Chapter 1828 I’m Going to Start Cracking the Formation

There were a total of four towers.

Three of them were Seven-storey Towers, and the other was a Nine-storey Tower.

“What are these towers?” asked Fang Qiu curiously, pointing at the four towers in the square.

“These are Seven-storey Seclusion Towers and a Nine-storey Practice Tower.”

Wei Jian replied with a smile, “These Seven-storey Towers are specially prepared for the disciples of the Sword Sect for secluded cultivation. They can prevent all sounds and interference from the outside world. Moreover, they can easily make one enter a meditative state. They are great treasures for cultivation. The effect of the first floor is similar to that of the Laozi Relic, and it gets better on every floor. I heard that the effect of the seventh floor is twice as good as the first floor.”

“Really?”

Fang Qiu was astonished.

If the cultivation effect of the seventh floor was twice as good as the first floor, didn’t that mean that the cultivation effect on the seventh floor would be twice as good as that in the Laozi Relic?

The Qi of Heaven and Earth contained in the Laozi Relic was extremely rich.

The effect of cultivation on it was very obvious. Although the Qi of Heaven and Earth in the place where the Sword Sect was located was not weak, it was still a little inferior to that in the Laozi Relic.

In this case, how could the cultivation effect in the Seven-storey Towers be so much stronger?

“Have these towers existed since ancient times?”

Fang Qiu observed carefully and found that the four towers were very old. At first glance, they looked like ancient buildings.

“Yes.”

Wei Jian nodded and said, “These four towers have existed since ancient times. The square and the pavilions behind them were built by later generations.”

“Only things that have been passed down since ancient times can be so nice.”

Fang Qiu nodded.

Since those towers were ancient buildings, it was natural for them to have some special effects.

“What about the Nine-storey Tower?”

Fang Qiu turned to look at the Nine-storey Tower.

“Let’s go over there first.”

Wei Jian pointed to the pavilions built against the mountain behind the square and said, “Because the Seven-storey Towers are crowded all year round, under normal circumstances, it is difficult to enter them to observe. But the Nine-storey Tower is different. Because it is a Practice Tower, you can enter it at any time. But before entering, we’d better go there first and report to the higher-ups.”

“Okay.”

Fang Qiu nodded to show that he understood.

After all, this was the territory of the Sword Sect.

It was permitted by the higher-ups of the Sword Sect that Fang Qiu could come here.

Since he was a guest in the Sword Sect, he had to at least go to see the higher-ups and inform them of his visit. Otherwise, it would be too impolite of him to start looking around as soon as he arrived.

“After you.”

Wei Jian reached out his hand to the pavilion against the mountain behind the square and motioned for Fang Qiu to go over.

He took the lead and was ready to lead Fang Qiu forward.

Just then-

Clatter! Clatter! Clatter!

The sound of running could be heard.

“Martial Uncle Wei Jian.”

A young disciple of the Sword Sect ran over and blocked Wei Jian’s way. With a smile on his face, he pointed at the Nine-storey Practice Tower and said, “The Twelve Swordsmen have asked you to go over!”

“The Twelve Swordsmen?”

Wei Jian stopped, raised his eyebrows, and said, “Don’t they know that I’m entertaining a guest? What do the Twelve Swordsmen want?”

“They know that.”

The young disciple of the Sword Sect nodded with a smile and said, “They wish to see this distinguished guest. The Twelve Swordsmen asked me to bring a message. If he wants to enter the important place of the Sword Sect, he must pass their test!”

After that, the young disciple of the Sword Sect grinned and left.

Wei Jian was stunned.

“The Twelve Swordsmen are all here?”

Wei Jian turned around with a blank face, looked at Fang Qiu, and said, “And they’re asking us to go to the Nine-storey Practice Tower?”

However, Fang Qiu looked calm.

His eyes fell on the young disciple of the Sword Sect who had just left.

“He’s in the ninth class!”

He clearly felt that the strength of this young disciple of the Sword Sect was at the peak of the ninth class, only one step away from being a guru.

Moreover, this man was obviously much younger than Yun Yangzi when he made himself famous.

In Wulin, he was definitely a top genius.

However, he was merely ordinary and above average in the Sword Sect.

Fang Qiu couldn’t help sighing with emotion.

The Sword Sect was indeed the No.1 force in Huaxia, which was terrifyingly powerful.

The thing was that everyone in the Sword Sect was strong, not just one person was talented. That was to say, everyone who joined the Sword Sect would be valued and cultivated, and no one would be ignored.

It would be strange if such a force wasn’t powerful.

Moreover, the resources of the Sword Sect must be very good. Otherwise, it would be impossible to cultivate so many geniuses at the same time.

“What do you think?”

Wei Jian didn’t notice that Fang Qiu was absent-minded at all. Instead, he said with a wry smile, “It’s quite unreasonable for the Twelve Swordsmen to do this. If you don’t want to go over, I’ll tell them.”

“That’s alright.”

Fang Qiu shook his head with a smile and said, “Since it’s an invitation from the Twelve Swordsmen, I shall oblige.”

Then, led by Wei Jian, Fang Qiu walked to the Nine-storey Practice Tower.

They arrived at the Practice Tower.

A disciple guarding the entrance said, “Martial Uncle Wei Jian, the Twelve Swordsmen have said that you may just wait here.”

“Here?”

Wei Jian curled his lips and said, “Didn’t they ask me to wait at the Dragon Gate?”

“No.”

The disciple replied honestly, “The Twelve Swordsmen asked you to wait here.”

“I have to go to the Dragon Gate to wait.”

Wei Jian snorted and then said to Fang Qiu, “This is the Nine-storey Practice Tower. The Twelve Swordsmen should be waiting for you inside. I guess they will have to have a spar with you. If you lose, you can only exit from where you entered. Only if you win can you go up to the tower and come out of the Dragon Gate.”

“I see.”

Fang Qiu nodded knowingly and asked, “Do you really believe that I can come out of the Dragon Gate?”

“It’s not that I believe that.”

Wei Jian shook his head with a wry smile and said, “After all, the strength of the Twelve Swordsmen is amazing. I’m just staking my claim.”

“It would appear that I am in trouble.”

Fang Qiu laughed and stepped into the Nine-storey Practice Tower.

The space on the first floor was extremely large.

It was just that there wasn’t a single person there. It was completely empty, with only an ancient stone staircase that led to the second floor.

Fang Qiu stepped up the stone staircase.

The same went for the second floor.

The third floor was still empty.

Fang Qiu didn’t stop until he reached the eighth floor.

Unlike the previous seven floors, the space on the eighth floor was comparatively smaller, but the overall space was still very large.

Twelve chairs were placed around the eighth floor.

From 12 different directions, they surrounded the walls of the eighth floor, surrounding the entire space.

At this moment, there was one person sitting on each of the twelve chairs.

The first thing that came into view was a young man with long snow-white hair. He was sitting on the largest chair, holding a long black sword in his hand.

Everyone else was holding a long sword in their hands.

“Welcome to the Sword Sect.”

The man with snow-white long hair stood up and made a hold-fist salute to Fang Qiu with a smile.

“You’re the Twelve Swordsmen, right?”

Fang Qiu nodded with understanding and asked, “May I know your name?”

“Mu Bai.”

The white-haired man said, “I heard that you are one of the few top experts in Wulin who have studied formations. That’s why we invited you to come here, John Doe. We want to ask you for advice. What do you think of it?”

“Formations?”

Fang Qiu glanced at the 12 people. He then shook his head and said with a smile, “You don’t seem to be merely asking for my advice by doing this.”

“Since we’re doing this, there will be a challenge.”

Mu Bai replied, “But don’t worry, John Doe. We won’t go too far!”

“It seems that it will be really difficult for me to exit from the Dragon Gate.”

Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “This is troublesome.”

“Haha.”

Mu Bai laughed and said, “Brother John Doe, please don’t mind. Dragon Gate is only set up for the disciples of our Sword Sect. Besides, you are facing 12 people alone. Even if you go back the way you came, no one will dare to laugh at you.”

“That’s not so correct.”

Fang Qiu twisted his wrists and ankles and said, “Since I’m having a challenge, I can’t go back the way I came. It’s rare for me to come to the Sword Sect. I really have to go to the Dragon Gate.”

When he finished speaking, the Twelve Swordsmen all laughed.

Standing in the middle, Fang Qiu took a deep breath.

He could clearly feel that the strength of these 12 people was very strong. Each of them was at the peak of the One-Flower Core Realm, about the same as him.

Although they seemed to be equal in terms of strength, it was not necessarily the case when it came to combat capability.

After all, Fang Qiu was the one who had killed the Little Saint Lord in the Two-Flower Core Realm.

“Form the formation!”

Mu Bai shouted in a deep voice.

The other eleven people stood up in an instant.

The six of them, whose positions were arranged in odd numbers, drew their long swords at the same time, stepped forward, and surrounded Fang Qiu.

On the other hand, the other six were in the outer circle, which was the opposite of the inner circle.

Buzz!

A strong aura suddenly burst out from the twelve people, as if they were a whole. Fang Qiu didn’t even feel the distribution of energy.

The energy erupted from the 12 people directly condensed into an energy formation, covering all the space on the eighth floor of the tower.

A gust of incomparably powerful Sword Intent immediately spread out.

“Sword formation?”

Fang Qiu raised his surprised eyebrows.

He immediately thought of the Combined Attack Sword Formation that he had taught He Gaoming and the others.

However, it seemed that the sword formation displayed by the Twelve Swordsmen was much simpler than the Combined Attack Sword Formation.

Although there were a lot of participants in this sword formation, the changes in the sword formation were nothing more than the rotation and changes of the outer and outer circles.

As for the Combined Attack Sword Formation, although the number of participants was slightly smaller, it focused on fighting styles. It had different fighting styles while dealing with different numbers of opponents. It was more flexible in battle and had more variations.

The formation performed by the Twelve Swordsmen was a rigid fixed one with only the moving inner and outer circles.

Moreover, the 12 people formed a whole. Once one of them was hurt, the effect of the formation would be greatly reduced. If both the inner circle and the outer circle were breached, the formation would be directly ruined.

Compared with the Combined Attack Sword Formation which was almost uncrackable, it was indeed not so perfect.

After all, the Combined Attack Sword Formation was brought by the divine sword and was extraordinary.

“Then, I’m going to start breaching the formation!”

After carefully observing the formation, Fang Qiu moved and immediately acted.
