monk, and said, "Junior Ouyang Zi thanks the Holy Monk for saving my Yun Sheng Dynasty. The Holy Monk is a compassionate and virtuous person, whom I greatly admire. Would it be alright if I led the way?"
The sweeping monk readily agreed, saying, "Then I'll trouble you."
Chu Di couldn't help but glance at the Grandmaster in front of him, pondering how to poach him in the future.
All of them were highly skilled cultivators, and they traversed mountains and valleys as if walking on flat ground. Before long, they arrived at a valley.
The sweeping monk looked up at the surrounding scenery, as if trying to confirm something.
“There is a great array protecting this place, and a demonic cultivator at the Grandmaster level is hidden inside.”
The group looked at each other, unable to discern any trace of an array.
Ouyang Zi stepped forward and said, "Holy Monk, if there is only one Grandmaster, why not let me handle him?"
He was very confident. Unless he was facing a powerful figure like the Sweeper Monk who had reached the Unity Realm, he never took anyone at his level seriously!
The sweeping monk seemed to see through him and said calmly, "Demonic cultivators have many tricks up their sleeves, making them impossible to guard against. Although your yang energy is strong, making you the nemesis of demonic cultivators, you are also a great tonic for them. Moreover, he has a powerful array protecting him, so you are probably no match for him."
Ouyang Zi was somewhat unconvinced, but he greatly admired the Sweeper Monk's character, so he did not argue.
The sweeping monk didn't care what he thought, and with a flick of his wrist, he slapped the sword box, and the thirty-six longswords flew out.
The sweeping monk flew to the top of the mountain, took a deep breath, seemingly to calm himself down, and muttered incantations.
"Heaven and earth are boundless, and the universe borrows their laws."
Suddenly, winds and clouds rose and spiritual energy gathered between the mountains.
"The law arises from the mind, and it is ever-renewing."
Thirty-six longswords transformed into white light, weaving through the mountains.
"To manipulate the way of Heaven, to transform Yin and Yang, to create Yin and Yang, and to turn the universe around."
In the eyes of Chu Di and his two companions, the once beautiful valley was suddenly torn open with several cracks, and the dense blood energy inside was almost liquid. However, the three of them could not see what was behind the blood energy at all!
"Who goes there? Don't you know the Blood God Sect is here? How dare you disrupt our sect's great formation!"
A startled and angry shout rang out, and as the shouts continued, the crevice widened, and the valley was filled with the smell of blood. The flowers, grass and trees in the valley withered rapidly, and the birds and beasts gradually lost their vitality!
A middle-aged, burly man appeared before the crowd, his face flashing with shock and anger!
Upon seeing this scene, Ouyang Zi knew that the holy monk had not tricked him. The demonic cultivator's aura was too terrifying. Although he considered himself invincible in the Grandmaster realm, he dared not say that he could defeat this demonic cultivator.
The middle-aged man looked up at the sweeping monk, his face suddenly filled with terror, and exclaimed, "Return to One Realm?! Where is my master? Who are you?"
The sweeping monk seemed to be struggling to operate the formation, and he didn't answer. His face was as white as paper, which the middle-aged man could see.
"Hahahaha! You must have been seriously injured in your battle with my master and are now too weak to continue!"
The middle-aged man suddenly realized something and looked at Chu Di and his two companions.
"Those few piece of trash over there are here to help you? Haha, I'll kill you all and drain your blood!"
"The blood of a master at the Unity Realm must be incredibly wonderful!"
Having said that, he channeled all his magical power, intending to take down this heavily injured Guiyi Realm cultivator in one fell swoop!
But his blood-red true energy was annihilated by a sword light as soon as he started to circulate it.
While he was filled with surprise and doubt, he heard the voice of the sweeping monk.
"Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Sword Formation, activate!"
Then, the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) suddenly gathered together, and sword light rose everywhere, enveloping the entire valley. Only screams could be heard from inside!
"Ah! What kind of sorcery is this? Ah! My arm! Is this a formation?!"
Seeing that the sword formation had been set up, the sweeping monk was immediately relieved. However, he could no longer hold on and spat out a mouthful of golden blood, about to fall down.
Chu Di quickly moved to the Sweeper Monk's side and used the healing techniques from the Free and Easy Divine Art to channel his energy into him.
After a long while, the sweeping monk finally said, "It seems I am still far from being able to fight against the heavens! I didn't expect to be so badly injured, and I almost couldn't even set up the formation!"
